Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Just Around the Riverbend, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Walt Disney Studios (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.

re Can you restore the Ellie Ga article?

She seems to have garnered some notability since the deletion in late 2009, and I'll edit the article further once it's restored to incorporate these sources:

Transgender topics

Hi. I saw that you had created some articles on transgender topics. Thank you! I have noticed that there used to be articles on Transmen attracted to men and Transwomen attracted to women, but these articles have since been merged. I think this is a shame. Do you think it would be a good idea to recreate them? Or would they just be re-merged? If I brought the articles back, would you be interested in editing them? Thanks. Solar-Wind (talk) 23:18, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I see those were merged/redirected following discussion at Talk:Gynephilia and androphilia#Multi Merge discussion. However that was some years ago. Not sure if recreation would be accepted.-- Brainy J ~~ (talk) 20:48, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of peace activists

Hi. I'm one of the people who watch the page, and left my comments on the redirect suggestion (I'm glad I found it). Please read my comment and see if it makes sense. I've tweaked the page at the top to reflect both anti-war and peace movement participants (not the same animal, although within the same species), and have played with the template, which I've been quite active on, to make it more inclusive as well. The topic falls into semantics, and asks "Is a peace activist a member of only the "Peace Movement" or do some, if not most, consider themselves members of the anti-war movement or anti-nuclear movement". An interesting quandary, so thanks for bringing the subject up and hopefully we can scratch our heads and work the definition out. Good to meet you. Randy Kryn 2:26 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Tobi Hill-Meyer for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tobi Hill-Meyer is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tobi Hill-Meyer until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Novato 123chess456 (talk) 11:26, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kelly Benoit-Bird requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Tchaliburton (talk) 04:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move of Betty Hay

I believe your move of Betty Hay to Elizabeth Dexter Hay was in error as Betty Hay is in fact the name she is almost always referred to. Even though the sources of the article use Elizabeth Dexter Hay, in their titles, they almost exclusively refer to her as Betty throughout their actual content. For instance:

The article Elizabeth Hay opens up with this line:

Betty Hay, as she is usually called, was born and raised in Melbourne, Florida.

The article never uses the name Elizabeth other than the title, and always refers to her as Betty.

Also the article A Tribute to Elizabeth D. Hay, 1927–2007 refers to her as "Dr. Elizabeth Dexter Hay" in the first sentence, but then subsequently only uses Betty to describe her, never again mentioning her as Elizabeth.

Betty is by far the most common name used to describe her, and it is the name she went by during her life, and the only reason her full name is used in the titles of those sources is because they do not follow our common name format, but rather always use people's full names. Would you reconsider this move?AioftheStorm (talk) 05:21, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable. I moved the page back.-- Brainy J ~~ (talk) 12:19, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TOC position

Hello, thanks for your edits to the disambiguation page Kings. However, please see this edit summary of mine. Thanks! Graham87 01:55, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Brainy J. I reverted you on this per, like I stated in that edit summary, the WP:See also guideline. Flyer22 (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, then why didn't you also remove couvade syndrome? Really I don't see the harm in having the additional link.-- Brainy J ~~ (talk) 18:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
