Re your comment on Timeshift's pageClarification for later readers - the content we're discussing was not authored by anybody involved in this discussion. Orderinchaos 12:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC) (Posted it there, but as it's to you as well...) The section Timeshift removed from the federal election talk page was a partisan rant which I'm not even absolutely sure the News Ltd moderators would have published in a "Have Your Say" section on their website, and utterly violated WP:BLP policies (which I might note is all but a mandate from Jimbo himself to shoot on sight). In case there is any doubt, I've placed the standard talk header on it. Orderinchaos 09:26, 27 January 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) 20:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC) national sportHey Pio's at it again. And I don't want this to be an edit war. Anyways about all of his edits are rather disruptive plus I don't want to break 3rr so, can you do me a favor by reverting his edit, which could be called vandalism actually.--THUGCHILDz 20:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Edit warring at National sportYou are currently involved in an edit war at National sport. Please remember that such behaviour does not benefit Wikipedia in any way, and in fact you may be blocked for it (especially, but not always, if you have made four or more reverts in 24 hours). Therefore, please remember: if you are having a dispute with somebody over an article, you must follow the dispute resolution process - that is, discuss your differences with the other parties. Sometimes, that is all it takes: leave a message on their talk page, and come to an agreement civilly and peacefully. Once again, bear in mind that revert warring is not acceptable and you may be blocked for it: you should consider this a final warning on the matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Guy0307, we can stop edit warring in this article but I restore my version because not only Australia has 3 most popular sports. Lay off my user page!!!!--PIO (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Vandalism
ConfusedYou are confused because in those links, inserted in my talk, are citated various sports and not only soccer. I think so: it's impossible assert a sport certainly most popular because it's impossible verify stats. Popularity of a game has 4 data:
but it's scientifically impossible settle how many are amateur players and audience by television!!!! If we consider sport as pastime we can consider card games and how many are amateur poker players? How many are amateur fishers? How many are amateur cue sports players? How many are participants of footing in parks? Every kind of answer is impossible!!!!--PIO (talk) 16:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC) Block warningHi. Your recent contributions have been nothing but chat as of late. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a social networking site. If you are here to contribute to the writing of this encyclopedia, please do so; otherwise, please do not edit at all, or you will be blocked. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC) February 2008 Hi, the recent edit you made to National sport has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. —αἰτίας •discussion• 00:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC) soccerhey you have been adding a lot of countries to the soccer list and changing the descriptions saying soccer is the most popular in those countries. And there's nothing wrong with that and I am not disputing soccer being the most popular sport in the world. However, before you change info's and the list can you please back them up with sources because being the most popular sport in the world doesn't necessarily mean it's the most popular sport in most of the countries and it doesn't have to be. So before you change it please back them up with sources.--THUGCHILDz 05:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Mediation ClosedAfter trying at this for over a month, I am of the opinion that we have exhausted all possible options. Every conceivable wording has been put forward, and still there is dissent over which version should be used on the various pages. Therefore, I am declaring this mediation at an impasse and have closed it. Parties should continue to discuss it and may seek out other forms of dispute resolution. I would advise all parties involved to remain civil and to follow proper policies in handling the matter further. Thank you. MBisanz talk 05:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC) March 2008Hi, I got your message. The warning was in response to this edit, which I do consider to be vandalism, because it replaced a user page with nonsense. I also noticed that you have received warnings for vandalism in the past; maybe you should review WP:VAN. How about a compromise: you agree not to edit anyone's user page in this fashion any more, and I'll remove the message. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or want to discuss anything. Peace, delldot talk 09:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
User:PIO/JxyI have blanked and protected User:Jxy's talk page to prevent further edit warring. Please remember Wikipedia:Deny recognition and that he couldn't edit beyond that talk page, and therefore it really didn't matter what he put on it. Thanks. MBisanz talk 06:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Raptors captainsI've provided a few sources on the talk page of the template, but not all of them are acceptable. Blackjays1 (talk) 03:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC) HP templateMy reasoning is that Hagrid is way much more important than Ginny because he has direct involvement in the plot of most of the books, which cannot be said about Ginny. Ginny is first trully important in Half-blood Prince. Even Draco is more prominent than Ginny, having involvement in Voldemort and Dumbledore's deaths. Ginny is only important because she is Harry's love interest, and because of her participation in some battles. About Hagrid and Sirius, I am not sure who is more important, the two characters are pivotal in the series, with Sirius having a book for himself (PoA), but Hagrid appears more in the series, he is one of the most developed characters and he appeared in all seven books playing an important role. --Lord Opeth (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
