City edits
Whoa friend! hold on a sec. A lot of those links you're making are to redirects, which is not good. Please make links to the actual article titles, especially if you're piping the links anyway. Also, you should discuss the USA thing on WikiProject_Cities or the Manual of Style or somewhere before changing 100,000 articles. Otherwise someone may just mass revert all your edits (as there may not be consensus for implementing the types of changes you are making). Any time you're going to be making lots of similar changes to lots of articles, you'll probably want to bounce it off of some other editors first, just to make sure it's kosher. If it turns out that there is agreement to implement your changes, someone may be able to get a bot to automatically make all the edits for you and save you the hassle. Let me know if you have any questions about anything. Cheers. Kaldari 17:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Minor edits
You are marking all of your edits minor, even when they are not. Please see Minor edit. Your preferences may be set to mark all edits minor by default. If so, you may want to think about changing that setting, or being more meticulous about clicking off the minor checkbox when you make non-minor edits. Please remember that any content change is not a minor edit. --TreyHarris 21:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 39% for major edits and 25% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Liberator
Hi, Pinback! Thanks for redirecting Orac on my new Liberator page. I didn't realize it already existed. On a more personal note, it's nice to run into another Dark Star fan! If there had been any female crew member (not counting computers, of course), I might have picked her name instead of Nude Amazon 05:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Maddie
I would agree to a possible deletion of that article. Joyous | Talk 23:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Hennepin County
My apologies on the revert on Hennepin County, Minnesota. I misread the diff page and thought you were removing the "U.S." when you were actually adding it, which is an important clarification to make sure the project is not Americentric. Thanks for your work, again my apologies. EdwinHJ | Talk 14:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Larkin
Thanks for the copyedit, though I'm a little regretful that this unintentionally funny sentence got fixed: "He remained in this position until his death." ND 04:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you the same Sgt. Pinback?
Are you the same Sgt. Pinback who ran a BBS in Maryland? If so, then you know me from there, and we both coincidentally were editing the page on Counties in Delaware. If so, hello! If not, never mind. :)  Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 21:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Somewhere, United States
Why do you keep adding ", United States" to every city reference in Wikipedia? The wikilinked city names identify that the city is, in fact, in the United States. Why add it to every article in Wikipedia? -- AlexDW 03:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * My reply to your reply is on my talk page. --AlexDW 02:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Commas
Please explain why you deleted the commas in the dates on the article The Pat Sajak Show. Thanks. --Zpb52 22:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Currency
See here. Certain ways of linking it are acceptable, others not so. Unless there's any confusion about what currency is being referred to (eg an article about a company that operates in more than one country) I tend not to bother linking at all. One Night In Hackney 303  20:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Pet Food Recall Timeline Edits
Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for the edits on the time-line article. I think that they really improved things. Jfwambaugh 14:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

College football
I noticed you added "U.S." to college football on current events. Is there another country that does college football, or even calls their universities "college" like the U.S. does? I'm not saying it to be confrontational, I really thought "college football" was rather self-explanatory. Mike H. Celebrating three years of being hotter than Paris 08:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

BLP
If you start a biographical article of a living person as you did at Otto Pérez Molina please can you add the tag to the talk page so we can ensure the article stays within our important WP:BLP policy. Thanks, SqueakBox 03:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Adding country to articles
Can you point to a policy that requires the addition of the country when referring to a location? Alansohn (talk) 05:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The Captain(1900s magazine) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect The Captain(1900s magazine). Since you had some involvement with the The Captain(1900s magazine) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.
