User talk:Ben morphett
Welcome!
Hello Ben morphett, and
At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.
I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Avoiding common mistakes
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin (t) 11:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Re: Thanks for your work on Wendy Lewis (writer)
You're welcome. The article needs more detailed citations than just bare URLs, but other than that, it's pretty good! Graham87 00:29, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- But don't add a book that she co-authored to the further reading section when only a few pages of the book actually discuss the subject, like you did at ]
- Please format the links from "bare url" to "[url title] author publisher date accessdate" or use the Template:Cite web, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed. I personally think she's notable enough for Wikipedia, but other Wikipedians might disagree with me, so be prepared for that. As for the COI notice, just write a short note on the talk page, stating that you're Wendy's husband. I think you did a good job on the article, especially in writing it neutrally and verifiably. Graham87 11:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- More recommendations: The lead should be just a summary, no references there, but - preferably to expanded biography - in the article itself. I personally find it irritating to read a sentence starting with a book title, would prefer something like "Her book ..." or "Her novel ...". - Personal note: my first article was about a friend (deleted within minutes, but revived), and my last one also on someone I know, another Australian, Lyndon Watts, I think it's no problem to know the subject if you keep the text factual, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for January 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roland Berrill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lincoln College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I once dated a Christian Scientist girl... She was insane. She wouldn't take advil, but took birth control? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.46.2.8 (talk) 03:50, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Yeah, your girlfriend sounds a bit mad. But you can't judge a whole religion based on one of them. I'm not a Christian Scientist (not religious at all), but I thought that what you did to the Wikipedia article was unfair, so I wanted to correct it.

Taxonomy templates
Hi. Thanks for all your work converting taxoboxes. Just one note, when you create a taxonomy template the "refs" parameter is for a link to a website referencing the taxonomy of the taxon, not the authority as you have been doing (tbh most people don't bother with it, but I like to use it). Cheers. YorkshireExpat (talk) 10:37, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for that explanation, and yes, I didn’t understand that point. I’ll keep that in mind in future. Ben morphett (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC) Ben morphett (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
