Huh

If you're going to dispute content, please do it on the article talk page, rather than a blanket reversion of the entire article. Please revert yourself and we'll discuss. Thanks. AkankshaG (talk) 06:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

This article in NO way is neutral as it stands now. As it stands now, it is VERY one sided, and DOES contain FALSE information from sources which I don't know how a person can consider as creditable

First, yes Bushman is a member of the Church, but NOT a General Authority of the Church or authorized to declare what its doctrines should be. That really is not the issue though. The issue is that although the article has been written by both Mormons and Non Mormons alike, the only part of the entire article that is accurate is the general time line and general story line. The article is full of events that plainly did not happen, and other events that are explained by severe enemies of both the Church and of Joseph Smith, many of which could be easily dismissed if a person takes the time to LOOK at the personal account of Joseph's life written by his OWN hand? Hum, how much better a source can you get than that? The article doesn't just give the "neutral" facts as you have stated it does, but is EXTREMELY one sided, making, yes, blatant lies about things that never even happened. But I guess that is just my being a research assistant for some time speaking now, huh! Ya, I guess when you have actually READ THE REAL FIRST HAND DOCUMENTS OUT OF A SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIBRARY THAT IS JUST MEANINGLESS, ISN'T IT....! Your site stinks! I will not donated to Wikipedia in the future.

Hi. As a result of a complaint, I've been requested to suppress this edit you made to User_talk:AkankshaG.

I have suppressed that edit, per policy. Please don't do that again - Alison ❤ 21:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Apologies, but the name in question is already listed in the common under a couple of photographs, I'll point to those if I have to, since the individual gave permission via license. Phearson (talk) 06:06, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:Vector Marketing, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. You seem to have forgotten it :P —Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:28, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I sometimes forget to do, especially at 1am in the morning, heh. Phearson (talk) 17:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Security Shield

Hello Phearson, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Security Shield to a proposed deletion tag. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 03:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Will do, thanks. Phearson (talk) 03:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Pipo the robot

Yes. I placed a CSD A7 tag, and it was speedied. --T H F S W (T · C · E) 05:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Umm...

Hi, I am neither new to Wikipedia nor did I create the page "Stony Mountain Curling Club". In fact, I am an administrator. I removed the tag and cleaned up the page, because I felt the topic was notable. -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh! My mistake. It was kinda weird though that you removed the tag without mentioning that specifically. "Clean-up" was kinda vague, and... question: Since you don't have anything on your page mentioning that you are an admin, how do I verify that? Phearson (talk) 01:21, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
I suppose I don't. I never felt the urge to brag or anything. Anyways, I just found what your bot did to be amusing. -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Not my bot. Its actually a user tool called WP:TWINKLE that help place tags and notify other users automatically. Phearson (talk) 01:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I actually don't like what this group does (they remind me of Spokeo—see my edits on their article), but I attempted to write this in a neutral, fact-focused tone. Where have I gone wrong, please? Thanks, Startswithj (talk) 01:56, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Drive A

No, I am not a member of the band, or employed by them in any way, I just thought it was slightly depressing that they don't have a Wiki page yet, so I started one. I've seen them twice in concert, on Sep 17th 2010, and Jan 24th, 2011 They throw on a great show, and I'd like them to have a very professional Wiki page not just "THIS BAND IS AWESOME!" Y'know? So I'm gonna try to get ahold of each member to see if they are interested to continue it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaughingMasque (talk • contribs) 09:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Declined speedy

Hello, I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion on 11/11/11. Patent nonsense requires text to be insalvageably incoherent, such as "sfgsdfgsfiuqriavmzls". The article, while of questionable notability, is not patent nonsense. Thanks for your new page patrol, and you may want to review criteria G1 of the speedy deletion criteria. Thanks!

Speedy deletion declined: Airline Employees Association

Hello Phearson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Airline Employees Association, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Claims to be a significant, national Australian union. Thank you.   -- Lear's Fool 13:08, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Happy Yippie Yehey

I've moved to my user namespace. You may delete it. (A request: Can the page be protected so that no one else would be able to recreate it as one article already exists?) - Windows72106 (talk) 02:56, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

If you mean to WP:SALT the page, I am unable to do that, as I am not an Admin. That request would not be likely to be honored, but you could try asking one. Phearson (talk) 02:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletions declined:

Hello Phearson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Noemi Del Vecchio and Pearl Goes White, two pages you tagged for speedy deletion, because the articles are not in English. As such they are only eligible for speedy deletion under A2 if you first identify a Wikimedia project that they have been copied from. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 18:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

