Mimagoniates microlepisThanks for adding the taxobox to Mimagoniates microlepis. I got lazy but hoped someone would add it and you did. Likewise thanks for cleaning up the refs.

I've just finished up all the suggestions from the peer review, and I'm looking for any further guidance. Could you give it a once-over or share any of your thoughts with me? Thanks. • Freechild'sup? 22:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
E1b1b articleHi, we haven't seen anything from you on the talk page. We had a bit of third party observation which helped a lot, but it stopped pretty quickly and the strange discussions are there again. We need another perspective.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC) Well, the mediation banner has been there so long without anything happening now, that I wonder if that should be closed off? It might just be chasing away potential editors now. The article has improved in the meantime, but it would have been helpful to have a third party on some issues at the time the discussions got out of balance.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lincoln-NE-seal-gold.gif)

This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled. On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript.

In the UK, the term "independent cinema" usually (as far as I know, always) refers to a movie theatre, not to movie production. Do you feel the redirect should be changed to point to Independent Cinema in the United Kingdom or do you think a disambiguation page is required? Tesspub (talk) 08:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC) Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject NebraskaIt was recently suggested that WikiProject Nebraska, to which you are a member, may be inactive or semi-active and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --Kumioko (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2011 (UTC) Please review the map, the work of Tofanelli et al, Hassan et al, and comment in the discussions: September 2011 Newsletter for WikiProject United States![]() The September 2011 issue of the WikiProject United States newsletter has been published.
