Coti K

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Coti K, doesn't conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles so it will shortly be removed, if it hasn't been already. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Specifically, it doesn't assert anything under music notability guidelines. Sasquatch t|c 17:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Jimmy Kudo, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 18:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Vaporizer (cannabis), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Seven Second Summits recent edits

Hello there. I had recently reverted one of your edits at Seven Second Summits[1]. In my edit summary, I explained that I had failed to find a source saying the summit of Ojos del Salado lies wholly within Chile. Funny thing is, I just so happen to run across this discussion at Talk:List of mountains by elevation dating way back to 2006.

In light of this discussion, it occured to me that you may be onto something. So I looked a little more and soon found this very reliable source[2] which states:

Ojos del Salado - 6905m, 27º06.589' 68º32.495' this was taken sitting right on the Argentine summit. The Chilean summit may or may not be about 50cm higher and is about 30-40m away to the West...

Interesting though not very definitive.

Then I found this[3] which discusses the issue in much greater detail, but sums up the whole thing with this conclusion and sentiment:

A recent survey has measured the west peak 54 (+/-5)cm higher, that's the one usually regarded as the "Chilean" peak. The talk about one Argentinian and one Chilean summit is nothing but nonsense as both are located right at the border.

Which is probably why the status quo here at Wikipedia is to simply regard the summit as lying on the border. I may look into this further and let you know if I find out any more. Just thought I owed you more of an explanation. Thank you. --Racerx11 (talk) 02:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

You're very welcome. My pleasure and I appreciate the kind words. --Racerx11 (talk) 22:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Fall of Efrafa albums

Hey there. Thanks for creating articles on the Fall of Efrafa albums. It's always good to see this sort of music better represented here! I'm wondering if you were thinking of expanding these with a bit more information on production and reception? There are some good sources out there, e.g. at Sputnikmusic, PunkNews.org etc. Take care, and keep up the good work! Moswento ^talky 10:21, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [4] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:38, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
