Hi Amy!

I just wanted to say thanks for your awesome help with patrolling. You've been doing a fantastic job, and we really need help from people like you who can review and discriminate appropriately. The unpatrolled edit count has been rather high this week, so your helping hand is very much appreciated!

Krystle

You're welcome. I notice you've made many useful edit out there :) Keep up your good works.

Any articles that you create can be found on your user page - http://www.wikihow.com/User:Amy-K.-Jones as well as all contributions (or edits) that you have made on wikiHow can be found here - http://www.wikihow.com/Special:Contributions/Amy-K.-Jones . Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that! Because it's a wiki, you're always welcome to add your ideas into the other article to make it better!

I'm glad! There's such a wide variety of articles here, it really is kind of fun to "flip" through them as you're patrolling :)

Hi Amy K. Jones, I was trying to help out by patrolling recent changes and I ended up reverting the edit you made to Date Ukraine Women. I wanted to give you the heads up on that because there's always the chance I made a mistake, and you were really just trying to make the page better. So if that's the case, please reply.

Nice job on editing Stop a Bruise from Hurting. The article is definitely better for it.

You too!!

Hi Amy,

That was exactly the problem, since there are only a few people who work on unlicensed image problems, it can cause a problem if their work is reverted, that is why I left the message.

Cheers!

Bob

Thank you for your thumbs up on my edit of "How To Forgive Someone'. Always nice to have writing work validated. Cheers!

Hey Amy!

Thanks so much for all the great work you've been doing with the Tips Patrol tool! Adding tips like the one you approved for How to Make a Goldfish Live for Decades really add to the article and make them much better :) Thanks again!

Thanks for the thumbs up!

Hey there Amy, welcome to wikiHow :) Great job on your new article How to Determine if a wikiHow Article Qualifies As Dangerous! I did a little editing to help it match the format as described in the Writer's Guide. Can you take a look at my changes here and here and let me know what you think, I hope you like my edits!

Thanks again for a very well written article! Have a great day, and I hope you keep contributing to wikiHow!

Thank you! You too! Looking forward to seeing more of your great contributions!

You deserved it :) Nice categorizing!

Great work on Deal with a Nagging Wife

Hey! :) Good job patrolling!

Hi there! Big fan of your work:)

You're very welcome! Thanks for removing all those poorly-fitting intro images. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they pick them out!

Thanks for your edits on Have Sex with Your Kid. Even though you may want to, only administrators are allowed to delete articles. In the future, please only place a {{speedy}} on the page, and if needed delete explicit offensive content. Removing the rest of the content only makes it more difficult to determine the fate of the page, since has to be restored to view it.

Also, do not leave messages saying you have deleted the page, since you cannot delete it.

Your welcome:)

Thanks for the thumbs up!

Thanks for another thumbs-up :)

Hey there Amy K. Jones!

It appears that you may have forgotten to assign a license to the pictures you recently uploaded. I just wanted to verify whether you made these pictures yourself or got them from somewhere else:

http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Artbudgetsktch.png

If this is a screenshot of computer software, let me know so I can tag the image as Fair Use. If you got it from a search engine, like Google or Bing, or a website you found, please let me know which site - images that are copyrighted can't be used on wikiHow and have to be removed, but you can search for images we already have permission to use by entering search terms in the Search area instead of uploading using the "Browse" button. For more information, see Import Freely Licensed Images Into wikiHow. If you're searching for images on the web, check to make sure they have a "Creative Commons" or "Public Domain" license associated with them (might be found near the picture, or in the site's Terms of Use), rather than "All Rights Reserved".

Thanks again! If there's anything I can help you with now or in the future, don't hesitate to contact me or someone else in the wikiHow forums. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks for the thumbs up!

I liked the edit you made on Make a Lizard Habitat...Thanks!

P.S. - I gave you a thumbs up for this edit too!

Thanks for the reply back regarding the image. I've changed the license to {{screenshot}} so that it complies with wikiHow's Terms of Use ;)

Thanks for taking the time to help improve Dip Smokeless Tobacco!

Thanks for your edits on A woman's body is her temple.

Hello! I just wanted to thank you for all the power patrolling you've been doing, you are bringing down the RC backlog a lot!! You are also doing a great job patrolling recent changes; you patrol incredibly slowly and carefully!

Thanks for riding along on patrol today!

