Are you sure about your edit that the Lady Cunard mentioned is the wrong one? The parentage of Nancy Cunard seems to support the statement that the widow of the 3rd Baronet was indeed the person referred to. MisfitToys 22:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I think we have it now. MisfitToys 23:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I moved the page from Joe Gordon (baseball player) to Joe Gordon if that's ok with you. It's obviously the most well known Gordon as the rest been redlinks for a while. If a article is created on them a dablink can be formed. I'll fix the links. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 05:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello here's some info on it if you want to add or re-word if it makes sense: Pliny the Elder, implied that the apricot was a kind of plum, and had originally come from Armenia. Thus the scientific name for apricot became the starting point for mythology and verifying narratives to explain the Armeniaca name. Nareklm 00:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I see you have been deleting cats from several articles on recently died sports people, can you explain me why? SportsAddicted | discuss 05:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your careful edits of this article. I have entered a new edit to respond to your good question on Punta Gorda. You are correct that it is a lighthouse in Humboldt County, but it s also a coastal point in S California. cheers. Anlace 05:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could update the wiki-table of current Governors in the Democratic Governors Association article to reflect the 2006 election results. I would do it myself, but I am not very familiar with wiki-table formatting. --TommyBoy 00:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, MisfitToys. Thanks for the valiant effort to help the Jeannette Piccard article. It looks like it led to a maze of pages and some proposed merges. I wish you luck straightening them all out. I tried to incorporate those into a reworded sentence, a little expanded from your edit, which I am happy to discuss. Thank you also for your expansion of the conflict in the Episcopal Church. Best wishes. -Susanlesch 03:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
We appreciate your copy-editing but this article is up for FA after a year of hard work and you are introducing multiple errors. Please show just a bit more caution. Thank you. DMorpheus 01:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I do appreciate your edit of the article, but the reason we (the Scouting project) don't put country/association specific links of this nature in international scope articles is that the editors from the other countries complain about the article becoming (usually BSA/America) country specific. Rlevse 00:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you had edited the article Executive Order 9835 in the past, which is now up for peer review. Eventually this will be followed by an attempt at Good Article status and maybe one day, FA. Any input and or editing help you could or wanted to contribute would be greatly appreciated. I think the article is good and has the potential to be great. Thanks in advance. A mcmurray 05:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Any reason you deleted two valid links to this article? For most of his life, McCarty has lived in San Francisco and is a naturalized citizen. Please revert. Ronbo76 21:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Right now there are very few articles on Lutheran churches, and several have been recently put up for deletion including the one I authored. On the talk page of Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Atwater, California), you wrote about Wikipedia:Notability (local churches and other religious congregations). Does this article qualify in these standards? The same person put the two articles up for deletion, and I couldn't see a difference among other churches not put up for deletion. --Nehrams2020 07:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi MisfitToys, I've actually corresponded with you before regarding your excellent work on these pre-McKay coaches. I started most of the stubs on these individuals, thus they are on my watchlist, and was impressed by your remarkable ability to dig up their histories. While there are two left, it's Suffel (co-coach of the 1888 team) that's been the most confounding to me. --Bobak 18:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
The problem is clearer if you remove "help" the old sentence would read
In chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA, as well as controlling its interactions with other proteins in the nucleus.
The new and problematic sentence would read
In chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA, as well as control its interactions with other proteins in the nucleus.
Do you see the problem? I'm not good enough at grammar to explain why this is wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is. TimVickers 23:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello! Thanks for your copyedit to winter service vehicle. However, the Wikipedia Manual of Style does request that for international subjects, the variant of English used by the creator of the article is retained. It's not a big deal, but plenty of lame edit wars have taken place over this subject, and some editors can get very tetchy if you try to Americanise/Britishise their favourite article. Have a good day! Laïka 20:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
There was a very extended discussion on this very point during the FA process - please see. If I may make a request . . . please don't make any further changes on this the California Gold Rush article for the time being. It goes live as the FA on the Main page in one hour. We are already dealing with substantial vandal traffic. Your forebearance is appreciated! NorCalHistory 23:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, and welcome to the Baseball Wikiproject! We are a group of editors who love the sport of baseball and work to improve Wikipedia's coverage of this sport.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
If you have any ideas you would like to share or if there is any way your fellow baseball editors can help you, please feel free to ask on the project talk page.
It is not appropriate to change the date style in an article against the concensus established on the talk page. Please be more circumspect in the future, especially when dealing with national varieties of English and/or date styles, as such unlateral changes are known to provoke edit wars and harsh feelings if not properly discussed beforehand. Thanks for your consideration. Kaldari 18:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I usually have the mainpage featured article listed on my watchlist so I can revert vandalism to it. Over the past months I've seen that your name invariably shows up in the log, making various copyedits to those articles.

