Now that you've explained it, this seems entirely appropriate. I'll admit, I got duped. Still dumfounded. Great work! Stalwart111 05:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC) |

For your constant work on the revamped Proposed mergers notice board, on which you have helped a great deal lately. I know dealing with merge requests can be thankless and easily overlooked, so I wanted to take the time to thank you for your work. NickPenguin(contribs) 20:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC) |

Mergers
Just thought I'd try and clear the backlog of requests that had built up: I know it's time-consuming and the burden shouldn't fall on you alone. Hopefully I haven't screwed anything up badly - you might want to look over it and check everything's been moved to the right section, polish up the wording and stuff, but I think everything's in process or been completed where appropriate apart from the request where you were directly pinged to close off.

Iroquois
Knock it off Peter Flass (talk) 14:25, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. Why would you write the above? Did you leave a similar pointy comment at the editor who just broke 3R? (I thought not.) Do you have a non-fringe reference for that name added to the Lead of the article, no less? Then add a citation ... or remove it... I don't really care one way or another. Or do I have to take this to ANI to get it removed? GenQuest "Talk to Me" 14:35, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I apologize for being so brusk. There's just not a lot of Mohawk language stuff on the Web. I found a couple:
- A History of the New York Iroquois p.165
- "So we will begin, as the first people's of this place, the Rotinonshionni would have begun all their meetings in harmony with the Earth"
- "The following summer I found myself in the woods of Pennsylvania, watching my war party of 20 Rotinonshionni warriors marching down a trail to film a scene about a battle known as the “Bloody Morning Scout.""
Cite added from Beauchamp. Peter Flass (talk) 15:16, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rutherford light horse expedition, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Appalachian (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.

Page mover granted
Hello, GenQuest. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. When you move a page, please remember to correct any double-redirects and make link corrections where necessary. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, post here, or just let me know. Thank you, and happy editing! — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 23:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News
Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes! May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography. Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978.

you do it
There is more than one Maple Park Cemetery in Missouri. Finding Davis Tutt's grave in the cemetery which it's in took some time. Your deletion removed verifiable information from Wikipedia, which is a characteristic of vandalism. I can see that you're not going to revert your "correction," so how about putting the link in an External Links section as you suggested, or doing a <ref> ... </ref>? I leave it up to you. - 173.28.93.51 (talk) 23:49, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
