Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Pahazzard (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you.Pahazzard (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Fred Hammill[edit]
I have started to edit the Fred Hammill article. Happy to collaborate further on this (I have edited in the past about John Burns, Will Crooks, Woolwich, Fabians, etc). Regards. Paul W (talk) 21:01, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello[edit]
Hi CityTony, I saw the message on your userpage and I wanted to reassure you that "the wrath of other editors" is not something you need to worry about here. It can be daunting creating your first article - I will certainly never forget my first time! The tags I added to Fred Hammill were part of a process that's used to help improve new articles, and it has already prompted others knowledgable in the field to help with this. One of the mantras of Wikipedia is Be bold!, and whilst things may not be right first time, editing is easy and most things can be fixed. All the best and happy editing Pahazzard (talk) 22:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Adopt-a-user[edit]
Hello. This is a courtesy note to inform you that I have removed the "adopt me" template from your User page. You have not been active on Wikipedia for a considerable time. Its presence misleads others into thinking that you are still seeking to be adopted and to be guided by another editor under the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user scheme. Obviously, you are free to reinsert it if you return to active editing and want to seek adoption again. (Just 'undo' my edit in the history of your user page to put it back). For simple questions about editing, just ask any of us at The Teahouse. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 04:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Morton (UK comedian)[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Richard Morton (UK comedian) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.comedycv.co.uk/richardmorton/index.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "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 deleted 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. signed, Rosguill talk 21:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Richard Morton (UK comedian) moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, Richard Morton (UK comedian), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your page to draft space (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can work on it with minimal disruption. When you feel that it meets our notability and neutrality requirements, and is thus ready for mainspace, please submit it using the Articles for Creation template on the page.

British Council of Organisations of Disabled People[edit]
Thanks for this article; the more (about Disability) the merrier! You will see on this page that I have added a tag to the references section. What the purpose is, is to get you to link to what we call secondary sources - where other organisations or media refer to the British Council of Organisations of Disabled People, like here, here, and here. Cherrypick a few substantial references, add them to that page, and you're on your way. -- Whiteguru (talk) 05:00, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Richard Morton (UK comedian)[edit]
Hello, CityTony. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Richard Morton".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Disambiguation link notification for January 11[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hulme Hippodrome, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Don Ross. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Stop marking all of your edits as minor[edit]
"Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Read Help:Minor edit for more information. Sundayclose (talk) 14:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Poster/timeline on DAN article[edit]
Hi I removed the link to the DAN timeline you added to the DAN article- It's not apropreate to just directly link these things like this. (and self promotion is strongly discouraged, assuming it was you who wrote it, given the matching first name.) I've used it as a source however, when clearing up the article so it improves readability. I'd love your expertise in extending the citations in the article if you're up for it?
