Your glorious message is written belowRecent moveHi. Regarding your recent disambiguation of Charles Frost - first, it's common to disambiguate by brief descriptor rather than lifespan, so Charles Frost (politician) rather than Charles Frost (1882-1964). Secondly, it is your responsibility as the mover to fix the incoming links to the disambiguation page, which can be found under "What links here" on the left-hand toolbar. Generally, no articles should link to disambiguation pages. Thanks! Frickeg (talk) 20:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 1Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC) October 2012 Your recent editing history at Alfred Watkins shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

GB RailwaysPlease dont't: Create links like this: [[First Hull Trains|Hull Trains]], or create references like this : <ref>http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/site/about_us/our_company.jsp Great Southern Rail company history</ref> See Wikipedia:Piped link, and Wikipedia:Bare URLs also not Create links like this: [[Hull Paragon Interchange|Hull]] - this is called an easter egg link and should be avoided - see Wikipedia:Easter_egg#EGG - I would have thought it better to have the link referring to the page's actual name, although obviously it does link Also avoid removing information from the body of the article and only have it present in the - see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section - the obscure official name of a company is not really a topic for the lead. - pretty standard on every other Train Operating Company page As please try to get your facts right - GB railways - did not launch First Hull Trains in 2000 because it was not called that then - First Hull Trains did not come into existance until later - anachronism - aware of that I even inserted the month in 2008. This link http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/site/about_us/our_company.jsp you added to "In the financial year to April 1999 the company made a profit of £1.2million on a turnoved of £87.2 million, the following year it recorded loss of £0.7million on a turnover of £86.9million. In October 1999 GB Railways sold its 19.7% share in Great Southern Railway to Serco resulting in a on-off profit of £1.4 million." confirms nothing of the previous sentence - it simply isn't helpful -see Template:failed verification - confirms the month
Also there is no such company as Hull Trains Ltd the 7 year "Anglia" franchise has always been Anglia Railways, back from 1995, can't see the need for inverted commas D47817 (talk) 04:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

It has lead to another e-mail the text of which I thought you might find interesting. Dear David, Thank you for sending me the snippet about the Welwick gravel line. I knew about it, and have the following information to add to the PDF you sent me. The landowner is very interested in the history of the line. He has a length of the rail in one of his barns. He took Mary and I down to look at the remains of concrete bunker where the gravel was graded. I have pictures of these remains. The line closed as a result of the East Coast Floods of January / February 1953, which overwhelmed everything at the Humber bank workings. According to one local source, the locos were dumped at the main road end of the line, next to the approaches to Haverfield Farm, until the late 1950s. All the sand and gravel went out by lorry from a loading stage next to the Patrington to Easington road. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes

it doesn't pay not to be sympathetic...now don't get me wrong, i'm sure you're a good person as well as a pretty good wikipedia editor - but why is it that almost every time someone makes a decent looking edit (ie it doesn't contain spam or anything like that, and appears to have been made with the best of intentions) you don't like, you revert that edit completely and tell the person who made it to read this editing rule and that editing rule - and do so in the manner of, with all due respect, a disapproving parent or school teacher? surely you realize that is not the right way of going about things? more often than not it makes the person feel like they're being ordered about, being told what to do - and as a consequence, they react in a hostile manner, like re-reverting their edits and flinging the odd unsavory word. i strongly doubt you would like that. therefore, if you see such an edit, why don't you be just that bit more sympathetic and persuasive? discuss this edit with the person who made it, suggest any compromises for this edit, and if you think they should read an editing rule, then recommend it to them, rather than order them to read it. that way, edit wars and insults are much less likely, and everyone should be satisfied. just my two cents. 96.228.117.93 (talk) 02:03, 17 November 2012 (UTC) OR21Can you get this image moved to English Wikipedia or wikimedia commons http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:Parovoz_OR21.jpg I would like to include it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_steam_locomotive_classes#Locomotives_built_after_1925 Thanks in advance have you turned your back on wikipedia?i can't help but notice that you've only made two edits since last october, and both of those came in december. you haven't been blocked from editing - so have you just decided to give up wikipedia altogether? 71.164.65.30 (talk) 14:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC) Proposed renaming of High-speed train categoriesPlease see my proposal to speedily rename Category:Named passenger rail services in France to *Category:Named passenger rail services of France Hugo999 (talk) 11:17, 7 July 2014 (UTC) Notice
