for your good work at Harvey S Firestone Memorial. It was a work that I became very excited about and I don't always do my best work in a manic frenzy. Life is good, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:04, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

for all your hard work in adding coordinates to Dorset and Hampshire geography articles. Thank you! Bermicourt (talk) 17:06, 11 July 2013 (UTC) |
until I realized you first updated the indianapolis museum of arts coords. I couldnt imagine how cut and paste would have *almost* the right numbers. in any case, thanks for fixing. ~~
Hello,
This edit broke the infobox (it wasn't closed properly, and so moved to the bottom of the page and merged with the commons links. Please pay better attention next time. Neukoln (talk) 06:59, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
Wrote the libretto for Jane Annie so you are wrong. Please revert your edit.MacRùsgail (talk) 15:31, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

There are quite a few people I know who despaired that this article would ever get written. Well done! A tremendous start. --Brian Fenton (talk) 13:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Talk page consensus only exists right now because admins keep closing the discussion without noticing the "relisted" part from two days ago. The song is titled "Journey through the Decade" in Japan where it was released. I cannot for the life of me understand why, despite the fact that I've provided a half dozen sources that show the title, "through" must be capitalized for a Japanese song. It is very clearly a deliberate choice and it's not just because the record label and every news agency I found has their own identical manual of style, thus requiring Wikipedia editors like myself to include this unnecessarily redundant piece of text. Why should Wikipedia come up with a form that has never existed just because some manual of style we copied says "prepositions of more than 5 letters must be capitalized"?—Ryulong (琉竜) 17:06, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello Deor, thank you for your correction of the infobox. Cordially. Christian COGNEAUX (talk) 11:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the coords of an infobox I recently migrated. If you have time, the coords of Madina, Hyderabad and Lakkidi, Palakkad also need verification. I tried to correct the numbers as I migrated, but didn't find an accurate source in a quick search. I left some details on the talk pages, if you are interested. Cheers! -PC-XT+ 04:13, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Deor. Unfortunately wiki doesn't break down County Wicklow by Historic Division - whether Barony, Poor Law Union or Civil Parish (there are two civil parishes named Kilbride, both with townlands and villages called Kilbride. I could simply tag it 'West Wicklow', but since this isn't an historic or official designation it would seem a bit vague. It would be more appropriate to list the Barony but.... I am trying to add a page listing the baronies civil parishes of Wicklow, which could provide a solution but having difficulty with the simple task of importing an Excel Table into Wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Killimordaly (talk • contribs) 19:54, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Hey Deor. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
I realized that the page I was referring to, WP:MOSDAB, is in conflict with the page you were referring to, WP:HOWTODAB. According to WP:POLICYLIST, the manual of style has policy status, while the "how-to" page is just an editing guideline. I believe that when advice pages contradict one another, it's best to stick with the policy. If you disagree, please seek a third opinion; otherwise, let's stick with the strategy that policy says is less confusing, which is not to list redirects on disambiguation pages.--~TPW 12:57, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing that text duplication error in Bob Jones University. I believe it's the result of a text editor bug in the iPad browser. I had a similar problem earlier this year with . I'm not sure how to properly report this sort of error to WP tech support people. Any thoughts? jxm (talk) 05:10, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
What are your thoughts on this closure? GabeMc (talk|contribs) 19:44, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for fixing the coordinates on article Krastata Kazarma. During my last saved edit I didn't use preview, so I noticed something went wrong just after I saved the edit. I noticed that I forgot just the "E" argument after the longitudinal values, and I actually added it, but forgot to press "Save page", because I had Facebook open in another tab and two friends were messaging me. I totally forgot about the article, but after I closed Facebook I returned to the Wikipedia tab and clicked "Save page" only to find that you already fixed it. Plus, you made it much more properly than me (I still haven't learned how the coordinates thingy in Wikipedia works...) So, thanks :) (I'm explaining all that because I don't want anyone to think that I would leave an article in a broken state without trying to fix it. That should teach me not to procrastinate urgent edits. And also, not to allow Facebook to distract me... Though I am prone to be very distracted most of the time, unfortunately...) 77.70.30.216 (talk) 13:46, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Deor! I attract you mind at Sardhana page where you undid my revision yesterday. I want to know you the fact that a mahapanchayat held at Sardhana tehsil at Meerut district. that's why i add this fact to this page. Thanks --Prateek Malviya (talk) 06:08, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for helping, but I'm checking them and would rather fix them. Would you avoid reverting the edits? -- 签名 sig at 16:32, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for filling the geocoordinates for me. I was just creating some sandbox pages so that I could eventually remove the redlinks on Connecticut prisons, but any help is welcome. Eggishorn (talk) 20:50, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Dactylic hexameter may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Of course they are if you see Artemis's page (who is a twin of Apollo) it is stated that Aphrodite, ARes, Heracles,Persuas etc. are siblings of Artemis. Or if you go to Zeus's page you can see them in the children section.
So next time if you wanna unedit someone's edit please confirm it :)

hi Deor, thank you for your message. I tried putting the correct format for the template but could just not figure it out. Thank you for explaining it to me. Gryffindor (talk) 16:01, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Also thanks for the Somali Pirate edit. KellyCoinGuy (talk) 03:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of tallest buildings and structures in the world, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lushan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello there. Since the Anime and Manga RfC seems to have developed a consensus for the "It depends on notability and uniqueness of each adaptation", I have started a thread to see if we can offer metrics or further guidance for such case by case... erm... cases. I have no idea if such a thing is even possible to draft up, but since having it might help, I figured I'd try. The thread is HERE, and as a previous participant in the RfC I wanted to let you know about it using this overly long, rambling message. Cheers, Sven Manguard Wha? 16:12, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Obviously you have issues with me so get them off of your chest and we can try to rectify the situation. As you do a lot of work with coordinates and geo articles I'm guessing that you've formed some (wrong opinion) of me based on short stubs I created years back in an effort to try to address systematic bias on here and remain somewhat angry at me because I didn't write fuller articles on them which has shown itself during the AFD. I agree that it wasn't the best approach to encyclopedia building but I've done a lot of good work here, more than my fair share, and it is most unsettling to see such a rather nasty reaction from yourself. What's the problem?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:01, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis
Hi Deor, unfortunately I don't know anything about bicorns except for Lydgate's poem...but from the context of Chichevache and Bycorne it's obviously supposed to be a bull, not a unicorn with two horns. I don't know what the image is or where it's from, and I don't know why an archaeology museum would have a medieval tapestry, but there are lots of other museums in Dresden. I have no idea, sorry!

In response to your merger proposalTalk:Mornington railway station#Merge discussion dated June 16 2010,I have merged the two articles in the same way you had suggested. Deor there is currently a backlog of 11,750 articles to be merged awaiting someone to merge them or remove the merge tag if the consensus has denied merger. I am working to clear this backlog . Deor it would be a great help to wikipedia from your side if you also contribute your valuable time in this merger work.Skr15081997 (talk) 11:25, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
