Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited King's Highway (ancient), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Transjordan. 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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Legio VI Ferrata may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello Danny
You requested a page move yesterday for the "Judea (tetrarchy)" page. That title was the result of an un-discussed move last week from the title "Tetrarchy (Judea)". What you said made perfect sense, but it seemed more logical to me just to revert the last page move, rather than go through the RM rignmarole, so I've done that. I've left an explanation here; if you feel this hasn't resolved your objection, please re-submit your RM, with my apologies. Regards, Moonraker12 (talk) 12:18, 30 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, User:Danny lost. I noticed where you reverted my correction of the date 70 CE and where I had written in its place 68 CE. I'll let your revert stand, although in Jewish belief and theology the date of 70 CE for the Second Temple's destruction is erroneous. Although the dating of the Second Temple's destruction is not mentioned by Sherira Gaon in his famous "Iggeres," the date of 68 CE is in fact mentioned by Rabbi Saadia Gaon (in his commentary on Daniel chapter 9), and by Maimonides (in his Questions & Responsa), who bring down the equivalent dates in anno mundi and/or the Seleucid Era counting, besides being a yearly tradition amongst all religious Jews to count the destruction of the Second Temple every Ninth of Av Fast day from 68 CE. I thought that it would be appropriate, in an article which treats on Jewish oral traditions and customs, to remain faithful to the Jewish belief and custom here, in spite of the fact that the date is disputed between Christians and Jews. - Davidbena (talk) 21:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I don't think trying to separate out "Music" in the way you did, and including it before "Career", is a good idea at all. It screws up the chronology. I'm not wedded to my suggestion, but I think it's more orthodox and reads better. I haven't changed any of the text itself, just reordered it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:49, 20 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the re. I'm totally pro-chronology, but then the music parag. can't be between 1st and 2nd albums. Moved it up now, as I don't think it can be broken up by period. trespassers william (talk) 14:02, 20 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand why, in this edit, you moved the description of his childhood back into a later paragraph, out of chronological sequence. Anyway, I've moved it back. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Danny lost, I have no interest in engaging in an editwar and reverting your re-introduction of the External Link to Tom Cheetham's website that, going by the similarity in user names he added himselfmore than once. I would ask that you consider that WP:ELYES says that Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons. emphasis mine. Since, as you pointed out, Cheetham's site is "Just resources", there are no copyright issues, and all sources can be integrated into the article. If the article can be improved using the sources listed on Cheethams website then we should improve the article in stead of linking to an external page. All the best Mduvekot (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Mduvekot:. Thanks for compromising. I believe the needs of readers and editors aren't that different. The materials on the site could be used as sources, but they have to be found first. The article is not going to change its face any day, so it's good to have them accessible for a while. In their form as critical essays, news stories and images they can be pasted into Wikipedia. trespassers william (talk) 10:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
