 * Timing doesn't really have anything to do with it and I have no way of knowing what anyone's intentions are. I'll gladly undelete it.  It should be OK by the time yuo get this message. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Never mind; looks like you took care of it. I promise to give you the benefit of the doubt next time.  Please don't hesitate to call on me if you need help.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Franklin, Greenwater
Yes, it shows King County, but it doesn't have a highlight indicating where Franklin is. Greenwater, supposedly highlighted here (judging by the file name), is across the county line in Pierce County: see Commons:File:Pierce County Washington Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Greenwater Highlighted.svg. Franklin is a ghost town (and then some: all that remain as far as I know are dirt mounds where some buildings once were). An accurate locator map might be useful, but this map is a liability. - Jmabel | Talk 05:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback! I did use that map precisely because it didnt have anything highlighted.  The stock maps at wikimedia only highlight incorporated communities, and this map was bland enough to just show King County without highlighting anything.  If there is a better map out there please insert it in the place of the one there now - I'll be grateful (I tried to find one originally and finally settled on one i used).  I'll try to shake some time loose and look for a better map, too.  BTW, i read your article on the brainteaser questions in technical interviews, and laughed out loud!  (i'm a current microsoftie, and have had to put up with such nonsense more times than i care to think about).

Kent, Washington
Thanks for reverting my edit on the Kent, Washington page. I meant to use Twinkle's rollback feature to roll back two IP edits (the first was vandalism, the second was a self-revert of that vandalism), but I just noticed from taking a closer look at the history that the two IP addresses differed by one digit. So, my rollback ended up putting the vandalism back. Frankly, I don't know why I even needed to do it since the vandalism was self-reverted. Very unintentional d'oh! on my part. A look through the page history will show I have made several constructive edits and successful vandalism reverts. KuyaBriBri Talk 14:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, I did take a gander at your page after reverting, and you didnt seem the 'internet miscreant' type. I figured it must have been some kind of snafu.  Nothingofwater (talk) 16:55, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not 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 and thanks. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

adding WP LDS movement templates
An admin and coordinator for WP christianity (the parent wikigroup of WP LDS movement) has requested that all WP LDS movement templates on temple articles be converted into WP christianity templates. If you have a question about this conversion, go to my talk page. LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 18:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

reverts and warnings
I saw this revert- thanks. However, you didn't leave a warning message to the user. Is there a reason why? tedder (talk) 01:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You are right. I simply reverted and moved on.  Mea culpa - I will be more diligent in the future.  Thanks.  Nothingofwater (talk) 00:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem! Drop me a line if you have questions. Cheers, tedder (talk) 01:04, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Revert Mistake
It appears you have made a mistake on an edit i made on the Lorenzen_Wright page. His date of death is in fact 7-19-2010, Not 7-28-2010.
 * The 28th was the original date on the page, and is both in the infobox, and at the top of the page. You edited it in the infobox only, and did not leave any edit summary.  I thought I was reverting random vandalism.  Reading through the article more carefully, it appears that he did die on the 19th, and was only found on the 28th.  If you change it back, please change it both places, and I promise I wont revert.  Thanks! Nothingofwater (talk) 23:46, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Red Boy
I'm on the edge of the WP:3RR, is there anyway you could revert the anon's addition again? I have given them several warnings on their talk page. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 00:09, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this guy seems to be editing a number of pages with the same sort of 'Disney will make a film out of it' speculation. I see these same edits from 90.215.95.79, 94.11.59.187, 90.221.161.71, 94.4.151.186 - all registered to BskyB Broadband in the UK.  Looks like a persistent sock-puppetteer, and may require admin intervention.  Nothingofwater (talk) 19:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I have reported them to Vandalism admins because they just reverted your edit again. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 21:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not a guy, I'm a girl. I was the one who edited these pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.4.156.67 (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 01:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Walla Walla (Purple Octopus affair)
You reverted a historical addition made to the walla walla page. The edits are historical, not news. How best can this be resolved? 71.231.80.153 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:24, 21 October 2010 (UTC).
 * You need to go read the guidelines at the Wikipedia 'Recentism' page. In the larger perspective of the history if Walla Walla, this fits with current events, not the history of the town.  If you feel otherwise, the best way to resolve is to start a discussion on the Walla Walla talk page, and demonstrate how this is not news or current events.

--Kumioko (talk) 02:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Tri-Cities, Washington
I've gone ahead and reverted your edits to the above referenced page. When listing "Notable residents", the term "notable" refers to the guideline by which we determine viable inclusion on Wikipedia. For listing notable residents in location articles, we look for persons that meet the notability criteria, as indicated with a current article. In essence, notable enough to have an article in Wikipedia, verified by significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and significant to the location linked. For more information, see Famous Residents. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 01:25, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Lester Depot
Thanks for the update. Do you have any references to confirm your suspicion? If so, feel free to expand the article or add links to the article's talk page. NRHP sites are not often demolished, so more research is needed here. Thanks again! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:05, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Categorization
Please see Categorization for why the Louis and Ellen Olson House should only be in Category:Buildings and structures in Enumclaw, Washington, not the King County parent category. "Each categorized page should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C." — Brianhe (talk) 18:01, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ken Jennings, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scribner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Cities and counties
I was just going by the template for the two counties showing what cities or parts of cities are in each county. If it is wrong, then someone needs to fix the template. Thanks. Hmains (talk) 03:40, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, the City of Enumclaw owns property in Pierce County, but that land is not incorporated as part of the city. The confusion has surfaced on the Enumclaw page before, hence the discussion on the talk page.  I'll have to figure out how to remove Enumclaw from the Pierce County template.  Thanks!

Alleged brothel keeping activity by Frederick Trump Sr.
As salacious as the thought might be that his grandfather ran a brothel in the town of Montecristo the claim is ahistoric as there is no record or proof of his offering the sexual service of women rather than being non selective regarding to whom he rented rooms. It is incumbent on you to provide such proof before merely alledging that he did. Under the circumstances adding alleged rather than remoiving brothel is mild.RichardBond (talk) 16:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC) RichardBond (talk) 16:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the change you made, as there is no sourced evidence that meets WP guidelines to contradict the current ref. Also - reasoning regarding changes should be posted to the talk page for the article changed. It preserves the context of changes with the article, and allows everyone to participate in the conversation. Thanks! Nothingofwater (talk) 16:00, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Osceola, Washington


The article Osceola, Washington has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable location. Lippincott's says it was just a post office: ; this is the only mention of the place that I could find (other than entries about the Osceola Mud Flow). Unsourced since at least 2009; current coordinates locate to farmland.  Nothing to write about; fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG."

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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