Amy! Don't change the way you patrol the wikis. You're giving more thought than most to your edits. I love it!

jane

Thanks for helping out with patrolling! It's trying to slip back up to 2000 today!

Thanks for the thumbs up :)

Thanks for the thumbs up!

I reverted the edit mentioned. When one "used a name", it typically means that someone has gotten into your account (which didn't happen). Because user pages, like articles, are editable to anyone, yes, it's kind of common to see other people edit user pages that are not theirs (and about 90-95% of the time, it's unwanted). If you see anything on your user page or talk page that you do not wish to have, please feel free to remove as you wish. If you need assistance with anything, you're always welcomed to ask ;)

Not a problem at all -- have a great day & weekend yourself :)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for riding along on patrol today!

Hi Amy K. Jones, I came across the edit/revert you made to Create a Bug Out Bag. Thanks for patrolling! But An Tn's edits seemed okay to me? I might be missing something though - I'll roll it back to her/his version for now, but can you take a look again and let me know what you think? Thanks!

Hi! I added the featured status to: Select a Safe Child Care Provider. Is the date on the discussion page right or wrong? When was it featured? 0.0 Good article BTW> :)

You are starting out great!!! I googled you, but wasn't sure if the person showing up was you. You are doing some awesome stuff!

Me too! I started editing here over 5 years ago and still love it!! Now if there are just more hours in the day. It's no big deal being googled as long as you have 'behaved' somewhat. You can google me...I pop up everywhere!

there was a teacher in Ohio that I saw...is that you?

I am learning them. I love learning graphic software. I have a forum that I hope will be used eventually. It is at http://www.graphicsrus.org. It is very low level right now, but I am hoping... If you check the articles I have written, quite a few of them are about that particular topic.

No prob! Thanks for the great work you've been doing around here! Super stuff!

Thanks for the Thumbs Up!

Thanks again for a Thumbs Up!

Thanks for your edits on Help Someone Overcome Marijuana Addiction. I and God hated you and your edit.

Hi Amy,

Thank you for covering up my RC Patrol error on Calm Down Quickly. I meant to rollback, but hit "mark as patrolled". I just now found the article (with Jeff's help) and am glad to see that the graffiti that was there is gone because you reverted the article. Good job, ... as always.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your Thumbs Up!

Thank you for "bouncing back" to me on my RC Patrol error on Calm Down Quickly.

I hope to collect, refine and share with the WH commuity "helpful tips" that helped you, personally, stop wasting time on WH. Any milestone realizations that you have had, if shared, will help others to contribute more heavily using the same effort/time expenditure. Gotta be a good thing!, I'm thinking. So, in this vein, I want to extend to you the invitation to share your "Quick Tips" with me via my UserTalk. I will ensure that worthwhile ideas are shared with the community, hopefully in a QT (quick tip) window on your UserPage. (This will cycle through QTs when clicked). I'm thinking that it might be good to have a "goto contact" for each tip right on the QT who could "flesh out" the details of that QT for everybody. In the end, I'm thinking, these QTs might coalesce into a uberhelpful article. (Just thinking aloud, here.) Upshot: Share with me helpful nugget and I will pass them on, multiplying your sharing for the benefit of all in the WH community. --It's the wiki way!

Thank you for the thumbs up! I've also noticed that many of your edits are very helpful; keep it up!

I have been struggling with writing an article on making a die with Blender with no luck. I don't suppose you would want to take a swing at it??

Started to try that one and it almost immediately referred to something I can't find!!! Different versions!

Hey, not sure if you noticed, but you were featured in this forum post. Congrats :)

Thanks for the thumbs up :)

I will keep on trying. Good to know it's not just me

Hi Amy! Amazing work on Build Intimacy by Talking Less. What a nice article, and brilliant topic!

Thank you very much. I try.

Hey there, just wanted to give a head's up that your article, How to Behave in Court was featured today! Congrats!!

Thank you for the thumbs up!

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that you were featured in Community Achievements this week. Congrats :)

Sweet article! I think you did a great job on Keep Personally Identifying Information from Appearing in Your Videos.

I am, thank you! Just a busy night, trying to make time for different wikiHow activities.

Thank you for your thumbs up and for helping out patrolling. I haven't seen you around much since I first came on the site.

Thanks for the thumbs up! :)

Thanks for your edits on Not Get Scammed on Craigslist when Buying a Used Car.

Hey Amy!

Nice to see you around - what a great edit there! Big cheers for that one! How's 2014 treating you so far?

