Disambiguation link notification for July 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Funeral of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Great West Road and Rolls Royce (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.

Edit warring

I strongly suggest you don't start edit warring. You've made your bold edits to the status-quo and have been reverted. WP:BRD thus guides you to find a consensus in favour of your chagne or some compromise or acceptable alternative. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:51, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

"Long-standing" and "status quo"

In what way is ] "long standing" or the "status quo" on any of those Canadian incumbent lists? What was long standing was ] and you were not restoring that. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:11, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

King regnant

Please don't add this link to articles. The phrase is extremely rare, and it contravenes WP:EGG. DrKiernan (talk) 19:11, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I also suspect that linking common words like king and queen is WP:OVERLINKING. Before continuing to add such links, please ask for opinions either at a general project page or the Manual of Style talk page. DrKiernan (talk) 19:21, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Flag of Canada

There was no distinct monarchy of Canada in 1911. (And don't go linking to Monarchy of the United Kingdom there, as that will be in contravention to WP:EGG (if all this linking to different articles from 'King' and 'Queen' isn't already).) --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 17:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Edit summaries, multiple consecutive edits

Hello, Glenmeister. Here are a couple editing suggestions for you to consider:

• Please make a habit of providing an edit summary when you make a change to an article. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edit.
• Plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. This keeps the page history of the article less cluttered.

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric 23:37, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
