thanks
thank you - that's very kind of you. well fancy that, because i am going to write about recent developments in the town among other things i plan to do - so don't be worried about it. it's all just time and effort and i do try to take care so i must give a thanks to you for sorting out my sentencing. areas of Dunfermline was removed though because i felt it was a waste of space and was something that i would have done a year ago with obessive shop references which i have learnt is not appropriate on wikipedia.Kilnburn (talk) 19:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

just to keep you up to date, i should get round to adding a link to Duloch in the new modern Dunfermline sub-section in the next couple of days. Kilnburn (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

a link has been made onto the Duloch page via the areas of Dunfermline at the bottom of the article. the sub-section that i was going to do, never occured and my attempts to create a wikitable proved to be a bit of a struggle, even though it is not too bad. the spaces between the areas was the problem and if you care to look or have the time, can you please fix. thank you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of places in Glasgow. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Phil Bridger, you may be blocked from editing. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Provanhall, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Provanhall. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. sandgemADDICT yeah? 10:03, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistent disruptive editing, including edit warring over a prolonged period, persistently editing against clear consensus, removing legitimate comments from another user's talk page, personal attack, hiding a controversial edit under an edit summary claiming you were doing something completely different, etc. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 11:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mutt Lunker. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Berwick-upon-Tweed seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=586616990 your edit] to List of Germans may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20–%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Dunfermline High School‎
Hi, I noticed that you have added Dunfermline High School‎ to the list of oldest schools. I've put a request on talk: Dunfermline High School‎ for citations and more information. The list covers extant schools, a lengthy gap would mean that the later date needs to be used, still pretty early though. I'm not going to query its inclusion for the moment, let's see what comes of the of the request first. If you have sources or can improve the main article, please do so! Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Blairtummock. Following the above there was a discussion on the talk page of the school.  It appears that the 1468 date is the more reliable for the extant school.  On another, minor, point: last time I looked Dunfermline was in Scotland, not England!  Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Improvements needed at Black stane
I approved your draft, but it still needs some work. Most prominently, your introduction is very vague. Your first couple sentences (introduction) should give a full who-what-why-when-where. You currently cover the who and vaguely the what, but you don't make clear right at the start what the timeline of this practice is (and the word "ancient" is kind of confusing there). Also, the article fails to explicitly note what the "stane" literally is; it's an actual stone one sits or stands on during the event, yes? That could be made clearer right in the introduction. Note too you can check GoogleBooks to find sources that help to explain this tradition. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
