Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edit to Very Large Array constitutes vandalism and has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 21:52, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Yes, please go ahead; these things can happen when someone like me sees a partial change before the entire change is made and takes it as a complete change. Luckily, it does not happen often but it can happen without ill purpose from either the writer or editor. My initial message is still largely valid: My mistake. I jumped the gun. Go ahead and complete the work, which will undoubtedly fix what I thought I saw in the partial change. I apologize for the inconvenience and delete the warning.

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Basalt fiber, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Your edit here to Basalt fiber was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N18HcPfKv1E) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:00, 18 December 2013 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.
"are semi-protected for short durations only in the most severe cases of vandalism from IP users", and
"should have an unprotected user talk subpage linked conspicuously from their main talk page"
You might want to fix those. Or at least put a note at the top explaining your disagreement with WP policy and indicating if you'd like people to skip over discussion with you and, e.g. go straight to WP:RPP. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 05:46, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Re your note: my talkpage is semiprotected because of long-term intense harassment from certain vandals, and will remain so while that problem persists. I have never seen any use for the measure recommended in that guideline, of having an unprotected alternative page. If you need to keep your front door locked against burglars, you don't put a notice up telling the burglars the back door is open.
If this occasionally creates problems for good-faith newcomers, that's regrettable. In your case, however, I have no such regrets – you are an experienced long-term user and have deliberately chosen not to avail yourself of the obvious and easy solution to such problems, of creating an account. If you insist on editing as an IP despite all recommendations, don't complain of the disadvantages that sometimes entails, and don't expect us others to bend over backwards to accommodate you.

It has some disadvantages, but it's not supposed to be impossible. And when talking about administrative actions, it is all the more important to be able to contact the person. As I said, you might want to at least have some sort of discussion of the issue and workarounds at the top of your talk page. Even if I did want to create an account, it wouldn't have helped, because there's a significant (I forget how many days) timeout on editing semiprotected pages.
Anyway, the point of a talk subpage is the same as having a mailbox rather than opening your front door: vandals can still stuff it with junk mail, but they can't damage your library in doing to. And you also get to find out when they've given up; in the current situation, how will you know? 71.41.210.146 (talk) 16:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to DC connector may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Sorry not familiar with that subject matter and have never done that process before as of yet. Perhaps when life is less stressed I'll learn about how to do that. — Cirt (talk) 14:56, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Wow. Actually I thought it was a pretty low-quality article; I just found every decent reference I could and dumped it all together on a page, like an essay I hope will get me a C. But the lab is clearly notable (and will become more so), and I had created some redlinks to it a few months ago in places like SNOLAB, so I needed to write something.
Although it's not long on prose, you hit the key facts with proper citations, which is more than can be said for most new articles. I created PandaX a few weeks ago, and I created China Jinping Underground Laboratory as a redirect to that page, so it was on my watchlist. Watchlists are a nice benefit of having an account, as is the ability to create pages yourself (since, clearly, Articles for Creation is beneath your level). —Swpbtalk19:00, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
