RFA
Hello, are you interested in adminship yet? If yes, what have you done to be an experienced editor awaiting adminship? The Snowager-is awake 18:07, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Snowager: Thanks, I've been considering a RfA. I've been considering a go in one to two months and already have a bureaucrat who plans to nominate me. I'd always appreciate a co-nomination though. Thanks! Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:18, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- No problem. The Snowager-is awake 17:15, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

University Club of Baton Rouge
Hi Winner 42, For clarification purposes, you are going to revert "University Club of Baton Rouge" back to "The University Club (Baton Rouge)"? Then through a different process convert the page back to the "University Club of Baton Rouge" as it's officially called? Just making sure I understand the process correctly. Thanks in advance. spatms talk 01:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Looks like this has been dealt with by Ritchie333, thanks for improving Wikipedia. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:42, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hours of research, content additions, references and formatting have been lost in the conversion bc it converted to a previous version. How can we restore the many hours of work done improving the page? spatms talk 02:03, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ask @Ritchie333: to restore information from the deleted version or make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. Admins can restore any content lost. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:08, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Spatms: Probably the easiest thing to do is since all of the deleted edits were made by you, you can manually merge back in your old content, avoiding a history merge which is always a pain if the history overlaps. I've emailed you the content.
- And on a related note, I'm surprised Winner 42 didn't do this himself, and it seems it's because he's not an admin. I think we should fix that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:19, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: I've been reluctant to do an RfA, but this is the third time someone has asked me about RfA in the past 3 weeks. If you will nominate me, I guess I'll have a go at it. Winner 42 Talk to me! 21:55, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

This article really contains loads of unsourced claims (f.e. LVP's size), it includes blatant advertisement-like text Variety of sporting activities can be performed within the palace compound itself! and, the worst: bullshit about Gates and Hawkens (see Intro). Please help the article, I didn't mean to irritate or something, this was a real warning: someone should do something about LVP, it's deteriorating, nobody is looking after vandalism. Ciao, 82.174.116.230 (talk) 20:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Blanking the page isn't the answer, feel free to remove what you feel is inaccurate or can't find sources for, but please don't completely blank the article. Thank you. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:45, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

No it was not a mistake. I deleted the wrong misleading information. ILiriaALB (talk) 14:03, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable and not promotional, but written in neutral language. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:46, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
modification on possibile page
hi winner, what you say about possibile is simply wrong. in the article you cited a singular atypical example of position but possibile is definitely not a libertarian party for free market. so I believe the informations on the page were misleading that's why I deleted those words. their primary focus is instead on redistributive policy as I wrote it as you can easily verify on the last posts in www.ciwati.it (italian). please before deleting the text, verify the correctness of the informations. best, marco — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.49.247.74 (talk) 16:42, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I have reinstated your edit, happy editing! Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:48, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Failedmessiah
The entire failedmessiah blog is full of lies. Aswell he's name is Scott not Shmarya. I don't understand are you am anti Semite? Why are you editing what I posted? Please explain I don't mean to be rude DUI666 (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Information on Wikipedia, especially that about living people needs reliable sources to back up statements. I have no opinion on the person and have reinstated a section of removed well sourced controversy content which was removed. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Pony!
Pony!
Congratulations! For helping User:Tigerboy1966 (who is the heart and soul of WikiProject horse racing) with that harassing IP and sockpuppet, you have received a pony! Ponies are cute, intelligent, cuddly, friendly (most of the time, though with notable exceptions), promote good will, encourage patience, and enjoy carrots. Treat your pony with respect and he will be your faithful friend! Montanabw(talk) 04:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

SPA ,,Dąbie"
Hello
I'm writing because of your message. Firstly, I reckon, that the name of page shouldn't be changed. Plase look at the right corner of the website - SPA Dąbie. Official name of company contains quotation mark. Secondly, could you please tell me, what's wrong with my article Szczecińskie Przedsiębiorstwo Autobusowe „Dąbie”? Is anything wrong with grammars or vocabulary? If you tell me, what kind of mistakes have been done, I will improve my article.
P.S. Sorry for the mistakes I have done. I'm not a native speaker of English language. I have been learning that language. Szczecinolog (talk) 17:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hello, I seen you are right about the quotation marks, but I don't see why it should be („Dąbie”) as opposed to ("Dąbie"). As for the copy edit tag, there are just a few minor grammatical errors which a copyeditor will eventually attend to. For example, "Those buses had been bought from 2005 to 2008." should be "These buses were bought between 2005 and 2008." or alternatively "This series of buses was bought between 2005 and 2008." If you have any more questions feel free to ask. You also might want to check out the Polish ambassadors to help you. Happy Editing! Winner 42 Talk to me! 22:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Wog
I removed the guff from the article Wog because it's simply not true. There are zero serious etymologists who believe the "Wily Oriental Gentleman" story is true, and in fact this is probably the canonical example of False Eytmology, as are ALL etymologies based on acronyms (see also "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge").
The person who added that info is being coy, but the fact is, his source is not remotely authoritative. The section I re-inserted (from a previous edit; I didn't write it) included an unimpeachable source. 50.132.67.150 (talk) 02:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Dov Charney
Hi! Thanks for your message! I've shopped at the one American Apparel store they have in my country. Does that count? In any case, I have tried to offer relevant citations for my edits and tried to maintain a NPOV etc. I welcome any and all suggestions you have that will help me contribute Wikipedia-worthy edits!