Me again! :)

I wanted to check in on this one - great edit!. I did notice thought that it wrote over a redirect, rather than going on Spot a Sociopath itself, so I'm concerned there might be a bug or something happening there. Can you describe how you got to that page to edit it? Do you want to move the advice over to Spot a Sociopath so I can put the redirect back - or do you want me to move it for you? Either way works - just let me know!

Do let me know how you got there if you get a chance, so I can do some investigating and file a bug report if there's anything funky happening there! Thanks Amy!

Got it, that makes sense! Well I think your content is much better than what's there already on the existing title, so I've marked it for merging with Spot-a-Sociopath. It's totally up to you, but I think it'd be great if you did the merge, so that the history shows it was your content going in there! Great edit for both content and readability! :)

You know, I looked it over again and since that advice is all relationship-specific, I think a title change is actually better than a merge. Title-wise, the original was deleted as a duplicate, but the actual contents isn't really duplicate information (especially not after your great edit), so I've moved it here: Recognize if Your Partner is a Sociopath - do you think that works? Thanks again for the great expansion :)

PS Can retitle again if you have a better one in mind -- could be that Determine would be better than Recognize, or maybe something like Recognize Signs of Sociopathy in Your Partner, or something similar. So many choices - hehe!

What a great article -- Keep Personally Identifying Information from Appearing in Your Videos -- so relevant in the modern era of YouTube and Vine and all the rest! Thanks so much for writing it up!

I just chose your article on how to Keep Personally Identifying Information from Appearing in Your Videos to be a Rising Star. That means it is one of the best new articles on wikiHow. Congratulations, and thanks for the great contribution!

You're very welcome! It's nice to see your name around here again! How have you been?

Hey Amy - cool tip on Keep Personally Identifying Information from Appearing in Your Videos. Congrats on the rising star! :)

No thanks needed! Getting to recognize great articles with Rising Stars is the best part of my day :)

I can see how those tips might apply to more general relationships too. I'm not sure, but I'll ask Chris H - he's our resident title and search expert, so he'll probably have a good idea of what the best option would be. He has a knack for figuring out what people want when they're looking for given titles, and where different advice will best serve readers. Either way, it's great content, so we'll get it in the best place we can!

"You guys make editing so much fun" That is music to my ears! :)

It's been a chilly winter recently; we got our first major snowfall in 5 years in my area! But I'm not complaining!

Hey there!

Thanks for your edits on Apply Mineral Makeup.

Hi, Ciccio works with Italian wikiHow, is there a reason you reverted his edit?

Any time! Nice to see you around here :)

Good to see you patrolling!
Ron

Hi, Amy,

Sorry about the quicknote with little explanation....Ciccio does the interwiki links for Italian language wikiHow, so he changes titles pretty often, usually reflecting a title change so that it doesn't create double redirects, but occasionally, an article link is actually broken (it seems like the previous one was) and he replaced it with a good link. That doesn't mean his edits are inviolate.... it just pays to check them out if you are going to revert them...and people do seem to revert them pretty often.

Thanks!

Bob

Hi Amy, welcome back! Thanks for helping out with patrolling :) I just wanted to remind you that only Admins and New Article Boosters are allowed to remove {{Nfd|date=2014-04-06}} templates. We like to give everyone time to participate on the discussion page of an article that has been nominated for deletion. Please leave your comments there as well. For questions, feel free to contact me, an Admin or the Help Team. Thanks!

Amy,
You probably already know →this←, but just in case.
Ron

Hi Amy,
I saw →this← on Adelaide1230's talk page and wanted to chime in with my understanding that it does not matter who placed the nfd; only admins and boosters can remove the nfd, though, in some cases, the individual who placed the nfd can remove it. Bob says it is best to involve an admin before removing an nfd placed in obvious error.
Ron

No problem, Amy. It feels great to payback a little on behalf of the community.
Ron

Your welcome. I loved your edit so I gave it thumbs up.

No problem! Looks like Ron offered some great advice above :)

Hey again! Nice cleanup on How to Find a Missing Young Adult, when Police Tell You to Stop Looking :)

It was even featured in Community Achievements!

Hey Amy! I see that you made this rollback, but since this is the writer's guide for a non-English wikiHow project, the article can remain on wikiHow. In that case, I rolled back your edit, but feel free to put it back if I made a mistake. Let me know if you have any questions - I'm always happy to help. Thanks! :)

Hey Amy!

