minors names/images
Hi Rgoodermote, coming over from Commons; as of your comment on the "suspect's" userpage, I would like to know whether there is any policy supporting As you are a minor you are not allowed to say your real name or upload images of yourself. or a civil law in the US? (I'm not asking because of doubts, but just to know.) --Túrelio (talk) 08:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I've filed an rfd for the image in question. --Túrelio (talk) 22:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Confey College WiKi article
Hi Robert,

My name is Philip Devereux. I am an teacher at Confey College, Leixlip, Kildare in Ireland. I see that you have recently corrected the vandalised Confey College article - thank you. I have just corrected the previously inaccurate Principal and Deputy Principal's names to their proper standing. ( Principal, Cathal Travers and Deputy Principal, Niall Hare.)

We appreciate your time and effort.

Philip

Oops - I'm sorry
But, Rgoodermote, didn't you !vote to  strongly oppose the proposal? (Because, what had confused me is that I had actually endorsed a change in the article's name to Neda Soltan fatal shooting.) :^) ↜Just  M &thinsp;E here&#8202;,&#8202;now  19:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

This user has kept adding a false claim by India to the Chargos Islands on the List of territorial disputes article and other associtated articles, even after me and other editors keep reverting it as vandalism. Aogouguo (talk) 00:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Need citations to reliable sources
Thank you for your contribution to List of city nicknames in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, a contributor's personal knowledge is not sufficient basis for reporting a "fact" in Wikipedia. Under Wikipedia's policy on verifiability it is necessary to provide citations to published reliable sources. If you know of a source for the North Adams nickname, please add it to the article. --Orlady (talk) 16:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * In response to your comment on my talk page, the above message was personalized (I wrote it myself, just for you!). All I did was restore the "citation needed" template to the article. Next time you remove a valid "citation needed" template such as that one, please add the requested citation. --Orlady (talk) 23:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to hear that you find Wikipedia's policies and guidelines so burdensome. The verification policy is intended to ensure the quality of Wikipedia as a reliable information resource (it being first and foremost an encyclopedia). It would be easier for all of us to contribute content if we didn't have to bother with citing sources, but then Wikipedia could not be trusted as an information source. --Orlady (talk) 04:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Seeing the effort you've put into your comments on my talk page, it's clear that I hit a very raw nerve when I posted the first message in this string. Most of us would have brushed that off long before this.
 * I'm sorry that I offended you by posting a message that came across as a "message to a newbie." Please look again at List of city nicknames in Massachusetts. Note that every entry on the list is separately sourced, except for a few that have CN tags and a couple that we've missed in patrolling the article. This careful attention to sourcing is particularly important in lists such as this one that tend to attract "original research" and other garbage additions -- and that are prone to be criticized as trivia. (See the edit history for List of city nicknames in the United States, particularly around October-November 2007, for some background on the need for citations in this list.) Next, look at this edit of yours and I think you will agree that it does not look like the work of a mature contributor who is well versed in Wikipedia policy. My comment was addressed to that single edit -- I do not have the time to review the entire contribution history of every other contributor I interact with regarding one trivial edit, just as I don't have the time to research every unsourced entry I find on a list such as this one. If you have a source that clearly identifies "Western Gateway" as a nickname for North Adams, please add it to the article. (Note that names of businesses, state parks, etc., are not sufficient citation support -- although that's frustrating.) --Orlady (talk) 13:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's hoping you get past that rough spot in your personal life -- and that there are many bright days ahead! --Orlady (talk) 03:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
