Your recent contribution(s) to are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --KeithB 17:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I mistook your edits for vandalism. I obviously jumped the gun.  My sincere apologies.  --KeithB 18:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Peter. I live in Ohio in the U.S., in the Cleveland area.  I am employed as an engineer.


 * I have been active as an editor on Wikipedia for a short while, mainly fighting vandalism of late. It is pretty much continuous, from what I can tell, ranging anywhere from innocent experimentation, to more devious inserting of misinformation.  The latter gives me concern for the long term viability of the Wikipedia project.  I seems that ultimately they will have to require registration for editing.  I would think this would help.  --KeithB 18:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:NormanCloseUp150.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:NormanCloseUp150.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 19:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Civility please
Your recent edit summaries have been most uncivil. The other editors disputing your addition are not vandalizing - nor are they amateurs or senile. Such comments in edit summaries or talk pages are in violation of WP:CIVIL. Please read that policy page and discuss your concerns on the talk page - also be aware of WP:3RR.

What warrants your incivility towards Zaheen? Here are your Roger Federer edit summaries I am talking about: (1) "If you make ONE more contradictory edit on this article and delete somebody else's for no good reason (records are also stated in intro), I will have you banned." (2) "Let me remind you zaheen, and everybody else who edits articles, that no wikipedia article belongs to anybody. This article does not belong to you. Stop deleting other people's edits for no reason." (3) "Zaheen, go back to bangladesh and clean up your dirty city. Stop editing the article you illiterate buffoon. This date should be mentioned at top. Now go away." Tennis expert 22:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, the rationale behind my edit was to get rid of information that is already covered in detail somewhere inside the article. In my opinion, this article is already very huge and suffers from bloated content. Think of the intro as kind of a highlight, a brief overview of the entire Federer entry. Would you mention something as specific as Jimmy Connors and the date of Federer breaking his record in there? Most probably not. People can easily find those details inside the article. I know you added that information to the intro, but please rest assured that my edit was not to impose my "ownership" of the article, as you may have wrongly assumed and are propagating through your comments and to other people's talk pages. And as some other people have already mentioned, some of your remarks has racist overtones and very uncivil in general. Is that really necessary? --Zaheen 00:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Overlord, in response to your comment on my talk page, Zaheen has edited the Roger Federer article on 8 days during the last 2 1/2 years. That's hardly "ownership" of the article. I think you should honor Wikipedia policy, which means assuming good faith and being civil towards him. Tennis expert 06:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Overlord, your incivility has been reported to WP:AN.. Tennis expert 05:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Civility, phase two
You write the following on "Tennis expert's" talk page: Tennis Expert...You reporting me is insignificant as you have been banned several times. Nobody will take you seriously, with your lack of english ability and poor social skills. I suggest you go back to the sand pit and play with your barbie dolls, you little peasant of the East. I suggest this individual be banned permanently from Wikipedia, as he has threatened me with emails and implied that my life is on the line. I have proof of this. Please leave me alone, as I am a busy man. --Emperor 08:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC) See here

I don't think hat is the right way of dealing with a report on incivility. In my opinion your reaction is rather uncivil. So think about apologizing. It will not harm you. On the contrary! Cheers, --HJ 10:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Records held by Roger Federer
Please be civil in your edit summaries; do not use them to threaten other editors over grammar or spelling mistakes, which are not considered vandalism. Please read up on Wikipedia's policy on vandalism if you are not familiar with it.  on camera (t)  13:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Kind suggestions
If you feel yourself getting overheated, please take a short break. Go ahead and enjoy your day. Grab a frosty beverage of your choice and relax. Go ahead and edit something else for a while. WP:BACKLOG has plenty of alternative articles to edit with other editors involved. I'd also recommend checking out WP:LOVE, WP:NAM and WP:COOL. They all provide excellant advice and remind us of the kind of attitude we should have in editing Wikipedia. I hope this finds you well. Take care!! Vassyana 14:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Overlord. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Overlord~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:59, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
