May 2022 edit

  Hello, SwensonJ, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Memworking (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello DrKay, thank you for raising this concern with me. I can assure you that this is my sole account and I have not been working with others outside the site for editing or otherwise. I do, however, edit Wikipedia on this account from multiple devices, including a mobile phone and laptop. I don't know how Wikipedia's editing patters are established but perhaps said devices are the cause for the indication that I am running multiple accounts. Thanks again.

DrKay, I can confirm that I have not coordinated with this user.Memworking

Alexander Hamilton portrait edit

Hi! I saw that you reverted my edit on Alexander Hamilton in which I changed Hamilton's portrait. I do have my own reasons and would like to consult you (on why you changed back the image, of course) to avoid an edit war. Luxtay the IInd (talketh to me) 16:30, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hey there! I simply reverted the edit because I wasn’t sure if it was done for genuine reasons or just as a one-time edit and also didn’t know if any consensus had been reached on the page. I personally prefer the old photo but as you reached out to me I can see that you have your own reasons. This issue isn’t a big point for me so I respect your edit and don’t feel the need to revert it again. I’m sure this could be discussed with more active editors of the page on the talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for July 5 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Criticism of The Da Vinci Code, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Council of Nicaea. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
