Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Intel, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:22, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

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.

You seem to be doing a lot of this, but it is not necessarily a good thing to do. We do not remove references just because the hyperlink has gone dead. The reference remains the source of the information, whether or not it can be accessed online, and in many cases it has simply been moved to another location, or can be recovered from an archive. Future editors may need this information to find the souce. You especially should not do this for printed sources, as you did here for example. Printed material can still be found in libraries.

Redlinks should not be removed just because they are redlinks, as you did here. Redlinks should only be removed if the subject is never likely to have an article. That is, if it is non-notable. SpinningSpark 00:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Spinningspark, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was unaware of these guidelines and will be mindful of removing deadlinks and redlinks moving forward.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Revathi Advaithi (June 24)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Flextronics. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Needs more external news sources on Advaithi herself, not press releases or position announcements because she assumed the executive role at Flex.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Manual of style

[edit]

Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator here. I noticed a recent edit summary of yours that indicated that you were changing text to make it compliant with the AP style guide. I haven't looked at the edit in detail, but I wanted to make you aware that we follow our own manual of style, not any third party style guides. I'm not saying that your changes were incorrect, just making sure that you understand what we are aiming for. Cheers Girth Summit (blether) 18:25, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As an afterthought, having looked at a few more of your edit summaries, you may wish to be aware that the Oxford comma is permitted here. They aren't required - it boils down to whether or not they're used consistently throughout an article. You shouldn't remove them on sight, you should check to see whether they are used throughout - don't just change them because you don't like them. See MOS:OXFORD for discussion of this. Cheers Girth Summit (blether) 18:32, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Girth! This is super helpful and something that I will keep in mind moving forward when editing the pages. Appreciate you looking out! Privatechef (talk) 18:33, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. The MOS is a vast, sprawling guide, but you can usually find guidance on what you want to know by searching for it. Give me a shout if you need any help; there's also WP:GOCE, which you might be interested in. Girth Summit (blether) 18:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah - I just looked, MOS:US seems to say that the abbreviation is fine. Girth Summit (blether) 18:40, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

As an extension to the above, and noting again that Wikipedia's manual of style is less-than-succinct, you may want to take a quick look at the MOS:OL guideline. Which confirms that linking of large geographical topics (countries like the United States or continents like North America) are "usually not linked". Except in those (often less common) cases where the linked topic is of particular relevance to the context in the article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited ESET, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PC.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Reading Beans was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Most of the sources are about the company, would you consider a redirect. Best,
