Climate additions
[edit]While I agree it is of some use to know the climate classification code for various towns and census-designated areas in California, please spend a bit of time to write a full sentence for each addition. For example, this is what you have put on Big Bend, California: "Area has a Köppen Climate Classification of Csb, which is a dry-summer subtropical climate often referred to as "Mediterranean"." No citation was provided for your edit. Please take the extra time for each entry to write full stand-alone sentences and provide a citation for your statement on climate classification type. Checking your contributions of late, I see you are using this "Area has..." format on multiple pages, please take more time to write a full descriptive sentence for each town and to provide citations as you do in some towns, but not in others. I have rewritten the Markleeville, California entry as an example: "According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Markleeville has a Hot-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[1]" I hope this helps! Ellin Beltz (talk)
- Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention, I definitely agree. I'm currently going back through my recent edits and making some amendments. Cheers! RichardMills65 (talk) 18:11, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Books by Jorge Cáceres (poet)
[edit]Dear Richard,
Some time ago, you kindly added the following list of books in the subject article, which was really helpful, thank you.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any trace of these books on (even) the Spanish Amazon website. In the eventuality that you might actually own physical copies of the books you listed, please may I ask that you consider updating other details about these books, such as publisher names and locations; and, for the more recent publications, their ISBN numbers?
Please don't worry about the formatting, as I can take care of that in due course, and will therefore keep the subject article on my watchlist. Very many thanks in advance for your continued assistance with these, if at all possible, Richard.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 23:43, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
