Wow!
I'm a wikipedian and I haven't seen wikipedia for a while. I edited the article Bongo (antelope) a lot and wow! You've really shown effort as a new wikipedian! One more thing. You need to organize each part of the article better. But overall, wow! I give you an A! Nice work! I am not trying to get your personal info. but what grade are you in?

Inline references
See here:WP:CITE and here:WP:CITET for info about how to produce inline references. Michael Jordan, an article that I'm the main contributor/writer on, has correct referencing style, you could just copy the methods used there. I can't really add the references myself because that would require me to learn and read all the info about the animal. Maybe you can just show me each source and I'll teach you how to add them.

Bongo FAC
As for the Bongo FAC,it's much better. I just ran AndyZ's PR script and put it on the talk page. You should work through it, the script is pretty good, but has a few bugs. Someone will probably tell you to get rid of the gallery, work the pics into appropriate sections of the body. As for refs, you need to tie them to pertinent body sections and footnote them. I'm teach you. We'll start with web refs, tell me what web refs apply to what lines of the body, and I'll footnote them for you. A ref can be used more than once. let's put all our talk on the bongo thread you started on my talk page, that way we're not bouncing back and forth. Rlevse 02:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I've rechecked and I am happy with the text. However I can not support it until the inline citation is up to stuff. Tirronan 02:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, Black Stripe. I'd normally love to help you out, but I'm in a bit of a crunch for time at the moment, so I'll keep it brief. The sections in WP:Footnotes regarding how to use footnotes has gotten pretty useful in the last few months with a few visual demonstrations. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. You essentially just do this:

Hi Black Stripe! I've looked at this but there is still no inline citation which is about all that it lacks. Look at WP:Cite and WP:Footnotes for help on this. Once you do that I will support it. This is a pretty article. Tirronan 17:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

==My section==

I am very, very awesome.

==References==

And it will end up looking like this:

My section
I am very, very awesome.

Inline citations
The article still has no inline citations. This is something that is going to take a while to do and will be a non-starter for an FAC. Once you've got all that checked out and enough citations to match the claims made in the article (check out recently-nominated FAs fo an idea of the density that is generally sought), let me know and I'll check out the prose.  JHMM13  17:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I've rechecked your article and you now have inline citations. You may want to add a few more but I will support it. Tirronan 16:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Bongo (antelope) Vandalism
Thanks for your message. I just happened to be scanning the Recent Changes page and saw what appeared to be vandalism, so I reverted the edits. It looks like you have done a lot to improve this article so keep up the good work! DAJF 00:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Textile arts
Hello. I notice you've been making some nice edits to textile arts articles. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Textile Arts? --Eyrian 15:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Microwave oven
G'day. I note that much of what you put into the microwave oven section is a copy of a document that has been floating around the internet for years. This document was debunked several years ago. You may wish to read: Microwaves, Nazis, cults... Gillyweed (talk) 21:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Coeliac disease and passover
You have changed coeliac disease to read that one must consult a rabbi in particular circumstances. Obviously this is correct, but an encyclopedia simply cannot instruct its readers to go talk to a rabbi - encyclopedias never instruct their readers to do anything (see WP:IINFO). I am not up-to-date with recent responsa about coeliac disease. Therefore, if you could produce a recent summary of halachic views on coeliacs eating matzo on Pesach that would be much better.

 * Thanks for your message. It would be very good if you could find a published version of the opinion of Dayan Westheim shlita, because it is highly representative of the conundrum. I think the present version simply does not discuss the possibility of "I am coeliac and have no oat matzo, am I obliged to eat wheat matzo on Seder night?" JFW | T@lk  10:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with WW2 image rights
While I have no reason to doubt what the Auschwitz museum says in regards to the images of the plan of the crematoria and the catchment map, since your photos are derivative works that the museum is apparently responsible for, here's an explanation. The image of the crematorium 2 ovens is part of the Bauleitung (construction department) album, thus it was taken 1942/1943 when the large crematoria were being built. German World War Two photographs originally had a copyright of 25 years, so its copyright expired in 1967/1968. The problem is that European copyright was harmonised, with the law coming into effect in Germany in 1995. This means that the image is copyrighted in both Germany and since in accordance with the January 1, 1996 date, even in the United States too.

Wow that was an essay, sorry, and apologies further if it doesn't make sense (I've basically paraphrased this for you). This message in a nutshell: German WW2 photographs, such as those in the Bauleitung album, are copyrighted. None of them are public domain, no matter what the Auschwitz authorities/USHMM/Yad Vashem say. Hope this helps. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Electronic tuner
Hey, thanks for the note, and great work with the article! Of course, it will need references eventually. But most of the material looks solid and uncontroversial, so there ought to be plenty of time to find sources. --Allen (talk) 04:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Permission to Use a Photo
Hi Black Stripe, I would like to use the image of the restored carding machine at quarry Bank Mill which you have uploaded to wikipedia in an educational textile text book and am requesting permission to do so - although the licence has said the image can be used my publisher is insisting that I have specific written permission from the owner of photographic works. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards Bev Ashford — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bev's Book (talk • contribs) 15:38, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Source for quote
Hi, I was looking at this edit of yours and I noticed that the idea you mention does not seem to be in Midrash Rabbah. Could you explain where you got the idea from, in order to track down the exact citation? Thanks! Ar2332 (talk) 20:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
