MCI Communications and MCI Worldcom

edit

I noticed that you attempted to merge these two articles together. The attempt has been reverted. A merger of these articles has been discussed before at Talk:MCI WorldCom and there has been no consensus to perform a merge. Please feel free to read the prior arguments, and if you still feel a merge is appropriate make a new merger proposal on the talk page of either article. --Allen3 talk 13:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Controversy on Emperor Entertainment Group

The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ

edit

Firstly it looks like you've done some great work to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ article, however I have to say that User:Reflex Reaction was right to remove the ", Ltd" from the article and I have now removed the "Limited" that you added back. Wikipedia's policy on naming company articles can be found here. Many thanks Ian3055 19:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Marconi

edit

Hi. I'm not sure what you have done with Marconi Corporation and related pages is the best way of handling the subject. You have everything post the GEC/Marconi plc renaming redirecting to Telent which makes little sense. References to Marconi plc and Marconi Corporation plc should link to Marconi Corporation for a full history (1999-2005). I believed Telent should be a history of that company post Ericsson with a brief outline of the causes. Also edits you made such as "[GEC] was renamed to Marconi plc in 1999 and Telent_plc in 2005." are misrepresentitive. GEC was renamed Marconi plc which was then acquired by Ericsson (who retain the brand). The scraps that were left were renamed Telent. Regards --Mark83 20:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please use edit summaries

edit

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Mark83 20:10, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Chan (actor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Triad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Langley Holdings

edit

Hi Diasimon2003,

thanks for writing a Chinese article to Langley Holdings! It's very rare that a (so) foreign language has created the article to a topic earlier than English Wikipedia. I've experienced this only one time before (Japanese Wikipedia was faster than English). Why were you interested in Langley Holdings?

Clara Pensions

edit

Hi there,

My name is Maddy, and I work for Headland Consultancy. We are a PR firm that represents a number of clients, including Clara Pensions. Clara Pensions is a relatively new UK pensions provider which is part of a new breed of pension “superfunds”.

These superfunds have been created to bridge the gap for defined benefit pension schemes who are looking to transfer their pension members to an insurer, but cannot yet afford to do so. Clara is the first (and so far only) superfund to be approved by the Pensions Regulator. It expects to start transactions and welcome its first pension scheme members later in 2023.

I’m getting in touch with you today because I can see that you’ve written and contributed to a number of different pages about major UK pensions and financial services providers, including Standard Life and Scottish Widows. Given your established presence as a Wikipedia editor in this sector, I was wondering if you would be interested in creating an article about Clara Pensions.

Given that it’s a fairly recent challenger in the British pensions market, it has yet to have a Wikipedia page. I hope you will consider making this contribution to Clara’s Wikipedia presence. Do let me know if you have any questions or require any further information on the above.

Thanks,
