Amanda Sthers
I'm not sure about your decision to speedy tag Amanda Sthers as G11 "...because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic...". I just removed a single line of text to make it acceptable for the mainspace. No fundamental rewrite. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:39, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Warning users about copyright violations
Hi there. You removed copyvio content in this edit. Thank you for that. :) However, you did not warn the user about it. User:Jaypatel111's user talk shows he has done this before and been warned. Not warning him allows him to continue and may result in us having to do a lot of clean up. Please warn those who add copyvio content, okay? Thanks.

Ryder Cup
I was adhering to the standard British English practice of spelling "practise" when using it as a verb. As it's a subject with much British tradition I fail to see why American English should prevail. Even then, I notice our American friends have added further confusion with their "practise/license" combo for both verbs and nouns by spelling them "practice/licence" when used as verbs.

As G B Shaw said: "England and America are two countries separated by the same language". I always default to British English, or my country's language, Australian English, if there's any ambiguity. This presumption that standard English is American English holds no truck with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindommer (talk • contribs) 11:31, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Battle of Saipan
I wanted to let someone know that the Destroyer USS COGHLAN (DD 606) was part of the bombardment force during the invasion. Another ship wrongly spelled was in its place incorrectly. I am new to wiki edits and wanted to make the correction. Many history books on the subject including navy and marine publications correctly show this ship off Beach Red.

Tech News: 2016-40
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 October. It will be on all wikis from 6 October (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg Tidy will be replaced. Instead the HTML 5 parsing algorithm will be used to clean up bad HTML in wikitext. This would cause problems on a number of wikis. They need to be fixed first.


 * will not work on Wikivoyage after 24 October. You should use  instead. If you need help to fix this before 24 October you should ask for it as soon as possible.
