Thanks mate, for the nice words on my creation of the article on Susanne Hoeber Rudolph.--jojo@nthony (talk) 15:15, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Famous Jury Trials (radio program)
Thanks for your note. You asked, "Can there be more links to and from this page?" Yes, there will be. In fact, I had just begun adding links when I saw notification of your message. I plan to add as many as possible today. I appreciate your interest. Eddie Blick (talk) 15:22, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Banco (Sir Michael Rocks album)
They are quotes from the artist in question, how are they gibberish? I can trim them, but just don't blindy tag it for deletion. Koala15 (talk) 18:07, 29 July 2014 (UTC) Are they relevant though?
I questioned adding them myself, but they seem like very informative quotes about each song. Koala15 (talk) 18:11, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Henrique Bernardelli
You say that you're proposing to delete Henrique Bernadelli because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. Bit quick there: I'd more or less only just pressed the save button! Anyway, Bernadelli isn't a living person, he has been dead for nearly 80 years! It does need references (it doesn't have them in the original Portuguese Wiki) and I tagged it as such.

Sheik Umar Khan Issues
Hi, TheMagikCow.
The article (Sheik Umar Khan) is (at this point) just an introductory stub, so for now it is still an orphan.
I am unclear as to why the neutrality is disputed--I wrote that Khan "was recognized as a 'national hero' by Sierra Leone's Health Ministry"--but made no claims myself as to whether their assessment as quoted is accurate.
I'm going to remove the Neutrality tag but leave (until more links are established) the Orphan tag; please do let me know if you believe this is inappropriate.
Thanks for your contribution.

Stubs
Hallo, Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article like Ivan Petrović (footballer born 1986) which already has a specific stub template. Thanks. PamD 09:26, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Badnapur (Vidhan Sabha constituency)
Hello TheMagikCow. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Badnapur (Vidhan Sabha constituency), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The text from the other article was being used as a template. The current version of the article is not a copy of the other page. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
Victor Margolin Issues
Hi TheMagikCow,
Thank you for your note about this article (Victor Margolin). I'm new to Wikipedia, so although I think I have updated the article to include the references how you wanted them I'm not entirely sure. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know if there is anything else I need to update?
Also, if you are happy, could you let me know how to remove your tag?
Thanks,
AbbieBlooms
Motivated edits in Happy New Year (2014 film)
Hi TheMagikCow - I have noticed that a user User talk:Armaan.haider repeatedly removing content critical of movie Happy New Year (2014 film) without providing any reasons. I have checked the users talk page and it seems user has a habit of doing so repeatedly and there are couple of warnings on his talk page where fellow editors have advised him to restrain from such practice. I would urge to have a look into the issue. I had added the criticism and controversy part of the movie citing verifiable reference. I think since the user is repeatedly engaging in such activities his/her's edit access should be revoked. Vinod (talk) 12:46, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
New Page Patrol
Hi. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but with only 92 edits to mainspace it's most unlikely you already have sufficient experience to be patrolling new pages - it's a task that requires an almost admin level knowledge of deletion, copyright, conflicts of interest, and other special but hard to detect reasons for deletion. I would suggest you start with something much easier such as reverting vandalism. Check it out at the WP:CVU and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:17, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi TheMagikCow. You "reviewed" the above new article, and left a note on its creator's talk page letting them know that. I'd like to point out that i just found two very obvious errors ~ a broken template for one, which is hugely disruptive on a page and not really to be missed ~ which i have corrected. While we all appreciate your enthusiasm, i would second what Kudpung points out above, and think that you should maybe consider stepping back from reviewing new pages for a while, and gain some experience in actually working on the project, so you understand a bit better what is and is not appropriate. Please, please understand that i am not ungrateful, nor do i wish to stop you, merely to help you to become a better editor. If i can help in any way, please ask on my talk page, or reply here. Cheers, LindsayHello 11:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi TheMagikCow. By pure coincidence I have noticed that some of your own most recent edits are totally unsourced additions to articles. Obviously not every sentence in an article needs to be sourced but major claims that appear to have been taken from other sources, news articles, or the Lord Mayor of London, must be sourced otherwise they will be removed quicker than the twinkling of an eye. This clearly demonstrates that you do not (yet) have the knowledge to be patrolling pages. We have rather a lot of pages on our policies (a few hundred actually) but obviously no one can expect every editor to know them all off by heart after just a few weeks. Do what you can, take it slowly, and one day you'll be surprised how much you have learned. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
