Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you for adding Assemblies of Yahweh to the Bethel, Berks County, Pennsylvania page, although it was a few years back, it still was a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work. In Citer (talk) 10:29, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

You're welcome - Happy Christmas. BobKilcoyne (talk) 10:41, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Menachem

The article Menachem has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Superfluous article based upon an alternate (and less accurate) transliteration of the Hebrew name Menahem (disambiguation) מנחם; both are acceptable (and mostly interchangeable) transliterations of the exact same name and should all be listed in one place.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. StonyBrook (talk) 01:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I am proposing that Menachem be eventually redirected to Menahem (disambiguation) after the entire list is moved. StonyBrook (talk) 01:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Menachem

An article that you have been involved in editing—Menachem—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. StonyBrook (talk) 23:10, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Daniel mundane

Hi Bob. The word "mundane" was being used in the sense of earthly rather than boring, but since you're not the first to object I'm happy to remove it. Achar Sva (talk) 09:02, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Achar Sva. Actually, I thought the words "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel" should be retained as they provide a succinct and objective summary of the contents of the book, as well as the message. I agree about the message but I would balance this with the contents. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:51, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I've fixed that up now.Achar Sva (talk) 11:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

List of OMB Circulars

Thank you -- this is an important list.

I had such an adverse experience trying to create the article "Executive_Order_12866" that I gave up trying to edit. Use this information if it floats your boat.

Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of Delineations of These Areas https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bulletin-20-01.pdf

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to British government response to the COVID-19 pandemic you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 21:05, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Diannaa, thanks for this but do you really think that the attribution needs to be added at the end of every line? This seems to me to be rather excessive. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 05:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Oh I see it now. You have an attribution template at the beginning of the citation, so one is not actually needed where I added it. Sorry for the mistake.— Diannaa (talk) 14:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks - so which place would be best for the attribution, at the beginning of the citation, after the fourth bullet point in this section, or somewhere else? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

The wording of the template you used indicates it's intended for use at the beginning of the citation. I had not seen this particular template before; that's why I didn't notice it there. The way I do it adds attribution at the end of the citation. Both are okay. — Diannaa (talk) 20:21, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry but it's not ready yet. Please review the comparison using Earwig's tool.— Diannaa (talk) 20:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

I've made some amendments, although they have had remarkably little impact on the Earwig's tool score. However, I'm on holiday now for two weeks and will not have much opportunity to revisit this until after Easter. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Removal of maintenance template for List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 2017

I've removed the wikilinks template that you added to the article List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 2017, since I believe that there are a sufficient number of links to other pages on the article now. Please let me know if you have any objections to this, or still think there should be more links. Nabikunyoi (talk) 23:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

• Agreed, many thanks for this, also noted that a large number of links have been added to the 2016, 2019 and 2020 pages and the wikilinks template has been removed from these articles accordingly. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 03:02, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Contract theory (law) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Contract theory (law), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). In addition, this article reads like an essay, so please review WP:NOTESSAY. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello BobKilcoyne!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
