Hello! Andyhowlett, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!

I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 16:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, Andyhowlett! Thank you for your contributions. I am Wer900 and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!Wer900 • talk 23:46, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edittoThe Right Honourable may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

I have restored a little of the language you removed on July eleventh regarding the recent engine fire in the F-35A. It's a verifiable fact that the fire occurred at the start of what was a training flight for F-35 aircrew - the original reference I supplied makes this clear. It's a pertinent, relevant fact given that so many "production" models of this aircraft have already been purchased from Lockheed Martin, and pilots and maintenance crews are training for its deployment despite the fact that no models of this aircraft have yet established achievement of all of its design parameters. It needs to be clear that this fire occurred on a training flight - in a plane that had already been delivered to the US Air Force ostensibly as fit for service - as opposed to a testing and development flight.

Furthermore for anyone to state - so shortly after the Class A incident was investigated - that flying was expected to resume a couple of days later clearly represents an assumption, not an honest "belief" (do beliefs have any place in the analysis of technology?) nor an informed take on the facts - I think the fact that, as I write more than two weeks later, the grounding is ongoing, makes this clear.

Otherwise I have no problem with your edit beyond the fact that it leaves vague the date of the grounding. BLZebubba (talk) 17:26, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

		The Minor Barnstar
		Thank you for your recent edits to Cold fusion and Planck units. Nobody ever gave me a barnstar, which is now why I edit anonymously. "Minor" edits that are good deserve recognition and appreciation. 70.109.188.149 (talk) 17:00, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Lowe (musician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Would I Lie To You?. 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.

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.
