Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, WTM! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Marek.69 ^talk 03:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Diego Santa Cruz

Hi. Please check the references or external links in the articles before removing information, so you avoid doing errors in future similar to the one you did on Diego Santa Cruz article. I understand your doubts, but the external source Playerhistory clearly indicates he IS the brother of Roque, so it couldn´t possibly be "unsourced". The one that died in the car accident however was their 3th brother and that was mistakenly in the article and I added one source that explains that accident of their brother situation and also confirms that Diego is Roque´s brother. Regards, FkpCascais (talk) 06:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, the website Playerhistory is considered to be among the most reliable among football websites. I also found the other source from the ABC journal that speaks about them being brothers. Curiously, back then when talking to a Croatian friend talking me about him and how they expected from him to be equally good as his brother (refering to Roque)... Anyway, after all this, I´m also having some doubts and there seems to be a some confusion about this. I´ll try to get more info about it. FkpCascais (talk) 13:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

The link you posted in my talk page (roquesantacruz.com) explains it all. In the first paragraph (starting in 2th line) it says:

"His family is composed of 6 people: His father Don Aproniano Dedicación Santa Cruz, his mother Doña Celina Cantero and his 3 brothers Oscar (22) Diego (19) and Julio (12). He describes himaself as very calm and very dedicated to his brothers:"I get along well with all of them but the one I get along better is Diego who was my room companion and we have allways been very close."

Thank you very much for having found this link. Mistery solved, right? I apologise to you if I was harsh on you with my first comment, and whenever you need anything, translations or whatever else, please don´t hesitate to ask. :) FkpCascais (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Something went wrong with your edit to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism causing the page to be messed up, and I had to revert it. Can you please re-report if necessary? Thanks. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't know whether they are or aren't taking part, but I'm damn sure that Nightwish, Justin Bieber and Monty Python weren't in the national selection... Nice catch. Peridon (talk) 17:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Donald Hewlett

"Absurdal reference. www2.freebmd.org.uk refers to some Donald M. Hewlett, born DECEMBER 1920, mother's name Marland."

Not born December 1920, but birth registered in the December quarter (Oct-Dec). And yes this is him - his middle name is Marland according to his obits. Crisso (talk) 22:15, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Petr Rada, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FC Bohemians Prague (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.

Revision of Longest words

Thanks for helping to clean up Longest words! It sure needed it. I have a question, though, regarding your latest revision to the page. You changed a word from "old-fashioned" to "dative." Is this what you meant or did you mean "dated?" The latter is a grammatical term that is perfectly acceptable, but I just wanted to make sure since I have no knowledge of Polish whatsoever. ;) Thanks! WikiWinters (talk) 15:18, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Wikicology. I noticed that you recently removed some content from perseids without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Hey there, please take note of the talk page before reverting again. Thanks. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 19:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015

Your recent editing history at Flag of Dallas shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Christmas greetings. I was at fault for reverting your edit to Arseny Tarkovsky's photograph on his wikipedia webpage. The problem is that User:Merihlyund doesn't seem to understand that he/she needs to create a new wiki commons page for his/her photograph of Arseny in later years. Perhaps you can make this clear to him/her. kind regards. 82.27.90.157 (talk) 11:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
