Thanks for your review of my DYK nomination of Australia women's national wheelchair basketball team at the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Much appreciated. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 20:14, 19 February 2013 (UTC) |
Hey Abyssal; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 21:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

![]() | On 21 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Timeline of plesiosaur research, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that multiple Leptocleidus skeletons have been found preserved as gemstone quality opal over the course of the history of plesiosaur research? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Timeline of plesiosaur research. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Please reconsider this; academic journals don't allow it, and nor should we. Ref tags are retrospective, so unless there's some particularly contentious statement, they shouldn't be repeated for every sentence in a para. Ugly and disruptive to readers. Tony (talk) 01:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Abyssal
I notice that WP still has a couple of separate pages which go by the name of Inferior Oolite and Inferior Oolite Formation which you suggested back in 2011 that you might get around to 'merging next week' - I have those sort of intentions too!
Meanwhile I've been putting together articles and article stubs eg Geology of Cambridgeshire which reference the Inferior Oolite Group and the Great Oolite Group. Ideally these pages want to be merged and retitled as 'Inferior Oolite Group' as the sequence is now formally known (and likewise with Great Oolite/ Great Oolite Formation as 'Great Oolite Group') - see eg http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?pub=INO and http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?pub=GOG I thought I'd drop you a line before I did anything in case you had plans in mind.
thanks Geopersona ( talk) 12:09, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Abyssal, it has been 12 days since you said you'd get right on the issues raised here, and the two major articles are as yet unaddressed. As you can see from the nomination page, one of the editors is on the verge of rejecting the nomination due to its age and the slowness of your edits to fix matters. I advise you to respond as soon as you see this, and to give this nomination your top priority; I just hope it isn't too late when you see this. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey Abyssal. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:48, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
