Wage slavery
Active edit dispute - nearing edit warring - going on at wage slavery. Since you've edited that page in the past, you may like to drop by and have a look. Thanks, LK (talk) 10:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.

Help
I am thoroughly confused by the myriad of rules governing communications or whatever on this website. It does not assist me to go through tons of written instructions - I can only go directly to whatever it is I am adding to any of these articles.

I do wish to thank you for your kind words about my expansion of Waddingham. Occasionally I will do that. Tonight I did that in two ways, correcting a word I left out in describing how much poison was found in Ada Baguely (I forgot the word "morphine" of all things), and I added a citation to Rowland's book regarding two arrests and prison sentences Waddingham had during her first marriage. It took me awhile to figure out how to add the footnote citation (a first for me).

I also added several reference works on the career and crime of General Daniel Sickels, one of which was a book that I added to the biographies of Philip Barton Key II and Isabel Sickels.

It will take a long time before I am fully used to this system. But thank you for noticing my contributions.

Redirect of Maximum sixty
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Maximum sixty, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Maximum sixty is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Maximum sixty, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Question
Is there any particular reason why you felt compelled to delete my posting for the St. Edwards Hall page from the University of Notre Dame? I edited the notable traditions section to include interhall hockey, which has become a much admired part of dorm life. Although it was slightly humorous, there is other content on the page (especially under notable residents)which is insignificant and unverifiable. I'm sure that the people that actually search for the St. Eds page (such as prospective students or current residents) would be much more interested in content such as I posted rather than the tedious historical drabble. 24.7.241.220 (talk) 21:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Disgruntled St. Edwards resident
 * Content that simply serves to be humorous is not, in itself, reason for inclusion. Additionally, material in Wikipedia needs to be properly sourced. You should take a look at our policies and guidelines. Regarding your comment that "there is other content on the page ... which is insignificant and unverifiable", you are correct. But that's the same thing as if you get pulled over for going 60 mph in a 40 mph zone and say to the officer "but I was just keeping up with traffic - everyone else was going that fast." It's great that you're contributing to Wikipedia, but you just need to make sure that what you are contributing is fit for an encyclopedia. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  shirulashem     (talk)   21:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

infobox skyscraper
Looks like my error. Will have a fix in a few minutes. I apologize for not detecting this. The work on this was interupted due to another matter but I thought everything was running fine. Aparently not. -J JMesserly (talk) 01:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. It was a dumb mistake.  There was a mixup during some reverts that were done.  It should work now- if this is not the case, please notify me as soon as is convenient. Or- no problem, just revert the last version before my changes.  Thanks for the notice, and going to the trouble of tracking me down.  I appreciate it.  -J JMesserly (talk) 02:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Thanks!  shirulashem     (talk)   13:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Green Party of Canada
Hi, how are you?

There is an article about Green_Party_of_Canada then there is another article History_of_the_Green_Party_of_Canada, shouldn't they be merged and if yes what is the proper procedure?

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ntb613 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good question. From the size of the articles, it looks like they do, in fact, need to be two separate articles. If they were merged together, it would be too big. In this situation, the thing to make sure of is that there are main templates on the more general article (Green Party of Canada) under the history section as well as as the top of the more specific article (History of the Green Party of Canada), which there are. You can read more about this at WP:MERGE. Also, don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. :)  shirulashem     (talk)   19:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Got it. Thanks. Ntb613 (talk) 20:18, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Cite error
Hi, how are you?

I found this "Cite error: tags exist, but no < references/ > tag was found" on this page.

how could i fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ntb613 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I know i forgot again to sign. :) Ntb613 (talk) 20:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It's because there's a reference tag below the in the "Order of precedence" box. I think the references section should be below everything.   shirulashem     (talk)   02:20, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
