Disambiguation link notification for December 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Khartuwa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sitalpati (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.

Thanks

Thanks for your work on Portal:Horses. We hadn't updated it in a long time, there are several new GA and FA class articles we need to add, so thanks for getting the New Forest Pony in there; I did a little format fixing, but we needed the ping to get over there. So thanks again. Montanabw(talk) 23:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem. FallingGravity (talk) 02:49, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

You tagged this article as unreferenced - even though it has three sources. I have adjusted accordingly. Regards, GiantSnowman 10:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I'll get on to addressing your comments as soon as I can. Is that all you suggest for me to fix?--Dom497 (talk) 21:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

YouTube Space Lab

Hello!

Thank you for your message. I have read the "YouTube Space Lab" article, and, it looks correct, accurate, and error free. Thank you for creating both articles! This is really cool.

Best,

Article Feedback deployment

Hey FallingGravity; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:42, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Natchez Massacre citations

Hi, I noticed you activated the Citation bot multiple times on the Natchez Massacre article. I've reverted because book and journal page numbers (in fact, any page numbers cited in a source used many times in an article) belong in the footnotes and not in the bulleted list of sources below the footnotes. See WP:SFN. Thanks. Jsayre64 (talk) 03:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Why thank you. Do you think the gaming guide idea sounds like a good idea? There is deleted gaming guide content on the wiki so that's why I might need an administrator's help to get the text for those. Do you think Video Games Wiki can be considered the Wikipedia wiki for gaming guide content? Gaz and Gaming Fan (talk) 00:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

It probably depends on how you gather collaboration. I'm sure there are other video game guide wikis out there, but if you think your project can offer something unique, I say you go for it! FallingGravity (talk) 00:41, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
There is [1] too though. I just happen to think ShoutWiki is a better wiki farm, despite not being notable enough. Ah well. Thank you for being so enthusiastic about this project :). I'm hoping to gather help for this project and move the deleted gaming guide content pages onto Video Games Wiki. You can help too if you want. Gaz and Gaming Fan (talk) 00:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Miriam Makeba

Hello, thanks for removing the inappropriate text at Miriam Makeba (see some relevant discussion about it on the talk page). However, I reverted your second edit to the article for the reason I gave in my edit summary. Graham87 06:57, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, that's fine. Thanks for notifying me. :) FallingGravity (talk) 07:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Correct procedure for requesting an article renaming

I noticed how you kept adding a request directly to WP:RMC in spite of the edit notice, only to see it removed by the bot. I have now entered the request at Talk:People like Us (film)#Requested move where the bot will locate it in due course. Favonian (talk) 08:27, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for getting all the procedure/templates/robot stuff fixed for me. It probably would've been nice if the bot had dropped me a message, but ah well. FallingGravity (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Edit on controversy section on on K. P. Yohannan

Because of your edit I found that I had made a mistake. I had removed the whole topic and would like to change the topic as follows. Kindly check and let me know if its as per the standards

On 06 February 2003 K P Yohannan was consecrated as the first Bishop of Believers Church by the moderator of Church of South India Bishop K J Samuel. This move stunned the christian community as in a normal course only a priest can become a Bishop and Mr Yohannan was only a pastor. Opposing factions in the CSI in a letter to the moderator and other Bishops raised doubts on motive behind the action of the Believers Church and declared that Believers Church is not a part of Church of South India. ( reference:- http://www.indianexpress.com/news/an-archbishop-s-spiritual-factory/323561/ , http://www.hindu.com/2003/02/10/stories/2003021003650400.htm) Benedictdilton (talk) 18:12, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

I'd say this looks better because it makes clear where the controversy comes from, not just stating "so and so did something that was not normal" and placing it under a Controversy section. FallingGravity (talk) 00:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I have addressed your comment that you made on the review page.--Dom497 (talk) 13:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi again, just wondering if you could take a few minutes to review the List of Kings Island attractions list that I nominated for FLC status. The review has stalled and I need some more opinions. If you don't want to review it, don't have the time, etc, its ok, I understand. :) --Dom497 (talk) 14:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of David Roitman

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article David Roitman you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.   This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Moswento -- Moswento (talk) 08:32, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of David Roitman

The article David Roitman you nominated as a good article has failed  ; see Talk:David Roitman for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

OER inquiry

Hi FallingGravity, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:40, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
