I certainly tried to explain the situation on the editor's talk page when he was an IP. If you look at the history at talk:mitty you will see that he went back and removed the ip sigs and substituted his new user name. That aside I certainly see your point and unfortuneately am not ablee to help like i used to. I replied here because my phone lets me make a new section but not a regular edit and i only get a couple hours a week to edit on a computer. Feel free to renove the editor retention template from my talk. Ill put it back when the situation improves. Thanks. John from Idegon ( talk) 02:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't know if this is your sort of thing but... Do you know if there is a tool which will automatically complete the Grid Ref &/or Lat & Long sections of Template:EH listed building row if one or the other is included? As you know I've been working on Scheduled Monuments in Somerset and its 7 sub lists (over 670 entries). I know several ways to look them up and insert them manually which I've been doing on List of Scheduled Monuments in Bath and North East Somerset but wanted to automate the process for the others. I have a vague memory of a discussion related to WLM last year about whether this is possible but can't find it now.— Rod talk 11:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Not sure if you know User:Mary Mark Ockerbloom, the WiR at Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia. You two should really discuss joint projects.
Re: Utah Territorial Statehouse, it looks like a pretty good article right now. It seems to have grown organically since 2006 when half of it was written, and might even be a candidate for GA. Of course somebody should check whether the 1st half wasn't a copyvio. I'll post something at WT:NRHP if you haven't already. Smallbones( smalltalk) 16:57, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Over at Wikiproject Chemistry, you mentioned that you're the Wikipedian in residence at RSC. There's obviously some controversy over there about your selection, given that you are a non-chemist. I personally don't have any idea what the RSC sees as your role, or what resources are at your disposal. One suggestion I have for someone who does not have a technical background but does have the support of a chemistry organization would be to try and tackle some of the Chemistry image requests. For all the ones that are going to be basically photos of this or that, you can very likely call around to different academic chemistry labs that are likely to have the relevant thing - chances are there will be a grad student who is willing to take a bit of time to let you take a photo of some powder or whatever, or set up a reaction flask, etc.
If your role is supposed to be more community outreach than actually editing / improving articles, I'm guessing you could accomplish much the same thing by just going around teaching grad students how to navigate licensing and uploads, etc. The problem with that is that the backlog isn't very long for simple photos. Anyway, there's my suggestion as a chemist. 0x0077BE [ talk/ contrib] 01:19, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello Andy,
Thank you very much for adding an education field to
template:Infobox officeholder. Would you be able to do the same for
template:Infobox scientist? This would help bring to an end an edit war at

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Bowen (alderman), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Hogan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Pigsonthewing, Anne Delong asked a question on the helpdesk about your recent change of Template:Talk header, in which you state that links should not be put in talk page subheaders. I support Anne in believing that it is regular custom to put links in talk page subheaders. Note for example that several headers on this very talk page have links. I have posted a question about the change at Template talk:Talk header. Your input would be very welcome. Sincerely, Taketa ( talk) 05:22, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Birmingham railway may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
