This was not my intention. If you have the time it would be great if you can demonstrate with an example where the problem is and how to change the entry's tone to an acceptable neutral one. Many thanks and happy new year! Samkange — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samkange (talk • contribs) 11:52, 16 January 2012 (UTC) Thank you for your explanation AdventurousSquirrel. Samkange —Preceding undated comment added 16:36, 19 January 2012 (UTC). Hi AdventurousSquirrel, you've flagged the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition entry as using bare URLs for citations and being written like an advertisement. I tried to improve it based on your suggestions. Could you please review and take off the alerts if you feel that article is now satisfying? (If this is not the proper process for removing alerts, sorry for bothering you with this!). Many thanks, Samkange (talk • contribs) Speedy deletion declined: Kristen Von VellaHello AdventurousSquirrel.

Re: Secondary SuitesHi AdventurousSquirrel! You recently undid a small edit I made to the "Secondary Suites" page. I provided a link to a relevant site to the "Further Reading" section. Your note said that it looked like the link might violate the Spam policy. I don't think it does, though I am involved in the site I linked to. This is my first edit to Wikipedia so I am totally open to input. Here's where I was coming from... "secondary suites" -- also known as accessory dwelling units, granny flats, in-law suites, etc are a growing topic of interest among housing planners and advocates for the elderly. In fact the Wikipedia entries on this subject are pretty anemic and out of date. I planned on contributing more to them. But I thought I'd experiment by just adding a link. This was actually a relevant contribution because other than commercial sites (builders, architects, etc) and government sites (mostly containing local regulations) there until recently had been no single site on the web dedicated to topic. The site I linked to fills that role. It's also nonprofit, has no advertising, etc. Anyway, I suppose it's true that I could have contributed cited text, as the no-spam policy suggests, but given the weakness of the current page, I thought that small addition was a good way to begin rather than rewriting a whole bunch of the page. Maybe I was wrong? Anyway let me know somehow. Cheers! -martin --Martinjohnbrown (talk) 06:01, 22 January 2012 (UTC) Wikimedia Stories ProjectAloha! My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share. I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day. I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further.

Mouawad GalleryThanks for your contribution to the article Mouawad. I agree with your contention that some of the images could be construed as advertising. I re-added the gallery; however, I removed four (4) of the images that could be construed as advertising. To clear up any confusion on the remaining images, I labeled the gallery as "one of a kind pieces" as these are not for sale. These are exclusives that were purchased by Mouawad over the years. While some did not make the Guiness Book of World Records, they are still notable no-doubt. Thank you again for your advice and contributions. Thanks. --Morning277 (talk) 23:51, 2 April 2012 (UTC) quick question for youHowdy! I saw you were a member of the politics wikiproject and I was wondering if anyone can join? I feel like there is probably a lot of controversy on these pages, just as the nature of the subject and what wikipedia is. So I was wondering if anyone can join, or do you need a list of articles edited or something like that. Thanks for your help!!Righteousskills (talk) 21:20, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
ReSorry I haven't noticed you started a discussion in the talk page of the article! I replied there... regards, Cavarrone (talk) 22:48, 30 May 2012 (UTC) Some notes on Template:Wikify What Wikifying does Wikifying an article involves 4 main things: What articles need wikification? The best way to judge which articles need our attention is to look for the following pointers:
If the answer to any of these is no, add {{wikify}} If the article is obviously a copyright violation (see Wikipedia:Copyright for details or use copyscape to check the article) then tag it with {{copyvio}} - there is no need to tag it for wikification. What wikification does not do

I have very different memories about how the term "teabagger" was used, which seem to conflict with your memories. I wonder if at this point in time we could find documentation from the time of the beginning of the Tea Party movement to show which one of us is correct. I won't revert to my edits at the moment, but I'll file this away and revisit the issue when I have the time to do so. Because I think this should be sorted out, you know, for posterity. ;) --Spiff666 (talk) 19:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC) (Below is your note to me) Hello Spiff666, I reverted your edits on the Tea Party movement page. I hope your edits were an honest mistake, as there is no evidence that the Tea Partiers referred to themselves as "teabaggers" before the term was applied to them pejoratively by the media. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 16:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC) Proposed deletionHi AdventurousSquirrel, I saw your proposal but I respectfully disagree. The meme propagated almost 3 years ago and still signifies an important moment in the history of South Africa because it reflected the mood of the country after the murder of right wing president of the AWB. It has more than 4 million hits on Google, including articles from the BBC and others (adding now). And thirdly, there are many other memes from other countries that are represented on Wikipedia - as the most (or at least one of the most) notable memes from South Africa, I think this should be considered notable enough.

