Hi Emily! I assume this is automated - regardless, thank you for the friendly advice and signposts! It's much appreciated. Glad to be here. ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 22:24, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited History of the British canal system, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tramway. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Charles Talbot, 15th Earl of Shrewsbury, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from WiMAX, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I don't think nominating it for articles for deletion is a good idea either. Graham87 (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, having slept on the problem and thought about it some more, I actually agree with you contesting the deletion after all. I now suspect it wouldn't be too bad to clean up.

1. Change it to "was a standard" or "is an obsolete standard" in accordance with lots of other wireless mobile protocol articles from older generations

2. Provide an intro statement and a citation for it having lost the format war to LTE, ideally with reasoning (some limited research suggested that it didn't work well in moving vehicles, but I want a reliable citation for claims like that)

3. New "decommissioning" section at the end for its code being removed from the Linux kernel due to no known implementations or users worldwide, and related tech WiBro being switched off in South Korea in 2018

4. Article cleanup to remove marketing fluff, outdated predictions of deployment, some jargon

I'll try to tackle it in the future. There's a few other obsolete 3G network standard articles that need the same treatment, someone enthusiastically wrote articles about them in good faith in the 2000s and they never got updated when they didn't catch on. I'm going to add them to my editing list. ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 00:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read [[WP:OVERLINK]] . Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 17:21, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@David J Johnson Interesting, and new to me.

whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from. Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, words and terms understood by most readers in context are usually not linked.

:Examples include: :Everyday words (e.g., education, violence, aircraft, river, animation)

that seems pretty clear cut to me, runway has to go. Thanks for the tip ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 21:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
