Why Remove ThinkSalmon

Why did you remove the link to ThinkSalmon from the Salmon article? It's a deep, broad and active online resource, with original salmon-related news and information. nep 07:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC) Nevermind; you actually saved the link, sorry. nep 07:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

This user thinks it is ironic that thanks for supporting Cyde's successful RFA came in the form of a userbox.

Here's a userbox for you. --Cyde Weys 04:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails. Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales. If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate! ♫Bucketsofg✐♪

Recent AfD

Hello. You recently participated in an AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taco Bell menu. The article was deleted but is up for deletion review here. I thought you may be interested in participating in that discussion. Ifnord 03:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

FYI

You reverted 24.208.241.169's of an explaination of what "Popo" stands for in the context of a police officer[1]. I would be interested to hear your thoughts at the discussion I just started. (Sorry about the mix up, the origonal message I posted on your page was intended for the IP user. I think I need a break soon to recharge.) Dar-Ape 23:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Danny Phantom discussion

Hello. You recently participated in a discussion on the possible deletion or merger of some Danny Phantom characters. While all the articles were kept, I noted that many of those commenting on the debate suggested merging some characters into a main list. Seeing this, I've compiled a list of some of the minor characters who may not need their own article, and would like the opinions of those who weighed in originally. You can participate in the discussion here. Ral315 (talk) 18:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Eduardo Reck Miranda

At Articles for Deletion, you thought the article Eduardo Reck Miranda worth keeping. I spent some time on it and it still could use a bit cleaning up. Given how Miranda was attacked and continually hurt by this attack being left on Wikipedia, would you mind spending a little time on Eduardo Reck Miranda to improve it somewhat? Thanks.-- Jreferee 19:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice username. — Nearly Headless Nick ^{L} 13:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandal tags

Thank you for reverting vandalism on Wikipedia!

Be sure to put warning tags on the vandal's user talk page (such as {{subst:test}}, {{subst:test2}}, {{subst:test3}}, {{subst:test4}}). Add each of these tags on the vandal's talk page, in sequential order, after each instance of vandalism. Adding warnings to the talk page assists administrators in determining whether or not the user should be blocked. If the user continues to vandalize pages after you add the {{subst:test4}} tag, request administrator assistance at Request for Intervention. Again, thank you for helping to make Wikipedia better. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 23:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I award this barnstar to Yuckfoo for outstanding attention to reversal of vandalism File Éireann 00:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reversal

Thank you for the reversal of List of New Zealand railway lines from the vandalized version. It's really weird how such a "niche" page will prompt somebody to vandalize it. Thank you again. manu3d 00:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

A question

I have noticed the following things about you:

• you are unfailingly polite
• you are pretty active on the project
• you have been editing for around two years
• you do a lot of vandalism reversion

All this adds up, in my book, to a prime candidate for the Wikimop. Have you ever considered this? I would offer to nominate you, but since my nominations of Jeff (User:Badlydrawnjeff) and Stephen (User:Stephen B Streater) both failed, that might be considered the kiss of death :-) Guy (Help!) 15:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

it would be a honor to help wikipedia more so if there is support for this you can count on me with the wikimop as well Yuckfoo 00:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Here we go: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Yuckfoo. Please sign to indicate acceptance and I will add to WP:RFA (or you can). Feel free to add to the statement anything you think I've missed, especially ways in which the tools would help you doing what you do. Best of luck! Guy (Help!) 15:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Stupid newbie question alert...

This may be a really stupid question (I'm still new around here...), but how do you revert an edit made by someone? I've seen a lot of vandalism, but I can't edit it because I don't know what you're supposed to do. Apologies for the dumb question...FamicomJL 03:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

that is ok just click on history tab and select the edit before the vandalism was made and then choose edit this page and next save changes you can also choose two edits to compare versions just to make sure Yuckfoo 00:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have left the following comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thames Valley College. Can you please respond accordingly. Thanks -- u:Chazz/contact/t: 18:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC) Sorry, but you are mistaken. Maybe the comment at the top of the page was a bit too ambiguous, I have therefore changed it. The original article was moved to Thames Valley College (London, Ontario, Canada), by TruthbringerToronto and that has created confusion. Can I ask that you revise your vote with this new information in mind. -- u:Chazz/contact/t: 18:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Village School Charlottesville Virginia AfD

Can you please explain your decision on the Village School Charlottesville Virginia AfD? The provided evidence shows that the sources aren't verifable, since two of them are done from the school's or school's associate website, and the remaining is from a school directory. Also note that the debate is whether the article conforms our notability guidelines, so the writing is irrelevant. Thank you. Michaelas10 (Talk) 13:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Please take another look at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 July 5

Hi, I've redone the Goetz school article on my user pages and made some other comments at the bottom of the deletion-review discussion. I'm asking editors to comment on the changes I've made because they represent a new development, one I think we can form a pretty wide consensus around. I think the article as I've redone it meets the objections of many editors, and it certainly meets WP:V. Please take a look, but I think this deletion review will close today or early tomorrow, so please don't delay, act now and take advantage of this limited-time offer!

Anna Svidersky

Howdy! Back in May 2006 you participated in an AfD discussion on the Anna Svidersky article. There is currently a Request for comment on the talk page of the Svidersky article aimed at resolving a disagreement over the state of the article and the use of the Anna Svidersky title as a redirect to the Mourning Sickness article that was created during the 2nd Svidersky AfD. I hope you don't mind the interruption. Any additional or outside input would be greatly appreciated by all the editors on the Svidersky page. Thank you for your time.

Survey on quality control policies

As part of a project funded by the European Commission (QLectives), we are collecting and analysing data to study quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies in Wikipedia. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is available at this URL. Should you have any questions about this project, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your help! --DarTar (talk) 10:43, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
