Well done

Fish welfare at slaughter - great article - well done! __DrChrissy (talk) 13:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! As you may recall, I was (and am) a huge fan of Pain in invertebrates. It's such an important article. I'm not sure if you have any interest in connecting by email, but if so, feel free to write to me at the email address on my website. Brian Tomasik (talk) 11:20, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

UK or US English?

Hi. I have been doing some editing of Fish welfare at slaughter and I noticed there was a mix of UK english and US English. As the creator, which was your intention for the article?__DrChrissy (talk) 09:25, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't notice. :) My guess is that in the long run, US English is better because there are more US readers in the world. I'm also a US speaker, so I assume most of the language is US English already. Brian Tomasik (talk) 11:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed after I posted the message that you are from the US and guessed that US English would be the preferred format. I suggest you change it to be consistent throughout the article, or if you wait a couple of days, I will get around to changing it. All the best. __DrChrissy (talk) 23:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I may wait for you, since I'm not sure I'd spot the instances myself. :) The only one that I see offhand is "World Organisation for Animal Health" (in US it'd be "Organization"), but I'm not sure if it makes sense to change that given that the official name on the website is "Organisation". :) Brian Tomasik (talk) 23:28, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

If that is their official name, then is should stay spelt that way. There are not many changes needed for the article - I'll do them tomorrow. Once again - great article - well done! __DrChrissy (talk) 23:36, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

animal rights article

		The Original Barnstar
		For creating an article that was needed and contributing a vast amount of quality information to it! Turn➦ 14:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you're the creator of Animal welfare and rights in China and just want to say thanks for creating it! I've always thought wikipedia needed an article about the subject and you've done a great job writing about it (I have always wanted to write about it but could never gather all the info about it, such a huge subject). PS Have a barnstar for your work on it! Good job! Turn➦ 14:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much. ^_^ Best wishes on your editing as well. Brian Tomasik (talk) 19:58, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
