I thought I knew almost all of the spelling differences across the pond, but my OED agrees with you. Thanks. . . Jim - Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 14:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Seeing Jim on here - a "friend" from Commons. Only to say good to see you around - hope all is well. Regards --Herby talk thyme 17:12, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Jim! I'd like to thank you for your help making those corrections for me in the pictures related to Emperor Pedro II of Brazil. It was very kind of your part.
P.S.: I uploaded a better version of Pedro II's 1846 painting. I've noticed that the older one which you used as template for a better version had a "yellowish" tone in it. Could you turn its background white as you did before? Sorry for taking your time. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
You did not state whether you support or oppose at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Chicago Michigan Avenue 1911.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:43, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
The perspex cover is *awful*, because it unnecessarily obscures the antenna and the child's left hand. Anyway, thanks for the edit.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
See you mail on this subject :) --Herby talk thyme 15:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
The image has been removed from the article Torquay for the time being. Compared to the Daily Mail image, it is not really as good as hoped, and all of the photos I took of the mural have some degree of glossy reflection from the perspex, which is annoying. Thanks again for the edit, and I will try to get a better photo of this mural (perspex allowing) at some point.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Smalljim. You may have missed this recent ongoing policy discussion and the sudden resulting discussions at Talk:Peterborough, Talk:Dover, Talk:Plymouth, Talk:Sydenham, Talk:Cornwall & Talk:Cambridge. I think it would be helpful if experienced editors, particularly those knowledgeable on policies regarding settlements, and/or geographical nomenclature, were to offer some comments r advice on what to d next.--Kudpung (talk) 07:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

You recently removed a page on computer aided call handling on grounds of copyright infringement and inappropriate advertising. The commercial aspect was not intentional and should not have been included but the suggestion of copyright infringement was not correct. I would like to reinstate the page but resolve the issues you mentioned. How do I go about this? The intent is to reference content that pertains to the method of computer aided call handling in the same manner as computer aided dispatch does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Completewiteout (talk • contribs) 14:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
You have been going through and replacing "typographer" with "type designer" on several pages. Please stop doing this. They are not synonyms, and in the two instances I noticed, the edit was definitely inappropriate. (Robert Bringhurst, Apple Advanced Typography). Thomas Phinney (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Smalljim, thanks for reviewing Antoinette for DYK! Thought I should also mention that I've stuck Clotted Cream up for Good article status, since I thought we did a pretty decent job of it. Anything else you want to add or tweak, now's a good time! Cheers Worm 09:59, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I looked at your article expansion and made my comments on the DYK site: . Thanks Ekem (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Quickly a mass? Oh I wouldn't go that far, I've been reading into it for a few days, though most of my sources are online (only 1 or 2 from books I already own). Just meant I had to spend a little time getting the stuff together. But thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it.
If you are wondering, I generally get a lot of information from books.google.com, (preview or full view), and news.google.com (archives). I read through, get the info I need, and often save it in a subpage. User:Worm That Turned/To Do, currently I'm filling it with stuff for the Doom Bar article. Then when feeling inspired and that I know everything I can, I write the blasted thing! Anyway, it works for me! Worm 17:18, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I am constantly surprised, though, by how much tweaking and fiddling about is needed to force Google to cough up everything it knows about a subject. For instance, I thought I'd done a pretty comprehensive set of searches regarding Hugh Oldham, when tonight up pops a 60-page pdf all about him from a search on Scholar for "owl Oldham". The document must mention "Hugh Oldham" and "bishop" dozens of times, but it doesn't appear within the top 250 of a web search for 'hugh oldham bishop'. Perhaps it's evidence of my poor search strategies, but maybe it's because Google is more oriented toward trying to sell me things. —SMALLJIM 23:50, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I've just copyedited The Mousehole Cat - hope that's OK, and I see you've got a bit of work to do on Stargazy now - that was a quick response to a GA request, wasn't it?. —SMALLJIM 11:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
On 9 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hugh Oldham, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Bishop Oldham liked to eat punctually on the hour, so when he was late his servant manipulated time to make sure that he did? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thanks for the help with Wilmer W. Tanner. It all started this way. I was supposed to to do a simple copyedit on Painted turtle, then I totally got seduced into content creation. Then I got really intrigued with this mystery of where in Mexico the turtles are found. You see a gazillion articles on the net talking about the turtles as "from Canada to Mexico" and the species is one of the most well studies species in the world, literally hundreds perhaps thousands of papers on it. But I finally tracked down and found out that only two expeditions had ever trapped the animal in one tiny aread of Mexico. Tanner was one of them, and then I got all hot and bothered when I found out the fellow was still alive (101! like living science heritage). Then I wrote and got the picture from special collections at BYU Library and all. I even think it would be a pretty easy "low hanging fruit" to do a followup expeidition to the closed basin rivers of Chihuahua to look for the turtle again.TCO (talk) 00:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.112.138.119 (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. It might be a good idea for you to check if the sources which you've added to this BLP article actually fulfill WP:RS. Sites like nigeriafilm.com (which also hosts modernghana.com and a host of others), are actually operated by 1 (one) person from Holland. Wikipedia's content guideline on Reliable Sources does not define such sources as reliable sources. I agree that Nigerian or African prominent personalities should receive more representation on Wikipedia, yet the articles of Nigerian and African personalities must also fulfill Wikipedia's Content Guidelines and Policies just like every other BLP article.

