 * I didn't personally. But I have it from a reliable source.  Probably not accepted by Wikipedia, though.  Tu rk ey ph an t 21:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How did you find out before Dancesafe? Aestetix (talk) 22:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why would Dancesafe be amongst the first to know?! I think Erowid and Rick are two reliable sources.  Tu rk ey ph an t 22:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

JWH-073
JWH-073 is active both orally and when vaporised. The smoked dose is about 2-3 mg.

Could please add some more information on this issue. The section right now is not very clear, e.g. "active" in which way, I assume you mean psychoactive. Also the dose is not clear, 2-3 mg for an adult male human? Thanks, Panoramix303 (talk) 19:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Is my clarification any good? I'll try to find a source for the dose but I'm not sure whether information has been published yet - I suspect the figure comes from subjective bioassays.  Tu rk ey ph an t 19:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed active to psychoactive. Paracetamol is also active but not in this sense. Please add a source as soon as possible, erowid is fine, too. -- Panoramix303 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC).


 * I had the link going to psychoactive for clarity - in this context, the shorter "active" is more common in my experience.  Tu rk ey ph an t 19:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is for a bigger audience, so it might be misleading for people not familiar with this subject. -- Panoramix303 (talk) 20:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 02:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

punctuation and verifiability
Please see my comment at Talk:Father's_Day. I already gave enough sources at Mother's Day to satisfy the verifiability policy, and I'll add a few to Father's Day in a pair of hours. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:01, 27 January 2009 (UTC) Hum, I just archived all discussions from 2006 and 2007 on Talk:Mother's Day, and I accidentally sent your recent comment to the archive Talk:Mother's_Day/Archive_1 because it was done on an old discussion. I'd rather not unarchive the whole discussion because it's been made moot by the new arguments given at the recent discussion at Talk:Mother's_Day. Could you read that new section and comment there taking into account the arguments given there? --Enric Naval (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Just a note
I saw that you had made some changes to the spelling of words in Crayon and it had been reverted by another editor. I just wanted to point you to the section on variations of English. As long as it is consistent within the article, it doesn't matter which "version" of English is used. I hope you find this helpful. Wperdue (talk) 15:30, 9 May 2009 (UTC)wperdue

The U
Just wondering what would provoke you to change the List of Crayola crayon colors page to include a U in the word color. Binney & Smith/Crayola (now part of Hallmark) is a company that was founded in the United States and maintains its headquarters there. Crayola's website and lists referenced on the aforementioned Wiki page all use the spelling "color." Would it make sense for me to change the word colour to color in the Smarties article? I think not. Crayonsman (talk) 02:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just fixing a broken link to that page. Feel free to change it to a redirect.  Tu rk ey ph an t 11:08, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring on Osama bin Laden
Hi: You seem to be in an edit war over at Osama bin Laden. Please do not call fellow editors stupid, and discuss controversial changes on the Talk page instead of edit warring. Thanks, Ray  Talk 15:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no edit war, I did not call anyone stupid and the changes are far from controversial. The justification for my changes are in the opening section of the article and the other editor doesn't seem to understand what "last name", a term used in his edit summary, actually means. Please feel free to take a look for yourself.  Cheers,  Tu rk ey ph an t 16:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Categories
To add an article to a category, you do not edit the category page. Instead, you add a category tag to the article. DS (talk) 23:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Which edit are you referring to?  Tu rk ey ph an t 20:27, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Category talk:British confectionery, a perfectly reasonable question which I answered for you. DS (talk) 03:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks very much.  Tu rk ey ph an t 14:24, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

re: Sid Vicious
No ref was provided and you had not made any significant edit to the article previously. Your edit summary merely said "pound". Sottolacqua  (talk) 13:59, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you please refrain from using the term retards in your edit summaries? Thanks, Kingturtle = (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Your rename suggestion on Offside (association football)
Sorry, I just don't understand your latest contribution to that thread. What is it that you believe either does or does not make consistent sense? Kevin McE (talk) 17:47, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no consistency in using "association football" to describe a sport commonly known as "football" or "soccer" and "rugby" to describe a sport commonly known as "rugby".  Tu rk ey ph an t 20:29, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't describe that as a matter of consistency. Apart from the fact that there is not one sport called rugby, the sport that the offside article in question is about is known variously by three names: football, soccer, and association football.  Of these three, consensus was reached that the last mentioned is the appropriate disambiguator, after many debates, of which this is just one.  As I've said, I don't agree with it, but it was the consensus reached after discussion, which is how things happen here.  Kevin McE (talk) 21:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand all that - all I'm saying is that the consensus should be re-evaluated as obviously it's very inconsistent. The fact that there's not one sport called rugby merely strengthens my point.  Tu rk ey ph an t 21:57, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ICard Mobile


A tag has been placed on ICard Mobile requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:59, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Linux package formats, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NAS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 00:35, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Lunar Distance Method
FYI - I removed your request for citation and added a reference.

However, I thought I'd mention that you are confusing two things in your comment that accompanied the citation request.

The Moon illusion is a real phenomena and is purely illusion. However, this is not the effect that is noted on the Lunar distance page. In the latter case, the moon's apparent size is dependent on the actual distance to the moon. This changes from apogee to perigee and the apparent size differs by about 7%. The Moon page shows that the Angular diameter varies from	29.3 to 34.1 arcminutes.

I hope this clears things up. 99.245.230.104 (talk) 19:40, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

File source problem with File:GOAT.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:GOAT.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of KiteMobile


The article KiteMobile has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The network was announced in 2011 but never appears to have become active. Their website is parked. Creation of this article was premature.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Alternate
You might want to see the Wiktionary entry for alternate, which includes the following definitions:

Adjective

 * 3. (US) Other; alternative.
 * Hyperlinked text is displayed in alternate color in a Web browser.

Noun

 * 2. (US) A substitute; an alternative; one designated to take the place of another, if necessary, in performing some duty.

Zevvle moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Zevvle, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  13:25, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
