==Disambiguation link notification for April 13==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[S. F. Cushman Woolen Mill]], you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages [[Cashmere]] and [[Kersey]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== [[Onlinelivenews24]] ==

Why did you decline the speedy deletion on [[Onlinelivenews24]]? Exactly the same article has already been created many times before, and deleted as [[WP:A7|A7]]. I've put it up for AfD, but I believe it should have been speedy deleted. [[User:Joseph2302|Joseph2302]] ([[User talk:Joseph2302|talk]]) 12:45, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

:I declined it because speedy deletion is intended for articles that don't even make a plausible claim of notability (e.g. "Bob is my friend who's a real hoopy frood"). The article does assert that the site is one of the most popular in Bangladesh, so I don't think speedy is appropriate in this case. The article obviously will need more citations to pass -- and frankly I doubt that it will -- but I don't think speedy is the right process in this case.

:Hi {{u|Suskinmanagement}} -- if you want to replace the image with a different one that would be fine. If there is an alternate image you're willing to release under a Creative Commons copyright license, you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard and use that on the article instead. In general, if the article has no image and there are photos of Sonja Sohn available on Wikimedia Commons, someone will probably add one back.

*[[User:Hiromi kirishima|Hiromi kirishima]], It has since been deleted as spam and a copyright infringement. I'm sorry, but I also cannot see where this YT personality would pass Wikipedia's very strict guidelines for notability. Other than a handful of articles in various [[WP:SPS]]-esque sources, there really is no coverage of this person. I also noted on the article's talk page that you claimed he is popular on YT, but popularity does not equate to notability. It can make it more likely but it is not a guarantee.

== 7 Cups of Tea ==

I have been reverting clearly improper personal comments and have explained this to the new user on their talk page without escalating the warnings. Vandalism patrolling, which I have done for quite awhile, is an exception to 3RR. I don't claim to be always right and certainly make a mistake from time to time but I don't think someone can leave personal comments about "what an organization is really like" and not have them reverted. If you evaluate the content differently from me, please let me know. Thanks. [[User:Donner60|Donner60]] ([[User talk:Donner60|talk]]) 20:00, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

::No problem. As I said, I am not perfect and have made mistakes in vandalism patrolling from time to time (not too often, I think). I don't mind an occasional check and look back. I have restored some edits promptly when I realized, or in a few cases had it pointed out to me, that they were in good faith and at least arguably correct. It is good to be kept alert when doing this. If a mistake is made, then it can be quickly corrected. I think that is key. Avoid errors but in the event one is made, correct it quickly with an explanation and even apology if appropriate. I try to do that but a little reminder can be helpful.

Hi Tim, I appreciate you answering a few questions for me yesterday in the live chat and thank you for your willingness to help. I am editing an article on Morgan Ganem. You recommended that I find stronger citations and focus on the more important things.

Also, I've omitted the Dr. Plasticine section because there isn't as much in depth important info on that subject.

As all Wikipedia writers, I would like to get this article edited so that it will be approved. Please feel free to make edits if you would like. I appreciate any suggestions or help you an give me.

* {{ping|Gwillis}} I think that sounds like a great idea and very on-topic for that page. The biggest concern is that uploading an image of someone else's artwork to Wikipedia can run afoul of intellectual property law. The image could be uploaded under the fair use doctrine in order to display it specifically on that one page. Alternatively, as it happens, I personally know Jay Furr, who designed the "Spamming The Globe" t-shirt. I'll ask him if he'd be willing to release the image under a CC license.

== Request from beyond the grave ==

In 2007, you requested an image of the "Amstel Tower windmill" at [[Talk:Windmill]]. You either have got the wrong name or need to be more specific. The Amstel Tower is a to-be-built residential tower, while there are various tower-like windmills along the [[Amstel]] river. Could you please indicate which one you were refering to (maybe even with google maps links/coordinates)? --[[User:HyperGaruda|HyperGaruda]] ([[User talk:HyperGaruda|talk]]) 11:10, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

:If you're referring to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Windmill&diff=359046987&oldid=352039752 this edit], it was an image request that someone else had made on another page. The original request was:
::''I would much appreciate some good images showing mechanical details of - specifically - the Amstel Tower windmill. I can find an image showing the front of the mill, but details are not brilliant and nowhere can I find images of the mechanics of turning the cap - which are at the rear of the mill and also up on the skirt. I would also like to see better details of the doors and windows in these mills - Tower mills especially, where only the cap and sails are turned in to the wind, not the entire post. --FranOnTheEdge 07:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)''
:If you need more information then you should ask them. [[User:Tim Pierce|—Tim Pierce]] ([[User talk:Tim Pierce#top|talk]]) 01:47, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
