GeorgeofOrange, good luck, and have fun. – Gilliam (talk) 03:08, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks!
... for adding coordinates to so many of my recently-created Columbus articles. I had a great time visiting the city last weekend, and plan to create a few more articles about some of the places I visited. Thanks again! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:21, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the articles! If you visit again, I recommend Field of Corn.  GeorgeofOrange (talk) 01:38, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * A steady contributor throughout 2018, George has amassed 7600 edits with 93% of them in mainspace. It is quite common that those of us that edit regularly find a niche, a little corner of WikiWorld that gives us joy. George's niche is State articles that are missing geo-coordinate data. He also adds maplinks when necessary. A member of WikiProject Michigan and WikiProject Ohio, his editing is easy to overlook, but it enhances every article he works on, and makes him deserving to be an Editor of the Week.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Thanks again for your efforts! &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   23:56, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much and the committee.  This is immensely enheartening and encouraging!  GeorgeofOrange (talk) 02:25, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Split Oak Page
Did you write the snippet about Split Oak Forest? MSRDSB (talk) 16:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

No. It had a “Missing coordinates” tag and all I did was update the tag to say the missing coordinates were in Florida.

Thanks, I'm new to this and trying to figure out who initially wrote it for guidance on adding something similar. MSRDSB (talk) 14:29, 9 September 2020 (UTC)


 * , here is a guide to how the history works: WP:PAGE. You may need to be in edit mode to see the View History tab.

Creating articles isn’t really my thing, so I cannot offer much help there. But give me a ping when you have something - would like to see and help where I can. And will definitely add coordinates if needed! GeorgeofOrange (talk) 01:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
