User talk:Microchip08

Hello, Daveler16. You have new messages at Microchip08's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

As a matter of course, we usually respond to messages wherever they were left (to stop the conversation fragmenting), so I, and another user, replied to you at User talk:Microchip08. Hope this helps, —Microchip08 (talk) 23:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi, I see you've been reverted again. Sorry, I've mentioned your name in the SG Talk page and haven't introduced myself. I just wanted to say that those were good cites you posted, especially the ones on the UN speeches books. It must have taken some work to put those together, so thanks for that. Those could be the base for a good section on pacifism, which the article needs. Hopefully after a few days we will have established that you have every right to post those sources. Sometimes in an edit war the best thing to do is just wait a few days for the flames to die down. In this case the people involved seem very determined, so it may take longer. But somehow or other, Wikipedia works these things out, so let's hope that eventually your contributions will stand. -- Margin1522 (talk) 17:19, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am admiring your work. --Daveler16 (talk) 04:48, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (April 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at IRS targeting controversy. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Daveler16/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Fiddle Faddle 20:41, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SG page

Hi Daveler. I don't think there are any problems with a note like the one you sent me, and I'm afraid I have to agree with your assessment of the page. But unfortunately I'm dealing with some medical issues right now and don't have a lot of time to do research. I will be happy to give my perspective if comments are needed. – Margin1522 (talk) 03:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nichiren Buddhism

Hi there, just wanted to speak with you about your recent edit of Nichiren Buddhism. In adding what seems like good content, you removed about a paragraph worth of existing, sourced content, which looked fine to me, though I'm not an expert in the topic. If you did have a good reason for removing it, that should really be mentioned in the edit summary.

Also, your text contained a good number (8 or so) of odd spaces, which looked to have been put there by mistake. When these occur in the middle of a word, link, or tag, they can cause real problems. I just wanted to mention this in case you were unaware of this issue. I've done the cleanup on your addition, so it's not a problem for now, but something to keep your eye on in the future, please. Thank you!! Jessicapierce (talk) 05:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've just now seen your notice on the talk page for that article, which makes it sound as though you did mean to trim part of that paragraph. As I said, this is not my area, so if you think that content needs to be removed, please feel free to re-remove it. Jessicapierce (talk) 05:21, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JessicapierceThank you so much for your comments and catching those mistakes. Yes, I have always assumed that changes should be noted o the Talk Page, rather than the Edit Summary, o there can be a dialogue. I mentioned my feeling tht edits were necessary in this section months ago; there was some discussion for a while, but when it got to specifics it seems it got to me and just one other prson -- and his interests were not in the edits so much as in the order of the section. So, after stating my intention, and getting no feedback, I assumed there was no objection and went ahead and edited.

Thanks for your reply - makes perfect sense! Jessicapierce (talk) 06:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jessicapierce Just wanted to let you know I re-edited as I took your previous comment to mean my original edit was all right with you. My gosh, there were some difficult language problems - took me two days to figure out how to fix a "closing <ref>" error.--Daveler16 (talk) 17:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the re-edit (and the update)! Yeah, I've definitely run into ref errors that are super mystifying. Sometimes it's a maze of weird formatting, other times it comes down to ONE wrong character in there somewhere. I don't know which is more frustrating. If you ever want a fresh pair of eyes to check something over, feel free to drop me a line! Jessicapierce (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