Just wanted you to know your efforts are noticed and appreciated. Very best wishes, WjBscribe 00:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just took a look at the Illinois 3d district page. I already split the economy info into its own section and out of the geography section. I also think that having a section on the demographics of the district is important; there's no way to write an article about that district and not mention white ethnics. I will poke around my copy of the Almanac of Amer. Politics and see what I can come up with today. The history section will be harder to find sources for. If you've got any suggestions, why don't we take this to the article talk page? Meelar (talk) 14:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Christ, am I really editing Wikipedia again? I guess I am. It's good to be back--I had taken about a yearlong break so I'm very much not-up-to-speed.
Regarding Peter Knowles: Perhaps you've double-checked this already, but the article states that in the 1968-69 promotional tour "Wolves represented Kansas City" (linking to Kansas City, Kansas); you should be mindful that Kansas City, Missouri (across the river) is larger and more prominent, and that if only the city name is given, the one in Missouri is more likely.

... for your helpful edits to the article Noah Lottick. Yours, Smee 02:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
I'm curious as to why you changed several of the blue links in this article, since they lead to the same exact place they did before your changes. For example, you changed Philadelphia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - when you click on the link, it leads to the article for Philadelphia and notes it was redirected from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which suggests Philadelphia by itself was the more accurate way to do it in the first place. Am I missing something? Thanks. SFTVLGUY2 14:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
You did such a fantastic job on a page I was editing that you were the first person I thought of for help, sorry about that :p The article Knights Templar is currently undergoing the Featured article process and points raised have been that the text is "too flowery" in places and the History section needing 'tightening up with a some more concise writing'. The editor nominating the article is also actively fixing points as they are raised so some fixes may have already been made and I'm sure your touch would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.--Alf melmac 16:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I added infoboxes in Minnesota's congressional district articles (e.g. Minnesota's 1st congressional district) and have a couple of questions. Where did you get "white collar", "blue collar", and "grey collar" info for Illinois' 3rd congressional district? For %urban and %rural are you using land area or population? (I used as my source, and chose to use the population numbers.) I really think the template ought to be modified to add another line, (%urban/rural popluation and %urban/rural land area). --Appraiser 14:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for doing a copyedit of the article. In the future, make sure not to fix links to redirects that aren't broken though. ShadowHalo 22:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit to Desert Research and Technology Studies. You did not cite a source for your claim that the name was derived from that of the British military unit, rather than being arrived at independently. Please cite sources for your facts. — Swpb talk contribs 19:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your helpful edits to the Anton Chekhov article. I agree with almost all of them. You had a query about "Petersburg". That seems to be what Chekhov called it in his letters, for some reason, and books about him do the same: so I thought I'd go along with the sources.
I can't wait for the ordeal to be over now. Apart from yourself, few people have helped the article. Someone with the very best intentions has spent ages undoing all the carefully combined refs, so littering the page with tag rows; I wish they'd just respected the prevailing reference style of the page, which adhered to CMS style as far as possible.
By the way, do you only work your magic on front-page articles? I'd love you, if you could, to give a once-over to George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. It's an FA which I've contributed a lot to, though I hope George never has to go through the indignity of being on the front page like poor old Anton. Many thanks. qp10qp 21:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
You removed the commas in the dates. I had thought I had accidentally left them out and added them back. Where does this formatting preference come from? Here is the proper format policy from my understanding. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 14:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, just thought I'd acknowledge your work on today's featured article, Hamersley, Western Australia. As an aside - when I first put the refs in, for some inexplicable reason "page" didn't work on the {{cite news}} template, so you'll probably find quite a few around the place using "pages" for singular page as a result of that.

Four weeks ago, you contributed to the WP:CHICOTW when Chicago Landmark was the article. This week, we are attempting to stubify the numerous redlinks with a goal of getting over half the redlinks stubified (we began with about 25%). This will improve our chance of getting it approved as a featured list candidate. When reviewing this weeks contributing editors your name was absent. You may want to choose a redlink or two from Chicago Landmark and create a stub before this week's project ends so that you can be a part of our drive for featured list status. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I am writing you because you either (1) edited Chicago Landmark 5 weeks ago when it was the WP:CHICOTW (2) edited it or created a stub last week when we had the stubification drive for it or (3) you nominated an article to be the CHICOTW in the last few days.
I have finally had a chance to take a tally on last week’s stubification effort. Based on my manual count we now have 109 bluelinks on a total of 241 landmarks. Preliminary indications were that for our article to be successful at WP:FLC we would need to eventually rename it (something like List of Chicago Landmarks) and get the majority of the landmarks linked. Based on my cursory count we need to write 12 more articles to get to a majority. It would be great if you might be able to assist by creating a couple stubs to assist in this effort. Here are some of the stubs that were created during last week’s efforts: Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District, Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Arthur H. Compton House & One North LaSalle. Among the articles still redlinked are 2 buildings on this week’s CHICOTW, Magnificent Mile (Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio, Woman's Athletic Club). Recall that each redlink on Chicago Landmark has a footnote to a reference that gives you enough info to create a stub. If you create a new stub please add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages so that we can keep track of the progress.

