Stephen Tweedie
A template has been added to the article Stephen Tweedie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. mms 16:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Phillips Code
You were the writer of a statement that Phillips Code was the origination of the terms POTUS and SCOTUS, but you don't cite a source for that statement. For reasons I have given on that article's talk page, I find that to be a dubious claim. If you can provide a supporting cite that it was the origin and not merely the user of those acronyms, it would be appreciated. Carolina wren (talk) 20:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Killing in the Name
Sorry to revert what was clearly a good faith edit but I still try to pretend Wikipedia is might be as good as an encyclopedia so I write as if I'm explaining to someone who might not ever have heard of Facebook (and in a year or two it might be as irrelevant as MySpace, hopefully) and an older relative might be aware that "Killing in the Name" got to number one and wonder how or why that happened, so I do try to write with very few assumptions. Thank you for you patience and I hope you understand that yes the wording I chose might be tedious and a little pedantic but it should make sense to your gran' just as you might be confused if no one bothered to explain that a Model T Ford was a motor car (that's in the guidelines somewhere as an example of explaining what might seem obvious to most). Thanks, though. Good to have someone keeping the wording on the article up to a good quality and making sure I'm not making any silly assumptions. -- Horkana (talk) 00:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wainwright Prize, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael McCarthy. 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.
