[edit]Disambiguation link notification for August 6
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Canada Goose, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baltic (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.

I'm very sorry...
[edit]Innotata - I'm sorry that the Lavvu Coffee House was not open for on last Saturday. I was in the hospital for most of that week and I would have opened the shop then. I owe everyone a free cup of coffee next time. Dinkytown talk 01:35, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
- That's fine, hope you're doing well now. Having meetups at the coffee house this fall would work very well for me, if you're still on. —innotata 16:25, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

House Sparrow
[edit]Why was my picture deleted? I think it is appropriate
thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by VeljkoBegovic (talk • contribs) 15:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- It's a little blurry and not useful to illustrate anything. It really doesn't belong in the "Subspecies" section, since it doesn't illustrate a subspecies other than the nominate one. There are maybe a thousand images of the House Sparrow on Commons, so only a tiny fraction can be included in the article, and they should be only the best. —innotata 15:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Afghan Snowfinch
[edit]Hi, I saw your revert on Afghan Snowfinch. Avibase gives Montifringilla theresae for protonym. Is it a mistake? Do you have the original description? Totodu74 (talk) 15:19, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
- You're right, and I'll add a source for the synonymy. —innotata 23:01, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Article Feedback Tool update
[edit]Hey Innotata. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 22:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I work with the City of Minneapolis and we're hoping to use your photo of the MPRB headquarters in our 2012 Public Building Energy Benchmarking Report. For more information: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/environment/energy/
Here's the credit I'm planning to use, according to the Wikipedia guidelines: (Credit: Innotata/Wikimedia Commons)
Let me know if that looks alright, I haven't done this before so I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions you have.
Thanks!