PIOHi Guy, thanks for the message. Yep, PIO and LEO are definitely the same person, as were User:Jxy and User:Agazio, plus anyone who signs with just a name from a 151.67 or 151.70 IP, such as this [1] where he calls himself 'Nemo'. The two active socks he's using at present are User:Ciolone and of course, as you said, User:Luigi 28. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 13:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC) re:non free use questionHi Guy, how's things? To answer your question, I'd have a look at Wikipedia:Software_screenshots#Copyright_issues, and at the fair use rationales given at screenshot images such as [Image:Google1998.png] and [Image:Windows Vista Desktop.png]. What's going onI responded to your query. --Jenny 10:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC) Re: Is my image free?I think I've added the correct fair use rationale now. Thanks for the help :-) All Grown Up Whovian 11:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC) Re: My edits to DarfurThat was not intended to happen, but instead of going to AVI please give me a warning. Also, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gogo_Dodo#RE:_Darfur Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Los Angeles Lakers task force inviteClosed MedCab requestI've closed Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-07-25 Negev Bedouins. There was no real attempt to discuss the issues on the talk page or work out a consensus with the other editors. Please try talking out the issues to reach an agreement with other editors before pursuing other dispute resolution options. Vassyana (talk) 20:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Bardcom userpageThanks for dealing with that. --HighKing (talk) 11:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Your request for rollback After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! —αἰτίας •discussion• 16:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC) ar wikiHi, can take a look to Talk:Arabic Wikipedia? about it's restrictions. regards. --Riyadi.asmawi (talk) 13:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC) MessageYou have new message here, thanks! --虞海 (Yú Hǎi) (talk) 09:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC) Re Miscellany for deletion/User:ApovolotYour opinion to Delete was seem to be based just on the license related statement - please be aware that I am willing to adjust the license related statement on that page in accordance with whatever this discussion outcome will prescribe it to be to comply with the spirit of the Wikipedia. I am hoping that this my pledge might change your opinion from delete to keep. Apovolot (talk) 00:03, 27 November 2008 (UTC) Denver Jade FowlerHi. I didn't mean to steam roll you on your CSD. I just volunteered to help the author with the article, and tried to do a lightning quick cleanup to keep it from being deleted a second time. I hope you didn't mind too much.

There is no verifiable source for the labelling of that person as a "scammer". Do you have one? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
flagged revisionwhat precisely is a flagged revision? i've seen the phrase a couple of times but took no notice, but now i see someone is threatening to leave over it, i'm more curious, and seem to be unable to find a basic description of what it is or how it affects wikipedia. would you care to explain? Timeshift (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC) Nonsense?Why would you call this nonsense? It was technically clumsily written, but it's obviously not nonsense. Please use some common sense in these matters. Michael Hardy (talk) 07:30, 27 January 2009 (UTC) Rubbish!! The first line says EXACTLY why he's notable. Maybe it is a csd, but NOT for that reason.

Regarding this edit, thank you for your assistance. And thank you for the goodwill it displays. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Your request.Please, I beg you, read WP:RFA, WP:BAND and WP:CSD. By the way, I have read all of these before, several times, but as you have requested that I read them again ... I don't understand why you want me to read WP:RFA. I don't understand how it's relevant. Are there particular sections you want me to read? If so, please be specific. Similarly, what is it in WP:Band you want me to focus on? As for CSD, I've lost count of the number of times I've told you that CSD A7 is not applicable. So what do you want me to do now? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:01, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
reponseTalk about "Big Brother is watching"!!!!! Y'know, you are devoting more effort to the destruction of this article than I am to its creation! Why don't you devote just 10% of that effort to improving the article, and the other 90% to having a nice glass of wine and watching the sun set? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Calm down mate!I was only doin' my routine check of articles, when I found you still had the under construction template when you haven't edited the article for nearly a week. Just a small suggestion: The tables are wayy too long compared to the rest of the article. Guy0307 (talk) 12:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Martial Arts WeekendI think we should keep an eye on this. it could be an unnotable album that isn't covered in mainstream news. ≤Ftphokie (talk) 11:15, 12 February 2009 (UTC)≥
The articles: Minaret of Samarra February 10th, and Malwiya February 11thHi Guy, I am a snail expert, and these two very new articles only came to my attention because they both mention the word "snail". I don't know if you want to fix this, but the two articles need a careful merging, because they are both on the same subject. I worked a fair bit on Malwiya already a few days ago, just to clean up the prose and put in more links and an image, but I really know nothing about this subject. Thanks for any work you can put into this. Invertzoo (talk) 20:49, 15 February 2009 (UTC) OK, you can ignore this now: this morning I went ahead and merged them myself. Thanks and best to you, Invertzoo (talk) 18:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC) Yellow-billed TealHello, I tagged it for speedy, as a user is claiming that Speckled Teals are now called Yellow-billed Teals, so I tagged it to make way for a move. Depending on whether they provide sources. Ok if I revert your redirecting? Or you can do It yourself, cheers SpitfireTally-ho! 08:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
