Giacomo Puccini

Bravo! Your material about his early life, family, and education was a really good addition to the article. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 07:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! More to come when I have time. David.thompson.esq (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad you've added to the article also. It's also fun that you and I both have a connection with Mexican Indigenous languages, although as time goes on, I spend more and more of my time with sign languages. AlbertBickford (talk) 01:59, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Regina Casé, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Inspector General (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.

Turandot

Hi David, I see you've made several extensive changes to Turandot. Please remember that you need to fill out the edit summary box for each edit that you make, explaining what you have done and why. Also, please remember that any information you add needs to include a citation, or else it may be deleted without notice. Thanks for your contributions, and happy editing! Softlavender (talk) 04:30, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

I normally do add edit summaries, forgot in this case. Next time! If you compared versions you'll see that what i added was cited and sourced, so I'm not sure what the purpose of the second part of your note is. I moved some material which may not have been fully sourced. Go ahead and delete whatever you think deserves it. David.thompson.esq (talk) 05:34, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Your comments at Hillary Rodham Clinton

FYI, what we do here is discuss stuff. You're welcome to your opinion but it's pretty rude to tell others what they may and may not discuss, tedious to do it repeatedly in the same discussion and puerile to super-bold your stuff. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 01:31, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Move comments in Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request

Hi, I'm asking editors (on both sides of the question) who have made responses to individual !votes in the survey section to move those discussions to subsections in the discussion section. That will keep things tidy. Cheers! bd2412 T 23:42, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXOHLbXwbpfYC1f?Q_DL=e3DsAymc9y4ljrD_eXOHLbXwbpfYC1f_MLRP_6DXiJRmPmzgsR01&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 19:47, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
