No, I think you know far more than I do, I've very much enjoyed your extremely thorough updates. Just from Burke's Peerage. Apologies, I thought Burke's had already been referenced. I've added a footnote now. It comes from the entry on the Lawrence family - I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the exact wording, as it's copyrighted - but it provides an overview of the family's lineage. I hope that's enough. (Is this the right place for me to be posting this? I'm fairly new to Talk Pages - should I have replied on my own page?) Phettyplace (talk) 4:10am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Fantastic, thanks. I thought that made sense - I wasn't too confident you'd be watching my talk page! Phettyplace (talk) 11:36am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I see you're still active at Simple—good! I've been working on a large project to replace a complex series of {{convert}} templates with an even more complex Module:Convert. That has taken me to Simple where I noticed your dismay concerning a trolling page created by one of the trolls thrown out of en.wiki. We have to take the good with the bad, I guess.

Anyway, I wonder if you feel like commenting at Talk:Mimicry#Why is there a paragraph on Camouflage in the lead?. No need to bother if you don't feel like being drawn into more of the same, but it may be of interest. Johnuniq (talk) 22:56, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I’m contacting you because you are a participant in WikiProject Dance. Myself and another editor, User:Mwacha are interested in developing some notability guidelines on WikiProject Dance for dancers, dance critics, performers, and other genre articles as there is no such thing at the moment comparable to what I have heard other editors use for Visual Arts, IE “if they are collected in a major museum, then they are considered notable.” There are of course exceptions to this standard but it is nice to have a rule of thumb to help with AfD, and other moderated discussions. We hope to start this discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance under Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance#Notability Guidelines.OR drohowa (talk) 18:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you get the quote from Julian Huxley "The uniqueness of man"? You obviously didn't copy it from the writing of Huxley himself, as the quote is both edited and out of context. You should not make references to first hand sources when you copy quotes from second hand sources. Unfortunately this misquote is spreading as an anti-Huxley, anti-evolution, anti-Humanism, anti-skepticism meme. I have entered the quote in its entirely on the Huxley page, as well as explained some of its context. You can find the entire book here to see for yourself what Huxley actually thought.