I hope you have been following along at Wikipedia:Featured_list_candidates#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks. If you have, then you may have noticed that the only drawback that seems to have emerged is the number of redlinks in the list. If you check in at WP:WIAFL this should not be a surprise. There is nothing much else really to complain about, IMO. I have said from the initial CHICOTW nomination. Unfortunately, once we worked on the page we found preponderant redlinks. I have always known this would be a problem and asked for help creating stubs. You may recall I encouraged us to spend an [Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago/COTW/History/CLstubification entire extra week creating stubs]. This still fell short of getting the majority of articles linked. I continued to suggest that we attempt to create stubs. This whole effort six weeks ago seems to have brought down WP:CHICOTW. Since this attempt to get people to create redlinks for a budding WP:FL people have stopped participating in the CHICOTW. This week marks the fifth week in a row that there has been no significant editorial contribution during the CHICOTW. I would say I am afraid to lose CHIICOTW support by mentioning this, but since NO ONE has come by to help this week, it could not get any worse. If anyone cares about getting an FL at CHICOTW for our past efforts it might be a good idea to express such concern by creating 5 or so stubs from among the redlinks at List_of_Chicago_Landmarks. Since I have already created about 3 dozen I have mentioned on the discussion that I am standing pat with my contribution to this concern. However, if any of you cares, feel free to make some stubs. The 20 minute stub instructions are still available. If you create any such stubs list them at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages so that everyone can help you to clean it up. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
If you have been following along at WP:FLC#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.
Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

I see that you painstakingly changed the date formats in the text of this article. In future save yourself the effort coz here's the thing: it doesn't matter if you put [[8 June]] or [[June 8]] it always is automatically formatted by the html parser as 8 June and June 8 - see?!

I think the social conservatism references need to be changed in the article on the 3rd district. Although some of the views held by 3rd district residents would be classified in some circles as "social conservatism", I think most residents do not classify themselves as conservative in any sense, but still have those beliefs. The reasoning for those beliefs do come from a conservative idealogy. It is more of a "Third Way" district. There are probably more people in the district that are pro-life and hold that as a liberal/progressive belief as opposed to a conservative belief. Longissue 05:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The Manual of Style section that you refer to (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Pseudonyms, stage names and common names) says only that care should be taken to be clear in distinguishing between situations where a person has a stage name vs. a person changed their name vs. a person goes by a nickname ("Mike" vs. "Michael") form of their given name. Contrary to what you have claimed, there is nothing at all in the section which says the common form needn't be included in the identification of the subject. Quite the opposite, both similar example given in that Manual of Style section (John Edwards and Bill Clinton -- prior to you changing it in Clinton's case) quite specifically do give the common form in exactly the same way as is done in Scioscia's article.

Where are you getting the 1918 date? I did a search for Rizzuto and 1918 and came up with nothing useful. Do you have a source that actually explains the whole thing? We've got two independent sources explaining the 1916/1917 flap. Simply pointing to some books that say 1918 and then speculating that the lie means he was born in 1917 counts as original research. In short, in order to list his birthdate as 1917, you really should have a source that explains how the other two sources got it wrong about 1916. Pointing to old record books doesn't do it when there's up to date source that explain the whole shebang. Rklawton 23:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting Fun Home! I really appreciate it. However, I've got minor questions about two changes you made, and I'd like your opinion on them. I've posted at Talk:Fun Home so other interested editors can chime in (although I often find that I'm the only voice on that page, it rarely hurts to let conversations be public).

