Move Request
For future reference, when making a move request (as you did on Pearl and Hermes Reef), the request should not actually be put on the article page. Not a problem though that you did it incorrectly; it's easily fixable and has been fixed. I also voted on your move request in Talk:Pearl and Hermes Reef. joturner 05:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Schooley's Mountain
Properly speaking, we should really have two articles: one at Schooley's Mountain discussing the mountain ridge from Hampton to Stanhope, and one at Schooley's Mountain, New Jersey discussing the town on the ridge. Do you think you could subdivide the current information between the two articles? If you can do that, I'll fill in the templates, disambiguation links, and so forth appropriate for the two articles.

 * Well, the reason edit histories need to be preserved is so that all content can be identified with an author, for GFDL purposes. Since all content on both pages is clearly identified with your authorship, I don't think it's worth involving an admin. Choess 23:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Shawangunk categorization
Hi Sean. I reverted your addition of Category:Mountain ranges of the United States to that article. Category:Mountain ranges of New York is already included as a subcategory to that one, and it's generally Wikipedia policy to not have an article in both a category and its own subcategory.

I know you meant well. Glad to have you here and looking forward to what you can do. Daniel Case 05:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandals
WP:AIV may also be useful to know about. Read the guidelines at the top; there are several different places for reporting abuse, depending on the situation. Choess 04:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Collateral damage
Based on User:151.198.226.100's claim that you are collateral damage to the blocking of that IP, the unblock request was granted. Please review the situation and, if the claim was a fraudulent one, let me know as soon as possible so that the block can be reimposed. Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries
I noticed you made an edit to Administrator intervention against vandalism with no edit summary. Many people have this page on their watchlists, so edit summaries are all they see when it comes up. This makes such summaries even more important the usual. Please use them in the future. Thanks for your work on Wikipedia in any case. JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:16, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
I appreciate the plenary indulgence. If you need to know some trivia about iron mines or railroads in New Jersey, always feel free to drop me a line. Choess 21:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

French Frigate Shoals
I was interested in your edits to this page regarding Whale Skate Island. It might interest you to know that the island was once two islands (Whale and Skate respectively) and the island puts in periodic appearances and dissaperences (much like Dissapearing, in fact). Earlier this year enough of it was popping out for turtles to haul out on, but it's gone again at the moment. Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:VolcanoCricket.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:VolcanoCricket.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 23:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I have seen some others…
Yeah, I've been editing since late 2004. I think that my edit count is about 2,500-3,000. From what I know, Ricky Zacharias has a Wikipedia account and so does Ajay Tungare (senior, Quizbowl captain). Wait, how did you find me anyway? Geoking66 02:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I also have a Wikipedia account and am a student at Pingry. Mrzubrow Matthew R. Zubrow 04:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I assert to be the same user as commons:User:SeanMD80

Thanks for your polite comments. I have responded on the template talk page. Kindly, Lmbstl 15:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Zubrow
I've commented. I found it on Max Horlbeck's facebook so I knew about the problem. I might talk to Matt about it, because what he (and/or his dad) is doing is wrong and unprofession in any sense. Geoking66 23:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I, Matthew Zubrow, would like to apologize to the entire Wikipedia Community on behalf of my actions in resubmitting the article on my father. It was wrong of me to do so and I can assure you that this will not happen again.

Although I cannot submit an article on Barry L. Zubrow, I have made a request that someone else create it because he is well-known and is a worthy candidate for a Wikipedia article. Mrzubrow 1:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Sean, I appreciate it. I was wondering if maybe you wanna come over later this week. I've now moved into my new house, so call me back at my new number; I will e-mail it to you.

I can't find the article request I put in a couple day ago at Requested articles/Other categorization schemes. Do you think someone deleted it?

Does DMG413 have a right to delete my article request? I don't think that's very fair. Mrzubrow 23:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm determined and I don't give up easily. Once I have my mind set on something, I do my best to complete it. I know I can't write the article myself, but I don't see anything wrong w/ recommending that someone else does.

