Hi there LanternLight,

I notice you've been systematically replacing "ex-felon" with "felon" on the English Wikipedia here. I can guess at your rationale, but I don't feel it's the best decision. "Ex-felon" is a common usage (example, example), and also provides relevant information (is the person currently incarcerated, or are they now at liberty, having 'served their time'?) Given that "felon" also has connotations of "evil, bad, immoral," I feel that this is sort of a judgmental term. I particularly don't think it's warranted to make all these replacements. Can you tell me a little more about why you're making these changes? Thanks! Groupuscule (talk) 18:07, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your response. I appreciate that you feel that "felon" is more accurate. I do think it has negative connotations, as seen above, and that 'ex-felon' conveys more information. (Differentiates between someone currently incarcerated and someone now at liberty). Given that "ex-felon" is standard usage (many webcrawler hits), it seems like bad policy to change. I don't want to go through and revert your edits, but I think this is a really important issue, due in large part to the stigma that ex-felons face in society. I would ask if perhaps you could hold off on changing more instances of "ex-felon," and maybe we can ask for some mediation if you still feel strongly about the other changes? Thanks, and thanks for all your edits. groupuscule (talk) 14:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. Sounds like the best way to set it up. Thanks.

Hi, I'm MrNiceGuy1113. LanternLight, thanks for creating Mikhail Alexandrovich Kedrov!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi there, I have just added a "copyedit" tag to your article. Reason being that the name "Kedrov" is repeated too often--when writing in English always avoid reption. Kedrov this, Kedrov that, Kedrov the other becomes very annoying, fast.Kind Regard

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mikhail Alexandrovich Kedrov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page White Russian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Postcrossing changes every day. So it makes no sense to keep it actual every day. Once a month will be ok. And when changed anything, please line it with date in the references...--Starpromi (talk) 00:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why just once a month, instead of more recent and up to date information? How does less recent information better serve anyone?
