Salmon P. Chase
Tnx for yr edit of a pretty obscure article. I'm not certain that Samuel Chase went unmentioned in Mr. Matlin's AP US History course in 1962-'63, but (unless I was distracted) that scholar (and I presume Morrisson and Commanger's textbook) softpedalled at least the earlier Chase. I had to look up which extravagant denomination of US currency Sam'n's face is on, but my opinion that the difference in given name was not the fault of my failing memory turns out to be pleasingly correct. (Whether my opinion was well founded is of course of no significance... .) --Jerzy•t 05:25, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha, yes, it is certainly easy to confuse the two Chases given their very similar names. Orser67 (talk) 05:30, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Sad, tho, that the correct spellings are Morison and Commager. Oh, well... --Jerzy•t 05:42, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Just wanted to give a quick thanks for your great work on this article!

I hope you keep up the great work and have a happy Thanksgiving! Reywas92Talk 08:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

toggle ref check
Hello, just a note to say that User:Lingzhi2/reviewsourcecheck has been update to add the option to toggle it on or off.

'''The installed script will add a tab to the drop-down tab at the top, located between the 'watchlist star' and the search box (using the vector.js skin). The tab toggles between "Hide ref check" and "Show ref check"''' with displaying the errors as the default option. You may need to edit Special:MyPage/common.js and change User:Lingzhi/reviewsourcecheck to User:Lingzhi2/reviewsourcecheck (add the "2" after User:Lingzhi). Please do drop me a line if you have any problems or suggestions. Tks. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Good to know, and thanks for making this useful tool. Orser67 (talk) 23:09, 2 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry to bother you again. After the addition of a toggle option in the tab atop the page, one editor requested a revised version in which the toggle link appears in the "Tools" section of the page's left sidebar. So now there are two versions of this tool. If you prefer the links in the Toolbar section on the side, the slightly altered script is named User:Lingzhi2/reviewsourcecheck-sb.js (just add "-sb" before the ".js"). Finally, both versions should now also store the page state (whether reference errors/warnings are "hidden" or "shown"). The state persists between page loads and between the browser closing and reopening (unless cleared by the user, for example by deleting data in your browser's cache etc.). Huge thanks to User:Evad37 for much coding help. If you have any questions or problems, please drop me a line. Thanks again. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 08:16, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks
I’m very grateful for your message. I have slowed just a bit since a minor stroke a couple years ago. I’m happy to assist as I can if you can’t get the help you need somewhere. I was recently surprised someone agreed to review a GA nom I made a year ago of an article about my family—Harrison family of Virginia. I’d be glad if you take a look. Happy Thanksgiving. I noticed your work on Pinckney...I crossed paths years ago with a lawyer by the same name; bound to be related. Cheers, pal. Hoppyh (talk) 15:48, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi

I just wanted to say thanks for being cool with everything :)

If you haven;t already seen it, this is quite a good guide How_to_create_and_manage_a_good_lead_section

I have found that in general the guidelines are just that. You will find many places where the guidelines are ignored, sometimes by whole groups of wikipedians, even those that have their own MoS can be quite ascerbic in not adhering to them, and don't hold back in rdefence of "their" articles and styles. One example is bold text. It is often used in TV show cast lists, but it should not be. When an article comes up to GA or FA, that sort of thing is removed. Until then, you wil find it al over the place, some changes will be left, some reverted, some battled over - it can get silly. THe last one I pointed out that their own MOS says "no", but they told me to go away - I have benn called a grammar Nazi, and in the example I just gave, I believe I was called "autistic" or "OCD" or something.

I look forwards to collaborating with you for the next few days on the article :) Chaosdruid (talk) 21:02, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Peace Dove
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   00:38, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John W. Childs


The article John W. Childs has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Seems to fail WP:NBIO/GNG (also some WP:BLP issues). Coverage is in passing, nothing in-depth, I am not seeing a single article about him. He is often mentioned as a major donor, but coverage in such cases ranges from one sentences to a generic paragraph bio-blurb likely submitted by his staff. There is some recent coverage about a solicitation charge, but it raises BLP issues, plus WP:ONEEVENT. No valid redirect/merge target. He seems to keep a relatively low media profile..."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

 * If you add up the states (plus NE and ME congressional districts) where Biden has at least a two-point margin, he has 249 EVs. The state where he has the next largest margin is PA (which he's currently winning by two points); add that he gets to 269. The state where he has the next largest margin is WI (where he's winning by ~0.6 points); add that and he gets over 270. Orser67 (talk) 17:14, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.
