I just saw the quick addition and deletion from Ellington. Then you made a comment on Talk:Ellington, Northumberland. I checked it out and found that the redirect from the dab page's talk page to the town had never been erased. I assume you had meant your post for the dab page rather than the town's page? —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 03:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
RedlinkingI am still unsure about redlinks and whether to create them for titles of old films. I have also removed and fixed my share of redlinks, while still not sure if I have created more redlinks into articles than I have fixed or removed any. I do feel that there must be some kind of a balance between the two at least... One way to gauge whether redlinks are useful is to check if any have existed before my additions with What Links Here. At least if one is there, then this should be a sure-fire way to add more into relevant articles. I was thinking then that if there was no redlink at all for a movie, then it should not be added. I've been reading Wikipedia talk:Red link#Redlinks useful? and am unable to make up my mind about all these arguments.
For example, I was editing an actor page which has quite an extended filmography (actor pages are usually filled up with filmographies copied from the IMDb and then reformatted). My personal opinions about these filmographies is that actor's pages should rather have selected filmography lists based on existing articles in Wikipedia... Just as well, if there is a redlink already in existence, it does not appear to be any harm in adding another one into another article... I think the point would then be not to create new redlinks that have a very low likeliness of getting their own article.
Another thought I had is that if there there might as well be no need to summarily create redlinks in articles that I am not thoroughly editing anyway, even if these redlinks have more than one to several articles that already link to them. I also think that redlinks are useful for disambiguation purposes. For example, if a relatively short article about an actress contains numerous redlinks to films and some of them are blue and link to pages that are not about films, then it's duly useful to fix those Wikilinks and make them redlinks of the type "Film title (film)" or "Film title (year xxxx film)". This may create more redlinks in the end and perhaps even a disambiguation page (provided it contains numerous blue links already), but these new redlinks would still link to the right place.
While What Links Here is a useful tool to gauge requests for an article that is at that time redlinked, then the most useful way for the user to do it would be by adding just one redlink to his/her article of interest. For example, a redlinked article has two articles that refer to it and these two articles were written and given redlinks to by two differnet users. There are other two articles (among several others) that use exactly the same text as the redlinked article (a movie title is one such example) and a user is doing major edits on one of them. To guarantee impartiality, a user can add necessary redlinks to that article only and not make similar redlinks to other articles that contain exactly the same text that can be used for the redlink, unless they are editing other articles as thoroughly as their primary article of the moment. The exception to the rule is only when other users have created wrong redlinks that are ambiguous and/or link to irrelevant articles and in which case these redlinks mut be fixed. Alas, this form of action can be manipulated by malicious users that make use of sockpuppets.
HiHi, I was just wondering if you'd take a look at my talk and user page. You seem like a respected user, so your expertese would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Madrus 12:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)  A tag has been placed on A4Tech, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add Deletion review for Template:World Trade Organization (WTO)An editor has asked for a deletion review of Template:World Trade Organization (WTO). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

January 2013 You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Carmen Ortiz. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Viriditas (talk) 10:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Quick questionHello there, I noticed the evidence put forward at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes/Review/Evidence, which I thank you for. I'm not sure what the procedure is for these cases or if any editor is allowed to put forward evidence or is it restricted to clerks/admins only? The reason I ask this, is because the behaviour you picked up on at TfD dated 6 December 2014, continued at the project's talk page and then at subsequent TfD's dated 17, 28, 29, 30, and 31 December. The one of 17 December was a nomination of a universal template that was suggested to be created at the TfD of 6 December. Any advice on whether I would be able to put across further evidence or where it should be sent to would be much help. Thank you. Wes Mouse | T@lk 19:25, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

This is not correct. While lake is indeed järvi in Finnish, the name of the lake (and SFOS version) isn't Maadajärvi but Maadajävri. The name is in Skolt Sami language and jävri is the correct Skolt spelling for lake. Finnish name of this particular lake is Tyvijärvi, but that has nothing to do with the fact, that the OS version named Maadajävri. The name has been edited several times even though there is a valid source citing that the name is indeed Maadajävri. Please stop editing disinformation into properly cited articles. 37.136.97.161 (talk) 12:05, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Mullah Omar photosI do not think the picture used in the current article is the only known image of the man.

Usage of non-free images in the userspace, etc.Hi Mardus. I just want to let you know that I removed File:SunbirdIcon.png from your User:Mardus/Free software projects named after animals. The file is considered to be non-free content by Wikipedia and therefore there are limits placed on how and where it may be used because of its copyright status. One of these limitations is WP:NFCC#9 which says that non-free content may only be used (i.e., displayed) in the article namespace. Unfortunately, this means it cannot be used on or in user pages, templates, sandboxes, talk pages, etc. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask them here or at WP:MCQ -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:48, 8 December 2015 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for December 8Hi.

I noticed that back in 2008 you made several contributions to James Carville article. He is a frequent contributor to The National Memo, so I assume that you know this media (and the liberal press) quite well. The article has been undergoing dramatic edits and I ask for your assistance in editing/improving this article. I while ago I was asked to make several minor edits to the article as paid editor. At that time the article had minimal content and was no more than a stub. I’ve added some information following the structure of such articles as Salon (website), HuffPost, Politico adding infobox, improving categories and adding some well-referenced info. The article started to look like a normal website/media article. After that it got heavily edited in two waves by editors deleting large chunks of well-written (ok, my personal view :)) and well-referenced information. I believe that some of these edits/deletions are extraneous and actually make the article worse/less useful to Wikipedia users. I also believe that The National Memo article has an undisputable notability. There is an interesting discussion about this at the article’s Talk page. A lot of what is going all around this article is plain nonsense. So if you are interested in the subject / in improving the article, please take a look at January 10th version or January 29th version. Also if you have any suggestions on improving the article, please share. Thank you in advance. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:58, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey. You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Minor edits and commasHi Mardus! I noticed you marked an edit as minor at Thomas E. Kurtz that may not have been. Overall, you seem to be using the minor edit flag frequently for edits that don't seem to be minor edits such as edits that change words and other significant changes. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. As a general rule, it's best not to mark an edit as minor unless it's so trivial and straightforward that nobody could ever object. I also noticed that many of the commas you added to the article were not necessary. Specifically, commas are generally not used before "that" unless it's part of a non-restrictive clause or there's a specific reason for separation. Regards.
