== Burroughs ==
== A barnstar for you! ==
 
{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;"
Hi -- I think you made a pretty obviously bad call on the Burroughs article. The wording I used reflects the little that we know for certain from the sources, whereas the wording you reverted it to is contradicted by both the historical record (admittedly nebulous) and by the article itself. We can get into it in more detail if you like, but I'd like to start off by just inviting you to reconsider. Thanks.

Hi TOJ, we'll sorely miss you while you are gone, and I hope you come back well rested after a while. You are a tireless and very valued member of the Wikipedia community, especially when it comes to film articles and so forth. Be well and take care of yourself and do what you need to do to be happy and at peace. Much love, [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 20:41, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

== ArbCom 2018 election voter message ==

All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
==Reversion of my edit==
Hey, just wanted to touch base and ask why you reverted my edit on the [[Stripes (film)|Stripes]]. What makes you think Stillman ordered the mortor to be fired to impress a colonel? Having just seen the movie myself on television, that didn't seem to be the case to me. Thanks! [[User:Sephiroth9611|Sephiroth9611]] ([[User talk:Sephiroth9611|talk]]) 16:47, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain in the future from making hasty trigger-happy reverts based on your wrong assumptions because I am more than inclined to find your behavior "abusive" and consequently inform proper places.

== Please comment on deleted T.S. Eliot "Jacob Epstein" sub-section ==
 
I have seen that you have made edits to the T.S. Eliot article before. I am interested in your comments on a recent change. A recent sub-section about the sculptor [[Jacob Epstein]] was made to the [[T.S. Eliot]] article. I deleted the addition and explained my reasons on the talk page.
 
Here is what was removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=T._S._Eliot&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=877562978&oldid=877549994
 
Some have mentioned on the talk page that the Epstein material should be put back. Would you please look at the changes and make your opinion known on the
Eliot talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:T._S._Eliot#Jacob_Epstein

== Murder Ballads article ==
 
Hi, OldJacobite. I noticed in the [[Murder ballad]] talk section that you had an interest in this article. I'd appreciate your feedback on my new comments which address changes I've made and plan to make to the article's List of Murder Ballads section: [[Talk:Murder ballad#Cleanup of List of Murder Ballads section]]. Thanks. [[User:Allreet|Allreet]] ([[User talk:Allreet|talk]]) 18:19, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
