Hi! My name is Mike, and I wanted to let you know that this article is up for Featured Article Status! It is SOOO CLOSE! And as someone who has worked on this article a lot in the past (having checked the history) I thought you could help me fix the inline citations. As I have none of the books in question, I am out of luck, but thought real enthusiasts might be able to help. So, please help, or get those who you know can to help make Tolkien a featured article! Thanks much! Judgesurreal777 18:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I noticed that you did link pruning at J. R. R. Tolkien. Great work, thanks!.
You may be interested in my tool for exactly that purpose. Just copy User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to User:Urbane legend/monobook.js (if you know what you are doing, just copy the relevant bits). Then clear the cache by pressing Control-Shift-R (Firefox) or Control-F5 (IE). Then when you edit, you will get another two tabs at the top for date pruning and unit formatting. Caveat emptor.
In addition, I have made a new proposal about date links at: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#linking_of_dates. Feel free to support or oppose it. Regards. bobblewik 19:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Urbane Legend! Thank you for your contributions to a Tolkien-related article. If you are interested, feel free to join WikiProject Middle-earth, a WikiProject focused on improving Tolkien-related articles in Wikipedia. We would be glad to have you join in the effort! Here're some good links and subpages related to the WikiProject.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask on our talk page. Thank you for your contributions and have fun editing! — Mir l e n 02:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou - I fully realize I should use the preview button. It's just that I do quite a bit of recent changes patrolling, and with that you have to do more and smaller edits, in order to decrease the chance of an edit conflict where someone else has begun editing the article without your changes. I suppose it's a habit i've developed from that, but now you've raised it, i'll certainly remember to use preview. Thanks! -- (James McNally) (talkpage) 11:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
i wasnt vandalising http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunters_Point%2C_San_Francisco%2C_California I just changed from "African-American" to Black, because not all Blacks come from Africa, and yet there is white Africans... What would you call a person from Jamaica, South India, or Central/South America with Black skin color?
it is contreversial...screw you james
Hi,
I don't know if you are aware of my tool to reduce unnecessary links to solitary months/years.
You only need a single click on a 'dates' tab in edit mode. If you want to use it, simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to User:Urbane legend/monobook.js. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work.
Please feel free try it out. It also has a 'units' tab. Regards. bobblewik 23:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I apologize about my comments about you and I apologize to you about my mistake. Thank you for correcting me. Fg1234567892000 14:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I was reading about extinction, then black holes, and that led me to your page. Love Kate Bush as well! Just wanted to say hi. This account caused me to create a new account, therefore a new Wiki contributor. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to
Image:Shelobpj.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "
my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading
Image:Shelobpj.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by
Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from
Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an
image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I appreciate you creating articles of note. But is it possible to include a reference with the initial edit. It saves me time having to tag your article with "unref" and then saves you time having to remove the "unref" tag. Thank you for your understanding. Calaka ( talk) 11:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Urbane Legend,
I am a graphic designer who is several hours into the hunt for the source file for the black hole lensing animation which you optimized. All credits point back to you, but I am in need of a higher resolution version for use in my project. Would you be able to point me in the correct direction to continue looking? I have searched multiple archives and read through hundreds of links to try to uncover it but all roads lead back to you. Please help. :-) Thanks so much!
