Hi, Omnedon. The King and I has been nominated for FAC. I know that you have reviewed articles in the musical theatre area before. It would be great if you could take a look at the article and give comments at the FAC. Thanks for any time you could spare! -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:28, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
I've never seen anything quite like this before -- a good editor leaving Wikipedia on principle, and another editor saying "Good riddance" in response. Such immaturity, regrettably, deserves mention. Omnedon (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Please read the reference in the middle name in the article. This reference from the University of Virginia, says "Fine", not "Finis".--212.22.51.31 (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Omnedon. I just saw your post at User talk:MerlLinkBot asking the bot to update two links. Since my bot is approved for the same task as MerlLinkBot, I was going to run the task myself but I noticed that http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/2010_place_list_17.txt and http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/2010_place_list_18.txt don't work either (the links you wanted the dead links to be replaced with). Would you be able to find where the links have been moved to? If so, I would be glad to run the task. -- Cheers, Riley 04:33, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Omnedon. I was wondering if you have a map available of Hendricks County which shows the towns and townships but does not have any townships highlighted. Large PNG image, ideally. I am creating a website which will include an interactive map search based on towns & townships which will highlight when hovered over. I am having no luck finding any quality maps of the county other than what you have done. Thanks. Bburgdaddy0 (talk) 19:29, 1 May 2013 (UTC)BburgDaddy0
Per your comment "[editor]'s behavior hasn't changed one bit since the ANI." I think the understanding was that that particular editor is by nature wordy and has asked others to tell them when to stop. In the case of the recent RM, an admin reviewed the situation and determined that everything was under control and that no intervention was needed. I personally thought that the onus of having to go find an admin every time said editor gets too wordy was unusual, but I do see that as the best solution, and a necessary step, as other editors do not always have as much judgement as is expected from an admin. Our admins tend to be relatively responsive, and few editors have ever had any trouble finding an admin to step in when needed (recently I had one speedy delete a file seconds after I made the mistake of tagging the wrong file out of two, and it was gone before I could mark the right file).

Yes it was a mistake. Sorry. When I view the history of the page it tell me that all the edits since my last one are "updated since my last visit", so I must have hit the wrong button, but as it was a error I have no recollection of it. -- PBS (talk) 12:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Jefferson Davis you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by GA bot, on behalf of Retrolord -- Retrolord (talk) 08:56, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
I've reverted an unsourced infobox flag based on discussion page section up for two weeks. Please let me know what your thoughts are, as I do not want to be disruptive, only scholarly. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 10:07, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
The article Jefferson Davis you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Jefferson Davis for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by GA bot, on behalf of Pyrotec -- Pyrotec (talk) 20:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
The article Jefferson Davis you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Jefferson Davis for comments about the article. Well done! Message delivered by GA bot, on behalf of Pyrotec -- Pyrotec (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

All best, -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:56, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Not sure what's happening here, but my browser (Firefox 23.0.1) will not display the text string 'Radclyffe Hall' when that string is enclosed by square brackets, such as to define a Wikilink. For example - the title of this section has the string 'Radclyffe Hall' written twice, the first being enclosed, the second not and I can only see one title. Hmmmmm...any ideas?

Sorry about adding that link for James Swanson on the Davis article; I could have sworn that Swanson had an article, but apparently I misremembered. I was just about to revert it when I saw that you beat me to it. KConWiki (talk) 13:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi again - Could you take a look at the Davis talk page? There is a slight mix-up with a couple of citations. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 14:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Jojhutton is on a campaign that as much as possible will remove YMD format from wikipedia. I have reverted a few of his edits, but the wider community will need to be alerted to what is going on. --JimWae (talk) 21:06, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for going the extra mile to help promote Jefferson Davis to Featured Article status. One behalf of the article's readers, I award you The Biography Barnstar. Please accept it --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 07:27, 4 November 2013 (UTC) |
On a similar theme... Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Jefferson Davis to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA you may have helped to write) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,336 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks, BencherliteTalk 11:13, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

You recently contributed to a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) § Commas in metro areas. Following a recent related RFC on the wording used at MOS:COMMA in relation to geographic names, a new wording has gathered some support and I have opened a new RFC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style § RFC: Proposed amendment to MOS:COMMA regarding geographical references and dates for further discussion of the proposal, which may interest you. —sroc 💬 08:37, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
