User talk:T A Francis

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Common Era. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Your additions appear to be your own opinions, not necessarily what the sources say. Sunray (talk) 17:46, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I sm flattered that you think I had added 'original research' on the topic of BC/BCE. The additions I made are facts, not opinions.

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

You recently left this message on my talk page. It was an annoying message and didn't make sense to me so I undid it. You re-inserted it, so I undid it again. Looking over your talk page, I realize that it relates to a message I left you in 2011 about the Common Era article. It is rather a long time ago, but I see that you disagree with my message to you then. I'm not sure whether you have familiarized yourself with Wikipedia policies, but to put it simply, editor's opinions (or original research) are not useful in an encyclopedia. That was the policy then and it remains in place today.

We welcome all those who wish to edit here, but we do ask that you follow a few simple policies and guidelines. These were listed in the welcome by Dougweller on this page. If you would like to discuss this further in a civil manner, please contact me on my talk page. Sunray (talk) 08:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eugène Ricklin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dannemarie. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service
Hi T A Francis! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over a year.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in two years or more.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:


 * 1) Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
 * 2) Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
 * 3) Paste  underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
 * 4) Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you!
