Misleading Article Edit Request

The Article List of cities in the United Kingdom is misleading, all of London has city status and not the boroughs of Westminster and the City of London. The information provided on the page is contradicted on every other page related to British cities, please can you permanently change the page back to my edit for a more accurate and less misleading article.

Alternatively you can do something similar to the List of cities in Japan page where Tokyo is shown alongside the internal special wards, but a distinction is made between the two types of "cites" again to avoid confusion and misinformation.

Talk:Farad (disambiguation)

Please don't create empty talk pages for dab pages: see the note at Template:WikiProject Disambiguation which specifically says "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content.". The purpose of a banner is to draw the attention of the relevant Wikiproject, and the Disambiguation WikiProject picks up all disambiguation pages without the need for the banner, or the talk page. The existence of the talk page means that editors will sometimes click on it expecting that it might contain relevant discussion, so wasting their time if it only has this banner. Thanks. PamD 15:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Is there a different way to get XTools to pick up the pagetype for dab pages, then? That's the reason I was adding them. Sharper {talk} 15:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, haven't a clue about XTools. The dab page itself will always be in Category:Disambiguation pages or one of its subcategories, so it presumably uses that? PamD 18:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Use of capital letters in the titles of Canadian federal government ministers

It has been observed that you have edit several articles connected the the federal government of Canada, namely the removal of capital letters from their official titles. Before reversing them, I thought it best to understand the move because it does seem inconsistent with how said Federal Government (websites for the Government of Canada and the Office of the Prime Minister) and the media (local and international) refers to said ministers. Could you please advise?

Hi, I'm not sure I recall which specific edits you're referring to. Could you provide me with some examples? Thanks, Sharper {talk} 18:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Landeskog

Hello Sharper,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Toadspike, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Landeskog, for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at Gabriel Landeskog. Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Toadspike}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