Akram AylisliHi. I put the statement, exactly how it is written in the source. I did not add any personal comment of my own, unlike the previous user User:MarshallBagramyan who put a comment (because nothing like that is written in the source itself) in front of the statement. I am afraid that the user is not acting neutrally in this matter, because of this. The article has to stay neutral and no personal comments shoud be added. In the future could you make shure that the content conforms to the source, and there are no personal comments slipped though.

Re: Homosexuality in footballI did not remove anything. I simply moved the Canada section to the bottom and renamed it to "US and Canada" due to the recent news of an MLS player coming out and then retiring. Because both countries share the same top-tier league of soccer it would be correct to move it below "Spain". 108.54.62.34 (talk) 04:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

re: EmptinessHi, I'm kind of new to editing articles, so I forgot to add summary for that change but I added a section to the talk page of that article and I waited for a reaction but since nobody took action or replied I removed that section because it was unrelated to that article, it was the personal opinion of a random person with no logic behind it. I hope it was not only my subjective understanding of that paragraph. --Mindlogger (talk) 20:14, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sabrevois (grape) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles. We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article. Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks!

RB10Hi, I would like to make you aware that there is a discussion about updates that you may have made to Red Bull RB10 at Talk:Red Bull RB10. Freimütig (talk) 07:37, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
I've reverted a couple of your disambigs here. I know we don't like linking to disambigs, but in these cases it's not really that accurate to emphasise "locomotive". Metadynes were fairly common for lightweight stock like tube trains, but (AFAIK, probably not strictly true in the early days) they weren't usable for large locomotives. The Holden example is that electric locomotives (and steam locomotives) were beginning to be replaced by multiple units and it was the extra traction of all these driven wheels that allowed fast acceleration, rather than simple power. When Holden built his steam Decapod he ran into much the same problem - although it was powerful it still lacked the grip in poor weather that the multiple units could achieve, even with all its ten wheels driven.

Glasgow edits requestedI have no idea how to do anything here but I have been trying to correct incorrect information on the page relating to a home we just bought- Glasgow in Cambridge Maryland. I have tried to correct the image to a recent image of the house that we took, but the image keep reverting back to an incorrect image. The correct image is:  Also, although the historic registry mentions that it is the birthplace of diplomat William Van Murray, he was the uncle of the resident of Glasgow William Vans Murray Robertson who then legally changed his name to drop Robertson.

This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

The book Bangkok Babylon is used in many citations on Diran's wikipage, yet I don't think anyone has read the book thoroughly. I found a link from Google books which shows part of the interview with Mr. Diran in Bangkok Babylon, and certain things which he had stated that would correlate with the stolen Buddha and smuggled antiquities. Here is the link. https://books.google.com/books?id=eYDQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT8&lpg=PT8&dq=romancing+the+stones+diran+bangkok&source=bl&ots=gf3J13jHBq&sig=tAYzbKwDOW6Wx2p6lC075LSB_6A&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PKwVYejEYmfsAW4yoCYAw&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=romancing%20the%20stones%20diran%20bangkok&f=false I have also found a webpage that discusses Mr. Diran's history, which may also be of value to you. http://stopsexslaveryofchildren.org/richard-k-diran.html Thank you for helping to make wikipedia more accurate and dependableJjjulie6 (talk) 00:05, 30 April 2015 (UTC) Reference errors on 29 April

Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2015 (UTC) Bernie Sanders articleYou posted some comments on my talk page and on the Bernie Sanders talk page that I removed the false claim by Diane Rehm without discussing the removal before I did it. That is patently incorrect. I removed your false claim from my talk page. You can review a snippet of discussion that happened before that I removed Rehm's false claim from the Bernie Sanders article here: ML's comment about removing Rehm's false claim. I have reviewed your re-insertion of the material. I believe that work needs to be edited and I will edit it later. I don't have time to do that now. But the place for any discussion about the merits or lack of merits of the false claim by Rehm belongs on the Bernie Sanders talk page and not on my talk page and when a discussion happens it should be based upon factual information, not upon false claims such as I did not discuss the removal before I did it.--ML (talk) 22:19, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

What do you think you are doing? The article is well written, thoroughly referenced to impecable scholarly sources, and on an encyclopaedic subject. You will not often see a better article at AFC and it is just the sort of thing we should be accepting quickly. New editors like this need to be encouraged, not slapped in the face. Your decline reason that the article is too short is patently absurd. It well over twice the length required at DYK for placing on the front page (in fact, I think I'll nominate it). AFC should not be trying to get articles perfect, that is not what it is about. It is about helping new editors. Once an article has reached the minimum standard it should be moved to mainspace, whatever warts it may have. SpinningSpark 23:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work. Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying.
