Reading random articles.
I started off mostly doing your thing "I like to read random articles and sometimes make additions or corrections."

Then I realised that if I searched for spelling errors, say "oposition" instead of "opposition", I would get to see plenty of random articles and have something to do as well.

Try this some time!! Tabletop (talk) 01:43, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Cathedral arch references?
Mike, regarding your Cathedral arch article, do you have any references where the concept is defined in general context? I have only found the term applied specifically to the Galena Creek Bridge. Perhaps that is the archetype (no pun intended) of the design? In any case, it would be nice to be able to refer to the original source. T71024 (talk) 17:47, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey T7 - I looked around a bit, but couldn't find any references. I remember reading an engineering article, perhaps about the Galena Creek Bridge, in which the term Cathedral arch was used. Not finding a Wikipedia article on the topic, this prompted me to make the article. I'll check our engineering library at work here to see if any hard-copy references define Cathedral arch. Mike P.

Hello, I'm Solarra. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Cache Creek (Sacramento River), because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪  ߷  ♀ 投稿 ♀  01:10, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
