While editing, please remember:

Be Bold, but not reckless in updating pages
No personal attacks: be upset with the contributions, not the contributor

You should introduce yourself here at the new user log. I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name, the date, and the time.

For your first edits, I suggest searching for articles that you think might interest you. You could also be audacious and try a random page.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome and happy editing! Cbrown1023 16:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Loose Stream articles

You have created several articles whise text is simply, "See Loose Stream, Kent". You can make these automatically redirect to that article by using the following:

#REDIRECT[[Loose Stream, Kent]]

Please edit your previous articles to this form. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better Way

You should consider using Wikipedia:Redirect instead of "see also" it's the accepted way of doing what you seem to be attempting. If you need help, let me know.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 07:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

You have created several articles that just contain
See Loose Stream, Kent
like Great Ivy Mill.
Please use redirects instead in the future. --Mdebets (talk) 07:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Light rail, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Comments like those that you left on the light rail article should be discussed on the article's talk page. Generally, we try to avoid self references within the article texts. You may find the talk page guidelines useful for further information. Thanks. Slambo (Speak) 16:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:DSC00720 edited-1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DSC00720 edited-1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Britannia watermark.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Britannia watermark.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for contributing to the article Arjowiggins. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 16:39, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dormskirk. Thanks for your message. I am confused because I recall my edit but it could be two things 1) That Arjo Wiggins have gone into administration. This on record at Companies House and there is no need to cite that - or if there is, you could look it up and add yourself. 2) I added the note that Chatham Mill made tracing paper (aka translucent). That's because it was its primary product for which it was world famous. You could previously have referred to http://www.arjowiggins-tracingpapers.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi but this link no longer works - presumably because they are in admin. papermaker (talk) 17:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry there are a couple of typos in this. I should have written that I cannot recall my edit. Further down I meant Chartham Mill made tracing paper.

In any event please reply. papermaker (talk) 17:18, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
