You added a link but you also blanked half the article :) - the preview button is your friend :) No worries though, I've fixed it. -- Tawker 23:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Selfish request
I don't suppose you could create for yourself a userpage, could you? Because when I go through the list of Newly-Created Pages, one of the indicators I use for "possible new user; check all contributions carefully for vandalism/garbage" is a redlink to a userpage.
No big deal, really - just that it would make things a bit easier for me. DS 15:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:Footnotes has an excellent guide to including the footnotes within the article's text. Also, it's good to sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~. Cheers, Olessi 20:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)]

Hey Markwiki! When you accidentally removed some of the info before, is it possible you had mistakenly highlighted a chunk of the text and hit the spacebar, thereby removing it? To restore it, all I had was go to the previous version of the article, highlight and copy the text missing from your edited version, and then paste the missing material at the end of the current article. Hope that helps to explain what I did. If you need help in the future, also keep in mind Wikipedia:Help desk. Cheers! Olessi 02:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

- Though this looks notable, I can find no verify this person's existence. (Many Google hits appear to source from the article here.) The page's creator, on request, could not remember sources (this is an old article), and I've had no response at relevant Wikiprojects in a week.

Social Structure in Kingdom of Kongo article
I have noted your changes in the article on the Kingdom of Kongo and references to matrilineal succession, and also to the chibadi. Please note that I am proposing to remove a good deal of this, and I want you to see this first. The institution you refer to relates to South East Africa, specifically Mwenemutapa and surrounding kingdoms in today's Mozambique and Zimbabwe. They do not relate to the Kingdom of Kongo. You do have a reference to Antonio de Oliveira de Cadornega's book, which is about kibanda in the Kimbundu-speaking portions of today's Angola. However, this institution was not reported in the Kingdom of Kongo, and I have no reason to believe it existed there. There is a discussion of the kibanda in Angola (Kimbundu region) and in Brazil in James Sweet's book Recreating Africa, this is a well documented treatment of the subject. I'll wait a few days to make the changes, so you can consider or discuss it. Beepsie (talk) 18:28, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Today part of
Heya,
do we really need these excessively long lists of "Today part of"? While it's nice that you compiled the information (and it's mostly complete, too), it creates disproportionally large infobox sections esp. for the biger empires like Rome or Byzantium. It looks ugly, and when the list of states becomes the longest item in the box, it kind of defeats the purpose of those infoboxes.
At least I'd suggest dropping the flags and just listing the names in a simple enumeration - "Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Armenia..." and so on.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please also consider the looks and due weight of these lists. :)

Disambiguation link notification for October 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Uncle Remus characters, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Polecat and Croak (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.
