This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Leo Igwe, from its old location at User:TedDougal'n'Jack/sandbox.

If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:56, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The One (TV program), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Psychometry. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

detection of gravity and levity on wikipedia
It would have been very easy to have taken your comment at the Gravity Discovery Centre as being literal rather than what could be possibly humorous without any designation as to which way it was taken. It can be a tricky stance if there is no indication of which way it is meant to be... JarrahTree 10:49, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

In the last 15 years there have been editors who really exhausted themselves trying to inculcate a sense of scientific thinking into subject areas that they had very literalist views of things - User:science apologist (since disappeared) was a notable rager through areas he/she had problems with. Thanks for adding the link - best of luck. JarrahTree 05:20, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Its all bollocks without WP:RS
All the hard work comes to naught without adequate citations - it is seen as either WP:COPYVIO territory or WP:OR - please make an effort to find ways to substantiate all the extra bits. JarrahTree 06:01, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:33, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Susan. Sorry for the long silence. I got quite busy (I now have 3 part-time jobs!) and also lost my confidence a little after that edit of the Gravity Discovery Centre, in which I couldn't find good reference to quote, etc. I should probably revisit it and see if I can at least tie up a few loose ends. Maybe you can suggest a way forward on that and then I can move on to helping with the stubs, for example? TedDougal&#39;n&#39;Jack (talk) 02:06, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Just move on ahead and don't look back on it, nothing has to be perfect and maybe you will come back to it later. Sgerbic (talk) 03:54, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Enthusiasm
Sheesh, hard to know where to go with this - The Nats article has been given your enthusiastic approach, and is, in one sense 'great!!', but lack what is needed for a genuine wikipedia encyclopedia article -


 * WP:RS does not mean a large collection of links to the website, WP:ONESOURCE


 * WP:MOS specifically states that external links are not specifically exposed in text

I will try to start the repair job, (no doubt hampered by others) to give you a sense of

what is needed to recover the article - please understand that wikipedia is not a website,

but an encyclopedia that is tied to reliable sources. Recent social events do not make an article, you maybe need to find blog space for things like that.

Please be patient, and please take note of what edits follow you, in good faith, thanks JarrahTree 09:51, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
