[[Image:Baseball (crop).jpg|25px]] Hi. As a courtesy to other users and editors of baseball articles, please update all statistics in the infobox of [[Major League Baseball]] player articles, as well as the date. This way, other editors know when the statistics are current or if they need to be updated. Only updating one or two statistics or not changing the date{{#if:Ryan Howard|, such as you did to [[:Ryan Howard]]}}, makes the information [[WP:V|unverifiable]] and incorrect. If you have any questions, please let me know by leaving a message on my [[User talk:Killervogel5|talk page]]. Thanks!<!-- User:Killervogel5/Baseballstats-1 --> [[User:Killervogel5|<span style="color:black">'''KV5'''</span>]] <font size="1">([[User_talk:Killervogel5|<span style="color:navy">Talk</span>]] • [[WP:PHILLIES|<span style="color:maroon">Phils</span>]])</font> 12:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC) |

==MfD nomination of [[User:Zaxby]]== |
|||
[[User:Zaxby]], a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for [[WP:MfD|deletion]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Zaxby ]] and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). You are free to edit the content of [[User:Zaxby]] during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.<!-- Template:MFDWarning --> [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 14:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC) |

==Special:Export== |
|||
You can export your page by going to [[Special:Export]] and typing in User:Zaxby in the large box. If you want the entire history of the page, you can uncheck the first box. There are many wiki sites which would host your userpage, [[Wikipedia:Alternative_outlets#Directory_of_alternatives]]. Although they probably don't allow you to import your page, but you could ask someone on those pages to upload the information for you. |

I know how tramatic it can be to lose your work on wikipedia, I hope this helps. [[User:Ikip|Ikip]] ([[User talk:Ikip|talk]]) 20:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC) |

==Sourcing== |
|||
For one thing, it's better to go to the [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article6797774.ece original article] rather than the potted Fox News report. But this stuff really shouldn't be included in the article until it can be sourced from the [http://www.amazon.co.uk/William-Golding-Wrote-Lord-Flies/sim/0571231632/2 book itself] (which is supposed to be published today, I believe). Secondhand accounts by journalists may or may not accurately reflect what the book actually says. [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 14:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC) |

== Administrator's Noticeboard == |

Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}}. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] regarding Sockpuppetry. {{#if:User:Zaxby again, now possible sockpuppetry|The thread is [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Zaxby again, now possible sockpuppetry|User:Zaxby again, now possible sockpuppetry]]. }}{{#if:|The discussion is about the topic [[:{{{1}}}]].}} <!--Template:ANI-notice--> Thank you. --[[User:The359|<font color="#004400"><sup>III</sup>V<sub>IX</sub></font>]] ([[User talk:The359|<font color="#004400">Talk</font>]]) 02:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
== Speedy deletions == |
|||
Please use the templates at [[WP:CSD]] when tagging articles you think meets the criteria for speedy deletion. The {{tl|mfd}} template is not supposed to be used for articles but for other pages (like those starting with "Wikipedia:" and whatnot).

==I suggest you slow down== |
|||
I also suggest you concern yourself with more pressing concerns, such the current discussion of your account and behaviour at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Zaxby again, now possible sockpuppetry]]. [[User:The359|<font color="#004400"><sup>III</sup>V<sub>IX</sub></font>]] ([[User talk:The359|<font color="#004400">Talk</font>]]) 03:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:[[:Template:mfd]] is useless if you do not bother to fill out the deletion entry, which you never attempted to do. You clearly are not reading instructions and do not know what you are doing, either because you're in such a hurry to revert edits or some other reason. You also have made no attempt to renominate the user page for deletion. |
|||
== Source? == |
|||
I don't understand. What source? A source that confirms that a civil war in Ingushetia is taking place? Well in that case you should question the existence of the article itself and not me putting a link to the related articles section. [[User:IJK Principle|IJK_Principle]] ([[User talk:IJK Principle|talk]]) 02:29, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:Erm, what? You speak on behalf of the whole Wikipedia? Who are you? Some sort of überadmin? Also what do you mean by providing references? I'm putting a link to another article on Wikipedia, not stating something that is not sourced/referenced. If you have a problem with the "Civil war in Ingushetia" article, you should put a tag [[Civil war in Ingushetia|there]] instead of deleting my link. I also see you have been accused of violating Wikipedia policies, you better not be a vandal. [[User:IJK Principle|IJK_Principle]] ([[User talk:IJK Principle|talk]]) 02:39, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |

==Learn the basics== |

The {{tl|MfD}} tag is for use on stuff <u>outside</u> the (article) namespace. To get rid of [[Robert d. neace]], you use {{tl|db}}, {{tl|prod}} or {{tl|AfD}} as appropriate. In the case of MfD and AfD you must also create a discussion page and add it to the appropriate discussion list. — [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] ([[User talk:RHaworth|Talk]] | [[special:contributions/RHaworth|contribs]]) 02:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |

|||
If the page u sent in ur response was the page in question, I've never edited it. And the only page I've edited in the last few minutes was powerfuff girls, and it was because a few sentances were unsourced and OR.[[User:Largoss|Largoss]] ([[User talk:Largoss|talk]]) 04:10, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
I was actually trying to delete the sugar thing. It was there before I started editing. Other parts seemed OR so i might have left it but I wanted to cut it myself. Pure speculation on someones part.[[User:Largoss|Largoss]] ([[User talk:Largoss|talk]]) 04:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |

== Throwing a Grable == |
|||
Hi! I've removed your {{tl|nonsense}} tag from [[Throwing a Grable]], because the page is in plain English, not incoherent text or gibberish, and therefore does not meet the [[WP:CSD#G1|G1 criterion for speedy deletion]].

|||
Dear Zaxby! |
|||
Thank you for your information! |
|||
I understand. |
|||
And I can also state that all the infromation for the page I created is strictly objectve, not a word of subjective thoughts. |
|||
I was very cautious. ONLY facts: awards, plyas directed and citing theatre revies. |
|||
Please let me know how to proseed. |
|||
And thank you again for you kind help!!! |

you're right, there were some shockers, sorry. |

Would you support my expansion of "fuel economy" vs "fuel consumption" if I fixed them? |

Thanks, but I should point out that I'm not a good editor - while I am a thoughtful and well-researched editor, I'm an infrequent Wikipedia editor, so I'm unfamiliar with the conventions and tools (like signing comments!)

== Welcome template == |

If you are going to continue to welcome new editors, I recommend you use a template such as [[Template:Welcome]]. This will make the welcomes consistent and spelled correctly.

{{unblock reviewed|1=reason I have been using good faith in my edits, welcoming new users, and I worked firmly to remove vandalism from articles, but something as simple as my user page got me blocked. I thought I had Freedom of Speech rights when it came to something like my user page. I decorated my user page the way I liked it and some people objected. I had a large number of vandals blocked through AIV. I want the admins here to take a look at my user page before it was deleted and look though for it for themselves and decide if anything I put on there was vulgar or disruptive. I never posted any cuss words, or anything detrimental for that matter about anyone. I should not be blocked and deserve to be unblocked. I have First Amendment rights under the Constitution to post what I want on my user page. I know there are some exceptions. Nothing vulgar or anything nasty on it, which I did not have.
