Equipe Cycliste Cascades Reply
Hi - there are 4 separate articles that link there - cycling team, Canada, road bicycle racing and track cycling. UCI might also qualify as a link, I didn't add it though because I'm not certain if it stands for Union Cycliste International or not. LovelyLillith (talk) 04:44, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Okay - now that I've re-read the definition of "Orphan", I may have made a mistake, if there are no articles pointing inward towards the article; I thought it meant if it didn't link to anything else at all. If you want to re-add the tag, that would probably be proper. LovelyLillith (talk) 04:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah that explains it! I thought I was going nuts! I’ll try and link from one of the articles you suggested so we can keep the orphan tag off. Mccapra (talk) 04:54, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Page moved
Good job genius, I'm working on this page, then you moved it, and all my changes are gone. Now you correct all errors! I can not take it anymore.
- Apologies I did not realise anyone was working on it.Mccapra (talk) 17:39, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks...
...but was just on wikignoming edit runs which give me a chance to come upon some very good pages. Your user page shows your valuable body of work for the readers and scholars of the encyclopedia, and thank you for that, as well as for helping me make a better mental map of Galileo and his place in the formation of human thought and discovery. Nice work. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:15, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- I went backwards and forwards over whether or not to capitalise ‘Sun’, ‘Moon’ etc. The sources I was using were not consistent. Of course the more I looked at it the less sure I was. In the end I opted for lower case because that seemed more conservative, but I’m glad you’ve been able to resolve this with reference to a standard wiki guideline. If I write any more articles on these themes I’ll bear this in mind. Mccapra (talk) 04:31, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, sources are mixed but Wikipedia style is that when referring to an astronomical body it is a proper noun and upper cased unless in a direct quote. This has some subtleties as well, as things like "full moon" aren't capitalized because it refers to the view of the Moon and not the Moon itself. But "Moon phases" is upper cased. One of the interesting ones is Solar System, which is upper cased as a proper name but not all editors know it (and yet it moves). Good to meet you, and thanks for being interested in, and sharing your interest with others, on so many topics. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm sure you meant to put a person instead of "India–Nepal relations" in this edit. Julia ☺ 16:11, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Erk! Sorry yes you’re right! I’ll hunt back to see what I was trying to do. Thanks for pointing this out. Mccapra (talk) 16:21, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- fixed it now. Much obliged. Mccapra (talk) 16:29, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
German West Africa
Hi, The ships I was talking about were involved with East Africa, but I added an item in HMS Opal (1875) which may be of minor interest to you. I also had a look at your sandbox and I'll have a go at enhancing the referred ships in Commons. I did the Olga, with some success, but unfortunately nothing of African interest found. All the best. Broichmore (talk) 20:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hiya thanks for looking this up. When I’ve slogged my way through German bloody West bloody Africa I’ll have a look at the Opal to see if it inspires me to investigate further. All the best. Mccapra (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Specify
The article currently uses teh term bulge. Do you think that's too generic considering more specific terms such as manbulge exist? Bulge could be any part of the body. 92.19.189.134 (talk) 09:21, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
