Sleep

Hello Tideflat. I know about the rules and regulations, but don't you think the images look much nicer beside the TOC? Slightsmile (talk) 00:17, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't know, it just that most other pages have the images at the top of the page so I moved them. When it is beside the TOC, the top right corner of the page look lonely Tideflat (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Uncertain plural, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages English and Singular (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.

Article Rescue Squadron

Hi, Tideflat, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again — Welcome! Northamerica1000(talk) 03:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
