May 2017: Women in Red
It didn't occur to me until I realized that I had spent more than ten hours on Supa Sirisingh that I had co-opt your project. I didn't mean to, but there it is. I'll leave it alone if you want it back. Sorry.  - Myk Streja (Talk to me) 15:42, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

How long?
I took a peek at your user page, and I gotta say, I'm impressed. Your contributions are simply amazing. But what I really got a kick out of was what I found tucked in a corner way at the bottom:  Were you here when they opened Wikipedia for business? :> — Myk Streja  ( who? ) 13:57, 24 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind remarks. I think that the current English Wikipedia was launched in 2001. I like to think that I'm still a puppy. --Big_iron (talk) 01:04, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, I just calls it as I sees it. Hm, sixteen years and you've been here for most of it. Puppy, eh? I've been here a month. That means I'm a fetus that escaped. Never mind, the imagery it called up was chilling. Anyway, it's nice to know there are some nice veteran editors around. — Myk Streja ( who? ) 01:30, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Céleste Mogador
Hi Big iron -

I just reviewed your DYK nom for Céleste Mogador. Good work. I just noticed that there were a couple of instances where the wording in the entry was a little too close to the original source. It should be an easy fix and then you'll be good to go. Thanks for your work. EricEnfermero (Talk) 07:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Libby Altwerger
Thank you for your contribution but notability of the artist is poorly sourced. At least one information is unprecise (the name of the French institution). Xx236 (talk) 08:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not understand what you mean by "poorly sourced" in this context. Why do you think that the name of the institution is imprecise? --Big_iron (talk) 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Ethel Rosenfield
Hi there Big iron -- I've just noticed that you've created a page for artist Ethel Rosenfield. I've actually been working on an article about her in my User Sandbox over the past few days (apparently too slowly!), but it's a bit longer than your current article. Would it be okay with you if I added some of my material to your article? It just seems a shame to waste all the work. You can check out my Sandbox article for Ethel Rosenfield right here. All the best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 16:53, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Awesome -- just wanted to check in with you first. :-) Alanna the Brave (talk) 17:00, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Ana Torfs
I noticed you started this article, and the SPA edited it extensively. Unfortunately, Boekweitkoekje (inactive since December) added over a dozen incompletely-formatted references mixed in with the text in a way which makes them rather fiddly to repair. I fixed two. You may want to take a look at the rest of them. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 11:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sylvia Edlund


The article Sylvia Edlund has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. RationalPuff (talk) 13:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
