Thanks

Dear Colin, I just wanted to thank you for your vote and constructive comments regarding the article IPA2. I wish you success and all the best. -DrMoslehi 22 September 2006, 03:47 (UTC+3:30)

Dear Colin,

I really did not get the impression you had wanted to keep my article and soothe my feeling, etc. I just thanked for the time you spent giving your opinion (to contribute to Wikipedia) and the instructions you gave (to guide others how to contribute). In case of Shashank, I just thanked to be grateful and when I used 'fan-style' I used the exact description. I did not give my opinion on whether showing fan-style support is good or bad (although you might think it as a kind of confirmation which in this case I really did not mean). -DrMoslehi 26 September 2006, 04:08 (UTC+3:30)

Dear Colin,

Many thanks for your prompt reply to my Wikipedia query, made earlier today!

Yours sincerely,

John L Bell

A Freudian typo?

Your post at Wikipedia talk:Your first article is perhaps truer than you intended - you might like to change the part that says "have it present AFD as the norm" -- John of Reading (talk) 19:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Thanks, John of Reading. Corrected. --ColinFine (talk) 23:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar

Thanks Colin, You have been very helpful regarding information about producing new articles, the book is notable, as it was published and there was also a newspaper article about the book back in 2012. The newspaper article was written in an Australian newspaper, explaining about the book. I am the author. My name is Tome EGUMENOSKI. Nice talking to you Colin.

Pinging other editors

Hi Colin. I just spotted this edit, and wondered if you knew that editors only get a notification if you ping them correctly in the same edit that you sign your post? If you subsequently have to correct the username, then you have to re-sign to make the notification work. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:04, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Cordless Larry. I did know that, but I had forgotten about it. --ColinFine (talk) 18:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Just thought I'd check, as lots of people seem to make the mistake of thinking that the notification will work when they don't sign. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:13, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind assistance

Yeah..

Initially i copied some text, but the intention was to to get the main structure of the article only, as i am not familiar with the way to write the article here (i.e.) How to edit the source? How to add the new sections? How to add images to the text? How to give references? But at that time i didn't save till i removed, the things not related to this article "Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan".

Apologies in fact for doing so..

But still i have things to remove or edit there..

So can you help me please..

Or please show me the way to delete this article..

Regards Mzl azakheli (talk) 14:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mzl azakheli, I suggest that the best thing to do is to move the article to Draft:Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan, to get it out of main article space until it is accurate. Then you can work on it at leisure. Shall I move it for you? --ColinFine --ColinFine (talk) 16:24, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your suggestion

Yes, please move it there.. so that I can edit it..

regardsMzl azakheli (talk) 09:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mr. ColinFine, Thanks for moving it to draft.

Can you please tell me; after completion of drafting the article, how will i publish it as an article? RegardsMzl azakheli (talk) 10:03, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(I was already writing this reply when you thanked me) Hello, Mzl azakheli. I have moved it to Draft:Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan. At the moment Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan still exists as a redirect to the Draft: page, but I have requested it be deleted because at present the page is misleading.

When you have got the draft ready for submission, edit it to insert {{subst:submit}} at the top, and presently somebody will be along to review it: if they accept it, they will move it back to mainspace.

Please note the comment David Biddulph made at WP:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 470#Drafted an article & want to edit it but have some issues: because you copied material from another article, our licensing requires that you must attribute it: see copying within Wikipedia. --ColinFine (talk) 10:08, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Acknowledgment

Thank you for your helpful comments abt improving content. I didn't know where to raise the issue - you suggested the article's 'talk' page. Great. I'll do that. I wanted to contact Redune, but couldn't figure out how to add my question to his/her talk page. Getting started editing reuires a lot of figuring things out, but step by step works well for me. Thanks again. Caboc333 (talk) 23:06, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the acknowledgment, Caboc333. For future reference: if you start a new topic on a talk page, please create a new section (there should be a '+' or 'New section' link at the top). I couldn't find what you'd added except by looking at the history of this page. In every page except (infuriatingly) the Teahouse/Questions, new sections go at the bottom.

To talk to Redune, you go to Talk:Redune: until the page exists, that will be red, and will come up with a message inviting you to create it. You can do this (and start by creating a new section). But in this case it is better to discuss it on the article's talk page. It would be a good idea to ping Redune when you do so. --ColinFine (talk) 10:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan

A tag has been placed on Tehreek-e-Dastak Pakistan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 removed 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.

A beer for you!

Thanks for the advice on creating the article. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 10:50, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is more my style, but thanks, AugusteBlanqui!.

--ColinFine (talk) 11:10, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bradford Beck

Colinfine, hello. Thanks for editing Bradford Beck, I must have misread because I thought most of the plaques were installed! However I have amended the citation dates as it does state use DMY format at the top of the article. Thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 07:26, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, The joy of all things. I've also corrected a couple of names on the route diagram (Poplar Road and Westbrook). I have never come across Trap Syke - just where does it join? I know Red Beck through Northcliffe Woods, but it vanishes by Redburn Road, and I can only guess where it might join the Beck. I find that this blog also lists Bolton Beck and Northcliff Dike. I guess Bolton Beck is the one that runs down behind the works in Bolton Hall Road. --ColinFine (talk) 11:14, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly sure where Trap Dike joins as most run into the culverted sections. Lots of the citations mention it. Will have to check the large maps in Bradford library next time I am there.The joy of all things (talk) 11:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thank you for your awesome answer at the Teahouse!
