Wrong Link

Actually the correct link for your explanation of your recent edit to 6.5mm Grendel was in general WP:MOSFLAG or more specifically WP:INFOBOXFLAG instead of WP:INFOBOX which is just a redirect link dumping the reader into the Wikiproject page. Just in case somebody reverts you'll have the info at your fingertips. Trilobitealive (talk) 00:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of John Deere tractors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model A (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.

Kluge House

Hi, I reverted your edit at Kluge House. Your info may be correct, but it is not sourced to the footnotes cited. You will need to add a proper citation to back up your material. Please see WP:CITE, WP:RS, and WP:V for more information. Montanabw 22:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Reviewed the source a bit and found some of the material was there. I moved a few things around to make it flow better. The freemasonry bit I missed as the AF&AE bit didn't register with me as a Masonic term. Rather than use identical sources in each sentence, If you want to better cite the source, put the source at the end and for inline cites use page numbers. 20:54, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.

Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Florence, Missouri, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Jamesallain85

Thank you for creating Robert H. Rice.

User:TheLongTone, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I think you need to add details of the engagement for which he won the Navy Cross.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheLongTone}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

TheLongTone (talk) 13:04, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Loking at the ref, I see he actually won two, which I assume is fairly unusual.TheLongTone (talk) 13:14, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Having read WP:Soldier I see that it is actually necessary for somebody to have won the secong-highest award twice to be notable, so don't be surprised if Willard A. Saunders gets nominated for deletion. Me, I see to many articles on sportpeople who are considered notable to nominate an article about somebody who actually did something of value.TheLongTone (talk) 13:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

User:Jamesallain85 I think Willard A. Saunders is safe because he meets part 2 of WP:Soldier, "Held a rank considered to be a flag, general or air officer, or their historical equivalents"

John Corbus moved to draft space

Your recent article is moved to draft space. Kitaab Ka Kida (talk) 16:48, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• And now moved back. I'm not sure just what inspired this instant draftification, but please use full refs rather than bare URLs and remember to add the "References" section. Thanks. PamD 07:56, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

• But looking at your article creations, I see a pattern. Please stop creating stubs with no References section, bare URLs for references, no categories, no DEFAULTSORT. You are expecting other editors to tidy up after you, but it would take very little more time for you to create much better stubs. PamD 08:44, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Lawrence G. Bernard moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lawrence G. Bernard, 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 Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep 09:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lawrence G. Bernard has been accepted

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Misplaced Pages. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

• If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thank you for helping improve Misplaced Pages!

Ways to improve Frank Dechant Wagner

Hello, Jamesallain85,

Thank you for creating Frank Dechant Wagner.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Frankly what there is is a bit rubbish and would fail RS on the whole.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Slatersteven}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Here is Misplaced Pages's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Misplaced Pages! Please don't make accusations of bad faith without providing diffs showing the actual bad faith edits. Please do not nominate articles for deletion simply to take revenge on other editors for nominating articles of yours. —valereee (talk) 21:46, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Incase you're unaware, WP:DIFF will guide you on how to provide diffs as evidence. If you feel Mztourist is being uncivil, then diffs will be required in order for other editors to determine the merits of your accusations. – .O. 23:19, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
