Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 07:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Cool
Cool! The issue is resolved. If you are indeed contributing something useful to the article then go ahead. You have the "undo" button and you could undo my edits.- Ravichandar 07:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Ravichandar has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Add References
I think i ought to have told u this too. I guess you have carried out your edits in good faith. But then, any statement which you make or fact you add to the article should be referenced. Unreferenced content added by anonymous IPs or new users will be removed by recent changes patrollers on sight, if not me then someone else. So, I advice you to find and add citations from reliable sources if you don't want your edits to be undone. Thanks- Ravichandar 09:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia award
Although I agree with your assessment could you please follow the policies of the project a bit closer. Tagging the article for speedy deletion as nonsense or vandalism would probably have been more appropriate. Unfortunately, your moving the page most likely constitues vandalism and procedurally I'm issuing you with a warning. Please do not take it personally. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Please be civil
Hey, please don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to take a look at the policy about civility on Wikipedia. You sometimes "shout" at people (in ALL CAPS) and put rather rude things in edit summaries (such as this one) and on talk pages. Please comment on contributions and not on other contributors, and do it in a civil and polite way. Also remember that it is irrelevant where somebody lives. People from other parts of the world are perfectly entitled to editing articles about Australian topics.

Another thing: It's easier to get people to listen to your arguments if you write in grammatical English, and don't use abbreviations, alternate spellings etc - I don't think there is any rule that says you have to do that, but my experience is that people tend to overlook or ignore text that is too hard to read. For instance text in all caps, or with a lot of abbreviations, or words that are spelled in a novel way. But feel free to ignore this advice, because it's just my opinion anyway :-) Don't ignore the civility thing though. Thank you! --Bonadea (talk) 15:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

 * I've requested third party opinion on this issue. Let me see if this resolves the dispute.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 01:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I also strongly feel that you must have a look at WP:3RR as well. You might probably have violated WP:3RR with respect to yor edits on Westfield Doncaster on April 17, 2008. - Ravichandar My coffee shop 01:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Your edits at WP:RFA
Noticed that you added a non-existent RFA today, and yesterday. If you are serious about submitting to RFA, you really need to follow the instructions. People submitting to RFA are expected to be able to properly create and transclude their nominations. But I also notice that your account was created on April 11, 2008 and you have less than 100 edits. There's not much of a chance that the RFA would survive for even nominal discussion. Just some things to be aware of. Yngvarr (c) 11:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment
If you think someone should be banned for pointing out similarities between this account and the IP then you really are not ready to be an admin. If you honestly cared about Wikipedia you would stop your "brother" (That excuse has been used a lot on Wikipedia so it's nothing new) from vandalising. If it's you who's been vandalising Wikipedia then you can be banned permanently. You need to mature and wise up. I saw Pedro's link and accusing someone of racism, when they're clearly not being racist, is wholly unproductive and it will not get you anywhere. If you honestly want to help Wikipedia, and not just cause damage by vandalising as an IP, then you'll stop being immature and actually help out. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Scarian Call me Pat!  11:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll tell you some things you need to improve on.
 * On Wikipedia, communication is key. That means it's advisable if you use "standard" spelling/grammar. Chat messenger abbreviations like "lyk", "wos", "omg" aren't great ways to communicate with other Wikipedians. It's recommended that you try your best to communicate in a way that everyone will understand you.
 * Hold your temper. If someone deletes/reverts your edits don't lose your cool. You don't want to end up being blocked for getting angry at someone. Just try and talk to them and ask why they reverted. Don't get pulled into and edit war and don't insult them.
 * Stop your "brother" from using the IP address to vandalise Wikipedia.
 * Do not treat Wikipedia as a joke. Calling someone "racist", when they're not, will just get you blocked. This is a serious project and we're doing our best.
 * That's all I can think of... Oh, and remember to WP:SOURCE your additions. Thanks. If you need anything else please do not hesitate to contact me. And remember to put the tildes at the end of every talk page comment like this: ~ Thanks. Scarian  Call me Pat!  11:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Firefox
Hi there, I don't wish to be rude, but I've noticed you've made some spelling errors whilst editing Wikipedia, so I thought you might be interested in Mozilla Firefox, which can be configured with a spell checking facility built in, which will alert you to spelling errors and allow you to correct them before you save any edits. I find it invaluable when writing and I would recommend it to every editor. Nick (talk) 11:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you !
Hello, Thfrang! Wikipedia thanks you for offering to help in the capacity of an administrator. Sadly, your nomination has been withdrawn as the nomination would likely not have succeeded. Major reasons for this are the limited time you have spent editing Wikipedia and the relatively low number of edits you have made to date; nothing personal. Please don't be disheartened - this was only done to reduce any ill will that might have been generated by the process.

