Hi. Thanks for your edits to the above article. Just so you know, the reason I made that edit was because there were two differing instances of why and how that particular victim disappeared in the text (travelling by train to Waukegan or travelling by bus to meet a contractor) before I spotted the error and thus made the edit. Regards.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 14:15, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
The edits by User:Manoek Siyam that you reverted looked like attempts to get people to go to some site from which to download a (purported) Canon printer driver, so, over and above all the other damage he did, he also committed WP:LINKSPAM. Thanks for reverting them. Guy Harris ( talk) 19:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
John - I received your note concerning edits I made to the current events portal, which you suggested may have amounted to vandalism. In fact, I was trying to reverse someone else's edit (with little success), as the article claimed that India, rather than Pakistan, had won the ICC Champions Trophy. Despite repeated efforts - which may, in retrospect, have looked like vandalism - the article simply wouldn't reflect my edit, which in turn was attempting to reflect reality. No misuse of the site nor vandalism intended. I note that it has now been put right. 82.13.68.127 ( talk) 10:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Dear John of Reading,
I got a ticking off from you for editing the w-e-m page to put matters right. This I did at the request of Mrs June Watkins the current director of w-e-m Ltd and wife of the late Charlie Watkins. I am a personal friend of the family, my addition was reviewed and approved by Mrs Watkins. Everything I said was true and I ask that you ring Mrs Watkins who will verify it. details removed I do not understand all your Wikipedia jargon and neither do I have the time or patience to learn and fully understand it all. I just wanted to say what was right and truthful on behalf of my dear friend Mrs June Watkins and the late Charlie Watkins.
I know its highly unlikely that you would telephone Mrs W in order get verification directly from the horses mouth, but as its your job to do so I sincerely hope that you do so. I will call her this morning to advise her of the slim possibility that you might at sometime soon give her a call.
I did reply directly to the email you sent me yesterday, but don't know if it would have come back directly to you or the writer. I can provide a copy of that reply if you so wish. Sincerely, Jack Plug ( talk) 08:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC) Jack Plug

Hey, John. A few months back you helped me out quite a bit with a series of lists of the prehistoric life of US states and I was hoping I could rely on your technical expertise again for a similar operation. On September 21st you replaced the first instance of each capital letter in the format "* †[[A" with a block of code:
--A-- <!-- Please hide unwanted images in comments like this one so that they may be easily restored later if we change our minds and the image is wanted again --> {{Compact ToC}} * †''[[A
Could you do that again for the following commented out list of articles? Abyssal ( talk) 15:19, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
As a recent contributor to Robert E. Lee, you are receiving this notice for an RfC at of a proposed restatement of a wp:primary source which contains more points than the existing block quote from the letter. The primary source is a 1856 letter of Lee’s to his wife from Texas as found at Alexander Long, Memoirs of Robert E. Lee: his military and personal history (1886), p. 82-83. Opponents have seen wp:original research in the proposal as drawing conclusions not found in the primary source. A rewrite of the first proposal follows an edit break.

Dear John, I would like to ask you for help. There is an article about Skvorec Castle, that I,ve published about 8 years ago. I think that "Castle" is apropriate defenition for these types of structure, but for some reasons someone, called iaroslavvs renamed Castle to french Chateu and eagerly defend his point of view. I'm not against french words in English, but in all other texts (e.g. Skvorec, that edited by you) we use "Castle". Can you halp, please
Kind regards, Dmitryeremeev Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 04:03, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Dear John, Can you clarify this issue as a native speaker, please... This is written by iaroslavvs to mysels regarding Skvorec Castle.
As for your other reproaches: "chateau" vs. "castle" – regarding to your poor level of English, I'm afraid that your argumentation in this case doesn't interested me at all. Of course, Czech term zámek (not the same meaning like Russian замок!) or its German equivalent schloß can be translated by two English words, "castle" or "chateau", which depends on architectural style of the building and the epoch in which it was founded/rebuilded. In this context, I would also like to point out that using of this word isn't limited to French-speaking setting! In Czech/Slovak area, something like e.g. this, this or this is usually understood as a "castle" (hrad) while this, this or this are some examples of "chateaux" (zámek). When we consider when the building, the rest of which you own, was built (18th century), its architectural style (predominantly Baroque) and its size, location and finally, how was called both in Czech and German, it is clear to me that it is a chateau not a castle! Yet, it is possible that my comprehension of this quite special English term is incorrect – but I would like to be corrected from a native speaker, preferably any neutral colleague-Wikipedian, not from yourself, whom English is obviously even worse than mine. Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 04:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Dear John, I would also apreciate if you can have a llok to Skvorec Castle {Chateu:-( article for general grammar and style correction. Seems like too many mistakes there Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 06:19, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you indeed. All available virtual and printed sources use a "castle" since ever. Some castles has started to use "chateau" definition for commercial purposes, but I"m absolutely disagree with "Chateau" for Skvorec castle, since it's history started from latin word Castrum. Moreover, I don't see any reason why we should mislead people with french word - I'm doubt that french use Castle in french language:-). Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 18:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

