Hi, Jim:
I doubt you remember me, but you helped once or twice in the past with a new article (though I forget which). How are you?
Thank you for your compliments on my Catalinas Norte expansion, and above all, for adding it to our growing collection of Spanish-language, Argentine-related pages on the English Wikipedia. I had meant to do it over a year ago, but you know how it is: time constraints get in the way, and a lot of little ideas end up forgotten (I don't know why I don't write them down). Having to fend off troublemakers in need of a life (and, consequently, with nothing better to do than disrupt us all), as I've been doing for about a week now, certainly doesn't help.
I'll be happy to add pages for some of the more notable buildings in Catalinas Norte. You may notice that I left a red-link for Bouchard Plaza (my favorite), and I don't see why I can't add a few of the others. The Sheraton, for example, was an excellent idea, since the "Hotels in Argentina" category is terribly incomplete. Having said that, I'll admit that my first impulse was to keep most of these as part of the Catalinas page by way of covering them with an umbrella article of sorts, since but for a couple of exceptions, these 30-odd story curtain walled buildings are very ordinary. And there is so much noteworthy architecture in Buenos Aires waiting to be translated from the es wiki.
A good place to start looking, if you're curious about Buenos Aires architecture or would like to add to the English-language list thereof, is in the Spanish-language counterpart to the Buildings and structures in Buenos Aires cat. The city can't hold a candle to London, Paris, or New York, but there are certainly a lot of unnoticed gems. A friend of mine from elsewhere in Latin America once told me, after visiting, that it felt like touring an outdoor museum (well, on a quiet summer Sunday, and sans the billboards).
Again, Jim, thanks for your note. Let me know what you think.

I wanted to let you know that I am retiring from Wikipedia effective this weekend. This is not to policy, other users, or Wikipedia itself. My priorities have changed in the fact I am engaged to be married later this year along with a job-related exam this October.
I wish to thank you for working with me on various issues in Wikipedia. Chris (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I intend to incorporate the Liberty Place article by merging One and Two Liberty Place articles into Liberty Place. It is not ready yet though. There is still some missing information that I will hopefully get done soon. Then I'll get the information on the "live" article. Medvedenko (talk) 16:05, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey Jim. Another reason for using serial commas is that they eliminate confusion. Take the sentence "The government must provide roads, airports, hospitals and harbors." Courts have held that in construing the meaning of that sentence, the final phrase "hospitals and harbors" is a single term. In order to avoid such construction, a serial comma is used to clearly indicate that the two terms are distinct. I did not use serial commas for years because I believed they are unnecessary. But I started using them, convinced by the legal reasoning about clarity. - Tim1965 (talk) 16:04, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Saw you wrote on her talk page that she was born in 1954 and later agreed with another editor that she was actually born in 1966. One of the many things that makes wikipedia unreliable is that rarely do people use sources like articles or interviews as sources, instead they use their own imagination. In every interview from newspaper articles to Rob Paulsen's Talkin Toons' podcast Candi Milo said that her birthdate is 9 January 1961. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radiohist (talk • contribs) 22:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Haha, I don't remember us making any kind of deal... But well, I'm translating other articles right now, so this one will have to wait a little. In the meantime, why don't you leave a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Brazil, requesting help from more people? Victão Lopes I hear you... 02:56, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I have noticed you making some stylistic changes to articles that do not conform to the WP:MOS. Please review the MOS regarding punctuation inside or outside quotes. In Wikipedia, generally, the punctuation goes outside the end quote, unless it is inside in the source being quoted. Also, many editors do not prefer the serial comma (which is optional), so please do not add it to articles unless the regular editors of the article don't mind. In general, the MOS says ["defer to the style used by the first major contributor" unless a consensus can be reached to the contrary].

Using sister to refer to related properties is common usage. Why does it have to be gender neutral? This is common English. I suppose you will want to change the Mother Road to something else also.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Spumoni (typeface) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spumoni (typeface) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ... discospinster talk 21:46, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Jim -- I posted this message to the Populous (Company) page a while back. Any chance you might be able to assist?
"Hello, all. I recently joined Populous as an employee and am seeking editors' help in making the company's page stronger per Wikipedia's guidelines. It seems the need for additional citations for verification stems from the article's introduction text. Does this sound right to you all?

An article you recently created, Tribunal de Paris, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article Centro Empresarial Internacional Rio has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus.

MOS:STYLEVAR states that "[E]nforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus, is never acceptable."
It's quite telling that you only target the articles I successfully nominate for In the news Recent Deaths (i.e. George Armstrong (ice hockey), Sibusiso Moyo, Shingoose and now Thorburn). No one else's. Yet you don't contribute any content creation to these areas, other than your incessant nitpicking on one or two words (not to mention your misuse of the minor edit button). I'm not saying your apparent obsession and WP:WIKIHOUNDING over the articles I edit reaches the level of Wenger over Mourinho, but it's getting there … —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
You add 4 characters and mis-characterize that as a "simplification"? Wow, just wow. I'm not required "to accept such simplification" because it's not approved by consensus (you know, the way decisions on WP are primarily made). Show me an ITN that you've successfully promoted to the Main Page, then we'll talk. Until then, keep up with your obsession over my content creation – it's getting you nowhere. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:23, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
