User talk:That man from NantucketHi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this: Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes) Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history. Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks!

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dweller (talk) 17:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC) June 2016Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Death of Gloria D. Davis with this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 23Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Libby Garvey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Patricia Sullivan. 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. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:14, 23 June 2016 (UTC) WikistalkingWhile I understand this is a few days old, I would like to remind you of our policy on harassing users by following their edits. Your interaction with Geo Swan over the past while has had several instances of you going back through their contribs and targeting them specifically on edits made over many years. If you continue this behavoir, it will result in a block. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 04:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
A serious conduct matterHi TMFN, I'm guessing my ping did not reach you on this matter (it's an intermittently broken system), but I'm still hoping to have you revise your statements at Talk:Afghan_detainees_at_Guantanamo_Bay, or I think I will have to take the highly unusual (but in this instance, I feel necessary) act of removing some of the comments myself, per the concerns I've raised there and policy about civil and productive discourse. I want to reiterate my assumptions that you did not mean to cause offense or tension, but using hypothetical like you did, linking another editor with whom you are in content dispute with to such incomparably evil acts is just not appropriate. Hope we can get the discussion back on track, but I see no way forward without your altering the comments some, having them removed by someone else, or (hopefully to be avoided) taking the matter to a behavioural forum. All that said, hope the day finds you otherwise well. Snow let's rap 05:18, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Re: StormfrontRe your message: Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. It looks like the issue is already getting resolved on the talk page, so I do not think you need any further input from me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:21, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!Hello, That man from Nantucket. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) I noticed you edited out one of Mr. Teper's statements from the AfD. Is that allowed? --Mr. Vernon (talk) 05:54, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
See my comment on the subreddit talk pageSince I am not able to ping you as you have no user page, I am leaving a note here. Please see the new section that I added on the /r/the_donald article talk page, regarding "spreading racism".--FeralOink (talk) 07:24, 12 December 2016 (UTC) r/The_DonaldHey, I'm not sure if this is the favored way of communication on wikipedia but I wanted to talk about the revert you did on my edit, I do believe pizzagate occured after the sorting issue, but definitely before the controversy with the admins, as the admin in question mentionned it in his excuse message. I think your revert wasn't really justified, since it makes it look like my edit was wrong when it was only partially. I'm new to wikipedia, so do I receive a penalty for making a reverted edit? Am I allowed to edit it again to put pizzagate in between both other events, as it should be? Or are you supposed to do that? Thanks. 7dare (talk) 16:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
response to an old(er) talk page edit of yours at Talk:Pizzagate conspiracy theoryI just noticed this edit of yours, and it deserves a response, but the thread is old so I'm posting it here.
You have made your point. Please stop edit warring and let the discussion run its course. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC) Hit piece?Care to explain why you reverted my edits with the edit summary :"Undoing hit piece"? --Auric talk 14:48, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
"admitted drama watcher"Keep your comments like this to yourself. Thanks. — nihlus kryik (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC) @Timothyjosephwood: You're welcome!
Advice on MS talk pageOn MS's talk page just now, you're confused about what is going on. The person you're replying to is not the sock discussed in that section; they just didn't start a new section. Kibitzing on the talk page of someone you've just reported at WP:AN and telling someone who is severely violating BLP how to evade scrutiny is not on. Please remove your post there. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC) The CranberriesYour recent edits on The Cranberries entry appear to be non constructive. You can not simply change the status of the band because you personally believe that they will disband. Wikipedia depends of verified facts, not assumptions or personal conclusions. Should the band announce that they will disband, the entry can be modified accordingly and sourced. Thank you. (Sellpink (talk) 22:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC))
