Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Ukexpat and I would like to thank you for your contributions.  ''Click here to reply to this message.''  ukexpat (talk) 18:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

User:Mlane78212/Chateau de la Motte, Joue du Plain,
I saw your questions at WP:RFF. This looks like the beginning of a fine article. I suggest you also look at the structure of established articles about châteaux such as Château de Fontainebleau, Palace of Versailles, Château de Chantilly, etc.

Wikipedia has some "wikiprojects" where people with similar interests help each other. For example, WP:TOURISM would be a good place to ask questions about making articles that also serve as a resource via iPhone.  Sharktopus  talk 23:33, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

"Artistically" photoshopped images
I note you've been adding a large number of "artistically" photoshopped images to articles here. (By this I mean photographs which you've processed with a bitmap graphics editor to add "artistic" filters such as "oil painting" and "posterization".) Could you please replace these images with the original, unprocessed photographs? Images on Wikipedia should be descriptive, not artistic. (Or at least, if the images are artistic, it should not be at the expense of descriptiveness. The image filters you use cause the images to be no longer accurate depictions of their subjects.)

It's also not necessary to include so many photographs in articles; in fact, this actually detracts from the quality of the articles. Please limit your photo contributions to those which provide important and relevant illustrations to the article text. I would suggest removing all but the most salient photographs and then placing at the end of the article a link to a Commons gallery of the rest. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:27, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, will do. -Mlane (talk) 14:34, 22 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I hope I didn't come across as too brusque; I just noticed that you're relatively new here.  The photos you post really are beautiful, and your work is appreciated; it would just be great if we could see the originals, and in moderation! :) —Psychonaut (talk) 17:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

tree alley
Tree avenues or tree alleys are planted trees lining straight roadways and entrance drives in order to enhance the approach to country mansions or homes. Sometimes the avenues are in double rows on each side of a road. Trees preferred for alleys were selected for their height and speed of growth, such as poplar, beech, lime, and horse chestnut.

Sometimes tree avenues were designed to direct the eye toward some distinctive architectural building or feature, such as a chapels, gazebos, or architectural follys.

Hi. In Écouché, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Liberation (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.

 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider


 * On your userpage, create a link with a slash as the first character, like this: /sandbox . Save your userpage.  Click the link, and create THAT page.  You have now just created the page User:Mlane78212/sandbox.  When you are ready to make your draft an article, use the move function to move it to the articlespace.  -- Jayron  32  15:44, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Creating articles
If you are the only contributor to a page then you can choose to copy-paste the contents instead of moving the page. If there are other contributors then moving the page will keep the page history to give them attribution per license requirements. Step 6 in the article wizard has an option to start a userspace draft instead of a mainspace article.
 * You can see more about user subpages at User pages. They can be named anything and you can create multiple subpages. The bottom of your contributions page has a link "Subpages" to show all user subpages: Special:PrefixIndex/User:Mlane78212/. Redirects are in italics so perhaps you already used the draft option in the wizard and later moved to mainspace. The only difference between using the wizard and creating the subpage manually is that the wizard starts the page with a little generic content and some instructions displayed above.

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
