Hi, noticed your work on the Leonard R. Brand page. The improvements on the reference and notes are appreciated. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 00:43, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome. Saw your recent comment on Hrafn at the John Hartnett (physicist) talk page. He tends to attack back when attacked. You might want to stay away from doing that, unless it is very very subtle. Wekn reven i susej eht ^{Talk• Follow} 13:19, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a big fan of this ref format [1]. Currently working on a project to translate Wikipedia's top importance medical content into other languages and other wikis do not support it.[2] We at

Hi. When you recently edited George Young (Presbyterian minister), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BAAS (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.

Thank you for the notice. but I doubt that I am solely responsible for the articles content. I am willing to rewrite parts of the article. However I expect stiff resistance to changes from some of the other editors. We shall see. Mthoodhood (talk) 21:35, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you are clearly not solely responsible for the article's content. I'm sorry my message suggested that, that was unintentional. I would simply invite you to revise your own contributions to the article, address this issue and others if you find more, and to keep this issue in mind for your future contributions. Thank you --Chealer (talk) 16:58, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, regarding your modification to the problematic part, I'm afraid that is not [significantly] better. Basically, if you copy-paste a text, no matter how many synonyms you find or how many superficial modifications are made, the result is still going to be a more or less close paraphrase. Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing#Avoiding has some guidance to avoid close paraphrasing. In other words, no matter how stupid/inefficient that may sound, the solution is to rewrite from scratch. Yes, that's painful...

Let me know if you still have doubts. --Chealer (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mthoodhood. There's been recent discussion regarding a few of your edits, and general participation, at Pseudoscience and related articles. You've made a couple edits like this recently. It may help to briefly explain what you're trying to do on the article talk page. It appears, in that edit as an example, that you've changed a reference very slightly (and indicated as much in your edit summary), and then also made a rather large change to remove content about creationism. Without hearing discussion about this on the talk page, it appears there's a lack of transparency with these edits, which is common among editors who try to sneak controversial changes in "under the radar" by masking them with normal edit summaries. I assume that's not what you're trying to do! If you could pop onto the article talk page and discuss the matter with everyone, that might help to alleviate some editors' concerns.

On another note, could you comment here about your connection with User:SmittysmithIII and User:Sacramentosam? I know you occasionally edit as the former, do you also have any connection with the latter? I assume you are the only one editing on these accounts, and not sharing them with another person, is that correct? Have you read over the general policies on this issue? (It is fine to have multiple accounts for certain reasons). Thanks!   — Jess· Δ♥ 18:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
