Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 03:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Mimi Rogers
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Mimi Rogers, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! --Yamla 14:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

This is a peculiar comment, because Acccording To The Wikipedia Mimi was in the March 1993 issue of "Playboy" in the USA. Do see "People who were in 'Playboy' in the 1990s. Further, Mimi Rogers herself was on "The Tonight Show" this week, and she and Jay Leno openly discussed her nude appearance in Playboy "13 years ago". Now, 2006 minus 13 equals 1993, Lo and Behold.

Mariah Carey
Please note that Fair use criteria states free-licensed images must always be used if located, and that they should never be replaced by non-free ones. Also, the description pages for all non-free images must have a valid explanation of why the use of the image on Wikipedia consistutes fair use; see Help:Image page and Fair use. Thanks.

 * Up yours, you ingrate. And I did explain this is a free-use image distributed by ABC-TV. Like it or lump it. Some people need to learn to mind their own business: you do not OWN the Wikipedia or its article on Mariah Caryy,

Please STOP harming ACURATE AND FACTUAL ARTICLE: SUPERMODEL
PLEASE do not edit what I've confirmed. These girls are supermodels. I am a supermodel expert. I have dozens of magazines. Even go to thefashionspot.com, and EVERYONE THERE ARE HARCORE FANS OF SUEPRMODELS, AND KNOW WHO AND WHO ISN'T A SUPERMODEL. Lil Flip246 22:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

You have removed and re-edited OFFICIAL FACTS, and changed it around. i.e. You put Niki Taylor and Yamilia as coming out in the late 90s, when the truth is they came out in the early 90s! Please do not remove information and re-edit stuff of which you have no knowledge of. Lil Flip246 22:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dale101usa"


 * You're crazy! As is stated elsewhere in the Wikipedia (Hah!) a Supermodel should be well-known individuals.

Putting little-known characters under the "Supermodel" character is crazy. The Key is to be well-known, not just to be known by some sort of cognostici (SP?) "in-the-know" individuals. By the way, Ms. Diaz-Rahi's first name only has one "i" in it - if you knew anything about Spanish and how things are spelled and pronounced. Furthermore, Yamila Diaz-Rahi was an UNKNOWN until she started appearing in "Sports Illustrated" in the Late 1990's, and the same applies to Nikki Taylor. Just because some 14-15-year-old does some modeling does not make her a Supermodel. This is a job that required some Maturity and Worldwide exposure....

A "supermodel expert"????? You've flushed your brain down the commode! The whole point is that to know who is a supermodel, you don't have to be any expert, just like to know who is the President of the USA or France, or the Queen of England, you do not need to be a Political Scientist... Dale A Wood, a man with Common Sense, who has kept his brains out out the commode!

List of Astronauts
Thanks for adding details to the List of astronauts by name. However, inserting personal opinions like "So What?" after an entry is not particularly helpful. If you feel the content is not worthy of a Wikipedia article, then be bold and edit or remove it and provide an explanation in the edit summary or on the talk page. Regards Rillian 20:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

==I think that indicating someone as "The first Jewish astronaut" or the "first Black Russian female cosmonaut" is irrelevant and rather dimwitted, and a big "So What". This fades into Deep, Deep Insignificance compared to "He/She was killed on thus and such spaceflight". Please put your brains into perspective about what is important and what is not important!

Cheryl Tweedy
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Driller thriller 12:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Removing irrelevant NONSENSE is not vandalism - and so, you need to do some serious work on you vocabulary, and probably an overhaul to your brains, too.

Modelling/modeling
The word is spelled "modelling" in English and "modeling" in American English, so both are acceptable for use in Wikipedia, as this is the English Language Wikipedia, not the American English Wikipedia. You should refrain from editing articles purely to force a particular variant, but I'll leave your edit as is for the Estella Warren article, as it is about a US person. Robwingfield (talk) 11:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Day of the Year articles
Regarding this edit: long-standing practice is that if someone has a Wikipedia article, they're automatically entitled to listings under 'Births and 'Deaths' on these pages. Please do not delete valid entries. --CalendarWatcher 13:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, please do NOT add editorial comments to entries, such as 'contraversial'. --CalendarWatcher 13:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Frank Jasper (Vision Quest) Article Scheduled For Deletion
Hi there, You have shown through your contributions that you're a fan of the 1980s movie "Vision Quest". I created an article on actor Frank Jasper who played the villian, Brian Shute, in the movie. I've also included information about what Dr. Jasper is doing now. Many people have wondered through Wikipedia and Imdb whatever happened to him, and I've tried to put this information out there for everyone. Unfortunately, some people think the article should be deleted for whatever reason. If you loved the movie as much as I did, please go to this link and voice your support before the article is deleted. Thanks a lot. I would appreciate your support very much.

It/they
Something I noticed on the Jaime Pressly edits, and thought worth mentioning. In British English, organisations are quite often treated as plural, so "The magazine listed her as *their* person of the week" would generally be considered correct. (Brits also treat sports teams as plural, so "Manchester United won *their* first game of the season.") Of course since JP is American, US English is correct for that particular article, so you were right to make the change - but it's not wrong in all varieties of English. 81.159.57.9 02:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Chris-Evert-Wheaties-box-32-360.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Chris-Evert-Wheaties-box-32-360.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Veronica-Varekova-bikini-SI04-cover-164-900.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. Jusjih 03:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Agnetha-Faltskog-dark-dress+boots-65-500.jpg}
Thank you for uploading File:Agnetha-Faltskog-dark-dress+boots-65-500.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Trieste
I see you're active on the Trieste article. However, I have to notify you that the article uses predominantly British spelling and that per WP:ENGVAR editors should not change the spelling from British to American or vice versa without a good reason. Admiral Norton (talk) 19:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

Common or alternate names for schools
I don't know why you have decided that common abbreviations, atlernate names or nicknames of universities and colleges are suddenly not worthy for inclusion on Wikipedia. Certainly, I don't know why you've decided to make this change only on the University of Miami article. However, if you continue to remove that information without consensus, which is referenced and entirely valid content for the lead of the article, you may be blocked for disruptive editing and/or edit warring.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 03:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Demonym
The term demonym is a word used for people or the inhabitants of a place. Regardless of that, changing United States to American, as you did here, potentially introduces an ambiguity, since American refers to 2 continents, not a single country.

Since we've interacted before, and you emailed me personally, I'm also going to be a bit bold, and give you some advice, which you are free to ignore, of course. Your edit summaries when making corrections such as this can appear to some to be rather condescending and abrasive, especially when you give people instructions like: "do not go around making up words ad libtum!". and "it should not be used at all, since it gets out of date in an INSTANT. Get it?".

I hope you take this advice in the spirit it is intended. None of us here knows everything, and everyone contributes in good faith. I've always found you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Begoon &thinsp; talk  12:35, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
