February 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Your recent edit to Cat senses

Whoa, calm down! There's really no need to get this worked up over a single picture. Remember that it's better to fix the problem or discuss it on the relevant talk page than it is to attack another editor in an edit summary. - Jredmond (talk) 20:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

No Personal Attacks warning

PLease dn't make personal attacks on Wikipedia, as you did here [1] [2]. It's always better to discuss matters civilly. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 01:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

1RR on abortion-related articles

Just as an FYI, abortion-related articles are currently subject to 1RR (meaning no more than 1 revert in a 24-hour period per editor). Reverts are often construed pretty loosely, so I just wanted to let you know given the recent back-and-forth editing with regard to the controversial image, so you don't run afoul of the 1RR inadvertently.

Survey

Hi Pastel kitten!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Hello. I have made a request to the Arbitration Committee to amend the Abortion case, in relation to the structured discussion that was to take place. The request can be found here. Regards, Steven Zhang ^{Join the DR army!} 04:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Abortion article titles notification

Hey Pastel kitten. This is just a notification that a binding, structured community discussion has been opened by myself and Steven Zhang on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. As you were named as a involved party in the Abortion case, you may already know that remedy 5.1 called for a "systematic discussion and voting on article names". This remedy is now being fulfilled with this discussion. If you would like to participate, the discussion is taking place at WP:RFC/AAT.

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Cat eye.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
