Copyright investigation
On 28 Nov 2012 you added a copy-paste tag to Carmona, Cavite, but you did not indicate why, such as identifying a source. I notice it was removed here, but not by an editor who performed any cleanup, so I am concerned that if problems existed, they still remain.

I'd like to investigate, but I'm not sure where to start, other than to ask you what prompted you to add the tag.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  21:26, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Anne Curtis
I think that there should be a mention of her endorsements. I'm sorry if it wasn't a very good section, but I do believe that it deserves to be there. Although poorly written on my part as it being my first time to do so, it didn't deserve to be written off, but maybe revised to be a more thoroughly structured paragraph.I don't think it is "trivial fluff" if in her awards and recognitions section, she was in the list of top endorsers in 2011. If you consider it to be "trivial fluff" then you would say the same of Beyonce Knowles, Britney Spears and Carrie Underwood's pages among many others.MissFeFe808 (talk) 02:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of American Girl characters, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Patriot and Nez Perce (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.

Swedish folk music
I did not vandalize that page. I was simply listing one traditional Swedish folk song because some people looking up Swedish folk music might want to know about specific songs. &#34;Weird Nerd&#34; Yankovic (talk) 09:07, 1 June 2013 (UTC) Yeah. Two artists have done a version of that song. Most of the time when two folk artists recorded the same song it means the song is traditional. &#34;Weird Nerd&#34; Yankovic (talk) 09:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Mafia II reply
I think the plot summary is fine the way it is. I honestly wish this site wouldn't be giving so much crufts whenever we write a well-written summary in a video game article. I mean, everything in the plot basicially explains what happen during the events in Mafia II, inlcuding the mystery shadow of Henry and Joe's appearant death. I honestly don't see why we have to keep re-writing or eliminating a few more details in both Mafia game articles and the wiki here keeps crufting them.

Port vs. "other version"
Hi.

I am calling in reference to this edit. Look, I don't want to deliberately harass anyone but please give yourself some credit: You say the word "port" should not be used in conjunction with mobile versions but then, you yourself use it in the same edit in conjunction with a mobile OS. So, I'm still confused; should we or should we not?

There that said, I've never heard that a port needs shared portions of code. But again, how do you know they do/don't share code? From what I have learned, when a piece of software is taken to another platform, as long as the essence is the same, it is a port. For example, StarCraft II is exactly the same in Mac OS X and Windows, so it is a port. Meanwhile Wii and PC versions of HAWX 2 are completely different, only share the same title. What do you think?

Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 07:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Is the iOS version entirely different? The prose says the story is pretty much the same, only simpler, right? Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 07:23, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Very well then. I have no further objections. But I suggest letting the section title be "other versions" because this phrase is broad enough to cover ports as well. "Version" is often used to cover major and minor versions, editions, sub-editions, variants and SKUs. I've seen this a lot of computer magazines, so we have WP:RS support. And please don't forget to link to the first instance of port.


 * In a related note, do you have any idea where can I find material to expand info about each version up to one paragraph? Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 07:43, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Tagalog help needed
Hello Blakegripling, I'm contacting you because we need some Tagalog translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on tl.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Tagalog Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 18:11, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Blake Gripling, I don't know who is that user, but I'm wondering, why did my user account mention on his edit to DWKX (see the history made). What is his problem anyway? I didn't knew him/her. Hamham31 Heke!  KushKush!  04:58, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