AlertsAlerts at WP project pages (viz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Indonesia - at the bottom of the page) have been put in because too many times Xfd's go through without any project participants ever seeing what happened or why to items from in their projects - CFD for a very long time used to have 2 or 3 votes from their appartichikcs agreeing among themselves that cats need to to go - and no one ever knew the better about it. I really think a bit of WP:Etiquette in taking a minute or two in putting in the WP Indonesia deletions page - even if in your mind it is a clear snowjob - would at least give a sense that you understand that there might be a project that might have some participants who might to wish to have a word - even if it is to be deleted - not all the google tells us all xfd commentors necessarily know anything about the subjects they are throwing the N's and etc into the ring. cheers SatuSuro 13:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Sorry you have your way of looking at things, and I have mine - I could go into any project that is not english language based and do the same with heaps of small articles - if it is taken to afd - it goes to the project as well imho - as for speedy - well so what? I still think even snowjobs dont have a 'right' to walk over general procedures of acknowleding that there might be something other than google huggers in the world . Nothing personal either - just in case my comments might seem aimed at you - in all respect the deletionists gang seen so often at afd do do a good job in most cases - and I am not dismissing the process out of hand - but after a few years of dealing with new stubs and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot/IndonesiaSearchResult some of the outright crap that turns up there - the well deserved speedies are always well worth sending on their way - without debate - however in the case of the acehnese editor and article I think it is unfortunate that you focused on that - as I 'smell' a good source for articles from the editor if he stays and when he gets the hang of the process - and it is a real pity that such an item is chosen - I still reckon the afd mob (all the regularls) should be required do time on recent changes - there you can get your teeth into stuff properly :) SatuSuro 02:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC) Fair enough - sorry about the rambling in that case - as you can see I have a very jaded view of Afd process when it comes to Indonesian articles - maybe we will meet again - thanks for your patient response - and hopefully not over Indonesian new articles - SatuSuro 02:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you! Thank you for your polite and helpful response. Yes, I agree with you. Once again, thank you for your comment, but more importantly to me, thank you for the spirit in which it was made. Best wishes. --Pdfpdf (talk) 13:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC) Gross. AdvertizeHello Guy0307, I'm Gross. Advertize i have redirected my userpage to MyTalk page, Sorry that i have taken a while to get back to you. Hope you have a great day. Gross. Advertize (talk) 03:25, 11 April 2009 (UTC) Hi. Regarding this article, you reverted an edit with the comment 'better this way'. However, you didn't exactly specify what. Did you mean the removal of the articles (the) in the 'qualification for' sentences: in which case fair enough. However the revert also messed up the alignment which I'd sorted out. If that wasn't intentional is it ok if I sort that out?

It is your right to tag, of course, but I would like to ask you to elaborate on your rationales.

With regards to tag you placed on my article, Remaking Singapore Committee, I have provided a link in the external links section. This website is the resource of my information. Is this reference enough or do you need more references to this article? I hope you would make this clear to me. Thanks! --Siva1979Talk to me 07:32, 22 May 2009 (UTC) Good Shepherd Lutheran SchoolHi Guy0307. Regarding the removal of the external link to the official Good Shepherd Lutheran School Alumni group on facebook, there are 3925 articles which contain "facebook.com." Most of them are individuals linking to their facebook pages, but there are also countless businesses, non-profit organizations, films, political parties and campaigns, athletic teams, Walk Disney World, MSNBC, and yes school groups that link to facebook. Some of the educational institutions that link to facebook are listed below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_College_of_the_Humanities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_Collegium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_and_Professional_Student_Assembly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tanta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Manchester_Institute_of_Science_and_Technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewood_Regional_High_School http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeside_College http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_University_of_New_York_at_Oswego WP:ELNO discourages links to facebook, EXCEPT when it is an official page. The GSLS Alumni page on facebook is an official page by virtue of it's minutes being published there. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ELNO#Links_normally_to_be_avoided) Therefore, I know you'll agree that the link in question was within policy. Lionelt (talk) 08:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello Guy0307. Thanks for clarifying that you don't think that the Alumni group is an official organization. For your review, I am copying language from the Facebook page in question: "Good Shepherd Lutheran School Alumni is an unincorporated non-profit association (CCC Sect. 18000). Donations are not tax deductible at this time. Check back for status of exemption under IRS Sect. 501(c)7." (At http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34433734952) This group is claiming that it is organized under California law (CCC = Corporations Code). It also appears that IRS tax exemption is forthcoming. I hope this satisfies you that this alumni group is an official, legal entity. Unless you have any other objections, I will restore the link.
