[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:United_Kingdom&diff=prev&oldid=495412834 This] is an interesting comment.

Hi Ckatz, please don't edit war as it sets a poor example for new users. You have imposed your version of content onto [[Divemaster]] with three edits without taking the time to discuss it on [[Talk:Divemaster|the article talk page]], although Wiki4Thal (a relatively new user with just 150 edits) actually posted on the talk page ''before'' he made his revert of your first removal of the text. You're experienced enough to know that we don't conduct discussion via edit summaries, and your templating of Wiki4Thal is poor form in dealing with newbies, when what is needed is discussion on the article talk page. We don't have many experts editing in the scuba diving area, and it would be a shame if we alienated someone who has had huge experience with the development of diving from the project because of being [[WP:BITE|"bitten"]] early on. |
|||
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, and for what it's worth I have ''some'' sympathy with your view of the text being over-promotional. Nevertheless, I hope you'll be willing to go to the article talk page and explain to Wiki4Thal what would be best for [[Divemaster]] and what for [[NAUI]]. Even though it costs more time, we all benefit in the end from investing in debating issues collegially in these circumstances.

Hello! Thanks for dropping by... please feel free to below. I don't have a convention as to where I'll respond, be it here, your talk page, or the talk page of the subject we're discussing - but I'll do my best to keep things clear. Let me know if you have a preference... now, get typing! Ckatz |

Frequently asked questions
- Where can I learn more about editing Wikipedia?
- The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
- Why was the link I added removed from an article?
- Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Wikipedia isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
- Why was my article deleted?
- Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
- Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
- This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Wikipedia's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
- Why were my spelling changes reverted?
- Wikipedia's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter
We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Linking, UK etc
This is an interesting comment. I've always thought/assumed many people acquiesce over link-stripping because they think it's quasi-official (or because they don't care either way) - rather than the broad indifference/silence being evidence for implicit consensus in favour of link removals, as often claimed.