Hi. Sorry to write this message here, I tried the WP:AIV but the bot removed it. It appears that 212.85.1.10 (talk · contribs) have been blocked by you, but is still editing, only its talk page for now (see its contribs). Just wanted to say it to someone who can do something and I saw you blocked it. Have a nice week. --XonqNopp Tk 13:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Highweek at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Binksternet (talk) 19:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
77.98.96.158 has exceeded warnings with yet another vandalism attempt. I've submitted 77.98.96.158 to the noticeboard, but I'm not been involved in an actual blocking before, so I'm not familiar with whatever else is needed. — fcsuper (How's That?, That's How!)

On 3 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Highweek, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the parishioners of Highweek petitioned the pope for their own graveyard?

Just to let you know that "User:Phonedigs" which was deleted by you in November 2010 has been recreated and has already put on a spam link. Vrenator (talk) 13:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Please see this discussion Talk:Pasty#Recent revert, and add your thoughts, if so inclined. Thanks JoeSperrazza (talk) 16:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Look at the editing history. I think it's time to remove talk page access and/or extend the block.
I've been seeing that "humans being disassembled" vandal pop up a bit more than I'm happy with. There's probably no easy way to go back and look at previous reverts to look at the IP block being used, is there? As often as that editor has hit the Japan-earthquake article with that "disassemble" garbage, and now popping up on other articles involving deaths from natural disasters, it may be time to look at a rangeblock. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 16:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I started a Afd, which is probably redundant at this point, here. I figured it deserved a discussion since it was being recreated like that. You can probably delete it at this point. I do think the name should be salted though. Zell65 (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Good job in blocking that guy. He was typing a lot of nonsense, and he was editing his userpage and mine also. It's funny though; he was warned so many times that a block was hugely deserved for him. I think he was on drugs.

Just as I posted this to the Wikiproject Ireland talk page, I noticed you were starting to revert the various edits of 189.149.191.15 . Yup, there is a a pattern of these edits going back to at least September last. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you've put a block on this IP for one month, but it's an open proxy (do a Google search) and should be blocked for a longer period. GameOn (talk) 08:16, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, the Wikipedia Police seem to have been out in force over the weekend after I added a couple of links to Youtube videos which where of my own creation, therefore no copyright violation took place. After the page being up for years the content has been deemed of no interest to you and removed? I have also changed my username to one that has no promotion value at all although previous user was used for memory rather than promotion though it is understandable that it is blocked.
I have violated no copyright laws, can I please have my page reinstated please?

Unfortunately, the text which that SPA added to this article was cut and pasted from what is presumably a copyrighted promotional biography of the subject, and therefore can't be used despite all the cleanup work you've done. Variations on it, all predating its appearance on Wikipedia, can be found here and here and here ; there are probably others I haven't turned up yet. I warned the SPA about this earlier, but it seems sterner action may be necessary. Thanks. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:27, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
You blocked someone for persistent reverting of his her/ edits yesterday on the Heide Hatry article. Heads up that a new IP editor has re-added information today. I've reverted as unsourced (again) but its the same DOB and also another wild claim. You may wish to keep an eye on the article to see if the same happens Zanoni (talk) 19:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, really sorry for the accidental reversion of your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anglo-Cornish! I have hayfever and sneezed at a really in-opportune moment when I was trying to click on the link to the page itself. Tsk, and I've only had rollback for a couple of days. Again, really sorry!

Hi, please revert a little more slowly at PR Wizzzz Entertainment. I've told the article creator that they need to sort out their mishmash of questionable links and references into something that actually makes clear what is being used as a reference, and whether it is a reliable source. Them adding wikilinks to the various awards they're claiming, actually helps that process (quite apart from making the article a lot easier to read). Removing those wikilinks like in this edit, hinders the process. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! This must be for my deletion of the wrongly-spelt version of Freishia Bomanbehram, as you requested back in May. If I were you, I'd find some more reliable sources for that article, because as it stands its notability is very dubious and it must be susceptible to deletion on that ground. —SMALLJIM 12:37, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
