Re: Barnstar
Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it. Just curious: does having an image on her page have any particular significance to you? I wasn't really expecting many people to notice that photo. But thanks again! Delaywaves • talk 23:43, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Prod
Baeriran, I simply don't agree with the prod for Digital Luxury Group. They are quoted by some of the world's leading publications (NYT, WSJ, FT, AFP, Reuters), as well as by media in China, Russia, etc. If you think there's other ways the page can be improved, I'd be interested to know. I did make some improvements after you first prodded the article. Plot Spoiler (talk) 22:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Just to say thank you for the research on consensus, and related AFDs at this discussion. And for the open-minded approach. Mcewan (talk) 00:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah T. Hughes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Western High School (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Articles for deletion

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You have been trouted because you commented on an articles for deletion debate that was already closed. This is not a big deal, but I figured I would just like you know. TBrandley (what's up) 23:26, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Articles_for_deletion/Commoners_in_the_United_Kingdom
Hello. I am leaving this message for those who commented on the recent AfD discussion on the article "Commoners in the United Kingdom." The discussion was closed by an admin with the comment "The result was no consensus. To delete, that is. But consensus that this should be editorially improved, e.g. by making it a dab page." I am not sure what articles a "dab" page ought to be linked to, so if someone wants to go ahead and do this, or discuss it on the talk page of the article, that would be fine. In the meantime I will remove the tags on the article as it was improved by Mcewan during the discussion, and I will continue to watch the article to make sure that that business about members of the royal family being "technically commoners" does not make a reappearance in the article without a reliable source.Smeat75 (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Barnstar thanks!
I actually had tried to sort of tread carefully in that article ... I figured you might have felt strongly about it and not wanted to see too much changed. But at the same time I felt it needed a bit more heft in those areas, and I'm trying to make sure, as part of the long-term project I and UpstateNYer have to bring the Albany NRHP list to featured status, that all the articles that list points to are the best they could be (I have one more to go before I can work on that list proper). So I just wanted to add to the building and history section. Glad you were OK with it!
Funny, BTW ... you are the first other user to award me that particular barnstar. I thought someone else had, but ... no, you're the first. So thanks again! Daniel Case (talk) 06:53, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know you're the guy I should talk to about this (honestly, I just looked at the list of admins, pulled out a name and looked at his contributions, and that's how I found you), but could you look at the adages I put to the Wikipedia article Last Chants for a Slow Dance? This is the first time I've made a big edit to an article on Wikipedia.
How I found the movie was I read the synopsis for the film in this book called 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. The plot summary from the book seemed to the up-to-the-point. (No doubt it would probably be a lot easier if I actually saw the movie but that might be easier said than done!) Should I cite that book as one of my sources? (I wasn't sure because I didn't quote anything verbatim from the book.)
Please give me article advice on my talk page. Thanks! The Uncyclopedian (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
