Ruth Gentry edit
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that we had the same impulse to put up a page for Ruth Gentry—I'd been working on a draft but hadn't finished it when I saw your page. Thank you for getting that up! I've made a few additions but it looks like we found pretty much the same info.Alafarge (talk) 16:53, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
"Women are everywhere" edit
Hi HugSnugBugRug. I'm an editor of the Italian Wikipedia. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks,--Kenzia (talk) 12:39, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Digital Anthropology research edit
Hello HugSnugBugRug, My name is Stephanie Barker and I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Anthropology class, which attempts to answer how the digital world affects culture and how culture affects the digital world. For my final project I am doing an ethnography on women Wikipedia users and as a member of the WikiProject Women page I was hoping I could ask you some questions about your experiences editing Wikipedia pages. 1. Have you ever been locked into an intense editing war? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 2. How did you become interested in editing Wikipedia pages and did you have any initial fears/hesitations when you started editing pages? 3. Have you ever been a victim of a mass deletion or other vandalism on Wikipedia? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 4. How would you describe your gender? 5. Is there anything else you would like to share with me about your experiences as a Wikipedia editor? I would like you to know that I am only sharing my research with my professor and the other students in my class. If you would like me to send you a copy of my final project, I would be more than happy to! Sincerely, Stelba90 (talk) 01:11, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, This is a real puzzle for me. There is a company called Thoma Bravo. At some point not too long ago (you can check the histories) there were two Wiki articles, one called Thoma Bravo, and the other called Thoma Cressey Bravo, because the company used to be called Thoma Cressey Bravo. Correctly, the pages were finally merged, BUT, for some reason, the wrong name was kept, and the correct name became a redirect to the wrong name. The article is fine, but the name is incorrect. I am sorry to say, I have no idea how to move the Thoma Cressey Bravo back to Thoma Bravo. Can you help me with that? Thanks so much.

- A page move was required, but since the existing redirect had to be deleted, only an administrator would have been able to perform the move. You'll note the past tense in the previous sentence; I've switched the article and the redirect around now. Yunshui 雲水 08:46, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
