Ways to improve Conejo Canyons Open Space
Hi, I'm Garagepunk66. TOLocal, thanks for creating Conejo Canyons Open Space!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I enjoyed reading

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Garagepunk66 (talk) 03:39, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Also one should remember that it is quality, not quantity when adding new articles to Wikipedia. I recommend reading Places of local interest, Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 19:16, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Bare URLs
Hello TOLocal, I noticed that used bare URLs. The time and effort to read and implement Bare URLs is well worth it. Bare URLs are subject to link rot. The usability of a bare URL depends entirely on the target WWW site retaining its chosen site structure, which it is under no obligation to do. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 04:54, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Newbury Park, California edits
Hello TOLocal, Your recent contribution to Newbury Park, California has been undone by another editor who comment it was unencyclopedic. In your edit summary you seemed open to comments so I thought I might encourage you by providing more information regarding the style on Wikipedia. It is very important to understand that it is not a travel quide or a brochure that might be put out by the Chamber of Commerce. That kind of the information is available elsewhere and it is improper to repeat it here. There is a good article on writing better articles; the portion on the tone of the article might especially help you understand why the editor deleted your contribution.

Speedy deletion nomination of Reba Hays Jeffries


A tag has been placed on Reba Hays Jeffries 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 a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Atlantic306 (talk) 22:08, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Big Bear City, California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Black bears ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Big_Bear_City%2C_California check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Big_Bear_City%2C_California?client=notify 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.

Couple of quick tips

 * Hello, and thanks for your efforts in adding valuable info to our articles. I had to go behind you a couple of times, when your edits showed up in articles that are on my "wacthlist". I certainly don't have the time to give you all the English lessons it would take to bring your grammar skills up to encyclopedic level, however, here are just a couple of improvements you can make easily: You have a habit of using the word "was" incorrectly. Think of it as: "I was", and "they were". When speaking of others, always use "were", as in your many sentences incorrectly written like: "The Serrano people was here 2,000 years ago". Should have said: The Serrano people were here 2,000 years ago. Also, proof read your paragraphs before saving them, to see if you have said the same thing twice in the same sentence. Also, you have a habit of saying "here", as if the town your are writing about is the wiki page you are writing on. Example: "The native Americans "here" have red feathers. That is incorrect. It should say: The native Americans in Palm Springs have red feathers. I hope this helps you a bit in your editing my friend. Thanks for your contributions. → Pocketthis (talk) 17:40, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
