Water purification[edit]

Thank you for your edits on Water purification additional input is nearly always valuable. However, a number of your edits seem to reflect the position in the USA which is not necessarily the position elsewhere in the world. An example is your re-editing of the classification of waters - the classification you have put forward is very USA centric and is supported by US published texts. There is no problem with using examples from the USA but it does need to be balanced with examples from elsewhere and we do need to ensure that the article remains balanced in a world-wide view. Thanks Velella ^{Velella Talk} 08:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm! You are right. Those were USA centric comments. Lowland and upland designations seem to be more world-wide based on early usage in England that spread to the continent and other countries. The terminology is not understood in the U.S. I think that your edit captures the differences and informs the reader. As you can tell, I am a new participant and I am willing to learn. Thank you.

Efficiency[edit]

You're doing some damn good work here, and I'd like to suggest that you bypass the AfC process from now on. Just create the articles directly in mainspace. DS (talk) 11:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diana Gould[edit]

Hi, thanks for the message. I took another look at the article, and removed most of the templates. Good work on that one. The only one I've left is {{notability}}, because I'm still not sure whether she meets our notability guideline for people; I'll leave that for others to consider. I've also added some categories based on the text of the article, feel free to change them if you think anything's wrong. Robofish (talk) 13:08, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The categories look good to me. Thanks. Drinkingwaterdoc (talk) 20:15, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Clemens Herschel[edit]

On 23 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Clemens Herschel, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that while travelling in Italy in 1898, American hydraulic engineer Clemens Herschel found an ancient manuscript about the water system of Rome, and translated and published it in English? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clemens Herschel. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

User:Drinkingwaterdoc/sandbox[edit]

Hi there, I removed the square brackets around the categories in User:Drinkingwaterdoc/sandbox because they were making it appear in the article space categories diff. User drafts aren't supposed to appear in those categories. Please just add the square brackets back when you move it to the mainspace. Kind regards, James086 ^Talk 13:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah Ha! Now I understand. Makes sense. Thank you. Drinkingwaterdoc (talk) 17:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 21[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael J. McGuire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Research Council (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
