Um, how was Turing Scottish? — Matt Crypto 06:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my knowledge, his family was Scottish and he was born in Scotland but educated in England, and spent the remainder of his life in England. There is something of a Turing cult in Scotland, and there was for many years a Turing Centre in Glasgow. It is common to find all kinds of Scots-born people listed routinely as English, especially if the author or editor is American, and intends the meaning "British".

That said, I'm prefectly willing to accept that my information might be defective in that regard. If this is so, please accept my heartfelt apologies and feel free to revert the page to its former condition. I assure you I edited absolutely in good faith and meant no destructive intent whatever.

Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 17:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)^{talk to me}[reply]

I noticed that you added and removed (several times) a comment about the correct form of address for the Wardens at the talk page for Masonic Lodge Officers. Just so you know, I think we are dealing with another jurisdictional difference... in NY we never use "Worshipful" when addressing the Wardens by office ... even if the positions are filled by Past Masters. The officer is always addressed as Brother Junior/Senior Warden. The only office that is addressed with the title Worshipful is the Worshipful Master (your point about not referring to himself with worshipful is valid... the WM refers to himself without that word... as in "... but I, as Master of this lodge, do assure you that...")

Of course, things get more complicated if you are addressing the individual and not the office. For example, if the Junior Warden is a Past Master, he might be addressed as "Worshipful Brother Smith", or as "Brother Junior Warden" depending on whether he is being addressed as an individual or as the Junior Warden of the lodge.

In short... correct form and protocol is not always the same everywhere. Blueboar (talk) 16:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you added and removed (several times) a comment about the correct form of address for the Wardens

That was because, for some reason, my comment kept appearing in the next section, after the thread of comments I was referring to. I know what you're saying about jurisdiction-specific usage, and honestly I wasn't as ham-fisted to suppose I have all the answers.

Thanks anyway. S&F, Nuttyskin (talk) 15:58, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Nuttyskin! It is really cool to meet a SHARP-skin in Wiki. I have a whole summer to work on different Wiki articles and want to contribute (especially to ska and skinhead articles). Where from to start you advice me? (= --Nagasheus (talk) 10:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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 Northamerica1000. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Hogg (novel), because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Northamerica1000^(talk) 15:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Received from you on my talk page)
Thankyou so much for reverting my emendation to this page. I had initially attempted to correct an accidental link to a Disambiguation page ("Marquis de Sade" for "Sade"); but when I saved the emended page, more than half the content of the page had somehow been erased. I don't know how it happened, a glitch I suppose (or maybe my own inexperience); but unfortunately I was using a public library computer and my time was up, so I couldn't go back to set it right.

So, once again, thankyou. Nuttyskin (talk) 15:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heya,

I'm a reporter with The Outline, a news and culture site based in New York. I'm working on a story about a specific wikipedia page that you are the most recent editor on.

I was wonder if I could ask you a few questions for my story?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Masonic Order of Liberia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Taylor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 16:11, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Zoidberg are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Magic Mike, you may be blocked from editing. My inclination was to assume good faith here, but I see that last year alone you were warned twice about using Talk pages without making it clear how you wished to improve an article, and the content you added in this case was potentially offensive and once again lacked any clear indication of how you'd like to improve the article. Please be more careful going forward. DonIago (talk) 01:01, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is a one year moratorium on all discussions of the title of the article Kyiv. That moratorium will not expire until November 2021. Stop your edit warring at Talk:Kyiv. For one thing, ALL discussions of changing the article's name belong at Talk:Kyiv/naming. --TaivoLinguist (Taivo) (talk) 18:13, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nuttyskin; i've seen you asking the question twice at Talk:Kyiv. TaivoLinguist is quite right, there is a moratorium on the question currently, and you can see all the discussions at the link given (Talk:Kyiv/naming). That being said, i don't approve of the rather abrupt language, and think it could have been handled a bit more...personably. If you read the naming archive, however, you may understand why the frustration rose: Feelings were quite high during the most recent discussion, and there are a lot of editors who laid out a lot of assorted emotions. In the end, the article, for better or worse, is currently at Kyiv, and there's not a lot of point in rehashing the discussion; happy days, Lindsay^Hello 18:48, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
