Keep crossing paths, but can't remember if I've said hello - hello! It's reassuring to see other editors such as yourself beavering away ( or at least chipping away ) at the help pages, many thanks - and I think they are slowly - but surely improving. On behalf of those who benefit ( without knowing! ) - Your efforts are gratefully appreciated - Kudos --Lee&there4;V (talk • contribs) 15:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Help draft
Howdy. I noticed your tweaks to Help:Contents/Draft. 1) Yes please! Rethinking this portal/hub is overdue 2) See this discussion for what led to the giant pink banner. 3) I think a main aim of any redesign, would be to make the fact that those headers link to subpages more obvious. Currently, it might look to the casual visitor as if there are only 3 links for each section.

Personally, I still vastly prefer the all-in-one Help:Contents/Site map (though its tableofcontents died/disappeared some years ago...).

I'll see you over at Wikipedia talk:Help Project for the rest :) -- Quiddity (talk) 20:15, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * After spotting your improvements to Help:Contents, I thought I'd have a crack at tidying up the bottom half of that page - plus a couple of adjustments to the rest. The results are at Help:Contents/Draft, if you have any thoughts or comments, or think it's good enough to use, I'd love to hear from you! &mdash; PretzelsHii! 20:53, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:MLR lines


Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 23:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

English variety in LibreOffice
Hi

After seeing your edit, I decided to take a look at the article and see if it is written in American English or British English.

I checked these criteria:
 * 1) Specific spellings such as "Minimise" vs. "Minimize" or "counter-part" vs. "counterpart"
 * 2) Use of "the"
 * 3) Use of oxford comma

Result? Well, the article is really written in a mixture of both American and British English. None is really dominant.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Anna Josepha King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Devonshire (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Aerial-CGI-Central Park.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Aerial-CGI-Central Park.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Gallery Restoration
I notice you are restoring image galleries on CityRail station articles. This is fine but please do so with caution and take note of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains and WP:IG. Please do not bluntly revert as there may be other changes in addition to the removal of the gallery on each article. Also, retain all commons/commonscat/commons+cat tags on every article so viewers may access more images of each station with ease. YuMaNuMa Contrib 03:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trams in Australia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gold Coast (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Help Project newsletter : Issue 7
The Help Project Newsletter Issue VII - August 2013

Hello from Hong Kong, and the Wikimania DevCamp! Just a quick bulletin to update everyone on recent goings-on:


 * There was a Wikimedia blog post about our experience at the Open Help Conference.
 * Based on discussions at the Open Help Conference, Seeeko, Ocaasi and the wub have drafted a series of guidelines for writing and improving help pages.
 * There is now also a system in place for assessing help pages by quality and importance. See Help Project/Assessment for more details and the two scales we are using.
 * A project collaboration has been started, the first one is focusing on the above mentioned Assessment. Discussions about this are welcome at Wikipedia talk:Help Project.
 * New contributors' help page/questions was merged into Teahouse/Questions
 * A couple of other mergers have been proposed:
 * Questions and Requests
 * How to help and New contributors' help page
 * Help:Introduction to talk pages and Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines have both been overhauled and updated to use the new tutorial design.

Suggestions for future issues are welcome at Help Project/Newsletter.

If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name.
