Those were the days, eh. Be nice to go back 20 years and start all over. Or even 30 .... Soap 17:24, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

It would be interesting to pick a standout edit from ~10 years ago and include that with the star. e.g. i just thought of this. Soap 19:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Algonquian languages

Hi! This is simply out of curiosity, as I am not a student of Native American languages. Could you please explain to me the one tiiiny difference in the Algonquian language maps, which appears to be the removal of a tiny area of northern California from the previous map's coverage area? Just wondering, as I live in California. Jeff in CA (talk) 00:12, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff in CA: Thanks for asking. Algic is a language family that includes all of the Algonquian languages spread across the eastern US & Canada and two more distantly related ones in northern California. The two non-Algonquian languages are packed into a territory so small that it appears that either a bot or a person simply didn't see them and labeled the two maps as duplicates. What I did was restore the map that got deleted by rubbing out the pink area in California. I also changed the color scheme slightly just in case a bot was the initial cause of the map getting deleted. Soap 19:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Since 2017 Ive just been voting neutral on all of the names I dont recognize and S/O on the ones I do. I think that makes sense so long as neutral votes are still discarded the way theyve always been. Soap 01:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks (black hole physics)

Thanks for your edits at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Stellar_black_hole#Missing:_estimate_of_tidal_force_on_human_body . I just read a science fiction story that takes place on a planetoid orbiting a black hole. People could ride a ship down to almost the event horizon. When they returned to the planetoid, they were in the future, depending on how far down they went and how long they stayed. So ridiculous. I can believe in time travel to the future (not the past), but not in trying to approach a black hole. It's just as ridiculous as landing on the surface of a quasar. There are some things that people cannot do, according to physics. But many people don't really want to believe science, do they? Hah. David Spector (talk) 12:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Knewz moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Knewz, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Longisquama

I removed that image from the article because the author himself said it's inaccurate. "Qilong" wrote this in his blog: "An outdated reconstruction of Longisquama insignis (Sharov, 1970), with the limbs held in an erect, potentially terrestrial posture. (I no longer agree with this interpretation, nor with the reconstruction of the skull — it was done over 10 years ago!)". This is not my "opinion", it's what the illustrator said about his own work. Kiwi Rex (talk) 19:09, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice that the blog was written by the same person who uploaded the sketch. He is long gone now, and implies on his blog that he might never come back, so we can't really get his input on whether the picture should stay or go. It's still valid in the sense that the original researcher, Sharov, believed it was true, and I would like to have some sort of image on the page so people can see what this animal may have looked like, and in particular I like having the side-by-side comparison of the same animal with fronds and without fronds. I guess File:Longisquama_BW.jpg will do for now. Would this be worth mentioning on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Palaeontology/Paleoart_review ? Soap 19:21, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
It's probably worth reviewing this image there (along with File:Longisquama BW.jpg, which also has not been reviewed yet).Kiwi Rex (talk) 12:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Remastering (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ  Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It was on purpose .... we have no better place to link to right now. Perhaps I will just remove it again. Soap 07:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
