2010–2011 Pro-democracy protests
Hi, please do not copy the contents of the above article to other titles. This causes instability, and nothing will be agreed on this way. Instead, please discuss the article name at Talk:2010–2011 Pro-democracy protests. Thank you. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Dabomb87 - clearly you are confused. I made clear in my edit summary that I wasn't taking any side as to the title, but that I was making a necessary change so the article would be readable.  When I found it it was a redirect loop - with each title redirecting to the other and the content not viewable at all. -Helvetica (talk) 05:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Female Genital Cutting
Hello. You altered within the Wikipedia Article of Female Genital Cutting every word and shortcut from Mutilation to Cutting. May i ask why you totaly disagree with the word mutilation? Please do not use the argumentation that "Cutting" is a more neutral word than "mutilation". If someone kills your younger cousin, i doubt that you would use a word like "capital crime", because it is more neutral to describe this. Next time you wish to make major edits, please start a discussion talk on the appropriate talk page first. Thank you. I reverted your edits. --Santiago84 (talk) 15:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I do personally feel that genital cutting is mutilation, but that's my opinion. The article is at the NPOV title "female genital cutting," so it should use it as such.  It can report that some people call it "mutilation," but it shouldn't assert such an opinion.  If you think the term "female genital mutilation" should be used in the article then propose for it to be moved to the title.  Until there's concensus for that we should stick with "female genital cutting" in the article.  Incididently "capital crime" means the perpetrator could be executed, so if I were out for revenge I wouldn't mind that name ;-) -Helvetica (talk) 09:00, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Tagging and reverting
Stop edit warring over a tag. Consensus has not been reached yet and your reverts are only polarizing other editors. Tags mean something needs to be loked at. So let the process run its course. Cptnono (talk) 22:07, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The tag was there for political reasons because the user thought that it cast Beck in a bad light. No good reason was given for why the tag was needed.  Tags may be removed if no good reason is given for keeping them in place. -Helvetica (talk) 19:23, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A) Don;t comment on the contributor instead of the edit since it falls under WP:NPA. B)Your new discussion section was flat out wrong. Look two sections up. Read the whole thing then reply. C) (completely unrelated) I am noming one of your images for deletion. I will shoot you the link to the discussion when I am done.Cptnono (talk) 04:40, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And notification that you are mentioned hereCptnono (talk) 04:57, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Feel free to disregard the above. Andy attempted to fix it and it is almost close enough.Cptnono (talk) 05:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And you don't need a lecture from me about edit warring or NPOV but I do feel it is appropriate to list an image you uploaded at Possibly unfree files/2011 July 28. Apologies for the drama. If you can address the issues provided I will be happy to rescind my request as I did for the Beck article. Cptnono (talk) 06:14, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Phaseolus vulgaris
A year back you made a proposal re Phaseolus vulgaris (the "common" bean). A new related proposal has been put forward, but I think someone may be confused about what was proposed then, and perhaps you would want to illuminate at Talk:Phaseolus_vulgaris? ENeville (talk) 17:41, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

1RR restriction
Please note that Syrian war related pages are under 1RR restriction. That was a violation. Please self-revert. My very best wishes (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Important
Go on the Wikipedia talk page on Brittany Pettibone right now. It seems like Wikipedia editors trusted the sources, which turned out to be incorrect. She's now threatening a legal lawsuit.

 * (Patrolling admin) Normally I would remove the above message due to ban evasion, but since you appear to have been (separately) involved in the article, I'm leaving it to make you aware of the concern. —C.Fred (talk) 03:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
