Incredible String Band
Per MOS:U.S., there is no need to change "US" to "U.S.". The article is written in British English, in which "US" is more common. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:54, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for edits to Little Richard
Thanks for your edits to Little Richard. Much improved. Willondon (talk) 06:22, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Champion Jack Dupree
Hi Jwicklatz. Many thanks for tidying up over at Champion Jack Dupree. With regard to the connection between "Big Leg Emma's" and rap, what do you make of this? But I guess may well still be WP:UNDUE at the Dupree article. Cheers. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:54, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!
I'm grateful for all the copy-editing work you've been doing on blues and R&B-related articles. It's been noticed, and it is much appreciated - long may it continue! Thank you. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Please do not use ca. as an abbreviation for circa, particularly when overriding the original c. As per WP:MOS; the Wikipedian accepted version is 'c.'  Thank you,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 12:23, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing this out to me. I have undone my previous edits changing "c." to "ca." Please let me know if I have made other edits that are objectionable. With best wishes, Jwicklatz (talk) 02:08, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Update questions
was a very well respected editor of music articles, but has not edited here since July 3, 2018. I came across an obituary report in the Star Tribune, Minneapolis, reporting on the death of James David Wicklatz, as follows: "IN MEMORIAM Wicklatz, James David Age 67, died of cancer one year ago, on August 22, 2018, at his home in Minneapolis. He was the son of the late John E. and Dorothy Gray Wicklatz. Jim graduated from Wayzata High School, earned his B.A. at Amherst College, and received an M.A. from the University of Pittsburgh. For over 30 years he worked in publishing, mostly as a meticulous and exacting editor of scientific books for the American Phytopathological Society. A book-lover and typophile, he was a long- time member of the Ampersand Club. He also had a keen interest in the history of blues and rock music and a talent for droll mimicry. Above all, Jim was a loving and kind husband, brother, son, and friend, ever considerate and patient. He endured his debilitating illness with courage and grace. He is survived by Elisabeth Sovik, his beloved and devoted wife for 34 years; by his dear sister, Trina Greger, and her husband, Bill Greger; and by his sister-in-law, Katherine Sovik-Siemens, and her husband, Brian Siemens, and their children, Paul Sovik-Siemens (Kim) and Martha Walker (Marlon). Many thanks to Jim’s medical oncologist, Dr. Paul Thurmes, who for four years ably and kindly guided Jim and Elisabeth down a long, hard road. Jim’s remains were cremated, and by his request his ashes will be strewn by his loved ones in a private gathering." Obviously I hope that this is not our editor.  Can anyone confirm or provide any other information?   Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)  PS: It may also be relevant that Jwicklatz also edited the article on Plant pathology.
