Disambiguation link notification for May 4[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IRSP (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.

Your edit to CSX Transportation[edit]

Hello, Your recent edit to CSX broke a reference, hid several items from the list, and cited a LA Times article wholly unrelated to the incident you were trying to add (the article was about the recent accidental shooting involving Alec Baldwin, not a train accident). As such, I have reverted it. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:46, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for calling your edit "vandalism" in the edit summary. I can see you were adding the item in good faith, but you unintentionally introduced a cite error in the process. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:47, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Trainsandotherthings Thanks for your assistance. I apologise for breaking the reference, I am using an iPad & it looks like I mistakenly just cut part of an existing reference without deliberate vandalism. Hopefully all fixed now. I have added a second reference for clarity. Cheers fir your help, I do struggle on writing as I am a Dyslexic Autistic person. Cheers again. EC.

Disambiguation link notification for October 23[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited CSX Transportation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

July 2022[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to RAF Greenham Common! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 08:59, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Mirror has been accused of tabloid journalism and is a questionable source. See wp:DAILYMIRROR A better source for the article scandal should be added/used. A section header of "Controversies" might be more encyclopedic; that is the section title I usually see for this sort of content. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've just seen your msg. Thank u. I had also used a UK government reference for this matter, in the original post last year. I like your idea of changing the heading ' scandal '. The heading originally came from another WP page edited by others. I'm not sure 'controversies' quiet covers the multiple abuses by various ruling school powers. I'll look at it more when I'm next available. Thank you Eco-climber (talk) 00:24, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
