Sea Gypsies
Please note that disambiguation pages like Sea Gypsies are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:


 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
 * Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
 * Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Strictly speaking, the Dumas reference shouldn't be listed at all, since the The Count of Monte Cristo doesn't mention sea gypsies, but I'm hoping that someone will add it! Leschnei (talk) 12:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)


 * - Thank you for that information. I would like to point out that I did not add the information to the article, except for the . When I look at the article's history, it looks like it was added a while ago. Thank you for the information and I will keep an eye on making sure I don't do that.

 * Sorry about that - I did check the history, but clicked on the wrong editor! Leschnei (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User talk:Vishva Mohan babu, appears to have been inappropriate, and has been reverted. Please feel free to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. User talk pages are not eligible for deletion under WP:G8. David Biddulph (talk) 01:55, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * thank you fir the notice. I was not sure which one to use (I missed the part about it not applying to user talk pages because it says talk pages). Maybe article should be placed in front of that to make it more clear. What could be used to have the content removed? The user recently signed up and is only targeting this specific item they are trying to create that is already in the main article and the put what was on the page that had twice been deleted and once rejected for AfC? I noticed their edit summaries too which don’t seem right to me like I want to see this published) and they removed tags and such. Thanks Bakertheacre Chat/What I Baked 02:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Limosella acaulis
Hi there. The problem in that article was simply that the reflist template (and the "References" section to put it in) was missing from the bottom of the article. This is required to collect and list all the refs declared in the text; if it is absent, they just get dumped at the very end. I sorted it out. Cheers -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * - I am aware of that I just didn’t want to break the template by adding it. Typically I don’t see in templates so I didn’t want to take a chance. I tried it once on a history article and it broke lol. Thanks, Bakertheacre Chat/What I Baked 00:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Milton Keynes
Please explain your extraordinary edit note. I invite you to self-revert. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:09, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) The anon editor is attempting to add material that is just wrong because it is out of date. Please read Buckinghamshire.
 * 2) The article Milton Keynes is a WP:Good article. Invalid edits that undermine that status can and should be reverted without further ado.
 * 3) The allegation against me of a WP:NPA violation was found to be unfounded, it was an extraordinary coincidence. I assume you have read my talk page: if so, please read it again. I did not apologise for a personal attack since no such attack happened: I apologised for the hurt I caused, however inadvertently. Your edit note is itself a wildly inappropriate justification for a revert and comes very close to a WP:NPA violation itself.
 * , I do apologize. With so many back and forths of the edits, I thought that was the correct one due to the amount of information presented. I have self-reverted. Please accept my apologies. Bakertheacre Chat/What I Baked 17:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply, which I appreciate. There was a lot of 'fog of war', so I do understand. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
 * I admit to being intrigued as to why someone from Nevada would be interested in Milton Keynes? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , I just go through random articles and clean them up and the article came up. I went to the history to see if it’s active and noticed it. Bakertheacre Chat/What I Baked 01:45, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Re: Henri Guinier
I should have been more specific: "bare" URLs. Lines of code. They should be hidden and the reference should indicate where the links actually go, in plain English. WQUlrich (talk) 19:52, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , Awesome thanks! Thanks, Bakertheacre Chat/What I Baked 19:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
