Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English Sheepdog (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Honor Code (horse)


The article Honor Code (horse) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Derby edit conflict
Give me 20 minutes, I'll reconcile your edit conflict and mine. And fix my errors! ;-)  Montanabw (talk) 22:26, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, I'm done, feel free to fix anything I screwed up!  Montanabw (talk) 22:58, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Pics
Hey, just an FYI not to do fixed widths on images (i.e. 250px or whatever). The reason for this is threefold: 1) Say nothing and it will default to the standard size; adding a fixed width can sometimes have unexpected results, particularly in infoboxes.  2) People can set different default sizes for images in their browsers, and thus a fixed width will not appear as intended in such cases, 2)  Different sizes of screens and different browsers may also render fixed width images in unexpected ways.  If the problem is an image looking unusually large or small, you can use the "upright=" parameter to get a similar result, I'll show it with three images here.   Montanabw (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, and a second FYI to remember to do edit summaries, even short ones, so we have some idea of what you were doing, it's a courtesy and a standard that helps a lot.  Montanabw (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Why do you insist on adding forced widths to the various horse infoboxes after I have explained to you why we don't do this? If you think a photo is badly proportioned, then use the "upright" parameter to shrink it, not a fixed pixel width.  You are starting to edit war.  Please at least explain your reasoning with an edit summary or on the talk page.   Montanabw (talk)

Thanks but no thanks
This article had WP:GA status, your set of edits here totally messed it up. You are costing me a lot of time to fix things. Do me a favor and leave well enough alone until you know what you are doing. The next time you want to make major changes to a GA class article, please take it to talk and discuss it first. I have been trying to help you, but you don't seem to be listening very well. So I'm just going to ask you to not dive into articles with a GA or FA icon until you know what you are doing. Fixing typos is fine, removing sources and rearranging an entire article is not. Montanabw (talk) 01:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I know, I got it to GA and I'm trying to clean it up to be back to that status, sit tight, I'll ping you when I'm done. .  Montanabw (talk) 01:09, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

AlphaKate, another thing you need to stop doing unless you get consensus is removing large amounts of statistical information as you did here. These lists were created by consensus and have been stable for years. Consensus can change, but you need to discuss these things first. I don't actually want to discourage you as a wikipedia editor, but your eiting pattern is making a LOT of cleanup work for eveyrone else, so if you could be a little less "bold" it would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm McDoobAU93. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brother Bear, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Grey/Great Gatsby
Thanks for for the correction, it probably won't be the last time I do this. He's Great, he's Grey and FSF would have loved him. I think his rival Golden Horn is more of a Hemingway horse.  Tigerboy1966  16:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
