== Misplaced Pages Ambassador sweatshirt ==

Hi! This is the last call for signing on for a Misplaced Pages Ambassador hooded sweatshirt (in case you missed the earlier message in one of the program newsletters about it). If you would like one, please email me with your name, mailing address, and (US) sweatshirt size. We have a limited number left, so it will be first-come, first-served. (If more than one size would work for you, note that as well.)

Cheers,

== Nicobar Pigeon ==

Hello, would you confused ] = ] and ] = ]? In fact, in french ''Nicobar'' is a vernacular name for birds such some ''doves'' and ''pigeons'', and not only a name for the islands where those birds can be found. Thereby a ''Nicobar ponctué'' would be a ''Punctuated Pigeon'' ;) ] (]) 21:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shyamal. Since you created ], perhaps you could take a look at recent edits (improvements) made to the article by {{no ping|MalborkHistorian}}. I believe the changes were made in good faith, but a lot of the new content is unsourced and introduces various ] problems. The quick-and-easy solution would be to revert it all and label it all as unconstructive and perhaps even warn Malbork Historian as such, but maybe some of the stuff that added can be kept. The images that were added having various issue that are going to take some sorting out, but the text content that was add, perhaps, just needs some tweaking or can be surgically removed. Given that this seems to be a topic that really interests MalborkHistorian, perhaps the article's talk page could be used to fill them in regarding any problems you might find with their changes. -- ] (]) 20:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

== ANI (which really should have been an AN) notice ==
I disagree with this approach to the {{tl|cite doi}} template system, which is all about making complex citations more maintainable by keeping them separate and by seeking to share them between multiple articles. On a practical level, you should have subst'd instead of simply switching to {{tl|cite journal}} and having the bot flesh them out because the bot misses stuff that I had manually migrated into the templates, such as links to free copies of the papers and the repair of outright errors.

You seem to be responsible for a great many of the bird articles here, and I'm not specifically focused on such articles other than short-term. I was going to do the last seven inline cites that remain in ] ("In the Indian subcontinent"), but I'll leave this field to you. fwiw, Cas, who you must know, liked the "]". ] (]) 05:29, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Ferdinand Schulz

Hi Shyamal. Since you created Ferdinand Schulz, perhaps you could take a look at recent edits (improvements) made to the article by MalborkHistorian. I believe the changes were made in good faith, but a lot of the new content is unsourced and introduces various MOS:MOS problems. The quick-and-easy solution would be to revert it all and label it all as unconstructive and perhaps even warn Malbork Historian as such, but maybe some of the stuff that added can be kept. The images that were added having various issue that are going to take some sorting out, but the text content that was add, perhaps, just needs some tweaking or can be surgically removed. Given that this seems to be a topic that really interests MalborkHistorian, perhaps the article's talk page could be used to fill them in regarding any problems you might find with their changes. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
