Cheers and jeers go here -->

		The Original Barnstar
		I noticed your series of outstanding edits to Bruinsburg, Mississippi, a place I'd never heard of and am now deeply interested in. Then, on your home page, I found the list of articles you started about U.S. slave traders. Thanks for making these crucial additions to a Wikipedia topic field (U.S. history) that is still too dominated by 19th- and early 20th-century history sources in which slavery is erased or sentimentalized. Cheers from Alabama. ― ℜob C. alias ALAROB 17:38, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of feature film series with three entries is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of feature film series with three entries until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hi, in this edit to Earl E. Kynette you introduced {{sfnp|Stevens|2009|page=232}}, butthere is no source defined for it to call. This means that nobody can look the reference up, and places the article into Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you could supply the missing source it would be appreciated. Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 20:25, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the work plus explanation at Rodney, Mississippi. It would not have even occurred to me that Template:Interlanguage link could point to Wikidata. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 07:26, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Rape-of-nanking-cover.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Wikipedia:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives its nice to see that you are still active! —usernamekiran (talk) 21:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I remembered your accountname from the American Legion talkpage. I tried to address many of the concerns raised there, but as a foreigner I am not really familiar with this part of American history. Would you be so kind to take a look? If I made any silly mistakes you can {{trout}} me . Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 04:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Smithsonian World and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Jengod! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 02:09, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what's going on here but it's funny. Love, Julie JSFarman (talk) 04:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JSFarman I was just trying to improve a stub that got draftspaced. No big deal either way LOL. Love back, Jen jengod (talk) 05:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

...but the template message inviting you to the teahouse is funny. JSFarman (talk) 05:49, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JSFarman, even established editors also come there. Maybe my wrong invitation was to help out and not to ask questions about editing. 😂 Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Safari Scribe. Nothing personal! I know it's the AfC tool that generates the template messages. And I agree that the Teahouse is an amazing resource for both new and established editors. That said, I follow Jengod's talk page for inspiration -- she is a prolific content creator. Thanks for the message (and for reviewing articles), Julie JSFarman (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jengod, that was an error. I have accepted your draft. Cheers for such contribution. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SafariScribe no worries at all! Thanks for being an AFC reviewer! jengod (talk) 19:13, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to complementary and alternative medicine, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Peter Bryan Bruin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coles Creek.

Hello Jengod,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Scotch settlement (Mississippi) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello, Jengod,

Thank you for creating Joseph Coleman (Tennessee).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Nice start. I would recommend trying to find a few more sources however.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Lordseriouspig}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hello, just sent a random thanks for your work on the Joe Martin page, which I happened upon while working on some related pages about apes. It was an unexpected delight to read, esp. given that this was a dude I hadn't seen in any primatology literature. Thanks again! Monkeywire (talk) 19:27, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Monkeywire you are so welcome. That was a whole era for me. My kids still ask "how's your monkey" when they're trying to make conversation. Anyway thank you for reminding me to write up what I'm pretty sure became of him and submit it to an actual journal since you know, we aren't a venue for original research. Anyway thanks so much for the positive feedback. It means the world. jengod (talk) 20:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
