Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for adding so many links to articles I'd created from the DNB. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 09:18, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Likewise for the Harold Barnwell article. Shipsview (talk) 21:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Red Sea
I notice you do a lot of red links. I understand the purpose is to encourage an article one day. But isn't too many red links - how to put it, indecorous? Slightsmile (talk) 01:52, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi it's me again. Doesn't Ephraim Stern still need a ton of wikifying work? The Layout is a disaster. Wikifying isn't just adding links, but lots of things. Slightsmile (talk) 00:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Red links in album articles
I have a request. Could you not add red links to the song titles in a track listing for an album, such as you did in Hawaii (album). Per WP:NSONGS, "most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article" so it is quite unlikely that articles will ever be created for them, making red links completely unnecessary in these cases. Also, some of the links point to other non-related articles due to an ambiguous title, which is not helpful to the article. Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 04:43, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Red links to book articles
Hi. I noticed all the red links you put into Roberta Gellis with this edit [1]. Please can you not create so many red links (as others have requested above). Also, those book links that aren't red are wrong links (i.e. links to DAB pages, or wrong articles). I have reverted your edit and merged the good links in the header. Widefox (talk) 08:36, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
March 2011
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Roberta Gellis, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. and other articles (e.g. Maximum allowable operating pressure), where a link was created without checking that it is a redirect to itself. Please slow down adding links, as it is generating a lot of extra effort to fix wrong links, remove excessive red links etc, as mentioned above. Widefox (talk) 09:44, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Capa vehicle, deadends and circular links
I notice that you made several more links to Capa vehicle after I (accidently) included the {{deadend}}
parameter to {{multiple issues}}
. The article clearly had many links already, including many redlinks. You should therefore have queried the {{deadend}}
(eg by checking the article's talk page, edit history, or with the user who added it), rather than just adding more.
A check at the article's talk page (Talk:Capa vehicle) in this case might have shown it was possibly added by accident with all the others.
The only link I've unlinked is the circular link to Capabus, which redirects back to the same article (see WP:OVERLINK). Tim PF (talk) 00:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Interal Link Queen
With all the power invested in me (which is none, sadly), I now pronounce you the Internal Link Queen!
I just wanted to say that, in my opinion, your name is synonymous with quickly and accurately adding internal links to pages. There are very few Wikipedia wide tasks that are synonymous with a username but you and internal links have cemented that association in my mind. I've never been into Barnstars but if there was one to give you, I'd give it. Keep up the good work! OlYellerTalktome 22:39, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the links
Hey Just wanted to thank you for adding some links to the Broken Mammoth site page. Nerwen Aldarion (talk) 04:31, 9 April 2011 (UTC)Nerwen Aldarion
Speedy deletion declined: List of parks in Pittsburgh
I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on List of parks in Pittsburgh, as the given deletion rationale was A3, but there was indeed content on that page. Apparently it was a redirect to Category:Parks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and at some point a bot edit broke the redirect. I have reinstated the redirect. —KuyaBriBriTalk 13:59, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the help
I just wanted to thank you for adding links to the Induced Pluripotent Cells Cure Disease article. It's a group project for my college bioengineering class and none of us are really familiar with editing wiki. So this is just a huge thank you from me and my teammates!

Nice catch
Why didn't any of the others that had done tidying up on The Beast spot that it was a load of old shoe repairers? Makes a nice change to delete something for you that isn't a dry bit of housekeeping. (If I see your name, I know I don't have to worry over much about deleting something.) As hoaxes go, that obviously wasn't bad - it had been up since February. Equally obviously, it wasn't good enough to fool thee and me..... I've just been inspired by your userpage to add a new Non-Boxy Thing to mine. (That's things there aren't userboxes for yet.) Keep up the good work. Peridon (talk) 20:28, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Glossary of card games
Hi, thanks for working on Glossary of card games. Unfortunately I made a mistake with that: I meant to create this in user space and take my time completing it before moving it to main space, as I usually do. Now that I have become aware of the mistake I moved it to my user space at User:Hans Adler/Glossary of card games and proposed the resulting redirect for deletion. I hope that's OK with you.

CSD notification
The page Frat Life Productions looks like it may be a valid CSD, but I prefer not to delete a page unless the creator has been notified.

