About
Agreed. Though the two Mormon Dan Jones' are confused sometimes, Dan Jones and Daniel Webster Jones are distinct categories for the purposes of a Wikipedia disambiguation page. I do notice that there is an empty link on the current Dan Jones article referencing "For Joseph Smith's bodyguard, see Dan Jones (Mormon)." (This is the same individual as the Welsh missionary). Mainly, I'd left it there because you'd put it in, after I had mentioned it as an example. Anyway, thanks. Ryan Reeder 06:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Move of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Hi, Ryan! I'm Alanyst. You might remember me from such websites as the EDS message board.
Just wanted to drop a note regarding your move of
While I applaud your boldness in just doing what you thought to be the correct action, please be aware that there was a lengthy discussion about the proper name for the Wikipedia article about the Church a while back. See
No doubt you were unaware of the discussion or its outcome, so don't get the idea that the move was a Bad Thing to Do (TM). You boldly edited, which is a positive trait for a Wikipedian. But now that you know a bit of the background, and to avoid a renaming war, it's probably best if you sought consensus for the move on the Talk page before attempting it again.
Best wishes for good editing! Alanyst 06:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Ryan -- noticed your work recently, and did a little editing on the Dan Jones article. Please note that the following categories have been targeted for deletion or movement by User:Bhoeble. Please express your opinions ASAP. Thank you. WBardwin 08:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
5.2.22 Category:Latter Day Saint history to Category:History of Mormonism 5.2.23 Category:Latter Day Saint History Books to Category:History books about Mormonism 5.2.24 Category:Latter Day Saint Historians to Category:Historians of Mormonism
Oh, Ryan. Someday soon, (how soon?) I hope, I'm going to get to work on Mormon Trail which is in terrible shape. You look like you might be interested too. Want to help? WBardwin 09:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Sure, among other things. (I'm still kind of new here, so I'm not quite sure--I'm supposed to respond on my page to comments made to others to my page, right?) There are a few areas, particularly in LDS history, that I'd like to make some contributions in. I just put up a stub for Devil's Gate, Wyoming, as far as the Mormon Trail goes. Thanks for the heads up on the targeted for deletion. I'd noticed the changes you made, but I plan to go more in-depth at some point, anyway, on that article.Ryan Reeder 10:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC) (forgot to sign earlier).
- Great -- I've been talking to another user about work to be done on Mormon Battalion which is also in great need of help. If interested, please take a look at his proposed outline on the talk page. Look forward to working with you. WBardwin 09:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I have determined not to get in an edit war again - but Gellerson reverts contrary to the views expressed on the talk page - can you help??? Trödel 21:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Greetings
Hi. I saw your name pop up on my watchlist, and now it's been bugging me because your name sounds super familiar. I just can't figure out where we've crossed paths before. Sue Anne 21:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure. I don't see enough information to be able to tell who you are. I've lived in Brigham City, Bolivia, Provo, and Salt Lake City. Online, I've been posting for several years with my real name on Eric D. Snider's message board. Hope that helps. Let me know.--Ryan Reeder 04:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Have you been on either Mormon-L or LDS-left? Sue Anne 06:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Nope. Haven't heard of them. I consider myself fairly conservative, actually. Are you thinking you know me from real-life or online? Also, I've met at least two people personally who were named Ryan Reeder. --Ryan Reeder 07:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Daniel Webster Jones
The article itself states that he resided in Howard County, Missouri. According to the definition of the US government, Howard County is currently a part of the Columbia, Missouri metropolitan statistical area, and all the people who have resided in any part of the current MSA have been placed in the appropriate People from X category. This would actually make it easier to find people in a smaller, suburban, community, not harder. I acknowledge that some feelings might be hurt by people who cannot see themselves as being in any way related to the core city of an MSA, and I sympathize with that. However, for any students who might be looking for people from their home town to write papers on, I think that the smaller search categories would be helpful, even if the names of the categories are mildly objectionable. Unfortunately, the existing category names indicate that "People from [City]" is the proper name, and reversion of all to "People from the [City] metropolitan area" would created undue hardship in recategorizing, say, Philadelphia, Boston, and the other larger metropolitan areas. You are, of course, free to do as you see fit. My recent actions have been taken to bring the Category: People from Missouri down to usable size, particularly as I am slowly adding all of the current state representatives and Senators, which will make it grow yet again. Again, however, you are free to do as you see fit. These actions were taken for the purpose of making it easier to find people, and if other considerations outweigh that one, so be it.

Joseph Standing
Ryan,
I made a major revision to the Joseph Standing article you created last year (July 2, 2006). The images of his grave you posted are great. Now their are images of the murder site and Monument in Georgia. Check it out. Matthew R. Lee 02:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:AbrahamOWoodruffGrave.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AbrahamOWoodruffGrave.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Harper Ward, Utah, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Honeyville and Thomas Harper (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.
