Your edits
Hi, thank you for your edits to Wikipedia. Just to let you know, the form is correct. There is not supposed to be a space between the colon and the word after it. Examples include: Manual of Style (rather than Manual of Style) and Template:Spaces (rather than Template: Spaces). Also, you added a space after  in Interstate 470 (Ohio–West Virginia). However the ' ' is a 'non-breaking space', so adding it between e.g. '100' and 'km' prevents an automatic line break betwen them. Regards, J ACKINTHE  B  OX   • TALK 12:34, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Date style
Hi LucasA04, just as a heads-up about your edits to 31st Armoured Brigade: the date format "January 15, 1941" is almost unique to the United States, and since the article is about a British army brigade, there is no reason to change the style from "15 January 1941", which is used in Britain (and most of the English-speaking world), to the American style. The article Date format by country has some more info about this! See also this part of the manual of style. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 16:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I had a hunch that the British had a different format for the dates. Also thank you for linking the MOS article, I will definitely be reading them. LucasA04 (talk) 16:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Why are you nominating your own article for deletion? – bradv  🍁  03:14, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , All of those articles were copied over from the military Wikia, and those articles were created by banned user . I'm pretty sure that there's a policy behind creating articles that is from banned users. LucasA04 (talk) 13:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * They were created by someone on Wikia with the same username as a banned user here - we don't know as a fact that it's the same person. And there is a policy that says we're allowed to delete contributions from banned users without a discussion (see WP:CSD), but that's not the same thing as saying that their articles are not allowed to be imported onto the English Wikipedia, nor does it mean that their articles must be deleted on sight. The only exception would be if Reguyla has contacted you directly and asked you to copy these articles, and you are proxying on his behalf. Otherwise, if someone wants these articles deleted they should be going through the usual deletion process. – bradv  🍁  14:23, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that they are but if you say so, I just didn't want to go against the rules. LucasA04 (talk) 14:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I was already aware of this history when I gave you the initial advice about copying these articles in the IRC help channel. The only other thing which we need to watch for is if they were originally copied from Wikipedia to Wikia without attribution, in which case we would need to merge the history back in. If you see any of those let me know. – bradv  🍁  15:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
