Interwikis
Hi Gilwellian: Interwikis are now maintained on Wikidata. See the "Edit links" link at the bottom of the list of interwikis in the sidebar. (Editar los enlaces on es :-) ) This brings up a list of the articles currently linked on that topic; click on "add" and fill in first the language code and then the title. I just did this for Þiðranda þáttr ok Þórhalls. Thanks for thinking of adding the link anyway - especially if you created the Spanish-language article! Yngvadottir (talk) 15:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for your words of encouragement and your contributions --Eleonora Venezuela (talk) 15:14, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Your threats
I believe you are mistaking a commitment to following WP guidelines with "obsessive editing" The truth is that if you read the talk page on the Alejandro Betancourt page you will find that this individual and his company have been determined by several international NGOs to be engaged in harassment of journalists. None other than Reporters Without Borders has written about the subject. If you do not like my edits where I seek to ensure the entry fits in with WP:RS then find other sources. In the meantime, keep threats toward me to a minimum. They are not appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.122.12.68 (talk) 01:48, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. An awesome place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us! Righteousskills (talk) 20:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC) |
Hello there! I would like to discuss your recents edits on Derwick Associates and Alejandro Betancourt López further. We appreciate your help on the page. But its important we all work to ensure Wikipedia policies are upheld. Please take a look at these Wikipedia policies:
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources
- Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources
- Wikipedia:Notability
If there is no RS, the info has to come out. Please stop reverting edits without discussion and understanding of Wiki policy first.Righteousskills (talk) 20:59, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Situation you told me about
By Tuesday I should be back on familiar ground (and hopefully not too addled by jet lag). If it's still a problem I can deal with it then. Daniel Case (talk) 23:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dimitar Dimitrov ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Organisation_of_Bulgarian_Scouts check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Organisation_of_Bulgarian_Scouts?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).
