Hi Ketiltrout. I'd like to ask you not to include error measurements after the star distances when it it already covered by the parallax error. This messes up the formating and I don't believe the parallax error directly translates into a distance error. (For example, 100 ± 10 mas (10 parsecs) is the same as .090&ndas;.110", which is 11.11–9.09 (or 10+1.11 to 10-0.91) not 10 ± 1.) Thank you!!! — RJH 20:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for correcting my article! Just a question: in this sentence In 1962, a hundred pictures of Fiume's toured through several German museums, including those of Cologne and Regensburg., I think that the 's should be omitted, shouldn't it? I would say a hundred Fiume's pictures toured.... Where do you come from? -- Daĉjo почта 19:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I'm concerned to see you've recently created five new categories for geography stubs of countries in Central Asia. New stub categories are only created when they are viable for use by editor - which by long-standing convention is when there are 60-65 stubs which can use the new category. They are then proposed at WP:WSS/P, as stated at WP:STUB and at the top of almost all stub categories. The goegraphy stubs for individual nations are tallied every two to three weeks to check when new categories reach that level. None of the ones you created yet do, and two of them are severely undersized. All five of these new categories are now listed at WP:WSS/D, and it is likely that a couple of them may be proposed for deletion unless they quickly reach the standard threshold for stub categories. In the case of Category:Kyrgyzstan geography stubs, this is a re-creation of a category that was only recently deleted after vote at WP:SFD. Please, in future, do not create new stub templates or categories without first going through the normal proposal process. Grutness... wha? 01:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, when you want to link to the article about something 3D, please do not link to 3-D, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to).

In re: Bank of Portugal et al: In looking over my watchlist, I am pleased by your interest in corporate nomenclature and English translations of bank names, and I hope you are aware that in some cases there are name overlaps between the English versions of a company name and an extant company that could lead to a re-move; just in case it comes up in the future. Although the English names are nice, there do exist cases in which the original name is selected over a translation to avoid confusion. (I am not checking any of these moves, and I am definitely not aware of any such name confusion in these articles at this time.) Cheers. -- McTrixie/ Mr Accountable 13:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ketiltrout, I've noticed that you've went through all the "Central banks" redlinks in Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_Economics and started stubs. Although your efforts are commendable, "The Central Bank of X is the central bank of X" blurb is not useful at all. Do you plan on expanding these articles? If not, I either have to request speedy deletion so the request links stay red, or tag them with {{ expand}} so that somebody will start working on them. -- Emana 20:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
As an editor who has been so keen to improve the list, guess you'd perhaps be interested to take a look at user:Huaiwei's recent edits. :-) He insisted the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Monetary Authority of Macao to be listed under the People's Bank of China, and insisted to spell Macao in Monetary Authority of Macao different from its official name as according to the official website. — Insta ntnood 18:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Ketiltrout, mah man!
Thank you for your assistance in plugging in national roundels! I have been trying to follow a policy of using military insignia for military crashes, and national flagicons for civilian crashes - though c.n. 3118, a military Herc flown by an Air America crew (10 April 1970) was a toss-up... I opted for the flag as it was a civilian flight crew.
I hadn't been able to figure out how the describe the roundel svg. image for smaller air arms. I surely do appreciate your help!

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. - Trevor MacInnis ( Contribs) 20:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

An editor has nominated Blaine High School (Minnesota), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blaine High School (Minnesota) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Hello Ketiltrout. I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for being thorough in fixing the links for the cast of this fine film. Not every editor realizes that new pages will effect other items in wikipedia. When I was watching this in the theatre a few years ago it dawned on me that Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins had acted together in a film early in both of their careers. It is The Long Good Friday. Now you probably were already aware of this but, as several friends that have watched these two together have thanked me for recommending them, I thought I would pass the info along just in case. Thanks again and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 21:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Uzel (disambiguation), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that
administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{

to the page and state your intention on the article's
talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.—Preceding

Hi Ketiltrout!
Thanks for your edits to Wikipedia. Please make sure that when you merge articles or disambiguation pages together that you are actually merging content from both pages. Here you "merged" Dumont and DuMont by blanking and redirecting DuMont to Dumont without adding the content at DuMont to Dumont. You changed a single word at Dumont without incorporating anything from DuMont into Dumont. That's not a merger of content. The content that was in DuMont but not included in Dumont was effectively edited out of the encyclopedia when you did that. I have since added the remaining content from DuMont into Dumont. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice work on the map/template for Yonge-University-Spadina (TTC) subway line. I was also working on this but I felt that the linear layout did not properly show the U shape of the line. I recently found a template that that lets you put text on both sides and therefore place the east and west stations geographically across from each other. If you think this is a better depiction of the line you may take the code and update it with the additional information you have. What I noticed is that your attempt to show the crossovers and interchanges for St. George and Bay stations which are NOT used in the operation of the trains confuses the route of the subway train. Perhaps we could work on an additional diagram to show these tracks and Lower Bay Station, to be placed beside the sections of Bay (TTC), Museum (TTC) and St. George (TTC) stations that refer to this.

an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Serif Systems, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Serif Systems seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting

In instances where there is one major usage of a name and several smaller ones it is conventional to leave the major one in the namespace and have a link in the top to the others (or to Inaccessible Island (disambiguation). Surely 99.9% of people interested in Inaccessible Island are going to be looking for the main one, so wouldn't it have made more sense to have left it there rather than making it a redirect?

Just curious... it seems that you are moving pages like Harold Elliott (football coach) to Harold Elliott, and have done that to many, many pages. Since these pages are a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject College football, we've put together many pages on small college football coaches specifically with the tag "(football coach)" to prevent confusion of other people with the same name. Anyway, if this is you or one of your bots doing this, for now please stop and if you want to continue please go to the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football about the topic.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 14:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:19, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on John Street (Toronto), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, 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.

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, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. 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) 20:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for all your hatnotes, redirects and disambiguation work on the racehorse articles. I'll try to watch out for things like this when I'm creating new articles in future and hopefully save you some trouble. Tigerboy1966 ( talk) 02:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Hi. When you recently edited Walker Bay (Livingston Island), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Powell ( 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.

Hi Ketiltrout. About the Development environment page, you recommended the "Move" tab. After moving the content page, i modified the Development environment page to get a disambiguation page. I think that using the "Move" tab doesn't work: if i execute the "Move" tab and try to write the disambiguation page under the title "Development environment", the automatic redirection will edit the "Development environment (software development process)" page. What is the right way ? — Chr.aubree ( talk) 22:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
