We noticed though that when you edited Klondike Open, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scott Lee. 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.

Seems these were added by you way back in 2014. Just curious if you can recall what the source of these records was as they do not seem to match the info in the wiki articles on the Grand Slam tournaments Perry played.--Wolbo (talk) 00:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Legobot (talk) 04:25, 21 February 2016 (UTC) Your comments on using Western sourcesWould you really be happy about someone saying Indian sources shouldn't be used for something not Indian? Or a statement that sources by 'black writers' shouldn't be used for something dealing with 'whites'? It's a terrible argument even though I understand where it comes from. In any case you must be aware of the arguments between Indian historians, it's not as though they all agree anyway.

Legobot (talk) 04:28, 22 June 2016 (UTC) Hi, thanks for your addition, but what exactly do you mean by cumulative? Apparently it's not total weeks and also not consecutive weeks (as at least 5 players have more than 178 weeks in the top 2 consecutively, but are not listed in your "cumulative top 2" table). Maybe weeks at #2? That makes sense for Nadal. Gap9551 (talk) 05:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
What the heck was the consecutive weeks at #1 table that was added for a brief while? There are no weekly totals until 1973 so that would have been original research. Everything was done on a yearly basis only until then. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC) Why not in Roger Federer of Rafa Nadal original research? Why only Djokovic? I added ref.

There is nothing for those three under consecutive weeks. I'm wondering how you arrived at those totals, and if simply adding the years up why you wouldn't have added it to the consecutive totals also. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2016 (UTC) wee

Legobot (talk) 04:27, 23 October 2016 (UTC) November 2016Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to The Board of Admiralty. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as
Vice-Admirals of the coastsHello, I don't see how that Navy List of 1814 proves that these are properly titled "Vice-Admirals of the coast of X" rather than "Vice-Admiral of X". They're under a heading that says "Vice-Admirals of the Coast of Great Britain", but that doesn't mean that has to be inserted in their title, any more than the Lord High Admiral is the "Lord High Admiral of the High Court of Admiralty" because under that heading. "Vice-Admiral of X", or more rarely, "Vice-Admiral of the county of X" is overwhelmingly more common, in my experience, and should be the title per WP:COMMONNAME. Furthermore, the responsibilities of the vice-admirals of the coasts seem to have been purely administrative and judicial: they did not have command of a "naval fleet" as the infobox now says, and calling the counties "Naval Districts" stretches the term to the breaking point, IMO. I think it would be better to return to the shorter name and remove the infoboxes, but I wanted to consult with you first before doing anything dramatic. Choess (talk) 14:54, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge inviteHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC) New articleDid you mean to put https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creating_User:Navops47/draft/RN_Stations in your userspace? --Mr. Vernon (talk) 06:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
