• And here's a rant about being reverted.

Lotus 7 Article

Hi, I reverted your edit as it was a link to an external commercial website which did not add to the article. External links like this are discouraged in Wikipedia (See WP:LINKSTOAVOID for more info on linking). I did make a comment, the 'rv linkspam' means reverted due to link spam. I realise this may not be obvious sorry! I do not wish to discourage you from editing Wikipedia! Happy Editing KingDoorknob (talk) 14:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I just refer to all commercial links as spam. I agree the list of manufacturers needs to be there. I think any links to commercial sites shouldn't really be there under wiki guidelines. The only reaon i removed yours was as it came up on my watchlist as a change, I haven't had a good look at the article for a while. If the manufacturer is notable enough i think a wiki link is the only link needed as wikipedia is not supposed to be a link reposititory so i personally think all the external links should be removed as they don't add sunstantially to the article. The Caterham situation is slightly different seeing as they bought the rights from Lotus, whereas the others are clones.KingDoorknob (talk) 11:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Yorkshire Wikiproject

Yorkshire Wikiproject newletters are delivered to a sub page.

Erp link

I noticed this edit, any reason for it? Barring any substantial new discoveries, Erp is not going to have a page of his own (see edit summary). Paradoctor (talk) 09:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Kipper the Dog

I just wanted to let you know that fictional dogs like Kipper are covered under the scope of WikiProject:Dogs. Coaster1983 (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May

Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.

Full details here.

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
