Precious
images
Thank you for quality articles on images and presenting yourself by images, for starting Lost on the Grand Banks and drafting Hermann Conring, for starting with Swedish bands, adding scientists such William Brouncker, 2nd Viscount Brouncker, and uploading featured images, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
A year ago, you were the 1014th recipient of my PumpkinSky Prize, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:09, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Halloween cheer!
Hello P. S. Burton:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable Halloween!

Thanks Your edits have been great! I didn't know about Penguin's expanded edition of those four works, so I'll have to find them at the library. (If you respond, please use {{ping}} to let me know.) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:21, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Texas Revolution

The Reviewer Barnstar | |
| Thank you for your incredibly detailed review of Texas Revolution. That's the most thorough review one of my articles has ever had, and I very much appreciate your efforts to improve the article. Karanacs (talk) 20:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC) |
Many thanks for copy editing and other improvements to this page. -- BOD -- 23:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Audie Murphy is a Featured Topic, which I'm sure you know. Would have appreciated something on my talk page about the notes revision. It didn't add anything to the article. It didn't do any harm, either. Your style versus anyone else's, which means it wasn't that necessary. However, since it's done no harm, I'm not going to revert any of it. But next time you do that on something that is GA, FA, FLC and FT, it would be courteous to discuss it with the person did the majority of the work in the first place. Thanks. — Maile (talk) 21:33, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Maile66: I did not think I had to ask permission to make such a minor and uncontroversial change. The usual form is either "notes" or "nb". I have never before seen anyone name the notes after the subject's initials, either here or in works outside Wikipedia. P. S. Burton (talk) 01:31, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Sleeping Illness
i have been working on the sleeping illness page. I have had a lot of other information on it but someone keeps deleting my information and putting back less information. There is a lot of information on this illness. Srhesler29 (talk) 16:42, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Contractions
MOS:CONTRACTION applies only to articles, not talk pages or project space, so please cut it out. EEng (talk) 17:52, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- How can we expect user to follow the manual of style when writing articles if it is not also used on the rest of Wikipedia? The best way to make sure the style guide is followed is to apply it consequently. I see no point in arguing over these minor corrections. P. S. Burton (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- It's well established that MOS applies only to articles, not discussions, guidelines, policies, or anything else. And as CONTRACTION enjoins, even where a contraction is undesirable, robotically expanding them, instead of considering the sentence as a whole, is a bad idea. This kind of mass-application of non-rule "rules" benefits Wikipedia not at all, well-intentioned though it may be. Your changes have been reverted, so take it to the respective talk pages if you think they're important enough. Or, open a discussion at Talk:MOS to see if others share your idea that MOS applies outside of articles. EEng (talk) 18:03, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with EEng. That is a content policy, covering the encylopaedic tone of our articles. It not only does not apply to policy pages but by changing the tone you are changing the policy pages so they read more formally. If an editor has chosen to use a contraction to e.g. soften the tone then that should not be modified without good reason. And a policy that applies only to articles is not a good reason.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 18:22, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, I disagree. I find the current mixture of "do not "and "don't" etc. quite erratic and think the pages should settle on one consequent style instead of mixing both. But I concur with the apparent consensus and will not attempt to revert again. P. S. Burton (talk) 22:40, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Shitburger AfD
Hello! I am continuing to find and make improvements to this encyclopedia article. Since it is considered poor form to canvass for votes (or, I presume, revotes), I would ask only that you revisit the article. Cheers! —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 20:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi ATinySliver. I have seen the recent work on the article and I do not want to sound harsh, but I am sorry to say that it still only contains the dictionary definition of the term and some some non-notable trivia on its usage, such as "someone said it on a talk show" or "someone used the term in a book". Sorry. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:00, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks for your attention.

Askey
After glancing at this website, I get the feeling Askey's books are good enough for use on Wikipedia. What's your take on it? Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 13:43, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Jonas Vinther. I don't know. It would of course be better if the same information could be found in a work by a proper historian, but perhaps this review in the Journal of Slavic Military Studies means that his books can be used:
These books are an extremely useful resource to military historians seeking detailed assessments of the armed forces on the Russian Front in 1941. They are based on extensive archival research, and provide a level of detail far beyond that found in conventional military histories. Even for Russian Front specialists, they provide a valuable synthesis of data that is otherwise scattered through specialist studies and archival resources. While they are of special interest to readers interested in military simulation and analysis, they offer an unprecedented data-base for military historians studying the 1941 Barbarossa campaign.
- However, I am no expert on the matter, so I would suggest that you ask for other editors opinions at the talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history. Cheers. P. S. Burton (talk) 13:58, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Interesting ... apparently the standard has changed; broadcast quotes used to be italicized. In any event, thank you, and I'll check others on my watchlist as well. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 02:23, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Graphics Lab request update
I attempted to complete the request you made at the Graphics Lab, but have ended up making rather large alterations to the file under-the-hood. If you're able to look over it and see if I've removed/altered anything that I shouldn't have, or indeed if I've missed any of the necessary text changes, that would be great, although you should now be able to make text changes yourself using a simple text editor; just download it and scroll to the end of the file where they're all stored between <text> or <tspan> tags.

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.