CSD for Test Patterns for Living

So, you tagged an article I had just started (within four minutes of creating it). That's kinda quick off the mark, isn't it? When you tagged it, all I had so far was the infobox, so naturally it didn't have any context. I have since fleshed out details of the EP, the personnel, appearances of songs, etc. It may only be a stub, but it's at least got context now. Might you retract the CSD request now? Echoedmyron (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I see the tag was retracted by someone else. Just curious about the speedy tagging for speedy deletion: what's the considered required time lag for considering a recently started article for CSD? Echoedmyron (talk) 19:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi. When considering tagging a new article with CSD:A1 (no context) or CSD:A3 (no content), it is generally advised to wait at least 10 minutes from creation, as editors cannot reasonably be expected to satisfy such criteria with their first edit (there's a guideline somewhere, but I can't remember where it is right now). As this article clearly satisfies A1 now, I removed the CSD tag. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
And having looked back on it some more, I think it was wrong to tag it with A1 (no context) anyway - the content of the infobox was easily sufficient to establish its context as an EP by the band Blue Peter. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Apologies. Just getting the hang of New page patrolling. Phearson (talk) 22:58, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
It's well worth spending some time really getting to understand the categories at WP:CSD. The requirements are deliberately set low for avoiding CSD - a lot lower than actual notability standards etc. If you ever need any tips, please feel free to ask me on my Talk page. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

I only recently noticed the repeated vandalism you countered from Portugese IP 79.169.235.214 [1] at Paulo Pires. Good looking out. The lastest batch of nearly identical vandalisms[2] from Portugese IPs 89.153.224.102 [3] and 81.84.141.67 [4] appear to be of the same type and nature as those from IP 79.169.235.214. Is this enough quacking to block the second set of IPs as well? As the page protection from the article has just been removed,[5] I am expecting another onslaught. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Not enough to pass the duck test. However, if they move to vandalism again, perhaps a more indefinite measures are needed. However I am not an Admin. and unable to make that choice. I will keep watch though, thank you. Phearson (talk) 06:02, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks anyway though. Appreciate the good eyes. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Foivos Delivorias

Hello Phearson, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Foivos Delivorias, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 05:43, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:AwardBIOS_startup.png)

Thanks for uploading File:AwardBIOS_startup.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 23:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Water fluoridation

I was being sarcastic. Yeh, I know it doesn't work on Wikipedia. -- Colin°Talk 19:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Kevin Dresser (artist)

Noting your AFD on Kevin Dresser (artist), I have concurred with your delete request. What you didn't add was the copyright violation: [6]. It might be claimed that this is a copy from Wikipedia, but I doubt that it is, and it's not acknowledged as such. If you googled the text and didn't find it, it might be the case that the subject's home page is a copy from Wikipedia. I'm surprised no-one tagged for copy/vio.

Hey, good times. Thanks. Phearson (talk) 04:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Appirio

Hi Phearson. Please help me understand why the new Appirio page was marked for deletion, with specifics. I'm not sure which sections are in violation which is making updates difficult. I removed one section completely which I felt was the closest to being a violator of the "Soapbox" claim. Thanks in advance Spartovi (talk) 04:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I think you should stand back a bit and examine the article. Is this something you would find in a encyclopedia? Would awards and recognition be included? Also, you need to cut down on primary links and PR links such as marketwire. Phearson (talk) 04:42, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, Phearson. That makes it more clear. I'd modeled the entry off of another Company entry that had this sort of layout, with awards and recognition included. I will make the changes. Thanks again Spartovi (talk) 04:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Appirio

You may have noticed I have removed the CSD from the article. The reason given is not a valid reason to delete the article &ndash if perhaps I have missed something, please let me know. If this is advertising or perhaps a nn company you may want to update the tag or use a PROD or AfD. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:49, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I go ahead and use AfD then. Article was created in violation of relevant COI policies. Phearson (talk) 06:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Vector Marketing

Hi Phearson,

I'd love it if you'd work with me to improve the Vector Marketing page. I think it needs a closer look - simply reverting the entire page isn't the answer. Where do we go from here?

