Db-u1 request

User talk pages are not normally deleted. I've removed your request. You may blank almost anything on your talk page if you wish. There are some exceptions but I didn't notice anything here that you are not allowed to blank. Meters (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Categories

Hi, I notice that you are inserting parent categories into multiple articles again today. I have reverted several instances of this. Where a relevant subcategory is present, a parent category is not normally included. You can find information about his at WP:TOPICCAT. Drchriswilliams (talk) 19:11, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I also see that you have recently been adding category links for topics that are not likely to be large enough to support a category. Wikipedia has policy to help guide editors on this and other forms of overcategorisation here: WP:SMALLCAT. Drchriswilliams (talk) 11:15, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Capitalisation

I notice that you are changing instances of lochs to Lochs. Please note that capitals are only used for proper names, as covered at MOS:NAMECAPS. Drchriswilliams (talk) 19:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I've also noticed your tendency to capitalise ordinary nouns which do not warrant it. Please be careful about this and, from having viewed the level of accuracy of your revisions of existing articl text, if the word is not already capitalised, your instinct to capitalise is almost always incorrect. Best to leave it as it is as if you have difficulty with this. Capitalisation and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Capital_letters may help you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:15, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Can you please pay heed? It makes much of your editing look childish. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:49, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Sea Loch

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Sea Loch. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – loch. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at loch – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Drchriswilliams (talk) 19:57, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Galleries

I notice that you are adding gallery sections to multiple articles, even where no images are in use. This suggests to me that you are not yet familiar with Wikipedia's policies on image use. You can find some relevant guidance at WP:IG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 10:30, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
