Thanks

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for your tireless work submitting dozens and dozens of users to WP:UAA. Snowolf How can I help? 21:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
if those users are actually spamming links let me know, I've got tools for monitoring and ensuring that we catch them even if they change usernames. βcommand 02:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop posting stale reports to WP:UAA

You have been asked again and again and again, yet you persist in doing it. Posting reports on accounts that haven't edited for three weeks is pointless and useless. Please stop wasting our time. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:14, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Managing your talk page

Hi Calton, in regard to this edit you made, no, it's really not acceptable to alter a signed post that way. It gives the impression that you are changing the writing of another editor in such a way as to hold them up to ridicule when future readers come along. And we don't ridicule anyone here, we revert then or block them or ban them or protect pages from them - but we do that to protect the encyclopedia, not because we dislike them. I've removed the relevant section and would ask you to think carefully before restoring it in whatever form. Is it really something you insist on having present on your talk page?

Tokyo earthquake March 2011

Hi, Calton. It looks like you left the project some months ago, but I'll ask anyway. Are you all right? It would be nice to see a note from you on this page. Bishonen | talk 18:55, 11 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I saw your reply on Bishonen's talk page ... good to see ya back Calton, and I hope things get back to normal soon over there. I was impressed by our coverage of the quake and tsunami too, even compared with the news networks. - Dank (push to talk) 03:01, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

Thank you for deleting this - I'm frankly disgusted of the amount of hatred people pour into each other. Keep up the good work. Yours, Zakhalesh (talk) 15:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jcosta1982

It's actually {{db-blanked}} (redirect to G7) you want, not {{db-blank}} (redirect to A3). Confusing, isn't it? :) Feezo (Talk) 08:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Donna Eden

You may be interested to know that there's a new AFD discussion on this topic: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donna Eden (2nd nomination). I'm mentioning this to you because I note that you took part in previous discussions about the notability/verifiability of this article. --Salimfadhley (talk) 13:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua the Patriot Accusation

No, I am not this person by any means. I've been reading Wikipedia Articles for quite sometime and have been wanting to contribute to articles that I know about the most, in which the articles that I have been involved in were articles involving my federal representatives in the Congress. Encyclopedic Joshua (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your "contribution" to my talk page, I am not who you think I am. Please, let's get back contributing to articles in a professional manner. Keep your Marco Rubio article if you want, I just realize that people just gave up a while ago. It's most likely going to get removed by somebody in the mere future. I'm done with you. Stay away from the Ander Crenshaw article, thanks. Encyclopedic Joshua (talk) 00:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Calton

Please be careful who you accuse of what. I recommend doing some reading first. Arcandam (talk) 15:49, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend reading WP:BATTLE & WP:CIVIL. Arcandam (talk) 16:06, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Someone on IRC pointed out to me that you may be trolling. Per WP:AGF, Occam's razor and Hanlon's razor (two of my favorite articles) I am going to assume you are good-faithed and simply made a mistake. If you are good-faithed, please consider the possibility you made a mistake and start reading. Arcandam (talk) 16:24, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please stay off my talkpage. I will do the same thing with yours. You are welcome back when your WP:BATTLE is over. Arcandam out. Arcandam (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have plagiarized a previous edit remark of yours

Today I used your quote for the first time—"Rv. You'll have to do better than "because I said so" when removing cited content."

Speedy deletion declined

You nominated List of cemeteries in Hudson County, New Jersey for speedy deletion as a repost of an article deleted following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cemeteries in Hudson County, New Jersey. Personally, I think such lists are inappropriate as articles, but it is significantly different from the version that was discussed, so I have declined the speedy deletion. (Actually, at first I accepted it, but I now realise that was a mistake.) You are, of course, free to take it back to AfD if you like. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:40, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please direct me to the archive on which you based your speedy deletion? Thank you Djflem (talk) 08:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC) Never mind, I see it above. Djflem (talk) 08:39, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to report that there were not enough accounts available for you to have one. I have you on our list though and if more become available we will notify you promptly.

If you haven't already, please check out WP:HighBeam and WP:Questia, where accounts are still available. Cheers, Ocaasi 19:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of World Affairs Council of Northern California

The article World Affairs Council of Northern California has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

local program, with no third party references for notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
