Welcome!

Hello Bobmack89x, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please don't add borderline and irrelevant links to articles' See Also sections, as you did at list of academic disciplines. The See Also section is for closely connected articles that help to understand the present article's topic, not a laundry list of loosely related things. -- Rbellin|Talk 19:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please slow down a bit

Bob,

It's best if you actually read first what you're editing. I need to revert what you are doing at confidence game and Bernard Madoff/ Please take the time to read some of our rules, e.g. WP:BLP. Slow and steady wins the race. Happy editing. Smallbones (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2009

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Culture of the 2000s (and other articles). Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 03:46, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.Template:Do not delete Yintaɳ 22:36, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note

May I echo Smallbones' concern above? I have reverted some of your edits because they were unsourced (see WP:S), blatant spam (see WP:SPAM), or your personal opinion (see WP:NPOV). I appreciate your work but if it doesn't meet the WP guidelines it will quickly be reverted/removed by others. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with WP's policies. If I can help, let me know. Thanks. Yintaɳ 22:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking

Hi. I thought it might be helpful for you to read WP:OVERLINKING to better know what, when and how much linking should occur with articles. Happy editing. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What generally should not be linked

(from WP:LINKING)

Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, it is generally inappropriate to link:

plain English words;
terms whose meaning would be understood by almost all readers;
items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations, religions, languages, common professions and common units of measurement (particularly if a conversion is provided);^[1]
dates (but see Chronological items below).

June 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding every Law enforcement agent in every articles. Thanks RayYung (talk) 00:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite sources

Hello, Bobmack89x. Please cite sources when adding information to articles, particularly statements such as The massacre is the deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in United States history, on or off a school campus. Otherwise, it will be removed per the neutal point of view policy. Thank you, momoricks 05:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia edits must be sourced

Hi there. Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Solntsevskaya bratva. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. QueenofBattle (talk) 22:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

Please become familiar with Wikipedia linking guidelines at WP:LINK. Specifically, linking common words such as "shoes" is unnecessary, and please make sure internal links direct the reader to the correct page. Thank you, momoricks 03:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, if a term in already included in the text of an article, it is unnecesary to provide a "see also" link for it. It also is against Wikipedia's manual of style. QueenofBattle (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just how are we defining criminal organizations here?

Hey bro, it's good you are editing and trying to improve Wikipedia (as am I, every now and then, not so much these days tho). I see you have made many new sections created in the List of criminal organizations article as of the last week or so. I've been reluctant to get involved (aside from when chunks are deleted) but do private investigators, governments and unethical companies really count? If governments counted this article has the potential to be extremely subjective. One could then call the Bush administration a criminal organization (if one had a left-wing inclination), but that's stretching way beyond the mobsters, drug dealers and gang members that have made up this list for the majority of it's lifetime. Not all terrorists are necessarily involved in organized crime (the ETA smuggles cocaine and robs banks, what does the Animal Liberation Front do?). I'm also unconvinced outlaw robber gangs count are formalised enough count as a criminal "organizations" (if they are large-scale systematic operations like this Veerappan guy, then they might. Bonnie and Clyde, no.). Thanks Nicknackrussian (talk) 20:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking, part 3

Concerning your edits to the article on The Hangover (film), I had to undo your edits. Please take a look at WP:OVERLINK, or just keep in mind that you shouldn't link random words. This is the third time you received a message concerning overlinking, consider this your first warning. --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 09:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of common measurements include:
- units of time (millisecond, second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year)
- metric units of mass (milligram, gram, kilogram), length (millimetre, centimetre, metre, kilometre), area (mm², etc.) and volume (millilitre, litre, mm³)
- imperial and US units (inch, foot, yard, mile)
- composite units (m/s, ft/s)
Links may sometimes be helpful where there is ambiguity in the measurement system (such as Troy weight vs Avoirdupois weight) but only if the distinction is relevant. In an article specifically on units of measurement or measurement, such links can be useful.
