Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request
Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Just to ask: Were/are you an alumni of Notre Dame High School (Sherman Oaks)?
I've noticed you participated previously in an edit on the NDHS Wikipedia page, so just to ask.

Wiki labels edit quality campaign kickoff.
Hi Epicgenius! We're officially kicking off the Wikipedia:Labels campaign for edit quality. You should be able to load the interface by going to Wikipedia:Labels and clicking "Install the gadget". Once you've installed the gadget, the "Install the gadget" button will be replaced by the "campaigns" listing where you can request worksets from "Edit quality (20k random sample, 2015)". The software is still a little rough around the edges. We'll be on the look-out for your bug reports & feature requests throughout the week. I'll post progress reports on the campaign talk page. Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions. --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 05:53, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited National Gallery of Art, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metrobus.

Post-death pages
Epic, I noticed that you edited Michael Goldberg, a page about a tech CEO that was written in response to his death. I am writing to ask that you revisit your vote on deleting another tech CEO, Rachel Jacobs. Sourcing has improved since you were there and, while ApprenNet is not exactly SurveyMonkey, I think there is enough to justify an article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:35, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I might revisit it. Epic Genius (talk) ± 12:05, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Quixotic plea
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Wikipediholism test. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 05:18, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Taken a look at it recently? Revert to your last version, or break into separate diagrams for each line? (similar to what you did for the Select Bus Service routes). Useddenim (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Useddenim: I guess we could consolidate all the intersecting lines into a general "Transfer" icon or symbol. Breaking the template into separate diagrams would complicate matters, since there is only one article for all four lines. Epic Genius (talk) ± 01:21, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Reverting edit on history of the VW Beetle
Hi Epicgenius,
That's ok, I didn't think that the change would happen and I realised that this needs a lot more work. There is good reason though as Hitler being a car designer is complete bullshit propagated by internet. If anybody actually bothered to read a proper book they would find that Porsche started designing the Volkswagen years before Hitler met him. All Hitler did was to fund the Volkswagen project as long as the car should be capable of certain criteria. Margeret Thatcher did a similar thing for the Delorean, yet nobody suggested she designed it, nor is it referred to as 'The Tory Car'.
'Small Wonder' published in 1965 (before the internet) is the bible for Volkswagen history and uses interviews with 'actual' key VW personnel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.189.242 (talk) 10:17, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- I guess that if that's correct, you can re-add it. Epic Genius (talk) ± 12:28, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for thanking me for that edit. In return, I am happy to inform you that I just nominated that article for DYK and I have included you as a cocreator. Minimal though your contributions may have seemed, they helped. I hope you don't mind. Daniel Case (talk) 23:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, I see, a DYK in exchange for thanks? I don't mind. I'll try to add some substantive info into that article later, though. Epic Genius (talk) ± 02:27, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- I would have done it in any event, actually. Daniel Case (talk) 02:29, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
