I took a look at the newly listed Mount Yonaha, and can't figure out why you blanked it. It looked like a decent enough start as an article.Boneyard90 (talk) 15:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Meant to blank my sandbox. Restored. Thanks always Brian!Prburley (talk) 16:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

No problem! Boneyard90 (talk) 17:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I re-assessed it as C-class. Generally, if articles aren't of a certain length, they're assumed to be lacking in "coverage". Even if I assessed it as B-class, some other editor would come along and downgrade it (it's happened before). Anyway, keep up the good work.Boneyard90 (talk) 18:10, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

As always, thanks. I suspect "Yonaha" means something in Okinawan, but I wasn't able to find it.Prburley (talk) 13:22, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

The article does not demonstrate any lasting significance and thus fails a number of policies and guidelines so the notability tag should remain. Mtking ^(edits) 04:29, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Prburley. I have nominated this article by you for use in the DYK section on MainPage. You can see the nomination and the reviewers' comments here. If you are interested in getting this article of yours showcased on MainPage, please respond to the reviewers' concern regarding the lack of footnotes. I don't have the references, so I can't fix things up myself. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 03:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for not posting to the DYK reviewer comments. Will tackle the "environmental conditions" section when I have the time/energy to work from the Japanese sources, that section was indeed unsourced. They're pretty dense. Thanks! ---> Prburley (talk) 10:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Could you please create a new Wikipedia article listing all the user names and passwords of every Wikipedia account (with Email addresses) in a table ? I am quite sure it could be done by someone of you standards. Atleast, could you mail me ? My e-mail ID : support@microsoft.com

Thank You, A Sincere Wikipedian — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.37.118 (talk) 11:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Sincere yet Unsigned Anonymous IP,

Username list: no. I could create a table/list of IIHF Men's National Under-18 Ice Hockey Teams that would be more useful than clutter articles like Japan men's national under-18 ice hockey team, which lacks both literary warrant and notability. I'd even bother to capitalize the name of each team--per standard English language usage.

	The Citation Barnstar
	Thank you for your work in expanding Ogasawara Nagahide! Yunshui 雲‍水 17:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

In fact, off the back of that, I wonder if I might ask you a favour. I've created a number of article in the last few months on comparatively obscure Japanese topics (e.g. Chikaraishi, Ogasawara ryu, Kamizumo, Inuoumono and others). I'm somewhat hampered by my lack of ability to read Japanese sources, though, so I'm limited to what I can find in English - which often isn't much. Since you're clearly more than capable of finding and using Japanese sources, I wonder if you might like to take a look at my backlog and help fill some of them out? I can't promise much by way of a reward - there's a beer in it for you if you're ever passing through Bristol, though. Yunshui 雲‍水 17:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks tremendously. My access to sources is more limited than I'd like, but I rely on interlibrary loan. You articles are an interesting bunch, thanks for creating these. (One trip to Bristol in my life, I did drink beer, endless places to photograph in that city!) Prburley (talk) 09:53, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

You wouldn't by any chance have access to the publications of Shinsuke Takashima, of Yokkaichi University, would you? I'd very much like to use his work in the article on Chikaraishi (he's pretty much the world authority on the subject) but I can't get hold of his publications - and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to read them! The GA reviewer for that article has requested more detail from Takashima's literature, which I'm unable to provide. Any assistance gratefully received. Cheers, Yunshui 雲‍水 12:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

The Chikaraishi article is SO cool. The reviewer is correct about Takashima. He seems to have published about chikaraishi by region but I'll just ILL whatever's available and see what comes in. So I do have access to those resources, but it'll take a week for them to arrive here at the library, and another week to add the info/references to the article. You can see his works at Worldcat by entering "chikaraishi" in the search box. Stay tuned! Thanks always! Prburley (talk) 14:19, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Please see your DYK nomination; the page is worded rather awkwardly, and I'm not excited about promoting a page that isn't in good English. However, these fixes shouldn't be too hard (I'd do it myself, but I don't have time), and the page will be ready to go once the wording is improved. Nyttend (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Sure. See User:Piotrus/vector.js for the script for that, it adds a fix ref option to the pull down menu (where move is). It's the one called "Δ script for ref sorting and moving" and consists of two lines of code that follow it.