Thanks,

Chicago2011 (talk) 17:44, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome Back! I'm glad that you did the responsible thing by returning to Wikipedia on your original account. Please forgive me and my colleges for panicking over you revision. We had just last month finished having a nasty dispute with another editor and we are quite on the edge. I will be moving the last known revision before the revert to your username space in a moment so that the regular editors can participate in fixing the article. Please wait... Phearson (talk) 18:45, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Butting in a bit- what's really needed is to (a) discuss the changes you'd like to make on the talk page, and (b) make small, incremental changes after doing so. Simply replacing the page with your preferred version is difficult on a contested page such as Vector Marketing. tedder (talk) 18:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Tedder, see Chicago's talk page. Phearson (talk) 19:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Phearson,
Just a note to say that it looks like everything's okay here, but if you need help, please feel free to ping me on my talk page. I want you to get the support you need. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
I would appreciate some help. Currently we need more editors on this subject. I was wondering if you could reach out to the appropriate parts of the wiki-community? I would myself, but I have no idea where to start, and though I am an experienced editor (by Tedder's standards), we definitely need help. Phearson (talk) 21:36, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Have you considered requesting assistance from WT:WikiProject Business? A relevant WikiProject (if one is active) is often a good place to start, and if there are some experienced editors, they may have seen this sort of thing before.
I'm a little leery of posting at the Village Pump (miscellaneous), because you might end up with too many people. Collaboration frequently works best with a rather small number of people, and I believe you've already got three active.
As a next step, I suggest that you take anything out of Chicago's sandbox that you think is all right and add it to the article. It's usually best to get the non-controversial stuff out of the way first.
I've put the article (but not Chicago's sandbox) on my watchlist, and will keep an eye out for it, but I no longer systematically check all pages on my watchlist, so don't hesitate to ping me if you think I missed something important. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, everyone. Much appreciated! Chicago2011 (talk) 00:58, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

TAGteach

Hi, I'm new to posting on wikipedia so I'd be grateful for any help. What I'm trying to do is to post about TAGteach. You are correct that it is problematic that this might mean promoting the company TAGteach International. However, the methodology of TAGteach is spreading rapidly and lots of people are searching for information about it outside the company's web page, which I think is a good thing. Since the use of this teaching technology is now spread worldwide, subjected to research published in a peer reviewed journal, and discussed in several books, I definitely think it should be searchable on wikipedia. What should I do, what kind of information should I add, to prevent deletion? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leebee118 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Praise for your work on COI problems

Just a quick heads-up: On Quora [7], you were recently praised for your work on mitigating COI problems, and recommended as a go-to person for others who have such problems.

Myself I'd like to commend your recent work on Vector Marketing (having had that problem article watchlisted for years). In my observation COI editing is a big and growing problem, and there are too few Wikipedians who take care of it.

CSD G4

Ciao, the speedy deletion criterion G4 does not apply to articles that have been previously deleted speedily, say as A7.

In this case it's a fixable problem because the text was here first and instapedia is just a mirror, it just had to be restored from a deleted version of the article in order to get the attribution back for the original authors. Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 21:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

The Potter's House, UK

The article I created yesterday has been deleted. I can't fully understand/accept why this is the case as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundant_Life_Church seems to 'promote' far more than I did. I have been purposely neutral when writing the article. One user did actually post some advice for me on the page, which was very helpful, but I never got time to alter anything as the page was deleted. Can you help me out? Give me a few pointers about how I might get the article back online and working, even if requires some adjustments?

Compute Canada

Hi. You did a speedy deletion of my Compute Canada page within a hour or so of my creating it. I can't see the reasons anymore, hence this note. I thought I understood the issues you raised (as best I recall now that I am home)but you really didn't allow much time for me to correct them. Compute Canada is not a company promoting a product, but is an umbrella organization for the seven national high performance computing centres in Canada. Each of which, except for one I believe, has a Wikipedia page to which I added an appropriate link. While I grant there was considerable hyperbole in the paragraph I grabbed to start the document, I was trying to edit that out. I would think a national organization supporting a couple of thousands researchers would to be able to meet the basic requirements of relevance and need not be deleted before an author had a chance to really edit it. But perhaps I am incorrect and I wanted to ask for the rationale for the very rapid deletion.

Regards, Allanbrent (talk) 05:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Just for Clarification, I tagged the article, but I did not delete it. It was done by a passing administrator who believed that it did meet the critria.

Your behaviour here is bitey and needlessly terse. Please refrain from leaving "lol" edit summaries and sardonic replies to a good-faith contributor trying to write an article - particularly when your reply misidentifies what policy says. A7 applies only when there is no claim to significance, not when there is no claim to notability. Significance is a far lower standard. Since notability requires coverage in multiple sources, I think coverage in one probably removes the need for an A7 tag. Ironholds (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

COI case

Maybe you can handle this one. User:Jslipscomb is the son of a famous chemist. This editor has spent much of his editing energies building up a biography for his father and inserting information in many pages that enhances his father's legacy. It is really a blatant case, but I have no experience with such cases.--Smokefoot (talk) 01:50, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nominations for lists

