Somebody has converted the article The Quantum Prophecy, which you had recently worked on, into a redirect into the book series. If you want to rescue it, I would suggest adding references to prove that the book has a right to its own article. Robman94 (talk) 14:21, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

A new reference tool

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miriam Camp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bryn Mawr. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

continued from User talk:Giano...

I find the attempts to provoke any editor into some sort of negative response far less civil than mentioning any particular gender's genitalia. There was absolutely NO reason for that editor to be posting on Eric's page other than an attempt to provoke and WP:HARRASS him. The block should stand.

There is a long history here, and if you are familiar with it, then I can only assume you support such behavior. I hope that is not the case. — Ched :  ?  01:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Please don't pretend that I support the actions of an editor because I recognized an instance of incivility against them. Giano's attack on Lightbreather occurred on Eric's talk page in a discussion that Giano had not previously been a part of. WP:NPA doesn't have a clause saying that it's okay to attack editors if you think they're being disruptive. Since you don't seem to be interested in doing anything about ongoing incivility, you might also like to not do anything about an editor calling me "a problem" and implying I'm on drugs. gobonobo + c 01:28, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
Reading through the entire thread on Eric's talk, and as was pointed out to you here, the entire subject matter of "ovaries" was brought up by Lightbreather. Suggesting that they (LB) take them (the ovaries) and leave the page, where they (LB) were clearly being confrontational, is not a personal attack in my opinion. In reviewing your recent contribs, I can understand why an editor might consider your recent edits "a problem". In light of everything I've seen, I find it very unlikely that you and I will reach any sort of agreement on this. Hopefully in some future discussion we can find that we agree on something, but I doubt it will be here and now. I'll leave you to your page. — Ched :  ?  02:28, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
(I don't want to start a new thread.) Every time I read "imply" I am afraid. I look at attitude more than single remarks and their implications which may be subject to interpretation. I have found Eric on the side of women in times of need and will not forget that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:47, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dai Burger

The article Dai Burger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive 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.
