Disambiguation link notification for September 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1992 in British television, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Television. 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.

Helen McEntee
Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Helen McEntee has been completed.
You will notice that I archived one of the article’s citations (#3). (The websites for the first two citations do not allow archiving.) I suggest that you archive the rest of the article’s URLs, if possible, as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and that it doesn’t develop “dead links” over time. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the URL in the citation and paste it in the “Save Page Now” box on the archive.org site and click save. This creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new URL to add to the original citation. If you look at the URL I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new URL to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl=http etc|archivedate=7 September 2015}}. Not all websites allow archiving so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,
Non-free rationale for File:Capri Sun Apple 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Capri Sun Apple 1.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 08:50, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Surely someone who has resigned from all elected offices is a 'former politician'? If he at some point in the future resumed a political career then it could be amended at that theoretical point?
Thanks

Churchill Retirement Living draft article
Hi Paul
I see that you recently commented on a page called "McCarthy and Stone" and I was hoping as your as also a new page approver that you could look at the draft talk page of a similar company I have drafted an article for called Churchill Retirement Living. I would greatly appreciate your feedback and any notes so that I could submit the article. It is not something I have done before and am using the Churchill page as an introduction article to start with. Please see link below to draft talk page

Hi Paul. If you and other editor(s) think those videos are legit, feel free to add them (per Ghmyrtle's opinion [1]). However, they're still unreliable in my opinion. And I'm against pov version and unconfirmed categories[2], especially when there are zero official/reliable sources for such claims. --Wario-Man (talk) 05:11, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Wario-Man: I have said I don't think it's a good idea to add them. If we could find something else reliable like a news story, where we could say she has claimed to have ancestry from various countries, then great. Otherwise let's not add it. This is Paul (talk) 15:41, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hello TiP. I saw your post about Dan Jarvis at AN/I. I am not sure how much response it will get with this being the weekend. You might try posting the same request at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Of course responses there might be slow as well but I thought I would try and give you another option. Cheers and have a pleasant Sunday. MarnetteD|Talk 00:36, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had a great Sunday as it happens, at the German Market in Birmingham. I haven't been on here since last night, but I see someone reverted the edits I mentioned shortly after my post. The BLP noticeboard would probably have been a better solution than WP:ANI, so if this happens again I'll raise the matter there. I didn't want to revert the changes myself though because it seemed like a slightly delicate subject, and possibly better suited to someone with a slightly more nurturing temperament. This is Paul (talk) 21:20, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- I am glad that things were taken care of. I am even happier that you spent your time doing something fun. Denver only has a small market like that each year but my mother really enjoyed it and I was happy to take her to it. Nice memories. Best regards.MarnetteD|Talk 01:42, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
