Nice work

I've seen a number of your articles come through Special:Newpages over the past month - just wanted to let you know that they look great. Keep up the good work, and happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:15, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

James Greig

Hi Grace - I've just moved the information you wrote at James Greig into a separate article at James Greig (potter). The information is good, but it shouldn't have been placed on a disambiguation page (they are only there to point readers to different articles with similar titles). In future, if you want to write an article with the same title as one that's already created (but on a different subject), use some parenthetical description (like "(potter)") in the title and just add a link to it in the disambiguation page. Cheers - and keep up the good work on NZ potters! Grutness...wha? 23:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
