Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Branxholm Tower.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you uploaded the same image twice: as Image:Branxholm Tower.jpg and also as Image:Lg 213-2.jpg. The latter copy of the file has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 03:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dover Beach

Thank you for the addition to the Dover Beach page. I was unaware of this echo of the poem. Mddietz (talk) 21:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's the basis for the NY Review of Books article "The Rattle of Pebbles"[1][2] by Jason Epstein, which in turn was the inspiration for his Book Business. My mother, who is in a nursing home now, recited the poem to me word-for-word, which sent me to your article. Zelchenko (talk) 04:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thelma Schoonmaker, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Schoonmaker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sparkline edits

Hi there. I appreciate your passion on the Sparkline article. When I say "poorly sourced" I do not mean that it's true or not, just that there is no source. If Edward Tufte has made statements about the inspiration for sparklines that can be cited per Wikipedia convention I would be happy to work with you to integrate them into the article as appropriate. Thomas Craven (talk) 14:51, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zelchenko. I see you've rolled back Sparkline again. Let's connect to discuss what's needed citation-wise and how to integrate Peter Zelchenko's contributions to the development of sparklines in an appropriate way. I'll add a section at the bottom of Talk:Sparkline and we can work through it there. I'd love to help add encyclopedic content with citations. I don't think the existing article meets Wikipedia's standards though, so we'll need to improve/reformat it. With a proper source, I'm sure that will be doable. Thomas Craven (talk) 14:14, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

→→ Apologies, editing again to add that I have just now seen your additions to my user page! I will dig in some more later, but it looks like there's a lot of notable stuff I can hopefully help find links for and add to appropriate articles. Many thanks!

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Theroadislong. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 16:46, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theroadislong I don't buy it. If I am offended by someone's snide and passive-aggressive remarks, I'm going to go ahead and let them know. It's very easy for an established persona to "look" cool when what they're doing is actually very offensive and hurtful. It's also very easy for you, as a cultural peer of his, to feel a subtle urge to protect him and minimize his faults while magnifying the faults of the outsider. You're not a police officer, and even if you were, your job would be to try to see both sides of the situation. Zelchenko (talk) 18:14, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Savage

Hello, Zelchenko. I don't have any problem with your helpful addition to Adam Savage, but I don't understand the need to insult Savage in the edit summary. The thing with a user-generated encyclopedia is that people will write about the things that interest them; if you think there should be an article about Whitney Lee Savage, you might like to write it yourself. Anyway, I've revision deleted your edit summary as a WP:BLP violation. Bishonen | tålk 09:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Fine. Morality police are all over Wikipedia. If it helps fulfill you in an otherwise uneventful career, then enjoy your fun. For the record, Adam Savage is a tireless self-promoter. Half of his product involves figuring out how to get a word in edgewise about his own relatively unspectacular accomplishments. Powerful people promote themselves without acknowledging how large of a leg up they actually had. When someone hires a ghostwriter to edit his Wikipedia page, he at least should ghostwrite in acknowledgment of how he got where he did. Zelchenko (talk) 00:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
