Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
You're probably not aware but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. The article about the person you added to February 6 did not have any source that I could add to this page to back up your addition so this change has been reverted. Please do not restore it without providing a direct reliable source. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 08:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Nanaimo Daily Free Press moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Nanaimo Daily Free Press, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Disambiguation link notification for May 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Morrison's Academy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Town ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Morrison%27s_Academy check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Morrison%27s_Academy?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Robbie Coltrane photo
What's the story behind File:Robbie Coltrane (actor, comedian, born 1950).jpg ? Where in Doune Castle did you take it? What was the occasion? (as he's in costume) What camera did you use? Could you scan it with a higher resolution? Another question, is there anything to be seen on the back of File:Scottish tenor Robert Wilson.jpg like the studio/photographer? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 12:26, 18 April 2022 (UTC)


 * The photo of Robbie Coltrane was taken in the Baron's Hall at Doune Castle in the 1970s. Robbie was playing a small role in a BBC TV series.  I used an old Pentax camera.  The print is a small one so I wouldn't get a higher resolution. As for the Robert Wilson photo, it was from my mother's photo collection from the 1950s, so I do not have a date or name of photographer. Regards ~ david Davidforbes (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
