I am concerned that you are a WP:Single Purpose Account with 36 edits. Also Sock states:


 * "Not surprisingly, sock puppet accounts usually show much greater familiarity with Wikipedia and its editing process than most newcomers...or participate in procedures like Articles for deletion"

Your third edit was to add this complex template to an article:  In those 36 edits, you have flawlessly added and argued 2 Afds.1 2  Ikip (talk) 09:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have to say that, looking at the 36 edits, I would be unable to guess what the "single purpose" might possibly be! Martinmsgj 09:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Improving Wikipedia, by the looks of things. Would that other editors showed some inclination to do that some time. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:14, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I have added 4 Afds, not 2. 3 of them went quite well. I'm still not sure what I did wrong when I nominated list of cities in Texas but I'm beginning to suspect the reaction and refusal to explain is all because of my low number of edits. Nerfari (talk) 20:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No I don't think so. If I had nominated it for deletion, the result would have been the same. Although I agree it is redundant to categories, it still satisfies the criteria for inclusion here, so there's no way it will be deleted. Martinmsgj 21:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * A speedy keep with no explanation? Maybe. Nerfari (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Micah harbon, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Micah harbon was changed by Nerfari (u) (t) replacing entire content with something else on 2009-02-26T21:10:18+00:00. Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 21:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks ClueBot next time I see a racist attack page I'll know not to replace the entire content with something else. Nerfari (talk) 21:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi - I have undone Cluebot and restored the tag. Cluebot is an anti-vandal system that automatically reverts large deletions. I am a bit surprised that it jumped on such a relatively small one as this. I shouldn't worry about it, because when you have a bit more of an editing record you will automatically get onto a White List of people it trusts. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:16, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Addition - you did absolutely the right thing to blank out an attack page. I tend to add the word "blanked" to show the attacker what's happened if he looks, but that's according to taste. One tip which saves a few keystrokes: works just as well. The next thing to do (which you probably would have done but for Cluebot) is to copy the warning notice from the template displayed on the page to the author's talk page. It's depressing how many attack pages there are, and it's a good and useful thing to zap them fast. Happy hunting! JohnCD (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to the page Monkey jacket constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you.

I bet this is another one of those things that only happen because I have a low edit count. Someone tell me how many I need before you stop treating me like a 6-year old. Nerfari (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I really don't think it has anything to do with your edit count, but who knows? You might ask why he did it. You can delete anything on your talk page (but you might want to, at least in the future, archive, see WP:ARCHIVE. Welcome to Wikipedia, don't get too worried about what happens the first few times you edit. dougweller (talk) 21:53, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I knew it, it WAS a bot or something. Huggle. Nerfari (talk) 22:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, Huggle isn't actually a bot, it's an automated tool which makes it easy to do things fast, but also rather easy to press the wrong button, which I guess is what happened here. I think your edit was thoroughly constructive, and I have asked Jackol why he reverted it and warned you. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added you to the whitelist so your edits shouldn't be appearing to Hugglers like myself anymore. treelo  radda  23:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

User:C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition
Instead of hassling me, why don't you go take a look at what happened to User:C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition. OK they created a promotional article and I tagged it for deletion but they also said they were willing to adjust the article. I thought perhaps I could help because there do seem to be some reliable sources about it, but when I get back I find that they've been indefinitely blocked for "spam", which seems pretty fricken' brutal if you ask me. Nerfari (talk) 21:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Nerfari for your comments. Ikip (talk) 13:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I've just added the rollback ability to your account. Hope you find it useful, but please read Rollback feature before using. If for some reason you do not want it, just let me know. Cheers, &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks it seems to work. I'll try to put it to good use. Nerfari (talk) 17:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of country songs
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of country songs. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of country songs (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

List of words having different meanings in Spain and Latin America
The article List of words having different meanings in Spain and Latin America has been submitted to the Articles for deletion process.

As you were involved in the previous deletion discussion for this article, I thought I would inform you of the new discussion;


 * Articles for deletion/List of words having different meanings in Spain and Latin America (2nd nomination)
