Thanks for removing the nom, although I wish I'd seen it in time to make an alterative suggestion re. its authorship. ——Serial Number 54129 10:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DeLancey Gill FAC[edit]

Howdy Airship, sorry to bug, I was just wondering if you had a chance to see the fix-ups I did for the DeLancey W. Gill FAC from your prose review! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 23:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christianity in China reversion side-issue[edit]

When recently reverting some substantial sock-puppetry in the above article, you also - apparently accidentally - reverted a couple of more modest subsequent edits, both in a quite different part of the article from the sock-puppetry (though not from each other).

As I have had past experience of such side-effects from otherwise needed revisions damaging the comprehensibility of articles and as a quick check confirmed that they had no visible connection to the sock-puppetry and they both seemed to improve the article, I have taken the liberty of editing them back into the article while taking care not to do the same with the sock-puppetry.

If I have been mistaken in doing this, please let me know. Thanks and best wishes. PWilkinson (talk) 11:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your attention PWilkinson, no worries here. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
