Sorry
Sorry, I thought the revised link would be more helpful - will not do again. Regards Denisarona (talk) 15:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries! The interlanguage link template has the advantage that it becomes a link to the English article if/when someone creates it, whilst still providing the link to the article in the other language in the mean time. --Deskford (talk) 15:45, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Sean Shibe
Is there a reason you removed the prod from Sean Shibe? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:54, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I was unsure whether he would meet notability criteria. Most of WP:BAND, which you cited, is not relevant for a classical performer and I'm not sure if we have more suitable criteria defined anywhere. If we have, I can't find them. Sean Shibe is a young musician at the start of his career, but has established a reputation and is well known in the UK, particularly Scotland. The AfD process gives others more chance to evaluate the sources to assess his notability. My feeling is that PROD should only be used for clear cases of non-notability, not for a borderline case like this. --Deskford (talk) 22:26, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

 * Aw... thanks Gerda! Hope I've been doing vaguely useful things in the two years since.  All best wishes!  --Deskford (talk) 12:41, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ensemble Musikfabrik, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Lang. 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.

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi, at The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Working on 21st-century classical music at present. A huge task... but necessary! Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) (talk) 19:20, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
