Hi Aeverett... just so you know, if a case like New Jawa Order, just put a {{delete}} on the page, and sysops will be there on the double. Thanks for ID'ing it as fake though. I clued in once I saw that Anakin Skywalker was "killed" in the incidents of the story. BTW, if you ever need any help, just call on me or any other sysop, we'd love to help out. -- user:zanimum
'Advertising' is not a speedy deletion criterion under the WP:CSD - if you want this article gone (and I'm sympathetic to that) please go to WP:AFD. Thanks --Doc (?) 20:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
I redirected You're a looza, if you don't know what a palooza is... because it's not actually nonsense by Wikipedia definition. It's possible it'll be speedied anyway, you never know. My plan was, redirect it, wait for Palooza to be deleted, and then put the redirect up for speedy deletion due to not having a target. Friday (talk) 17:22, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
This user has continued to vandalize after your warning, and another person's. S/he defaced the main star wars page as seen in its history. Thanks. The Wookieepedian 13:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
If you oppose the deletion of the article, I suggest you record your vote as the others have on the page so that the admins can easily identify it. (That is, add a bullet headed by Keep formatted just like that, and add any applicable discussion.)

When you move an article that's on afd, could you please create a redirect from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NewTitle to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OldTitle instead of moving the afd discussion? My bot can account for redirected afd discussions automatically, but it can't detect moved ones, and there isn't really an easy way to make it do so. —Cryptic (talk) 17:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Let me start by stating that I did not put the reference to wikidweb in the article, but since noticing it, I have been watching it. Anyways, I would like to dispute "full of spam". "Noteworthy" is something that only time can tell, or other Wikipedia editors, but the wiki directory has many anti-spam measures, a small community of editors, and is fairly spam free. I also figure you're a bit biased, as you are a dmoz editor, but that also means you can talk about directories with some authority. I'm trying to overcome some (perceived, at least) shortcomings of dmoz in the wiki directory. So, as a dmoz editor, I'd love to get your input. Stop on by and check it out. :-) --Aerik 02:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
WHY are you trying to delete my vitally important article on NAVCRUIT 1133.101?? I realize that it proves that McNeight was rude and obnoxious when he vandalized my contributions---but surely TRUTH and ACCURACY are MORE important than protecting the 'pathetic' rantings of McNeight. (Note: McNeight called ME 'pathetic' first---so if this is a persoanl attack be sure to delete the jackassery of McNeight as well.) Thank you very little.

Consistent with your suggestion, for which I thank you, I included the respective overall ranks to the stats chart. Apropos of my source, I copied the statistics from the print versions of USA Today Sports Weekly and The Sporting News. The NFL's website, though, has a better compendium, and we perhaps will put a footnote to that. Joe 05:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. When editing Wikipedia, you have to have an edit summary. Furthermore, when reverting another user's edits you should comment on the talkpage to explain your reversion. Randomly referring to good-faith edits as vandalism is just childish. You will not succeed on WP:RFA by violating WP:3RR. Growup. 165.247.91.219 21:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
I removed your speedy deletion tag from this article. Although it is highly unlikely, a "famous theologian" (who would be turning 18 this year) is a claim of notability. As it stands, I'll leave it as a test case for Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 19:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
In the External Link section: I don't understand, if the Sudoku Programmers link can be there, then what's wrong with a link to a Sudoku Solver implemented using computer spreadsheet software? --Zero0w Feb 11 2006
Hi, you said if I had any troubles, well I may be just may not be correct here but, after stewing on this one for maybe about a week, I am still POed, and maybe need some feedback: I think Wikiwoohoo (I may have the user name spelled incorrectly since it would not link) is some sort of BBC proxy or sockpuppet or something which they are using to control content here, and I tripped over him (Grant is what editor claimed to be his name was which maybe is not even relevant here) while ham-handedly trying to do an article about a BBC News Anchor. I'm quite sure that she (the BBC News Anchor-Martine Croxall) took offense to my article. There may actually have been very little in the article that was offensive, and most of that (if it even was offensive) was in the talk section (and honestly there was no true intent on my own part to actually be offensive). Some of this stuff was perhaps relevant biographical info that I guess for some reason the BBC or the News Anchor itself appearantly doesn't want in Wikipedia. After some series of constant deletions from Wikiwoohoo, I finally saw what had happened to the article, and began a discussion. Simply from the tone of this editor I was pretty certain that I wasn't getting the chance to have any sort of say as to the content or tone. I tried very unhappily to at least figure from where this mess was going how to have a little give and take, but after trying a bit harder than I should have just plain gave up. It may be that I am not all that opposed to the BBC being happy about the articles here about their stuff. 'But, where do they get the right to control Wikipedia content? Maybe this is all hot air, however I was completely quashed, and that was intentional, and I was and am still quite angry about it. Maybe Martine Croxall deserved an appelation (didn't post it though perhaps admitting that I was considering doing so) that came up in my research (happy to share that tidbit if it will help, though it is a bad name based on insulting her name, and well, when I started out I liked her and didn't realize that she wasn't very nice, and really as far as starting a fight or throwing stones, all I want to do is keep her and the BBC from quashing others work [especially mine] even if it isn't perfect).152.163.100.130 17:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)still very inexpert here, I forgot to sign in, sorry, hopefully John5Russell3Finley 18:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't think the Dark Throne page should be deleted. Why is it being considered for deletion? -- Jowan2005
As a relatively new Wikipedian, I'd like to understand why you deleted the links on the Puzzle page as spam. The Grey Labyrinth and National Puzzlers' League links are non-commercial, and exist certainly as resources for those interested in puzzles (the latter, in particular, provides both solving resources and historical information). I'm not sure why they are substantively different than the rec.puzzles newsgroup. The two other links, Mind Bogglers and Puzzle Choice seem less informational and more like collections of non-notable puzzles, and I'd agree that they are less appropriately encyclopedic. (Including them sends the page down a slippery slope, where to be complete it would need to link to every page that provides collections of puzzles, which I would agree is not the intention here.) Thanks. --Glp 14:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

