Suggestions for next Minnesota meetup?
[edit]Hi, Aaron, do you have any suggestions for a next date or place for a Minnesota meetup?

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stutz Motor Company, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Untouchables and Gone in 60 Seconds (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.

Fixing the current revision is not always a good idea
[edit][1] This was not good. Whenever you see something which may not remain after a reasonable editor, check the edit history immediately, and never rush to make fixes. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:13, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! I honestly didn't notice those other edits (I'm not really sure why), or I would've reverted it instead. --Aaron of Mpls (talk) 23:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Request for opinion
[edit]Hi Aaron of Mpls: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics) . Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 04:56, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
