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 ForteTuba, 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 05:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you paying attention to your bot?
I really don't like being accused of vandalism when it was nothing of the sort. Maybe it's my fault for forgetting to log in, but that shouldn't matter. I'm going to add the info back in.

Yea, we need to slow down on the reverts..
A revert is good but in allot of cases not necessary

ALSO... big point.. change your signature back.. that thing hurts my EYES!! 01:40, February 27, 2008 99.247.232.99 (talk)

Please tone down your bot
You are reverting way too many articles. Some of them are vandalized but most of them are valid contributions. Please check twice before reverting something. And Do not revert if you have no idea. thanks Anonkawai (talk) 23:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dvd video logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dvd video logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello J.delanoy, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 18:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! I noticed your name show up on a page I have on my watchlist, saw you did a lot of reverting in your contributions, reviewed some of your reverts, and after being pleased with your correct vandalism-reversions, I decided that rollback would benefit you. :) Good luck. Acalamari 19:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

not constructive?
how was it not constructive? All I day was change it to the same format every most other wikipedia pages about cities use, not only that, the word caucasian lnked to European Ameican, not all Whites are of European descent. My brother-in-law is White, and he happens to be Egyptian. I did what was correct, what was proper, I did not do anything that was destructive. I'm not sure why I am being hounded for making a correction. 67.173.195.17 (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC) well, I'm going to be honest with you, I am going to change it back, and, while I'm at it, look for some more sources for it. I just don't like it when people attack me when I'm correct, if you thought I was improper, you have every right to do so, but, Europeans are not the only White people, and that's what I was getting at. Also, the term Caucasian is not usually used in official documentations for alot of things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 19:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC) It's alright;everyone has a different opinion about something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 03:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
For Salamis' place, you do not need to go to the island. Open Google Earth, and see that in Salamis Northern Cyprus flag is waving. I am giving the correct info. If you take Rep of Cyprus Visa and tries to visit You cannot see Salamis. Because, Salamis resides in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and You need to take Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus visa. If you prevent people in the world from correct information, then many negative things may occur as I examplified 88.252.64.238 (talk) 20:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I did cite Wikipedia's Kermit Schaefer page. The purpose of my posting was to point out that the unsourced urban legend posted by 68.158.64.90 was unsubstantiated.

I am sorry you were offended that I deleted a bit of badly spelled trash that was located on the page entitled "Watermelon".

Your revert on Prayer
Why did you make this change? If you will do a case-sensitive search throughout this article, you will find that every time the word "God" is used, it refers to a certain deity specific to the religion in subject. If the word refers to "a god," as in this case, it should be lowercase. I'm leaving it alone for the time being, but if you have no objections, it should be changed back to "god."

Dear Sir
The part which I meant to delete, and in fact did delete was a blue box at the top of the page containing words that said something along the lines of " It is said by manny scientist that a watermelon is a veggi but thier is still alot of debat." You can see in the edit history of the article that the blue box was in fact once there. Please do not contact me again.

Winston Churchill in politics: 1900-1939
I would appreciate your comments on the first two sections as they are now. Are they too long, are they unclear?

Eli Manning
Hey! Thanks for helping edit the Eli article. I've been working on his article off and on for the last 3 months and added most of the references and photos. I saw you added the peer review request. A lot of the links I added are either dead or not properly formatted (I mean they're not using the format. Could you help me fix those up? I can't do it from my current location (I only get educational sites), but it's something I've been meaning to do from home. I'd like to see this article get FA soon. Thanks! -- E n d l es s D a n  19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Single issue IP editor to liquid breathing
I have the feeling 71.224.14.76 actually is T. H. Shaffer, a founder in the field of liquid ventilation. An honor, so let's cut him some slack till he learns to cite. That doesn't mean I think he should be reversion-proof, but he's certainly no vandal, and should not be treated like one. If ever there was a case of WP:BITE, this is it. So let's not embarrass ourselves. S B Harris 02:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Lynchburg Edits
Hi J. Delanoy. Myuser name is nhakimi I am new to wikipedia editing and had no intention of vandalizing. Furthermore I know no other way of contacting you than writing here as I am right now. Please understand that my intentions are only good, and that I sincerely wish to discuss with you further how you suggest I make contributions to pages such as that for Lynchburg without vandalizing. Thank you and apologies for offending.

