Thank you for your contributions to Wikiquote. Might I ask that you please use the "Edit summary" feature whenever you edit to provide a terse summary of the changes you make during each edit? This helps folks review article changes from a broad perspective without having to do server-intensive, step-by-step examination of individual edits. If you'd like more information on this, please see Wikipedia:Edit summary or drop me a note on my talk page. Thank you for your assistance. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Please stop adding the "profanities" tag to articles. When doing massive changes on articles, please ask on Village pump first. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 13:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Mitch Hedberg#Warning profanity? for an earlier discussion of the issue. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 13:12, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Re: Profanities tag

Sorry about using a swearing tag without checking first. To be honest I didn’t think it was that big a change. The strange thing is I’m not easily offended by swearing, here in North Wales no one can understand you if you don’t swear at least three times a sentence. Philip Stevens 13:36, 22 December 2005.

No problems -- it was easily reverted. In general, before implementing any change in a large (say more than 20) articles, it is better to ask first, or alternatively be bold in one article, and then ask about others. It's not so much a matter of a big deal as it is a pain to revert. Thank you for your understanding ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 13:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Category:Members of the Parliament of Great Britain

Thanks for creating Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, but as it turns out we already had Category: Members of the Parliament of Great Britain, which should probably be merged into your new category. ~ UDScott (talk) 11:39, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

• I think Category: Members of the Parliament of Great Britain should be kept for MPs who served before 1801 (when the United Kingdom was formed). Philip Stevens (talk) 13:20, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Ah, a good point. Thanks. ~ UDScott (talk) 13:48, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
