User talk:Flint McRae

Welcome!

Hello Flint McRae, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:

Your CSD tagging[edit]

Please note that ``no substantial content." is not a valid CSD criterion. For valid criteria, see that linked page. If the content is meaningful, as it was here, it can be merged or redirected to another page. In this case, I merged the content of ISMTII to International Committee on Measurements and Instrumentation. Please review the CSD criteria.

Sorry to butt in, but also Harfsen, firstly it isn't in English so {{Notenglish}} is the better route. Secondly you tagged it without informing the newbie who wrote it, all the tags generate a template which you can copy and paste to the authors talkpage, and they usually don't need personalising though you alway need to check that they are saying the right thing. Thanks and happy editing. Ϣere SpielChequers 13:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you still often tag without notifying the authors. Please follow the suggestion above.--Tikiwont (talk) 13:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of LeanLogistics[edit]

An editor has nominated LeanLogistics, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LeanLogistics and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. - Eastmain (talk) 03:14, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Malmsbury railway station, Victoria[edit]

I am sorry to learn that you have reverted my changes on this article. It is very hard to cite sources about this small railway station as there are very few. I know about this station because of my few years living near it and occasional use of its services. Also, I was confused when you said history of vandalism, I only created my account yesterday and it was my first time editing wikipedia - why did you say this?

Dave152, presumably Flint McRae saw my reverts of your other edits. As I have said in my reply to your message on my Talk page, your claim about Ian Hislop and the Daily Mail seemed implausible and not supported by anything I could find in a brief Google search. You also made edits to the Austro-Fiat article, stating that a number of dates mentioned were out by ten years. That seemed bizarre to me, since the dates in question were far apart, referred to a number of different events in the company's history, yet according to you they were all out by exactly ten years. Unfortunately there seems to be very little information available about this company, at least in English, so I could not easily verify your claims, or for that matter the original dates. It just seemed implausible to me that all those dates could be wrong, and all by exactly ten years. Dubmill (talk) 11:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I am unable to find much evidence to back me up online (at least what I can understand!) I am only getting my information from an old school textbook which had this company as a case study, maybe this source was wrong, I don't know. Either way I can see that this combined with the Daily Mail is making me seem like a vandal when I am actually not. From now on I will only add information that I can cite my sources, to avoid such problems in the future. Honestly, I am not just a vandal, despite the evidence against me.

Templated notices[edit]

When you leave a templated notice on a user's page could you remember to substitute the template as well as sign. Thanks in advance. Regards --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 17:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