If you wish to help Wikipedia in the capacity of an administrator in the future, you will need to be able to demonstrate why people can trust you with these very powerful tools. To do this, you may wish to help out with maintenance work - here are some pages that you might find helpful:


 * Wikipedia Backlogs
 * Deletion Debates
 * Administrators' noticeboard for Incidents
 * Administrators' noticeboard
 * Wikipedia Policy
 * Requests for Adminship
 * The NoSeptember Admin Project Statistics Site

Once you've spent several more months both creating new content and helping administrators out behind the scenes, you may be ready for another request to become an administrator. You might wish to try an editor review before another request to become an administrator; this is often useful before a new request for adminship and can help you decide if you are ready to stand again. Please remember that whatever happens, many of the administrators you see today on the administrator's noticeboard went through the RfA process at least twice before the community promoted them; one admin notably made seven attempts before succeeding.

Please don't take any RfA criticism personally; rather, look on the process as a constructive way to help you become a better editor. Please don't rush to become an administrator, but take your time and allow the community to take the time we need to be able to judge that we can trust you and your judgement. Look through the various policies and above all, have fun and enjoy yourself building Wikipedia. Once again, Wikipedia thanks for your nomination and we all hope you won't be too upset at the result. Best wishes. Nick (talk) 13:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

RFA advice
Hello, I see you recently submitted an RfA. You may find the following advice helpful before trying again.. If you have not done so already, please read
 * Guide to requests for adminship
 * WP:Admin
 * the admin reading list.
 * I strongly recommend reading WP:CIVIL, based on your interactions with others.
 * Generally, It has been my experience that it takes at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Also, nominees returning after an unsuccessful RfA should wait at least another 3,000 edits and 3 months before trying again. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
 * The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect  and unprotect  pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
 * Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
 * Article building is viewed by many as essential to adminship. I recommend significant participation in WP:GA or WP:FA as the surest way to fulfill this. Alternatively, one should have added a total of 30,000 bytes of content, not necessarily all in one article. I find a large number of "Wikignome" type edits to be acceptable.
 * My suggestion would be to  try again in no less than 3 months and 3000 edits.  I recommend taking part in RfA discussions to help learn from the experiences of others. Many nominees have found it helpful to obtain an Editor Review or to receive Admin coaching before submitting their RfA. Good luck and happy editing.  Dloh  cierekim'''  14:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Artist impression westfield doncaster 3.jpg
Hi Thfrang!

Problems with upload of File:Doncaster external banner.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Doncaster external banner.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Manningham logo
Hello. I see that you have uploaded a new version of the logo for City of Manningham article. The new logo you uploaded has been taken from the website which is perfectly fine. But my query is that I do not believe that is the official logo. I happen to live in the area and the rates and letters still come with this logo. I also know a city councillor and she says that that logo is the current one. I believe a varied logo was used on the website because the official one would not match with the colours and may appear strange. What do you think? Thanks, 07:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry but you've failed to respond to my question so I have had the new logo deleted and the first one reuploaded. Thankyou.   Chicken-7    talk 05:08, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Doncaster external banner.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Doncaster external banner.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 06:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
