User talk:Zedmelon

Hello; zedmelon here. Like (hopefully) most users, my Wikipedia edits have been earnest attempts at improving their respective pages; hopefully they'll be seen as such.

I generally change little more than phrasing or spelling, and though my writing skills aren't quite as sharp as they once were, I still gawts some purdy good grammaticals.

Please leave messages here, and I'll reply to them as soon as I'm able. Note that this sometimes can take a few days. Thanks.

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) 22:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Restoration of Sistine Chapel ceiling
Thank you for your "purdy good grammaticals". That one had escaped me. Two "ins" was one too few. Amandajm (talk) 02:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Niger River
Over a year late, but I posted a partial reply to your query about geographers' confusion about the Niger River for over two millenia on the Niger River Talk Page. (And yes, it was over two millenia!) --seberle (talk) 06:27, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
