SEMI-RETIRED

Don't worry, this is a real message >_>

Just saw that you got hit by that, uh, bit of unpleasantness the other day too. Seems it hasn't scared you away, which is good. Have a good time on Wikipedia, and I hope you make some music-related edits as well. ~~ Shiri 01:50, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it's good to have it over with. Now, I believe it's right and proper to have a formal welcoming:

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them:

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

(PS. Should that happen again, usual redirects are very easy to follow back, but there should be a simple trick to get past the one you, er, encountered. Should you be editing my talk page, the address bar of your browser would read "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kizor&action=edit". Changíng the 'Kizor' to 'Dblevins2' should land you right to editing your own talk page.)

WSAZ

edit

No, I was meaning that a list of current newscaster/employees would be a better fit for WSAZ.com rather than the Wikipedia article, especially when done in list form. This seems to be the trend across Wikipedia. You are indeed correct that it would be inappropriate for a webmaster of a company to edit their article. I will try to be more clear in th eeidt summaries when making similar edits in the future.

That being said, if you wanted to work in a sentence or two like "Tim Irr and Penny Moss are currently the station's top anchors" (better worded, though) into the body of the article, I would have no problem at all with it. I think it basically the list depositories that were irking some of the editors. youngamerican (wtf?) 18:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Courts of the United States

edit

Hi - since you seem to be interested in courts, I was wondering if you could help me plow through a thankless task. I'm adding external links to all the courts at Courts of the United States (preferably to official court cites). If I could get a handful of folks such as yourself to look up and add a handful of links, that would bring the job to a quick close and I could proceed with submitting the artice for featured list consideration.

Kevin Boyce

edit

I understand that you were trying to update Kevin Boyce, but you changed information citing old sources that do not contains the new information, had sentences missing words, and you completely wiped out a ref that a bot had to restore. Please be more careful. §hep¡Talk to me! 17:27, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Clegg

edit

I just removed him from there as uncited and you are putting it back without a citation, why is that? Off2riorob (talk) 18:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I was just having a good look and another editor also has been looking and nothing official yet, or non official either. People assume the title comes with the deputy PM job as it is mostly honorific but it does have to be announced officially as it does give some authority over all the other cabinet ministers I am also looking for a cite to replace. thanks for commenting. Off2riorob (talk) 18:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

William Hague is the new FSOS. An IP just added it with a cite. Off2riorob (talk) 18:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Semi-Retired

edit

I am just checking my account to see if there has been any activity here in a while. I have drastically cut back my editing because of changes in my life. That's not to say I won't come back and make an occasional edit but I may only be around once or twice a year at the most. And, if the past few years holds true, it may be a couple of years between edits. But I can't say I am leaving the project permanently so I guess the best description is that I am semi-retired. Best of luck to everyone and I will see you when I am around. Dblevins2 (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
