Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Page merger

[edit]

Hi there! While reviewing new pages, I came across your work on John Youl (missionary). Wikipedia already had a page on this subject (John Youl (priest)), and since we tend to keep the pages with the older histories, I merged your (excellent!) content into that page, allowing it to be a full-fledged biography of the subject. If you think it would make more sense to call the page "John Youl (missionary)", feel free to propose a move at WP:RM (or just let me know; as a page mover I can make what would likely be an uncontroversial move), but please don't restore the previous page that you created since we don't need duplicate pages on the same subject. Thanks for your contributions to the project! Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:25, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dclemens1971,
Thank you for bringing to my attention the existence of a previously published article on the same subject. Although I had noticed the similarity, the new article had already been created by the time I became aware of it. I appreciate your diligence in identifying the duplication and for taking the initiative to consolidate the content by transferring the relevant material to the original article.
Best regards. Helloskippy (talk) 17:12, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mahine Teheiura, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Bennet. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
