Hello, Skingski:
I have argued against your proposal to merge the articles on "Circuit preacher" and "Circuit rider." You may want to read what I have said about it. Richard E. Davies (talk) 02:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Richard E. Davies
I put in a response on your talk page and on the discussion page. Skingski (talk) 18:48, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Check out both the Circuit rider and the Circuit preacher articles and see if my revisions help make them more understandable. Richard E. Davies (talk) 21:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Richard E. Davies
Adrenal insufficiency
[edit]Hi! I've answered at the talkpage of the article. Best regards, --CopperKettle 16:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Go ahead and add it, I think. You are on solid ground,a s the source is reliable and verifiable, and so long as you don't fill up the article with counterweight (it's just one citation, so don't give it undue weight), it should be fine. Good find; I especially like the last paragraph.. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ 15:54, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi el cid, el campeador. You caught it before I responded. I was unaware of this tag. Thank you for the info!
- As you note, the world view aspect is weak atm. I hope to move U.S. content to its own page and/or beef up the world view. Thanks for keeping an eye out! Skingski (talk) 15:56, 28 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
- Hey, sorry for the misunderstanding. Since you removed the content from the food desert page, it did not show up in the plagiarism search, and only on the page that copied from the Wiki article. But, it looks like we have it all settled now. Splitting was a good call, so thank you for your continued contributions! I only became suspicious because the article was so long and well referenced - I didn't realize it was split off. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ 15:59, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, here are a few relevant things:
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Sobo_1909_589.png/200px-Sobo_1909_589.png)
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.
Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 23:55, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Belated welcome! --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:55, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! I will do my best when I find chances to work on things. Skingski (talk) 05:13, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 3
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dance in ancient Egypt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thebes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Faith Goldy. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 01:03, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- Grayfell, Why are you telling me to use the Talk page when I asked you to do that three times??? And I've seen your user page with the innumerable complaints. You love starting edit wars - I'm surprised you're not blocked. I did respond to your mention on the Talk page. Next time, don't automatically revert, talk first. That makes the edit process easier and happier for everyone. Skingski (talk) 01:18, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- I contributed to the talk page immediately after reverting. The burden is on you to gain consensus for the changes you want to make. As these changes have already been challenged, you do not have consensus. My willingness to edit controversial articles is not your problem, and a veiled insult followed by false civility is not WP:AGF. If you want to talk about the article, you will have to work with other editors, it's not that complicated. Grayfell (talk) 01:23, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

The article The Greater Key has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fail notability. Can't find any single coverage regarding this.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sonofstar (talk) 20:28, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Asmodeus X The Greater Key 2008.jpg
[edit]![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Asmodeus X The Greater Key 2008.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]There seems to be a resistance to alternative narratives at Canadian Indian residential school gravesites. You may be interested in: [1][2][3].
- @Magnolia677: Thanks! It shows once more Rouillard is one of many with alternative views (including the TRC itself), not an isolated instance. However, I'm unclear where it would fit in the article except:
- The TRC only records 51 student deaths for Kamloops.[4] The claims of more deaths is an attack on the TRC report. Have TRC alumns responded?
- The "Are There Really Thousands of Missing Indigenous Children?" piece identifies burial places for 40 - none at the school. I'm unsure if this article will be flagged as being from an unreliable news source.
- It seems relevant to note official counts alongside the radar estimates in the text, but with qualification about the place of their burial largely being known as sourcing allows. I know the main Kamloops page mentions it.Skingski (talk) 02:10, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
