or
That's thank you, from A to Z (by word or language). Sometimes I'm not good about thanking folks who thank me for my aimless fiddling around on Wikipedia. So in case I do forget, this should cover it. If you'd like more words of appreciaton, find them here.
Hey, they even have translations of the classic My hovercraft is full of eels!
Here (and on my user page) are a few of the photos I've taken in my NRHP roadtrips. More to be found here.

Jamie Dornan's image
There has been a conflict in preference over the use of image in the Jamie Dornan page, I'm hoping that a vote for which image might be preferable would settle the dispute. I am therefore writing to those who have edited Jamie Dornan page to voice their opinion in the Jamie Dornan Talk page so we can reach a consensus. I would welcome your opinion.

- Honestly, neither are really great. I'd go with the colour one b/c I think photos of modern subjects in black-and-white look odd. But that's me. --‖ Ebyabe talk - State of the Union ‖ 13:34, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Harry Shum's maternal family name
Hello. I've seen you reverted my recent edit on Harry Shum's article regarding his maternal last name.
The alleged source (this) is a searchable database belonging to the Costa Rican Supreme Court of Elections, and therefore the page belongs to the Costa Rican government. The database gathers the data of all the people born in Costa Rican soil. Since Harry Shum, Jr. was born in this country, his data must be into the database. Searching for Harry Shum leaves an only result that matches the singer's date of birth and has "Kwan" as his maternal family name. Since there isn't any other result in the search, there's (theorically) no room for confusion, as no other man has been registered with that name in the country.
Of course, as an unexperienced contributor, I may be leaving something "uncertain" (as stated in your edition). Please let me know if there is anything wrong.

- That's is what's known around here as original research. A source must be reliable and secondary or tertiary. If you could find a magazine or newspaper article reporting this, it would be more acceptable. Please see WP:RELIABLE as to what constitutes reliable sources. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 13:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Hmm, I'm sorry. This is not the first time I got into a debate due to the original research thing. I have read the article regarding both reliable sources and original research, and despite I'm still a little bit confused about it, I think I understand the reason of the reverted edition.

the tea party movement page
The problem I have is that anyone can claim they are the "tea party" There is no evidence in my opinion to say that the Koch Brothers made the first tea party page in 2002.Catsmeow8989 (talk) 16:15, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
The fringe left is inserting absolute non-sense into the article. The claim that the koch bros made the first tea party website is absolutely false. They removed the old introduction that was there for over 9 months!Catsmeow8989 (talk) 16:15, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
I wasn't talking about a new editor on may 30th. There is a serious war going on this page...the whole thing needs to be reverted back before april and locked.
- Then argue that point. But don't change other peoples' comments. That undermines your argument. FYI, I think the obsession with the Koch brothers is a corollary to Bush Derangement Syndrome. So I agree with you to some degree. It's just your approach that is causing problems. Be calm and discuss rationally, you'll be more likely to achieve the result you're looking for that way. Cheers. --‖ Ebyabe talk - State of the Union ‖ 16:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
alright, I understand. Catsmeow8989 (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Just so you know, the old intro was this:
The origins of the current Tea Party movement can be traced back to circa 2007. The movement's beginnings were kick-started by Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul in 2007. His GOP presidential campaign received a 24-hour, record breaking, money bomb on December 16, 2007;[22] which is the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. This event directly contributed to creating a libertarian revival and divide in the Republican Party.[23][24][25] Ron Paul continues to be a prominent force in the Tea Party movement, such as endorsing Tea party candidates,[26] and also giving talks and speeches alongside prominent Tea party activist, and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.[27][28]Catsmeow8989 (talk) 16:42, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Maybe the old intro could have been improved, but i think replacing that with koch bros, is just stupid imo. it's a 180 degree turn. Catsmeow8989 (talk) 16:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- Fine. Then discuss that at Talk:Tea Party movement. That's the appropriate place to talk about article improvement. Please conduct the rest of the discussion there, as posting here won't help you in changing that article. I'm afraid I'll be deleting any further posts from you on my page, b/c there's not much more point. Cheers. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Inspector General ‖ 16:45, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Washington DC
Hey! I'm not sure if you saw my last message, but I was wondering why you deleted this sentence "In that vein, the city was named 2014’s Best U.S. City to Start a Career by the personal finance site, WalletHub[113]" from the Economy section of the Washington, D.C. entry? I provided the primary source (http://wallethub.com/edu/best-worst-cities-to-start-a-career/3626/), which is supported by news coverage (http://www.usnews.com/news/slideshows/the-top-10-best-cities-to-start-a-career), so I just wanted to see if I made a procedural mistake or something! Please let me know so I can fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarabas (talk • contribs) 16:18, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- We don't do primary sources. If you want, you can add the usnews source. Also, wallethub does not appear to be a reliable source. Please see WP:VERIFY for a fuller explanation on how to add references, and what is and is not considered reliable. Thanks. --‖ Ebyabe talk - State of the Union ‖ 17:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Also, please sign your posts. Just click on the signature and timestamp button that's above, to the right of the B and I (bold and italic) button. Thanks. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 17:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
I followed your instructions and even showed you the addition before I did it, and you still took it down! Do you need more news stories about the study? Because there are many. Could we maybe get other people's opinions as well? It seems like a legitimate addition to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarabas (talk • contribs) 01:58, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- If you check the edit history of the article, you'll see someone else reverted your edits. You should talk to them. And please, sign your posts. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 03:24, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
