Thanks

Thanks a lot. I liked your main page. nice. This is user VarunFEB2003

Thanks

Dear Colin, I just wanted to thank you for your vote and constructive comments regarding the article IPA2. I wish you success and all the best. -DrMoslehi 22 September 2006, 03:47 (UTC+3:30)

Dear Colin,

I really did not get the impression you had wanted to keep my article and soothe my feeling, etc. I just thanked for the time you spent giving your opinion (to contribute to Wikipedia) and the instructions you gave (to guide others how to contribute). In case of Shashank, I just thanked to be grateful and when I used 'fan-style' I used the exact description. I did not give my opinion on whether showing fan-style support is good or bad (although you might think it as a kind of confirmation which in this case I really did not mean). -DrMoslehi 26 September 2006, 04:08 (UTC+3:30)

Dear Colin,

Many thanks for your prompt reply to my Wikipedia query, made earlier today!

Yours sincerely,

John L Bell

Cypress Grove (musician)

Hello Colin, I am Athena07 and I appreciate your intervention on my article about Cypress Grove. How did you come across the information? Maybe I could find some references to back your statements so we can add them on again. Always appreciate help and fresh ideas. Thanks again Athenaathena07 (talk) 19:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Athenaathena07

Hello, Athenaathena07 [You made the heading level 3, which puts it inside the previous section, so I have removed a pair of = signs to move it to level 2, introducing a new section].

You seem to have got slightly the wrong end of the stick. I haven't done anything to the article Cypress Grove. The IP user apparently saw your message on their talk page, and thought that they needed to remove the change: I was telling them here that you had already removed it, so they did not need to do anything else.

Incidentally, please don't refer to it, or even think of it, as "my article": it isn't yours. You created it, and have done most of the edits on it, and that is visible in the history; but it doesn't belong to you or to anyone. It is Wikipedia's article. --ColinFine (talk) 00:15, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

I can see that I absolutely did. Thanks for that. Who did do the changes then? Is there any way I can contact him/her? I'd like to know more so that I can look for the necessary references. By "my article" I absolutely didn't intend it as mine. I' sorry if it came out that way. Thank you Athenaathena07 (talk) 01:43, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Athenaathena07. Look in the history (pick the History tab on the article) and you can see all the edits, and who made them. It shows you the edit summary, if they left one; and you can pick the 'talk' link to leave a message on their user talk pages. (Note that some of the edits are made by bots; and a message on the talk page of an IP user may or may not get to them, depending on whether they still happen to have the same IP address next time they edit. Sometimes it will get to somebody else who happens to be using that IP address). --ColinFine (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Meygal and Mézenc

Thank you for your answer and sorry for my late reply.
I didn't know this difference between "deleted" and "declined" (it doesn't exists on the French Wikipédia). Thank you for this information.
I didn't know either that the French and the English Wikipedia have different standards. Thank you too for this information.
The problem is solved concerning Meygal, as I see. I'm pleased to note it. I added sources for Mont Mézenc. Is it good now? Cordially. Jean Fume (talk) 02:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

EDIT :  Done The problem is now solved. Cordially. Jean Fume (talk) 03:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Your Teahouse response

WP:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 568#how to find edited articles for reference

I wanted to let you know, since you were confused, I correctly figured out what the IP was asking. On their user talk page they were asked what pages they edited, so they asked at The Teahouse how to do that. When I checked the talk page I realized I was right.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:30, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Re: Jack Merridew

Just wanted to let you know I do agree with many aspects on WP:DENY, just not all of them. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 22:54, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
