User talk:Gordon Masterton

Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)[edit]

Hello, Gordon Masterton, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

Please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, please come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We're so glad you're here! henrik•talk 18:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more note[edit]

I noticed you posted comments on the deletion discussion talk page. The usual convention here on Wikipedia is for those comments to be made on the deletion discussion page directly. Another user has moved them to the correct place for you, I hope you don't mind that.

Another tip: You can sign your comments by typing ~~~~ at the end of your comments on talk pages, which helps keep track of who wrote what :-) Sorry for the inconvenience - it is hard to understand all of wikipedia's multitude of policies directly, so please ask me if you have any questions at all. henrik•talk 18:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome and article:William Geddes[edit]

Thanks for creating the William george nicholson geddes article, another past-president off the list to do. I have added my support to it's deletion page and fortunately there seems to be overwhelming support to save it. Don't worry about the lower case name, it's an easy mistake to make and easily solveable.

If you are interested in more Civ Eng related topics please consider joining the WP:CEng project, this is a project that attempts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Civ Eng topics and we are always glad of new members. I have included the details below:

You have been invited to join the WikiProject Civil Engineering, a collaborative effort focused on improving Wikipedia's coverage of civil engineering. If you'd like to join, just add your name to the member list. Thanks for reading!

Finally if you have any questions regarding Wikiproject:Civil Engineering or the ICE past presidents listing please ask at my talk page and I will do my best to answer them for you. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 18:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS: as if to show how easy it is to make mistakes, initially I accidentally posted this to your user page instead of the talk page! Apologies for that.

RE:William Glanville[edit]

Glad to see you back. Thanks for correcting the article, both the Royal Society and the Dictionary of National Biography have got it wrong in their biographies - its nice to see Wikipedia with a more correct article! Cheers, Dumelow (talk) 20:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Skype[edit]

You might note that at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Alan Muir Wood, also introduced some extraneous text around some numerical characters. This may be due to a combination of your browser and Skype trying to identify and highlight telephone numbers. Thank you.--Rumping (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Robert Watson-Watt may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
