William Milward (actor)
Your best starting point is likely to be A biographical dictionary of actors, actresses, musicians, dancers, managers and other stage personnel in London, 1660-1800, Volume 10. ISBN 9780809311309. See Help:Sandbox for more on where to put the new article while you're working on it (and apologies for stumbling into it by accident). Good luck. --Old Moonraker (talk) 17:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * As requested. Let me know if it doesn't work. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:50, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Page 260 is not available because this is a preview. That page has much of the information about Milward that I need. Do you know any way of finding a Wikipedian who has a complete copy of this book? Robert 15:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Pity. There are just over three pages with, as you say, most of what you would need. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've just checked the Google Book Search page again: there's a blue link at the top left of the page 260 preview, which gives the whole article. --Old Moonraker (talk) 06:23, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

The Importance of Brevity
Hi. I have moved your guidance essay The Importance of Brevity to the project space at The Importance of Brevity per Wikipedia essays. Regards,  GILO  A& E&uArr;  01:44, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Quite correct; that was my mistake. Robert (talk) 01:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Help readers to find your articles
Hallo, If you create an article like The Last Command (short story), don't forget that you need to make it possible for a reader to find it. In this case it needed an entry on the disambiguation page at The Last Command (which I've now added); sometimes it needs a "hatnote" on an article, if there isnt a disambiguation page; sometimes it's a matter of creating the disambiguation page.

I noticed your essay mentioned above: you might be interested in User:Tony1/Redundancy exercises: removing fluff from your writing. Pam D  10:24, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

your essay
Hi, recently I started a housekeeping proejct looking over essays. Looks like you started one and then abandoned the effort. If so, please consider listing The Importance of Brevity at WP:MFD to help clean up. Or if you want to work on it, maybe look for help at one of the project spaces.

Thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Catalan number. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Deacon Vorbis (talk) 02:03, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

“ despite precedent that Congress constraining the actions of future Congresses by legislation is unconstitutional” is placed so it seems to e in the source, is it? Doug Weller talk 19:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * That edit was also marked as minor ("Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable.") Doesn't seem minor. Novellasyes (talk) 20:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That was a mistake. Most of my edits are typographical so checking that box is almost muscle memory. Robert (talk) 23:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Robert (talk) 00:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle
Hi, I reverted | your edit because I don't believe it is supported by the source. The Guardian article contains no suggestions that the book is "now considered racist", only that it is racist.

Also, your edit was marked as minor. As Help:Minor edit states, "Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word."

- Martey (talk) 18:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding about minor edits.
 * As The Guardian is known for, and established to be, a left-wing newspaper, I think my version is more consistent with NPOV. Robert (talk) 16:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
