Disambiguation link notification for November 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deborah Hyde, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Springfield, Smithfield and Wycombe. 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.

COI

Do you have a COI with Skeptical Inquirer, the CFI, or have you ever published for them? Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 15:40, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

And... are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party? Have you stopped beating your spouse? (The above editor has assigned themselves as Wiki's NSA agent, and has been WP:Hounding me, and now I see I am not alone.) Rp2006 (talk) 23:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Rp2006 I'll gladly answer those questions on my own talk page. I'm surprised you accuse me of hounding when you've replied to my edit here for no apparent reason other than drama. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 23:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

That was a quick response from ACS - I guess she has this page on her watchlist. Interesting. Sgerbic (talk) 23:49, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

To...read Fringilla's reply? I'm unsure what your point is or how interesting it can possibly be, Sgerbic. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 23:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Very interesting Sgerbic (talk) 23:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

OMG. You just said that I am about causing drama. ROTFL. Rp2006 (talk) 00:00, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:19, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. I'll try to be more active as I find it a very important project. MrFringilla (talk) 11:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
