Hello L. I wanted to let you know that I filed a 3rr report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring for the editor placing the unsourced info on the Audrey Hepburn article. I also started a discussion here Talk:Audrey Hepburn. Fell free to add to either item though, of course, you are under no obligation to do so. Best regards.

Hello, I made page Chart history of Dalida where I listed all of her charts alvaible on inernet, as Orlando is very short on releasing what he has in his archives. Regarding all counries except France, those charts are literally official as those countries led magazines that made "official" charts for that time, altho it was usual that those were oftenly modified by radio programmers. Further issue is in France; France never had continuous chart until 1984. Before that, there were some magazines and radio charts that give us some quite good material, like Bourse des chansons in 1950s or IFOP, so I used them to make Dalida chart page. Nevermind. To short the story, the real issue is this: as there is no clear websites that can be used as source, i listed a bunch of several official websites alongside with blogs that can be used as valid source because those people that run those blogs literally made extensive research. The last good revision of that page is here [1]. After that some user appeared and mixed everything. I talked to him on his talkpage but he just keeps mentioning some refrence style rules etc. Why cant my version be held, literally I spent hours of gruping and making sure each chart peak in some country can be checked by accessing the link with the desired country. Isn't that the purpose of citations, it is important to show the source and not just stand near its matching text... Help please Dalida Editor please ping or message me 20:48, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello, LynwoodF. I'm just dropping by to see how you are, and that your health has improved. I was heartened to see that you're actually active at the moment, hence the missive while you're possibly online.
Keep up the good work, my friend. Wikipedia needs every good contributor. No matter how tired we get, the project is as valuable as every individual on this planet. We're creating and maintaining a free resource for those who can access the internet: not perfect, nor is much of the 'third world' in a position to access us, but that's just a matter of time. In a world of ignorance and prejudice, we may not be meaningful (nor have I ever aspired to place value on myself and my opinions), but our work is meaningful.
Good lord, there's your sunny thought for the day! This was intended to be a cheerful message to let you know that you, personally, are a valued member of team Wikipedia, and that you have Wikipedia friends in the community who are pleased to see your work on articles, and your thoughtful comments on talk pages. Argh, I'm a woman with good intentions, but I end up spreading my schlock philosophy instead of good cheer. May you and those you love be well, safe and happy! 00:18, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for catching my edit on that page. I've been trying to clean up and verify what organizations do/do not have that motto, missing that was a complete error on my part. Garuda28 ( talk) 22:39, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
