Sorry, I was taking it personally. Now I realize it wasn't directed at me. Sca ( talk) 18:41, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion. I momentarily misinterpreted your change to the caption. If you'd like to add your comment below my question that would be fine. In any case, no biggie. Best, Sca ( talk) 14:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to Mads Mikkelsen with the reason "removed disambig, not even close". Actually, I placed the disambiguation hatnote in the article because I was confusing Mads Mikkelsen and Michael Madsen, whose names are rather close, and who are in the same field in the same medium—actors in American television shows. " Mads" is the basis for the Danish patronimic " Madsen", while " Mikkelsen" is the patronymic for the Norwegian version of "Michael". Would you please be so kind as to undo your reversion? — DocWatson42 ( talk) 06:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello, may I ask why you do not want to discuss the YouTube interview and article written by an investigative journalist about Wikipedia? If you disagree with her that is fine, just add your comments and get a discussion going. Thank you. IQ125 ( talk) 11:34, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Isa, you might be interested in this segment. – Sca ( talk) 14:46, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Isa, I'm a long time background text editor on wiki. I noticed your reply to the comment about "grim main page". Technically, I agree that if you want to see change, be it or do it. The problem with that, is that few of us have time to learn the whole rigmarole about editing and promoting wiki articles.
This leaves the News section devolving into CNN bloodshed, and Features a steady diet of Australian banksia plants, cricketers and army officers; with side orders of video games, dreadnought battleships, and US minted coins.
The deaths and featured people On This Day are the only things left worth coming to the wikipedia main page for. It used to be a cool place to explore, and I made it my main page back then.
Wikipedia needs to show some leadership, and appoint a senior paid editor to steer the ship a bit and set the balance for the main page.
I mention this to you as you seem connected, and able to advocate for same. The whole wiki universe is a fog patch on the Grand Banks to the rest of us.
Have a nice day. Ben 184.69.174.194 ( talk) 16:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks so much for telling me about the equal signs. That's literally all I needed to know, now I'm good. So is it easier me posting this here instead of keep adding discussion's? And now I promise I'm done bothering you lol Kristinewalker501 ( talk) 13:30, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
{{ping|Username}}
. To ping me, for example, you'd write {{ping|Isanae}}
. Make sure to use the actual username, many users, like me, have a signature with a different name. However, you don't have to ping users when writing on their own talk page because they'll get notified automatically. When you ping a user, they'll get a notification (like you just did!).
