DYK for Banton, Romblon
Also pinging @Lawrence ruiz:. I've reviewed the DYK nomination. The problems are >>However, the page is part of a merger discussion, and, although not related to the hook, the text of the climate section is the same as the third paragraph of the final paragraph of the Geo-Physical Environment section of this page (http://www.romblonprov.gov.ph/pages.php?m=romblon_province), which is worrying from a plagiarism point of view.<<
If these problems are fixed, I'm sure it will pass next time. Red Fiona (talk) 21:17, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll try to get them fixed :) Omni Flames let's talk about it 23:21, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, Red Fiona and Omni Flames, I've corrected the climate section to adhere to your concerns/suggestions. It's hard explaining climatic terms in a different way, especially for someone who is not a meteorologist. Thanks for the suggestion though. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 03:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Awesome. I'm pinging @Jolly_Janner because I'm not sure what to do about the merger issue, because otherwise I think this should pass.Red Fiona (talk) 20:53, 27 April 2016 (UTC) - Edit, trying that again - @Jolly Janner: Red Fiona (talk) 20:54, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Red Fiona! The merger issue has now been resolved. I hope you could consider this article now that the issue has been resolved. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 06:46, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thank you very much, Omni Flames, for welcoming me to Wikipedia. And thanks for the heads ups on my article. I hope those errors don't make my work bad. Considering mentorship, since you were kind enough to welcome me, I would be glad if you adopt me. Thanks Nana Elikem (talk) 08:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey, no problem :). I'd be more than willing to adopt you! I'll get a course ready and notify you when I'm done. Omni Flames let's talk about it 10:55, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Maura Hopkins
That would now be Senator' Maura Hopkins since you got trigger happy with the speedy deletes. Wikimucker (talk) 16:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Wikimucker: Trigger happy? I think you're forgetting that it was a one line stub about a local senator with only a single non-independent reference at the time I tagged it. Omni Flames let's talk about it 22:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Have you untagged it, I'm not gonna create it again I can assure you. :) Wikimucker (talk) 23:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Counter Vandalism Unit
Hello Omni Flames I am new on this wiki.I have found that you are eager to teach how to fight with vandalism.So I want you to teach me what is vandalism and the way to revert it. Can you please teach me?.Bivek bhattarai (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Bivek bhattarai: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We generally prefer that those being trained at the academy have already gained sufficient experience editing the encyclopedia before enrolling in a course. That means that we'd like you to have made at least 200 edits to article namespace. You can see your edits in article space here if you scroll down a bit. Omni Flames let's talk about it 22:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Omni Flames:I am using wikipedai with zero balance zone So i couldn't reach the external links.So i must learn editing wikipedia within the boundary in which i need to revert the vandalism before i make any mistake so could you please teach me . I will promise to do as you say.plaese let me do this honour to you.Bivek bhattarai (talk) 13:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hi Omni Flames. I just wanted to thank you for your effort in relisting the M. S. Ramaiah article so that is was (finally) able to come to the attention of those seeking to improve such articles, such as master editor/admin @MichaelQSchmidt:. Again, thank you. Picomtn (talk) 23:04, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Picomtn: Hey, no problem :). I think it's pretty clear now that the article will be kept. Omni Flames let's talk about it 23:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- I believe you're right Omni Flames that this one will be saved, and I'm still working (with others of course) to save Mr. Lambu, Jacky Lafon and Krista Franklin whose AfD discussion you (and everyone you know here) should read too. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 23:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Re: your almost immediate revert of an addition to the Zulu film page, regarding Michael Caine's comments on a recent 60 Minutes interview as to his casting in the film. You believe it not "constructive". I'm not sure what "constructive" means in this context, but I believe the addition is an interesting and pertinent fact to the making of the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14E:4000:B69:686B:9592:3EBB:3E18 (talk) 02:20, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

- Ah, my apologies. I read the edit wrong. I thought you were changing film -> file, but rather it was the other way around. I'll revert myself and remove the warning. Omni Flames let's talk about it 02:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Dear Omni Flames — After being unblocked due to multiply sock puppetry cases and sock puppet accounts, I want to make positive contributions to Wikipedia. Can you train me to be an an anti-vandalism user and be enrolled in your academy? Once I am progressing through the lessons, maybe I can get my Rollback rights, back! Thank you, CookieMonster755 📞 ✉ ✓ 22:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- @CookieMonster755: Hello! I'd be happy to train you. I've started a page at User:Omni Flames/CVUA/CookieMonster755, take a look at that. Omni Flames let's talk about it 06:56, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Omni Flames: looks wonderful! I will be doing your training and homework sessions, and learning with you on anti-vandalism efforts on Wikipedia. I only get 15 minutes a day on Wikipedia (because I have Internet addiction disorder) but I will definitely do your assigned homework everyday. Thank you so much! CookieMonster755 📞 ✉ ✓ 21:00, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
CVU academy
I want to learn how to fight vandalism more effectively. I want to eventually be able to use Huggle and Igloo, and get rollback rights. Can you train me in the CVU academy? My only issue is that we are in very different time zones, so it might be hard to communicate. Please leave a message on my talk page when you have decided to take me on or not. Thanks, ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:11, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
You reverted incorrect information
The information removed from Stephen Andrew wiki page is incorrect. The explanation for removal was provided. Mediaperson2016 (talk) 11:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Mediaperson2016: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You're right, it did have an explanation. However, the content there was backed up by a reliable source, and so, to remove it, you would have to provide another source to prove the information wrong. Omni Flames let's talk about it 11:25, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi. The issue is that the information is editorial - I can tell you this is not correct information. Mr. Andrew now works as a communications consultant andrewstewartgroup.com that has nothing to do with his work as a journalist. The comment is an editorial perspective.

CVU Academy training
Hello, Omni Flames! I've been doing counter-vandalism works for a few days, and I wish to know more about what I've been doing and how to do it better...before accident happens. I feel I might have been a bit too jumpy and bitten a few newcomers. Can you train me? My timezone is UTC+8:00 and I am usually available from 10AM to 11PM local. JWNoctistalk 16:32, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
