Copyediting of History of FC Basel (1939–1965) ↗


{{ping|A Wondrous Raven}} I thought I would make contact about the notice you left on the History of FC Basel (1939–1965) ↗. I've undertaken major rewrites of the 1893-1918 and 1918-1939 pages (which I have since merged). I'm happy for you to edit the page as you see fit but thought I would touch base to let you know there's an example, so to speak, of something similar. There's also been a discussion looking at merging the five history pages so it may be worthwhile having each section follow similar styles. The Voivodeship King (talk) 11:14, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @The Voivodeship King, thank you for reaching out! I'll try to follow a similar format; my first edit was sort of a pass to see what there was to do. I haven't done much copyediting on long articles so I may make some mistakes. (That is okay. Mistakes can still be good for learning.) A Wondrous Raven (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Cat-a-lot is hard



{{self-trout}}<br>
Some very strange edit summaries while trying to figure out how to use cat-a-lot. At least I didn't break anything.

Disambiguation link notification for July 4



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grey Coat Hospital ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Palmer ↗ was added. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Please don't add extra columns to the leaderboard; five are enough :-). Thanks! In solidarity ↗, '''''<span style="color:navy">Mini</span>''''''''''<span style="color:#8B4513">apolis</span>''''' 02:10, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
