Disambiguation link notification for August 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hogan's Heroes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page White Russian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hemisphere differentiation and Wikipedia
Thank you for helping out with State Fair (novel). I appreciate your efforts to fix up Wikipedia!

To better assist with that, I need to talk about hemisphere differentiation. I do this because many readers come from the southern hemisphere: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and non-English speaking countries there. Because of that, they may think of "summer" as being in December. I use "northern hemisphere" to make it crystal clear to a worldwide audience which summer it's talking about.

Also, about this, I understand that repetition is something to be avoided, but I also try to be careful to avoid changing what the source material says. I do not know the fictional town's distance to Des Moines. If the town is in the opposite end of the state a case could be made that they are not a "local" to the area around Des Moines.

If this was set in Texas I would have certainly reverted that edit unless I knew that the fictional town was in close distance to the big city, because there would have been the possibility the family would have been from another part of the state.

 * To be honest, if you feel that international readers cannot reason that an American writer, living in the United States, making a decision during a calendar year needs to have the qualification of Northern Hemisphere included, then go ahead.  Frankly, its reads in a stilted manner.  I find the convention one of the silly reasons why I don't contribute to Wikipedia any longer.  I don't mean to be flip, and I don't mean to insult your reasoning, since it is inline with Wikipedias agreed upon conventions.  To me it appears stilted.  As for not tampering with source material, if it is so important that it remain as exact as the source had it, shouldn't it be in quotation marks?  Just curious, have you read the book?   It's been forty years for me since I read it. Sjkoblentz (talk) 21:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File:Skylark's Good Will Tour of Marion, Ohio.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Orphaned non-free image File:Skylark&#39;s Good Will Tour of Marion, Ohio.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Skylark&. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:39, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
