Thank you for the changes you have made, removing a source of irritation. Much appreciated. I have suggested another change on the talk page of Scarborough Castle. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 20:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Question on origin of Roman alphabet

John, In case it's not on your watchlist, please see my comment on Talk:Roman_alphabet. You might know more than I. I did not read the entire article so, just glanced at the Origin section, and it bothered me a bit.Pat Palmer (talk) 15:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Acad´emie Francaise

John, I've added some new material to the Academy entry, including a section on the Acad´emie Francaise as the custodian of the French language. I believe this falls within your area of professional expertise so i would appreciate it if you would take a look at it, strike out anything that is totally wrong and correct any subtleties that you think need it. Thanks Roger A. Lohmann (talk) 13:08, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

(Update): Since I wrote the note above, I've added a few additional sections on other language academies. Same questions apply, if you will. Again, thanks.Roger A. Lohmann (talk) 14:32, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

OK, will take a look when I can. Thanks for your note. John Stephenson (talk) 15:23, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. No problem. No hurry. Roger A. Lohmann (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding a new article

I hope you are doing well and having a great time. I have a question regarding adding a new article. Actually, I have many good topics in my mind but I am not sure which one will be accepted or rejected by Citizendium. Could you please give me some information about choosing a right topic? Thanks in advance. Amin Mahmoudi (talk) 17:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Please test Tim's wiki mail

Hi, John. I'm sorry I didn't see your message about the Write-a-Thon. I checked my email configuration. I should be receiving email notifications but don't recall seeing one back in January. Would you mind leaving another piece of wiki mail so I can check while I'm actively watching? (I mean, just sometime in coming days. No rush.) — Tim Chambers (talk) 17:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Just saw your wikimail. I am not getting email notifications, not in spam folder, and will do more troubleshooting on my end. — Tim Chambers (talk) 04:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Doctor Who/Timelines

Have you watched the latest? I've added a note on that page which is not explicitly supported by DW Wiki, and WP hasn't got round to including any information on the actual broadcast yet, but this seems to be implied. If it's wrong please delete. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:54, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

A WP talk page seems to say the screen titles give episode number and title but not serial title: curiouser and curiouser. Peter Jackson (talk) 11:21, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what that refers to. The titling is a bit of a mess. In the opening credits it says Doctor Who with Flux underneath (which has led fans to complain that they've renamed the whole show to Doctor Who Flux!), then on the next screen for the first episode it says Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse. However, the iPlayer just calls it The Halloween Apocalypse. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's correct that this is the first time there has been a series and an episode title at once. Is the Chapter bit really an episode number, though? I lean towards no. John Stephenson (talk) 14:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