Greetings. There is a question about the content of the Nitta clan article on the WP Reference Desk: Humanities page. It concerns an unsourced edit to the article which appears to have been made by you on 12 September, if I'm reading the Edit History correctly (I'm not very good at the technical stuff I'm afraid). Perhaps you would like to follow the link above and add your thoughts? Thanks and regards, Alansplodge (talk) 17:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the merge, the Portuguese languages articles have been merged too. There's no secret on doing a good merge, be sure to add every valid material that the page being merged contains but the other page doesn't, and erase what's repeated. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 15:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Everything seems fine to me. The only thing I did was to remove Category:Politics of Brazil - since Category:Government of Brazil is already a category of Category:Politics in Brazil, and that article you worked on is already categorized as Category:Government of Brazil, it's not necessary to add Category:Politics of Brazil. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 01:55, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately I ran into problems with this, and I was a bit upset that several of the Nigerians walked out. Got nowhere after 6 weeks. I want everybody to support this and not think I'm trying to compete with their own contests or anything. Instead I think an Africa Destubathon, a general Africa one targeting stubs from all African ones might be the best place to start. Then once we have more support and trust, we can move forward to regional ones. But something which helps blast away the stubs will be a good thing I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:35, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

The project is a great thing. Let's just carry forward in some form! I don't quite get the destubbing part of things. The biggest achievement in my opinion will be focusing on the number of new/improved articles and watching the progress to 10K.Prburley (talk) 16:57, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Prburley, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 02:13, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Werner Haberkorn, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

I am still rather new as an editor. I have been working on the History of Pernambuco article for a while now (a month?) I see you are the person who has posted on that Article talk page, who also seems to have something going on on his or her talk page, at least recently. I only recently began to realize that user pages and user talk pages existed. So today, I thought I would post on the pages of people who had previously posted on the History of Pernambuco talk page. So...I'm not certain if this sort of communication is desirable, common, or useful, but here it is. Anyway, following the Be Bold encouragement I have just jumped in and started editing. I did make a couple of posts on the History of Pernambuco talk page, thinking that someone in the Brazil project would sometime see it and communicate. However, it appears to me that the article has lost interest. P2dwight (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from pt:Barroco no Brasil to Baroque in Brazil. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 03:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Burley,

When you have a chance to take photographs in Chicago, is it okay if I specify some ideas for photographs that could enhance Wikipedia articles? If you're interested I can list some ideas. Thank you, WhisperToMe (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Possibly, what do you have in mind? Prburley (talk)

• John C. Haines Elementary School in Chinatown, Chicago (247 West 23rd Place, Chicago, IL 60616, the public elementary school for Chinatown)
• Ogden International School:

• East Campus (Gold Coast, Chicago): 24 W. Walton St., Chicago, IL 60610
• Jenner Campus (formerly Edward Jenner School): 1119 North Cleveland Ave., Chicago, IL 60610
• West Campus (9-12): 1250 W. Erie St., Chicago, IL 60642

• Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Lincoln Park, Chicago (615 W Kemper Pl, Chicago, IL 60614)
• Inter-American Magnet School

These are several schools in the central and northside areas. I can add more if more neighborhoods are convenient for you.

Thanks,

WhisperToMe (talk) 22:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh cool. Do these all have the category "Wikipedia requested photographs in Chicago" and coordinates? I've used Open Street Maps that way. I probably won't photograph much until April. Prburley (talk)

I added the relevant photoreq templates to the talk pages, and they are in that respective category. However I don't know where to put the coordinates since I can't find how to add coordinates to the photo request templates. If there's a place to add coordinates I'm happy to do so! And April's a good time to photograph them. Also if youre open to two more: Benito Juarez Community Academy (designed by a famous Mexican architect). There are others I'm adding photo req templates to. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I also found that the image at Mondelez International is of the old headquarters in Deerfield. The new HQ is at 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200 Chicago, IL, 60607, USA. If it's alright, I would like to add it to the request list too. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I see you have done a lot of work on Salvador and Candomblé. Would you mind taking a look at this article and see if I've made any howlers and perhaps improve it. Many thanks. Roundtheworld (talk) 10:55, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@Roundtheworld You bet, and thank you for your work on this article. Prburley (talk)

Hi @Prburley thanks for your work on the churches of Sergipe, specifically in São Cristovao. I visited there recently and it was cool to see that the different churches had their own dedicated pages. Regards, Ridiculopathy (talk) 21:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, they're nice places. I only got to visit Laranjeiras for about an hour because there's no pousada there and I had to head back to Aracaju. There's certainly no shortage of churches in that area. Ridiculopathy (talk) 10:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

That's that best message I've perhaps ever received on here, but I have more articles to finish from there. Sergipe is a relaxing place to visit, and São Cristóvão and Laranjeiras are real gems. Prburley (talk)
