Hi, Shearonink.
It's been a while since you first welcomed me to Wikipedia; I don't think I've had the chance to work with you since then. Anyways, I was just wondering, I've noticed that you've requested oversight on a lot of feedback submissions lately. Clearly it's not an issue if the oversighters aren't complaining, but I'm just curious as to why? I don't know if you've read
WP:FRG - do you disagree with the criteria it suggest for requesting oversight? I really don't mean to sound at all condescending or anything here; it's been my experience that a good many veteran users aren't that familiar with the perhaps-overly-complicated ins and outs of AFT5.
This whole post seems a bit... wishy-washy... mostly because I'm just trying to bring up the subject, without caring too much what I say about it off the bat. So please forgive any awkwardness here, but I'd love to chat about it, if you don't mind. — Francophonie&Androphilie( Je vous invite à me parler) 09:18, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Shearonink, since you are interested in meetups in DC, I'd like to invite you to attend the Cato Institute's "Wikipedia and Legislative Data" events on March 14. (There's also an all day workshop on March 15; let me know if you are interested, we may be able to add more people.)
There will be an introduction to Wikipedia and open edit-a-thon in the afternoon, and a Sunshine Week Reception in the evening. I hope you can make it!
Hope to see you there! - Pete ( talk) 19:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for review the changes I made. I believe that the general interpretation, or how it is worded, is what guided me in making the change. It was my understanding that the slaves were give to the Washington family by Maratha's family; thus, being a dowry. I am not 100% on this on this interpretation, and because of this I'll just "take your word" on the matter; however, I do hope that your revision is on par! Thanks again, Oklahoma3477 ( talk) 07:13, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Shearonink; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 21:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Just got a Bot notice about the March AFC Backlog Elimination Drive. I was going to sign up for the AFCBuddy, but noticed something weird about the linkage... the links all go to the January 2013 drive instead of March, so it looks like the Buddy is out of date. I see that another person has signed up today for the March drive and put January 2013 into their signup... Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 15:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer of the Teahouse, but I don't think I'm going to bother helping with Wikipedia anymore. I feel overwhelmed by the regulations. And given my lack of access to a decent academic library, I don't have the resources necessary to adequately "prove" anything. The other part that makes this very difficult is that a whole lot of knowledge with hypnotists is passed down orally, so wikipedia's reliance on written documentation makes things difficult.

Hi, Thank you for your input about the article on Peter Tiboris. I've been hoping to receive constructive criticism and finally have suggestions that may help me better the article.

Sorry, I give up and will not continue to submit an article on the matter.
Here was your comment, please see my additoons in Italics: Even though there are a number of references for this draft, in my opinion the notability of this particular boat design has not been proven. If the creator of this draft is interested in these boats then perhaps an article about the designer might be do-able...after all, it is the *person* who is in the Encyclopedia of Yacht Designers. Comment: This comment lacks relevance. a) The information on Einar Ohlson is scarce to say the least, otherwise I would have quoted more. I would love to write an article in the the designer. I am in contact with the family with no benefit as they are not able to share more. The reference to the Encyclepedia does not make any sense as I was the contributor. b) Whether the reviewer sees the relevance of this boat seems to spring from his personal opinion rather than expertise.
Sections of this entry appear to be possible copyright violations of content from the Ohlson38 website: Ohlson 38 Production and Ohlson 38 History. If you are the copyright owner of this content and you want to donate it to Wikipedia, you will have to read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. I am the owner of the website but with all intents and purposes I cannot find the document to fill in. No reviewer before has identified this as an issue so the review process seems to show a lack of constancy.
Sorry, this is a deeply frustrating exercise! I have published more than 10 scientific papers via peer review process and I have never experienced a process like this. I repeatedly get different reviewers who do not even have the courtesy to respond to questions nor seem to value what has been addressed before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohlson38 ( talk • contribs) 15:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Last year when I had this article up for DYK? you left a note at my talk asking "where are the plates now and are they on display anywhere?" I recently spoke to someone who I believe works at the Saint Louis Art Museum, who informed me that the plates are going on display this spring and will be on display there for a year. It is the only time all 8 plates have been displayed at once. I'm going to try and make it there myself sometime this summer. Here are some related articles I created in the last week or so: Mound 34 (home of the copper workshop) and Mound 72 (which I currently have as a proposed DYK?) Cheers!

