Greetings!

Hi Jeff, I am the lead editor for Derek Trucks and The Derek Trucks Band, and wanted to thank you for the work you have done on the Susan Tedeschi article! I'm one of few that touched her article, as roots and blues musicians, like their jazz counterparts tend to be ignored in the Wikipedia. However, I've been doing this for a few years, maybe we can help each other... (or ask others we know with certain skills to help with those things we don't know). I see you've had problems getting a photo uploaded. That's my main focus, I am what is called, a "Wikignome", someone who does all the smaller tasks that others just take for granted; copyediting for grammar, word construction, finding photos that people have taken and contacting them, to get them to give up their copyright and allow us to use the photos using Creative Commons. I'm not sure what your focus is right now, but just leave me a note on my talk page if you want any help, advice, or whatever! We are, after all, working towards the same goals, I think! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Leah, thanks for the kudos. I fill in details about musicians, albums or songs when I have missing information. Not sure what you meant about uploading photos to Susan Tedeschi's article. I tried to clean up the grammar on that article and split out some egregious run-on paragraphs. Jeff d kirby (talk) 16:47, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Jeff, no I meant, we are doing the same kinds of things. I'm the one who uploads photos and infoboxes, and wanted to tell you thanks for helping along Susan Tedeschi's article! I was attempting this past year to fix far too many botched articles (not hers, I just put the photos on Susan's article), but on the Derek Trucks and Cat Stevens and other ones. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, and some people dumped references on Derek Trucks' page that would probably come in as very useful on Susan Tedeschi's page, too. Cheers! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 05:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Beau Bridges. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Cognate247 (talk) 20:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
