What a great job you are doing on the article Dave Winer
You really are pulling together so many loose threads that have accumulated over years and weaving them into a coherent, interesting article. I really appreciate the time and thought you put into making Wikipedia better for everybody. betsythedevine (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've merely been been pulling the "coverage" out of the "Coverage and interviews" section, putting it into the article body instead. ARK (talk) 11:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Ark, please quit adding untruths to my talk page in an attempt to have an admin ban me.--Irelan12 (talk) 16:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Ark, the Dave Winer page is mostly fluff. A lot of those things are clearly from the company and he did not invent podcasting, rss, or anything else. Lets be fair.--Irelan12 (talk) 18:46, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to 2011 Tottenham riots, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * Hi Teapot -- thanks for reverting that piece of vandalism. I can assure you that I did not post it, although it appears under my name (please review my posting history to confirm this statement). I have no idea how this has happened, and I'm rather concerned, frankly, as it looks like my account has been compromised. ARK (talk) 16:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Chris gulker.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

Orphaned non-free image File:Thatcamp-logo.svg
Thanks for uploading File:Thatcamp-logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jeffrey Zeldman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jakob Nielsen ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Jeffrey_Zeldman check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Jeffrey_Zeldman?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Two requests for addition
Hello. May I request an edit for The Jagadish Vasudeva page. In the awards section, one important award must be included. It is - Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Award which is the highest national award for promotion of sports. It has been given to Jagadish Vasudeva. Kindly include it. Another request is the mention of another NY Times bestselling book which is a recent one. It is called "Karma - A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny". It has been praised by people like Will Smith, Tom Brady, Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey Deepak Chopra, among many others. It is extremely important that this book is mentioned in his Wikipedia page.
 * Thanks, I've added both. The award went to Isha Foundation, however, so I wrote it up there. ARK (talk) 22:33, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

July 2023
Hello, ARK. I noticed that your recent edit to Calanca added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 23:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for catching this error! In 2020, a government body of the Swiss canton of Graubünden issued a full set of the canton's municipal coats of arms in SVG format, among other formats. I'm in the process of uploading these 101 files to Wikimedia Commons and replacing the older, non-official arms in the respective municipalities' Wikipedia articles. Thus, I uploaded the official arms of the municipality of Calanca and inserted it to a number of Wikipedia articles. When adding it to the English Wikipedia, I slipped up and, without noticing, used an incorrect file name. This caused the error you did notice. I shall now add the file to the English Wikipedia's article on Calanca using the correct file name. ARK (talk) 08:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
