Looking for articles to work on?
Hello, Kegill. I'm SuggestBot, a Wikipedia bot that helps new members contribute to Wikipedia. Based on your previous edits, I have made a list of articles you might like to work on. I hope you find this useful. -- SuggestBot 02:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Another welcome...
Hi, I saw your edits at BP and just dropped in to say welcome to Wikipedia. Given your bio, I'm surprised it took so long!... You might also be interested in the Public Policy Project, which is the first Wikimedia foundation funded group trying to recruit experts at universities (and their students) to collaborate on making articles better. Maybe UWashington has some interested people. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk. Ocaasi (talk) 09:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Your history only had three entries in it, so I'm not sure if it's still there just under another name (or under an i.p.). Also, you still don't have to register, unless you want to work on articles with protection or to get automatically confirmed on articles with the new pending changes feature (Just to make sure you weren't falsely coerced by those who disdain i.p.'s).

I did not leave a message on User:Sven70 talk -> "leftaRELEVNTmsg onmytalk". I don't even know who this person is -- or I didn't until now.

Comments of User:Sven70 deleted, per observation: "Now you're just messaging random people who have nothing to do with this... Can you stop doing that? Netalarm talk 11:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The Canterville Ghost (1995 TV)
Thank you for creating the article, The Canterville Ghost (1995 TV)! When I looked up the film, however, the sources I found say that the it is a 1996 movie rather than 1995. I was wondering if you would be opposed to me moving it The Canterville Ghost (1996 film)? Thanks again for your contributions. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Kathy: Hi! The entry that I created won an Emmy in 1996 -- thus it could not have been /produced/ in 1996! I don't think it should be moved. One of the reasons I created the entry is because of the confusion of so many versions of the title.--Kegill (talk) 23:59, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for getting involved with [GAPS Diet]
I like your sensible & factual rewrite, of what had been badly shredded by aggressively skeptical POV edits. I had been trying to build consensus, around returning to an earlier version of mine -- see GAPS Diet earlier version.

I am happy with your version/ or mine. Your version is nice, and I'd really like not be the "owner" of this article & fight skeptics myself -- but a couple of things from my version could be worth picking up.

1. Diet section. It would be really helpful & informative to people, to explain what's actually in the diet (and what's not). Also detoxification (not in my article) and "die-off" which is apparently the biggest challenge for GAPS dieters.

2. Scientific evidence. "Science is not known as yet to support either SCD or wider GAPS theories, or claims of psychological benefits." This phrase & apparently my version of the article were quoted approvingly by Harriet Hall, who is the doyen of skeptics. Including such a disclaimer may help insulate the article from skeptical POV editing.

Perhaps if you could put some good words in, in support of retaining a sensible NPOV article on GAPS Diet, on the Talk/ Deletion page also!!! This would be really important to avoid your good work just being edited out by others.

Thanks again! Thomas Twhitmore.nz (talk) 03:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Thomas! Sorry I've been AWOL. I'm OK with the disclaimer - wasn't trying to assert ownership but trying to get it up to Wikipedia standards. --Kegill (talk) 07:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