As an embassor of the nerd counterculture, I am deeply sorry that you have deleted my reference to the Nerd pride day in the May 25 page. I assume that you did what you had to do, as you thought that as a joke, or irrevelant. Nevertheless, this holiday is a fact. I have already written the article in the English wikipedia (not a realy good one, as I am new here, but I hope it will be improveved by others), but the article in the Spanish wikipedia already existed (although I do not know how to create the link from one wikipedia to the other) as "Día del Orgullo Friki". I ask you not to delete my contribution this time. And if you have to, please let me know what to do to avoid it for the next time. Thank you anyway. LeChimp 21:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Wrath...I have put it up to a vote on the Cumberland, Maryland talk page before I do anything, but I will add that as a choice. I honestly wish the links could have been left as was, but we will work something out.

I added this to the discussion on the New York Giants Talk Page - I didn't have time to go through all my old programs but apparently "retired" to the Giants doesn't mean someone else can't wear the number, or at least that was the case with the first two, Flaherty and Leemans.
Thanks for uploading Image:Rush (1991 film) cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I see your vote at the Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_December_15#Template:Dmoz. I agree with you.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dawn of the Black Hearts, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

A redirect to the Malleus Maleficarum is likely unsuitable, as although this film is titled The Witches Hammer, that is only a plot device and the film is about the characters and their mission. The goal is tertiary to the story. I have expanded that article and provided a number of genre specific reliable sources. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

This article was vandalized by 71.36.101.63. The reason it needed to be deleted was because the changes made by that person didn't conform to any guidelines and the tone was angry and biased. As of now it has been returned to the state it was in prior to the vandalism, which was approved by several administrators. I suspect that this topic will be the subject of similar attacks in the future, would it be useful as a precaution to put a temporary block on that IP address? Thanks so much, Hhtttt (talk) 17:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it- Hhtttt (talk) 19:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks again. As of today: The subject of the article has requested that personal information such as genealogy be omitted, because of an outstanding court case regarding a violent stalker, internet impersonator, and copyright violator. There is a fear that public records will be used to locate and potentially harm her or her family. In the interest of physical safety, all other names, aliases, and birth dates besides "Naomi Elizabeth" should be removed until after the trial. Hopefully this is possible. Hhtttt (talk) 16:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of unusual personal names. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unusual personal names (5th nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello Al E., I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 08:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi there,
I recently added what I thought was an appropriate addition to the Dunning-Kruger Effect page, but you have removed it. I was just wondering if you could tell me why; in what ways was it inappropriate?

Dear Sir or Ma'am:
I have received a Laundry-list of edits that Wikipedia thinks I've done without using proper procedures, or with possible malicious intent. I HAVE done two(2) edits personally, but they were only spelling corrections. This is, however, a military computer. That means that MANY folks have access to it (and, it shows as the same user/IP address ALL the time). My first edit was to a spelling error in the Castle-page, and my next (and only OTHER) edit was to a military air craft site, where I corrected a spelling error as well. I PERSONALLY would never be malicious or even just stupid in any web setting. YOU, however, have no way of seeing that from ME because every edit on this computer looks like it is the same person doing it. I will apologize for the ignorance of the ones who have caused the trouble. As for MYSELF, I will be getting an account on my PERSONAL laptop, and will follow the Rules for future edits (I have only EVER corrected spelling errors to date). Thanks for your diligence in keeping this as open a format as possible, and giving us "a chance to enhance!" :)
Very Respectfully

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Tommy Blake, which you proposed for deletion. I am leaving this message here to notify you about it. All urls do not need to be working in an article per WP:DEADLINK, and I added a few more sources and fixed one of the deadlinks. The article might meet WP:GNG. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to it. Instead, feel free to list the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.
