I simply removed the unverified nonsense that had been listed under his early life. The links provided as reference are not verifiable. One is a fanzine, and the other leads to a dead page. Therefore the information is not only obviously untrue. It's unverified. --86.176.172.179 (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism of my user page
I've been on such an extended Wikibreak, I only now noticed that you reverted vandalism on my user page back in January. Thanks VERY much! --Art Smart Chart/ Heart 19:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Very frustrated. Help!
It seems that every time I add unbiased content to pages, it gets deleted. What's the deal? I don't use company links and always back-up my claim with published online documents from third parties. Help is needed! Thank you. GortGetsGoing (talk) 17:33, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Beyond This Place (2010) declined
You nominated this as lacking sufficient context to identify the subject. At the time of your nomination the first sentence was "Beyond This Place is a documentary film directed by Kaleo La Belle" which clearly establishes that the article is about a documentary film directed by Mr. LaBelle. The circumstances under which an article may be speedy deleted are deliberately narrow so that articles created in good faith have a fair chance to be kept. Please be more careful with future taggings. Thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Abbs Valley -Boissevain - Pocahontas Rescue Squad
Abbs Valley -Boissevain - Pocahontas Rescue Squad was marked by you as a speedy delete candidate. I declined that request because the article was only created about three minutes before you tagged it. I think we should give them time to improve it first. If you disagree you may PROD it of course. JodyBtalk 21:04, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Now this is a horse of a different color. While some users feel that we should give articles time, it's unlikely any amount of time would make a small town paramedic and rescue squad notable, and the reasoning: "This is a community based volunteer organization that deserves a voice in Wikipedia." shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is and how it works. I've deleted the article. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course I will not wheel-war with you but I think you are a little fast. You think it is not worthy so you are not even willing to wait a day and see what the author adds? His hangon statement doesn't do him any good but but are we really pressed for bytes on the server? You could be completely right that more time would not help but we just don't know do we? As one admin to another you could have at least mentioned it to me first. JodyBtalk 21:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a small rural paramedic and ambulance service. It would have to have done something pretty darn dramatic to be notable, and if it had the author probably would have mentioned it right off the bat. I've left a personalized notice on the original author's talk explaining what the problems were and directing them to alternative outlets that might find such content more acceptable.

John Seymour (died 1464)
I declined your speedy tag on this article, insofar as he's fairly obviously notable (as a Member of Parliament). In the future, please be cognizant of the fact that new editors may need more than the five minutes you allowed in this particular case to get their article into a state worth assessing. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Modern Greek
Thank you. But it was not a vandalism or a test. I used the list of the Greek Phonetic Alphabet. --109.242.73.120 (talk) 16:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I reverted it back to original. Thank you for warning me! -- Cyber  Diablo  17:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Rolling release
The "Rolling release" article needs some oversight -- it's starting to get fugly. The article is self-contradictory in that it now lists Fedora Rawhide as a rolling release in the Examples section even though later in the Development branches section it (correctly) mentions that Fedora Rawhide is a development testbed. The person who mistakenly added Chrome OS and Chromium OS to the Examples section used his own post on another website as the citation for their inclusion in the References section. In the Examples section, the citation for Arch Linux incorrectly links to the aptosid manual and the citation for aptosid incorrectly links to Unity Linux documentation. For the sake of article continuity, in the Examples section I would also suggest providing a link for Chakra GNU/Linux, as all of the other distros listed there have internal or external links provided. Also, the Examples section could use common punctuation mark formatting. G.Ceara (talk) 20:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.71.238 (talk)
 * Agreed! The page needs more attention. I'll try to fix it a bit. -- Cyber  Diablo  16:59, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released
Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox -.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:26, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Turkish help needed
Hello ErkinBatu, I'm contacting you because we need some Turkish translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on tr.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Turkish Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 22:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The 1000 Challenge (Turkey)
Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on The 10,000 Challenge and The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