Your RfA
Hi, since you've withdrawn your candidacy, I've closed you RfA. If I may say so, your withdrawal seemed very speedy and it would be wise not to consider four comments to be a complete cross-section of community opinion. Not having bumped into you until now, I honestly don't know how you would have fared had it stayed open longer. If you decide, down the line somewhere, that you would be more useful to the project with a few extra buttons, then it might be worth looking at some recent successful RfAs to get a feel for what's expected of a candidate during an RfA. I may be overstepping my bounds here, but I would also suggest that, if you choose to have another editor nominate you, it's usually best (with no disrespect to your nominator) to pick somebody who is well known and experienced at RfA. Anyway, I do hope your brief RfA hasn't left a bitter taste in your mouth—RfA can be tough, but many of the project's best editors are not administrators, so you shouldn't see it as a reflection on you as an editor. If you need anything, my (metaphorical) door is always open. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:16, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed as one of the oppose commenters, I was surprised to see you withdraw so soon. I feel that with some project space experience under your belt that you'll make a good admin in the future, if you want to. Hang around one or two of the XfD pages and give your opinions. RfD can always use more eyes, AfD and the administrators' noticeboards are good places to see wide range of wikilife. Also, I note you're in London - you'd be more than welcome to come along to the meetup in Holborn this afternoon if you're interested. They're primarily social events but they are good ways to meet other Wikipedians. Thryduulf (talk) 09:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- (from my talk) Sorry that link should be m:Meetup/London/45, a typo my part. I understand about saving money! Thryduulf (talk) 11:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I was surprised to see that I missed an RfA from you! While it's a shame you withdrew so soon, I understand your reasons why, and I'm sure that you'll make a good admin someday if you choose to run again: you can count on my support. Best. Acalamari 10:08, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Account creation request
I have requested an account on the ACC account creation interface. Katharineamy (talk) 22:04, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- Katharineamy thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. I have approved your request so welcome to the team. You may now access the tool here. Before you do so, please read the tool's guide thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the process.
- You may also want to join #wikipedia-en-accounts on IRC where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and to get any advice on requests as well as the mailing list. Please note that we have implemented a policy of zero tolerance on mishandled requests, and that failure to assess correctly will result in suspension. I would like to emphasize that it is not a race to complete a request, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly.
- Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day, although you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked "Account Creator Needed" by the bot and "Flagged user needed" in the tool. However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM.
- Please keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse will result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome!

Uncat and Catimprove
Do you only do {{uncategorized}}
or also {{catimprove}}
? Regards, SunCreator (talk) 19:05, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, yes, the situation is I'm checking newly created articles for unreferenced BLP's(bio of living person), to help the searching it's using some automatic tools that use the categories, either the lack of them, living person, year of birth, year of death. When I find a uncategories bio and the person is dead, i.e Lau Bun,Angelo Messedaglia,Syed Mohsin Nawab Rizvi I've added a year of death so it no longer can be considered a BLP. The downside is that by adding one category I can then only mark it
{{catimprove}}
, which in turn may mean that it doesn't get categoried correctly for some time. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 19:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Katharineamy:
I just visited my Wikipedia page (David Scott Milton), which has been in existence for I don't know how long, a couple of years I suspect. (Just checked. It's four years) I found that the page has been essentially deleted. It now says this: "This article is an autobiography, or has been extensively edited by the subject or an institution related to the subject, and may not conform to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy." In looking at the history of what was left of the article I found your edit of the article. I'm not sure if you designated the article as autobiography or not-- I am essentially illiterate in these computer matters. Perhaps you can help me.
The article is certainly not an autobiography. I have no idea how one even enters a Wikipedia article or writes a Wikipedia article. It says that the article has been extensively edited by the subject or an institution related to the subject and may not conform to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Again, I have never edited anything concerning me & have no idea how one even does that. As far as an "institution related to the subject"... again, I am not a member of any institution that would have a reason for writing about me. I've always assumed that I was in Wikipedia because of my accomplishments as a writer and actor, six novels, play on Broadway, awards, etc. It's embarassing to think that people are looking me up on Wikipedia and being told that I have written my own entry! Who on earth came to this conclusion? How can I demonstrate that this is not so? I don't want to appear paranoid but it seems as though someone with an axe to grind with me has purposely set about to embarrass me.
I hope I'm not jumping to loopy conclusions, but this is all very unsettling. Can you tell me how I can resolve this? Again, I am virtually illiterate when it comes to technology and computers. Please explain to me in the clearest, simplest language what I must do and how this came about. Were you the editor who designated my article as "autobiography" or was it someone else? Who should I contact? What should I do?

