Question
When you do your book citations on AfD, are you actually manually typing everything from google books or is there a faster way, because google books does not allow me to copy sections. Valoem talk contrib 17:04, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Valoem. When I do book citations at AfDs and DRVs like Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 November 30#Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright (1821–1863) I manually type everything from Google Books. I am not aware of a faster way. Cunard (talk) 05:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Wow that is a lot of work, are you able to use high beam to find any sources defining the term before Donnelly's 2001 study? Valoem talk contrib 18:15, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have commented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (4th nomination) with sources that discuss Donnelly's 2001 study about "involuntary celibacy" to show there is a "cohesive topic". Cunard (talk) 07:23, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

- Try clicking the text selection tool . Then you can copy-paste text without having to re-type it. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:52, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, RoySmith (talk · contribs)! I appreciate the screenshot, which helped me find the text selection tool on public domain books like this. This is a neat feature that will save me a lot of typing in the future when I copy text from public domain books. But the text selection tool doesn't appear for me for non-public domain books like this one, so I think it only works on public domain books. Cunard (talk) 07:23, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- OneNote has some tools for clipping and saving screenshots which can save a lot of retyping. Andrew D. (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Andrew Davidson (talk · contribs), for the recommendation! OneNote would be useful in clipping sources I want to save for personal use. But for AfDs and DRVs, I think typing still will be needed. I generally want to have the sources' text on the AfD or DRV so editors can see the quotes on one page without having to click on multiple links. Cunard (talk) 05:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deep Knowledge Ventures, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fund (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
I don't remember editing with you before
But I very much appreciate the work you did attempting rescue of Involuntary Celibacy and your ping today on Sandella. If I can ever be of assistance, please call on me. I would not consider such a call canvassing, because I've specifically asked you to do so. Been here ten years and I'm still always meeting someone new (to me). Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 23:48, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi BusterD. Thank you for your very kind words, and I'm glad to have met you. I was very impressed by your detailed history of the discussions at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (3rd nomination). I'll definitely contact you again if I need help with evaluating or finding sources. Thank you for your gracious offer of help. Cunard (talk) 06:45, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Ok, I'll admit I was wrong there. I think your expansion may be sufficient enough to consider listing the article for DYK. I think the DYK hook is pretty obvious. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:37, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, Ricky81682 (talk · contribs), for withdrawing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Love You Baba. I've listed the article at DYK at Template:Did you know nominations/Love You Baba. Cunard (talk) 03:17, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Is this a real thing, I am not able to confirm it from my research, possible WP:HOAX. Valoem talk contrib 04:11, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- This is not a hoax. Here are the two sources in the article:
- Adams, Robert W. "CHEMICAL WARFARE IN FUTURE MILITARY OPERATIONS", Command and Staff College, United States Navy, via Globalsecurity.org, April 6, 1984, accessed January 3, 2009.
- D'Amico,William P. , Jr. "Comments on the Flight Stability of the XM736 8-Inch Binary Projectile", (Abstract/Citation), Ballistic Research Laboratory, October 1982, accessed January 3, 2009.
AN section you may be interested in
I think this may be of interest to you. Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#ANRFC_again AlbinoFerret 23:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note and for your hard work and dedication in closing RfCs at WP:ANRFC. I've commented there. Cunard (talk) 07:03, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
DYK nomination of Masa Fukuda
Hello! Your submission of Masa Fukuda at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 03:17, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there. I noticed this nomination has been stale. BlueMoonset had issues that it wasn't at a five-fold expansion. Have you made any contributions to fulfill this since then? If you have, we can request a new review. If not, I'll give a second opinion on the matter to see whether it straight-up fails. Jolly Ω Janner 04:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Jolly Janner, Yoninah will be reviewing the nomination tomorrow; I really couldn't, since I'd made some restorations after Cunard's deletions. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Link to Yoninah's discussion with BlueMoonset. Cunard (talk) 05:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I was wondering if you might be interested in writing an article on Merrill Edge, I have some trouble finding number of employees, but this investment firm is definitely notable distinct from Merrill Lynch. Valoem talk contrib 20:30, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the suggestion. I've written an article about Merrill Edge, which has 2,500 advisers working in bank branches and call centers. Cunard (talk) 01:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- Awesome job! I've added an infobox, but I was missing some information like area served. Valoem talk contrib 20:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- From this article in Bloomberg Businessweek:
I think it's accurate to say that the area served is the United States. Cunard (talk) 20:36, 14 February 2016 (UTC)To lure customers to Merrill Edge, Bank of America recently started testing videoconferencing kiosks at bank branches in the Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., areas. Merrill associates in Arizona, Florida, and New Jersey dispense financial advice on the kiosks' monitors. Branches advertise Merrill Edge on their windows and ATMs, which doesn't sit well with brokers who don't like seeing the Merrill brand diluted. In a December 2009 internal memo aimed at dispelling fears over the integration of the banking and brokerage operations, Krawcheck had to declare: "No, we're not converting our wealth management branches into ATMs."

How do you do it?! How do you write such high quality articles so fast!? :) Valoem talk contrib 21:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know if they're high quality or not, but I just write them. ;) Cunard (talk) 21:50, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Merrill Lynch and Bank of America Merrill Lynch are the same company now right? Valoem talk contrib 22:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, they are part of the same company. They are different divisions of Bank of America. Merrill Lynch is the wealth management division of Bank of America, while Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the corporate and investment banking division of Bank of America.

RfC. The wrong question
Hi Cunard,
Thank you for Wikipedia_talk:Miscellany_for_deletion#RfC:_Should_MfD_relists_be_allowed_or_disallowed.3F. I think you have asked the wrong question. Would you please consider revising the question? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have added a second question to the RfC. Cunard (talk) 03:16, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Aging AfC article
Hi Cunard,
Would you be so kind as to take a look at an AfC draft that has aged 21 days? This is a paid work, I was hired after the original editor gave up in frustration and got himself banned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:World_Head_of_Family_Sokeship_Council The article is about a long lived international martial arts organization and there is a essay on guidance for notability on such articles here:[1]
I'm hoping to get a neutral review before the AfC queue gets backlogged again and "the group" goes through everything heavy-handedly.
Thanks for your consideration. 009o9 (talk) 19:44, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have edited the article. I added a lead, added information and sources, and removed information about the group's charter. Because World Head of Family Sokeship Council has full creation protection, I have posted a message on the talk page asking for an admin to do the move for me. Cunard (talk) 06:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for all the work you did on it, the discussion is getting spread out all over the place. I went ahead and listed it at WP:DRV as suggested. Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016_February 17 Be sure to ping me on the AfD's that interest you, haven't been following them much lately. 009o9 (talk) 23:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
