Tagging of Family Guy Universe
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Family Guy Universe. I do not think that Family Guy Universe fits any of the speedy deletion criteria I request that you consider not re-tagging Family Guy Universe for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. WP:CSD says: "If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, there is enough context that A1 is not appropriate." DES (talk) 16:59, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. I forgot to read WP:CSD, sorry about that! Datbubblegumdoe (talk) 17:18, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It happens, Datbubblegumdoe, particully as you seem to be relativly new to WP:NPP. No problem, but do take a rad through the criteria from time to time, and double check any that you are using. Thanks for contributing. DES (talk) 17:32, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Notice
Hello Datbubblegumdoe. Your account has been [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3A granted] the "rollbacker" and "pending changes reviewer" user rights. These user rights allow you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and quickly revert the edits of other users.


 * Rollback user right
 * Please keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin).


 * Pending changes reviewer user right
 * The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection enabled is located at Special:StablePages. You may find the following pages useful to review:
 * Reviewing, the guideline on reviewing.
 * Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
 * Protection policy, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of reviewer or rollback. If you no longer want either of these user rights, contact me and I'll remove it, alternatively you can leave a request on the administrators' noticeboard. Happy editing!

Help

 * I am being asked a number of pressing questions by User:Widefox and request assistance.Huskers110110 (talk) 02:34, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not that good with dealing with those types of stuff, but what I'll say is reread your articles and take out whatever sounds promotional. For example, on Virginia Tech Richmond Center, "is responsible for carrying out the university's three missions" sounds to me like it sounds too promotional to be in an encyclopedia. Also, maybe you should practice writing in your sandbox or in a draft. ''' Datbubblegumdoe talk  contribs  04:07, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:11, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rvara14/sandbox


A tag has been placed on Rvara14/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 removed 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. Stefan2 (talk) 14:51, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Signature
Hi, I just voted below you in an RFA. I use this syntax highlighter, and because your signature doesn't contain closing bold tags, it caused everything below your signature to be highlighted, making the highlighting useless. The highlighter expects all markup tags and brackets to be closed, and closed in the reverse order they are opened. Could you please add the  marks after the closing span tag in your username link? Thanks. kennethaw88 • talk 14:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

February 2016
Hello Datbubblegumdoe. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Corrections
 * Last week Tech News said the new MediaWiki version would come to wikis from 21 March to 23 March. The right dates were 22 March to 24 March.
