Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! I notice you seem to be going through adding "See also" links to David Ferguson in articles that don't appear to mention him. I think this is a confusing way to do it. Instead, why don't you try to work with the editors of those articles to see if there is relevant and notable information that can be worked into the body of the article? I think that would be more useful, as right now the links just seem a little odd. I may go through soon and take the links out; please don't be offended! I just think the way it is now is a little confusing.

Anyway, please look around and read about notability and other policies. I'm a new editor myself, so if you have any questions you might want to find someone more experienced to ask. Good luck! FCSundae (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi FCSundae,

I'm not sure this is the way to write back. I appreciate your kindness! I felt a bit weird in some of the adding work too. I was trying to add reference to some other pages but didn't realize how I should go about the contents. One question - since Wiki is free editing, shouldn't I just write some things myself to fit David in those pages? (I'm still trying to learn how to find the editors too) Another is just out of curiosity; how did you know what editing I was doing?

Hi Melrosechoc

I too spotted your edits, and in fact reverted one of them (to The Offs). I did this because I couldn't see how the link you added was connected to the article; however, looking harder at what you were doing, I do appreciate that this was good faith editing. Apologies, and feel free to re-add info if you feel it is relevant. You're right though - it would be better to incorporate a brief mention of David Ferguson into the text of the article(s) in question, indicating how he is relevant to them, rather than just putting a "see also" link at the bottom. You're quite entitled to do this, just as much as any other Wikipedia editor. I'll insert a "welcome" template below which contains a number of useful links to help you find your way around the editing process.

You asked about how FCSundae spotted your edits. S/He probably did so the same way I did - by watching the "recent changes" page, which shows every edit to Wikipedia as it is made, along with its edit summary. To have a look, go to the second box down in the left-hand margin of this page, and click on "Recent changes".

Good luck with your editing! -- Ka renjc 09:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Melrosechoc, Yes, this is a fine way to write back! Yeah, I spotted you in recent changes, which is where I mostly hang out here. Usually I just revert vandalism — you'd be amazed how much Wikipedia gets vandalized every minute. It was nice to see a new editor jumping right in to make things better by helping out an orphaned page! You're right, you can just add the information to the other articles yourself. I just suggested talking to the other people who've edited them (on the articles' talkpages would be a good place) so they can see what you're trying to do and maybe help you find a good way to work in the information. But it's up to you! Anyway, good luck, FCSundae (talk) 17:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Melrosechoc,

I have been adding the legal history section to the article. I have had a Third Party opinion and have made the appropriate suggestions. I would like your feedback as to why you have removed it

You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Suspected sock puppets/DrJamesX. Thank you. Uwishiwazjohng (talk) 06:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
