Make sure you link them to the yearly pages also for the Oscars! I was going to do more sometime but never got down to it! (One major problem is how many of the remaining people have alternate names as well as people like editors have too many pages to link to), also link them to the foreign articles (most of them have links in German already) Wgolf (talk) 21:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Edwardx, Thank you so much for creating the Pat Ast article! I was going to create the article at some point, but kept putting it off because it seemed a little too daunting for me. Glad you did, you did a fantastic job! ExRat (talk) 06:32, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I saw that you are regularly writing new articles about writers and novelists, and I thought you might be interested in meta:100wikidays which is a great self-driven challenge to write a Wikipedia article every day for 100 days.

He Edwardx - Thank you for creating the articles Will Hobhouse and Henry Hobhouse (author) as well as the Category Hobhouse family. I spent a lot of time researching and writing the article Stephen Hobhouse which you included in your category (Feel free to tinker with it if you have anything to add). Do you have any special knowlege of this large and fascinating family? And are they all related? It is clear that your two Hobhouses are related to Stephen the peace activist. There is a lovely family tree that includes some of the Hobhouse clan in the article Catherine Courtney, Baroness Courtney of Penwith, another Hobhouse relative. Then there is the fascinating Beatrice Webb, sister-in-law to Henry Hobhouse (East Somerset MP), thus an aunt of Stephen. Do you have any ideas about how to bring bit of order to this large and complicated family? Are there any Hobhouses that need articles to be written about them? In any case, kudos on your two articles.--Toploftical (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Hi Edwardx! As it seems like one of your major areas of interest on Wikipedia is biographies for businesspeople, I was wondering if you'd be interested to assist with a few small requests that I have for David Harding's article? He's been in the news recently for his support of the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign but this is not yet reflected in his article. Additionally, there are some details in the current article that either need correcting or updating. In particular, his family details are not accurate. I'd prefer not to make any edits myself as I'm consulting on behalf of Mr. Harding. Do you have a little time to take a look? Thanks in advance, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Edward. I glanced through your talk page archives and saw that RfA had been suggested to you earlier this year and you were considering it. I'd like to add my encouragement for you to run if you get the time. We can always use more admins and I think you would be an exceptionally good chance to be successful if you did put your hat in the ring. I'd be happy to nominate you if you were ever interested, though I appreciate you don't know me from Adam and might prefer a nomination from someone you've collaborated with or even to nominate yourself. Best, Jenks24 (talk) 13:15, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Washington, Hampstead. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Washington, Belsize Park. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Washington, Belsize Park – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

The article Quicksilver (company) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, I am pretty 99% sure that the Philip John May in the Companies House listing is not the same one as the Philip John May moving into number 10. That Philip May is frequently referred to as the Chief Executive of the chemicals company U-POL (here also and this Linkedin page suggests a separate person.

Hi Edward. I hope this message finds you well!
I’m writing to you as I have a CoI and I see that you’ve edited a large number of Wikipedia pages, including many top hedge fund managers and other significant figures in the business and finance space.
I’m looking to see whether you would be interested in adding some information to the Wikipedia page of Alan Howard, hedge fund manager at Brevan Howard, who has asked me to help have it updated.
His current Wikipedia page is a stub: it has some information regarding his professional career, however, there is a lot of information about him that is available online but is not on his page.
I have combined this new information (cited) with the existing page and saved it as a draft on my talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Algo0101
Do let me know your thoughts and if you would be happy to include these additions.
Many thanks - Algo0101
