Spelling mistakes in missing topics lists

I've corrected Alec Issigonis and Alex Moulton on your list and I'll let you know if I find any more. Biscuittin (talk) 20:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Marine automobile engine

Hey, I saw you had commented on the talk page about EFI used in auto engines, and that the article needs attention. I agree with you on both points. Yes, contemporary auto engines are usually equipped with EFI. However it took a VERY long time for EFI to become common on inboard and I/O engines. DIS is another example. It's only recently common on inboards and I/Os (if you discount jet-ski engines). I have an old (1976) Correct Craft with a Ford 351 Windsor engine. The motor spins backwards, it ran a points ignition until just recently, and still has a good ol' Holley 4160 carb feeding metering fuel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Almabes (talkcontribs) 11:42, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 19:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Just for the record: do you oppose replacing <references /> with {{Reflist}} in this article? —bender235 (talk) 16:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

No I have no objection. What is the difference between them? Biscuittin (talk) 18:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, first of all, {{Reflist}} reduces the font size to 90% of the default size. And second, it allows multi-column reference lists (see e.g. Barack Obama#Notes). --bender235 (talk) 19:37, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. Personally, I hate multi-column reference lists but don't let my prejudices interfere with your editing. Biscuittin (talk) 16:29, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Royal Docks Heritage Railway AFD

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Docks Heritage Railway. Simply south (talk) 21:21, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

The article J B Pickthall has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of importance (organizations), per WP:CSD:A7. Appears to be more promotional than informative, per WP:SPAM. Missing reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Becksguy (talk) 06:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I have deleted this article. It was not in any way an encyclopedia article, rather it was an appeal to users to create articles out of the many redirects to this page. How it managed to sit there for so long unnoticed is another story. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

This talk page is becoming very long. Please consider archiving.


I have nominated Minor bus operators in England, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Minor bus operators in England. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
