Editing the O Antiphons article

Thanks for the clean-up and formatting work you did on the O Antiphons article. I am still learning how to post information, and your edits made the article much cleaner and more readable. In these last few days before Christmas, it will be great that people will be able to easily learn just a little bit more about these antiphons. Mfox04 21:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Archiving talkpages

• I noticed that you have blanked your talkpage. Perhaps you may wish to clear out old messages, but it is a better practice to archive it instead. Please do consider this option, and happy editing! :) - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 17:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

caps

It's standard in many bird books, which is why it was agreed for Wikipedia. There are no other agreed groups. in practice, some, like cetaceans, tend to be capped, others, like fish, are always lower case. jimfbleak 06:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I've tidied it a bit now, jimfbleak 18:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Calendar of saints (Church of the Province of Melanesia)

I saw your edits to this article. I think we should be a little cautious about making changes to the titles of feasts - the creator of the article is a priest in the Province of Melanesia, and was undoubtedly working from that church's kalendar. I don't have a copy of their prayer book myself, but I think the article should reflect their titles. -- BPMullins | Talk 18:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

takashi asahina translation

Hi,

i saw your edits on Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd, very nice work. on a side-note, since Japan is an area of your interest, could you consider a translation for the page on Takashi Asahina? There's a dearth of info in the English page, while the japanese one boasts a few pages at least. -- Rctay 15:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the response, i'll look forward to it, :) Rctay 16:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Takatomi Nobunaga

A tag has been placed on Takatomi Nobunaga, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. SingCal 22:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Dennis Townhill

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dennis Townhill, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Dennis Townhill.

Notability of Paul Trepte

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Paul Trepte, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Paul Trepte 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 Paul Trepte, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Denis Bédard

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Denis Bédard, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://members.shaw.ca/cheldar/CheldarEnglish/EngBiography.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:40, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Denis Bédard

A tag has been placed on Denis Bédard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello DTOx! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 964 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Humphrey Clucas - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Niels la Cour - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Kalahari Desert‎ does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 23:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

William Walton

Thank you for your note. I haven't in fact removed your addition, but I have used <! -- --> to make it temporarily invisible to the reader, and left comments on the edit screen. An addition to a featured article (well, to any article, but most of all a featured one) needs to be properly formatted and to conform with Wikipedia's citation policy: "Wikipedia's Verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged". Your view about the popularity of the church music needs a citation: it is not a self-evident truth. Indeed I rather doubt that it is true, but if you find a WP:RS to substantiate it I shall pipe down. I can add a citation for the popularity of BF if you wish, though the peer reviewers and FAC reviewers presumably shared my view that this is an uncontentious statement. Tim riley (talk) 08:13, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Later: I've added a citation for BF, to be on the safe side. Tim riley (talk) 14:10, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Quinquagesima

No churches use the name, you say. What about history (BWV 22 and others)? What about consistency with Sexagesima? You could have asked before the move, no? - I suggest you move it back and start a formal move request. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:52, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

I couldn't be bothered to enter into all the Wikipedia politics, so I thought I'd just move it and see what happened. Move it back if you like. I thought that "Sunday before Lent" was a more appropriate name for the page because (a) no churches currently use the name "Quinquagesima", and (b) there's a lot more in the "Dates and significance" section about the "Sunday before Lent" than specifically about "Quinquagesima". (Even before I added the RCL and CofE sections there was more about modern Roman and Eastern practice than there was about traditional Roman practice.) The page seemed already to be about the Sunday before Lent rather than Quinquagesima. DTOx (talk) 20:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
