About American and British spellings
In a recent edit to the page The Sontaran Stratagem, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Your recent UNIT deletion
I recently found in the UNIT article where you removed the cited source for a lengthy passage and replaced it with a "citation request" tag, attaching an edit summary reading, "removing non-canon fansite spam." This last, unfortunately, is almost completely inapplicable to the situation. A fan site (by the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club, to be precise) posted the complete text of a licensed Dr. Who novel, Who Killed Kennedy, originally published by Virgin Books in 1996, all of which was stated (well, you do have to know or at least be able to figure out what "nzdwfc" stands for, as you obviously did, and that WKK is a novel) in the removed cite (also present—the last time I checked, which was quite a while back, I admit—are new annotations by the author). Of course, "the canonicity of spin off fiction is unclear," but the point is that this is not "fansite spam"; anyone reading this article is going to have a much easier time finding that posted text than a physical copy of the book, and the fact that the site on which it has been posted is a "fan" one is irrelevant to the nature of the material under discussion. Furthermore, the novel IS the source for the passage that remains in place, connecting the events of Remembrance of the Daleks with the formation of UNIT. The idea may have been in the minds of the creative team at the time, but David Bishop's novel is where it was first stated outright in something that wasn't pure fancruft. Nobody is ever going to come up with an alternate citation that is any more acceptable under Wiki regs unless the connection is specified in on-air Who dialogue (also, doesn't the word "spam" refer to content more so than the source?). You should either delete the entire passage or leave the cite up with it. --Ted Watson (talk) 19:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Giuliani Removal 2012 Presidential Election article.
That article does say he will run and I have included the quoted text from the article below.
"Lots will happen between Election Day 2008 and Election Day 2012, but if Obama loses Tuesday, his one time rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, immediately becomes a prohibitive favorite for the 2012 Democratic nomination.
Things are not as clear on the GOP side if McCain loses, however.
"Thin bench," Dan Bartlett, the former longtime adviser to President Bush, said recently when asked to list some potential 2012 GOP contenders if McCain fall short of the presidency.
Any such list is divided into two groups: 2008 losers (Mitt Romney; Mike Huckabee; Rudy Giluliani; maybe Fred Thompson; maybe Ron Paul) and newcomers (Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana; Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota; Charlie Crist of Florida; Mark Sanford and Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina; former Ohio Rep. Rob Portman and some folks nobody is thinking about right now)."
Also, according to this article Lindsay Graham and Rob Portman should be added as well.
Please re-add Giuliani to the article. Thanks.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Manuel Zelaya. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Mfield (Oi!) 01:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Texas gubernatorial election, 2010
Oh good. Someone was able to do some improvements on my initial attempts. Also good find on endorsements for Schaffer; I was hoping someone could add more info on the other candidates (I'm a Perry supporter so I tend to stick with working that side of the article).

Florence Shapiro
Why do you keep reverting the edits to that page? Several people have been trying to remove the unnecessary and unsubstantiated information about her religion. She recently went on the Dallas Morning News and said she is not a practicing Jew and does not associate with the religion. Please refrain from edit warring with the users who want to update the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.11.159.228 (talk) 17:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
If you or anyone else can provide a reputable source stating she doesn't consider herself a practicing Jew, please do. Until that is provided the information should remain. And regardless of her religion, the information about her parents is properly cited and there is no reason for it to be deleted. Ratemonth (talk) 02:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Mark Sanford on 2012 Republican Primary Page?
I think the Sanford debate will never end, lol. I have 3 sources that are still discussing Mark Sanford in conjunction to 2012 that are less than 6 months old, but JerzeyKydd is still insisting that discussion for him has ceased for 6 months. The sources I added are less than 6 months. I agreed to take down Ensign because no one is talking him in conjunction 2012, but why are people still talking about Sanford in conjunction 2012? I was wondering if maybe you wanted to add your feedback to this discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Republican_Party_(United_States)_presidential_primaries,_2012. Thanks. --Diamond Dave (talk) 22:13, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Debate over whether or not Bobby Jindal and Mark Sanford should be removed the 2012 Rep Primary Page
There seems to be yet another debate over Mark Sanford and now whether not Bobby Jindal should remain on this page. Since you are an editor on this page, I was hoping you would be interested in joining the discussion at the link below.
Please provide your feedback! Thanks so much!

Warning Vandals
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Edward130603 (talk) 14:14, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Beto O'Rourke
I did not know El Paso's city council is officially non-partisan; chalk that up to my ignorance. But it stands to reason just because the body is non-partisan doesn't mean its members are, as witness the news Mr. O'Rourke would not run for Congress against the powerful Silvestre Reyes -- as a Democrat. (See the third paragraph.)
What bothers me is that a 2,000-word article on such a contentious political figure doesn't mention his party affiliation. This is as credible as a piece on George W. Bush without the word Republican, or one on Barack Obama without a Democrat. Time's recent quote of the guy got my suspicions up. That's why I attempted the revision -- and I do believe some form of it should stand. Edesan (talk) 02:07, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Please stop removing my "nonsense". News confirmed on Doctor Who Magazine - http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/
Stop editing for 2 reasons. 1) The grammer is the wrong tense, and you change it and insist that it's a spelling error your wrong, everyone else is correct. And about River implied she died is right as this is the exact words about the exploding TARDIS Amy: That's River, how can she be up there? Rory: Must be like a recording or something. Doctor: No it's not. It's the emergancy proticals of course the TARDIS sealed off the control room to save her, she is right at the heart of explosion.' Implying that she dies but the TARDIS captures a moment and saves it untill the Doctor completes the savour. Stop changing it.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Nakon 04:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

How on earth ?
How on earth can you assert that the next UK election will have 650 seats?
How can you be certain that the forthcoming referendum will not result in a change in system?
Are you willing to explain how a parliament that has not sat can be hung?
Why is it relevant to post details of party leaders who may not be in place in 4 1/2 years time?
How can you be certain that no candidate will die between nominations closing and the election date?
How can you assert that it is "usual" to do something in the absence of either a minority government nor a coalition being formed when a UK election is inconclusive, when the situation has never arisen?
Your reversion of my edits suggests that you can answer all of these questions. Kevin McE (talk) 18:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Your "undoing unexplained deletion" in article Duško Knežević
The citation from magazine Monitor was removed by user NetLink2010 because the article cited from that magazine is not founded on facts, rather on uncertain implications and speculations. The accusation of money laundering can seriously harm Knežević's reputation on both domestic and international business scene. If not proved, checked, or valid, there is no need to be published on wikipedia, even if it is published in one (and just one) national magazine. This is explanation for the deletion made.
