Donnelly and Cooper
I understand your caution in removing the lyrics to this song. I am sorry that I didn't get far enough on the article last night to make it clear that the song is nearly 200 years old and out of copyright. My bad. --Colemcginnis (talk) 17:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Turn So Cold
Hello Deadlyops. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Turn So Cold, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Dab pages
Thanks for your efforts to improve the encyclopedia. Let me share with you something I just learned myself, not too long ago.

On "dab" (diambiguation) pages, the Manual of Style requires that there be only one link per entry. Usually this is the name of the article, sometimes, when there is no article, there will be a link to an article related to the entry. Accordingly, I will be reverting this edit, but you should know that I did the same thing several times before someone explained things to me. Hope I've made myself clear, if not, just go and wade through that MOS page yourself. HuskyHuskie (talk) 00:57, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alan Lawrence Sitomer


The article Alan Lawrence Sitomer has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * BLP possibly fails WP:AUTHOR

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kudpung (talk) 05:33, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Drive – Final push
Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters (talk) 04:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Overlooked newbie
(Thought maybe I'd cc you on this; copied from Welcoming Committee discussion page)

In reading the article:William Safire talkpage, and attempting to respond to the last comment, I found that the reader occasionally edits WP, but has never been welcomed. I was going to borrow your template and create his talkpage, but realized I'd be offering help I may be ill-equipped to provide. I'm not trying to be modest: I can copyedit, and I don't mind helping anyone if able, but I'm not that available, and not too conversant with WP policies and practices. Thought it'd be better for someone more able to provide real help to sign the template. Also, I'm not sure why this person fell through the cracks, but his concern was voiced in 2009, and has not yet been addressed! His username is Jalwikip, and he has had 3 edits in the last month, so just barely active. I know there is concern about retaining and encouraging editors...

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Carrie abell
Hello Deadlyops, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted Carrie abell, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 07:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:24, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
