[edit] Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 48% for major edits and 17% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 12:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Cabane de Bertol.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Cabane de Bertol.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] References
I said it at User talk:Martin Cordon and I'll repeat it here, because I want editors with pet projects to avoid encountering AFD, and there's a way to do that, which is especially important when creating articles on companies, given the recent increase in attention to company articles. If when creating new articles you ensure that from the first edit onwards you cite sources, either as references for the existing text or as further reading (and thus potential sources for expansion), you won't have much trouble with people nominating your articles for deletion. Articles, even stubs, that cite multiple in-depth sources are rarely even nominated for deletion, let alone deleted. Editors with pet subjects, from canal tunnels to traffic circles, in the main only encounter trouble with deletion nominations if they don't cite sources. Uncle G 11:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Butterley Tunnel
Dear Jschwa1
Thank you for your additions to the Butterley Tunnel page. There is a diagram included in the book "The Cromford Canal" by Hugh Potter which shows the base of a shaft at the underground wharf labeled as "shaft under blast receiver". I have added this book to the "further reading" section so I think we are covered for citation on your 1980's observation. I personally have re-visited the underground wharf described in Robin Witters 1979 survey. I have repeated and extended his survey adding photographs of those parts he did not visit. This includes photographs of the branch tunnel leading to the base of the blast receiver shaft.
I see from the above comment from Uncle G that my name has been taken as an example of how not to start your first article. Perhaps he is right. Do you have an article in danger from AfD. Perhaps I can return the compliment and help you out.
Yours Faithfully Martin Cordon Martin Cordon 12:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 20:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Think Floyd
I have nominated Think Floyd, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Think Floyd. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. —BradV 15:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
