Hello! I have found a topic to write about, we and some classmates are writting about Bernardo Quintana Arrioja a mexican engineer who made many contributions to Mexico and Latin America. I would truly appreciate if you could help me with this so it wont be erased and to be a good article.
Thank you!

Hi, I would like to clear something up, good articles are not made quickly and are usually older articles about 1 year old at the earliest. You can check out WP:AFC to write and submit your article there, then an experienced editor will come around and review it. If it is good it becomes an article and rarely gets deleted. Thanks.

Hi, I am wondering why you went ahead and moved this article already. The request has only been open a few hours. Did you think it was uncontroversial? –CWenger (talk) 02:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I actually did think so. Hazard-SJ ± 02:12, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, can you close the move request then? I have never done it. –CWenger (talk) 02:16, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
I did support you in your RfA and I wish you good luck. however, you might need some more edits since you have less then 3000 edits across one year of experiance. –BuickCenturyDriver 19:02, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the support, but I will need support from more of the community. Hazard-SJ ± 19:09, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, doesn't look like you'll pass this time, the nomination already has 7 opposes. –BuickCenturyDriver 21:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Might be worth withdrawing it, it looks really good at future RFAs if you can tell which way the wind is blowing. I am not going to formally oppose there but I think think you should take the opposes heart and see about doing follow up in another six months? I think you have great potential but I agree that WP:NOTNOW is perfectly applicable. The Resident Anthropologist(talk)•(contribs) 23:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Your RfA
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but I've closed your RfA as unsuccessful as the consensus at the RfA was that the nomination was premature. Those voters who supplied a useful rationale for their opinion seemed to feel, perhaps justly, that you would benefit from a little more experience before the community can be fully comfortable giving you the admin bit. My personal advice, as someone who fell flat on his face at his first RfA, is not to take it too hard and to brush yourself off and carry on being the productive editor that you are. Of course, experience in admin areas mixed with some helathy creation and improvement of content would stand you in good stead at a future RfA, but don't get fixated on pleasing RfA—do what you enjoy doing, and if that leads you to areas where you would have good use of a mop, give it six months (maybe a bit longer, but there's no hard-and-fast rule) and try again. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you need anything. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I will use what I have seen to improve (which is why I didn't bother to close it myself). My spirits have only slightly fell, but I already know how hard I would have been judged (per other users' RfAs and what I have read). Hazard-SJ ± 00:58, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll gain more support on the next try. Just wait a few months. –BuickCenturyDriver 07:01, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the encouragement! Hazard-SJ ± 00:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
A beer on me!
I'm sorry to see that you experienced the ever-brutal pack of wolves at RfA, at a time when they'd been starved of someone to rip apart for a little while. It was more down to quantity of contributions rather than quality. That is no bad thing at all, and you should take pride in the fact that you've been a very helpful and constructive Wikipedian. My advice? Sit back and relax with a pint or two, and then if you feel like it, resume your great editing. If not, then there's many more pints where this came from... ;) ;) ;) OrphanWiki 11:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Sip, sip, sip!
Thanks for the drink, encouragement, and advice! Hazard-SJ ± 00:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I posted a new notable alumni on the Tarporley High School Wikipedia page, but it was removed. I was wondering whether I did something wrong with my post? This is my first time posting to wikipedia and I would be greatful for any feedback / explanation on why the edit was removed. Thank you in advance. Vicsfanjunk (talk) 06:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC) (I think this is how I am supposed to sign these messages....)
Hello. Firstly, you only listed one person. This is inadequate for a section. Also, whether or not the person is notable, we have on verification, such as a reliable source. Hazard-SJ ± 02:45, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello
Hello Hazard-SJ, Hazard-SJ has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
Hi! I just learned how to use this. I want to make new friends here.
Thanks for the smile! Hazard-SJ ± 05:40, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
A brownie for you!
Hello Hazard-SJ! I hope you accept this brownie as an amicable greeting from a fellow Wikipedian, SwisterTwistertalk 03:52, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Yum! That was delicious! Thanks! Hazard-SJ ± 03:54, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Speedies
Hi, I've removed the speedies at Mohammed Nasserr and Mohammed Ali Ayed, as I believe both articles credibly assert notability. If you disagree, you could prod them or take them to AFD. Both needed links to the team (and a reference) to show notability, and I've let the article's creator know about this. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 04:38, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
I am okay with that. Hazard-SJ ± 23:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Canadian Income Tax Edits
You accused me of making "unconstructive edits" and "vandalizing" a Wikipedia entry without backing up your claim. I would appreciate it if you would elaborate. --Iwoj (talk) 02:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
I sent you a talkback to the talk page, where there are comments waiting for you. You may have a good faith, but the edits are, according to WP:MOS and syntax, unconstructive. Hazard-SJ ± 03:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, I am certainly editing in good faith. You've cited WP:MOS twice now, and have yet to respond to the question of what in the manual you are objecting to. I do not see anything in it that restricts my addition of spreadsheet formulae to the Canadian income tax page. --Iwoj (talk) 03:11, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Which part of the Manual of Style are you referring to? --Iwoj (talk) 05:41, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
The general thing. Hazard-SJ ± 02:17, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
problem with thetestwiki.org
I cant create an account on thetestwiki.org! Error message:
Your username or IP address has been blocked. The block was made by DNSBL. The reason given is Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the DNSBL used by The Test Wiki..
