Template:MsgEmail

I have two requests for people coming here:

  • If you intend to revert personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
  • If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks.

Consider this a WP:Very Stern Warning. As has been pointed out to me many times before, and will no doubt be pointed out to me many more times in the future: there is no place for humour in Wikipedia. Especially in "spoofed" signatures, or in edit summaries.Monty Python's "Spanish Inquistion" running joke 58 (talk) 14:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I need to get caught up on MP humor! I owe you a beer, but as it isn't 5PM in your neck of the woods, here's a cookie. And you don't have to share it with Shirt; I gave him one, too. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 15:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rankin Inlet

Please be advised that I am not editing the Rankin Inlet with the intention of vandalizing the information. I come originally from the community, and am 100% confident that the Inuktitut way of spelling the name of the community is a complete error (please look further into this before you decide to keep it as kangiqiniq). Rankin Inlet's Inuktitut name is pronounced with a "th" (also, I should point out that the actual syllabic way of writing it is correct in the Rankin Inlet wikipedia site, BUT the roman orthographic way of spelling is completely wrong). There is nobody from the community who will pronounce it is as "Kangiqiniq", nor will they spell it in this way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous198 (talkcontribs) 15:24, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced

Its a proven fact that 99.9% information found on wikipedia is lies, propganda, and so on Please fix this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crusade8 (talkcontribs) 17:22, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to include sources for your claim. Also it's not my day for doing that. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 17:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thanks, didn't notice. I'll AfD. All the best --Neutralitytalk 06:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you restore this to my userspace please? I didn't notice the PROD. I'm skeptical that this is a slam-dunk delete, but I'd like to take a look at it first. Herostratus (talk) 08:44, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish Progressives article

I note this:

  • "06:58, 17 November 2011 CambridgeBayWeather (talk | contribs) deleted "Scottish Progressives" ‎ (WP:PROD: Nominated for seven days with no objection)"

What exactly was the problem with this article? I would like to see a copy of the deleted text. Thanks. --Mais oui! (talk) 22:38, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! Now I understand why it was prodded! Might merit a quick AFD, or a Redirect to Progressives (Scotland), but I don't have any strong opinions either way. It seems unlikely to survive an AFD. Thanks anyway.--Mais oui! (talk) 23:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

Your recent speedy deletion (11:23, 21 November 2011 CambridgeBayWeather (talk | contribs) deleted "Michelle Obama's arms" ‎ (G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle Obama's arms.) of this article for reason G4 seems inappropriate because the article had and was being improved. For example, I had just cited a scholarly article and was adding more such content. Sufficient time of over a year seems to have elapsed for this topic to have matured and more sources to accumulate. Please restore the topic so that it may be considered more fully and properly. Warden (talk) 11:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weather IP

Hello, saw you reverting addition of weather data by 174.117.71.185 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) to Helsinki. I have earlier reverted unexplained alterations to weather data by anonymous IP in the same article (can't remember if the same IP though.) This user anyway has multiple warnings on his talk page. Do you have any more information about this pattern? Thank you, hydrox (talk) 22:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably was the same person. The problem is that while they sometimes add material that doesn't match the source or conflicts with the countries weather office, they also add material that wasn't in the article. And they don't respond to anything so far. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 23:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Might it be that they are not replying because everyone has only pasted templates on their talk page? If someone actually engaged them in a written dialogue, they might reply. --hydrox (talk) 20:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You could well be right. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 16:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback Dashboard upgrade

Hi CambridgeBayWeather,

Thanks for signing up for the Feedback Dashboard response team! I wanted to let you know that the tool just got an important update (see here for details). I also wanted to invite you to the IRC office hours session that Steven and I are going to hold this Sunday, December 4. Hope you can make it and share your experience/questions with us! Thanks again, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia Kingsmen

Thanks for the clarification. So would it be possible for me to create a new page using proper citations and references?

SPAs

Hi CambridgeBayWeather. There seems to be a bit of an edit war over on the Amanda Lindhout page between a group of SPAs. When you have the time, could you please have a look at it and perhaps also add the page to your watchlist. Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 21:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aviation Wikiproject on Commons?

Hey mate, I've had an idea of starting an Aviation WikiProject on Commons. I have created a page at Commons:User talk:Russavia/Proposal where I hope that if other editors think this is a good idea, we can all come up with ideas, etc. Please keep all comments on that page for time being, and if you know of other editors on Commons or on other language projects who might be interested in commenting, coming up with ideas, etc, please let them know of the discussion. Let's see if this could be a workable project. Y u no be Russavia ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) 23:38, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Please stop reverting

Hi CambridgeBayWeather,

Please can you stop reverting the article named "Khawaja" to previous edit versions. I have removed the origins passage due to very poor citation. It is better that nothing is posted than something that is unverifiable true or not. Thanks

Edits to Zacharias Kunuk

Hello, and thank you for editing my article. I've been wondering when someone might find the time to improve my work. I most certainly appreciate any "help" or "advice" you might offer me and will do me best to learn as I go. This experience is, obviously, very new to me and I will enjoy checking in from time to time in the future. Now, a question: Zacharias Kunuk personally told me I could use any photo of him I wanted. I am totally naive re: copyright law and will appreciate any education on this topic you can share. Please know, also, I am not very capable when it comes to computers and will need work to find your response.153.90.171.89 (talk) 21:06, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
