Thanks for reviewing and approving the article ... wow, all these Yellowknife ones are coming in all of a sudden!
Re combining those grafs: While I did include citations in my intro because I didn't know how long the article was going to be at that time (and, patrol-exemption notwithstanding, you don't want to come back from the break you took after the initial creation and find that someone speedied the article for not having sources ... it has almost happened, even recently), generally I don't per WP:LEADCITE unless there's some overwhelming reason, like it's an extraordinary claim such as a superlative or unique fact about the subject or a negative fact about an LP. Or if it's the DYK hook fact. The logic is that every statement you make in an intro is to be expanded upon and fully sourced in the article, so an excess of citations there is a hindrance to readability.
Funny that this should happen to me, though, as I just got off having the inverse of this argument in another nomination where I was the reviewer. The nominator there absolutely refused to cite the hook fact in the intro despite my pleas, because he had this absolutist reading of LEADCITE that there shalt be no cites in an intro.
I suppose we've got to strike a balance on this. Daniel Case ( talk) 02:12, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

She (and I) do that regularly. Frequently moving turtles off busy highways (we do try to put them where they are going, not where they've been). But snappers necks and jaws are very quick and hurtful. Not to be trifled with. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
The three wooden kayaks all have built in retractable
skegs. Very controllable under all but the worst conditions. Once you've tried one you will never go back to a
rudder. One of those is smaller (my wife's). One is built as an expedition boat, although it is long and fast. The third is very long, narrow, and very fast, but inexperienced paddlers would deem it to be temperamental, tippy and dangerous. And it would be for them.
The plastic boats are shorter surf kayaks. They turn on a dime, but one has to work to control them in wind (and know how to do it). But they are open and comfortable in the right weather, but too cold early and late in the season.
Of course, we always wear wet suits (dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature) and life jackets (those who merely carry them have no idea how impossibly hard they are to put on when you are in the water). It's not a question of "if" you are going over, but "when." It is no different than wearing a helmet when bicycling, skiing or roller blading.

The notification mechanism will notify User:Example any time you put User:example, User talk:Example, or any template such as {{U|Example}}, {{ping|Example}}, or {{reply-to|Example}}, PROVIDED you "sign" your message and provided that it is on a Talk page or a Wikipedia: page. It's unclear what happens if you "re-sign" an existing message by over-writing the existing signature - I don't think the notification is sent in that case but I could be wrong.
Editing an existing message to change User:Example to @ Example: is not supposed to send a second notification.

Hi 7&6=thirteen,
Just like at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Knauss (2nd nomination), we have more examples of editors nominating longevity-related articles for deletion when the best thing to do would be to have a single discussion on the project page (for example, this, this, this, and this). Just a few days ago, these editors were trying to delete biographies because "the information is better presented on a list" but now they want to delete the lists as well. If you have any time to look over this situation, it would be much appreciated. Cheers! -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 23:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

7&6=thirteen, I've just removed the above template from December 15, leaving Template:Did you know nominations/Alex Moffat (trade unionist) as is, since the Alex template is already being reviewed as a double hook. If Abe stayed, there's a risk that you'd end up with separate reviewers for identical hooks on the two templates.
If you end up needing to split it into two nominations, one for each article, by all means add a new single hook to Abe and restore the template to December 15. If Alex goes all the way as a double hook, then all you'll need to do is speedy delete the Abe template. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 16:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit at WP:Articles for deletion/Seema Sonik Alimchand. Unfortunately, "I agree with" recommendations do not receive much weight.

I told him you’d been good, made lots of useful edits, did not engage in, but fought against vandalism, were always willing to come to the aid of a friend, were a downright upright editor who had generally made wikipedia a better place in 2015 than you found it in 2014.

Could you please take a look at user Legacypac and his mass removal of information on several pageant-subject articles. He also mass redirects articles on the same subject without consensus. Even though several of them have sources and should have been the subject of discussion and/or AfD. Atleast take a look. Special:Contributions/Legacypac. I also question the users AfD pattern on the subject, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriella_Brum, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tamara_Fazzolari just as a few bits of this pattern of nominating notable pageant contestants. Also [5], [6], [7] as just a few diffs of tantrums made by the users after I simply made !votes at AfDs concerning these subject. And I can give you diffs at similar attacks/tantrums directed at other users for a very long time back if needed. Just a thing like the unwarranted warning with underlining threats of repercussions if I did not remove a simple suggestion of not using IDONTLIKEIT at AfDs seems to be out of order. In this diff he removed a comment from me after he repeatedly had contacted me in a harassing way and changed it to appear as a usual discussion. I am not saying that the user is bad but the user is indeed in my opinion doing edits in mass production and attacks or contacts users in a aggressive way for simply stating an opinion at AfDs. He also removed a comment which is in his right within his talk page but still disruptive. But I dont know, atleast take a look. Regards,-- BabbaQ ( talk) 00:29, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

