Someone else deleted and redirected the article, so I deleted the talk page. Bearian (talk) 05:27, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Steven Sinofsky sourcing
I noticed you removed the AllThingsD news source I added, writing, "Removed unofficial source". First, when removing sources, please do not use minor edits. More importantly, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "unofficial". There is nothing wrong with third-party sources; in fact there are multiple essays (e.g. Third-party sources) advocating them. Remember, we don't just want FooCompany (the exact company isn't important to the point) telling us about FooCompany. We want to know what newspapers and third parties say, since FooCompany may be biased.

Finally, you did not replace the source. So after you removed it, there was really no source at all; note that the prior Presspass source was about him taking the position, not about leaving. More sources have since been added, so the referencing for this should be fine now. I just wanted to make some quick notes for the future. Superm401 - Talk 03:46, 15 November 2012 (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.

Disambiguation link notification for October 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ghulam-E-Mustafa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hariharan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

April 2023
Hello, I'm Tollens. I noticed that you recently removed content from Shivangi Kolhapure without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * I apologize that I may have missed putting that in since I was trying to edit a redirect on my mobile using desktop mode. The redirect should be deleted as this is wrongly pointing to that person's husband's page and IMHO prevents anyone from actually creating and adding information to that person's own page.

 * No problem! If you're looking to delete it, please open a discussion at redirects for discussion, rather than blank the page - empty articles can be confusing to readers. Tollens (talk) 03:07, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I will do that instead. Smarter1 (talk) 03:08, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
