Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014
Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)


 * This message has been sent by p joe f on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).

Vandalism
I was just trying to remove a bad part. "my Butt Forest" should be "Cloud Forest." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.238.201 (talk)

It is not vandalism. It is accurate. Nothing false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sophie201 (talk • contribs) 13:11, 13 November 2014‎

November 2014
Your recent editing history at Jonathan Gruber (economist) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * I see your opponent was blocked, but edit warring even if you are right, is still an issue. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:37, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * What I was doing was a clear exemption under applicable 3RR policy ("Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language."). I disagree with your contention that acting against vandalism is an "issue" --Booksworm Talk? 18:42, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't want to get into a big thing, but adding POV info, even if inappropriate, is not vandalism. your edits were in the right spirit (and I agree with them), but many have been blocked for similar actions (myself included). You have a stronger argument under point 7 of 3rr but even that says to take it to the boards. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Read before you revert Food irradiation
It did not fit the structure of the artical, made as few changes as possible to match format. Go ahead and change content to make it better, just dont revert please. 192.136.15.19 (talk) 19:04, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited International School of Geneva, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free image File:SHV Holdings Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:SHV Holdings Logo.jpg. 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) 17:49, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Donau-Kurier (CityNightLine)


The article Donau-Kurier (CityNightLine) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Delete per WP:NOTDIR; WP:BEFORE reveals no sources rising to the level required by WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for December 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marcelo Claure, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bolivian. 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.)
