Hospitaller colonization of the Americas

Hi Fishal, I believe that Chicbyaccident is in the wrong yet again. He (or she) just does things and hopes for the best. He will edit topics of which he has no knowledge, so has no feeling for the rightness or wrongness of what he is doing. He and I have crossed swords before and I am left with the impression that his edits could very well be chemically induced. If the article was a GA, I would revert it and get an Admin involved. Just go up his talk page and you will find one. Stand your ground and good luck. Kiltpin (talk) 13:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Hospitaller colonization of the Americas, again

Hi Fishal, I hope you haven't given up on restoring the Hospitaller colonization of the Americas. I am a regular reader of the articles in that colonization series, and I think what has happened to it is quite frankly terrible. Kind regards, mate. FrunkSpace (talk) 11:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Are you aware that you have spoken to the Sandy Hook shooter in 2007?

I was researching his case (a peculiar one I must say), and came across some Wikipedia edits he made. I though I would let you know that you at one point eleven years ago discussed Barack Obama with him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BetweenCupsOfTea (talk • contribs) 10:20, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Puerto Ricans in World War II into World War II by country. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:32, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited World War II by country, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Habbaniya (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.)

Illinois news

It seems unlikely that will be updated, because it was not updated before. Are you really wanting to commit to updating it like every week or so? Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

OK, for now, but I'm skeptical because it gets not recent fast, and it looks bad. Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:18, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
