Your page Ellie Goulding[edit]
Hi. I am guessing that when you replaced the content of your page "Ellie Goulding" with a {{userpage}} template, what you meant to do was "userfy" it - move it into your user space - so that you could work on it there. I have done that for you - the page is now at User:Davebushe/Ellie Goulding. If that wasn't what you wanted, please let me know and I will try to sort it out - you can reply below here, I will watch this page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:15, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's exactly what I was trying to do. Thanks kindly Davebushe (talk) 19:17, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I came across your deletion nomination and notice the article doesn't appear to have existed. Just wondering what it was you were trying to delete. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- It was spam for a company claiming to stream RTE online for a fee Davebushe (talk) 00:03, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. I'm not sure whether you're aware of this, but there's a Wikiproject for dealing with spam. If the site is added again and it becomes a problem it might be worth mentioning it there. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:49, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
