:You're very much welcome. I remember being a newbie and not knowing the "rules" of Wikipedia. If I had my contributions taken away immediately, I would be angry too.

You can leave any questions or comments for David1217 here. Thanks!
Hi, I've placed a comment on your submission - while the article is reasonably worded, it is still very vulnerable; but the NYTimes article alluded to - if supported with a direct citation - should be enough to convince folks that there's enough notability here not to delete it.

I would like an admin to close a requested move at Talk:Mission: SPACE (disclosure: I requested the move). It has been much more than the required seven days, and I believe there is consensus to move the article from Mission: SPACE to Mission: Space, with six supports and zero opposes.

Hi there David,
I'm Josh. I'm new to being a Wikipedia account holder, but not new to Wikipedia itself. I edited 007 Legends, and there was a message saying that there was something wrong with it, but I don't know why. Could you help me out? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshdeese93 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi David1217. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ItsZippy(talk • contributions)18:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Port Perry High School
Hello David1217! As you supposed, I'm entirely new to the Wikipedia-ing. At any rate, you send me a message saying my edit to the Port Perry High School page may have been dubious in nature. While it may have appeared so, (as I up and deleted a big gob of it), the large section I deleted is actually duplicate text that appears just under it. Would I have been better to take a different approach from deleting it outright (though it certainly needs to be removed - as it sits now the article repeats over five paragraphs verbatim). Cheers, and thanks for the help.

My apologies, I didn't see the repeated text below, and thought you were simply deleting a section. I have restored your revision, as deleting the redundant text was the right thing to do. Sorry for the vandalism message. David1217 (talk) 01:34, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. When you recently edited Lentz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Germanic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Sorry, but I've declined your speedy request as this is an album not a band. I've added an intro making clear that this is an album by Violator. May or may not be notable as an article by itself, though. Not a speedy candidate, anyway. Peridon (talk) 15:05, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
David,
My name is Anna quindlen. I am a writer and was born on July 8, 1952. I have been trying to fix the incorrect birth date on my wiki entry for a long time and always give up because you make it so difficult.
I tried to fix it yesterday and received a conflict of interest message.
Please allow my changes to stand. I am a lifelong reporter and the inaccuracy is making me crazy.

Thank you JohnCD. Anna: I just get nervous when people edit articles about themselves. I can see why you would want to change an improper birthdate (it would nag me too). Sorry about the COI notice. Happy editing! David1217 (talk) 22:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
YCAT
Hi David
I am the Director of White Rose Community Television. We evolved from York Community Access Television in 2005 and would like to update and add some additional information to our page. I am new to Wikipedia and would like help in persevering what has been done, update some and create a new brand for our station, WRCT.TV
my contact information is:
Steve Busch, Director of Regional Partnerships
White Rose Community Television
City of York
101 S George St
York PA 17401
717-968-4177 cell
www.wrct.tv
One problem I have is the heading which says "YCAT was a PEG station in York PA" this kinda means we don't exist any longer; which is partly true..YCAT doesn't exist but change its name to WRCT. I can't figure out how to edit this part.
Also, I would like to 'cleanup' and meet your quality standard. My email address is wrct@comcast.net
Sorry about being late getting to you, I saw your message and then forgot about it. It's great that you have an interest in editing Wikipedia! Please exercise caution when editing the article about your company (for more info, see our conflict of interest guideline), and try to cite a reliable source when changing or adding facts in your article. For some answers, see our FAQ for organizations. Happy editing! David1217 (talk) 23:14, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. You're fast! lol
Hello, I was patrolling the new users log and we caught the same vandalism from What's_up1011 at the same time and you beat me to the punch in reverting AND in tagging his or her talk page. I just thought it was funny lol. Have a good day! – TeammmLet's Talk! :)23:07, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Always great to know there's someone else out there doing the same thing I'm doing, keeping Wikipedia clean! Happy editing! David1217 (talk) 23:09, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia novice with interest in editing Savourna Stevenson article.
Many thanks for your friendly welcome to Wikipedia. I have an interest in up-dating the Wikipedia article on Savourna Stevenson, which is currently rather limited and inaccurate, but have no experience in writing suitable text for Wikipedia. Perhaps you could give me some advice about listing suitable citations?
I can see that an internet link can be created to a specific article published in a newspaper, but this can only be done for an article written relatively recently which is held on the newspaper's online archive. If I have actual copies of an older newspaper articles, which pre-date internet listing, how do I use these as citations? Is it relevant/possible to reproduce an entire article which is used as a citation, or is it considered sufficient simply to list a reference to the article/newspaper/date of publication?
I had already started editing and up-dating the article on Savourna Stevenson ... but have already been reprimanded for not writing in a suitably encyclopedic style. I would like to do some more homework on Wikipedia policies, guidelines and writing style before having another attempt. With thanks. Frasergord (talk) 14:36, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing this out. The article, in my opinion, belongs at Narutopedia and not on enwiki due to its specific coverage and lack of context, so I PRODed it accordingly. Cheers, C(u)w(t)C(c)03:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Congratulations, David1217, for recently making your 1,000th edit to articles on English Wikipedia!
Thank you for all your efforts to improve the look and links of the encyclopedia, and for all your contributions. Keep up the great work! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 22:26, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello David1217. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of TV Loves You Back, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A9 does not apply if there are claims of importance/significance regarding the musical recording itself. Thank you. — Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk03:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Simply click on the "My preferences" link up at the top of the page, then add your email address. Glad to be of help! David121702:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello David, I started out reading a nice description of my alma mater, Saint Louise de Marillace High School, and followed the invitation to add to the stump. I am a copy editor and writer, so I fixed grammar and punctuation, and added some other facts. The entire post that had been there, and my contributions, have been withdrawn. So, teach me. What was wrong that everything has been revoked, removed? I have registered. I want to help. This has me really frustrated. Thank you. 64.255.111.50 (talk) 16:23, 5 June 2012 (UTC) Laura Coyne[reply]
I am sorry, I should have provided a better explanation for my revert. (I assume you are User:Laura coyne.) I reverted it because: a) it was unsourced, so there was no way to verify it. It should have been cited to a reliable source, or at least the school's website. And b) it was unencyclopedic, i.e. it didn't have the formal and factual tone used on an encyclopedia. If you could fix those things, please, by all means, edit the article. Also, it's great if you copyedit it. I am a copyeditor on Wikipedia myself, and I appreciate fixing mistakes. Happy editing! David121704:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, David, will pursue standards and suggestions. But very hard to source other material because the school is gone, no collection of research or history, no website, but this. When I found it, here, the copy was subjective but well shared. I filled in details, improved punctuation, maybe added too much color. I was so upset that my changes caused the preexisting narrative to go away-- it is all that we had-- I wanted.to ask please reinstate hers, forget I was ever here.
I have learned a lot, don't have tons of time to become an uber editor but have done my share reporting duplicates and gaps before I registered. So now:
Numbered list item
Do you guys want me to work on this in sandbox.
And how to post good copy without it being erased carte bLanche by people who still don't like .
At last, sby polite in here. Thanks for the advice. The "Editing Wikipedia" feedback should also have a smiley for "angry", because this is what I am after my recent experience in this place. Btw, I am looking for a cool-headed third opinion in an active disagreement on Talk:Necrophobia, if you or sby else you can suggest can help.

Rather than speedily delete Steve Lehman, I just reworked the material so that it is not a copyright violation. Since he seems important enough that we should have an article on him, that seems like a better solution than deletion. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
