Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for talk page edit

Yes, thank you for culling that note on my talk page! I hadn't been editing much lately, and only just noticed the (amusingly odd and out-of-context) comment. People are funny monkeys, sometimes. Forestgarden (talk) 19:43, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Novels Collaboration for February

Thank you everyone who participated in the January Collaboration, it was quite a success with 5 new C class articles, 3 stub kills and several articles were removed from our backlogs. In support of the Great Backlog Drive, the WikiProject Novels Collaboration for February is going to help remove backlog candidates in the backlogs related to WikiProject Novels. Please join us, and help us wikify, reference, clean up plot sections and generally improve Novels content, Sadads (talk) 21:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan article

I am just writing to inform you that you seem to have misinterpreted the "Orphan" tag on the The Dragonslayer's Apprentice article, because it is still very much an orphan. The orphan tag is because few (in this particular case it is actually none) articles link to the article. So to remove the orphan tag you would actually have to edit other articles introducing links to The Dragonslayer's Apprentice, and not adding links in The Dragonslayer's Apprentice to other articles. Spidey104 20:41, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that input. I had misinterpreted the Orphan tag, and, though adding useful links within the article is still good, I will be sure to link to The Dragonslayer's Apprentice in the future to make it not an orphan. Thank you for correcting me. Layona1 (talk) 05:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sailing 2011 Pan Am Games template

I had to remove your reflist add to this template, because then 2 reference sections would have been on the article. Intoronto1125 (talk) 20:01, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
