thanks

for disambiguating Cucuron Tom B (talk) 13:08, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


for removing my frivolous entries on shaving and baldness so efficiently: I'm sure accuracy would thank you, even if entertainment might not. You have at least inspired me to get a Wiki ID, though. Hutch 1979 (talk) 13:58, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Would you like to meet Jimmy Wales in Bristol 13th Jan 2011?

As you may have heard Jimmy Wales is coming to give a talk at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol on 13th January 2011 as part of wikipedia's 10th birthday celebrations. There is a possibility of a small group of local active wikipedians to meet him for 20 mins before the talk. If you are interested could you respond on the centralised discussion on the Bristol wikiproject talk page?— Rod talk 20:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

you reverted my additive edits at Shawn Johnson

1. Better to manually delete the single word by the IP vandal than cut all my work, as well.

2. If you don't agree with the edits, at least a text comment would be good.

Henry Doubleday

You must have made a mistake while resolving disambiguation in the following edits: [2] [3]. Mithril (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I changed the existing links from Henry Doubleday to Henry Doubleday (1808–1875). The other Henry Doubleday (1810-1902) was a starch manufacturer and horticulturist who only published works on horticulture. Now that I look a little more closely it is evident that the pre-existing link to Henry Doubleday was wrong and it should in fact be be Edward Doubleday. As in "Doubleday, E.,1842 : Characters of undescribed Lepidoptera". Is this your understanding too? I will try cross checking the Henry Doubleday (1808–1875) attributions with Wikispecies and known publication dates, and bear in mind that it was Edward who travelled to America and worked on the BMNH collection. William Avery (talk) 22:42, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
I only meant that you had put two different authorities to the same butterfly species on that pages. Mithril (talk) 23:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Roger Scruton

Hi William, I've posted an RfC at Talk:Roger Scruton—see here—to ask whether the neutrality tag should remain on the article. There are a number of issues in dispute; if you could comment even on just one of them, or your overall impression of the article's balance, that would be very helpful. I'm leaving this note because you've edited the article or talk page, but if you have no interest in commenting, please feel free to ignore the request. Cheers, SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 20:54, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Hi I saw you just edited Woodhall Lincs (and improved it) thanks! Im a bit new, learnt Infoboxes today - but I edited {Eastville, Lincolnshire|Eastville]] earlier and added the photo with it, and it came up with some ugly markup text and the image is offcentre. Request help in resolving both issues, so I can understand and do this much better. Many thanks Panderoona (talk) 21:28, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:MrSheen.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MrSheen.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 22:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks; looks like I botched that vandalism reversion attempt. Good fix. I've requested temporary semi-protection until this photo blows over. TJRC (talk) 21:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Burst switching, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Optical network (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Author/William Avery

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Nasal polyps. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.Hydra Rain (talk) 16:56, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mr Avery, I saw your survey response. Can you please e-mail me to nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk so we can arrange the interview or alternatively, I can send you the interview questions which you can complete in your own time and send it back to me. Thank you for your interest in my study! Nuša Hydra Rain (talk) 14:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Mr. Avery,

Hi William, I noticed your edit to fix a disambiguation link to National Federation of the Blind on the White cane article. I thought it was a frankly ridiculous disambiguation page (though I know it was made in good faith), so I nuked it and undid all your link fixes to it. Hope you don't mind.

Hi William I truly disagree with the content of the descriptions. You must not have these thumbs, because I am sure if you did you would certainly not approve of the content either. I strongly believe the content now presented should be suitable for any persons looking to find more information on this condition. Thanks very much for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yes men88 (talkcontribs) 21:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello William Avery. I would like to ask you about this edit. My reading of WP:ENGVAR, especially WP:RETAIN says that the first major contributor sets the variety of English for topics with no strong national ties. The first version of the article seems to be in US English or something close to it. There is a minor discussion going on on the talk page but it may have gone stale. One contributor is asserting a consensus for British English which I do not see. There does seem to be a few editors who are defending British English in the article but I am not sure from what grounds they are arguing. On what grounds did you make your revert in light of the original version of the article? It would seem to me that following the MOS here would be a good thing and might tone down the English version changes in the article especially since those editing to US English seem to have the MOS on their side. What do you think? Thanks. WTucker (talk) 13:10, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I reverted on the grounds that it was tendentious and unexplained. You don't seem to have picked up on the part of WP:RETAIN that says"Such debates waste time and engender controversy, mostly without accomplishing anything positive", so just leave it alone.

X Factor (U.S.)

Would you tell me why you would accept the unexplained and incorrect edit (per MOS) by Astro775, which was basically a reversion of my edit? This person is very inexperienced and most of his edits have been reverted.

Also, why is it that Keith Okamoto's edits are automatically accepted and not mine? He doesn't have reviewer rights either. --Musdan77 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

The only cast iron reasons to reject are given at Wikipedia:Reviewing#Reviewing_process, none of which I judged to be present. It's not otherwise intended as a reflection of the merits of the edits or editors involved.
Log here shows 'Auto-review: requires "autoconfirmed"' also called "Pending changes level 1 protection". This means only 'autoconfirmed' is needed, which both users involved have. Looking at the review log I don't understand why his last edit was automatically accepted, because it included preceding changes by IP users. You could try asking at WP:PUMPTECH.
