January 2010 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Titus Books (publisher) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://readingthemaps.blogspot.com, http://richardinfinitex.blogspot.com/, http://blueacres.blogspot.com/ (matching the regex rule \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Bilders NAG WgtnNZ1988.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Bilders NAG WgtnNZ1988.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 12:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 12:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Holloway Press (publisher), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.hollowaypress.auckland.ac.nz.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi owen - you recently added three place names to this page... unfortunately, two of them are not pronounced the way you seem to think they are - neither Moray Place, Dunedin, nor Outram, New Zealand is pronounced counterintuitively. Grutness...wha? 04:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Grutness. I believe Outram is promounced OO-tr..
I believe Moray is pronounced as in Murray.
How do you believe they are pronounced?

Disambiguation link notification for October 29 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Direen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Builders. 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.

Alfred Domett edit
Thanks for your additions to Alfred Domett. I've had to revert your links to external photos as we do not put external links into the prose of an article. Sorry for that. Your options are:
- leave things the way they are
- add those links to the section called "External links"
- Domett's bio is rather short and there is so much more that could be written about him. If the article becomes longer, it could hold more images. Anything from back then is now in the public domain, hence uploading those photos to Commons and then using them in this article directly would become an option.
If you have any questions please ask. Here's good; I'll keep an eye on your page. But I've got a week's worth of holiday coming up so may not respond swiftly. Schwede66 06:42, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there, oh I still have a lot to learn with Wiki, but thank you for your explanation. I'll add those links to the external links section as you suggested. Have a good holiday. (Owen Slatraigh (talk) 20:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC))

Disambiguation link notification for August 27 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Strath Taieri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Māori. 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.)

Bare URLs edit
Could you please have a read of Wikipedia:Bare URLs and why it's a problem? And yes, it says: There is nothing wrong with adding bare URL references to Wikipedia.
But somebody will have to come along and tidy up after you, so you might as well read Help:Referencing for beginners and become a better editor. :-) Schwede66 22:36, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
