The language you're introducing to that article is heavily slanted and, frankly, not supported by the Amazon bookselling links and other references you've introduced. Please try to gain consensus for your edits on the talk page rather than trying to force-feed your version into the encyclopedia. Dppowell (talk) 15:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have put your bit about the pledge at the end of the Activism section, and have formatted the reference properly.--andreasegde (talk) 15:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:450px-HighDefShare 20080107.GIF, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Do you have an article prepared? Justin talk 13:56, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I'm struggling with a 'cite error'. I've put it live now, perhaps someone will help me fix it. Thanks.Bopter (talk) 14:47, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a go. Justin talk 15:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And done, your source appears to have a number of factual errors. Dickson wasn't a military representative, he was given the job of flying the flag. Vernet wasn't banished either, for example Brisbane his deputy returned in March of 1833. Vernet himself left in 1831 before the Lexington raid and it was only in the late 1830s when he made extravagant financial claims to the British Government that he was prevented from returning. The first military representative was actually Lt. Smith in 1834. The original intention was to police the Falklands with an annual visit by a warship and it wasn't till the Gaucho murders was a permanent presence established. Sorry but this is a common problem in Falklands articles where history is corrupted by competing modern claims. I've other reliable sources and will expand the article later. Ciao. Justin talk 15:17, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Justin, this is helpful. I'll also expand outside the initial sources I came across. Bopter (talk) 15:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I reverted you edit because you can't just copy a load of prose from findagrave as you did with Margaret Burke Sheridan. We can't even verify the information, though it may be accurate, because they are not a WP:RS being contributed to by many different individuals without ant oversight. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 19:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thanks. Bopter (talk) 16:03, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Bridie monds-watson 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 person or group of people, 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Eeekster (talk) 21:21, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Solution selling, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SPIN. 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.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Christopher Columbus, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Doug Weller talk 19:21, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Freddie Burns, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Billy Burns. 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.)
