Thanks: Rosa Parks
Dwalls, Thanks for adding those sources to Rosa Parks. If you ever need any help with anything around here, just let me know. --futurebird 05:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind and encouraging note. As a relative newcomer, it's good to get some positive feedback.  Most of what I've been contributing is balancing the abundance of online resources with a few of the standard print sources -- organizational histories, biographies, and autobiographies.  I hope to get a feel for how that goes over with fellow Wikipedians.  So I was pleased to hear from you.  Dwalls 17:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Harry Caudill
Hi, I'm a big Harry Caudill fan and reader too, and have visited his home county of Letcher, in East Kentucky. We have an international readership, hence the addition of the country, just for consistency's sake. If a publication were given as Chetumal, Quintana Roo, but no country, many people wouldn't know what country it was. If those books were published earlier, I think the earlier publication info should be given in the bibliography as well. That info should be easy to find on an online library catalog. Badagnani 22:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, but I note that Wikipedia strongly suggests following the MLA Style Manual. Dwalls 03:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your great work on Guy Carawan! --Allen 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note, Allen. Let's work together to fill out the Carawans' career at Highlander.  I had met Guy and Candie in the 1960s when I lived in eastern Kentucky and later in Lexington.  I haven't seen them for the 25 years I've been in California, but I've followed their work.  Glad to see also that you initiated the article on Evan Carawan.  I'm sure it's helpful that you are closer to the scene there. Dwalls 03:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Very nice job getting Heather to license that photo of Guy under Creative Commons! Sorry I haven't been helping out with the article; you're doing a fine job by yourself, though.  --Allen 23:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for noticing, Allen. My third image uploaded; each one is an educational campaign on the Creative Commons License! (Others: Archie Green and Little Red Songbook).  I have in mind two more paras on Carawans at Highlander, then I'm turning it over to you!  I also added Video Ref section for two videos with lots of good info on the Carawans, as you no doubt know.  Dwalls 23:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

David Bromige
Thanks for the compliment concerning my recent David Bromige edit. I admit, I did hesitite - mainly because I want a good article on the man (hence my citation requests). Anyway, I'm hoping that the article will be expanded and improved. looking forward to seeing an image. Victoriagirl 00:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dwalls, please consider taking a look! Benzocane 19:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Michael Harrington
Hi! Can you please explain why your removed the wiki project Missouri tag from the Harrington article? He is from St. Louis, so to me it seems appropriate. Thanks! TMS63112 03:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Appalachia
I hadn't checked the history enough to even see that you had edited that etymology paragraph. Looking farther back now, I see the "conquerors" part got added a few weeks ago, after this edit. I'd never heard the idea that "Apalachee" wasn't the name of the tribe, at least as transcribed by the Spanish into the Latin alphabet. The "appellation" etymology recently added stuck me as pretty bizarre. Thanks for your edits. I sometimes think about working on the page more-- it could be improved in lots of ways-- but it's a bit daunting.. Pfly 22:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Joe Glazer
Thank you for the good work you're doing on the Joe Glazer article. David in DC 20:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Peace Action
Feel free to remove the publications section for Peace Action. It wasn't originally authored by me. I think the section stems from someone who I went back and forth on edit reverts with (someone I suspected at the time to be directly involved with Peace Action) and the publications section is one of the things left over. If I recall right, the article probably still has a few other things that could be trimmed down or removed. Barkeep  Chat 14:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. The books on that list would probably be more appropriate in the article on the Peace Movement. Dwalls 15:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, etc.
Thanks for telling me about your latest article. Keep up the good work! --Orlady (talk) 22:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SLATElogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SLATElogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Wisdom89 (talk) 05:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

DYK nomination
Hi. I've nominated Appalachian Volunteers, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alansohn (talk • contribs) 06:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Very nice rationale addition at Appalshop. Badagnani (talk) 02:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Bert Corona
Thank you for starting the article. It has been on my to-do list for some time. In fact, I have already started the article in a sandbox (User:Rockero/Bert Corona), so feel free to migrate any of that information if you want to. I have been too busy to get to it. Gracias, --Rockero (talk) 19:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, you've done a great job with your draft article! I wish you had put it up before I got started.  I just couldn't believe he didn't have a WP article, and I thought it was important to get one started.  I'm rather busy too, but I'll give some thought to transferring sections of your work to my minimal start.  You really ought to get the credit for it, however.  Dwalls (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree that Corona is far too important to not have a WP article about him. It was pure egotism and laziness that prevented me from posting what I had. Your getting started was just the swift kick in the you-know-what that I needed. Maybe I'll even finish the article now!


