The "Truthers"

Thanks for your short but sweet responses whenever you explain to the truthers why conspiracy theories aren't mentioned at all or at least in much detail in articles based on the known evidence....much appreciated.MONGO 17:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As an outsider, I may occasionally be able to remind editors that the broader community supports Wikipedia guidelines. So, I try to do that when I have an opportunity. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 17:31, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seattle Wikipedia Meetup

Hello. Some of us Seattle Wikipedians are organizing a meetup for the "Wikipedia Loves Libraries" event Wikipedia is promoting. Most of us have other Wikipedia interests beyond this as well, but at this event the focus will be discussing Wikipedia's entries on libraries in this area. I am writing to invite you to join us at 7pm on Tuesday, October 25 at Allegro Coffee in u-district in Seattle. Here is the meetup page for this event. I would appreciate your noting on that page if you plan to come. That page also has more event details and some description of what preparation has been done.

I got your name because you posted interest in the meetup last summer. I reserved a private room for us at this venue so we will have less interruption this time than on a busy beach. Thank you for your attention, and if you ever want to talk to a Seattle-area Wikipedian for any reason, then please feel free to contact me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:30, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elk

Great thanks for your contributions to the discussion about "elk". Laser brain has asked me to stop the discussion immediately, so I've answered on his talk page. I've asked him to consider that people thinking about Alces alces may simply write in other Wikipedia articles "elk" in double square brackets if they are unaware of the ambiguity. If "Elk" was a disambiguation page, the people would be warned by a bot that they must be more specific. Many people do not know that European elk and North American elk are very different and do not even belong to the same genus. As a biologist and science translator for 20 years, I've heard about the North American usage of this word only recently. That is why I'm so persistent - to avoid confusion in Wikipedia and elsewhere, rather than to prove that I'm right for the sake of my ego. Sylwia Ufnalska (talk) 21:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. Thank you for pointing out this problem. I'll comment further on the article talk page. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 00:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
