A barnstar for you!

 * Holy crap, 3 barnstars for one article :D. Thanks! --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 00:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The expansion was dead useful. And, the fun part... the article will get a full day on the MP at POTD sometime within the next two months. That's good for another 5k hits, at least. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:29, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Huntington Creek
Hello King jakob c 2. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Huntington Creek, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a valid disambiguation page. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
 * But there's only one existing page linked to on this "disambiguation" page. Even if it isn't explicitly mentioned at WP:CSD, it seems obvious that Huntington Creek (Pennsylvania) should be at Huntington Creek.--Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 00:11, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait. I see you created a stub for the other article. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 00:12, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fishing Creek (North Branch Susquehanna River), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kitchen Creek (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.

I was going to !vote but you already withdrew. I just want you to know that you're an excellent user and sooner or later you'll be an admin also in this Wikipedia if you continue like this. In any case, don't run just for getting the admin position.--Razionale (talk) 15:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your confidence in me. --Jakob (talk) 15:27, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't disappear like some do - but I don't think you will. Get seen in more areas, avoid controversy but don't be afraid of it if you're backed by policy, and keep adding some content. (That's not to please me - I've probably got the lowest ratio of content added to content deleted of anyone around - but it keeps the traps shut on the 'must have content' brigade...) You've indicated that you're going to take note of the opposes and neutrals. Don't be slavish about it. They mightn't all be right. See you around. :) Peridon (talk) 21:46, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!
Hello King jakob c 2, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! , and  17:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Public opinion of same sex marriage
submit this because I edit the part of the text that says that the level of education has influence in the opinion of same sex "marriage" because without a dude, It´s falacious. There are no relation between them and I also think that in many degrees of science or medicine, the mayority of students are against this marriages because in order of science they can´t procreate or even until 1990 It was a disease recognised by very influent experts. I don´t imagine who posted it, probably a militant of gay lobby, who believe that everybody with formation agrees with same sex "marriage" but I am a student who graduates in maths this year and I can say that in my class, the majority are good at mind and understand the meaning of equality: to treat everybody equally with the same conditions, but although some people here don´t think so, two men or two woman are one thing and one men and one woman are other different thing, and in law two differents things should be treated different in order to distinguish them. I would like that you give me a good reason in order to consider that my argument is not valid to edit this part.

Removed Funeral Home reference. Confused by your question: Why not use the image?

 * Thanks for the AGF. The image is being used in the article. Are you saying it should not be used???? The image was uploaded by another editor and then put into the article. It looked correct to me, so I left it. Should I get another picture??? STILL confused.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:43, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm communicating with the Army now and I suspect they will give me a color version of this in the next couple of days - that I can verify came from them. THEN I will submit the color picture in the DYK, as I think it will look a lot better. I'm taking my chances they might promote the article to a DYK queue before then - but either way I get the DYK.

I suspect an error on the Pnictogen article
I think your information about the deadly dose of arsenic isn't really correct (in section toxicity). I suspect it's about a 1000 times more poisonous than mentioned there. I added as much as I know into the 'talk' page for that article. Can you review your source for this, or explain why I know arsenic as a substance that is poisonous in amounts usually expressed in milligrams while the article speaks about a deadly dose of 200 grams?
