Hello there, I have had a look at your contributions on Houghton and wanted to let you know that you had done a good job and creating and expanding the article although it had a lot of problems with it at the start. I have Wikified the article, gave it a cleanup and rearranged the lead section. In short, I have cleaned it up although there still are some problems left with it. If you are unsure on how to write about a lead section, please refer to WP:LEAD. Also, external links should never have any removed commercial sites per WP:ELNO. This also means that we would need a little proof on the basis of the article per WP:V (in other words, we need inline citations for proof). If in doubt, you can always contact me on my talk page. Thank you! Jaguar (talk) 13:39, 23 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ashley Castle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bailey (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

  Hi Akondofswat! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Airthrey Castle that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

  Thanks for contributing to the article George Cathcart. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 13:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
