Hello, happy Friday. Nice additions to an article I've edited for a long time. I've been meaning to download the film from Internet archive but it takes a long time and I'm on dial-up. Even on DSL it takes and hour or two. Best --

I responded to your concerns about the description of the Tony Award medallion on the talk page of the article; to sum up, the description was probably taken from a playbill article. I asked there, and will ask here, do you have suggested alternate language? Thanks,

I'm not the guy you want to block. My access goes through a common Internet gateway for Massachusetts state employees; there are probably thousands of us at this IP address. I have no idea who Williamsbeth is except that it's not I. Anyway, all I was trying to do was point out a needed gramatical correction in On this day...

...an estimated tens of thousands deaths across France.

should probably be ...an estimated tens of thousands OF deaths across France.

--Sumo broadcast== I don't know how I missed your comment on the talk page of Makuuchi late last year, but your comment is valid - it should be stated and not assumed that bilingual broadcast is in English. Thank you, I added in a clarification. FourTildes 20:42, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Operation Mincemeat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Double cross (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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, I have closed your query about today's featured article on the main page, as consensus is fairly settled that we do not put disambiguation terms in brackets on articles. A permanent link to the discussion is here. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:59, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, way back in 2010 you pointed out on the Juliette talk page that 'prequel' was not an accurate term for the novel and/or its relationship to Sade's other novel, Justine. For some reason, another editor responded to you with a churlish 'lolwut' and basically gave you a non-sequitur for an answer. I read Justine in university, and a bit of Juliette: the characters are sisters and the action over both novels is simultaneous, so yeah, they would not be prequels regardless of when they were published (sequel might apply, but certainly not prequel: more like companion pieces). Just to let you know I've fixed that page. As for the editor, he appears to have gone pretty inactive later that same year. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 01:14, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
