All your edits are fantastic, thank you for taking the time to fix up all the real-world info on those location pages. Devastating DaveZIP ZAP RAP 06:22, November 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Impressive, your work and visiting the notable FNV locations! You will be our best source for the real world references, I believe. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 22:21, November 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. It really shows your dedication to it! I remember back in the day, around 2011, someone else did more or less the same and posted it in the blog. Not as extensive as you though, just the area in and directly around New Vegas. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 22:31, November 12, 2019 (UTC)

Mountain Springs
That's ok. You would have to click on the triangle next to Mount Bell Springs's Edit button, choose Rename and then you would move the history of the page with it. Jspoel  20:55, February 11, 2020 (UTC)
 * On Devil Peak you mean? That's good to hear. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 23:51, February 11, 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your Vault 11 and Boulder City edits
Hello, I am commenting here today to raise a complaint on the editorial style in which you posses and have utilized to edit the pages described upon in the titular articles. I disagree with the reasoning of the Boulder City real world background information simply being described to as "superfluous", and the changing of wording to be increasingly "clarified" in the Vault 11 and Boulder City articles. To put it simply, to one such as myself, it seems as though it is being simplified for little to no reason rather than sheer removal. Whilst my editing style prefers the addition of information to articles, I am usually not opposed to the removal of information so long as it is appropriate, and improves the article rather than acting as a detriment to it. However, as with the reason I am contacting you here now, that is not the case in these several instances. For example, the removal of the limestone supply quotation and second real life paragraph on the Boulder City page removed key elements to the town's background and present state. The Vault 11 removal of the second section and editing out key events in exchange for simplistic paraphrases and minor informative sentence structure also serve as a detriment rather than an improvement. While I urge you not to see this as a berating of your distinctive edits, which adhere to wiki policy in very skillful ways, I also would like you to go about them in a more acceptable manner in the future.

 * I read and appreciate your comments regarding the editing style I use. Even feedback that is negative is important to me, so I can improve and in turn, improve the work I am doing on the location entries. I want to assure you that I spend a great deal of time thinking about the best way to convey information, writing and re-writing, researching, and working diligently to strike a balance between was is required and what can be trimmed for clarity. I do truly care about the integrity of my work and the impact it has on the improvement of the collective information. That being said, I can and will admit that I err on the side of removal, which upon reading your comments, is something I realize I need to change. Sometimes I struggle with what information coming from "the real world" is necessary to include for "in-game", especially in cases where I can not find evidence to suggest they were one and the same. Please accept my apologies. You will see my work in the future reflect a more restrained approach, and I appreciate you calling my attention to the need for me to do so. - Kdarrow (talk) 23:57, February 11, 2020 (UTC)
