User talk:74.79.146.8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey, welcome! Thanks for finding those errors on the Marie Antoinette page, we always need people to be doing fact checking. You should leave messages on people's talk pages, that way they see an orange box that says "you have new messages" when you leave them one. So for Michaelsanders, you would use User talk:Michaelsanders, for me you would use User talk:Delldot. Similarly, if you see a problem with an article, you (and should!) can leave a note on the talk page for the article, for instance Talk:Marie Antoinette. That way other editors can discuss the problem and figure out what to do about it.

Another suggestion I have is that you consider creating an account, so it's easier for people to figure out who you are (because, right now, to us you're 74.79.146.8, which is hard to distinguish from other IP's. Plus, creating an account has other perks, like a watchlist Just a thought. Don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or need anything, I'm always glad to help.

[edit] Marie Antoinette

With regards to Princess Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France - the link leads to that name, rather than to Princess Sophie Hélène Béatrice of France; since it was red-linking, I changed it.

You don't sound arrogant at all. If you find details that you believe need to be changed, then - provided you have a source to back up your changes, and include citations - you can change them. I do have to say, however, that in my personal opinion the article is not too long.

Also, please leave messages to other users on their talk pages (as I have left this on your talk page), rather than on user-pages. I don't find it particularly annoying, but it is slightly tedious to move messages from the user-page to the talk-page, and some users will get very angry if you leave messages there. Still no harm done, and I hope you are willing to improve the article further. Michael Sanders 13:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
