Scout troop article

I read it over and enjoyed it. Well done. I didn't see any issues, and I looked too!--Wehwalt (talk) 17:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why thank you for the review. It must be in good shape if you didn't find issues. I'm going to give it some final looks.PumpkinSky talk 22:19, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not really try to focus on the prose, so you might want to check that. No problem.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tweaked a word here and there. — Ched : ? 23:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1-will do now, 2-no, someone sent me the JSTOR PDFs. PumpkinSky talk 23:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Easter egg tree

On 19 April 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Easter egg tree, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Easter egg tree (pictured) in Saalfeld, Thuringia, was decorated with 10,000 Easter eggs in 2012? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Easter egg tree.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.

Excellent! It's also featured on Portal:Germany. If you have more DYK related to Germany, please feel free to add it there yourself. - Different topic: do you know enough about Too Young the Hero to see if a recent change makes sense? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see the sense of the one made today.PumpkinSky talk 18:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Put your eggs in this nest ;) and Heck in a user page, please. I found the following three comments on my talk, you deserve them, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that tree!!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent work - congratulations! :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:53, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Easter Egg tree is particularly lovely. Nice work. Khazar2 (talk) 14:06, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parking lot mother Canada Goose

I thought this was really interesting, a nesting goose in a parking lot, so I took the photo. The two parking spots beside her have been marked off. Parts of two eggs are visible near her rump.PumpkinSky talk 23:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty awesome! :D Jesse V. (talk) 06:45, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Go mama goose! Montanabw^(talk) 17:48, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Goslings hatched last night or this am as this afternoon mom and babies were gone. Not sure if they were on walk and coming back or if they moved permanently.PumpkinSky talk 20:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for water maybe.... and wonder where the poppa is. Canada Geese mate for life, and don't take new mates even if one or the other is killed. Thanks for the great photo.(olive (talk) 20:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Glad you like it. Haven't seen the dad at all. I should start a blog "the parking lot geese".PumpkinSky talk 20:27, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Today I saw the dad and one gosling walking in the parking lot with mom. Two eggs hatched so something happened to one gosling, sadly. Mom builds a nest in this spot every year.PumpkinSky talk 11:34, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Its a nice story.(olive (talk) 05:09, 25 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the talk page vigilance. The one day this month I try to log off and get some non-wiki stuff done, and a vandal stops by. Figures! 28bytes (talk) 21:38, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! And naturally it happened on your "day off". PumpkinSky talk 21:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Glad you're back. ;) Acalamari 10:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HI! And thank you. Great to hear from you.PumpkinSky talk 10:45, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I gave a curosry welcome last week, but it's now been over a week and nothing has happened... and is very unlikely to happen now... the hounds were not unleashed, plagues did not strike, and more amazingly, the Wiki did not break! I'm glad that you are back and I'm estatic that your return was not mired by similar mayhem that occurred in February... Anyways, glad to have you back. Even with the mistakes of the past, you are (and were) a highly valued contributor.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 13:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why thank you B-man. Very kind of you.PumpkinSky talk 21:38, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I always knew you'd come back ;) -- œ ^™ 00:44, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Started, roughly. Needs a lot of checking.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:11, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Old Person

Hey Pumpkin Sky,

I would like to know why you erased the recent editing of Earl Old Person? The information on him was well sourced, researched and that person spent a great deal of time finding all those facts. What gives you the right to delete that person's hard work?

FirmaVeritas — Preceding unsigned comment added by FirmaVeritas (talk • contribs) 16:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was a different editor who reverted the recent editing of the article, not PumpkinSky. The reason for the revert appears to be that the editor added a lot of unencyclopedic material, some of which was unsourced. While some of the material may be useful, the subject of the article is a living person, and the wikipedia policies of WP:BLP need to be followed (verifiable sources for all potentially controversial claims, neutral tone, etc.) Any editor has the right to edit wikipedia, and the guidelines at WP:MOS outline why some edits are reverted by others. I hope this helps you understand. Montanabw^(talk) 17:57, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not me. My only edit to that was in August 2011.PumpkinSky talk 21:05, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FV---Pumpkin Sky didn't make the reversion in question. Nawlinwiki did. You probably saw the summary:

NawlinWiki (talk | contribs | block)‎ m . . (2,840 bytes) (-5,852)‎ . . (Reverted edits by SPM17 (talk) to last version by PumpkinSky) (rollback | undo)

And saw the last part "To last version by PumpkinSky" and thought that he made the change. But it was really Nawlin, who made the change reverting it back to the last edit made by PS.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 21:32, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, I thought it was you, but those later have cleared the air. No hard feelings I hope. The work that was deleted was for a college project that my friend worked very hard on to research and post on wikipedia.