Just wanted to say happy wikiBirthday! Congrats on the milestone!

In light of your anniversary here, would you like to be in the "Meet a Community Member" widget? If so, go ahead and fill out this form. No worries if you don't, but if you do, I'd love to get a little about your wikiHow "story" up for others to see :)

And if so, could you upload an avatar of yourself? It doesn't have to be a close-up (for example mine doesn't show my face), but since the widget is about meeting people, visitors really enjoy seeing a photograph of the person in the widget. Congrats again on your wikiBirthday!

Hi Amy! Nice tip on addressing your mother in law. I did a little editing to fix the formatting. What do you think? http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Address%20the%20Issues%20with%20Your%20Mother%20in%20Law&diff=14205228&oldid=11486666

Hey there, I wanted to let you know that I just promoted your article on How to Improve Your Listening Skills. That means it's now fully published and searchable so that readers can find your good advice! Nicely done :)

Following up that automessage with a personal hello! nice to see you around Amy - hope you're doing well :)

Oh wow - just ran the wikiBirthdays; coincidentally, you returned just in time for yours. Congrats! :)

Hi Amy, welcome back! I haven't seen you in almost two years! So refreshing to see you again. Is everything busy busy on your end? :)

No prob Amy -- I know, life has a way of filling up, doesn't it? No worries at all - just neat to see your name pop up again! And offering solid advice, as usual - win win :)

I am doing well, thanks! Well, getting over a cold at this precise moment, but overall, doing very well. All ticking along here - some changes to the article review and boosting process, as you've probably noticed. If you have any questions about them, let me know - happy to help shed light on what's new!

Oh no worries at all- looks like you're doing fine, and all the underlying principles and policies remain the same! We've basically just implemented a system where new articles aren't fully live for readers until they're boosted. Another layer of quality control that'll hopefully help keep advice reliable and helpful :)

Sweet, I'm glad you like it! It was definitely an adjustment in thinking and look, but I agree it's for the better on quality. Onwards and upwards in our second decade!

Hi again Amy! I have some good news - you were featured in our weekly Community Achievements! Thanks for all you do around here, and keep up the awesome work :)

Question: why would you say no to encouragement in guard quality?

No offense given.

ok. Good reason.

So are you!

By the way, how are things going?

Awesome. Thanks for helping out, Amy~

Thanks for the thumbs up

Hi Amy, Thanks for the thumbs up the other day. :)

Thanks for your edits on Get Your Dog to Sleep. Cheers for helping out on patrol and weeding out these less helpful tips suggestions, Amy - much appreciated!

Heya Amy,

I had noticed when you shared your tips on improving listening skills that someone had marked it for possible merging with Develop Listening Skills. I don't think that's a real merge target because improving can be very different from developing, so I removed the tag back then and still think they're fine separate. But I was wondering, do you have any developing-focused tips to add to the other article? It's in pretty poor shape, so I thought it was worth asking! No worries if not, but I thought it might be up your alley to improve :)

Wow, congrats on being featured in our Community Achievements, Amy!

Thanks for your edits on Develop Listening Skills. Wow, fab! Thanks so much Amy - you've breathed new life into it. I'm going to go ahead and clear out the accuracy/helpfulness ratings from readers, because I'm sure they'll find it much more helpful now. Kudos to you :)

You too!

Thanks for the thumbs up!

Thanks for your edits on Guide People Younger than You. This was a great expansion! I made a couple more edits to that intro and put it out live for readers. Thanks so much for fixing it up, Amy :)

Wow Amy, what a stellar expansion you made on How to Guide People Younger than You! Congrats on being featured in our Community Achievements too! :)

Hey, just wanted to let you know that wikiHow mailed you a card. People in the US should be receiving them this week; anywhere outside the US will vary depending on the distance. I hope you like it :)

Hey there, I wanted to let you know that I just promoted your article on How to Become a Street Portrait Artist. That means it's now fully published and searchable so that readers can find your good advice! Nicely done :)

No problem, and any time! I thought it was a neat topic - I've never really thought about how those folks get their start! I forget - are you an artist (street or otherwise!)? Or did that one just strike your fancy to write about anyway?

Heheh, restaurant napkin doodler - love it. If you're the right kind of doodler, I'm sure you could sell them for the big bucks, on the street or elsewhere :)

Cheers for tackling it - definitely a great start, and as you said, it'll be neat to see it grow as folks add tidbits of advice over time!
