Scrabble

Thanks for the input on Scrabble, but Wikipedia is very big on sourcing all of its material - it's inappropriate to use "anecdotal" evidence for anything, as the encyclopaedia would quickly descend into a war of rival, uncheckable anecdotes.

By all means write up the "Scrabble words" phenomenon, but you should find a reliable source that's already documented it, so that you can quote it directly. A newspaper or magazine article would be fine. --McGeddon (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Comparison of programming languages, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Livecode (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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Fire Island

What on earth was this edit? Looking at the content, it seems you reverted numerous improvements to the article. In fact, after your edit are several by other users fixing the mistakes you created. If I didn't know better, I'd call it vandalism since you don't even bother to explain why you made the change in the edit summary. Opencooper (talk) 19:31, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Just saw your comments here. I do not know what you mean, nor can I locate the edits in question.

I have lived on Fire Island for 65 years, and I think I know something about it.

Please do let me know what the issue is...
