First Crusade
Hi Awwiki, thanks for your help with the First Crusade article. A number of us were trying to perfect it last year and bring it back up to Featured Article standards, but I ran out of free time and others seem to have lost interest. It's looking better with your additions though. Adam Bishop (talk) 21:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit Summary Question
Hi, Awwiki. I noticed that in the edit summary for a change you made to Did Jesus Exist?, you asked a question about the sourcing of a quote you deleted. If you have questions about sourcing (or anything else in an article), I'd strongly recommend that you ask them on the talk page of the article. Edit summaries don't really provide a place for anyone to answer your questions. Also, I've seen plenty of edit wars start with a precipitous edit, and if you really have a question, making the edit before you've given anyone a chance to answer could lead to an unnecessary dispute. Anyhow, I don't object to the edit you made, but just wanted to give you a suggestion to help you with future edits. --RL0919 (talk) 14:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Early windmills
I note you added a mention of a windmill in 1137 in Leicester to the history of wind power article. Can you add that mill the the List of windmills in Leicestershire and give a reference please? Mjroots (talk) 08:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, best left off the list then. I thought it a bit early - too close to Weedley, which is dated 1135 1185. Mjroots (talk) 08:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, my bad! 1185 is correct, according to Roy Gregory (East Yorkshire Windmills) amongst others. Mjroots (talk) 09:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mr. Edwards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pioneer Girl ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Mr._Edwards check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Mr._Edwards?client=notify 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.

April 2020
Hi Awwiki! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for August 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.
