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 article 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. reddogsix (talk) 16:07, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Empty set, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Compact (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.

Hey - you proposed we redirect the article. Do you think it would be best to redirect this to Thomas Friedman, or something else? I'm honestly not 100% sure myself. PeterTheFourth (talk) 11:26, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Um, I did not propose a redirect, I merely said a redirect is the minimum that should be there. That being said, a merge to information society § Related terms would be fine with me. Paradoctor (talk) 14:15, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].

Thank you!

Sorry it's been a couple of months since your revision on the Mesak Settafet, but I wanted to contend with you here in case you didn't go back to check its talk page. Could you provide a reason why you reverted a change that referenced a peer-reviewed journal article?^[1] I recognize that the figure for the amount of rock fragments seems outlandish. That's why the researchers included it as a frame of reference for how remarkably thick the layers of debitage were in certain areas. But that's exactly why the figure is possible: they randomly selected square meters across the escarpment and then tried to explain how dense the fragments were in the densest of them.

I would gladly be more careful about my language, to include "in the most densely-laden test areas" as a more exact qualifier than "in some areas," which I freely agree is not perhaps up to standard.

--Rvanarsdale (talk) 09:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
