To our newest Rollbacker
I have just granted you rollback rights because I believe you to be trustworthy, and because you have a history of reverting vandalism and have given in the past or are trusted in the future to give appropriate warnings. Please have a read over WP:ROLLBACK and remember that rollback is only for use against obvious vandalism. Please use it that way (it can be taken away by any admin at a moment's notice). You may want to consider adding Rollback and User rollback to your userpage. Any questions, please drop me a line. Best of luck and thanks for volunteering!  wadester 16  06:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research
Froth,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.

Take the survey

Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of L.O.S.T.
A tag has been placed on L.O.S.T. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  fetch  comms  ☛ 15:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reference_desk/header problem
I'm leaving you this note because you are noted as the header designer. there's a minor problem with the template that I've noted at Wikipedia_talk:Reference_desk, but there's a much bigger problem that you've used the header talk page as a content page. This leaves no place to discuss problems with the header template itself. really, the header template and the talk header templates should each have their own pages (with their own talk pages) - how difficult would it be to revise things to make that happen? -- Ludwigs 2 06:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Druid Days/Prank
While the Druid religious designation was a prank, the Druid Student Center and the Bandersnatch humor newspaper (published by the Druid Free Press) was real and lasted many years.

The heading was intended (I think) to echo "College Days."

The first time I registered as a druid was spring of 1961. This was *long* before the neo pagan movement got started, but I have often wondered if this was the origin or contributed to the origin of the much later neo pagans.

Either way is ok, but I don't think the change is really needed since the prank is explained in the paragraph.

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative
Hi Froth,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

SOPA-related discussion
Hello. Because of your comments regarding the SOPA blackout, I thought you might be interested in this discussion. As a guideline, WP:POINT is supposed to reflect the broad consensus of the Wikipedia community. PSWG1920 (talk) 03:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

RefDesk header
Hi Froth! I know it's been a while since you were involved, but I'm hoping we could have your assistance on the RefDesk again. A decision has been made to shorten the headers for the RefDesk (there are a couple of recent discussions, including here and on the current talk page). The proposed new text is currently here. I can see that you're currently not very active on en-WP, but I hope you'll be able to help us out and/or suggest ways to make the headers less daunting for other admins to tackle :-).

canker sore, mouth ulcer
reverted good faith edits: Thank you, Lesion  ( talk ) 12:11, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * canker sore is more related to aphthous stomatitis (aka "canker sores") than to the parent mouth ulcer page. Aphthous stomatitis has a wikilink back to the parent mouth ulcer page.
 * ulceration by definition is breach of the epithelial continuity. Therefore thermal and electrical burns which breach the epithelium can create mouth ulcers.
 * Apparently people do chew on live wires often...stripping wire with teeth during DIY mostly I would imagine, or children, but I've not personally come across this. It is sourced... Lesion  ( talk ) 12:43, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Calibration.png or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

July 2014
Your recent editing history at Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.

Minute of arc
Greetings, Froth. I don't really feel like reverting your last edit at Minute of arc. If you feel strongly enough about it, I'll let it be. But I tried to indicate in my reversion edit that I don't really think it adds anything to the article or paragraph, even though it is true. It's a fact of geometry, but not especially relevant to the topic at hand. An encyclopedia article by definition needs to sift material and strain out according to relevance. If we don't keep alert to that here, every article would burgeon in size and become unwieldy to read. Think it over, and see if you don't agree. Evensteven (talk) 22:42, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * If you're concerned about the size of Wikipedia, then I find it strange that you support calling out the equator and meridians specifically. You can more concisely communicate the same idea by saying great circle, and it's more complete information too. .froth. (talk) 4:22 pm, Today (UTC−7)
 * As you wish. But "size" was not my issue; relevance was. Evensteven (talk) 23:24, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Froth.PNG


The file File:Froth.PNG has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused personal photo"

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 file's talk page.