I think they are useful and should be usable. Many times they are the only source for information on gravesites and cemeteries (which are usually linked in their articles about the palls). Often they have information and photos not available anywhere else. This is their business. I find it ironic that a wiki based organization like wikipedia sniffs at the 'unreliabiltiy' of FindaGrave. I don't see why they can't be seen as corroborative (and therefore cumulative) of matters that are already reliably sources. And I think that there use as an external link helps our readers. The need for the link and the reliability of any article ought to be done individually. An a priori rule throws out a lot of babies with the bath water. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:14, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

I wonder if the "book" added to the AfD page (and as a reference to the article) is in fact a wikipedia "reprint", as seems to be the case for all the Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn efforts? We don't usually quote Wikipedia reprints as the source of verification of the Wikipedia content. Any comment(s)? FeatherPluma (talk) 01:19, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
Were you actually able to open the book and find 156 pages, or did you make the mistake of relying in good faith on the front page Google info, not noticing it says "High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!" (their exclamation mark) ? All of Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn efforts fool you by presenting huge page numbers, often by pulling in other Wikipedia articles that are "related" -- basically by using the pdf builder function of the Wikipedia article printer. So these entirely arbitrary page numbers make you think these are real books. But if you try to actually get the book you will discover the "book" doesn't exist on Amazon or on any print book sales site, and how there isn't an e-book either etc. At least this is the case as far as I know. I am sorry but I think you may have fallen for a reprint ruse. Amazon got rid of all of these rip offs from its list a few years ago, because it was the money front of this scam, but nobody ever got Google to delist the stuff. Run a google search of < jesse russell ronald cohn wikipedia > and take a look at what comes up, or run < inauthor:"Ronald Cohn" > or one for < inauthor:"jesse russell > (omit the carets). Or look at this [8], this [9], and particularly this [10], and notice "Bookvika Publishing, VSD, Book on Demand Ltd — automated print-on-demand books, content entirely sourced from WIKIPEDIA. Editor of Wikipedia article books." As far as I know, Amazon pulled all this crap off its sales list a few years ago because it was a scam. I'm pretty sure this reference is a damp squib. If you check it out, you may want to strike your AfD comment and remove the circular reference in the article. FeatherPluma ( talk) 02:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
OK. I am being very nice, trying to help you. Maybe let's see if I can make things clearer. This "book" is a Wikipedia content reprint. Google says so. So this is not anything close to a reliable source. Relying on that one Google page without noticing that it explicitly admits this is Wikipedia content and without checking what the 156 page claim represents is an understandable mistake. Lots of people fell for this a few years ago. But once this self-referencing is pointed out, nobody is going to buy this crap rather than junking this "book" as a non-reliable source, and I have explained why. I will politely give you some time to assess this properly and amend or alter your AfD input if you chose (or not). I'm not invested in or against the article yet because I haven't fully assessed other possible sources. I was just explaining why I will undo your addition of this (useless) source. Best wishes. FeatherPluma ( talk) 03:16, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
BTW, there is a Wikipedia prohibited link (because we collectively know this site is a scam) which you can discern if you join this head < http://www.infi > to this tail < beam.com/Books/radoljub-kanjevac-lambert-m-surhone/9786131364204.html > : make one url by linking the "fi" at the end of the head to the "be" at the start of the tail so you have an 8 letter word, which will run infobeam, then run the link in your browser. You will find that this "bbok" has the same problem. The great thing about this link to the "book" by Lambert M Surhone, Mariam T Tennoe, Susan F Henssonow is you can explicitly see the large red circle telling you it's... Wikipedia reprints. 86 (sexy?) Wikipedia reprinted pages, for shame. And YET, it's for sale for $46 and some (!!!). And even better, there's a preamble of the content. Woops, you will observe that it is 100% identical to guess what? Yes, Wikipedia, self-same page we are talking about! I am not picking on you, just trying to explain why this type of recycled content doesn't work. I am sure you will be able to sniff this scam for yourself in future. By the way, that butterfly you have fly in here on this page is freaky cool. Can I nab the code for it? Me like very muchly. Good luck. FeatherPluma ( talk) 03:49, 22 January 2016 (UTC) P.S.

Hi, I've had a GA/N ready since Aug 2015, it is #2 on the list, and I was hoping to get it reviewed. It was converged upon last year by a few members of Proj Med who went to the extreme of delisting it because of a couple of minor citation issues and what they felt was "puffery" so those issues have long been addressed, and the article is stable.

