If I leave a note on your page I am watching there. If you comment here I will reply here.

Thanks!

Thanks for catching that spelling error at Cross Point Lowell. A minor thing but important, and appreciated. Herostratus (talk) 16:39, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, sure. The page is on my watchlist -- I wrote it and am so far practically the only major editor, so it's one of my "babies" and I like to see my babies being taken care of. You won't get a lot of messages for fixing spelling errors, but it's actually kind of important in that spelling errors make the articles look kind of shoddy and I think detracts from their perceived value. So you can be assured that most every spelling fix is seen by multiple people (the people watching the article) and appreciated, even though you won't usually get an actual note. Carry on!

Saint Midabaria

This article has already been (correctly) restored. I deleted it as a CSD G5 article, but your expansion has made it vastly bigger, so it no longer qualifies for speedy deletion. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 14:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Overlinking

Have a read of WP:OVERLINK. One link to a country is more than sufficient - and my personal preference is to have that in the prose as opposed to the infobox. Total removal is also sometimes fine, as the MOS says "In particular, unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, the following are not usually linked [...] the names of major geographic features and locations" which obviously includes countries.

It varies from user to user how they implement it - but as long as they do implement it, that is the main thing. GiantSnowman 12:15, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Notes for myself

freely licenced

image copyright information page

here

Put your image on your desktop or some other convenient place, then choose "Click here to start the upload form." On the next page, fill in all the blanks, upload your file, and then choose "This is a free work." Finally, choose on the succeeding page "This file is entirely my own work," and tell how and why you took the photo. Leave the Creative Commons attribution the way it is. Fill in your real name or your WP name if you want attribution. Don't bother to upload to Commons because it involves an extra step and is not as user-friendly. At the end of all this you will be greeted by a page that actually gives you a model line for you to copy and insert into any WP article, on the edit page. Very simple.

Boodles Boxing Ball

Hello. I've tried to salvage the page. I feel like there may be too many pictures though--we could just keep the three that are at the top, and move the others to a link for Wikimedia Commons, but I'm not sure how to do that. Also they've added unreferenced info, which always infuriates me.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:46, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

The photos are already at Wikimedia Commons. They were loaded there by BoodlesUK. It does make the page look rather like a tabloid or society page with all the photos..And you can either look for a citation for the unreferenced info or remove it as unreferenced...You might be able to find something through google to back it up? Looks much better though :-)--Antiqueight ^confer 19:58, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Please ban Rape is not a crime.

Pleas eban Rape is not a crime user. They are actually this cartoonist who is harassing the article subject off-wiki. --Playabeacha (talk) 00:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Ignore this moron. I read about HiyoHiyo in a newspaper which said he really was Kei Nakashima and a convicted pedophile. --Rape is definitely a crime (talk) 00:56, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
