Hi, I see you're a member of WP:Anthropology, would you be interested in joining a sub project on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 13:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the invite, Kowal. But the sub-topic is too abstruse for me. – S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC) – S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. If you’re sort of interested, there’s a section on the page which has sources for people interested but unfamiliar but no worries if not Kowal2701 (talk) 07:37, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've added a birth year to the short description of Femke Bol, but WP:SDSHORT indicates short descriptions should be short. In this case the birth year is not necessary for disambiguation, so I believe it should be omitted. – Editør (talk) 10:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) "Dutch hurdler and sprinter (born 2000)" is 39 characters, which is short. It is better to add short descriptions to articles that do not have them than to bicker over perfectly good existing descriptions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:49, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that she's a current spinter is important. WP:SDDATES encourages them. – S. Rich (talk) 16:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving article quality in August! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you effectively manually reverted my edit to the "Battle of Winchelsea" article. While I regret this, I principally want to point out that in doing so you violated WP:SECTIONHEAD by reinstating the second of the two "Sources" section headers (point one: "Be unique within a page, so that section links lead to the right place."). Would you please be so kind as to re-disambiguate them, i.e. rename one of them? —DocWatson42 (talk) 15:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit of Life and Times of Frederick Douglass at 04:59, 15 September 2024, capitalized "Douglass" but did not capitalize any other word in the title, including "Frederick." Is that correct? It makes no sense to me. In fact, putting titles in lower case, as so many Wikipedia editors do in footnotes, makes no sense to me. Maurice Magnus (talk) 11:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
