Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited EasyJet, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ITV and John Barton ( 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.

Greetings! Please note that when you close an RM, it is removed by bot from WP:RM. This means that editors can no longer see the discussion on the WP:RM page, even if the admin action is still required to carry out the result. In this case, the RM was closed as "Page moved", although the page was not yet actually moved - I know that this was not your intent, but it could have confused a reader into thinking that whatever page move was being discussed had already been carried out, and there was nothing more to be done. Non-admin closures are definitely appreciated where the consensus is clearly against a move, or the proposed move target is a red link, but may not be such a good idea where further action by an admin is required. I do appreciate that you tagged the existing redirect for deletion, which would have resolved the situation before long anyway. bd2412 T 14:01, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

You recently contributed to a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) § Commas in metro areas. Following a recent related RFC on the wording used at MOS:COMMA in relation to geographic names, a new wording has gathered some support and I have opened a new RFC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style § RFC: Proposed amendment to MOS:COMMA regarding geographical references and dates for further discussion of the proposal, which may interest you. — sroc 💬 08:37, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Like I stated here, why are you doing this type of linking across Wikipedia? I will post about this at WP:SOAPS. Flyer22 ( talk) 23:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Common name does not apply because the word motel has been removed from ALL literature, brochures, headers, signage, etc etc. It is not part of the name of the chain AT ALL. Please move the article back as the name Super 8 Motels does not exist. It is not a "common name". If I have to start an RfC on this issue I will. Camelbinky ( talk) 23:44, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
You relisted the move request for A Boy was Born, where I see misunderstanding, - perhaps because English is not my first language. I would like more eyes on the question, which is related to the more general discussion about capitalisation. Should the project be notified? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:59, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
As a subscriber to one of The Wikipedia Library's programs, we'd like to hear your thoughts about future donations and project activities in this brief survey. Thanks and cheers, Ocaasi t | c 15:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
I've created an RM for the naming of the Space Quest series. Since you participated in the Space Quest V RM, you may be interested in commenting on this proposal. -- BDD ( talk) 21:24, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi amakuru, and happy new year! Wishing you all the best for 2014. I wanted to let you know that I went through and applied class and importance rankings to all Rwanda tagged articles, so if you go to the Rwanda project page you'll see how the articles are breaking down now. Amazingly, the ensemble of articles under this project is in really good shape. I don't know if it was you single handedly or the work of several editors with you among them but either way, bravo!! There are a lot that are just about ready for GA, and could probably pass FA as well with minimal work. Most of the top and high importance articles are well developed, and there are relatively few low importance Rwanda articles (so no "fluff"). This is probably one of the best off (if not the best off) Africa projects at this point. Thank you so much for being a major contributor to that, and for all the work you're doing that flies under the radar. Regrading the articles has shined a spotlight on your work and I didn't want to miss the chance to acknowledge all your effort on here. It's truly valuable. Cheers, Carrie - Lemurbaby ( talk) 01:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rwandan Revolution, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Katanga ( 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.

Hi Amakuru, Hopefully you don't mind the new section. I just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for your support & encouragement late last year. Greatly appreciate the warm & friendly welcome and everything that you did. Looking forward to working on building a better encyclopaedia! Thanks again - Ryk72 ( talk) 13:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Amakuru, do you mind if I combine the histories of User:BanyanTree/Luc Marchal and User:Amakuru/Luc Marchal. Somebody just copyedited my userspace draft and I'd like to move all of the history to your draft and redirect to you, so I can delete my page once Google appears to have caught up.

Some editors delete the entries on their talk page rather than archiving them. See here, it may give you a wider perspective of what was going on. -- PBS ( talk) 12:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:RwandaAirportAuthority2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Diannaa ( talk) 20:26, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amakuru,
I was looking at the Rwandan Revolution page, which I believe to be almost entirely your work, and wondered if you might ever consider finishing the article? As it is, it appears to be an excellent start, but finishes rather abruptly. Are you still intending to complete it? Brigade Piron ( talk) 20:33, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amakuru. Editors are trying to establish what would be the best lede paragraph for this page here. Some of the suggested phrasing involves African immigrants to the United States. As such, it may be of interest to you and other WikiProject Rwanda members. Best regards, Middayexpress ( talk) 16:03, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
