Missing map legend

I looked at a map at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashotah,_Wisconsin#/media/File:Waukesha_County_Wisconsin_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Nashotah_Highlighted.svg It has no legend. It has four colorations: red, white, and gray, plus gray and white 'checkerboard.' Regards, 184.58.183.93 (talk) 14:45, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maxim Power edits

Hello, and thank you for your comments on my edit to the Maxim Power page. Maxim has sold nearly all of the assets currently listed on their page and it needs updating to reflect the current state of the company. How do you suggest I go about doing that? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TylerMitton (talkcontribs) 19:06, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can update it, just be sure it doesn't violate point of view restrictions. DemocraticLuntz (talk) 17:58, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sculptor Thompson Dagnall

I have reinstated my addition, with a citation. TimMonksfiekd (talk) 23:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And if you have the time perhaps you could remove the inadvertent underline. TimMonksfiekd (talk) 23:58, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

duplicate references

Hey there! Looks like many of the edits you've made in the last 12 hours or so to "modify historical population" have caused duplicate reference definition errors on the pages you've been changing. Are you using a certain tool to make these edits? The errors end up disrupting the referencing for the article. I'd normally fix these problems and move along, but you've made dozens of such edits, each resulting in a new error.

What do you think is the best way to clean up these errors? -- Mikeblas (talk) 20:14, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry I thought I’d fixed that problem. Will get to it shortly 2601:152:4200:5C20:819C:C3F1:DEB8:369E (talk) 21:07, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-automated edits

Howdy hello! Wanted to leave a friendly reminder. When you are using semi-automated tools, such as scripts, you are responsible for the edits you make. If the tool makes an error, it is not the tool that has made it, it is you. If you make errors, and do not fix them, you are responsible. Misuse of tools may lead to them being revoked, or leave you blocked (which would be no good!). I say this because you recently made several hundred edits using the CenPop script, and a fair number of them introduced errors that now have to be cleaned up. Remember, even when using scripts, quality, not quantity, matters most. Take an extra second to review a page after you've used a script; it saves you and others heartache. Smooth sailing, CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 21:05, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, as a side note: its good practice to link the script you're using in the edit summary. The script seems to leave a summary mentioning the script, but not linking to it, could you fix that? Thanks. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 21:08, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On the Battle of Firaz article

I understand your concern, but that figure of 150,000 Byzantines and Sassanids is too false to stand, whoever wrote it. I know a good link to Edward Gibbon - but I am not quite sure about how to go about it.
