Chrystia Freeland[edit]

HI, @iksnyrk, just a courtesy note to say that I've raised a point about your reference at the talk page to the subject at Chrystia Freeland. All the best, Emmentalist (talk) 20:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A cheeseburger for you![edit]

Thanks for this edit. I had just been looking at this paragraph last night, and it really annoyed me. I thought to delete that Hollywood Casino sentence altogether (after all, is that the first thing one needs to know about Aurora?) but hesistated, because I am unfamiliar with the business, and thought that maybe it's a big thing and I just don't know about it. Still, it rankled. Both your edit (moving it back a bit) and your rationale (POV) were spot on. Good job. HuskyHuskie (talk) 11:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

I realize I never thanked you for the Barnstar that you gave me back in July, so I apologize for it being so late, but thank you very much.Packerfansam (talk) 05:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback[edit]

Hello, Iksnyrk. You have new messages at Sphilbrick's talk page.
Message added SPhilbrick (Talk) 03:24, 2 February 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]

Here's what I did. I obtained a picture File:PJ Derrick Wilson and Jamel Fuentes.jpg (Just so there is no confusion, while the file is NOW labeled with Derrick Wilson's name, that's because I had it renamed. It originally had Jimmy Butler's name.)

Then I did a search to find out who #33 at Marquette was in 2011. I searched for "marquette basketball roster 2011" and opened this site

You can see why I thought #33 in 2011 was Jimmy Butler.

I saw there was an article about Jimmy Butler, but no photo. So I cropped the image, and used it.

I was wrong, you probably know why, but I missed it.

That is not vandalism.

Don't EVER do that again.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 03:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, no problem. Let's hope we both don't make the same mistakes again. Cheers. Iksnyrk (talk) 03:51, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let's start over[edit]

You are new, and doing a little bit of vandalism patrol. Whether explicitly, or just in passing, I can't tell. It is extremely useful to know whether an editor is brand-new or experienced. While we aren't supposed to cut someone slack if they've been around awhile, if they've been around awhile, it is more likely that a error is an innocent mistake. Plus, if someone is very new, one ought to take care to explain more than if they've got some experience.

I urge you to go to Preferences → Gadgets and enable Navigation popups. It has MANY benefits, but one useful one is you can hover over a signature and instantly see how long they've been registered. It has links to get to their contributions, and other useful links. Plus, hover over any blue link, and you get a sneak preview of the content.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 04:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

re: PAL-PAC Article[edit]

It's totally fine to use non-English sources. We need independent, reliable sources to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (organizations). PRWeb doesn't count (paid service), nor does any source self-published bythe organization. Out of current sources, 5 and 6 are ok, but they mention the organization in passing. In fact, as things stnad, I don't think the article would survice a deletion process. Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages, we cover notable organizations. Was it discussed, not in passing, by any reliable (independent) media? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:24, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Poles in the United States[edit]

Given your high fluency in Polish, I am reaching out to you in regards to the History of the Poles in the United States article. It has no Polish equivalent, and any time you can spend towards translating in any capacity would be much-appreciated. I would be more than happy to help any way that I can.

Thank you! Pola.mola (talk) 20:07, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alert[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Proposed deletion of PAL-PAC[edit]

The article PAL-PAC has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The sources currently in the article do not provide the organization with significant coverage sufficient to meet WP:NORG, and a WP:BEFORE search finds only trivial mentions and coverage of unrelated topics (like Pac-Man).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
