Your user page

Hello there, I just saw your message on Praxidicae’s talk page explaining that you liked her user page design and wanted to copy it for your own. I think it’s good you want to share something like this, however though, on the original page, a note was left by Praxidicae stating 'Obviously this is a message that should be heard but if you plan to copy my userpage please, please at least give proper attribution as I spent several hours manually doing all of these things, including getting the text just right.'. You did not do this, and although I know you mean well, this could be disappointing, since as she said, she spent lots of time making it. What you may wish to do, is make a null edit to your page (just like an additional space or something) and say in the edit summary something along the lines of 'Content copied from [[User:Praxidicae]]. See history for attribution.'. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Kind regards, Blanchey (talk) 22:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Update: I am so sorry, I did not realise that you had actually done so. I assumed that you would put it in the summary, I didn’t see at the bottom of the page, so you have done it right. Sorry again. Kind regards, Blanchey (talk) 07:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Teahouse follow-up

You raised a concern at the Teahouse about Fenton M. Slaughter. I have been working on that article and hope that you will take a look. Cullen328 (talk) 17:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
