Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frank Eric Lloyd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cooper. 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.

Origin of Earliest Pictish
The original Pictish language bears no connection with the later Brittonic dialects of Pictish at all. The original language was of Neolithic origin and what is known of its vocabulary is entirely different than Brythonic or Goidhelic! This has been proved by one with a degree in ancient languages. Also the case against non-Indo-European is error. If you have an issue with this, please leave a message on my talk page. Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk) 18:13, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Andrew

Help?
Hi, I'm still not really able to move around well. I am hoping that you can fix the photos on my user page. Apparently, some of the photographers I got to license photos for use in Creative Commons changed their license back (which I think isn't legal, but the least of my problems). Will you move the photos up to fill the gap on my tiny photo list on my page? Thanks brother! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 11:08, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Leah, I think the problem you were talking about might be sorted now? It's a problem with the way the gallery template deals with captions... it doesn't like captions that are larger than one line. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 11:25, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:36, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
