Welcome![edit]

Hello Bobmack89x, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please don't add borderline and irrelevant links to articles' See Also sections, as you did at list of academic disciplines. The See Also section is for closely connected articles that help to understand the present article's topic, not a laundry list of loosely related things. -- Rbellin|Talk 19:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please slow down a bit[edit]

Bob,

It's best if you actually read first what you're editing. I need to revert what you are doing at confidence game and Bernard Madoff/ Please take the time to read some of our rules, e.g. WP:BLP. Slow and steady wins the race. Happy editing. Smallbones (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2009[edit]

Please note[edit]

May I echo Smallbones' concern above? I have reverted some of your edits because they were unsourced (see WP:S), blatant spam (see WP:SPAM), or your personal opinion (see WP:NPOV). I appreciate your work but if it doesn't meet the WP guidelines it will quickly be reverted/removed by others. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with WP's policies. If I can help, let me know. Thanks. Yintaɳ 22:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking[edit]

Hi. I thought it might be helpful for you to read WP:OVERLINKING to better know what, when and how much linking should occur with articles. Happy editing. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What generally should not be linked[edit]

(from WP:LINKING)

Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, it is generally inappropriate to link:

plain English words;
terms whose meaning would be understood by almost all readers;
items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations, religions, languages, common professions and common units of measurement (particularly if a conversion is provided);^[1]
dates (but see Chronological items below).

Wikipedia edits must be sourced[edit]

Hi there. Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Solntsevskaya bratva. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. QueenofBattle (talk) 22:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Linking[edit]

Please become familiar with Wikipedia linking guidelines at WP:LINK. Specifically, linking common words such as "shoes" is unnecessary, and please make sure internal links direct the reader to the correct page. Thank you, momo ricks 03:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, if a term in already included in the text of an article, it is unnecesary to provide a "see also" link for it. It also is against Wikipedia's manual of style. QueenofBattle (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Price gouge[edit]

Hi,

I removed your image of a claimed price gouge on some audiovisual equipment.

Firstly, it provided no evidence for what it claims is the real 66 dollar price, and secondly, it comes across as one person's opinion and/or axe to grind about a particular store or brand rather than making clear why it's a good example of price gouging.

No offence, but I think you have to justify its re-inclusion.

All the best, Ubcule (talk) 16:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 2009[edit]

October 2009[edit]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Sons of Silence. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. tedder (talk) 18:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Renewed overlinking[edit]

Welcome back from your third block. I have undone this edit to White Collar (TV series). Reminding you, WP:OVERLINKING states

What generally should not be linked

Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, avoid linking terms whose meaning can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia, including plain English words, the names of major geographic features and locations, religions, languages, common professions, common units of measurement, and dates.

November 2009[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to 2009. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Cosmic Latte (talk) 21:02, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Do you also edit as User:Ecosciences? Your edit patterns seem quite similar. --CliffC (talk) 18:23, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No that would be someone else.

Mongols (motorcycle club)[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Mongols (motorcycle club), please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

If you have a reliable source for everything you wish to add to Mongols (motorcycle club), then cite it. If you don't have a reliable source, then leave it out. --Dbratland (talk) 02:50, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, unsourced additions to Mara Salvatrucha[edit]

Bob, you do not seem to be learning anything from past warnings (you delete some, so we know you see them), or your 4 past blocks. Yesterday in 10 separate edits you repeated (diff here) the same behavior, against the same article, you have been warned about again and again. A report about your editing is being filed at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. --CliffC (talk) 03:34, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated abuse of editing privileges. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

You've been asked over and over again to abide by the rules of this site and still you refuse to do so. Sorry, but this is it. PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:02, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of 2008 Barack Obama assassination scare in Denver[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is 2008 Barack Obama assassination scare in Denver. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 Barack Obama assassination scare in Denver. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of common measurements include:
- units of time (millisecond, second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year)
- metric units of mass (milligram, gram, kilogram), length (millimetre, centimetre, metre, kilometre), area (mm², etc.) and volume (millilitre, litre, mm³)
- imperial and US units (inch, foot, yard, mile)
- composite units (m/s, ft/s)
Links may sometimes be helpful where there is ambiguity in the measurement system (such as Troy weight vs Avoirdupois weight) but only if the distinction is relevant. In an article specifically on units of measurement or measurement, such links can be useful.