Well sir I accept your apology and as a matter of fact am immensely relieved that I was actually ok. The last thing I wanted to do starting out was incur the wrath of a (well-respected and highly experienced, I gather) administrator such as yourself. You certainly haven't scared me away from wikipedia. I'm a little traumatized, but I'll survive and I'll stick around :)

You know, the best way you can make it up to me is be available for help when I need someone to help me learn my way around!

Let's start with this question: when I have referenced a source, and I want to refer to the same source later, how do I make a tag that will refer to the source I've already used? Ex: it simply made a repeat of the old reference.

I appreciate your help and your graciousness... no worries about the mistake.


 * Hi Nhakimi. I bumped into your question here (don't ask me how....) and tried to answer it on your talk page. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Barnstar
Thanks for the barnstar. Huggle is really fast. ;)   jj137   (talk)  00:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Was it that fast? ClueBot usually gets vandalism in about four or five seconds.   jj137   (talk)  00:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems Huggle loads diffs no matter what they look like, so they are all treated "the same". What I've found patrolling Recent changes is that if you take any diff from an IP (not just the bolded red ones, lots of people go after those), you are able to find more vandalism and revert it. I sometimes will look for anything from +5 to +50, because a lot of those are vandals adding "comments" to the articles.   jj137   (talk)  02:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really. If you want to give Huggle a try, I can forward the email to you.   jj137   (talk)  02:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: A Few Questions

 * 1) Question I tried to get the statusbot thing to work on my user page, but I can't figure out why it won't say I'm anything but "somewhere". Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
 * Answer Many people are confused by that to. Some people, do think that Status Bot is malfunctioning. However, you can use my Status item on my userpage. I can put this in your talk page if you would like.


 * 1) Question I tried to look at the source code of your userpage to try to fix the problem outlined in question 1, but I have to admit your anti-vandal strategy has me stumped. How on earth did you do that? (If you don't mind telling me... If you want, you can email me if you don't want the info to be available in my talk page history, which seems wise.).
 * Answer I'll make this work on your userpage, and I'll email you instructions on how to edit it.


 * 1) QuestionI have noticed you have the "admin hopeful" userbox on your page. I looked at your last 5000 contributions (well, your edit summarys for them...), and I think you would be an excellent administrator. Would you like me to nominate you?
 * Answer I appreciate I really appreciate I really really appreciate the offer. However, Jj137 already has plans to nominate me on the Ides of March (March 15th). But I would really appreciate a co-nomination from you. Please feel free to ask any other questions. -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  23:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I think WBOSITG is planning to co-nom as well, so I guess there will three nominators. :)   jj137   (talk)  00:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sixpence
I notice you have just reverted my recent edit to sixpence, and sent me a message saying it consititued "vandalism". I am totally baffled by your actions. My change made a few improvements to the flow and grammar, added a subheading, added a couple of links, converted a reference to the preferred style, and so on. The information content is unchanged. Since someone else also reverted the edit previously (which I assumed was just finger-trouble), I'm wondering if something has gone wrong that I'm not seeing that makes it appear as if I have trashed the page or something. What's going on? Thanks, Matt 20:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC).

Please don't take this to heart—you're clearly a productive editor, but simply one who is not yet ready for adminship. Might I advise reading WP:GRFA? It has some excellent advice, and I point you to it with some urgency: it really will work wonders if you plan to run again in the future.

RfA is a difficult and heated process, and there have been countless candidates who have failed their first (and even several) RfA(s), to go on to become experienced administrators (and, in some cases, to serve the community as an arbitrator!) Don't be too down-hearted, and happy editing!

Reverting Assyrian People
Hi, I'm new here, and am disappointed you reverted an edit I made and called it 'vandalism. I just want to know how it is any form of Vandalism. Thanks.

