Jefferson page
Hi Jadon,

Thanks for your edit. Yes, what you encountered and corrected on the Jefferson page was typical. I have just spent the last several months chasing after a couple of editors who in my opinion were out to ruin the page. At one point the slavery/Heming's sections took up about seven pages -- while the other sections were being gutted and ignored. - Again, thanks for your help, Gwillhickers (talk) 23:43, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

References and lead
You added some text to Hoyle's fallacy and Watchmaker analogy and Ultimate Boeing 747 gambit. The text is good, but there are some issues that I don't have the energy to fix at the moment, so I thought I would tell you about them.

First, per WP:LEAD, it is not satisfactory to add a new argument to the lead of an article because the lead is supposed to be a summary of what follows. Second, it is a problem when more or less identical text is added to three different articles—duplication suggests that some rearrangement is required.

Finally, there is a reference problem. Templates like harvnb can be difficult to use as they require the harvnb with the cited text, and the citation itself. To demonstrate the problem, click the "[N]" following the cited text in any of the articles (N is 1 or 2 or whatever). Then click the linked "Richerson & Boyd 2005" and observe that nothing happens. To see what should happen, try the same with the refs in an article like Charles Darwin's education.

Another issue is that it is not satisfactory to mix reference styles in an article, and there needs to be a very good reason before an existing style is changed. That means that when a reference is added, it should use the style of other references in the article (so harvnb should not be used in these articles). Johnuniq (talk) 22:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Jadon, thank you. It honestly wasn't easy, but I tried to be nice. Vyselink (talk) 00:35, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Yahweh
Thanks for your recent edit to Yahweh. It's a valid edit, and useful, but can you find books for your sources? The problem with Internet references is that they can be easily challenged. Regards PiCo (talk) 21:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
