Welcome to Wikipedia - and thanks for the new articles you have made! One small thing though - articles should only be marked as stubs using stub templates - please don't simply add them to stub categories. It makes work a lot harder for stub sorters further down the line. Not a biggie, but just something worth remembering. Thanks again - I hope you enjoy your time in Wikipedia!

January 2018: Your edit summary at 2017–18 North American cold wave
[edit] Hi, Halfbricking. I noticed that you wrote an edit summary for an edit to 2017–18 North American cold wave in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English for all comments. Posting all comments in English makes it easier for other editors to join the conversation and help you. If you cannot avoid using another language, then please provide a translation into English, if you can. If you cannot provide a translation, please go to the list of Wikipedias, look in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and edit there instead of here. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 00:43, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 26
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gameela Ismail, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Student union (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of KWJAZ
[edit]Hello Halfbricking,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged KWJAZ for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia, and the artist doesn't have an article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ellipses
[edit]Hi Halfbricking. I've just noticed that, back in June, you moved a load of pages that have ellipses in their names so that they have precomposed characters (…) rather than three periods (...). Was there any paticular reason for this? As far as I can tell, this contradicts Wikipedia manual of style, specifically MOS:ELLIPSES. I'd prefer to move these pages back, but, if there's some reason for the moves that I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:12, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Halfbricking
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username FuzzyMagma, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, ...And Then There Were Three... Tour, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|FuzzyMagma}}
. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