Hi. I've declined your speedy deletion requests for a number of "List of people from..." articles, as "Wikipedia is not a directory" is not one of the valid speedy deletion reasons. Deleting such lists would certainly not be uncontroversial, so you should take them to WP:AfD if you really think they should be deleted. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Randall Hofland.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Randall Hofland.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 14:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Let me see if I can help you better. You reverted my addition of the "missing fair-use rationale" but it appears you don't actually know what a fair-use rationale should be like. It was linked in the template, and above, but here is the full link that shows you what is necessarfy for a valid fair-use rationale; WP:FURG. Any fair-use claim must also comply with all 10 non-free content policy requirements. Good luck ww2censor (talk) 15:26, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Much better Phearson! I have doubts about the WP:NFCC#1 replaceable claim because he is still alive and we don't usually accept images of living people where a freely licenced image might be possible, even if it is not immediate. But I will leave it up to others to dispute that if they think it appropriate. You may also find it useful to read my image copyright information page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 15:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Diane Warrick

The article Diane Warrick has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet notability criteria of WP:CRIMINAL

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:16, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Diane Warrick.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Diane Warrick.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:16, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Taino (rapper)

Hello phearson Im writing to you as I saw in my talk page that the article that I have been writing about taino has some issues. Im not a company affiliated to Taino. The reason for writing this article is due to the fact of Taino's importance in the Puerto Rican Community as a composer of a major song thats is part of puerto rican history. Their is a documentary inspired on this song and he happens to be the composer and singer of it. This song is constantly sang at major cultural events and sport events. I decided to add more info on his career so people would know how he go started and what he has done. I have looked at pages for other artists in wikipedia to get Ideas on how to best word this article. Im willing to work with you in order to make the article to wikipedias standard.

Well, generally we don't include hat-notes to warn the reader that they may be reading incorrect information. Everything on Wikipedia to a degree should be correct and Verifiable.

Peter Nelson

Sorry to bother you, but i have found your advice helpful in the past, and I was wondering whether you could assist me with a problem in relation to Peter Nelson.

The link i just posted is an article about an actor. Recently i created an article about a cyclist with the same name Peter Nelson (cyclist). I have recently discovered that there are several other articles about people called peter nelson, including Peter Nelson, 9th Earl Nelson and Peter Nelson Mwanza.

The problem that i am finding is that whenever you search for Peter Nelson, you find the article about the actor. I believe that the search for Peter Nelson should be redirected to a disambiguation page of the same name where links are presented to each of the individual articles.

My problem at the moment is that i dont know how to do this. When i search for peter nelson i find no red link to create a disambiguation page. At the same time when i try to redirect the Peter Nelson page to Peter Nelson (actor) it tells me i am not allowed to.

I would like to request your assistance to at least give me instruction on how to fix this problem.

Thankyou, Kind Regards,

AfD Tag

Hi, I noticed that on an AfD discussion on a comment I made, you tagged after my signature — Lord Arador (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. . I was wondering if you would mind explaining this to me a little, as to the appropriateness of the tag. If my comment was uncalled for or inflammatory, I would be happy to resend it and make an apology. Or if the content of my message was unrelated to the tag, would it be more convenient/appropriate if I used that tag after all of my contributions in the future? I've been doing my best to become familiar with all of the policy and protocol on Wikipedia, but there is a lot and I'm fairly new to the process as an editor, so I would appreciate any guidance or advice you could give me.

Thanks, Lord Arador (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for contacting me. I have placed the tag because it appears that you haven't made a lot of edits on wikipedia. The tag is there for the administrator to take into consideration of your editing history and number of edits you have made. In no way was it connected to your behavior, only your editing history.

WP:SOFIXIT, I am operating the WP:AWB, cannot make those sort of corrections right away. Phearson (talk) 03:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, SOFIXIT actually doesn't say what you think it means--I think you think it means that there's something wrong and I need to fix it. In fact, if anything, it should apply to you and your bot: you find something you consider wrong, you fix it. (But WP:SOFIXIT is about something else entirely.) In other words, your bot can validly receive the template below: uw-sofixit. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:23, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).

I am not obligated to do so. If you believe I have made a mistake, feel free to revert it. Phearson (talk) 03:27, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Of course you haven't made a mistake. It was an orphan. But I am the one working on the article, and I don't need to be told it's an orphan: those tags are irritating. You are not obligated to fix the articles you mark at high frequency, but you are also not obligated to operate your bot. At the very least, I hope you won't throw "SOFIXIT" around as the justification for your bot, and I hope that you won't forget to edit by hand, which involves judgment and an assessment of context, which your bot lacks. Drmies (talk) 03:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Noted, However, I am not operating a bot on this account. Also, user:PhearBOT is currently not in operation. Much ado about nothing, as I would probably not return to the article you're working anyhow. Phearson (talk) 03:57, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Wait--so you yourself looked at the article, determined it was an orphan, tagged it and moved on? Not wanting to return? That's really drive-by tagging. If you want to do me and that article a favor, go through again to do the dashes properly--that would be helpful. Drmies (talk) 04:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Patrick move.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
