Wiki Loves Women

In the future, rather than try to add it by category, please add the full Wiki Loves Women template to the talk page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:00, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Ricky81682 your point has been noted regards.Rberchie (talk) 06:55, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stella Aba Seal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eastern Region. 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.

Admin help request

Requesting an IP address block exemption, because(I am having an edit-a-thon and a training session for Wiki Loves Women). Rberchie (talk) 20:22, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

You will need to give more detail. As recently as two days ago your edit log shows that you were not blocked, and I do not see a block now. Please post the message you see when you try to edit; also, what does Wiki loves Women have to do with your difficulty? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Bradbury (talk • contribs) 21:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry but I think I used the wrong templates I have an edit-a-thon tomorrow and I wanted to request an exemption from the IP been blocked because a lot of people will create accounts and edit with the same IP address please advice me oh how I can do that regardsRberchie (talk) 21:54, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

I see you have account creator status and your editathon is presumably over (with great success, I hope!), so I'm going to mark this closed. If I can help further, use my talk or ping me. :-) Katie^talk 12:35, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Proposal: New Page Reviewer user right

A discussion is taking place to request that New Page Patrollers be suitably experienced for patrolling new pages. Your comments at New pages patrol/RfC for patroller right are welcome. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Please justify

Please explain how you decided a two sentence stub article needed a further citation!?? I'll leave aside the absurdity of tagging ANY NEW ARTICLE less than 6-8 weeks old... IT'S YOUR TIME TO WASTE. But do remember use of such templates is held to be controversial and unwanted by quite a few editors. // FrankB 21:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
