A couple of tips
Hello there, here's a few tips for editing. With headings (and article titles, and words in general), we don't normally use capitals unless there is some special reason to. We also only use boldface for the article's subject (though there are exceptions). Richard001 (talk) 10:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * A reminder, regarding mutualism, that we don't use capitals in section headings unless needed. Richard001 (talk) 05:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage
Not sure if you knew this, but it isn't necessary to write about yourself in the 3rd person on your userpage. Unless you like it that way! Anyhow, I replied to your query about video game userboxen. xenocidic (talk) 04:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Gamepad article
Are you done with your revisions? Your last edit was seven days ago so I'm going to pull the revamp tag off unless you're still using it. Lemme know, thank you. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 18:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Xbox Live userbox
I tried to fix your Xbox Live userbox, But your gamertag seems to be entered wrong. If you want to let me know the proper typing of it, I can try again. xenocidic (talk) 17:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC) That's very odd. I could've sworn that's exactly my Xbox gamertag... I'll check back about that... Rustyfence (talk) 17:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

2013 Global surveillance disclosure
Hi, I've reversed your changes to the section headers because they imply that the first disclosures were in 2013. The article tells about other disclosures that began in 1972. Thanks for bringing up the scope of the article for discussion; I've replied to your proposal. &mdash; rybec   11:45, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Virus Locker


The article Virus Locker has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable software stub (WP:NSOFT)."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Government Blockchain Association


A tag has been placed on Government Blockchain Association, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
