[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 3% for major edits and 50% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 2 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hamish Carter

Retirement? Could you please provide a source for that? Because I believed that he had retired already last year, though that was from the ITU scene. Mathmo Talk 15:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, although I'm sure that is his second retirement message (heh, after doing a search round for the earlier statement (maybe it was just him hinting at it? Memory might be getting wonky...) I see there is a lot of coverage of this one, silly me should have just done a search originally). At least there is a source for that one there now, and if I come across the earlier announcement (that was specific to the ITU) I'll add that. Mathmo Talk 00:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The only "trivia" word one needs to pay attention to is the one here, maybe two "trivia" words, the other being here.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Beat me to it, Bignole. ColdFusion650 01:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy Woodroofe

Thanks for putting this in WP, it's always been a great favourite of mine & it would be good to have the text of "The Fleet's Lit up" here rather than as an external link, but I suspect there may be copyright issues. As to the tags, they were placed by an automated BOT, and they do tend to be rather unthinking. Having said that, TW is mostly known for the Spithead commentary - I wasn't aware of the cup final commentary - & it's difficult to imagine what more could be added. Some of the best WP articles are short. --Rodhullandemu 01:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

  • My pleasure :-) And I'm not quite sure but I think Woodroofe also reported on the Battle of Britain, I'll do some research to see if I can find whether that's accurate. Cheers. --Maarten1963 22:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
