On 17 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gulf Coast Lines, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1903, Benjamin Franklin Yoakum began building the Gulf Coast Lines in southern Texas as a link in a projected transcontinental railroad system stretching from Chicago to Mexico? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hello, Textorus. I wanted to let you know that I have tagged one of your contributions to Thomas John Barnardo as a potential copyright problem.

Barnardo is not a topic of great interest to me, and I think my edits last June on his page were merely to correct some glaring error or omission I happeneed to notice. I didn't think the quote was too long, but if you do, it can easily be removed and paraphrased by saying something like "he was a devout member of the Plymouth Brethren as a young man, with a strong commitment to social work, for which his church sent him to London to be trained." Which I would do, but as I see you are already in process of rewriting the article, do what you like with it.

Thank you. To be honest, I'm not certain the excerpt is too long, which is why I tagged it so someone with more experience of copyright would take a look and give an opinion. If a rewrite is necessary, I'm happy to do it.

Hello, I have noticed you made edits on File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg and/or File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg/Archive 5, so I am contacting you to take part in a newly-formed discussion at File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg as for whether we should update the map directly when a new legislation or court-order hits the books or if we should wait until said action takes effect. Historically, we have been updating the map when the new legislation is signed (or veto overrode or won at the ballot box, etc.), and thus it can be inferred that the consensus is to update as soon as one of those occurs. A discussion has emerged in regards to whether we should begin updating from the effective date instead of from the date of signing/etc. If you have an opinion over this matter please post it at File_talk:Samesex_marriage_in_USA.svg#When_to_update_map.3F_Effective_date_or_signing.2Fruling_date

Just a heads up that I revamped your recent edit to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad article. You were correct that the SAL into Fort Myers and Naples was not abandoned in 1933, although the cited Prince book expressly states that it was. (Indeed, the 1936 Florida map alongside this section of the article shows the extension still there.) However, a 27-mile section of the Fort Myers-Naples extension between South Fort Myers and Naples was in fact abandoned by the SAL in 1942, according to this passage by Gregg Turner in his Railroads of Southwest Florida book. A look at the map of the SAL in the 1952 Official Guide confirms that its gone by this time. The line that you indicate was still extant at the time of the SCL merger in 1967 was the ACL's parallel line into Naples -- not the SAL's by then long abandoned line.

I explained at ANI, but wanted to drop a more personal note here as I respect your concerns. If I offended you, please understand that it wasn't my intent. My tone in reply was meant to be tongue in cheek, just suggesting that we approach him on his talk page with more gentle reminders about guidelines. I had already done the same thing by leaving him a note. I asked, but no one could explain how his edits could only be in bad faith. Many good, experienced and responsible editors like yourself start out here by dabbling, like this editor. It was an attempt to inject a little humor into a situation that itself wasn't dire, and I had thought the faux British overtones such as "in front of god and the Queen" and the obviously overkill links to capital punishment and the stocks would have shown I was only saying the situation would benefit from a soft touch, rather than an admin's toolbox. But I wasn't trying to spank you, just suggest that leaving a personal note first is often a better solution than ANI. Sometimes I forget that others might not be comfortable dropping personal notes on other editor's talk pages, which is my own shortcoming. Regardless, it wasn't my intention to offend you or diminish your contributions here, and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

"Grr" is just an abbreviation save time instead of writing out "I fixed the misplaced semicolon," etc. Not to be taken too seriously. Though I did spot a few other errors after I made that correction, like "to much of a load" and "less that desirable," etc., so you might want to give it a good proofread. Just sayin'.

Thank you for nice comment on the article. I'll take a look.

As you know, when editors copy edit this material there are so many difficulties. We've seen it before, so we don't have fresh eyes. One has to look at matters of form and wiki markup. And we dno't see waht is really three, our brian confabulates the rest. There is serious multitasking in article creation.

The GRR growl is potentially easily misunderstood. I didn't get real excited about it, in part because I try to always take a look at who the editor is (user pages and edit history say a lot -- newbies might not be that thorough). But as we type instead of talk, we lose all of the nonverbal cues inherent in most human communication. We've seen lots of misunderstanding amongst our editors of late, and that is part of it. And of course, this is our first (that I remember) encounter, so we have no history and no implicit understanding, other than the general admonitions (e.g., WP:AGF). It was a pleasure chatting with you.

Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:06, 27 October 2012 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-10-27T11:06:00.000Z","author":"7&6=thirteen","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-7&6=thirteen-2012-10-27T11:06:00.000Z-Textorus-2012-10-27T02:50:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Whilst I don't object to this edit that you made to Mediterranean Sea, I should point out that since the article is written in British English, it is not correct to say that "orientated" is a misspelling.

Hello!

I wanted you to know I reverted your comma edit to Prop 8 moving a comma inside the quotation marks. I am sure you will be surprised to hear this, but actually MOS:LQ, which has our rules about punctuation, only allows punctuation inside quotation marks if the punctuation was present in the original text. Because the referenced article used a period, not a comma, it did belong outside after all.

Hey Textorus. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks!
