With all due respect, are you reading the edit summary? Colleen O'Shaughnessey and Colleen Villard are the same person; O'Shaughnessey changed her name following her marriage and is now credited under her married name of Villard, as seen in recent series she's appeared in such as Sonic Boom. If you click the O'Shaughnessey link, you go to the Villard article; that redirect has been in place for almost a year. I'm not removing content, nor is this a case of adding uncited material. This is replacing a redirect with a direct link to the exact same content and nothing more. -- 68.37.227.226 ( talk) 01:11, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
Hey there! Remember way back in May when you supported Gene93k to be Editor of the Week? He was finally presented with the award this week. It looks as if Buster tried to ping those of us who nominated or supported him, but the ping didn't work (at least in my case). You may want to go to Gene's talk page and congratulate him.

Hi! Your comment on my addition to notable people from Huntsville was very quick. The page on Mark Hanna Watkins is now created and he was indeed a notable person. Margaret Wade-Lewis in her article about Watkins writes: "Watkins’s journey through life was a historic one. He was a first in a number of ways—one of the first known black Americans to receive a PhD in anthropology (Moses 1999:85–100), the first American to write a grammar of an African language, the first anthropologist to participate in the creation of an African studies program in the United States, and the first black member of many professional organizations, among them the Society of the Sigma Xi.≤ He was one of the founding fathers of anthropology and linguistics in America."

Good morning, John. You can rest assured that I did not simply reinsert the text in the North Bay, Ontario Wikipedia article. I left an explanation with the person who deleted it as to why I reinserted the text, as follows:
"Hello. I have reinserted the text I added to the City of North Bay, Ontario,'s Wiki page, yesterday. I appreciate why you decided to delete the text. However the information about the 228th Battalion NHA hockey team was obtained during research this summer into Canadian Army units from North Bay that fought in the First World War, for the city's museum. When we--the group gathering information for the museum--learned of the team, I contacted the Hockey Hall of Fame, in Toronto--the national repository for documents, artifacts and photographs about hockey in North America--who supplied us with material about the team. That the 228th Battalion had a team in the National Hockey Association, forerunner of the National Hockey League, is an extraordinary event in the city's history. Imagine, say, if a United States Army battalion from Peoria or Manassas had supplied a winning team to baseball's National League, how significant that would be in the community's history.
That said, I shall edit the reference to make its source clearer, that this wasn't an arbitrary insertion of text."
I subsequently made the change to reference explanation, to elaborate where the information came from. When it comes to North American hockey there isn't a better source than the Hockey Hall of Fame. I appreciate that the initial removal of text was made in good faith, however a more tactful approach would have been to request more detailed information from me about the source rather than an outright deletion. I will--and have--happily amend my material and work with fellow Wikipedia contributors and editors, to ensure my contributions conform to everyone's satisfaction.
I offer this to you genuinely, also in good faith, and without sarcasm: I would like to reinsert the text with its elaborated reference into the article.

The reason I revised the deletion about the Port Neches-Groves rivalry is that the rivalry is the biggest thing in these two towns everyone knows what it is. It is called "Mid-County Madness" the rivalry has been a tradition at the school since the 1950's and if you look on Port Neches-Groves high school wiki page it will have almost the exact same statement about "Mid-County Madness". And the reason I added the assistant principals is because at nhs the assistant principals are who make the whole school run they deserve to be named along side the principal. Back to the midcounty madness, this rivalry is the biggest and most important event in both schools to occor all year and anyone looking up these two schools should know about it. It is what defines this school. Noah from Nederland ( talk) 03:42, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I had a dispute with another user a few months ago about the usage of the school district infobox template that you interceded in. I started a discussion on the template's talk page, and the group that discussed the dispute came to the agreement that we should change the usage policy to allow for my edits, which we did. Since that time, I resumed contributing infoboxes to the pages where I had been before, and the user that I had the original dispute with has since removed some of them. I don't want to be blocked and I don't want to edit war, but this seems unfair. I don't know what you can do about this, but since you are an editor, I would hope there is something you can do. - User:Jajhill ( talk), 23:43, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi -- I'm User:0xF8E8, an editor working on the Barrington High School (Rhode Island) article. You removed some of the information I added (mainly pertaining to the schedule) under the summary "not encyclopedic", and I don't understand why such would be the case. I intended to follow a similar direction to the beginning of the academics section at Amador Valley High School, which begins in a manner almost identically to the information I had included in the page. However, I admit that I'm fairly new to this project in general, and it's certainly possible I may be overlooking something.

I disagree with your removal of my 75 pixel pic of Nellie Fox at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania along with the other small pix in the "notable residents" section. Sure, it's not the usual place to put pix, but I think it is a good place. It's probably been there about 8 years. I don't think anybody has objected before, and IMHO it improves the encyclopedia. I'll suggest putting an RfC on the talk page if you really want to remove the pix. Minor point, Berlin has a Pennsylvania State Historical Marker (footnoted there) and invented the railroad sleeping car, so I'd like to leave that in too. So I'll revert you for now, and hope that you object we can handle this with an RfC. Sincerely, Smallbones( smalltalk) 22:48, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