Start of block: 05:31, 21 September 2011
Expiry of block: infinite
Intended blockee:
You can contact DNSBL or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the 'e-mail this user' feature unless a valid e-mail address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 98.244.123.227, and the block ID is #0. Please include all above details in any queries you make.
Im not using a proxy, and I was wondering if you could remove it from the blocklist. Ill check back here for a reply soon. mysterytrey(talk) 05:48, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mysterytrey. It is not possible to remove it from the blocklist, as you were not manually blocked by an admin, but rather, by recently added DNSBLs. However, we can overcome this problem. I could create an account for you, sending the password to your email. I will, however, need your email address to do so. You may choose to send me your email address via the Special:EmailUser/Hazard-SJ page here on Wikipedia. Please leave me a message if you want to use this option. Hazard-SJ ± 16:04, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Hazard-SJ. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.mysterytrey(talk) 01:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the message. Yes, the email was private. I was about to attempt creation, but the "By email" feature seems to not be enabled there. I am therefore giving you two options:
You create your own account on a more active and less restrictive test wiki, testwiki.org
OR
I create the account to thetestwiki.org, filling in a random password myself, then manually emailing you the password.
I would, however, recommend the latter (last) one. Hazard-SJ ± 01:42, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Ill do the second one, as testwiki.org had problems (which was only recieved in code :(). mysterytrey(talk) 03:34, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Oops! I wasn't logged in :( Hazard-SJ ± 02:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
I created the account while logged out. That is why i couldn't do it by email. Also, can you edit that wiki? If not, I'll have to make you an admin first. Hazard-SJ ± 03:47, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
I assumed when you said create an account for me youd do what you just did. If you want to you can delete this account, log in, and create another. http://www.thetestwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Is_this_page_a_test%3F&oldid=2711 edit and create new pages. PS plainlinks is hard to do on your talk page. BTW I will request for adminship soon.mysterytrey(talk) 04:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Okay. The DNSBLs only work for IPs, not users, it seems. As for plainlinks, <span class="plainlinks">link</span> is the format. Hazard-SJ ± 04:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to bug you, but I have absolutely no idea what you meant by the reason given. Could you explain?--90.217.236.107 (talk) 18:57, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Please add more content. Hazard-SJ ± 18:29, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy category renaming
Hi there! Your work at Categories for discussion/Speedy is appreciated. However, you shouldn't rename categories before a full 48 hours has passed, and you also need to use the process through WP:Categories for discussion/Working, which has Cydebot perform the moves while maintaining attribution for the categories in question - there is an existing bot that does this work. I have stopped the bot pending resolution of this - please discuss at WT:CFD - The BushrangerOne ping only 20:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but it was per TFD. Hazard-SJ ± 03:11, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Please stop your bot
Please stop your bot from changing {{Infobox AFL player}} to {{Infobox AFL biography}}. Those two templates have not yet been merged and by making this change you are effectively removing useful information from the infoboxes with no net benefit. Jenks24 (talk) 03:45, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Stopped. Sorry. Hazard-SJ ± 03:47, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Please do not subst the {{Infobox Indian jurisdiction}} template as you did at Mysore and Mhow. Substing the template make it very difficult to update the information in the template and means that future improvements to the template will not be reflected in the article. —Stepheng3 (talk) 23:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Do not revert the page again. Failure to heed the warning will result in a block. —Dark 06:41, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject banners
Hi, when adding WikiProject banners to talk pages, please put them inside any {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} or {{WikiProjectBanners}} that may already be on the page, and also put the new banner on a separate line. It's best if the new project banner goes at the bottom of the existing stack of banners as well, just in case there are any already there which must be first (such as {{WikiProject Biography}}). See your edit and my fix. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I apologize, the plugin to fix that was giving error and making the bot timeout within a minute after each start, sometimes without even editing. I'll see if it is possible to fix any possible others. Hazard-SJ ㋡ 01:07, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Bot status has been granted
Hazard-Bot has been granted bot and sysop permission at testwiki. Regards. --Devunt (talk) 09:33, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out why the bot did this. It makes editing close to impossible, ruining future update efforts. Is there some consensus I missed? The delete result was dependent on merging into Template:Infobox settlement, which did not occur yet. --Muhandes (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
I apologize for that error. That was a trial edit, so that is okay. Hazard-SJ ㋡ 19:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
As long as that's the single one, or all the rest were fixed, that's not a problem. Best regards and happy botting. --Muhandes (talk) 18:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Demi Lowato. Since you had some involvement with the Demi Lowato redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). JayJayTalk to me 23:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
