Response
I am mystified by your message. Please specify where you believe that I violated WP:NPOV by "adding commentary and my personal analysis". I do not believe that I have done so on any article, and it doesn't help that you don't specify where this is supposed to have happened. Thank you RolandR 16:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

London Mail Processing Plant
fyi - London Mail Processing Plant is up for deletion. Since you recently rewrote the main Canada Post I thought you might have some insight as to its notability. Canuckle 17:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I-35W Mississippi River Bridge
Just wanted to thank you for pointing out the standards for my entry on the I-35W Bridge article. I was unaware. Thanks! :) twofish 15:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Francis E. Dec
Thank you ever so kindly for your kind contributions to the page on Francis E. Dec (our only hope for a future). It is always nice to see more people take an active interest in improving and expanding on the article on this man and his strange life and times. Your contributions are highly appreciated. Thanks again! Korv McHund 20:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Canpar logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Canpar logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Quebec nation issue
Hi! I've noticed you have added to the discussion on Talk:Quebec and, in response to the discussion regarding whether or not Quebec is a nation, I have replied with this. I would like you to read the discussion on the Talk:Quebec page, then read my response and leave your comments on it's talk page! Thanks for your input.  Andrew 6 47 02:11, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Soda-bottle orbitals
Regarding this edit, this was actually not a nonsense/vandalism item…someone actually published (maybe only self-published? but still) this idea and there actually was a Wikipedia entry for it. DMacks (talk) 17:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out. Tomj (talk) 19:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Québec
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Quebec. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Lipton1995 (talk) 16:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Your 3RR report
Hi Tom, just so you know, I did block based on your report, but it had a technical error. All your diffs were incorrect &mdash; they all had an extra 'http:' in them, which broke the link. In the future, please use the 'Preview' function for all your posts, and ensure that all links you provide are actually functional by clicking on each one for testing prior to saving. Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Ab initio quantum chemistry methods
If you are worried about the tone of the example on disilane, you should indicate why on the talk page. That is what the template you added indicates. It is an example. Why not suggest changes to the wording on the talk page. I am happy to discuss changes with you, but I do think that articles like this one need examples to show what the method can do. --Bduke (talk) 07:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
