Ilya Zhitomirskiy
Hiya. I'm writing in connection to this edit you made.

Actually, you posted in the wrong place - the correct place would have been at Talk:Ilya Zhitomirskiy - but not to worry.

I assume you refer to Ilya Zhitomirskiy.

You said "... Zhitomirskiy died last Saturday, not Monday ... ". Well, the article says he died on Nov. 12, which is in fact Saturday. Were you confused? Trafford09 (talk) 14:51, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Indeed I was (that's what happens when you type fast -- you lose things -- oops!). But the log of "recent deaths" has him on Monday, Nov. 14. Hence I'm requesting the change, to move it to Nov. 12.

I see. Where would I find this log of "recent deaths"?

BTW, when posting on any talk page, please wp:sign too. Trafford09 (talk) 16:07, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The "recent deaths" page, linked from the front. Maybe it's tagged Deaths in 2011?


 * What's wp:sign? Usually my updates (heretofore unsigned, solely by IP address) are fairly minor and uncontroversial; I've never really done discussion much, so this is new to me -- sorry!


 * D'oh. You linked to it. Let's see if I do this right....

✅ You were right with your link to Deaths in 2011, which I've now duly altered.

You were almost right too with your signing, except that if you use 4 tildes ( ~ ) then it adds a time-stamp too, and link to your talk page, for people to easily get back to you.

Two other tips:
 * 1) When replying to a post started by somebody else, it's convention to indent your replies. I've done that for you for your above replies, by adding a ':' character before each new line of yours.
 * 2) Whenever editing an article, talk page or anything, please supply a wp:ES with each edit.

But you're getting the hang of it :) Trafford09 (talk) 17:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
