As the previous holder of the record for the number of new articles included in a single DYK, I take my hat off to you. Not only an amazing DYK, but fantastically high quality individual articles, and on one of my favourite subjects too! :-) hamiltonstone (talk) 22:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of discussion

A few months ago, you participated in a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Did you know about Gibraltar-related DYKs on the Main Page. I am proposing that the temporary restrictions on such DYKs, which were imposed in September 2012, should be lifted and have set out a case for doing so at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs. If you have a view on this, please comment at that page. Prioryman (talk) 22:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anchiceratops

Hallo, Abyssal! As you perhaps have noticed, I'm in the habit of making some additions to English dinosaur articles after I have expanded or created their counterparts on the Dutch Wikipedia. Recently it was the turn of Anchiceratops. While googling information about this creature, I happened upon a concept page you created for specimen NMC 8547, the one that Mallon removed from the material of Anchiceratops. It occurred to me that this might a good occasion to actually create the article — or, alternatively, to add the information for the time being, until future finds prove or disprove the identity, to the Anchiceratops article, obviously with the necessary explanations, caveats and such. Do you think this might be expedient at the moment? Or is it too early yet?
