I noticed your article while patrolling new pages. You may want to look at the Did You Know feature of wikipedia. Your article is long enough and new enough and you have cited references. If you can think of a good 'hook' your article could get linked on the wikipedia main page for a few hours. Cheers!--Captain-tucker (talk) 21:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Meeting in Bristol this weekend
Hi this is Steve Virgin from the Board of Wikimedia UK

I am a fellow Bristolian

We have a Wikimedia Conference in town this weekend

We were getting some of the Bristol Project Wikipedians together at the Watershed on Saturday night for a Wiki Meet at around 6.30pm.

This is a good opportunity to meet people from the national Chapter, other Chapters from around the world and from the Wikimedia Foundation. There is a bar tab to help proceedings and we would be very keen to see you there.

RSVP - let me know if you are able to come and feel free to invite any other local Wikipedians in Bristol —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve virgin (talk • contribs) 21:24, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Bristol Shipyards - Baylie.PNG
Thanks for uploading File:Bristol Shipyards - Baylie.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

A couple of pointers
Nice work on the Bristol shipbuilders. I thought you might appreciate a couple of pointers. The manual of style for numbers states that numbers should be separated from units of measure using a non-breaking space - e.g. by typing 5&amp;nbsp;tonnes. Also, units of measure should be converted - the convert template is ideal for this. In both cases take a look at the way I have adjusted the articles that you have written. Finally, it is not necessary to wikilink countries - this is considered overlinking. Any questions just ask. --Simple Bob (talk) 21:29, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bristol Classic Boat Company


A tag has been placed on Bristol Classic Boat Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. DGaw (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Bristol Classic Boat Company
Hello, Robinboulby, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Articles for deletion/Bristol Classic Boat Company whether the article Bristol Classic Boat Company should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Bristol Classic Boat Company, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! DGaw (talk) 04:43, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Scott Shipbuilders, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Baltic, Avon River and Merchantman (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.

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Chester Park, Bristol.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

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.

Disambiguation link notification for November 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited HMS Liffey (1856), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page River Derwent. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
