Hello, Zscout370

Instead of replying to my email, feel free to leave a message here. O (talk) 11:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tambayan pages

Hey ! Don't do that.--Jondel 14:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The edit was made to archive the discussions on that particular topic. O

I see now, hopefully Jondel did as well. --Kukini 04:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move pages

Please do not move pages unless you have discussed your intentions on the talk page. Moving a page is a drastic step and especially for a featured article, the move was highly inappropriate. Thank you. Argyrios 06:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that there is a process for reaching consensus on article moves that are likely to be disputed: Wikipedia:Requested moves. Melchoir 06:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The edit has been reverted. O

Come on, DON'T MOVE THE PAGE WITHOUT DISCUSSION haven't you read what other users said to you, on 2006? Please... --Howard the Duck 02:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to the article's discussion page. O

You haven't learned, have you? Now all of these anons are cut and pasting the bloody article, the GFDL history will be screwed up. For controversial moves, can't you just say hello to the talk page? You do always do things unilaterally, if this happens again, I'd report you to WP:AN and recommend a block. --Howard the Duck 04:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is encouraged that you post a notice to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct if you believe I've been exhibiting persistent improper behavior despite several warnings from editors. O (talk) 03:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey at least I ask for permission unless the article name is really silly. You just go ahead and do your stuff. --Howard the Duck 05:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to Talk:Philippine coup attempt of 2007 for further discussion. O (talk) 07:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about that. You have a history of doing page moves out of nowhere. --Howard the Duck 10:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For further discussion regarding my alleged misbehavior, feel free to edit Requests for comment/Of and add content to the page. O (talk) 08:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you even just add a summary on why you moved it? Just that so we'd know why. --Howard the Duck 07:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The moved article namespace has settled and I've provided explanations on its talk page. For your convenience, I've focused my wikitime on being involved with the Typo Department and irrelevant content deletion. Happy trails! O (talk) 11:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk page etiquette

Regarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here [1], under "When pages get too long." Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages is often interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, if your deletion of notices and concerns on your user talk page is to keep the "clutter" down, I suggest that you instead create archives for these messages. I would be happy to help you do just that if you ask me to. -Kukini 04:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, hello. Yes, I removed the notices to keep the "clutter" down. At the same time, however, I also do not wish to archive discussions on my talk page. Will keep this one, though. O

Deleting notices is not the same as archiving them. See [2] for an example of archiving. Please do not delete notices, particularly when they are pointing out blanking or other forms of vandalism. --Kukini 04:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you like, I would be happy to construct a talk page archives for you like mine. --Kukini 04:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC) I did this for this user here [3] for an example. Best, --Kukini 04:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Of... I just wanted to say thanks for reverting the changes made by the asshat vandals on my user page. I appreciate ya, pal. Caknuck 06:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Do you want to join the Tambayan? I see that your have edits in Philippine based articles so you might be interested in joining us. By the way you should have a userpage so that other users can see what your edit preferences are. --Lenticel ^(talk) 07:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quote on Retribution

Hello, why did you delete (twice) the quote on the Retribution article. You left no comment on the history log. Hervegirod (talk) 23:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your 'notable quote' because I believe it was unencyclopedic. You might want to consider using Wikiquote instead. O (talk) 11:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Koranic fish

I have nominated Koranic fish, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Koranic fish. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Deyh (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MfD nomination of Wikipedia:Stub Makers

Wikipedia:Stub Makers, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Stub Makers and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Wikipedia:Stub Makers during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. GrooveDog • i'm groovy. 01:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. , None of these edits [4], [5], [6], [7] were actually minor. it seems as though you might have all your edits defaulted to be checked as minor. If that is the case you should uncheck that box since you are not marking your edits correctly.--Crossmr (talk) 08:47, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:37, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Of. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Of~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
