Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chester County, Pennsylvania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican Party (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 like most of your edits just now on Horween. But for two. "of the Irish name" is in the ref, and since as you point out we write for a wide audience, I think it appropriate. Similarly, I thought the inclusion of the Harvard record -- which you deleted -- was not an improvement; the record shows how many games the unbeaten team had, and that it had one tie. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "Irish" seemed pejorative and obvious, but if you think otherwise, fine. The (second) mention of the team's record repeated the same information (in the same level of detail, down to its W-L-T record) from a few sentences earlier, and was thus redundant; it seemed extra verbiage that didn't really add something, etc. I left the first, but shortened the second. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Not disparaging IMHO, just descriptive. Agree w/second point, which pointed to what I had not seen. (BTW -- no need w/most of us to reply on separate p ... most editors keep an eye on p where they left a message, having it put automatically on their watch list ... and then there is no need to cut and paste and bifurcate the discussion). Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copying the previous message allows easy back-reference, and allows others (who may happen along later, after the other participant has possibly deleted half of the discussion) to see what the discussion is about, as I see it.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 00:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would have seen your message had you left it under my message on your page. In my experience, that is what most of us do. Copying messages so that two versions of the conversation appear, on two different pages, is not what I tend to see in conversations -- as there is no need, if we watchlist the page on which we leave a message. As to the specifics, I believe we are squared away. Thanks for the revert on the Irish bit -- as you say on your page, "Folks, this is a worldwide encyclopedia, and as such should be written so that anybody in the world (who knows English) can understand it. ... assuming that people know something ... is antithetical to the Wikipedia mission." Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:10, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to the ref you added to Wildlife of Antarctica, how much of the preceding text did it cover? Previously the paragraph was all covered by the cybertuffle reference, and as I can't access your source and there's no quote I can't tell if it covers all the text preceding in the paragraph or just the one sentence. Regards, CMD (talk) 17:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. The sentence I had in mind for that new ref was the one right before the note. I wasn't sure about the text before that sentence. Thank you for pointing that out; I'll 'jump' the footnote now.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! CMD (talk) 17:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a general thing, the Wright (1987) work is a comprehensive overview of the ownership-and-control issue (as of then), and its 200-plus footnotes include many sources that are useful in their own right.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 00:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, however fantastic a source it is, I can't use it if I can't access it! I suppose it's up to you to spread that source's knowledge throughout wikipedia. CMD (talk) 10:14, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is too bad that it's not on the Web—yet. Maybe some day.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:01, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In answer to your comment, it appears that it was ignited by static electricity (a common hazard with high-velocity gas spewing out of a blowout), but since I couldn't find mentions of the ignition source that could usefully be cited (blogs and random stuff on the Web were where I saw this), I left it out. I had a lot of trouble sourcing it properly, not surprising for something from 1962. I did read the transcript from John Glenn's three orbits, in which he mentions seeing fires and smoke in north Africa: obviously, others made the correlation with the Gassi Touil well fire at the time.
