Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ford Tickford Experience, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Windsor and HSV (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.

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Ford Tickford Experience, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Ford Tickford stuff

Hi Space alligator. It was brought to my attention that you removed all of the content from Ford Tickford Experience and then redirected that article to your own article, Ford Tickford Engineering after it was rejected multiple times from Articles for Creation because the article already existed. I understand your desire to have your article represented on Wikipedia, however, there are all kinds of crazy processes we have on Wikipedia after 12 years as being the world's biggest consensus driven website anyone can edit. Here's what I advise:

  1. I userfied your version of the article here, so you can edit it and work on it still.
  2. Either:
  • Merge your article into the existing Ford Tickford Experience article by adding content from your article to that article.
  • Propose to have your article represent FTE (engineering and experience) on the talk page of the Ford Tickford Experience article. This then allows the community to weigh in. If there is no response to your proposal (or claims as to why your article is better and why the other should just be a redirect) after one week then you can proceed with the changes.

Wikipedia likes consensus, its allows any interested person or party to have their voice heard. And frankly, if I was a large contributor to the Ford Tickford Experience article I'd be *pissed* (pardon my use of the word) to see what you had done. In fact, someone was so pissed about it they came to me to help rectify it. I like to assume good faith that you did this without understanding the consensus process, so, I hope that you will proceed to gather consensus and work with the community to proceed accordingly.

Thanks for editing Wikipedia. SarahStierch (talk) 16:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Your edits to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tickford vehicle Engineering

Information icon Hello, I'm Vacation9. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tickford vehicle Engineering, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Vacation9 07:33, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Ford Falcon GT victories, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fred Gibson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ford Falcon (XY) GT, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.diecast4u.com.au/index.php/1-18-autoart-ford-falcon-xy-gtho-phase-3-vintage-burgundy-gold-side-stripes.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Moving pages

Please do not move pages by copying the text from one article to another. When you do that it removes an articles history of editting. You use either the Move button at the top of the page next to Read | Edit | View History | and the watchlist star or if that does not work go to Wikipedia:Requested moves and follow the instructions. --Falcadore (talk) 11:19, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