But I do agree with you, there isn't much left for me to do. I should focus on other articles: I just hope it wasn't me that made it look like an advertisement... though I think it was partly my fault. Maybe writing for Wikipedia just isn't what I'm cut out to do in life. Mrzubrow 03:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Article Request
Sean, even if User:DMg413 thinks the request is stupid (which it's not), that still does not give him the right to take such a malicious course of action. Deleting a post that does not violate any statute established by Wikipedia is considered vandalism. Because he is not an administrator, he does not have the authority to take such arbitrary actions against my simple request.

Furthermore, I fail to comprehend why its such a "stupid" and unfair request to create an article on this person. I understand your comment on this request that pointed out that there was a deleted artcle on that topic. However, the main reason why the article on my father was deleted in the first place was due to a conflict of interest. However, because I will not be writing the article, this argument is rendered irrelevent. Finlly, during the deletion process, the administrater claimed that my father does not have enough notoriety to warrant an article. Though this article was proved false not only by myself (citing numerous, credible sources with info on him) but the popular opinion of the Wikipedia community. Many users acknowledged that my father deserves an article because he holds considerable notability.

Therefore, I think it is fair for me to request that an article be produced on Barry L. Zubrow and wrong of User:DMG413 to delete this recourse. Considering the previously stated evidence, if it pleases the court, I rest my case. Thank you. Mrzubrow 04:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions and advice in this. It is really a very tedious process. Mrzubrow 16:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Helpful Tips
Your comments aren't annoying; they are actually quite helpful because I am still a relatively new member on Wikipedia. I am always interested in whatever useful comments you may have.

Hi - I was the one who removed the "Themes" section from the Song of Solomon (novel) entry. The reason I did so (as I attempted to post on the article talk page) was because the material was lifted almost verbatim from SparkNotes.com, as you can see at http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/solomon/themes.html. Apologies for the clumsiness or for not following proper procedure (I'm pretty new to this), but it's clear plagiarism.Dartmjb 01:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! Next time I'll definitely note something in the edit summary. Dartmjb 12:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

ugly images
Hi, I noticed you commenting on a few article pages where User:Acom has contributed images. I was wondering if you might like to examine all his image contributions as about half are similar in nature to that presented in Polar-ring galaxy. 132.205.44.134 23:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Finale screenshot
In regards to Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png: yes, the copyright is held by MakeMusic, the company that makes Finale, and you probably also thought about crediting Microsoft for the OS elements shown. But did you think about crediting the composer of the music shown? Even if you just threw that together for the sake of illustration, you need to acknowledge that.

Commerce Bank
Hi there! Thanks for your message on my talk page. I have been reverting vandalism by CAMDENBEER (Talk contribs) to the Commerce Bancorp page, mostly his comments about political pawns, etc. When I saw today that he added additional information that I assumed was going to be false (I had not yet seen the news report about Vernon Hill and I am a news freak) I removed the information thinking it was false. I later did a google search and was highly surprised to hear Vernon Hill resigned yesterday. Maybe Action News didn't do a story on it? My mistake, regardless. I have created a section on the Commerce Bank page for some of the information, which is fact. The things I deemed to be non-NPOV I removed. I hope you will review my edit, and let me know if it looks ok to you. PanzaM22 17:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)  PanzaM22 (Talk contribs) Mike

Fair use rationale for Image:Bodies Exhibition.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bodies Exhibition.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NAHID

Thanks for your invitation to get a user name. I have several, but became weary of some dumb comments that were made about my work. I travel around from time to time and so my IP changes. And my ISPs change my IP when it suits them. 121.210.89.55 05:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about that RFA, you can always submit another later. Malinaccier (talk) 22:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I will. Sean MD80 talk 22:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that, dont want to make good editors like yourself leave because their RfA did not pass, listen to the tips you were given in your RfA follow through on them, gain more experience, and come back and try a RfA later. Cheers! Tiptoety  talk 22:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks and thanks
Thank-you for the recognition. Also thanks for keeping a positive attitude after an RFA that didn't launch as you would have wanted it to. As a newbiee admin, I can still recall the feelings I had as I read other-than-positive feedback about me on my RFA. I salute your resolve to gain experience and forge ahead. Please inform me the next time your name is up at RFA, it will not be considered canvassing because I am asking you to tell me.JERRY talk contribs 04:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
