I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. To sign up, you only need to click Create account and choose a username and password. You don't need to provide any personal information. If you sign up, you'll have a username that others can use to recognize you and leave you messages on the wiki. You'll be able to sign your name just by typing four tildes (~~~~) when you leave someone else a message. Plus, you (and others) will easily be able to see a list of all your contributions to Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask at the Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 23:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

User signatures do not go in articles

Just FYI, we do not put user signatures (e.g. with ~~~~) in articles themselves, only on talk pages. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 23:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:

Edit summary usage for Throbert McGee: 12% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. Based on the last 81 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 03:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Go God Go

If the material you mentioned on the talk page for Go God Go, is citeable (as you said, through the DVD commentary) then it would be a valuable addition to the article. Please add it and cite where you heard it. Alastairward (talk) 13:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Faux Cyrillic

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Faux Cyrillic. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faux Cyrillic (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Page titles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Mermaid (film) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Mermaid (1997 film). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

In any case, the original title was the correct one, under our title guidelines, so I have undone the attempted move. Thank you. R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:24, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Frot

Thanks for your encouragement. From personal experience, I'd beware of getting too committed to any Wikipedia page, you can fall into all sorts of traps - some set by trolls but most created by yourself. (Usually the person one is arguing with is as genuine as oneself.) However, it's great when anybody does anything to increase the supply of actual sex information to help people live their lives freely and safely: professional moralists and the porn industry pose as opposites, but they together build the great pile of of misinformation that covers this area. --Simon Speed (talk) 12:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Throbert McGee. If you can help out with discussions or edits on this article more often, please do. I need help regarding Mijopaalmc's constant nitpicking of the article. Nothing I do ever seems to satisfy him, and I often worry of violating WP:3RR when interacting with his edits. You may also be interested in weighing in at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#Disputes on Frot with Flyer22. Thank you, and I hope to see you around soon.
