Records in swimming[edit]

Hi, I see you are currently making edits to some of the Category:Swimming records articles. I have started a little project to standardise the layout and contents of these articles. See here: User:Yboy83/Records in swimming project, for information, and leave your thoughts/ideas here: User:Yboy83/Records in swimming project/Discussion.

March 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Template:Swimmingrecordrelay. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Ciao![edit]

Thanks for help at Alessia Filippi. Just two little format notes: don't use boldface in inline text (check how I tried to solve your change) and use date format without the cardinal (say, 25 April instead of April 25th). Ciao and good work! --'''Attilios''' (talk) 10:49, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aschwin Wildeboer Faber[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Aschwin Wildeboer Faber, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Aschwin Wildeboer. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cut and paste move of Aschwin Wildeboer[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Aschwin Wildeboer a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Aschwin Wildeboer Faber. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Dropday! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 906 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