John of Reading, you were kind enough to make some comments about issues with the nominated article, and also to make some edits to improve it. There are still a number of issues, as I noted in my own comments a few weeks ago.
Are you intending to do any further work on the article? As it stands, it does not currently meet the GA criteria, and the nominator has yet to make any edits to address the issues that have been raised. Please let me know your plans. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:07, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your edits to the above article. Just so you know, the reason I made that edit was because there were two differing instances of why and how that particular victim disappeared in the text (travelling by train to Waukegan or travelling by bus to meet a contractor) before I spotted the error and thus made the edit. Regards.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 14:15, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
The edits by User:Manoek Siyam that you reverted looked like attempts to get people to go to some site from which to download a (purported) Canon printer driver, so, over and above all the other damage he did, he also committed WP:LINKSPAM. Thanks for reverting them. Guy Harris ( talk) 19:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
John - I received your note concerning edits I made to the current events portal, which you suggested may have amounted to vandalism. In fact, I was trying to reverse someone else's edit (with little success), as the article claimed that India, rather than Pakistan, had won the ICC Champions Trophy. Despite repeated efforts - which may, in retrospect, have looked like vandalism - the article simply wouldn't reflect my edit, which in turn was attempting to reflect reality. No misuse of the site nor vandalism intended. I note that it has now been put right. 82.13.68.127 ( talk) 10:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but I was hoping you could run basically the same tasks you performed on the Lists of Mesozoic life by state for the lists of Paleozoic life by state. User:Kanashimi is waiting to perform some tasks that require the preceding ones to have been performed first and I thought I'd ask you if you were available. There's a message on the bot request page with the details. If you're busy I understand, I was just trying to avoid keeping Kanashimi waiting any long than I had to since it's been a few days.

Dear John of Reading,
I got a ticking off from you for editing the w-e-m page to put matters right. This I did at the request of Mrs June Watkins the current director of w-e-m Ltd and wife of the late Charlie Watkins. I am a personal friend of the family, my addition was reviewed and approved by Mrs Watkins. Everything I said was true and I ask that you ring Mrs Watkins who will verify it. details removed I do not understand all your Wikipedia jargon and neither do I have the time or patience to learn and fully understand it all. I just wanted to say what was right and truthful on behalf of my dear friend Mrs June Watkins and the late Charlie Watkins.
I know its highly unlikely that you would telephone Mrs W in order get verification directly from the horses mouth, but as its your job to do so I sincerely hope that you do so. I will call her this morning to advise her of the slim possibility that you might at sometime soon give her a call.
I did reply directly to the email you sent me yesterday, but don't know if it would have come back directly to you or the writer. I can provide a copy of that reply if you so wish. Sincerely, Jack Plug ( talk) 08:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC) Jack Plug

this are really not very useful since they change nothing about the display of the page. Unless you are changing something else as well, it's probably better to avoid edits that don't have any appreciable change to the page. ―

Hey, John. A few months back you helped me out quite a bit with a series of lists of the prehistoric life of US states and I was hoping I could rely on your technical expertise again for a similar operation. On September 21st you replaced the first instance of each capital letter in the format "* †[[A" with a block of code:
--A-- <!-- Please hide unwanted images in comments like this one so that they may be easily restored later if we change our minds and the image is wanted again --> {{Compact ToC}} * †''[[A
Could you do that again for the following commented out list of articles? Abyssal ( talk) 15:19, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
As a recent contributor to Robert E. Lee, you are receiving this notice for an RfC at of a proposed restatement of a wp:primary source which contains more points than the existing block quote from the letter. The primary source is a 1856 letter of Lee’s to his wife from Texas as found at Alexander Long, Memoirs of Robert E. Lee: his military and personal history (1886), p. 82-83. Opponents have seen wp:original research in the proposal as drawing conclusions not found in the primary source. A rewrite of the first proposal follows an edit break.

Dear John, I would like to ask you for help. There is an article about Skvorec Castle, that I,ve published about 8 years ago. I think that "Castle" is apropriate defenition for these types of structure, but for some reasons someone, called iaroslavvs renamed Castle to french Chateu and eagerly defend his point of view. I'm not against french words in English, but in all other texts (e.g. Skvorec, that edited by you) we use "Castle". Can you halp, please
Kind regards, Dmitryeremeev Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 04:03, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Dear John, Can you clarify this issue as a native speaker, please... This is written by iaroslavvs to mysels regarding Skvorec Castle.
As for your other reproaches: "chateau" vs. "castle" – regarding to your poor level of English, I'm afraid that your argumentation in this case doesn't interested me at all. Of course, Czech term zámek (not the same meaning like Russian замок!) or its German equivalent schloß can be translated by two English words, "castle" or "chateau", which depends on architectural style of the building and the epoch in which it was founded/rebuilded. In this context, I would also like to point out that using of this word isn't limited to French-speaking setting! In Czech/Slovak area, something like e.g. this, this or this is usually understood as a "castle" (hrad) while this, this or this are some examples of "chateaux" (zámek). When we consider when the building, the rest of which you own, was built (18th century), its architectural style (predominantly Baroque) and its size, location and finally, how was called both in Czech and German, it is clear to me that it is a chateau not a castle! Yet, it is possible that my comprehension of this quite special English term is incorrect – but I would like to be corrected from a native speaker, preferably any neutral colleague-Wikipedian, not from yourself, whom English is obviously even worse than mine. Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 04:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Dear John, I would also apreciate if you can have a llok to Skvorec Castle {Chateu:-( article for general grammar and style correction. Seems like too many mistakes there Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 06:19, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you indeed. All available virtual and printed sources use a "castle" since ever. Some castles has started to use "chateau" definition for commercial purposes, but I"m absolutely disagree with "Chateau" for Skvorec castle, since it's history started from latin word Castrum. Moreover, I don't see any reason why we should mislead people with french word - I'm doubt that french use Castle in french language:-). Dmitryeremeev ( talk) 18:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
