Greetings, I noticed your message on WikiProject United States about that battleship list. I know it's a real disappointment when you have to work with some people here on EnWP and theWolfChild is a problematic editor at best. If you find the environment here too frustrating and would like a calmer and quieter place to improve articles, I invite you to try editing at the military wiki on Wikia here. I highly recommend changing the skin to monobook from the Wikia skin though. Cheers! 2601:5CC:100:697A:F55F:44A4:194F:D883 (talk) 04:07, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

You've been here 2 days, not "10 years", and you don't have "an edit count that exceeds both of ours", you have (as of now) a total of 15 edits. That's it. Now run along back to "militwikia" or whatever it's called. - theWOLFchild 15:34, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Vami IV,
you have set the Category from "11th-century churches" to "11th-century Roman Catholic church buildings". Is this category correct? During the 11th century it was Catholic, but today it is "Evangelisch" wich is according to my understanding in english something like protestant. So my question: is the category "11th-century Roman Catholic church buildings" in this case correct?
--GodeNehler (talk) 20:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I really don't think it's useful or helpful to readers to put English/Welsh churches in a RC category. All such churches were Catholic in the years before the Reformation, as this was the only church, but they haven't been Catholic for over 400 years. KJP1 (talk) 07:05, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Our article is Catholic Church, not Roman Catholic Church, - perhaps the categories should eventually follow? Before the Reformation, all Christian churches in the West were "Catholic", or better "catholic"=the one common church there at the time. No need to stress "Roman". 11th-century church says enough, - there was no other then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:47, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hey Vami, I see you're changing some project classifications of some church pages that I made from Christianity to Lutheranism. I'm totally fine with that, but I thought I'd let you know I put them as Christianity because they all used to be Catholic churches during the Middle Ages. It's a small thing but I thought I'd let you know my way of reasoning. Stay well, Yakikaki (talk) 15:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Vami, thank you so much for the very thorough GA review that you did for this article. I was thinking of taking it to the next level with a FAC, but the most relevant wikiprojects don't have an active peer review process.

What do you think about expanding Köthen Castle together? Thiking of a DYK for 1 January, complementing the Bach cantata IF it comes as TFA, and mentioning it if not. We could do a 5* expansion, then not before mid-November, or head for GA which is safer, because the other would need quite some length. We could also simply improve it and take some red link for a DYK ;) - Thank you for thoughful comments for the cantata. Do you know about image licenses? - I don't.
