Cowboy image on RefDeskI suspect that the reason the image was removed was because fair-use is not generally taken to be valid on the Ref-Desk for reasons I've never quite fully understood.

Disambiguation link notificationHi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
Any suggestions for improving this automated tool are welcome. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC) Disambiguation link notificationHi. When you recently edited John Hathorn Hall, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Portrait Gallery (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Historically, we have been updating the map when the new legislation is signed (or veto overrode or won at the ballot box, etc.), and thus it can be inferred that the consensus is to update as soon as one of those occurs. A discussion has emerged in regards to whether we should begin updating from the effective date instead of from the date of signing/etc. If you have an opinion over this matter please post it at File_talk:Samesex_marriage_in_USA.svg#When_to_update_map.3F_Effective_date_or_signing.2Fruling_date Thegreyanomaly (talk) 22:40, 11 February 2012 (UTC) SAL in SW FloridaJust a heads up that I revamped your recent edit to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad article. You were correct that the SAL into Fort Myers and Naples was not abandoned in 1933, although the cited Prince book expressly states that it was. (Indeed, the 1936 Florida map alongside this section of the article shows the extension still there.) However, a 27-mile section of the Fort Myers-Naples extension between South Fort Myers and Naples was in fact abandoned by the SAL in 1942, according to this passage by Gregg Turner in his Railroads of Southwest Florida book. A look at the map of the SAL in the 1952 Official Guide confirms that its gone by this time. The line that you indicate was still extant at the time of the SCL merger in 1967 was the ACL's parallel line into Naples -- not the SAL's by then long abandoned line.

If I offended you, please understand that it wasn't my intent. My tone in reply was meant to be tongue in cheek, just suggesting that we approach him on his talk page with more gentle reminders about guidelines. I had already done the same thing by leaving him a note. I asked, but no one could explain how his edits could only be in bad faith. Many good, experienced and responsible editors like yourself start out here by dabbling, like this editor. It was an attempt to inject a little humor into a situation that itself wasn't dire, and I had thought the faux British overtones such as "in front of god and the Queen" and the obviously overkill links to capital punishment and the stocks would have shown I was only saying the situation would benefit from a soft touch, rather than an admin's toolbox. But I wasn't trying to spank you, just suggest that leaving a personal note first is often a better solution than ANI. Sometimes I forget that others might not be comfortable dropping personal notes on other editor's talk pages, which is my own shortcoming. Regardless, it wasn't my intention to offend you or diminish your contributions here, and I'm sorry if it came across that way. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 11:07, 29 April 2012 (UTC) Discussion on when to update File:Samesex marriage in USA.svgHello, there is a discussion here concerning when we should update this map (when a new law/court order/etc. is made or when it goes into effect).

I wanted you to know I reverted your comma edit to Prop 8 moving a comma inside the quotation marks. I am sure you will be surprised to hear this, but actually MOS:LQ, which has our rules about punctuation, only allows punctuation inside quotation marks if the punctuation was present in the original text. Because the referenced article used a period, not a comma, it did belong outside after all. Best, AgnosticAphid talk 05:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles. We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article. Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks!
