Hello Gwinva! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 938 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
Thanks!-- DASHBot ( talk) 20:20, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Greetings, G. There's another "public encyclopedia" website that's using the article you posted on Horses in the Middle Ages (or 80% of it, word for word). Wiki doesn't have an SOP for reporting "reverse plagiarism" that I could find, so I commented on it here. (Nice article!) -- Cuchulainshound ( talk) 04:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi there. I was just reading through Early thermal weapons, an article you were the primary editor for. Nice work! If that's a topic that interests you, you might like Adrienne Mayor's book on the subject, Greek Fire, Poison Arrows & Scorpion Bombs. A fun read... assuming you like descriptions of people getting red hot sand thrown at them. Cheers! Matt Deres ( talk) 00:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I am a person from Germany. Possibly you can look on the discussion of the article: Audio theatre, because you have made edits in the past on articles which are related with it.

Hi Gwinva, I wasn't aware that there was any standard format for earthquake articles (as suggested by your edit summary). Much of what is now in the 'geology' section is about the earthquake and is really seismology (in my view) rather than geology as such. I'd rather not have to go back to all 60 odd earthquake articles that I've created or expanded and change them unless I'm convinced that it's necessary. I'm not saying that these articles can't be improved, they surely can, but I don't really understand the need for reorganising them, but I am willing to be convinced.

Hallo G! I put this on the Discussion page at the top. "Eight references refer to "Bennett et al." but the reference isn't in the list and it appears to me that it never has been.

I have translated Army Gold Medal and added to the article on the Dutch Wikipedia. To us, in the Netherlands, it would be of some interest to know the six military engagements that were remembered on the Prince's cross and his two clasps. Our Prince, later King William II of the Netherlands wore his Peninsular Gold Cross on many occasions.
The sources that I have ar not specific.
The exact name of the decoration is somewhat ambigious. Was it instituted as simply "a gold cross". Was it instituted by an Order in Council, a warrant or a simple order by the Ministry of War?
Faithfully yours,

Hello. At the above article, you cited Taylor as a reference, in this edit. I'm checking certain facts but attempts to identify the publication have proved impossible because the citation has not been done in a way that conforms to Wikipedia's expectations. The publication has not been named, an ISBN number has not been mentioned, and only the author's last name has been cited. If you're still around and remember the book or still have it in your possession, I'd like to hear about it. Thank you. Akld guy ( talk) 23:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Wikipedia talk:Village stocks, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
