A cup of coffee for you!

You did a great job with the British telephone sockets article. Thanks for your edits. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Those links will be very useful. One of them has already given me a leap in understanding what I am doing, and your post here and on the Article Talk page I edited added a couple of tips. Like the underline sub-heading and the indent colon. GreenOctopus (talk) 22:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two communications guys

Jim.henderson, would you meet GreenOctopus? GreenOctopus is new to Wikipedia and used to work in communications. I thought you two might have something in common, and Jim, I thought you might be able to introduce GreenOctopus to some relevant WikiProject. Take care.

Delighted. I've been Wikiing for a decade now, beginning during my final years of repairing switching equipment. Never worked in DSL but spent some time editing the article. The main Wikiproject is Wikipedia:WikiProject Telecommunications which has been quiet lately. More often I'm editing about my hobbies, cycling and photography and local New York history and a little astronomy. My editing occasionally overlaps with our mutual friend Bluerasberry's medical interests, mainly when suffer some ailment, look it up, and am dissatisfied. I shall happily get together with him and other Wikifriends in Harlem on Saturday, coaching at a library WP:Edit-a-thon. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:55, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
