Many thanks for your help on cywiki.However I've reverted this edit. On Welsh Wikipedia, we take a live feed from Wikidata; at present we have 9,000 photos coming from WD andwe are busy filling the remaining gap of around 1,500 (decreasing; live / not extinct) - there were 2,250 in January! We have done the same with bird sounds - they are automated, andat present we have c. 154 (increasing) coming from WD. On the 6th May we have around 50 ornithologists coming together in Snowdonia to edit cywiki, Commons and Wikidata. You're welcome to join us!Cell Danwydd (talk)15:32, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you editedSwamp boubou, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageCabinda. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

Hi. We had this discussion in 2012, but I was wondering if you still hold a strong position on this. I've been looking atWP:COMMONNAME in relation to South African articles, and I remain unconvinced that the article should be called Louis Tregardt when the spellingLouis Trichardt is the more common one. Please see the the talk page of that article.Park3r (talk)22:04, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
I’m part of a project called Fredrika, that aims to improve content related to the Swedish minority in Finland on Wikipedia. We used a so called “scraping tool” in order to analyze what users have contributed the most to articles regarding this topic on Swedish and Finnish Wikipedia and your name came up!
We just wanted to say hello and tell you about our project. If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to approach me.
Many of us are also attending the Wikimania conference in Stockholm next week and would love to meet you if you are going to be there too.

JMK, ek het al vantevore gesê ek verstaan nie mooi hoekom jy so hard op 'n ou is nie. Goed, ek weet jy wil tot op die letter sorg dat al die vereistes van die Engelse Wikipedia nagekom word sover dit plasing van artikels betref, maar dit is nou ook so dat baie daarvan daagliks deur ander bydraers omseil word sonder dat 'n haan daarna kraai. Dit wil my voorkom jy ken dalk die betrokke persoon beter as ek, dit is baie moontlik, want ek het hom nog nooit van aangesig tot aangesig ontmoet nie, slegs in korrespondensie. Dit sal dalk jou volgehoue verset kon verduidelik (anders nou as die Broederbond-ding!). Kan jy asseblief per e-pos met my kontak maak by my minder gebruikte e-pos-adres: dugeot@gmail.com . ? Ek is 'n ou man wat in Junie 82 jaar oud word. Ek hou niks van kwaaivriendskappe nie. Jy kan ook maar in Engels vir my skryf as jy so voelMieliestronk (talk)17:26, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
