Thanks :)

...for this edit summary. The usual recommendation is to be boringly neutral when reverting vandalism, with a comment like 'rv vandalism', since anything else can tend to encourage vandals. Nevertheless, this one made me smile. -- Solipsist 18:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page! Mr. Lefty 21:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

I noticed that you tagged the page Pro Per Inc. for speedy deletion with the reason "Unencyclopedic, little more than a business pitch for the subject's legal service, blatant POV issues, no context as to why he's important enough to be in an encyclopedia". However, "Unencyclopedic, little more than a business pitch for the subject's legal service, blatant POV issues, no context as to why he's important enough to be in an encyclopedia" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use one of our other deletion processes, proposed deletion or articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle 23:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

YW

No problem. :) --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 05:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

copyright vio of USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73)

Hi, I noticed that you tagged this article as a possible copyright violation. It is my belief that this particular article does not qualify as such because its information can all be found at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/g1/gambier_bay.htm Which happens to be a public domain source, since it is produced by the United States Navy. I've also raised my concern on the article's talk page, Talk:USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73). Thought you should know. Thanks -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Disney

No problem! I was just about to fix that :) Qtoktok 21:14, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Roland Clark

Hi, The article was dire - I sympathise with you wanting to just delete it! And I actually have no idea whether it's really verifiable or notable - a quick Google showed he exists and was in some of the groups, so I thought it best just to take the worst bits out (which didn't leave a lot) Dlyons493 Talk 20:38, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem - it's quite obvious you were acting in good faith. I think you need to change the nom text at the top now. Tyrenius 22:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Scopes Trial

Has this article been a "featured" article recently? How does one recommned articles for featured?

• According to the talk page, it hasn't yet. As for how to nominate pages for featured, I'm not sure how to do it yet. Sorry I can't be of more help :( Pat Payne 13:59, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Reminder...

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 02:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hunt the Wren Day

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Hunt the Wren Day, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Hunt the Wren Day. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

The Sub Wars

Yeah, I know the history with the article. I didn't want to delete because technically this one didn't have a speedy criterion backing it up—you could argue recreation, but it wasn't the same content that was speediable before. But even as anal as I try to be about speedy rules, deleting it straight out was probably just as well. Thanks! -- SCZenz 23:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe this artical shouldn't have been deleted either. I have read the rough draft and it is currently in the process of being published. I agree with what you said about the artical in question. I will be sure to let the author and 07holsombd about you kind view.--Vader's Fist 16:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I am glad that at least you didn't want to delete this article. Why did you do it though if it didn't conflict with any rules. I demand you put me in contact with the person who made this decision.--Jar Jar 16:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed a prod, not an AfD notice

From {{prod}}: "You may remove this message if you ... object to deletion of the article for any reason." 71.132.143.158 22:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey

It's not big, we all have each other's backs. Yanksox 18:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

your warning for me not to make personal attacks

My reply on his talk page was in response to him saying on my talk page: "Why do you support this article so much. Rap has not helped save anyone. It is not important. Besides, you sound like an idiot. I believe you should change your ideas about life, before you do something stupid. --Jar Jar 16:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)". I urge you to consider context in the future, --Urthogie 08:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Legio VI Ferrata

You modified Legio VI Ferrata article. Could you please provide references? Mine [1] tells a completely different story.--Panairjdde 13:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello. It seems that the source you used is not so "reliable", since tells a new story without providing references [2]. I'm reverting your edits: for the moment it is better to stick with the almost unanimous version. Best regards.--Panairjdde 09:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Good catch

That uncited, off-topic line about Stan Lee's political contributions had all the earmarks of right-wing fulminating. -- Tenebrae 22:25, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You are wrong

Non notable? Eduardo Sato is the most famous gay Japanese poet ever. He won the 2001 Xinglaong award for Christ sakes! Do some research before you act next time. NickTellis 23:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey FatPayne, I noticed you claim you "wish you had a girlfriend." Well, put down the cheetos and talk a walk you disgusting blob. Nscheffey^(T/C) 23:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
