Hello
Please familiarise yourself with WP:OWNTALK. Thanks, Jon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.247.25 (talk) 19:33, 2 November 2010 (UTC) (( Help me)) i am sorry, but i feel that the Air force should not be Exempt from Faux Pas when they make them, the Air Force Symbol before 1998 was not copy write by the US Air Force, and A lowly small Trucking company took the symbol, funny how it barely hit the news but it was a cover up of a really funny dumb assed mistake and got served because of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.191.235 (talk) 14:12, 24 June 2013 (UTC) {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
i need to lock in /Detail ..... it is for a producer under Lil Wayne and we are needing this page to verify him {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
Hello, I'm Signalizing. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Detail, 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. Signalizing (talk) 04:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC){{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}

No harm done
I can understand this misunderstanding. I did remove a large bulk of text there. I wonder, though, whether STiki would still have detected it if I had removed the text one line at a time. Anyway, there's no harm done. ClaretAsh 23:40, 21 December 2011 (UTC) {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
Editing Undone
Hello. I saw you undid a contribution I made to Cosmonaut (album) because it was unconstructive. Indeed it was a minor change, but the translation given for one of the song titles was not only unnatural, but slightly wrong. I changed it so the English translation would more accurately represent the Japanese title. So if it's alright, I'd like to change it back. Thanks.

- Thank you for the barnstar! It was quite a mess with that POV-pushing anon. I was almost certain that IP was from their home office or something. Haha Signalizing (talk) 05:39, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

nice comment
at AfD. Everyone who does a lot of work slips up this way sometimes. I certainly have. But I remembered her name, having nominated the first article also. DGG ( talk ) 23:26, 30 June 2013 (UTC) {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
PROD at Vulfpeck
Hi,
A PROD can be removed if anybody objects to the article's deletion, and should not be replaced. I've reverted your [1]re-addition of the PROD at Vulfpeck. If you still believe the article should be deleted, it should be sent to AFD. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 15:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Duly noted. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Signalizing (talk) 15:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Article for creation declined
Ivey Business Review page I was creating was declined on June 30, 2013 by you, citing poor evidence of notability. I just wanted clarification on which of the notability criteria the article is lacking. From my perspective, the article seems to meet the criteria for notability. The depth of coverage for most of the sources linked is not substantial, but a couple of the sources are substantial (the Globe and Mail link for example). None of the links carry merely trivial coverage. The above mentioned link is also directed at a national audience, as it is a major nationwide newspaper in Canada. Adding to the audience criteria, one of the links is from Reuters, an international news source. While some of the sources are not independent, the above two mentioned sources, as well as all the other newspaper sources, are all independent sources. Please let me know which of the criteria you believe warrant a rejection of the page.-- 198.84.172.99 (talk) 23:20, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Talkback
Message added 01:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I am curious as to why my edits regarding Sukhawat Ali Khan's new album were not considered relevant by your automated scanner? He has a new album that needs to be listed under his discography. This has been a real time waster contrary to what I thought wikipedia was all about. Please make this easier for people if wikipedia is for the people. {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
Battle of Siffeen
Hi,
Can you delete it because a page called Battle of Siffin already exists. {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
Battle of Siffeen
Well page title Battle of Siffin is actually misspelled. The correct spelling is Battle of Siffeen. But someone keeps moving it back to the incorrect spelling. I tried moving th page back to Battle of Siffeen but its not letting me because that page already exists. But thanks for you help. {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}

VisualEditor newsletter
Hey Signalizing! We've just deployed some fixes to the VisualEditor. These include:
- "Edit" will load the latest version, not the version you're looking at (bug 49943)
- "Edit" will load the latest version, not the version you edited last time if this is your second edit (bug 50441)
- VE edit section links will load the latest, not original, version in diff view preview (bug 50925)
- <big><big>Foo</big></big> and similar repeated tags will not get corrupted any more (bug 49755)
In the meantime, testing is proceeding well, and hopefully we can get some more fixes out over the next couple of days. If you're interested in helping out, we have a set of open tasks we'd really appreciate your assistance with :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 07:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Douglas J McCarthy Wikipedia page
Hi Signalizing,
This is Jason Fiber, I manage the artist Douglas J McCarthy and I am the one you posted a notice to about my removal of the following content from the Douglas page:
McCarthy's first solo album was originally titled "Life Is Sucking The Life Out Of Me". The album was written, recorded, and mixed at Easier with songwriter/musician/producer Stephen Papke and British House DJ/producer Mark Bell. All songs were co-written by Douglas McCarthy, Stephen Papke, and Mark Bell. This album is yet to be released in its entirety as it is pending a legal copyright dispute. The album includes the tracks: "Demon Prophet", "Fall", "Someone Like Me", "Finding Clues", "Hey", "What My Gonna Do", "Find You", and "Death Is King". Four of the tracks have been published by Pylon Records and digitally by Shaboom Records, under the album title "Kill Your Friends", without permission and proper credit to the songwriters. These tracks include "Hey", "Death Is King", "Demon Prophet", and "Find You". Cyrus Rex and Jeff Smith use Easier original studio performances/master recordings as backing tracks at live shows, via laptop computers.
The reason I removed this content is because the person who added it, and keeps restoring it, Stephen Papke, is cyber terrorizing Douglas. NONE OF THE ABOVE is true. You can see that he's not citing any sources for this. He seems to have only one goal in mind, and that's to give Douglas a hard time. I don't care to have my name associated with the Wikipedia page so I just keep doing this anonymously but you can reach me, if you like, at jason superfecta.com
Thanks

VE newsletter
Hey Signalizing
We just deployed another VisualEditor release; bugs fixed include:
- Firefox 13/14 has been temporarily blacklisted, to avoid the insertion of broken links [[./that look like this]] (50720)
- Changing a reference in a template should no longer produce the bright red "you don't have a references block!" error (bugzilla:50423)
- Notices are now shown if you're editing a protected or semi-protected page (bugzilla:50415)
- The template inspector will no longer invite you to insert parameters that are already being used (50715)
- Same as above, but with aliases (50717)
- Parameter names in the template dialogue now word-wrap (50800)
- The link inspector will not show in the top left if you hit the return key while opening it (49941)
- Hitting return twice in the link editor will no longer introduce a new line that overwrites the link (51075)
- Oddly-named categories no longer cause corruption (50702)
- The toolbar no longer occasionally covers the cursor (48787)
- Changing the formatting of text no longer occasionally scrolls you upwards (50792)
Not specific bugs, but other things; cacheing is now improved, so people should stop seeing temporary breaking when the VisualEditor updates, and RTL support has received some patches. I hope this newsletter is helpful to people; I'll send out another one with the next deployment :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 10:09, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Helenius.
Hey Signalized.
I got an edit on Helenius edited.
It said:
"The AaB fans tributechant to Helenius after he had scored was "Vi elsker vold og kokain og Nicklas Helenius"(We love violence and cocain and Nicklas Helenius)"
It is an tribute chant to Helenius and not negative at all.
This youtube video will prove it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK94YQdTjiE&list=LLCiFrgd8XAmC3zJXi0CTL4w
I have some additional details on Helenius. Shall I write on Helenius page along with the tribute chant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LarsJordansen (talk • contribs) 21:03, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
