Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, MKFI! I am LouriePieterse and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Wings (1996 video game)

Hi MKFI, regarding the references you added to this article, could you describe the extent of the coverage? Is it a full game review, a passing mention, or something in between? Is the magazine available to read online anywhere? Thanks, Marasmusine (talk) 13:15, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

DYK of Fabian Wrede class training ship

Hi MKFI, I apologize for my misunderstanding of the Fabian Wrede class training ship article. I am still hoping to get the article on the main page for DYK, so is there a different hook you can propose at the DYK nomination for Fabian Wrede class training ship? (By the way, {{subst:DYKno}} is typically used to reject an article for DYK and that it could not be eligible regardless of hook, so {{subst:DYK?}} would be a more typical icon for changing just a hook.)

Feedback/review needed

• Hello, pertaining to your earlier comment on Talk:Bofors 57 mm gun, please take note that the article has been revamped and I could use some feedback for further improvement. Thanks and best! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 10:53, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

You asked for this page to be split. I have done it, would you have a look? Op47 (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited VTech CreatiVision, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salora (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Commons:Category:Air Force flags of Finland

Greetings! Already few months I am trying to clean up this category. Suspected sockpuppets of WPK~commonswiki upload a number of knowingly incorrect and misleading files with the intention to vandalise the content. I am failed to get these incorrect files deleted due to the lack of enthusiasm of some users. All i managed is to replace the incorrect image with correct, but it created a lot of duplicates. So the issue remaining. Need you help. Sincerely, --Kwasura (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

HMS Sealark (1811)

Hi, I am going to revert your edit to HMS Sealark (1811), and modify the sentence slightly. The medal was awarded in 1847 for the action in 1812, so the lead paragraph is correct, but perhaps confusing to a casual reader. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 11:38, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Second opinion

Methinks that Fonte de regaz (talk · contribs · count) has popped up again, albeit under a different alias. Would really appreciate a fresh set of eyes here. Thanks, GAB^gab 01:07, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello GAB,

I am not certain if Hawkeye Ridgesaw Summer is Fonte de regaz, but there are similarities. Hawkeye has not so far made blatantly fictional military equipment lists. This might also be a different person but from some same internet community as Fonte de regaz. Best to keep an eye on him/her. MKFI (talk) 06:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

@193.194.97.49: hi, sadly I do not speak russian. I moved your message to the end of page and added a header. MKFI (talk) 09:50, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I ran it through Google Translate and it simply says "Hello". Found this when I was checking the IPs contributions, which seem mostly non-constructive and heading towards blocking territory. Mjroots (talk) 10:24, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Sure enough, they headed right in. Now blocked 48h. Mjroots (talk) 13:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
