I've often used the library computer as well as our own PC to edit articles at wikipedia, maybe someone else has used the library computer and Wikipedia thought it was me--Robert Treat (talk) 18:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC).

Your block is a checkuser block; if you really wish to contest it, I suggest that you e-mail the blocking admin, Versageek. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 18:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I was only suggesting the talk page be listed--Robert Treat (talk) 01:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC).
 * I think the general thought is that article histories should be preserved, and that's why that talk page should not be deleted. I'm an admin, but I'm not clear on this one. If you wish to query somebody who almost certainly knows, consider talking to User:Kirill Lokshin. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * This isn't how to list an article for deletion. Deletion sorting is for categorising existing debates. See Deletion process. Besides, there is no need to delete the talk page of a redirect. Fences  &amp;  Windows  23:00, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Anti-neutrino
Wintonian is not a bot, and he just didn't spot the "merging" tag. He was right to revert I think. There is no reason that antineutrino needed to be a bad page, could have done the merge, duplicating the info for a few minutes, and then replaced antineutrino with a redirect. Either way no big deal. Rich Farmbrough, 20:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC).

Thanks for your message. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Your line of thought is interesting, but varicella zoster virus is not the same as herpes simplex virus. I'm not aware of any data on VZV, which is neurotropic like other herpesviruses. Case reports are very poor sources of reliable medical information - this case may have been an exception to the rule. We cannot invent lines of evidence that do not in fact exist (see no original research). Let me know if you find out anything else about a possible association.

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 19:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ranks of the German Bundeswehr, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matrose. 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.

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=3dz0m2ubQw1KSnb_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_8k2PMdxMWSSy7Xv&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 19:54, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
