The herald 15:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

FA congratulations
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Misplaced Pages. Atsme☯ 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Today's Featured Article: Notification
This is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Misplaced Pages Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. Brianboulton (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Precious
intrinsic beauty of sharing knowledge
Thank you, free at last, for quality articles such as American paddlefish and Gabor B. Racz, written with the background of experience and in the spirit that there's "something indescribable, yet intrinsically beautiful about sharing knowledge", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Sint Eustatius
What gives you the notion that the abbreviation is official and the full name is not? It most certainly is "Sint Eustatius", as the source I included indicates. It isn't at all incorrect to use the real name: see Sint Eustatius, for example.—Kww(talk) 02:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Kww, the government site is what we use for the formal names - see the cited ref. at Bonaire. We cannot mix the two languages - Dutch and English. Sint is Dutch for Saint. You are editing the English Misplaced Pages, so the word is Saint (abbr St). Hope that helps. Atsme☯ 02:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't help at all. You've chosen one web page as the basis for using a name, insisting that the normal name is somehow wrong. See http://www.government.nl/news/2013/07/13/prime-minister-rutte-visits-caribbean-part-of-the-kingdom.html http://www.government.nl/news/2013/02/01/new-deputy-member-of-the-joint-court-of-justice.html http://www.government.nl/government/documents-and-publications/press-releases/2010/10/08/judiciary-appointments-aruba-sint-maarten-and-the-bes-islands.html for example: same site, English language pages, official Kingdom documents.—Kww(talk) 02:33, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Incidentally, I am an English- and Dutch-speaking former resident of Bonaire that still has business holdings in the Caribbean Netherlands. There's no need to "educate" me on the meaning of "Sint".—Kww(talk) 02:36, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
