Backronym example[edit]

Hello, DavidForthoffer. You recently added an example to the page Backronym. Consensus is to limit the number of examples on that page, but particularly significant examples that are in wide circulation may be added with reliable sources. I have moved your example to Talk:Backronym. If you believe that the example should be added to the page, please comment there. Thanks and happy editing.

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:11, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. FYI, I caught most of the unsigned Talk posts myself and edited them to sign in with ~~~~. DavidForthoffer (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard[edit]

Hello. You may or may not be aware, but in your latest revision on Dispute resolution noticeboard, you deleted a request by Guy Macon to move the description of SMP0328 to the discussion section at the bottom and sign it, deleting the note afterwards, without actually moving the description. This entire text

SMP0328 has great credentials on Wikipedia concerning law. Too bad that does not translate into civilized discussions. I don't have those credentials, but I do operate transparently, try to discuss issues, and try to give legal rulings with direct quotes from the U.S. Supreme Court as much as possible. Note: After viewing the last 100 changes and viewing the Talk page, it seems SMP0328 has done a great job keeping spam out, though not contributing much in the way of content. I would like to improve the content.

does not belong under Users involved. Please move it to Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution discussion before deleting his note. Thank you! θvξrmagξ^contribs 07:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. DavidForthoffer (talk) 09:25, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also had noticed that the deleted Guy Macon post had been reinstated within the previous two hours. So I just followed Guy's request (which was the same as θvξrmagξ's). DavidForthoffer (talk) 15:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
