Self-hating Jew/Uncle Tom
A good point. I hadn't thought of that parallel. Welcome to Wikipedia. Marsden 16:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Apparently no-one else has thought of that "parallel" either; that's what makes it original research. Jayjg (talk) 18:33, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to tell you ...
... not to be discouraged by Jayjg's and SlimVirgin's ever-rising hurdles for what they think you must do in order to make your edits, but to be honest, this is how Wikipedia works on contentious topics, and Jay and Slim are accomplished and powerfully placed practicioners of the art. It is likely to get worse, and it may never get better. Marsden 20:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

"... in short, a Jew who displays evidence of anti-Semitism"
ALR --

I was going to delete this sentence that you added at self-hating Jew, barring that you protest against me doing so. See Talk:Self-hating_Jew.

your test worked
Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --W.marsh 16:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Creativity article
Nice catch on the spam links -- I missed them when I was looking over the article earlier this week. --David.alex.lamb 20:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

West Memphis 3
Thanks for your contributions to West Memphis 3. I have begun to lookup references for this article. In the future, instead of tagging a large number of sentences with the template, please put the  template at the top of the page or section instead. Thanks. --Hetar 08:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Order
What is your justification for wanting to merge the Order with Robert Jay Mathews? This doesn't seem to make much sense, since the group was co-founded by David Lane who is still alive. I have put in a request for feedback over at Wiki Project: Terrorism concerning these entries, and sooner or later I will get around to editing them to a more encyclopaedic style, as I already have edited David Lane into shape. (You can go ahead and reply here - I'll watch for it) --WeniWidiWiki 07:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Because Mathews basically isn't famous for anything except being in the Order, and because the article on him is actually largely about the Order, it seems to me that the biographical details about him, and the details about the Order that aren't in the Order article, could be put in the Order article, and his article be redirected to there. --Apeloverage 07:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

OK - that's why I asked. I don't really have a problem with that, although the "fanbase" might. You may want to clarify your intentions: You want over at Robert Mathews and  over at the Order entry. (You might want to double check the spelling of the last name - I think it is incorrect). --WeniWidiWiki 08:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Keith Windschuttle
Hi. I've move the text you recently inserted into the Keith Windschuttle article to Talk:Keith_Windschuttle for discussion. Please join in. Cheers, CWC (talk) 14:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Immortal Technique
Would you please read the page's talk page? This has been discussed and will only remain in the article if there is a reputable source that backs up claims of misogyny. Lyrics themselves are open to interpretation and would violate WP:OR. Gdo01 11:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for providing the sources. I've done some tweaks to your edit. Gdo01 12:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. QBorg 14:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edit provide links that fails WP:VERIFY and WP:EL. And you vandalize an article. This is your second warning, if you persist you will be blocked from editing wikipedia. QBorg 14:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Joseph Ferrante
A tag has been placed on Joseph Ferrante, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. exolon 19:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Genocide denial
I've reverted your edit to the Genocide denial article, because you deleted a relevant section of the Chomsky paragraph to add your own. It'd be better if you included your link within that paragraph, as the two combined would make a more neutral statement. Otherwise, it might be more relevant to just leave both sections out, and point the article to the Chomsky critcism article. -- Kesh 21:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

That is a fantastic illustration and it adds a lot to the book burning article. Thank you for finding it. Hopefully we'll someday find a cleaner copy of it. --Gmaxwell 21:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! --Apeloverage 06:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Worker Cooperative
i'm calling for a citation-finding drive to get rid of the 'no citation' banners at the top of Worker Cooperative. if you're interested in playing, i'd love to have you on board. -- frymaster 04:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Jonathon Sharkey
First time I've been confused with a loony vampire! Thanks for the morning laugh! Seriously, if you look at some of my edits [][][][], you'll see that I'm the one who added the cited facts, not the miscellaneous OR supplied by the subject and his sockpuppet "family member". Also, while I am a new user and I started with his article, I am now light years away from being a WP:SPA. Not that it matters much, except that I agree he shouldn't be editing his own article (especially with OR and since he's been indefbanned), but I wouldn't want to be banned under the theory that I am he. Take care, Butseriouslyfolks 17:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, no worries.--Apeloverage 15:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Donnie Davies
Hi, I noticed you made some changes to the Donnie Davies article. As you can see, the article is being reviewed for deletion as Feburary 2, 2007. If you're interested, please participate in the discussion! Thanks. --SquatGoblin 18:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the image you added to The Dresden Dolls
The image you added violated a couple of policies, which I thought I would bring up here, so you know for the future. Firstly, the caption was somewhat original research- comparing the image of the band to the image of two other people, without a source. Perhaps if the band listed the film as the inspiration for their image, or critics had compared them, it would be acceptable. Perhaps they have, but I didn't see a source cited.

In any case, that is not the main issue. The main issue is that the image was fair use- fair use images are badddd. We want to minimise their usage, and when they are used, their usage should add massively to the article, while adhering to our (very strict) fair use guidelines. This did neither- it was just decoration, and was not strictly needed. Feel free to contact me if you need any help. J Milburn 19:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Remnant Fellowship church
You redirected this some time ago. Has the edit history up to that point been lost? I couldn't find it, though I am still a very inexperienced admin.DGG 06:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there was anything before that. I often start 'articles' which are just redirections to an already existing article. --Apeloverage 09:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Sylvin Rubinstein
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sylvin Rubinstein, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sylvin Rubinstein is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sylvin Rubinstein, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 05:32, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

As the reviewing admin, I'm not deleting it, but have made a series of comments on the article talk page. If you cannot fix it, i will stubbify it. You are a well-established and reliable editor who have worked on a number of different topics, primarily films. Perhaps you can fix it, based on the information there from myself and another editor. I think there is enough in English DGG (talk) 17:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Eric Campbell (actor)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Eric Campbell (actor), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Eric Campbell. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:13, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you omit the part of the robber by accident? Cheers, CapnZapp (talk) 17:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Homosexuality
The book contains occassional references to homosexuality, which assume that it is a mental condition in need of treatment and capable of cure. By 1978 the American Psychiatric Association and American Psychological Association had ceased to classify homosexuality as a mental disorder.

from M. Scott Peck's article is inflammatory, unsourced, and incorrect. Unless you have some page numbers, don't put it back and please research your work in the future.

 * Nothing establishing notability of this topic - a free online indie game with only minor mentions on one website

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Mazes and Minotaurs. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Apeloverage! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 15:43, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Aubrey Levin


The article Aubrey Levin has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Keegan (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, the article has one single source, a one off from the Guardian. Can you quantify how this disparaging article with allegations of misconduct contributes to the sum of all human knowledge?  How is this appropriate for Wikipedia?  I ask these questions not looking for policy quotes, but your actual intellectual rationale for this subject worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia. Keegan (talk) 04:34, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Help (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cassie (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Hi, I've reverted your addition, because it was unsourced, and furthermore seems to me to be original research. (I know that the article has lots of this already, but that is not a reason to add more). Unless you can find a reliable source that says that the Fringe is often referred to as "Edinburgh Fringe Festival", this remark doesn't belong in the article. --ColinFine (talk) 19:27, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
