March 2015

Hello, I'm Jay-Sebastos. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Yankee Candle— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jay _{Σεβαστός}^discuss 08:59, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies about that. I completely misread what you wrote – I thought you had written "filthy" as opposed to "fifty". Apologies again! --Jay _{Σεβαστός}^discuss 08:15, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln, Nebraska

Hi OrbitHawk, just a note to let you know the history section of Lincoln, Nebraska was spun off to History of Lincoln, Nebraska and a new article Timeline of Lincoln, Nebraska history was created. The history section in the article Lincoln, Nebraska was summarized with key points related to the historical development of Lincoln. Do feel free to add to the articles and timeline. Any help, of course, will be appreciated. Have a great day - Cheers Gmcbjames (talk) 22:55, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up! Wow, you two have done a lot of great work. Looks awesome! I hope to add what I can at some point, although these new articles are looking nearly comprehensive as is. :) --OrbitHawk (talk) 09:17, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yankee Candle

I see your point in regards to the reference, but is that the right place for them to be? I have come across numerous entries recently that seem to have this sub-repository in the reference section, mostly bare urls, and I'm trying to figure out why. Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks --AbeFrohman1977 (talk) 14:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from 70.231.132.45

Hey! For the article purple drank there is a company called slomocup now making cups for it! I wanted to add that info in but I can't. Slomocup.com rappers are now selling them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.132.45 (talk) 17:03, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this would be an appropriate inclusion in the article, but maybe, depending on whether there is a reliable independent source discussing it, as, say, a news item -- for example if there were citeable controversy over these cups. Otherwise mentioning this sort of thing quickly becomes an issue of promotion and/or WP:EL violation.

I'm personally not too interested in looking heavily enough into the matter to determine whether or not that info is seaworthy. My edit to that article was simply in the interest of minor maintenance. If you determine it to fall within Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines linked above, you can create an account and should be able to edit protected articles after (I believe) you have reached ten edits and four days. If you go to this much trouble I'd be more than willing to help you out with citing the source you find, and you should also be able to see examples of how citations lay out within the article source, but in this case (for a web source) the format you'd want to use would probably fall under the lines of <ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |publisher= |date= |accessdate= }}</ref>. Alternatively, you may want to look at the edit history and contact editors who have contributed more significantly to that topic, or place an appeal to add said information on the article's talk page. --OrbitHawk (talk) 08:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Honestly, I am not sure what you're talking about. Have I ever edited this page? Was it put up for speedy deletion? OrbitHawk (talk) 23:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What happened was you created a redirect (Lost Squadron) to Flight 19 and then X62225 then made it into a hoax article. It was the latter hoax article I was tagging for deletion but since you created the initial redirect the script sent the notice to you. I'm sorry about the confusion.
