Bristol > Mahon

Please do some further digging and you'll find these have been publicly announced and are timetabled for next year. As a result they are a valid route and need to be here for clarity. Please stop reverting these edits, Thanks Shazz0r (talk) 11:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Winscombe

Thanks for your message, I look forward to your work on the Winscombe article. I'm not quite sure what your question about adding sections means. If you want to add a sub head simply put ==Heading== once you have 4 or so sections a menu will appear. For a guideline on an appropriate structure & suggestions for suitable content see Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements. Hope that helps - if you have any further questions feel free to contact me but I'm currently at a conference in Canada so dealing with power supply & Internet connectivity issues, so response may be delayed.— Rod ^talk 11:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Butcombe logo.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Butcombe logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 07:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bristol Airport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Milan Airport (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
