July 2012[edit]
In a recent edit to the page The BFG, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 18:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
The article S.M. Street has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The notability of the street cannot be ascertained.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Beatrix Bloxam[edit]
I see that you added Beatrix Bloxam to the List of Harry Potter characters and she was removed for not being notable. Therefore, you retrieved her individual article. I do not know if you are familiar with Wikipedia's policy on Wikipedia:Notability and also with the Harry Potter series. Only those characters who have managed to prove notability outside the Harry Potter series have their own articles. Lots of major characters within the series such as McGonagall, Ginny, Neville, Sirius Black, Lupin, etc. did not manage to prove such notability by receiving deep coverage by reliable secondary sources, independent of the primary sources (Rowling's books and the films), as well as having impact in popular culture. Only those characters like the trio, Voldemort, Dumbledore or Snape who have managed to prove notability retained individual articles. Beatrix Bloxam is extremely minor in the series, that is why she was removed from the list of characters (not by me), and certainly does not deserve her own article. There was a long discussion in the WikiProject HP regarding the notability of characters and other in-universe topics. Please, refrain from adding articles on minor characters, we have the Harry Potter Wikia for that. --LoЯd ۞pεth 07:26, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 8[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Phantom Tollbooth, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Discord and Census taker (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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:22, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Google Code In[edit]
Welcome to the Google Code In!
I see that you've been an editor for a while, and you already have a user page and a sandbox, so I can check those off for you. Your new module sandbox looks fine, so I'll mark your task as completed successfully. Hopefully, you'll want to take the other two "Introduction to Lua" tasks, and move on to more complicated Lua programming if you decide you like it. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 21:50, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! Yeah, I think you're only supposed to do two beginner tasks, so I've done the second Introduction to Lua task in my sandbox without claiming it, and I'll then do the third task. I'd been avoiding Lua for a long time, and looking at it now, it seems much easier than I'd thought. :) —C. F. 07:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
- You're welcome! That's my fault – it hadn't occurred to me that you were limited in the beginner tasks, so I've now reclassifed tasks 2 and 3 as "not beginner" to avoid that problem. They really represent a continuum of progress, so marking just the first one "beginner" should still serve the purpose. Feel free to claim task 2 now, and I'll write up some more extension tasks soon. Lua is a powerful language for something so lightweight that it can be embedded inside other software (look at World of Warcraft for an example). I hope you'll persevere with it. --RexxS (talk) 13:19, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oh yes, I just checked and it's available, so I've claimed it. My programming background is limited to some pretty basic C++ (and even lesser C), but even then, Lua seems really easy, and I want to get some more programming experience, so I'm sticking with it. Thanks :) —C. F. 14:09, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
