Hello, and a small dinosaur dinner as a welcome

Hi, didn't know you were new, so welcome. As to the bee hummingbird, yes, it is the smallest known dinosaur of all time. No fossil dinosaur has been found as small as this specimen (the article cited on the page, where the bee hummingbird is mentioned in the second paragraph, was about a similarly-sized bird which turned out to be a lizard and so the article was retracted as to the lizard but not the factual descriptor of the bee hummingbird). The information was added to the lead by an administrator. The key word is "known", and as no other same-sized or smaller dinosaur, including any other bird, has been found, the language is factual and encyclopedic, and a relevant size-record for this particular bird. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:07, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. Looked at your Kakivak draft, and it now seems fine and well sourced, so you can probably just mainspace it without waiting for further approval (which can take months). Randy Kryn (talk) 10:15, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! I went back on my edit after the fact. I didn't add the source back, because it had been retracted (I believe for innacuracies) and I thought it invalid as a source. (Btw, first time using the talk page, so I probably pulled a WikiDodo here) Mebigrouxboy (talk) 21:45, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw your nice note on the page, classy. The source seems unique as it proves the point by being retracted. The article was about a fossil bird that rivaled the bee hummingbird as the smallest known dinosaur, but then was later found to be a lizard and not a bird, leaving, hence the retraction, the bee hummingbird as the champion of tiny dinos. Sort of a double-back-flip type of source which proves the point by taking the long way around (a Clara Oswald reference). Randy Kryn (talk) 03:24, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pidan (textile), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Khmer.

Patriotic Society (Venezuela)

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source. The best way to do this is to include it in your first edit summary (e.g. “translated from es.wiki”) and there’s also a translation template you can add to the talk page. I’ve added it for you. Happy editing and please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help Mccapra (talk) 08:56, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages, as you did to Dechen Wangmo (politician). This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 05:16, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Moving categories

Hi, please just use the WP:Categories_for_discussion process for moving categories, rather than copying and pasting to a corrected name. The latter loses the history of the page, including attribution to the original author. It also unlinks the page from Wikidata, where it might be connected to equivalent pages in other-language Wikipedians, Commons etc (although in the case of Category:Egalitarian communities there were no such pages). If there was a talk page, that would also be lost.

The other advantages of using CFD are that even better ideas may emerge, and that a bot will move the contents for you.

Hope this helps. Thanks for tidying up mistakes on Wikipedia! – Fayenatic London 08:23, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lego Indiana Jones GAN

Hey, I think you can just request a second opinion on your GAN since the previous reviewer was inactive. It may speed up the process a bit as opposed to waiting for someone to pick up the new nomination. -- ZooBlazer^talk 22:41, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How would I go about that? Mebigrouxboy (talk) 22:43, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the instructions, it seems the reviewer has to do it, but it also mentions that you can leave a message at the good article nominations talk page. Just tell them the situation and maybe one will have a look. If not you may just be stuck doing what you already did and keeping a new nomination. -- ZooBlazer^talk 23:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, but I frankly can't be bothered to do any course of action other than keep it in GAN. Mebigrouxboy (talk) 02:41, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Black War: Mission Exteme 2

Hello Mebigrouxboy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Black War: Mission Exteme 2 for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want Black War: Mission Exteme 2 to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
