Hey great catch on the Childhood obesity article! I read the article that claimed SES had an effect on obesity and you were 100% correct, the article doesn't use it as a variable and only mentions it in the very end as a future direction. Good work and thank you for making Wikipedia a better place! Dr vulpes (Talk) 04:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't know why I was looking up your recent contributions but I'm really glad I did. Your edit summary "McUnion was my first article title idea but that wouldn't fry 🍟" in the McDonald's and unions article was unexpected and pure gold. Thanks for making me laugh and for showing me that you can add emojis to edit summaries. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 06:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for all the work you did on Crow Village Sam, I was really bummed that I couldn't find resources to save it at AfD but I just saw how much work you and others put into saving it and it made me really happy. Your works is important and I look forward to seeing more of it here. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 21:46, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for all the work you've been putting into the Clipperton Island article. I spent a lot of time expanding it and was kind of dreading going back over and copyediting it. You've done some really good work and I appreciate it. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 23:38, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I know we didn't see eye to eye with the Indigenous science article a couple months back. But after reviewing your edits I got really interested in the short description wikiproject. It has been so much fun! Thanks for introducing this to me and for all the work you put into Wikipedia. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 08:53, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I just reviewed your article on Tulainyo Lake and it was GREAT. I learned a lot from it and discovered there are people willing to hike up to places like that with scuba gear. Here I was thinking hiking with ham radio gear was nuts! I have a soft spot for the Sierra backcountry, as a Boy Scout I really enjoyed my time backpacking so these articles always make my day and when they're well written it's even better. I hope you write more articles and if you need help or run into problems please reach out on my talk page. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 21:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

I am a native English speaker, I'm finishing my PhD, I think I'm smart. I am not. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for pointing out my mistake with State vs state. I want to recognize your professionalism and kindness in the face of my ~2000 edits worth of errors. Wikipedia is better because of people like you and again, thank you.

Uggg my mistake on the Kicker (EP) article, I went through all the interviews on Billboard and FINALLY found one that talked about Kicker making it to number 10 on the Billboard Vinyl chart which was all it really needed. The Indie chart that's listed on the bands discography is behind a paywall. Thanks for being chill and responsive, I almost made a really stupid mistake to an important article. You were super cool and professional which I really appreciate. Thanks again! Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 01:54, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