Hi. As you were pretty good in writing up the description of the DreamWorks Image Review System in the Rahul Thakkar article, I was wondering whether you might be interested in doing the same for the Sony Pictures Imageworks Itview system in the Cottalango Leon article I created yesterday. You will find that I have given many good references where Leon describes the Itview system. You could use these for help. Also, I will be adding much more to the article in the next couple of days (like Early days, The 2016 Academy Award sections), but if you want to add anything, please feel free.

The Racz review started on 1/29 so we're looking at 10 days, and I've got a couple of other articles going in for GA, one possibly for FA and I'd actually like to start doing some GA reviews.

Good morning. I was thinking of reviewing some articles at DYK after work today. I'm curious why you introduced redlinks into Carl Edgar Myers with this [15] edit? I haven't researched the redlinked newspapers, etc., so I don't know if each of the redlinks will meet notability requirements, but that aside, at least the first one, Herkimer Telegram, has a Wikipedia article, The Telegram (Herkimer), so should have been bluelinked. Commonly, we don't redlink items in references and now there's a sea of redlinks in the ref section, so truly, I'm baffled by the edit, though I'm sure it was in good faith as you are a seasoned editor. :) Cheers, -- Rosiestep ( talk) 15:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

See this thread on my talk page. I also see original research added, which was another reason I reverted. If the issue was simply because of one word, I would have simply fixed it. But the OR made me take pause. Your input is always welcome; I want to make sure that I'm doing what's right and that the quality of the article (and project) remains the top-most priority. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 13:46, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi dear User:7&6=thirteen, I note that you reverted my edit on the Mansehra page which I did in quite good faith, for the following reasons: (a) it contains material that is obviously false and made-up, with no historical basis whatsoever, it has been added by someone just for self-promotion of self and/or tribe or clan, a common problem in articles from Pakistan, many of which I cover and edit from time to time, trying to bring reality to these; and (b) it thus contains no references to support it, since it cannot be supported, being fake. If it's ok, I shall now remove this material again, thanks. If you think it should stay or be adapted, then please discuss. Regards AsadUK200 ( talk) 12:33, 14 April 2016 (UTC)AsadUK200
Hello!
I made a new page / contribution on Dr. Erik Matser today. But could not see it IRL when I search: Erik Matser? Is it not posted?
Thanks for your answer & help to post this page of Dr. Erik Matser.
Best wishes!

Hello 7. Thanks for checking on the updated link at the Alpen CC article as you did here. Just so you know you need to change the "false" in the template to "true" - as I did here - otherwise the article stays in the Category:Articles with unchecked bot-modified external links even though you have checked it. Thanks again for this and for all the other work that you do here at WikiP. Cheers. MarnetteD| Talk 17:44, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

On 4 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Margareta Hallin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that soprano Margareta Hallin could have performed internationally, but decided to stay in her homeland instead? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Margareta Hallin. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I recently posted asking for a WikiProject Biography/Military reassessment on an article I created, Nathaniel G. S. Hart. The editor who reassessed it for WikiProject Biography/Military changed some of the other WikiProject assessments. Could you please assess it for WikiProject Michigan? I would post at the Michigan assessment page but those posts seem to be a couple years old. Thanks in advance, Shearonink ( talk) 03:55, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I took a close look at this today. Your ref work on the article last year SOOOOO improved it. The dropping prices for his work are a 2-edged sword – they're now more affordable, but seem to be being bought up by dealers who anticipate future gains. There was a major sale of his works in March, close to 30 pieces, which did respectably, but nothing like a decade ago. Best, == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 19:40, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your edits at I.O.O.F. Centennial Building. I'm trying to find out if the building was actually designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979 (as stated in the List of Michigan State Historic Sites in Alpena County), but I can't find online sources proving that.

No harm, no foul. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 11:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
I am trying to move the previous "Name" section (about the wrong name for Hart in many texts) into "Notes". I want to nest the references but am running into some difficulty. PLEASE do not go ahead and fix the present issues yourself. I need to understand how to adjust the present issue so I really want to do it at the article. WOUld appreciate discussing it here on your page first.
The "sfn"/Harvard style templates work great but what I am trying to do is nest the Notes... I could go
Wikipedia:Nesting footnotes
Embedding references but I can'f figure out how to make all that work... Right now I have listed the refs outside the Note so they look all bunched up. Any help you could give on this would be great but again, I'm like a toddler on this score, please walk me through what is possible so I can wikicode it myself and understand it for next time. Thanks,

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Jeffrey Hudson into Pop out cake. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa ( talk) 22:12, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Milam Building you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Thank you for the acknowledgement!
However, I'm afraid I don't necessarily see a whole lot of meaning in such a milestone per se, I also don't use Wikipedia:Service awards, and it seems you were the only person who noticed this. So while I am indeed happy that another random Wikipedian found something to be happy about with another random Wikipedian, I don't think it's significant enough to display on my user page, and it runs the risk of encouraging WP:editcountitis :) I hope you don't mind. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 11:50, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
