Edit summaries
Hallo, Thanks for your edits on Rory Stewart, but could you please used Edit Summaries to describe what you're doing, and perhaps split such a major edit up into several smaller ones to help fellow editors to see what you're doing? I can see that you reduced the size of the article substantially, but can't find what it was that you removed! Could you give us a clue, please? Thanks. Pam D  22:56, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Pam, thanks for the advice! I will follow your suggestions when using Wikipedia in the feature. I edited the article to make it chronological in terms of the individual's military and political service and updated info on his new role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.20.248 (talk) 09:05, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Hallo, thanks for getting back to me, but I still can't see how the article lost 2,457 characters if that was what you were doing - I'm worried in case something got removed accidentally. Pam  D  09:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Virginia crosbie
Hello Lauraemilyd,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Virginia crosbie for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
