French Pass

Hi WavyGeek. That's a useful start you've made. I expanded French Pass and nominated it for a joint DYK. I also started another article called Marine power in New Zealand. If you would like to contribute to that over the next week, we could nominate that for a joint DYK as well. The stuff you added to Pelorus Sound is interesting. You could improve some parts by making them clearer for a reader who doesn't already know about tidal flows. Cheers --Geronimo20 (talk) 08:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Use of thumbnails in Infoboxes

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Bettina Meyer. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up :Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). If you have any questions, let me know! :-) You can respond on my talk page, or here. If you respond here, please include {{tlc|ping|zackmann08}} in your response so I am notified. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:46, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

:This is now the second time I am warning you. You have once again used a thumbnail in the infobox for Pat Langhorne. Please do not do this. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hi WavyGeek! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at :Helen Elizabeth Shearburn Clark that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia{{Snd}} it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
