Harringay StadiumI'm not a speedway fan myself, but I noticed that you'd removed a speedway link on the Harringay Stadium page. I left it there because it seemd to link to potentially useful stuff for someone who's interested in Speedway - all the Harringay results for example. Did you have a specific reason for removing it? hjuk (talk) 15:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Nooo. I didn't add it. I left what someone else had added because I considered that it gave potentially useful extra info to someone interested in speedway. I'll take a look at the spam policy and take it from there. Cheers. hjuk (talk) 16:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Motorcycling WikiprojectWelcome to the Motorcycling WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 19:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! 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. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Hi, and thanks for your note. It should be appearing any time soon on the Main Page. In a couple of days time, you will be able to see how many people clicked on the hook and read the article by going to this site: [1]. There should be a big "spike" on 31st May. I find that having an article on DYK tends to boost "visitor numbers" from a couple of dozen to over a thousand on that day, which feels nice!

Your recent additions including the references and links are excellent and I do believe that the article is almost up to WP:Good Article standard. Perhaps you would like to nominate if you feel its ready? I also suggest you add your name to user help with sources box on the talk page. Keep up the good work and all the best.

LejonenI wondered if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this new article for me and see if you can't improve it a bit more when you have time. Many thanks Waterden (talk) 14:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC) Belle Vue and Wolves resultsI have removed the table of results from the articles of the two above teams. It is not the remit of wikipedia to report match results within an article such as these. However I do feel it may possibly have a place as a stand alone article, linked from the main article. For rhis reason I have copied the contents to the articles talk page. Please let me know what you think when you have time. Waterden (talk) 15:59, 11 September 2008 (UTC) You must have been bored ! Fine with me mate .. Waterden (talk) 14:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC) Poole ParkCheers for your additional editing to the Poole Park article which is also near where I live - I didn't get around to finishing it. 03md (talk) 18:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC) Template:Speedway Elite LeagueI like the job done on the template. Can you please leave the links to other legues somewhere though.. maybe in see also ? Cheers Waterden (talk) 17:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Rider infoboxI have given it a bit of a revamp. Tell me what you think. I am going to ask a template expert to make up a speedway version of football squad templates. Also a template where we can add as many honours, career teams etc separately as needed on the speedway info box. I will go round updating them all by hand if I can get the box done right. 22:01, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Speedway teamsI think they need leaving on team pages. I agree they do look a bit messy but there is no other way of displaying them. I put them into a columns so that when the next season is ready they will drop into threes which does help. The pages will build up hopefully over the years. Maybe we could format them all into tables ? What do you think ?Waterden (talk) 16:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
WeymouthJust a quick note that I weighed in on the issue, and I think WikiProject Equine as a whole is not apt to object to whatever you folks ultimately decide. We had some concerns with the same editor creating a number or new articles, templates, stubs and redirects created absent any discussion or consensus in our project. Just FYI that you got caught up in a wider situation. Montanabw(talk) 01:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Happy editing! —αἰτίας •discussion• 20:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Alpha, TennesseeAlpha is not a company or corporation but, as the article says, a small unincorporated community in Hamblen County, Tennessee. Any further explanation would be greatly appreciated. TTS51207 (talk) 16:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. I had started the article a few minutes before. I should have references or links or something in place within the next forty-eight hours. Also, thanks for answering my call for help regarding page links. TTS51207 (talk) 17:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC) trampoline brandingHello. I'm looking to find out if it's possible to re-vamp my previous deleted entry in any way to have it included on Wikipedia. I understand that the initial article was advertising, and I would like to change it to be an acceptable entry. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you (Trampolinehalifax (talk) 18:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)) GaryThere are a few assertions of notability so it can't be speedied. It needs to be prodded or taken to AFD. I posted the assertions of notability on the talk page. Schuym1 (talk) 19:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Barreti did not as you say 'vandalise' the article, I simply corrected it. As you can easily say that anyone who makes bombs are terrorists. The Tamil Tigers did not launch a never ending attack on the sinhalese and the rest of the world like you little girls think, they attempt to protect the people of Wanni, by whatever means necessary from the attacks of the sinhalese goverment who will massacre and kill millions of tamils in their wake, if they get to Wanni. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.30.26 (talk) 19:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Exit Clov Wiki PageHi, I have been trying to clean up the Exit Clov page I created (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_clov) and am looking for help with this. I added the one inline citation you can see, which I originally thought was causing the question mark box to appear atop the page. Now I am just not sure why it is there. Please let me know what I can do to get rid of this message. Please respond to my email address, reid.benditt@gmail.com.

Ohio State University PressThe article Ohio State University Press says that it is a Press situated in the, surprise, Ohio state of university. Pray, how is my saying so deemed unconstructive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Citrusmangler (talk • contribs) 15:19, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Wellington: Irish or Anglo-IrishI would like to hear how you draw this distinction? Clearly he was Protestant and Irish. Isn't this a little more objective or rather less POV? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micielo (talk • contribs) 02:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Battle of AssayeHi, I've reviewed the Battle of Assaye article as a good article nominee, and made a number of suggesions for improvement. In general, I'd say it's a great article and just needs a few little tweaks before I'd be more than willing to call it a Good Article. Once you've had a chance to look at my comments, just drop a note on my talk page, and I'll have another look. Thanks. Cool3 (talk) 16:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
sorry...Hey, i'm sorry for changing a title in the terrorism page, i thought it was OK to change stuff in wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.203.47.130 (talk) 18:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC) I've just seen the edits you made to Food waste in the United Kingdom as well and I'm very thankful you made them! I simply don't know enough about Wiki policy to make the kinds of edits and links you did. I'm in no doubt this will bolster the article's chances of GA. Many thanks.

Vandalism to my userpageThanks for reverting that. I have no idea what I've done to them (unless Mintspear is a sock of Bh6thman but I'm neither bothered nor sure enough to go to WP:SPI with it). Tonywalton Talk 23:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

BarretBonden, Thanks For Reminding Me - Castle ArticleBarretBonden, thank you for reminding me about the summary edit on the Castle article. I won't forget next time when I make edits. Thank you for letting me, buddy. Have a good one! Davidx5 (talk) 02:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC) Que pasa?Are you even looking at what I am doing? There is no article named million solar roofs, or future energy development. Asking for a reference that biofuel and biomass give off carbon dioxide? That's a no brainer. What gives? 199.125.109.120 (talk) 01:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
I have just spent 1 hour 15 mins precisely checking out and reverting every single edit by that absolutely stupid nationalistic anti-Italian f..k w.t who attacked that article and deleted every reference to anything Italian, including a list of famous architects, and deliberately mis-named Italian buildings as Spanish. I notice that you had already picked up on one change. I wish that you had checked and reverted a few more, while it could be done simply, instead of leaving it until further edits had been made. Everything this person did was a stuff-up, even apparently innocent edits that merely added information about Spanish castles. The reason why this was a stuff-up was that it was done without regard for where the paragraph was heading or the point that the writer was trying to make. If you had a hand in writing this article, then you need to maintain it scrupulously from this destructive idiot. Amandajm (talk) 10:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

One user told me to stop undoing one redlink. Until you give me a legitimate reason to stop I think the best thing to do is to carry on. What about all of the good reasons for undoing them? If there ever is a page created on the subject then it should be made a link again. But until then. With compliments. DAFMM (talk). Thanks for finnally making a legitimate claim! Well done! I will read the redlinks article. With compliments. DAFMM (talk).
How do you know that them would never even need to be created? DAFMM (talk)
CaptionsTechnically a caption (e. g. Brighton Pier) is a sentence and so needs a full stop. With compliments. DAFMM (talk)
