Great work!
Thanks for the work reverting vandalism, it is greatly appreciated! There is always a need for more folks to keep an eye out on Wikipedia for vandalism. There are some tools and tips available at WP:VAND, and feel free to write me a note (on the bottom of User_talk:TeaDrinker) if you have any questions or I can help with anything. All the best and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker 06:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice work on restructuring Computer hardware
It looks much better and seems much easier to navigate now. elmindreda 04:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Spatha.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Spatha.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 05:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Godel's theorem
Your edit summary said "please refer to talk page before doing random undoes". The talk page has several people saying they don't think that section is needed, and a thorough list of the serious flaws in the section. Do you see some reason not to remove the section, or you just felt like reverting the removal? &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 02:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When I refered to the talk page, there seemed to be no definitive stance either way. I apoligize if I removed an edit that was widely agreed upon. --DFRussia 23:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

McGill University
Thanks for the help on the McGill University article, it's been the subject of several anonymous IP editors who appear to have a personal stake in the article and refuse to discuss things on the talk page. I don't usually leave messages on IP editors pages (since they never get them), so I left one on the McGill page. Hopefully that'll at least get them to talk it over, but I think the consensus we've established is there. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, just wondering where Wikipedia mentions not to use related images in the body of articles? The map and Harvard shield add dimension to the article and certainly don't take anything away from it.

Image copyright problem with Image:NevanlinnaPrize.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:NevanlinnaPrize.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 06:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello
I agree with your point of view. Could you help me direct McGill to McGill University? Thanks. Ocikat (talk) 00:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

snowdrift game
Hello--I had never heard of the Snowdrift game. It would be great if you could either add a section to Chicken (game) giving more detail about it, or (if it warrants) an article of its own. (It's possible if you don't get to it I will, so far I don't see what's special about it. Is it just that it's iterated?) Thanks in any case. Cretog8 (talk) 10:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Sigh, that's annoying. There was already a perfectly good name! I don't mind rephrasing a game for the purpose of running experiments or teaching a class, but making up new terminology when its not needed just muddies the waters. O well. Thanks for filling me in!

Problems with upload of Image:Walther G22.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Walther G22.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Andris Ambainis


The article Andris Ambainis 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. Minima c  ( talk ) 05:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Google groups search params
I doubt whether that (i.m.o. good) edit will survive, but you might want to add another author parameter to the google search. In stead of this, you might try this. Cheers - and good luck. DVdm (talk) 21:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback, I am just trying to reduce the article to an appropriate size and then maybe hold a vote on whether it is actually worth having this article in the first place --DFRussia (talk) 21:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Masanori Ohya
Hello DFRussia. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Masanori Ohya, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Garrett Lisi
I would like to mention that I'm trying to get a reasonable and NPOV version of Antony Garrett Lisi's page, that currently has been under censorship from User SherryNugil that does not want to include the current status of the Lisi's theory and that wants to keep all the articles and interviews and tv appearances and blog entries and forum discussions about Lisi. Not even for Nobel Prize Laureates there is such a complete list. I am also reporting that user for several reasons and it would be good if you could participate to the discussion giving your opinion, given that in the past you contributed to that page. Look at the discussion page for the last happenings. 24.7.128.58 (talk) 16:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

A quick note
Just wanted to drop a little note here and say I read your article, and wanted to thank you for your efforts here. I can't say I've looked at your edits to agree or disagree with them, but if what you wrote in your article is factual (uncited controversial claims running rampant) then by all means continue to remove them. I don't care if it's Stephen Hawking himself writing the page; if it's uncited, then it's not verifiable and contrary to Wikipedia's policies. Original research is explicitly forbidden and it is very important that claims remain cited to help readers find more information about their topics. Keep up the good work! -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 04:58, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Erdős number information
Hi! Thank you for all of your contributions! :) I noticed that one of them had been deleted, which I think is unjustifiable.  I just reverted a similar deletion, explaining why.  Your point of view on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 04:28, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I just don't think that user realizes the importance of the Edos number in the mathematical community. It is like winning a prize, and those are notable. I don't want to get into an edit war, however. --DFRussia (talk) 23:23, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Your edits to Reading/Wokingham Urban Area
Hello, I see you added an image to the Reading/Wokingham Urban Area. It is a good image and illustrates the article well, but there is one rather major problem with it. It shows not just the Reading/Wokingham urban area but the Farnborough/Aldershot Built-up Area as well. The confusion is no doubt down to them being the same colour in the original source. I have updated the image. Eopsid (talk) 20:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Optima Express


The article Optima Express has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Current refs include a YouTube link (non-RS) and its own website (non-independent). A WP:BEFORE search found a routine announcement, and blogs, 1, 2 (self-described as a blog at here."
