Re: Dragon Ball Z Vandal
That was a mistake on either my part or VandalProof's. I could have sworn that it said that user had not received any warnings for vandalism and was somewhat perturbed after I saw that they had indeed received several warnings. Don't worry; I usually do not have that much patience with vandals.-- Mbc362 05:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for support in my unsuccessful RfA. I appreciate the support, and am disappointed on being judged by what in most opinions seem to be the wrong things. Until next time, edit on! :) &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 03:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Chrétienite
A template has been added to the article Chrétienite, 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. Kanibalos 16:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Adam Bennett
Thank you for your advice. With the deepest respect, and given that the article which was expanded last month is now clearly wikipedic, in my view the version which I deleted in June still qualifies as NN-bio. There are several vandalised version of the page of earlier dates, which are of no relevance, and which played no part in my decision. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, you are correct. I misread the history. My apologies. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 20:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Substing templates
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When using certain templates on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:uw-test1&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Also, please be aware of the new User Warning Templates at Template messages/User talk namespace. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk&#124;contribs) 20:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Robert Walcot / Isaac Brock
You are correct. Walcot's fraudulent claims aren't really relevant to Brock's story. I might do a quick brief article on Walcot, under the grouping of Walter Mittys / Baron Munchhausens or whatever HLGallon (talk) 06:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Lieutenant Page
Another editor has added the  template to the article Lieutenant Page, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Isaac Brock under FA review
Isaac Brock has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EasyPeasy21 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Scimitar. I've obtained some books that cover Brock's role in the early war of 1812. They include Pierre Berton, The invasion of Canada. I notice that there are no inline cites to Berton at present in this article, and I might be able to help with that. Are you still actively working on more improvements? I don't want to get in your way. I also had a few thoughts for the style of the lead, but I'd review them with you first. EdJohnston (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Scimitar! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 6 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File source problem with File:William Waldegrave.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:William Waldegrave.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 02:15, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tyler Conklin
Hello Scimitar,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tyler Conklin for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