Thanks
Thank you very much for the barnstar! I don't think I could have done it without huggle. To be honest, the main reason I started using it is that I was getting annoyed by how frequently you were beating me to the punch! I'll be logging off in a few mins, should leave you some time to make lots of reverts... I was just waiting earlier for DerHexer to log off - he was getting all my reverts! Anywhoo - Keep up the good work :) Tiddly  -  Tom  19:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Magic Kingdom
I just thought I'd say that I completely disagree with the page protection that was just issued to the page that you've been reverting. Saying "near" or "southwest of" seems to be more of a content dispute between you and the IP than vandalism. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know you aren't an admin; I was simply informing you of my opinion on the matter. Its simple, this is a content dispute, not vandalism.  Don't revert it as vandalism (and it is possible to leave a custom edit summary with huggle by using the Y key), in fact, don't revert it at all.  Discuss things with the user and don't edit war. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Given that you are involved in a content dispute at Magic Kingdom and you have already broken the three revert rule, if you revert the page again, you will be blocked.  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  20:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Lord Voldemort
Sorry, I suppose my edits about Brits being superior and calling that guy a fool weren't very helpful but I must say my other one was quite good if I do say so myself. Feel free to bask in my glow, who knows, you might get a tan! —Preceding comment was added at 20:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

False Warnings
False Warnings on my talk page will get you banned.(Gordon24fan (talk) 00:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)) I must have done that when i tried to get some projects on my talk page. My apologies.(Gordon24fan (talk) 00:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC))

Patrolling pages and tagging with CSD
Hi there, thanks for your contributions. In case you didn't know, there is a feature called patrolled pages. After you tag an article for speedy deletion, you should mark it as patrolled so other editors don't waste their time re-reviewing it. Thanks Ejay (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Ladivalatina unblocked
I had to unblock User talk:Ladivalatina as per her request. The violation she was blocked for was persistent spamming, but your warnings were about vandalism, There is a difference. I will keep and eye on her and I assume you have her watchlisted too. Even though the block for spamming was warranted, the warnings were incorrect so I had to unblock. Please try to be careful about using the proper warning templates. Thanks and happy wiking. -- Alexf42 10:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Post on my page
Forgive me oh self righteous one, I edited your page before realising that I was in fact editing the wrong one. I then left a post on your talk page which you are now reading. Fifth post up. Found it? Good. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 15:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. Actually I thought I had. Clearly I hadn't. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 18:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Accident
Not a problem. I'm dealing with a vandal who has been blocked on numerous occassions for edit warring. Uconnstud (talk) 18:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You are the vandal UConnStud. This is absurd. How many people are you going to petition to block me before your realize that what your doing to the article is absurd and childish. I do not understand this user insists on contiously vandalizing the article and reverting to poorly formated versions that lack significant edits. Please help. Please stop him. - --TiconderogaCCB (talk) 18:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I would love a third party review if you are willing. This is my version: And this is his:. An objective opinnion would be very welcomed. - --TiconderogaCCB (talk) 18:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Second'd. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 19:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the third party review, however, you did not provide any feedback regarding UConnStudd's version of the article. Or give an opinion on listing scandals, rankings etc, before vital information like campuses and programs. - --TiconderogaCCB (talk) 20:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I think some of his opinions can be included in the article Uconnstud (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * An editor using 150.210.176.81 IP address posted the following extremely offensive comments on my talk page and user page . These comments included, "you are one poor sarcastic sucker! have you ever gotten laid or have you always paid for it you sonnuva bitch!". This IP is part of Baruch College, the same source for IP's used by User:Uconnstud in past comments in which he did not use his user name, see User talk:150.210.176.218 & User talk:150.210.226.6. - --TiconderogaCCB (talk) 02:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

That is pretty funny considering that the only thing that any of those IP address and I have in common is that we've edited on the St. John's page. You do know that Baruch College has about 15,000 students. St John's has about 15,000 too. I've always used my username. You on the other hand.. are famous for not using it. Its funny how we now see random IP address who are suddenly coming out of nowhere and agreeing with you. When they have no history of editing at all and. All supporting "option 1."

Spam tags
I saw that you were placing vandalism tags on User talk:Mpalmer22. However the user was not engaged in vandalism. He was spamming external links, and we have a special tag for that:. It also has "degrees" 1 through 5, and should be used in these cases. Cheers, ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 21:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you...
