Psychologie Barnstar

		The Psychology Barnstar
		For your impressively comprehensive work on The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, its 20+ volumes, its editor Gerhard Adler, and its hardworking translator R. F. C. Hull, groupuscule hereby awards you this symbolic (Gestaltist-inspired, perhaps archetypally ambiguous) token of appreciation. Thank you for your efforts and your contributions to world knowledge. groupuscule (talk) 19:42, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jared Taylor and misleading edit summaries

You seem to know your way around Wikipedia, so surely you know at this point that misleading edit summaries are frowned upon. With this edit, you removed the term "white nationalist", even though that's how the subject of the article is described in numerous sources, and in fact, is the main reason he's notable enough to merit his own article in Wikipedia. But in your edit summary, you simple wrote "badly worded." That's not helpful, and could be construed as you trying to mask the real effect of your edit, which was to remove what, in your opinion, is a pejorative term, but is actually how Jared Taylor is described first and foremost.

Lou's Wolf

MCEllis has given you a Wolf! Wolves promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Wolves must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion and protecter forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a wolf, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Hi Lou Sander, you were right to question the removal of an important citation, in the end things were resolved and realized everyone had good intentions. Thanks for being on the lookout. --MCEllis (talk) 03:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spread the goodness of wolves by adding {{subst:Wolf}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Invitation: Edit-a-thon

Hi Lou Sander, I'd like to invite you to an upcoming Pittsburgh Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. We'd love the support of some awesome, experienced Wikpedians. We hope you can join us March 5. More deets on our Meetup Page. Please let me know if you have questions! Aolivex (talk) 17:48, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Naulakha

I was quite interested to see the pictures while doing Commons patrol - I'd never known that Kipling lived in the US. (And I was just up that way a couple of years ago - had we but known it was in the neighborhood we might have made a trip to see it.)

To your point about the map; I'm not sure there's a good way to resize it. It's a problem I've run into with a number of the "vertical" states, if you will - like Delaware or New Hampshire, for instance - that their thumbnail maps take up rather a lot of space. I'll play around a bit with the maps and see if anything can be done. It might also be worth leaving a note over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places; they probably have more/better answers than I.

Keep up the good work, and happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. I may take you up on that this evening, once I have a moment. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The NRHP guys gave me a parameter |map_width= that fixed things nicely, as you can see if you look at the article. Lou Sander (talk) 01:35, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VPB and VP squadrons

I have done up to VPB-199, leaving you to do VPB-200 to 216 and among the active squadrons VP-40 to 69, which should give you your 17 pages. Let me know if you're not going to do the VPBs as I will then finish them myself. regards Mztourist (talk) 05:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was wondering if you're going to do VPB 200-216 or if I should do them myself? Regards Mztourist (talk) 06:01, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking. Go ahead and do them. I just can't find the time. Lou Sander (talk) 06:50, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Posit Science Corporation

Hello Lou Sander,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Posit Science Corporation for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Meiloorun (talk) 🍁 19:11, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you on notable contributors in Ancient Aliens - so have added it in,.

Hello, I agree with your comments on the talk page of ancient aliens so have put in 'notable contribtors' under 'critical reception' as they were higher profile than those providing the critique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.198.172.70 (talk) 19:49, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Service award for article creation

You are one of a tiny number of editors selected at random from those who have created a good number of articles. There is some preliminary discussion about creating an award for article creation, and your input would be helpful. See the discussion HERE. The posts toward the end are the most germane.

Greetings I am here to report the misconduct of transportation management in East Africa especially Uganda. Bollore Logistics is a leading African clearing and forwarding company that clears almost 90% of the goods imported in Africa and 70% of the Cargo exported out of Africa. So in this case Bollore has a lot of cargo to transport and this should be a profit to the company, but it's very unfortunate that the people in transport management chose to freeze Bollore trucks from carrying cargo and they give the cargo to private transporters. Mr. Anthony Small the operations manager Uganda / Southern Sudan is the man trying to breakdown transport and logistics in Bollore so that he can benefit from hired transporters. Unfortunately he informs our superiors in France that transport in Bollore doesn't work, but this all a lie, he is creating away to make his own money out of transport by hiring cheap transporters. This is my personal email address ltalemwa03@gmail.com and i am writing to notify our superiors about the situation in transport section in East Africa. For any further information in regards to this information, please I am available on this and my mobile number (+254-780-726-756). Thank you very much Bishop kenana (talk) 10:09, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive squadrons

Thanks for creating the article and providing an excellent start. It is a topic of great interest to me and I am thoroughly enjoying learning more about the history of individual Navy squadrons every time I do some editing. I completed a 30 year career as a Naval Aviator a few years ago and I love the subject. Though I do have a good understanding of the history of Naval Aviation, my understanding of the wikipedia editing process is rudimentary. Updating information and including references is something I have figured out, but external links sections and volume table of contents pages are beyond my understanding.Navalaviator84 (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Navalaviator84: I replied to this on your talk page. Doing that keeps the whole thread together. Lou Sander (talk) 17:24, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:TheShadowComic01.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:TheShadowComic01.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

Hello. Your recent edit to Gulf Breeze High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Gab4gab (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finishing up the Gwendolyn Oxenham article right now. Be assured that she is notable and that the article will stand. You can see it in process HERE. Now was a good time to add her to the GBHS article, before I forget. Now that you have reverted it so quickly, I have to remember it again. Bummer.

Non-free rationale for File:NoxBaileyShield.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NoxBaileyShield.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
