Disambiguation link notification for April 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Li Ye (poet), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wuxing. 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.

 * I've fixed the problem. Thanks! Howkafkaesque (talk) 22:23, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you! :) Howkafkaesque (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I've nominated Li Ye (poet) for DYK, see nomination page. You may wish to nominate your other articles as well (I'll nominate more if I can find the time to do QPQ reviews). Best regards, -Zanhe (talk) 02:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Also nominated Santi Ghose and Maria Anwander. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 03:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * And Janie Tsao. Thanks again for your contributions! -Zanhe (talk) 00:20, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I thought it would be unfair to feature only half of the entrepreneur couple on DYK, so I created Victor Tsao and added it to the nomination. Since I used lots of material from the wife's article you wrote, I've credited you for the husband's article as well. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 20:18, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for creating Victor Tsao! Howkafkaesque (talk) 02:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on this article, but I've reverted it. I don't think that the tambour.com is a Reliable Source, as it's a family history website and gives no sources for its statements. That's why I didn't state her place of death etc. Pam  D  07:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Your recent edits at Ernest Hemingway
Hi! I just noticed your recent edits at this article. I thought it better to revert these edits for several reasons. Ernest Hemingway is a featured article and great effort should be exerted to maintain the necessary characteristics. If you look at the format of the citations you will find that they are consistent, and the same format should be preserved for all edits. In addition, the references used here are from the major modern biographies of Hemingway. In particular the AP study guide source provides no path of verification. Finally, when major projected changes are discussed first on the article talk page, the collaboration results in a better article. — Neonorange (talk) 06:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jasmine Tookes. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been or will be undone. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

 * Response here. Howkafkaesque (talk) 02:33, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * @ — I restored your recent improvements to Jasmine Tookes. Labeling your edits vandalism is uncivil, and in this case violates one of the Wikipedia five pillars. But I suspect you,, after just one month, may already know that. Unfortunately there can be gaps. — Neonorange (talk) 03:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

References #2, #5 and #6. "Primary sources" does not only mean his own website, but also covers off any organization or company with which he has a direct business or professional relationship. A writer's notability depends on the work being sourced properly — so books can't be sourced to the webpage of their own publisher, and plays can't be sourced to the webpage of their own producing theatre company. They need to be sourced to media coverage about the books and plays, if you want to ensure that he's safely out of reach of having his notability questioned. Bearcat (talk) 03:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. 1989 (talk) 02:12, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Your edits to Jeannine Hall Gailey
You had added in Jeannine Hall Gailey that her work focuses on women's issues. While her work does have a strong female POV, I felt like this was too limiting of a description. I replaced your comment with a more complete description of the focus of her work (pop culture, fairy tales, SciFi, etc...). Hopefully, you can agree with my edits.

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate


Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!