Random survey
Hi, This is a random survey regarding the first sentence on the Wikipedia policy page Verifiability.
- "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
In your own words, what does this mean? Thank you. Regards, Bob K31416 (talk) 01:11, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Katharineamy! I just wanted to let you know, when you need to categorize a disambiguation page, you should do so by adding the {{disambig}} template to the page, instead of the category directly. The template adds the category for you. Thanks! --JaGatalk 03:26, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
FYI
All that's being done to the disambig pages right now is because an article on various 9/11 memorials already exists. | helpdןǝɥ | 17:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

George Butterworth (psychologist)
Hi there. I've just cleaned up George Butterworth (psychologist), which was an article contributed by a new user using the Article Creation Wizard. However, the text submitted was copied from the source provided, which is a problem (I've just deleted the revisions that are copyright violations, and left the original editor a note). I'm also leaving notes with those who edited the article since its creation, as I want to try and work out what went wrong here. I've been told there was a big backlog at new pages patrol in September and October (may still be one for all I know), so maybe that was it. You did work on categorising and wikilinking the article, but the article text itself was obviously a copyright violation (it was written in the first person). Also, you marked the article as a living person with birth year missing, but it was not too difficult to find his obituary and birth and death year, which I've now added. Others should have spotted this as well, but could I ask that you look more closely at new articles that you work on to make sure this sort of thing gets caught earlier in future? Thanks.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

About the disambig notification
Hi, I'm the creator of DPL bot, which just left the message above. I want to apologize for it and offer a solution. The message is intended as a service to people writing articles, not people doing maintenance work like yourself. I don't want you to think you're expected to fix dablinks on top of your wikilinking work.
The solution is to put a template anywhere on your talk page that tells DPL bot not to leave messages for you. Here's the syntax:
- {{bots|deny=DPL bot}}
Another thing you might be interested in is Anomie's Link classifier, which gives you a tab you can use to color-code wikilinks by type (redirect, up for deletion, disambig, etc.)

ground noise
thanks for touching/editing the page I posted. I could not help but notice a few postings about the article, including "it reads like a student essay" and "does not cite references". Well, I suppose that is because I am aware of no references. These facts I learned after attending electronics school and working in the field for many years. There are no references that I am aware of (NEW information?). "reads like an essay", well, it IS an essay! Perhaps you know of an EE professor who would like to chime in?.. maybe not.. I am aware of at least several EE professors who have desigend and built (even sent into production designs of) equipment who were apparently unaware of these things. thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.78.199.134 (talk) 05:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Your Edit of Mitsuo Aoki article:
Hi Katharine. Thank you for your edit/improvement of the article I drafted on Mitsuo Aoki. He is a well-known theologian, and we are looking to improve it. Just today we received a request for information from someone who's doing another article on him, and when that's finished we'll link it too.
You might enjoy a project I'm doing other than on Wikipedia. It's at www.montereybaybotanicalgarden.com. If you want to email me, there's a Contact Us page, and send your email c/o Oldnoah, and it will get to me. I haven't been to London since 1968, which I believe was a few years (like maybe 17!) before your time, but I'm sure the City hasn't lost its charm.

Categories on templates
Hi,
Thanks for categorising {{Incat catamarans}}. However, in this edit you removed the noinclude tags, which meant that every page that the template was transcluded on was added to Category:Wikipedia templates. Obviously it's onyl the template itself which belongs in that category, so the cat should be placed within noinclude tags. I've gone and done that now, along with adding some more precise categorisation (which I suppose I should have done at the time). Anyway, just a heads-up for the future. Cheers.

- The previous statement cites no sources, and as far as I can tell there is no reputable source that makes this synonymy. The Plant List has it as a synonym of Agathophyllum persoonianum Blume, but the circumscription of that species is still not entirely resolved, so any changes would be premature. I am therefore reverting the redirect to Ocotea foetens. Ocotea (talk) 00:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
