Citing to a paper (your inquiry)
Try this: Good article, and Jimmy Wales is an unconventional maven.

Your edits to the Jimmy Wales article
I am not sure what you are trying to do. In any event, if you use the reference I gave you above, it should follow the first place where you want a citation. If you cite to it again, the protocol is to reuse the ref name and follow it with a / within the two <>. This would make it look like this: You used something about "Indepdent11" or somethign like that, and it was referring back a citation that does not exist. So you get a reference error, which I am sure was unintentional. By doing this, we get the repeated use of the reference, as indicated below. Hope that helps. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 01:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Herbert Lom and hačeks on Kuchačevič
Hi.

Re this edit: This is not the way things are done around here. If you have evidence, produce it as a citation in the article or a discussion point on the talk page. We don't deal with secret information that's passed around behind the scenes. As for your bona fides, we always assume good faith, it's one of our rules. But just because you are genuine in your belief about something does not mean you are correct in your belief.

For now, I will be guided by the Czech article, and it has hačeks on both c's.  --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  06:03, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

"Irrelevant" comment
You should have edited the Rolling Stones topic better than to simply call my comment "irrelevant", I'd say the fact Rolling Stones were headlining Glastonbury were headlining at that moment was pretty irrelevant too, and you should have worded that better. Corabal (talk) 20:23, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

The first comment was there when I looked at the page and I just amended. You can change the entry any way you like, of course.

November 2013
Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 13:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Royal Corps of Signals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Second Gulf War. 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.

I picked someone who has an international reputation but you go ahead and police what you want to.

It's simply as the names listed are more globally known. Listing every attendee defeats the purpose of linking the category. Rusted AutoParts 17:14, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Your opinion. There are many more Alumni of BOVTS that are internationally known, and listed, in Wikipedia that you can link.
 * So? Linking every name defeats the purpose of linking the Category at the top. It's best to provide the names that stand out best as examples. Rusted AutoParts 12:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vitali Vitaliev, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages In Our Time and Midweek. 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.)
