Greetings

Hello, I am one of those who revived the aquostic 2 article. I don't often write for the wiki and I'm glad you liked the result.

In general, I share your view that those who like to delete a little too much and insist on rules usually get their bills in the end. Please feel free to write to me if one day an article or passages of yours are regularly deleted, I will participate in the article as far as I can do it.

Disambiguation link notification for June 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gamebook, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lone Wolf. 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) 06:55, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from W. Heath Robinson. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. No, it's there for a valid reason, which I explained when I added it. Since the BBC does not name the dictionary or even give a firm publication date it suggests that there may not be such a dictionary. They certainly did not fact check it or they would not have used such loose wording. This article and Rube Goldberg have both had problems with improperly sourced claims about when their names became dictionary terms. Meters (talk) 01:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And the same comment on Rube Goldberg machine. It's there for a valid reason. Meters (talk) 01:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I inserted a new source and quoted directly from it in that article. These edits are not the same. Do you have access to the OED? Elliott-AtomicInfinity (talk) 02:02, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I read your source. It is just the same as all of the other supposed sources for this claim that I have looked at. None of them have actually given the name of this mysterious dictionary. And when the BBC (which I certainly trust to do more fact checking that Apollo Magazine) can't even give a definite date, I suspect that this may be folklore rather than fact. I yes I have access to the OED. So what? It certainly wasn't in in the OED as a dictionary definition in 1912. The first usage they list for the user of "Heath Robinson" as a noun is from 1917, and that for "Heath Robinson contraption" from 1934. Meters (talk) 02:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
