Ways to improve Trouble at Totleigh Towers[edit]

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Miles26, thanks for creating Trouble at Totleigh Towers!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged as needing more reliable sources; imdb is specifically banned at WP:RS.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Boleyn (talk) 14:19, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will look for a better source.

Glossop at Drones[edit]

I recall reading some Wodehouse story or other many years ago where some character or other was mentioned as having done something or other with Sir Roderick Glossop at the Drones Club...but all I recall is that it was not a Blandings story.Sorry...12.144.5.2 (talk) 01:39, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No need to be sorry. I've looked through the various Wodehouse reference books that I own (Who's Who in Wodehouse, for example) and none of them say that Sir Roderick is a Drones Club member, but they do mention that he is a member of the Demosthenes Club, which is located across the street from the Drones, so maybe that's what you're thinking of.

File:Please, Jeeves volume 1 cover.jpg[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:49, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do I introduce myself?[edit]

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and I notice you are an established editor. Is there a place on Wikipedia for new editors to introduce themselves? Thank you. --Wajilsobme (talk) 19:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wajilsobme: Editors generally introduce themselves on their own user pages. I'm not aware of any other place for introducing yourself, but I recommend going to Wikipedia:Teahouse if you have questions about Wikipedia. There are plenty of helpful editors there who are more knowledgeable about the site than I am. Welcome to Wikipedia! Miles26 (talk) 20:49, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
