Happy editing! ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!) (See what else I did on Wikipedia!!📜) 02:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Maylingoed Thank you, that's very kind of you. I only corrected a tiny typo: the article mentioned a recording at WTTW Stusios, Chicago and I've assumed that that should have read Studios. As s & d are adjacent on a QWERTY keyboard I thought it was a pretty safe assumption. SaintIX (talk) 03:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- @SaintIX, It's the little things that count! You've done an amazing job at correcting typos so far, looking at your contributions. ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!) (See what else I did on Wikipedia!!📜) 03:14, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Maylingoed Thank you, it's very kind of you to say so and it's nice to be appreciated. I think Wikipedia is an amazing resource and worth having the internet for if nothing else. My finances are pretty awful ATM (I'm currently unemployed, surviving on very little), but I make a point of donating to Wikipedia every year. It's not much and I wish I could afford more, but it's better than nothing and if everyone who uses Wikipedia did so there wouldn't be a problem. How quickly we become accustomed to having it all at our fingertips, taking it for granted. Franky, I'm a little shocked at how few people do donate. I'm also curious where the whole inaccuracy rumour originated because I suspect that there's an ulterior motive behind it. Someone doesn't like knowledge being universally available and is seeking to discredit Wikipedia. I know, it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but that's why I'm curious about its origin. On the whole I think pretty much all conspiracy theories are just fantasy, but how about this for a meta conspiracy theory: someone is putting out all these ridiculous conspiracy theories so that the people who don't fall for them dismiss all of them, thus discrediting the ones that are actually true. It becomes not just a rabbit-hole but a warren of them. Having said all that, I'm still a bit suspicious about the Wikipedia thing. For one thing it's so incredibly unfair to all the editors who do a sterling job out of the goodness of their hearts and a belief that knowledge should be available to anyone. I'm more than happy to make my modest contribution. Take care SaintIX (talk) 05:00, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

- @Maylingoed Thanks, I'll look into that, and the list of things that need doing. I think I'm good at proof-reading. SaintIX (talk) 05:15, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
