Impact

You wrote: "Don't know what's wrong with the word 'impact'."

It's a noun, not a verb. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:08, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
@Piledhigheranddeeper: Actually, it can be either one. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 02:09, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diligence
For your creation of Class A Wild Trout Waters in response to another editor's query – and not just a 1500-character start article, but an in-depth, quality article in line with all the other Pennsylvania rivers and streams articles that you have added to the encyclopedia. Thank you for your diligence and commitment to the project! Yoninah (talk) 10:58, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Racking Horse World Celebration DYK

I think I have fixed your concerns expressed in the review. I added some content, filled in the refs and and cleared up what I see now was confusing: the World and Spring Celebrations are two different events, although I have put them in the same article due to their close similarities. I reworked the lead to clear that up. (I thought about making them 2 separate articles, but figured they'd just end up merged because of the similarities.)

Bodies of water categories

The consensus at the CfD was against your categorization scheme. I have reverted your category changes. Please stop disruptively emptying categories out of process. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 17:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Please follow BRD and stop edit warring over these categories. Feel free to propose your changes at an appropriate talk page where consensus can be reached prior to making further changes. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 17:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Why don't you go do something actually useful, like write an article for once instead of fiddling around with categories? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:54, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
