Disambiguation link notification for October 27
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 in science, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saltwater. 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.

Proposed deletion of Anna Lore
edit
The article Anna Lore has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

List of films set in the future
editPerhaps the Star Wars films have not been on the list because the very first film released opens with "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...". Lucas' comments on the time setting tend towards describing it in the past or in some way outside of known time... I'd certainly describe the films as "futuristic", but that doesn't necessarily mean "in the future". What do you think? Cheers Robevans123 (talk) 14:07, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Interesting, I'd say they're futuristic too. The Star Wars expanded universe spans about 30,000 to 200,000 years while the films cover about 100 years. Lightspeed2012 14:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 7
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Stop
editWould you please stop reverting 76.20.25.243 and try to understand such edits [1]? Materialscientist (talk) 03:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Materialscientist: I think I made a massive mistake?? Lightspeed2012 03:38, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- In those edits like [2], yes, because 76.20.25.243 was simply removing the redundant category (and also trying to better categorize Italians and such by region) but I haven't checked for other types of edits. Materialscientist (talk) 03:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Materialscientist: I changed over 100 edits, revert them back. Lightspeed2012 03:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Just please don't revert me (when reverting you) without explaining. Materialscientist (talk) 03:46, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Materialscientist: I meant to SAY I will NOT revert your edits. I hope we are at a good standing. Lightspeed2012 03:49, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- The issue seems fixed. Mass reverts are always tricky, and even experienced editors like myself do them sometimes without understanding all details. Materialscientist (talk) 03:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Sandbox is for everyone
editWhile you may have been conducting a "test", the sandbox is for everyone and superloading it with irrel content in an attempt to break it, prevents those who do not have high speed connections from accessing the public space. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- @TheRedPenOfDoom: I was only testing the capabilities for the specific computer I was using. BTW, According to your archives, you've been addressed before about vandalism. Lightspeed2012 18:42, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, lots of people cut and paste the vandal warnings i have left them back onto my page as protest that their vandalism has been removed. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:49, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
AFD
editHi Lightspeed2012,
I've decided to close the AFD you nominated as "Withdrawn" as with the greatest of respect you seem clueless to it all,
I would strongly suggest you read WP:BEFORE before renominating - You're expected to search for sources yourself before nominating any article,
The community don't take kindly to editors who nominate without following BEFORE and so if you thought todays AFD was unpleasant - You haven't see nothing yet! 
,
Also you can be blocked for repeated issues like this so as I say take a read at BEFORE and WP:AFD,
Thanks and Happy Editing, –Davey2010Talk 22:40, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Davey2010: Thank you, I will follow the correct procedure next time. Lightspeed2012 23:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- No worries - Everyone new here are a bit lost at first but once you get in to the swing of things it's a piece of pie! :),
- Happy Editing! :) –Davey2010Talk 23:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Matthew Santoro and Nicole Arbour
editHey! I noticed you said something like "it hasn't been confirmed if they got back together" while talking about Matthew Santoro and Nicole Arbour. Since when did they break up? Was there a YouTube video or a Twitter update saying that they did?
RiMiEg007 (talk) 07:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- @RiMiEg007: There was a video(link seen in history) on Matthew's channel posted on the 7th of March explaining about the breakup. But its been made private since then. Lightspeed2012 13:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- @MusikAnimal: Thank you, looks like just after you added the template to Nicole Arbour, someone tried to make unnecessary changes. Thanks again :) Lightspeed2012 19:02, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

List of US serial killers, table sorting
editHi there. I just wanted to hear why you decided to revert my edit which made one of the tables use natural sorting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/815080644 duncan.lithgow (talk) 23:09, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- @DuLithgow: Hello, I reverted it because I thought I could fix it somehow. Your edit didn't fix the sorting, all the numbers are still being sorted by one decimal place instead of two. But I couldn't fix it either and forgot to change it back. However, please note i'm a novice in editing Wikipedia; Perhaps I made a judgemental error.