 * Basically I just copied my article version in. I tried to keep what you wrote, and I think we should include the organizations he founded/was most closely associated with in the first paragraph, since it is all most people read anyway. And I still haven't gotten around to the last part of his life, so there is a lot of work to be done. Please feel free to restore anything I missed or make other adjustments you see fit.

Hi, Dwalls, thank you for the kind words! I find the early American conservation movement utterly fascinating, but I fear it may be too much for a poor little English major to handle. :) Please feel free to step in and help at any time.

WPCSU
Thanks for the praise. It's very exciting to see so many good editors merge to work on the CSU WikiProject. I do believe that if the Cal State system follows our footsteps and decides to build greater unity amongst its campuses it would eradicate the negative stereotype generally associated to it. You are more than welcome to join or modify the WikiProject as you find convenient. See you around! --Dabackgammonator (talk) 05:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Freedom Summer / Freedom on My Mind
Hi. Somebody associated with the film's distributor has been spamming Wikipedia in the past few days, posting dozens of external links to sites that sell copies of the distributor's films. I thought the commercial link was inappropriate. If you think, on balance, it should be there, please restore it. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 04:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Community Organizing
Thanks for the welcome. Any comments or critiques would be welcomed. I'd also appreciate it if you would point out anything I am doing that doesn't fit standard Wiki etiquette, since this is my first effort. Given the interest in community organizing (and the lack of understanding) it seems important that this page be accurate, helping people understand how it differs from the standard ways we think about "service" and "community building."AaronSchutz (talk) 16:11, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Appalachian Music
On Monday, March 9, 2009, I created the article Appalachian music after reading the WikiProject Appalachia page. Someone attempted to restore the redirect to Old-time music, telling me that there was very little information. I undid that edit. However, they were correct regarding the amount of information in the article. Thus, I have a proposal: if we can, we can work together to improve and expand the Appalachian music article. If you know anyone who can help out with the article, please let them know. If you are interested in assisting, have questions, want to talk, etc., feel free to put something on my talk page.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. TTS51207 (talk) 15:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, Dwalls! I haven't been editing much lately, but hopefully I'll continue nibbling around the edges of Appalachia-related articles. --Allen (talk) 21:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

David Epston
Hi, Thanks for rewriting part of the David Epston article. I'm very glad you did because as I not-native speaker, this is the most difficult part for me. Now I wonder if you could give me a hand with some more editorial work like this in other sociology relate biographical article I started or improved, see here.

Until last week I have made the mistakes in the series of biographical articles not using quotation marks right or rewriting the original source used. I am trying to working hard in isolating and eventually solving these problems and would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks again. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 01:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * You have created a very large body of work in the English-language Wikipedia, but I'd be glad to take a look at those subjects I may know a little about. Dwalls (talk) 03:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes thank you very much. Indeed I made a serious error of judgements, and I continued in a series of articles. I turned to you also because of you being a retired sociologist, and I started or expanded multiple biographical articles about sociologists in the field of systems science, see here. I was thinking about articles like Kenneth D. Bailey (sociologist), Walter F. Buckley, C. West Churchman... Mmmm, I will (first) add a list somewhere, and will get back to you, so you can see for your self. Thanks again for offering. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 09:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Solidarity Forever
We always have to draw a pretty strict line between reproducing published information and opinion (however solid). I happen to mostly agree with you, but a lot of what you wrote is either opinion (relevancy, for example), or the dreaded original research and analysis. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC) (dues-paying Wob who has sung all six verses with Utah)

DYK nomination for Jon Whitmore

Dealing with vandalism
Hello, please be careful when undoing vandalism on Wikipedia. At Edgar Nixon, you only undid a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edgar_Nixon&diff=555359105&oldid=555209609 fraction] of [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edgar_Nixon&diff=555209609&oldid=554437176 the recent vandalism to that article]. When an article has recently been vandalized, it is better to check the page history and revert the article back to the last good version rather than trying to undo each vandalism edit individually. If you like I can give you the rollback right to make vandalism reversion easier. It should only be used on obvious vandalism, but you seem to have more than enough experience to judge when its use would be appropriate. Graham 87 15:07, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, JudySakaki


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, JudySakaki. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Judy K. Sakaki. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Judy K. Sakaki – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. KylieTastic (talk) 20:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday
Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.
