Cultural references and trivia
Hello. You have added some new "cultural references" to several articles, but you have not added references. Please add references as soon as possible, or we will be required to remove this information. Please see WP:RS and WP:TRIVIA. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: One If by Clam, Two If by Sea
Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 21:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Ledge raids article
Hi, saw your fix of the dollar signs etc on BC Legislature Raids. It doesn't seem you're in BC but I thought I should apprise you of the publication ban that has been placed on this case; it won't affect edits made by contributors outside Canada, and I'm uncertain if it affects editors (such as myself) who are geographically outside BC (but within Canada). The court case is finally about to start, but reporting on it is going to get very tricky; in recent weeks I've been pondering expanding the article considerably, which is long overdue, but now I'm uncertain whether I'm legally allowed to. Known evidence, defence pleadings, reasons for judgement etc which were not heard in the presence of the jury are technically now covered by the publication ban (even though they're already out there online somewhere, primarily in that blog or in http://www.bctrialofbasi-virk.blogspot.com); the SCBC has itself pulled down its own records of decisions already made in the case; the story is not just about what's known, it's about what's speculated, and the extent of what is either believed, or has been shown, in blogspace.....technically even my communicating to you is a form of "publication", and I'm uncertain if a US editor attending hearings in the courtroom could drive back across the line to make report from a US IP address.....it's a very dicey situation, very worrisome.....I realize you were just doing a stylefix, but thought I'd better apprise you of the difficulties posed by any further expansion of the article (which should probably have the current-case template put back on it, even though nobody - in Canada - is legally allowed to edit it further..."until further order of the Court".....Skookum1 (talk) 01:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Graham Chapman, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Take part in a survey
Hi Kalmbach

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Click here to access the survey: http://ucla.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bI9nxWdVDoNZZKR

Thanks
