in popular culture edit

Hello Speight! I just like to inform you that the article you started about Coastal Giant Salamander was briefly shown (half a second or so) in the movie Whip It. About one hour and 16 minutes into the movie. --Boivie (talk) 19:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I thought it was decided yesterday. :-) Thanks for fixing it.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Baby Ruth edit

Hi, Speight! Believe it or not, you reverted the only edit of a Wikipedia article during the blackout. Oh, and the edit was done by User:Mdennis (WMF), a staff member at Wikipedia.  ;-) Stubbleboy 05:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I was actually trolling the RecentChanges during the blackout (shame on me for getting around the block by disabling JavaScript). That's how I noticed that the page needed further reverting to an earlier version than the one chosen by Mdennis. But perhaps it's fitting that as a result there ended up being zero persistent main-namespace edits during the blackout. Speight (talk) 05:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Help Survey edit

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,
