Thanks! What made you pick me to ask for help?

Here is a spot where I found an image that might have David Bethea in it. Conflicting things about the copyright status of the image. MonkeyBBGB (talk) 01:16, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I saw some of your work on articles and read your userpage. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Yeas and Nays

Hi! I just wanted to point out for the future that the archaic term for a yes vote in the US is spelled "yea", not "yay" (as it’s pronounced).

Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Good to know. I’ve been thinking about simplifying the past map I made. So I might take this as my impetus to do so. MonkeyBBGB (talk) 00:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Revert

Hello. I was working on Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) and due to the large amount of vandalism I mistakenly revented one of your edits. I'm sorry and I was able fixed the revert and it should be back to normal. Once again sorry and if you have any questions please ask. Thank you LuxembourgLover (talk) 19:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Which edit did you undo? I added a commons box but I don’t see it on there anymore. I’m on mobile currently so I can’t add it back. I’d like to have the commons box since I’m a commons editor mostly, and I’ve been adding lots of stuff on Johnson this afternoon. I believe he will likely get a lot more attention now as Speaker so it feels relevant to have. SDudley (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

I reverted this edit. I saw a user remove a large part of the article and I miss clicked on your edit and reverted it. LuxembourgLover (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok thanks! Looks like it was you who removed the box. It seems to still be gone. So someone else must have removed it. I'll see if I can add it back once the mass editing lessens. SDudley (talk) 20:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

I hope it makes the article better :> Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 23:59, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! That looks really cool. I love that Oswald pose. The issue I have with the page is trying to get the lists to be formatted further down the page so that the shorts won't look so tiny. SDudley (talk) 00:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, I'm not a technical guy so can't really help with formatting, sorry :< Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 00:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

My Man Godfrey (1957 film)

Why did you add to the lead of My Man Godfrey (1957 film) that its copyright was renewed? I don't see anything about it being in the public domain. Why is the copyright renewal worthy of mention at all? -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

The original film from the 1930s is public domain, while still under an indirect copyright restriction as derivative of a still copyrighted work. It felt important to note that this later adaptation was still under copyright in comparison to the original. SDudley (talk) 15:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Stating that directly might make more sense. The current wording is puzzling. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I can fix it. Thank you for the note! I appreciate this :) SDudley (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
