Since you took the time to consider the issues at Talk:Legend (disambiguation)#Merger proposal, I am hoping you might help us consider a related issue at Talk:Legends (TV series)#Call for a vote on hatnote for this page.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I notice that the German section fails to include "Deutsch Bag" from the list of ethnic slurs.
I would also like to add that there is no section for Scandinavians. Being Norwegian myself, I believe it is not out of place for me to recommend adding "sea jew" and "mountain monkey" to the list. Furthermore, I'm requesting that you also add "herring choker" as I have heard it before.
Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.145.152.19 (talk) 19:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed this edit to E. M. Forster where you deleted Category:Bloomsbury Group. Your edit summary noted 'redundant cat', however I don't see where else that category appears in the article. Or does membership of the eponymous Category:E. M. Forster within the Bloomsbury Group category preclude membership of the article itself in the category? I'll admit that I'm not well-versed in the intricacies of categorization, so perhaps I'm missing something that should be obvious to me. Thank you. —Waldhorn (talk) 06:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Julius Caesar (overture), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coda. 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,
We are contacting you because we are Cornell students who are currently taking an Online Communities class and one of our projects consists on editing a Wikipedia page. Our final goal is to accurately inform readers and to improve an article from a C class level to a B. We chose to work on Grace Kelly's page. Since you have previously edited her page, we wanted to reach out to you and ask for any tips, advice, or important aspects that you would like us to consider when we start working. We would like to add features of her personal life, professional achievements, and her legacy in different areas–especially focused on fashion.
Our group members have the following user pages:
- dcl248
In this link you can find our Wikipedia class page and the description of our assignment: Cornell University Online Communities (Fall 2014)
Hopefully we can count on your constructive feedback and hear back from you soon! Kategruenberg (talk) 02:40, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for catching my typo, how did you come across such an obscure article? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:51, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Hiya Jack.
Just wanted to say that I noticed you edited a Byron Bay page not to long ago. Do you luve in the area? It looks so amazingly beautiful!! I live in the u.s. Florida. And the beaches don't look half as nice. I would love to move there one day. Anyway thanks for reading. Bob.173.209.212.244 (talk) 17:10, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello J. I had to smile at this. A fifteen hour long song - if that gets stuck in my head I am done for. I hope that you are well and enjoying your weekend. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 00:56, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
If we really want to find out who was the fattest conductor and who inserted the first infobox to a classical music biography, we need to go to a forum that is better watched than Klemperer. You and I are getting older, - may I remind you that you improved one, before I even joined Wikipedia? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jack, I was wondering if you could point me to the discussion that establishes consensus to move all the saint day articles around to a specific format. Thanks. Gentgeen (talk) 07:29, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
I just looked for a naming convention or guideline for holidays or observances, and didn't find one. Without a consensus to move these hundreds of articles to a specific format, perhaps a discussion should be started, either at Wikipedia talk:Article titles, or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Saints. I note that the wikiproject has naming conventions for the persons themselves, and for buildings named after them, but not one for their feast days. Gentgeen (talk) 07:57, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack,
In response to some of your recent comments on the ref desk: I know we have rules against requests for opinion and debate. I mostly follow them. But there are a few categories that might be considered opinion that I think we should give to askers. For example, I recently asked for a good resource for learning IPA. Someone else recently asked for good book on a topic. The answers I got were ultimately opinions, e.g. the respondents were giving resources that they thought were good. It would be silly to demand a citation to a reliable, third-party reference that says that original resource is good, wouldn't it? I may or may not like the suggestions I got, but a bad suggestion doesn't do me any harm.
On the question of naming a company, I have no interest in offering OP potential names, but figured it doesn't hurt (and might help) to give a reference on the topic. Did I break the rules by responding to a blatant request for opinion, or did I follow the rules because I gave a reference and no opinion? Obviously I see it as the former.
Anyway, with respect to the Iliad/Odyssey question, I agree that it was terse and confusing, and I have no idea why an experienced admin would not think to give a little more background, which could help us provide answers that were less opinion-based. I mostly gave references to WP articles that I thought were relevant, though I did state one opinion, while being very clear that it was only my own opinion. I don't see much harm in that, but I thought I'd explain how I see it. In short, sometimes I do think it's ok to give some light opinion (WP:OR, etc), as long as it is clearly flagged as such and is not the sole contribution the thread. Make sense?

Can you take a look at Murder of Kylie Maybury?
