See Also & links
Hi Midstrath. You might find it useful to read through Wikipedia's WP:SEEALSO guidance. If a blue-linked term or article is already present in the article text, an additional link in a "See also" section is redundant. The relevant MOS guidance here is that "[See also links] should reflect the links that would be present in a comprehensive article on the topic." Manus marriage is already linked several times in the Marriage in ancient Rome article - and though not vice versa; a deficit in the legal jargon-ridden Manus marriage article, compensated in part by the "See also" addition.

Greetings and an help for Coreca
Good morning from Coreca, Calabria, Italy. I am writing to greet you and know how you are, I am well enough for now. In addition to this I wanted to ask you if you could give a hand of help regarding my small town. Just to help her in the shaky times of the speech, my English is very poor and rusty. Eventually if you can and want to correct and make the text more understandable. Of course I will translate what most aggrandizes you in Italian and Sicilian. waiting to hear your news, I greet you and thank you. Sincerely.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 09:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Tonga (disambiguation)
Please note that disambiguation pages are intended to help readers distinguish between articles whose titles are ambiguous. They are not outlines of every article on a particular subject. Your additions to Tonga (disambiguation) would be much better placed at Outline of Tonga - I suspect that many of them are already there. Leschnei (talk) 12:15, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for expressing interest. Let me know if I can provide any advice or offer logistics support.  Schwede 66  03:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Marking edits as minor
Hi Midstrath. Thanks for your many recent contributions to Mozart Fellowship. I ask that you read WP:NOTMINOR. Contributions such as adding citations are never minor edits, and it is undesirable for such edits to be marked as minor. Please only mark an edit as minor when it complies with the small number of cases described in WP:MINOR. Thanks, Marshelec (talk) 19:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I should have read it more closely. Midstrath (talk) 01:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
