Thanks for correcting my recent updates. --Pass3456 (talk) 21:50, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Causes of the Great Depression

Hello, I want to apologize. When I made that edit, I had not seen this edit of yours. --Pass3456 (talk) 22:46, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After you made the revision referred to above, I made another revision and had not seen your revision. I had no idea that there had been any editing conflict until I returned to the computer 3 or 4 hours later. The edit summary of my last revision was intended for any contributor who might want to restore the sentence saying that the chart below showed that President Hoover increased spending. I still need to review all the revisions that happened since then.JDefauw (talk) 01:26, 6 September 2012 (UTC)JDefauw.[reply]

I am satisfied now that the material that was added earlier does not any longer interrupt the flow of the article. So I decided to blank out the material under the third sub-heading. I hope the other contributors will be satisfied with the changes.JDefauw (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)JDefauw[reply]

Your edit summary was not taken as an offense at all. I still had to add again the data pointing to the Hoover stimulus. There's some alternative point of view but as far as I could read on the sources given, they don't contradict the data on the stimulus. I think it's OK to let this even if it's just for the sake of letting it be known there are diverging points of views. Thanks for praising my addition of Hoover's views on the liquidationists. I thought it was kind of not genuine to let only that statement on - since it passes the impression that he was endorsing the liquidationist view - while right on the next page on his memoirs (literally, you didn't even have to turn the page) he said he didn't agree with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leobons (talk • contribs) 03:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo clarification

Thanks for the message. Not sure if this is the right place to reply..but i'll give it a go.

The congregation of Sister minor of the Immaculate, is a totally separate community than the FI sisters, and their habits are also different.

I didn't know how to change the photo, so i just changed the caption.

Many thanks Allformary (talk) 02:19, 1 November 2012 (UTC) --Allformary (talk) 02:19, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I am a member of the FI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allformary (talk • contribs) 02:22, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep up the good work. I have a friend who is also a member of the order. I think the FI is a great order.

Thank you for answering my question. At least now I know that the name in the present caption of the photo is accurate.

I don't know how to add photos to Wikipedia articles either. When I get a chance, I will leave a message on the talk page of the article encouraging other contributors to substitute a photo of a member of the FI in place of the present photo.Dulcimer music (talk) 03:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)JDefauw[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. I would like to bring to your attention that even when I do sign my posts, Sinebot still signs them again. Is there a problem with my custom signature that causes the robot to think that I did not sign my posts?Dulcimermusic 03:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)JDefauw

Yes, the problem is that signatures need to have at least one link to your user or user talk page. (See WP:SIG for guidelines.) I'd be happy to help you code a custom signature if you need any help. ~Adjwilley (talk) 16:52, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I added the link and tested it in my sandbox.Dulcimermusic 01:37, 27 January 2013 (UTC)JDefauw[reply]

The article Social Market Economy needs a consensus version [1], [2]. You seem to be knowledgeable on that subject. Please engage if you like. --Pass3456 (talk) 21:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Input Social Market Economy

Hello JDefauw, you have given your input on the discussion of a possible lead. To finally find a consensus version (almost) everyone can agree upon there is a (hopefully) final attempt at Talk:Social_market_economy#working_on_Lead_consensus to make a one for all version. When we have a consensus version we can approach Jayron32 to unblock the article. I whant to invite you to probably make changes on that final version and finally give a thumb up or down. --Pass3456 (talk) 20:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Hey JDefauw!

I just wanted to thank you again for caring enough to suggest and overview things for my edit of the Unification Church "Beliefs" section.

May this kitty bring you laughter and smiles! :)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Duchy of Luxembourg may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
