{{clear}}
Sandy, do you know of a way to stop Zeraeph from going on a "blanking rage" on the alexithymia page? I deleted an unreferenced sentence of his (the contentious one) and in return Zeraeph is blanking huge portions of the reference paragraphs as "not fully referenced". Is there some rule against that kind of blanking frenzy, or is it a matter of following him and restoring each point he blanks?

I understand. Maybe Zeraeph was going through something personal. I won't conjecture more but will say I'm pleased that the article was locked from further blanking. BTW, I note that Zeraeph has a problem with the way the references/citations are written, which may account for the blanking. I thought you had fixed most of that? Anyways, I've got nothing more to add to that article, and I think its in pretty good shape.... certainly the most comprehensive and well-referenced effort for that entry to date. Thanks again for all your tidying, I hope your work remains intact. I'm drifting away from that entry now too, to work on more productive projects. ] 04:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Request for input

Sandy, I know you're quite busy, but I was wondering if you could spare the time sometime to look over Talk:Landis's Missouri Battery#Revamping.

Hello again

Hello again. Apologies for leaving this random message, especially since I know you are more semi-retired on here, but I just wanted to say that I hope you are doing well and having a great end of the year! I just wanted to send some kind words your way. Aoba47 (talk) 17:59, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Just popping by to echo Aoba47's sentiment. I'm glad to see you're around here and there, and I hope I continue seeing you around. Wishing you and your family all the best for 2025, leaving behind what sounds like it has been a challenging 2024. Ajpolino (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Ajpolino! I am around as I'm able, but I'm not anticipating that 2025 will be any less challenging than 2024. It is wonderful to hear from you, and when/if I next get a breather, I will send you an email to update you on my absence. All the best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:23, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Aoba47 it is always so nice to hear from you. This year has been quite rough for me, and your random words of kindness always bring good cheer. I hope the coming year is kind to you! Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to hear that your year has been rough, but I am glad that I am able to help in any small way. Your words do the same for me. I am trying my best to remain optimistic and focused about the future. Just keeping my attention on things that I can control and ideally improve. It is always great to hear from you as well.
