Thanks

Thanks for creating the Ubuntu Christian Edition article. I believe I am going to install that on a computer. I also think I am going to install Xiphos on a computer.

In addition, I may try out CometBird. A quick suggestion: When you create articles like this, I would put in the software's greatest strengths and weaknesses. It seems to me the greatest strength of CometBird is its greater speed than Firefox. Here is a cool browser you may like by the way: Comodo IceDragon. I rarely use Firefox now.

You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know! I'm glad those pages were a little helpful! You're right--having the Pros and Cons is a good idea. Honestly, I don't know enough about some software to do that, but I'll see what I can do. The main problem I foresee in trying to list Pros and Cons is that those are somewhat subjecting, and can vary. For example, Opera had what I thought was a great browser for a while (since then, they switched to the Chromium engine) but some thought it was terrible. What works well for one person, doesn't always work the same way for another. None the less, I'll see what I can do. Perhaps looking up a number of other reviews for the software would be advantageous. Anyway, I'm rambling a bit. I'll see if I can start adding those sections to at least some of the pages. Thanks for the suggestion!

I think I might have heard of Comodo IceDragon before, but I'm not sure. I'll definitely add it to my list and see what I can do. Thanks for that suggestion as well! --David B (talk) XX:xx, 26 February 2016 (EST)

I've made a very simple page for Comodo IceDragon. I don't know much about it, but I'll try it a bit more in depth if I can and try to expand the page somewhat. As always, feel free to add/edit/remove if you want.--David B (talk) XX:xx, 26 February 2016 (EST)

Vandal

A vandal on the loose. [1] David B (talk) 17:02, 27 February 2016 (EST)

He, Rahulbrown, and Josephkocher might also be one and the same person. U.U (talk) XX:xx, 27 February 2016 (EST)

Thanks for the info--I guess I'm too late though. I'll try to keep an eye on Rahulbrown, but he/she doesn't seem to have done anything yet, so I can't just ban 'em I don't think. Thanks for the info! --David B (talk) XX:xx, 27 February 2016 (EST) (David B)

Rahulbrown has been blocked now, but the user I just told you of seems to have vanished instead of being blocked. I wonder why.U.U (talk) 19:46, 29 February 2016 (EST)

It could be that he gave up, but I'd sooner suspect that he had multiple accounts. Another one was banned, and with it his IP address. Now he can't log in to any other accounts, so he's gone even though the others are still open. It's just speculation, of course, but that's what I suspect.--David B (talk) 20:53, 29 February 2016 (EST)

Archive

Just F.Y.I., I've created an "archive" to hopefully fix or at least move the problem of signatures not being placed, and section edits not working properly. --David B (talk) 17:02, 27 February 2016 (EST)

Banks thanks

Thank you for your edits. One editor seems to have left a trail of red links and I appreciate you pipe-ing them to their correct target. JDano (talk) 10:38, 2 March 2016 (EST)

You're welcome! Yes, some people do that a lot. I can understand when a wiki first starts out, that this can be a good idea. By now, however, that really should be avoided--especially when the page desired already exists under another name.

You seem to be doing a great job of both writing and editing--thanks! --David B (talk) 12:29, 2 March 2016 (EST)

I must admit, though, that I still sometimes do this when there is a page I really think should be made. If no one else does it, though, I usually plan to go back and make these myself. --David B (talk) 14:40, 2 March 2016 (EST)

No problem--I've uploaded both: James Brady and Neil Cavuto. I certainly don't mind personal requests, but just in case you don't know, Conservapedia does have an image upload request page here. However, I certainly don't mind being asked directly. Have a great day! --David B (talk) 09:12, 3 March 2016 (EST)

Please upload https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite#/media/File:Neuron_Hand-tuned.svg It is CC SA and must be attributed to Quasar Jarosz. Thanks, JDano (talk) 14:31, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

re: abortion and evolution article

Please feel free to completely revise or partially revise the Abortion and evolution article. I restored the article so now it's up to you to make it a encyclopedic article. I didn't have a chance to review the article and I am leaving that up to you along with any changes to the article.

Photo upload request

We have added a bio for Merrick Garland. Could you please upload the official photo, which is not copyrighted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_Garland#/media/File:Merrick_Garland.jpg Thanks, JDano (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

Nice work! I've uploaded it under the name "Merrick Garland.jpg". [3] --David B (talk) 23:58, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

Thank you. How about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract#/media/File:Cataract_in_human_eye.png JDano (talk) 08:23, 21 March 2016 (EDT)

You're welcome! I've uploaded the second one named as "Cataract in human eye.png" [4]

Thanks for all your continuing work! I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to do much, but I'll try to keep checking at least once a day in case you have other upload requests. Have a great day!--David B (talk) 22:11, 21 March 2016 (EDT)

Thank you for all your help. It is great working with you. JDano (talk) 08:40, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

You're welcome--let me know when there's anything else I can do!--David B (talk) 12:55, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yunnan_in_China_(%2Ball_claims_hatched).svg Please. You can shorten the name of the uploaded file :-) JDano (talk) 08:45, 24 March 2016 (EDT)

Any time! --David B (talk) 22:38, 24 March 2016 (EDT)

Catergories

Thank you for your work on category clean up. If you put an article in a subcategory, it should not also go in the category. So, articles in Category:United States Law should not be placed into Category:Law or Category:Laws. A user who did not understand the tree-structure of categories added a lot of category tags in 2014-2015 that messed everything up. A category should not be a subcategory of itself. Also, if categories A B and C are subcategories of category X. Then do not create a circle by placing X as a subcategory of A B and C. Thanks, JDano (talk) 13:50, 31 March 2016 (EDT)
