Do Not add commas to Margaret Lea Houston article
This article went through the Featured Article candidacy. Those commas break up the sentences in really awkward ways. Please do not add them again on Margaret Lea Houston. — Maile (talk) 00:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
Thanks for the fix of the giant voting map - it was as easy as that! I copied the image from the German Wikipedia (where the informations and discussions are much more exhaustive, by the way) - "mini" is an English word, but no keyword in the template...

Furthermore, do you have material or an idea to rearrange the present information in order to fix the neutrality issue? Even if only partly justified, it can destroy the last chances to get the important news accepted for the start page. (But I have to finish for tonight.)

Comma campaign
Hello- It appears you have some misconceptions about how commas are used in English. Please discontinue your campaign of adding commas where they don't belong. There are many resources available to help you learn their proper use. Here's one on the Oxford Dictionary site. Eric talk 23:18, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Battle of Molino del Rey, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Francisco Pérez and Antonio León ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Battle_of_Molino_del_Rey check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Battle_of_Molino_del_Rey?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Punctuation edit
Well, I stand corrected! I apologize for undoing your edit, though I must say that stylistically the unpunctuated version seems preferable to me; the style guide says we should parse the "Texas" as a parenthetical, but it certainly isn't an appositive ("Texas" is not an alternative name for "Castroville"), and I would think that for it to be some other kind of parenthetical it would need a preposition or something (e.g. "Castroville, located in south Texas, ..."). I was parsing "Castroville, Texas" as a single (idiomatically structured) noun phrase, after which punctuation of course would not be needed there. Anyway! I find this sort of thing interesting. But, though I think it reads more smoothly without the second comma, I support sticking to an established style guide, and I again apologize for incorrectly "correcting" you. Thanks for your work! :) -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 14:59, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Édouard-Jean Empain
Hey, I noticed you restored the date of birth and death, but it doesn't look like you added a citation to show which reliable source these came from. I specifically removed them in the preceding edit because I couldn't find a source which gave a birth year (especially given there are conflicting ages in the death sources), let alone a date. Please can you add the citation to the reliable source in which you found the birth date? Yes, I'm aware your edit summary says frwiki, but I'm assuming you did check the sources they use, right?

Hello, I'm Helloheart. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍  ‍  02:20, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Confusing comment
In this comment you’ve indented under mine and started by quoting me, so it looks like a reply to me, but then you reference “you” in “Cork (city) isn't as unlike Chihuahua (city) as you claim.”, and that’s not me, but Red Slash. I get your point but it could be confusing. —-В²C ☎ 14:02, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
