Reply to Welcome message
Hi and thanks for the welcome! You mentioned some of my edits might not conform to the standards, could you advise which edit(s) / page(s) so I can correct them? Thanks for your help! DM001 (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Not a hoax
Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I assure you it's not a hoax, the Fosse Team is however a small group of community churches so you won't find much on the internet about them. I'll add a couple more links from the Diocese. DM001 (talk) 08:43, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

SUBCAT - it's not just me
It's not just me/us that sees the problem. See: Mitch Ames (talk) 12:32, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome.
Just wanted to say thanks for the welcome and the tips. I'm mostly interested in climate stuff, and still figuring things out. Rubberduck23 (talk) 18:52, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Category:Beach Street, Fremantle
Are you going to create Category:Beach Street, Fremantle, which you've used in Beach Street, Fremantle?

Per WP:CATDEF:
 * "An article should never be left with a non-existent (redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created, or else the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist."

Mitch Ames (talk) 00:33, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I think she already created it hehehe ;) KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 03:12, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Now we just need some more articles to put into the category, lest someone think that it is small with no potential for growth. Mitch Ames (talk) 07:00, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Success Bank reverted edits
- some hints as to why might be helpful. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:49, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I've re-applied some of my changes as individual edits, with specific reasons in the edit summaries. If you still disagree, feel free to mention the relevant MOS guidelines or rules/conventions of English grammar that you think apply. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:27, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

London Court commons
Please test when you add commons, eg. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/London_Court does not return particularly useful results. This seems to be more useful. (See also: ) Mitch Ames (talk) 14:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello again

I am truly not sure what is asked of me regarding the article Stanley Leopold Fowler. This all happened in the 70's and although there are numerous newspaper articles, private videos and so on there is not much on the websites. It would be such a great shame that this incredible man falls into obscurity for lack of 'credible' websites. As I am doing this for the first time I also wouldnt like to lose this opportunity due to lack of wiki savviness. Please help me to complete what is needed. The tag I received talks about a button specified for contest but have tried to locate it unsuccessfully. Thank you for any help offered.

Article about myself?
Hi and thanks for the welcome! You wrote me that my first article appears to be about myself. I would love to be Christian Smith (DJ), because right now I would probably be in Mallorca or in some cool place around the world, waiting to play for some huge crowd and make the people dance. Instead, I am sitting in front of my PC at work. I don't think that one of the most important techno djs in the world would spend time editing wikipedia, anyway, let me know how can I demonstrate that I am not related to Christian Smith. Thanks for your help!

Help with getting "course instructor rights"
Hello JarrahTree,

Thanks for your message and I will take you up on your offer of help and ask you a question. I am teaching a graduate level course where I would like to include creating a wikipedia article as an assignment. The course looks at issues pertaining to dictatorship, democracy and human rights in the Middle East, and I feel that my students could significantly contribute to the breadth of information on these issues available on Wikipedia. I 'think' I have designed a comprehensive assignment, based on reading many many other Wikipedia assignments. However, what I am struggling with at this point is gaining "course instructor rights" for the assignment. I have posted a request on the Education notice board, as well as messaged a "Helaine (Wiki Ed)" asking for some help, but since you messaged me I thought perhaps you would be a good person to ask for some direction. I have gone through the Wikipedia Foundation instructor training and have read extensively on course pages and course assignments, however I am really struggling to understand how "course instructor rights" are granted - what I need to do. I should mention that the course is offered at a European university, so I do not believe I am eligible for the extensive Wikipedia Foundation assistance for courses. If you would be able to direct me to more information about this I would be really grateful. Thanks very much for your help.

Kind regards M0SN24-TD (talk) 14:14, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You can request Course instructor rights at the Education Noticeboard and an admin will assign it for you. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 22:23, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Your email
Thanks for your email. I agree with what you say. I was planning to spend yet more time writing another message trying to explain things to what I thought was a good faith but clueless editor, but luckily I had to leave the computer for a while, and by the time I came back another administrator had found that he is in fact a bad faith and clueless editor, and blocked the account, saving me from wasting more time and effort. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:02, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

After writing the message above I saw your second email. This time, I actually realised what you were talking about, because of your use of a key word from the user name, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. And never mind about apologising for sending the emails, that was no problem. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with your disagreeing with some of my edits, but please don't revert an edit with multiple changes, eg unless you explicitly disagree with all of the changes. I think you'll have some difficulty justifying re-insertion of a space before ref. Just reverse the edit that you explicitly disagree with - preferably with a comment explaining why.
