thanks
thank you - that's very kind of you. well fancy that, because i am going to write about recent developments in the town among other things i plan to do - so don't be worried about it. it's all just time and effort and i do try to take care so i must give a thanks to you for sorting out my sentencing. areas of Dunfermline was removed though because i felt it was a waste of space and was something that i would have done a year ago with obessive shop references which i have learnt is not appropriate on wikipedia.Kilnburn (talk) 19:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
just to keep you up to date, i should get round to adding a link to Duloch in the new modern Dunfermline sub-section in the next couple of days. Kilnburn (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
a link has been made onto the Duloch page via the areas of Dunfermline at the bottom of the article. the sub-section that i was going to do, never occured and my attempts to create a wikitable proved to be a bit of a struggle, even though it is not too bad. the spaces between the areas was the problem and if you care to look or have the time, can you please fix. thank you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of

June 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Provanhall. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. sandgemADDICT yeah? 10:03, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason= I am only interested in facts and have positively contributed in all my edits. The user Phil Bridger has jumped on assumptions, which is against wiki guidelines, he just wants to construct their pretty little narrative about the world, regardless of whether or not it has any bearing on reality. If one looks here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Provanhall) Phil Bridger keeps using the term 'provenhall' - the article I want removed/edited is Provanhall. He obviously does not know what he is talking about and has not given me a chance. Provanhall is a neighbourhood of Easterhouse, Glasgow. Easterhouse is a district of Glasgow. Part of a district cannot be a district of the larger entity. It is not a distinct community and is a council estate with houses built from the 1950's onwards, as part of the Easterhouse scheme. The primary school is part of Glasgow's primary schools system. The Provan Hall is near the housing estate - actually the 1950s houses are built on the former estate, but so is most of Easterhouse as per the map I added to the Eaterhouse article. There are other neighbourhoods (not officially recognized - Provanhall, Blairtummock, Moriehall, South Rogerfield, Commonhead, Easthall and Bishops Loch. These are not distinct entities and have no identity outwith the Easterhouse identity). Phil Bridger is the real disruptive user by blocking my attempts to remove the article as being not worthy of having a WIKI page. I am fine to edit it if one must keep it. The place MUST be removed form the areas of Glasgow list as it is 100% not a district of the city. Remember that everything has to be verifiable and this is not a verifiable district}}

Hello, I'm Mutt Lunker. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Berwick-upon-Tweed seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Germans may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- * [[Friedrich Kellner]] (1885–1970, diarist of [[My Opposition]]
- * [[Catherine the Great] (1729–1796), Empress of Russia
Thanks,

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Dunfermline High School
Hi, I noticed that you have added Dunfermline High School to the list of oldest schools. I've put a request on talk: Dunfermline High School for citations and more information. The list covers extant schools, a lengthy gap would mean that the later date needs to be used, still pretty early though. I'm not going to query its inclusion for the moment, let's see what comes of the of the request first. If you have sources or can improve the main article, please do so! Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Blairtummock. Following the above there was a discussion on the talk page of the school. It appears that the 1468 date is the more reliable for the extant school. On another, minor, point: last time I looked Dunfermline was in Scotland, not England! Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:47, 13 February 2018 (UTC)Improvements needed at Black stane
I approved your draft, but it still needs some work. Most prominently, your introduction is very vague. Your first couple sentences (introduction) should give a full who-what-why-when-where. You currently cover the who and vaguely the what, but you don't make clear right at the start what the timeline of this practice is (and the word "ancient" is kind of confusing there). Also, the article fails to explicitly note what the "stane" literally is; it's an actual stone one sits or stands on during the event, yes? That could be made clearer right in the introduction. Note too you can check GoogleBooks to find sources that help to explain this tradition. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