Please refrain from making such edits again. I have reverted your edits because they violate WP:MoS. Specifically, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Form where it states
[[language]]s
. This is clearer to read in wiki form than [[language|languages]]
— and easier to type. This syntax is also applicable to adjective constructs such as [[Asia]]n
and the like. Hyphens and apostrophes must be included in the link to show as part of it for example [[Jane's Fighting Ships|Jane's]]
or [[truant|playing-the-hop]]
. Keeping possessive apostrophes inside the link, where possible, makes for more readable text and source." (emphasis added)"If you have any additional questions/comments, please use the talk page or contact me on my talk page. — BQZip01 — talk 02:12, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you that it would not be good to clutter articles with "see also" reference to numerous seasons. However, I think it's helpful if limited to World Series championship teams that a player had a significant part in. The ones I did it for are the 1935 Detroit Tigers season, 1945 Detroit Tigers season, 1968 Detroit Tigers season, and 1984 Detroit Tigers season -- i.e., the only four Detroit seasons with a World Series championship. I have put a good deal of time into these four season articles, and I think the "see also" linking is helpful. I do agree, though, that the "see also" linkings have gotten out of control. For example, adding a "see also" reference in the article of every player ever to wear team's uniform to the team's all time roster (e.g., such links for the Chicago White Sox all-time roster) is clutter. There is no particular value I can see in linking each player bio to the all-time roster of every team he played for. In some cases, where a guy has been on six or more teams, the clutter would get distracting. Anyway, I don't intend to do it other than the 4 Detroit WS seasons. Cbl62
Hi Misfit Toys, I am looking for some guidance in uploading an image, in particular the proper tagging of an image given all the concerns of copy-vio recently. The reason I am coming to you is that you have done some editing on an article that I created- St. John's Lutheran Church and School (New Boston, Michigan). Which by the way I am remiss in thanking you for all the great copy edits you made to the article- thank you! The image is a picture of the church and school that I created and was wondering if you could steer me to the proper image tag. I do not want to retain any sort of rights to the image at all. I have never uploaded an image before so I am reading up on the procedure. Since the article has made it this long without being tagged for deletion, I figure it's time to expand it. Appreciate any advice you can lend me. Cireshoe 01:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I invite you to check the new phrasing I put in the Urania sloanus article. You were right toxicity doesn't cause bright coloration, but bright colors advertise toxicity (as a warning). (Just so you remember you lifted the issue "Why would toxicity cause bright coloration? Better phrasing, please."). By the way thanks for the copy-editing.

Thanks for the copyedits to Vernice Armour. Just having a second contributor in its history makes the article more "real", more a part of Wikipedia instead of just one person's idea. What I've learned from your edits is that it is not enough for a link to be blue. Now I'll check that it is not a redirect, and adjust as needed. I notice that you reordered the categories. Is there a guideline as to their order? Putting her name in each category was something I copied and pasted from another article. Is that an obsolete practice or was the other article just wrong? Thanks again. Sbowers3 03:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I am trying to add to the Infobox World Series Expanded a section to list future Hall of Famers. I think my syntax in the Infobox looks ok, but when I try to add names to the Infobox on 1975 World Series, it isn't turning out correctly. Can you help? Thanks.

I've done 1903 to 1954 so far. The only non-players I've included are managers. I was thinking of adding umpires. I am putting (mgr.) after the manager's name and (dnp) for future HOFers who did not play. I am listing the players for each time separately and alphabetically. I am putting the manager first, before the alphabetized players.
I am also including players who weren't elected as players, but elected as managers. If you look at 1923 World Series, I put a ‡ after Stengel's name. If you look at the edit of that infobox, it says "‡ elected as a manager." at the bottom - but that text doesn't show up in the article. I don't know how to fix that yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingturtle (talk • contribs) 20:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with parts of this edit. I prefer templates and think they are generally preferred. I also think we can anticipate yearly NCAA season articles and should leave the redlinks.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 21:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that you changed the year in baseball (wikilinks) to just year (not wikilinked) in the Gabe Paul article. It was my understanding that year in baseball is typically used in a baseball article when the subject clearly refers to a baseball topic and just plain year otherwise. Could you please help me understand those edits? Is there a Wikipolicy that describes this? Thanks, Truthanado 02:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
When I first created the article, I considered using Category:Murdered American children. But it hasn't been officially called a "murder" (yet) since murder requires malice aforethought. So I thought it best just to label her an "abuse victim" for the time being, pending the results of the investigation. Your thoughts? Kafziel Talk 21:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
You have done a good job adding categories to some of the articles I watch. However, in the future could you try to help keep the categories alphabetized.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you restored Garcia's entry at Deaths in August 2007. It has been a long-standing practice that only notable persons (those with a Wikipedia article) are recorded in the Deaths notices. There is no other way to limit the entries to notable deaths, and stop the page from becoming a memorial. "Redlinks" are maintained for one month following the death, to allow for a Wikipedia article to be written, then deleted if no article develops. Regards, WWGB (talk) 06:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
