Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Laird of abbeyhill! 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:

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!

Q. If I forget to log in and then make an edit, my IP address will be shown, which is something I want to avoid. Is there any way that edit and any record of it can be deleted please?

{{adminhelp}}

Sure, I'll get an oversighter to check it out. What's the edit in question? Oh, and please remember to sign your edits with four tildes (like this: ~~~~). Thanks! m.o.p 19:36, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much. It's the edit on the 'Edinburgh' page, made at 18.58 on 10th November. Laird of abbeyhill (talk) 19:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I'll make the request shortly, and the edit should be deleted within an hour. The revision deletion will effectively make it look like you've never edited that page, so all the content you changed will be moved back to the previous revision. It's not because we're against the content, but we can't just blank the user details while leaving the revision there. Just thought I'd explain that. Cheers, m.o.p 20:43, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm an idiot, I was thinking like it was 2005 and Oversight wasn't around. The information you contributed is still there, but your address was hidden. Sorry if I sounded confusing! Sometimes I forget which year it is. :P Cheers again, m.o.p 21:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:06, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested improvements are always welcome but removing information without explanation isn't helpful. Please bear in mind that this is a Good Article. Thanks Ben MacDui 18:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do edit wars so I won't revert your revert of my reworking of the lead. I still think paras 3 and 5 should be removed. I have initiated a Request for Comment to get other opinions and will abide by the consensus formed there. I hope you will do the same.

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fergus (name), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gaelic and Scottish language. 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.

McGregor

[edit]

Hi, I unfortunately included the wrong edit summary in my revert so thought best to explain. Although he was with Hutchinson Vale, there is no real context within the article to support that he was a "product" of their system. Where as we have a definite three-year spell in the Rangers youth system to support his progression there, thanks. Kosack (talk) 10:07, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I noticed McGregor was 16 when he joined Rangers so must have played with Hutchison Vale for a number of years before then. I've since found another reference that confirms he was with them from 1989 to '95, and will add it now.--Laird of abbeyhill (talk) 10:50, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He was with Hutchison Vale for over 5 years so I think it's unquestionable he is a product of the club. Laird of abbeyhill (talk) 23:06, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Wjemather. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Robert MacIntyre, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! wjematherplease leave a message... 23:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
