Edits to San Ramon, CA
I suggest you add reasons for removing content from pages on the Talk page or edit summary. Otherwise, there is no way to know if a change is a good faith edit or vandalism. Antonrojo 02:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD de_chateau
Just wanted to let you know that one of our CS maps is up for deletion. I'm not sure why they're picking on this one, but here's the link Articles_for_deletion/De_chateau David Bergan 16:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Another AfD on the CS Maps
Thanks for your input on the last one, this is getting sickening, but the vote is against us right now. Articles_for_deletion/Counter-Strike_maps David Bergan 21:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Logitech
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Logitech. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! -- moe .RON   talk  23:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with adding your comment, just make sure to use a verifiable source or else it may be construed as original research (which is the reason VandalProof picked it up). If you don't know how to already, see Cite Sources for tips on how to do this. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! -- moe .RON   talk  00:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

StarCraft
Both you and User:Judgesurreal777 (talk • contribs) are close to violating WP:3RR at StarCraft, yet neither of you have spoken to the other about the conflict or said anything on the talk page. You will be blocked if you violate 3RR. Talk it out. &mdash; Scm83x hook 'em 06:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Yay area
Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Yay area) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Realkyhick 05:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Attacking other users is not tolerated at Wikipedia. Continuing to do so will result in your being blocked. As for your article, it appears to be something that you just made up. If you can add independent, reliable sources that show that "Yay area" is in common usage, I'll stand corrected and remove the speedy delete tag. Keep in mind that another editor may delete the article on his or her own, despite your contesting it. Realkyhick 05:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

California High School
I apologize but your revert on California High School is incorrect. Referencing WP:BIO Athletes are only notable (under wikipedia terms, granted this is a great achievement and I'm not attempting to insult you or him by doing this) under the following circumstances:
 * Athletes:


 * Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming and tennis
 * Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports.

Also there are no citations or references in the article, those citation tags are needed. Please do not remove these again. The sentance regarding the teacher and the class (sorry can't be more specific without going back to the article) was removed because it isn't encyclepedic. Referencing the teachers name falls back on the notability issue. This can probably be summed up but as it stand now it is not written to be on wikipedia. Let me know if you have any questions, if you disagree we can have an admin overview it. Virek 17:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

UT3 Vehicles
You did a good job with the weapons list of UT3. Perhaps you could do something similar with the list of vehicles? -- Lyverbe (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Chris derrick
A tag has been placed on Chris derrick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pastor Theo (talk) 22:37, 3 May 2009 (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 Rake. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rake~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 02:36, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