Hello, Shearonink,

First of all, nice work on putting the stuff into the table itself, that is just a pain in the butt doing that stuff. About the color, if every single row is blue I don't see a point in the color at all. And also there's a WP thing about color and the site being used by color blind people that rules out excessive color use (I ran into the same problem you did - coloring the table - with one as well and an editor pointed it out). Images on the right is just what I've noticed in almost every featured list... You could put them on the left if you really want - but I think when viewing on the mobile version the images would show before the table does - which is very aggravating for the user. I hope this helps. Disc Wheel ( Talk + Tontributions) 04:16, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

We hope to hear your thoughts and suggestions; if you have an idea you would like to pursue, please let us know and we will help!
Following the WikiSalon, we will be having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza.

Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Marjorie Gubelmann 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.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 00:59, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
As a subscriber to one of The Wikipedia Library's programs, we'd like to hear your thoughts about future donations and project activities in this brief survey. Thanks and cheers, Ocaasi t | c 15:19, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
I have been trying several times to edit this page but all ways i am shot down, but this time i have a very reliable source from this web site i am told it is not good enough i do not under stand why the web site is here http://www.mondelezinternational.com/ph/en/brands/confectionery/toblerone.aspx I hope this site is a reliable site because it talks of dates that are different from the Toblerone page.How through the decades, Toblerone expanded its product line and underwent mergers with other food companies. Most noteworthy of these was the merger in 1990 with Philip Morris Companies Inc. It talks about merging not acquired the toblerone product and this date of 1990 how it sold it to kraft this site says it merged in 1990 then went on to do this. The latter acquired the then Jacobs Suchard AG which made Toblerone, and in 1991 created Jacobs Suchard International as a unit of its Kraft General Foods business. This is all i am trying to add why can this not be added.my email add is [email protected] you.( Miketobler ( talk) 19:34, 13 December 2013 (UTC))
I didn't remove anything from those pages. I just tweaked the musical artist format? WIth tobey macguire, nothing was removed either. I just changed the "children" segment to "2" rather than naming both his children- this just makes it look neater. The same case with Alec Balwin. Just trying to make it all look neater. Must you continue to reverse my changes?? :I Miss.Indecisive ( talk) 00:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm just curious...why is it that several musical artists such as Jessica Simpson and Katy Perry have infobox person formats (blended with infobox musical artist) whilst others such as Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne do not? I just think it would so much more efficient to incorporate both aspects.. and include segments of their personal life- which is one reason they have a page in the first place, so people can learn more about them. However, if doing so is going against some sort of infobox code, I completely understand. Yet it seems to have been breached and accepted with regards to Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry and several others. Cheers :)

I nominated a couple more of Mr. Guye's evil redirects. (Ambiguity intended.) Just thought you might want to know. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:48, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
howdo,
You've been bringing a lot of redirects to WP:RFD on morality topics and never contributed to any of the discussions, it might be helpful if you did so. RfD is Redirects for Discussion, not Redirects for Deletion. Si Trew ( talk) 13:03, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Hi I tried adding information to the page for Gilligan's Island. However, my information was taken out because it did not have a third party source. However, I cited the TV show episode to support my claim. My claim is that Gilligan's first name could be Robin because Gilligan was hypnotized and called Robin in the episode Ring Around Gilligan. You can view the episode for free here: http://www.tubeplus.me/player/954573/Gilligan's_Island/season_3/episode_9/Ring_Around_Gilligan/%22 Isn't the direct TV episode good enough as a first rate source because it is a direct content source? To verify my claim, readers just need to watch the episode. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvincentsong2 ( talk • contribs) 04:16, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
I think I must be the only one who find the typography change quite jarring, it makes everything MUCH harder for me to read. The spacing is all off now on all the pages (articles, talkpages, userpages, Watchlist, etc). Edit Histories are also more difficult.... I think it's that the spacing is all the same so the different lines visually all blend together on the page. GACK. Shearonink ( talk) 15:05, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
