Minor edits
Please do not mark as minor edits that are not actually minor edits, as you did to Sally Hemings. Adding or deleting sentences, categories, or entire sections of an article are not minor edits. Marking a major change as a minor one is considered rude at best, and can be considered deliberately deceptive. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Please click "My preferences" at the top of the page, click the "Editing" tab, and uncheck "Mark all edits minor by default". Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 21:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you would be so kind as to explain why my very small edit to Sally Hemings is considered "major" by you. Given that I said nothing about Hemings' ethnic background that had not already been mentioned in the article -- I merely clarified -- I am puzzled. I did not delete any sentences or sections, and my "addition" was merely a slight clarification. I might point out that it is also the responsiblity of Wiki editors to make themselves entirely clear to contributors in a detailed manner. You have not done so.Lolliapaulina51 (talk) 23:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Personal analysis
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Ward3001 (talk) 02:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Tell me something, Ward: are you claiming that well-educated Wiki participants -- indeed, trained historians -- may not add commentary or, if you prefer to call it that, "personal points of view"? I have many colleagues who have been asked to contribute to encyclopedias. I edited some articles for a major encyclopedia. The reason that such individuals are asked to make contributions is that they are not only trained in historical method, it is thought that their experience and knowledge will be useful. On Wiki, this is not a violation of the "Neutral Point of View" policy; we do, after all, prefer that articles be written and edited by knowledgeable individuals. It is, however, unrealistic and idealistic to expect that when a scholar of history edits an article, no "personal commentary" will be offered, and no one should object to this when it is backed up by a major publication. No one at major academic presses expects this (far from it), so why do you? Wiki articles are filled with such commentary by experts in given fields. If you are not aware of that, I certainly am. I see it every day.Lolliapaulina51 (talk) 23:25, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Princess, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Queen (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.

Advocacy in Nicholas Monsarrat
Hi, Monsarrat is an author famous for his war novel The Cruel Sea.

In 2009, you modified his article, adding: but perhaps best known internationally for his novels, The Tribe That Lost Its Head and its sequel, Richer Than All His Tribe. Monsarrat's more famous novels, notably The Tribe That Lost Its Head (1956) and its sequel Richer Than All His Tribe (1968) "Internationally"? Where?

What is your basis for assigning this degree of importance to these two obscurities?

Perhaps they're brilliant; that does not make them famous, certainly not more famous than a genuinely famous novel.

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 17:11, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
