MOS:SMALLFONT
[edit]Thanks for your edits to Nick Brown but please bear in mind MOS:SMALLFONT which says not to use small font in infoboxes and the like. Alex (talk) 15:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the information - Is the guidance on small font not to use it or to avoid using it where possible? I believe that it is beneficial to use small font in infoboxes when referring to acting leaders, changes to ministerial or shadow ministerial posts, etc. Finecolours (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Aberavon (UK Parliament constituency) Please note that I changed your edit and why (election results reordered from oldest to newest). If you wish to put the arrow symbols in the results again I will leave them there.
Cheers

[edit]Your contributed article, Opposition frontbench of Keir Starmer
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Opposition frontbench of Keir Starmer. 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 – Shadow Cabinet of Keir Starmer. 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 Shadow Cabinet of Keir Starmer. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it 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 deleted 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. JW 1961 Talk 22:18, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
