Guidance Barnstar

		The Guidance Barnstar
		Thank you for your help and guidance in article creation! - Dynamiccookies (talk \| contribs) 15:57, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dynamiccookies! I noticed that you put a barnstar on my user page; I've copied it here. Usually, you put them on one's user talk page, so that I can reply. Generally, you shouldn't edit others' user pages. (There's no need to revert, though — your edit was fine!) Tol (talk | contribs) @ 16:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Amirh123: I'm occasionally testing it (one example article is Phormidium aerugineo-caeruleum). I agree that GBIF is a reliable source. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:55, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

true i think that's goal of abstract wikipedia is same Amirh123 (talk) 05:57, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Amirh123: Yes, though that's a bit more wide-ranging (and hopefully more thorough). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 18:34, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider the "Timeline of Alfred Milner". I think you were overly critical in certain respects: He was a very important figure in England from 1898 to 1918, in 1918 he won World War I by uniting the Western Front at Doullens Town Hall France, on March 26, 1918. This event should be world known, but the meeting was secret at the time, and the pace of events overshadowed the meeting as Ferdinand Foch turned the war around and caused the November 11th armistice. Also, my biography of 51 sources includes 4 biographies of Alfred, cited often, as well as multiple French and English sources. In addition, this is a complete and accurate timeline, devoid of favoritism (I gave an introduction to two important chapters, but all timeline information is transferred verbatim, and footnoted (often multiple footnoted). Last, I think the ideal place for this wikipedia article will be as a complement to "Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner", meaning having the page stand alone with a link to it at the top of Alfred's biography page. Viewers can read about his life, and then go into details on the Timeline page. Alfred was very important to imperialist England, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Prime Minister's Salisbury, Alfred Balfour and Bonar Law, and statesmen George Curzon, Joseph Chamberlain and a youthful Winston Churchill. Please view the important pictures of the stained glass window at Doullens, the War Cabinet of 1917 (his idea), and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Thank you for your help. This has been a long, difficult project.

Lord Milner (talk) 04:43, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lord Milner: Hello! I declined Draft:Timeline of Alfred Milner because I didn't think it was notable enough to have its own article, and goes into excessive detail. It also worries me that you say "all timeline information is transferred verbatim", because this sounds like it violates copyright. Finally, the format (a numbered list) is troubling, as any change would require it to be renumbered, and it could be better reworded as prose. (Also, some points are formatted as code blocks.) I would strongly advise adding relevant information to Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 21:38, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
