Greenwood, Mississippi ↗

On the Greenwood, Mississippi ↗ article, you added here ↗ that John Williams "arrived by flatboat". The citation at the end of the sentence was for page 7 of this ↗ book.

::Anne Webster's guidebook on Miss. genealogy here ↗ has a reference to my source on John Williams. Hamilton says on page 41 "The first settlement at G'wood was made by a flat-boat man named Williams, who built a shanty on the bank and for a time exposed his wares for sale. Richard McConnell was among the first merchants and he had interests at Carrollton...In a few years Dr. McLean, Allen McCaskill et al bought lands and their success influence others to join them in subduing the forests". Here are three map references for the road connection to Carrollton:

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes ↗, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons ↗ in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America ↗, the Confederate States ↗, the Republic of Texas ↗, multiple states and territories ↗, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics ↗ will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest ↗. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects ↗. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards ↗. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki ↗ or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate ↗.

About the COVID-19 timeline for November-December

Hi there! I was just laying last hands on a rephrase of the timeline for November/December last year, when I noticed your contribution. This, about the very recent newspaper talk about a first case in France 27 December.
You are most welcome to have a look at the talk page and, very very soon, also a fresh article view.
My wish is that the academic approach should prevail, and that is not easy, firstly because I'm not an academic myself, but also because there are many newspaper sources in the article. It's really a matter of judgment.
I think the information that comes from France these days should be recognised as scientific in nature, and best given on, not through newspaper articles, but through academic articles. I have found the published paper that speaks of the information (doi link ↗) but it does not make me any wiser, and my subjective approach is to shy away from letting the article be a frontline for first published controversial reports.

Otherwise I see no problem, ie. that the case is from France. It is a textwise bewildering contribution, and should therefore be given some context, which is not impossible. But, from the above reasons, I do not include the new information in the rephrased edition. I still find it is undue. Sechinsic (talk) 19:43, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

"The subject"

:::::::On the entry on Paul E. Kahle, the editor 'corrected' my usage by mucking the meaning up. Warshy wrote " In 1909 the he discovered leather puppets near Damietta ↗, Egypt used in medieval puppet drama ↗." Not an improvement for readers. Please fix that. The personal pronoun according to most writing textbooks is a hazard when several persons are mentioned and the antecedent is unclear. That is why, on occasion, it should be used. To prevent further mucking up of Wikipedia, I will accommodate the forms you insist on. Church of the Rain (talk) 01:10, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Arab–Israeli conflict ↗''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

<p><strong>Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days ↗, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.</strong></p><p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} <span style="color:#00c0c0;">Opm581</span><sup> <span style="color:#83D27A">(talk</span> <span style="color:#E77979;">|</span> <span style="color:#68AAE8;">he/him)</span></sup> 23:25, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Sourcing

Hi, I'm {{u|Pbritti}}! You've been here a ''very'' long time, so I figured I'd drop by and just drop a courtesy mention about sourcing. You recently edited a couple articles to change date for the chartering of the College of William & Mary ↗ from taking place in 1693 to 1694. These changes were obviously done in good faith and were supported by what one would hope is a reasonably reliable source. However, this source was incorrect, presumably as a result of its nature as a primary source (or, more precisely, as a catalog of primary sources). I have reverted you and recommend that similar substantial changes should generally be sourced to a more reliable reference. Thank you for your 16 years of diligent and productive contributions to the project, and I hope to encounter you more across Virginia-related articles! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:05, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for that Pbritti. If a primary source like the letters parent of the Crown is incorrect it cannot be corrected. However,the catalog at Lambeth can be if they are notified. Perhaps, we should do that to keep things straight for everyone. Church of the Rain (talk) 15:30, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
