Thanks for dropping me a line. I was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a few years ago, but didn't take many pictures. I'm sure someone will snap one! Gareth Hughes 23:58, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Hi, thanks for the note but I don't understand it, what do you mean "try"? I clicked on the GMA "Current Autoblocks" link and it shows an active autoblock, but why did that affect my username after it was unblocked? (I apologize if that question is gibberish but I don't understand all the mechanics of blocking, autoblocking, and unblocking (and reblocking)). And by the way, who are you?

DYK[edit]

On 27 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Lavinia Williams, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Please do not create redirects to non-existent pages. It is better to create the page before the redirect. Mapetite526 19:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lavinia Williams[edit]

Thanks for contributing the Lavinia Williams article. I also saw your discussion of additional sources on the article's Talk page. It would be just as easy, and more informative for Wikipedia's readers, to list the references in the article's references section. Just a suggestion.

By the way, an article on the American Negro Ballet would also be welcome. Another surprising omission.

Thanks again.

Finell, thanks for your kind comment regarding Lavinia Williams. Sorry I haven't been around much to reply. You suggested I list the additional citations I found (and mentioned on the article's talk page) under "References" in the article itself. The only thing is, I have no idea if they are real, trustworthy, or accurately transcribed. The citations on the talk page (as opposed to the ones in the articles) are citations I have seen references to online, but where I have not actually seen or heard the books, videos, or audiotapes myself, and could not even find them listed in library catalogs that I checked. I mentioned them on the talk page to give people who wanted to work on the article ideas for places to look, but I didn't want to just blindly propagate them into the article before someone checked up on them.

I've been away for awhile, so please forgive my delay in replying to you. It does not look like anyone else is taking up further work on Lavinia Williams, and I am not in a position to do so (I tripped across the article while editing Léon Theremin). So, if you could find some time to expand the article you created, that would be great. Someone else added comments to the Lavinia Williams article, visible only in the edit window, with WP's guidelines for biographical articles. I just added a dance-bio stub tag to the article in the hope of encouraging others to participate.

Any thought of doing an article on the American Negro Ballet?

Hello[edit]

Just stopped by to say you a big hello. --Bhadani 03:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Louis Agassiz Shaw Junior[edit]

On 14 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Louis Agassiz Shaw Junior, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Louis Agassiz Shaw Junior, grandson of Quincy Adams Shaw and a member of an influential Boston Brahmin family, was co-inventor of the iron lung? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
