User talk:Ovaltine

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

'Third' World Feminism
Thanks so much for putting in that line on the main page for Third-world feminism. freedom Annawright 17:01, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Category:Canadian music
Hi...could you please not file artists directly in Category:Canadian music if they're already in a subcategory such as Category:Canadian singer-songwriters, Category:Canadian rappers, Category:Music venues in Canada or Category:Leonard Cohen? Wikipedia has rules about this. Thanks. Bearcat 08:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Categories
The rule on Wikipedia is that an article cannot be filed in a category and a subcategory of the first category at the same time. Thus, an article cannot be filed simultaneously in both Category:South Asian Canadians and Category:Sri Lankan Canadians; similarly, an article cannot be filed simultaneously in both Category:Sri Lankan Canadians and Category:Sri Lankan Diaspora. Even if the categories "have different implications", if one's a subcategory of the other, an article still cannot be filed in both at the same time. Bearcat 22:27, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Unblock
Innocent! '''My IP address has been tagged for vandalism, and its a bit worrying as it has nothing to do with me. This IP address is registered to a proxy server and is shared by multiple users. ''' Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts should be made to contact Shaw Communications, Inc. (proxy server) to report abuse. Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using my particular machine

Its a bit of an inconvinence, but the block seems temporary so I suppose I'll grin and bare it for now. Hope this doesn't continue.

''Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by RexNL for the following reason (see our blocking policy): "vandalism"''


 * OK, please note however we cannot see your IP address so if you need to request an unblock you need to give is the details of the block message, without them we cannot see the source of the block and cannot unblock. --pgk( talk ) 20:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
Another editor has added the  template to the article Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sasha Perera


A tag has been placed on Sasha Perera requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Epeefleche (talk) 06:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
