Rinovia Steam Fishing Company Ltd.
Hi Younsmere. If you have access to the relevant information, it would be good if you developed Rinovia Steam Fishing Company Ltd. more. It has the potential to be quite an interesting historical article, but it need much more fleshing out. --Geronimo20 (talk) 09:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Bristol meetup
Hi Younsmere. I'm from Wikimedia UK - the local chapter representing Wikimedia here in Britain. Just wanted to let you know that we are hosting a conference in Bristol this weekend - more details here.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:45, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Brenda Fisher
Your red-link to Fisher in Grimsby was rightly removed. I have now added Fisher back with a new article for her. Acabashi (talk) 18:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bewys Cross, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page River Avon (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.

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Monmouth Railway, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Devon Railway ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Monmouth_Railway check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Monmouth_Railway?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.)

Goram and Vincent
Thank you for the excellent Goram and Vincent article! I saw a discussion on the talk page questioning the early sources that you'd found, and started to look into it, but had a few questions: The third early source you mention (Atkyns' history of Gloucestershire) does contain the story, so I've added this (and William Worcester's mention of the Giant Ghyst) to the article, but without definite sources for Camden and Chatterton, these might have to be removed, which would be a great shame! Any help you can give would be much appreciated. -- Yodin T 12:20, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You mentioned that the story was found in Camden's Britannia, but the only mention I could find was his description of St. Vincent's Rock, but not the story associated with it.
 * You also mentioned a poem by Chatterton, based on Camden's version, citing Bristol Archives Harford 28048. This is a vast collection, and the catalogue doesn't seem to record any mentions of Chatterton, Vincent, Goram, Ghyston, etc. within it. Is there any chance you remember which sub-item contains/mentions the poem? And was it a published poem, or unpublished? I can't find mentions of Vincent, Goram, Ghyston, etc. in the collected works of Chatterton/Rowley.
