Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited L'Aigle Creek (Saline River of the Ouachita River), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moreau (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.

Changes to Business cycle

Hi, James. I stumbled across your recent addition to the Business cycle article, and noticed that it was out of place within the article. Because the yield curve explanation of the business cycle is just one theory among many, I moved it into the Explanations section. I also took the opportunity to break up a couple of run-on sentences, and to fix a spelling typo. On the whole I think it makes a good contribution to the article. Thanks for your work. —Aetheling (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Thank you for using VisualEditor and sharing your ideas with the developers.

Hello, Copeland.James.H,

The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you may have tried to use VisualEditor before. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work well for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too. 

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

model years vs calendar years

Thank you for your edit at Toyota GR engine#2GR-FKS. However, please note that the engine article quite clearly labels vehicle applications by calendar years, not model years. Model years is a very US specific thing that is utterly confusing to non-Americans. Since Wikipedia is an international encyclopaedia, we try to avoid systems such as model years that are not understood by a large proportion of our readers. Also, Wikipedia cannot be its own reference. References must be to sources outside of Wikipedia. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  00:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Polyalkylene glycols, from its old location at User:McKnight Buchanan/Polyalkylene glycols. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 01:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Polyalkylene glycols (August 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
This submission appears to be taken from https://www3.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/vgp_environmentally_acceptable_lubricants.pdf. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.
You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work. Dan arndt (talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, McKnight Buchanan! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello McKnight Buchanan, I wanted to let you know that I've reverted the decline of your draft because you are correct in that unless otherwise noted, works produced by the US federal government are public domain. However, as it stands, your article may still not be ready for acceptance. Please incorporate other source information more smoothly into the article, and please review other chemical lubricant articles on Wikipedia for ideas as to how to make it more readily acceptable. You can visit the IRC help channel again at #wikipedia-en-help connect if you have more questions, and please wait longer for a helper to assist you. Helpers are all volunteers and help as they are able, so are not always instantly available to assist. Best wishes to you. Waggie (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Vietnam War into Bay of Pigs Invasion. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per your edits today to Arkansas (here) and Timeline of Little Rock, Arkansas ([1]), I do not think you quite have the hang of this yet. All information on Wikipedia has to be CITED to WP:RELIABLE sources. When you copy information from other articles, you must also copy the citations so that the information can be VERIFIED by readers and other editors. And as explained to you above, several other steps must also be taken when copying from other articles, such as leaving a note at the article copied froms talk page, and an explanatory note left in the edit summary. Please take the time to learn how to do this correctly before attempting it again. Heiro 00:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your separate section on bicycle mudguards/fenders, since they are already mentioned near the start of the 'Accessories' section. which you must know because you edited that sentence. Murray Langton (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
