Hi, I saw you filled in some refs at Great chain of being, but without supplying even the title of a review, let alone the page numbers and other details. If you choose to volunteer for such a task, it behoves you to take it seriously, to verify the sources you are citing, and to fill in all the necessary fields of the template. All the best, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:10, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Michael!
Leigh returns to the Wales training squad tomorrow after being fully tested during a Scarlets training match. Wayne Pivac, his Scarlets boss, said, "He did everything. Full contact. Full tackling. We had a mini-game scenario with no hiding places and he was taking high balls, getting clattered and did everything that he needed to do."
Leigh's team mate, fly-half
Rhys Patchell is also fit following his December hamstring injury.
Pivac is waiting to hear whether the pair will be released by Wales to travel to Italy on Saturday for the match against
Benetton Rugby in the Pro14.
Hope you're having a good week,

Leigh Halfpenny will miss Scarlets' Pro14 match at Benetton on Saturday after suffering a setback in his return from concussion. This is very bad news. Hope you are having a good weekend. Gareth Griffith-Jones ( contribs) ( talk) 18:51, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

I disagree. There is no disambiguation page. Would a person be able to find the information now that you moved it? I had a note which I should have added more detail to, which I made when reading an actual newspaper, and today I had the opportunity to search that newspaper using a resource not normally available to me. The newspaper's web site cannot be used to find this. And I had to guess which newspaper, based on a list I made of articles that didn't come up when I searched the various newspapers' web sites. Yes, I get lazy when writing stuff down as I read actual newspapers.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey. I thought you might be interested in this. I've been writing online film reviews for a while now, and I just posted a review of Kenneth Branagh's disappointing All Is True.

Hi.
At Special:Diff/884403673, you removed the two categories Category:Films set in the 1870s and Category:Films set in the 19th century from Little Men (1998 film). While I understand removal of the latter, since the former category is in it, what was the reason to remove the former one? Thanks. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 01:03, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
I also didn't understand removal of Category:Sony Pictures films in Special:Diff/884441881 at Holmes & Watson, Special:Diff/884441902 at RoboCop (2014 film) – the infoboxes say "Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing" and the category is described as "Movies released by Sony Pictures." Does this not include distribution? There are similar edits for Category:Columbia Pictures films, Category:Fox Searchlight Pictures films, etc. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 01:20, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
FYI, I reported the IP at AIV since they've kept it up and refuse to engage. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 13:04, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Do you watch the show? If you did you would see all the celebrities in tonight's episode. If not, go watch it or feel free to look up it up. It is not "up to me". You're the one who wants the information, so haven't you found it yet? Since I'm apparently either a liar or making it as I go along. Mickeydee15 ( talk) 04:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you again for your help turning bare URLs into full citations!
Just a quick note to let you know that the Bloomberg URLs you addressed in this edit weren't turned into full citations. Instead, Bloomberg seems to have directed you to some kind of CAPTCHA, the details of which ended up in the citation template instead of the desired geographical information. Not sure how best to address this, but you might want to have a look at any other Bloomberg bare URLs that you processed, too, just in case. Zazpot ( talk) 06:04, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
The daffodil is the national flower worn on St David's Day (1 March) in Wales. The daffodil may be known as
Welsh: cenhinen Bedr (Saint Peter's leek)
I know I'm a week too early, but I hope to put some cheer on your talk.
For what it's worth, I always enjoy your humour.
Don't let the B*s*a*d* grind you down!

I usually post about actors who have left us but I must note the passing of Stanley Donen. So many wonderful and innovative musicals. Two for the Road (film) and Bedazzled (1967 film) are two non-musical delights. His 1997 Oscar acceptance speech is a mark of how much fun he had making films. RIP Stanley.

There is a question on the Savannah Smiles article for a proposed change. No one has made any comments yet. As you are an editor that has shown an interest in the article I wanted to invite you to comment on the article’s Talk Page. Thanks for your consideration. AliciaZag13 ( talk) 04:50, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
I would have put this in an edit comment, but there wasn't another edit to make thanks to your work. That said, where you noted in your edit comment that "that is not a formatted reference - it is an EL" I should point out that Template:Cleanup bare URLs does not make such a distinction: "A bare URL is a link to a website with no identifying information except the link itself. It is not just a citation style that leaves the URL visible to the reader." In fact, it uses precisely " [2]" as an example of when to apply that template, whether in the references or elsewhere. Anyway, thanks for fixing it so the template is no longer needed. -- Geoff Capp ( talk) 21:48, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your support during this difficult time. By the way the John Quarmby article needs adjustment. It talks about Quarmby being happy at being paid fifty pounds for a role, but it doesn't make clear to the average reader that fifty pounds in 1974 was worth a lot more in purchasing power than fifty pounds in 2019.
