on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.--Gibmetal 77talk 2 me 11:31, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for recent edits to the Gorham's Cave article. Why not attempt a cleanup and adding citations yourself? Let me know if you get stuck, I'm here to help --Gibmetal 77talk 2 me 11:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Secure Digital
[edit]The article Secure Digital you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Secure Digital for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Vincent60030 (talk) 08:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Don't worry, the article is really good already compared to other worse articles. You can renominate it when you have addressed the issues. ;) Good luck!Vincent60030 (talk) 08:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit to Svalbard. You seem to have changed the meaning, however, when you only intended to change the grammar.
The original
Svalbard is the northernmost place in the world with a permanent population, outside of the occasional research station, such as Alert, Nunavut, which is the northernmost of them all.
Yours
. Other settlements are farther north, but are populated by non-permanant rotating research staff; e.g. Alert, Nunavut—the northernmost permanently-inhabited community.
So does Alert have non-permanent rotating staff (in which case it's obviously not permanently inhabited), or did you mean something else?

- @Anniepoo: I believe my meaning is consistent, though I may be misunderstanding your question. Alert, Nunavut is the most northerly human settlement, but is populated non-permanently by a rotating staff of researchers and support members. Therefore, the record held by Svalbard is that it is the most northernly permanent human settlement.
- The prior iteration of this claim is a run-on sentence. I believe it attempts to say that Alert, Nunavut is the northernmost human community, and hints at it being solely a research base; thought it does not claim this explicitly. Sam.hill7 (talk) 18:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Sam.hill7: Your explanation above seems much clearer (to me) than either the original or what you changed it to. Can I suggest using some variation of it in the article?
- Anniepoo (talk) 00:50, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Anniepoo: I made some changes, hopefully it clears things up.
