Check the JPL source again, I had just forgotten to change the URL when changing everything else. You'll see now that everything is supported by the JPL source. (Note that all the numbers were already correct, it was just an oversight on changing the number in the URL.) Bradjamesbrown (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

R:E Editing football players appearances and goals
You answered my question on the helpdesk page. Cheers for the tip but i have changed the timezone to europe/london but i then edited joe lewis's but it still comes up with the time from an hour ago.Do you know what i need to do now or what i have done wrong. Thanks Gobbleswoggler (talk) 10:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha ha ha. I would really not know the answer to that. Perhaps it's an issue with the spring time versus winter time issue. But most probably it is because of that only. Try leaving the query with your additional note on the help desk. Someone might jump in and give the answer. Warm regards.   ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  10:39, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

ANI
Per the comment at ANI - I have removed it because that will usually draw more attention to the page... to request oversight please take a look at this page. Thanks. 7 05:12, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi 7. I'd request you to put it back (or move it to the appropriate section). I'll be grateful for that. In my opinion, the oversight is not the right place as the requested removal of comment contained no personal information. But your move will be welcome. Thanks for your message.   ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  05:15, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * (ec)You are welcome to undo my removal. FWIW - I have looked at the comment (and removed it from plain view) but I agree that this is not something the oversight team will consider severe enough for RD2 deletion.  You can still send it to them, but I think this is a case of Revert.   7  05:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

"Paki"?
Yes, I realise it can be interpreted as an offensive word, but I hoped that people might realise that I was trying to be humorous. It was obviously not intended to be offensive to anyone, and it clearly wasn't directed at anyone. – PeeJay 14:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

War of Ideas
Wifione...I created a page on the "war of ideas" because it is a reemerging concept being employeed by the US Government. I agree with you that many people are unaware of it (hence my reason for creating the page) but, nonetheless, feel that its an important component of our national security. It was used very successfully by America during the Cold War, viz a vis, The US Information Agency, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, etc and was exteremly effective in communicating directing with those populations behind the "Iron Curtain." These efforts helped the US to combat lies and disinformation by the communist governments towards their own population. The "War of Ideas" is NOT American propopganda, its getting "our side" and "our values" out there, as well as, not allowing our enemies to be the only ones communicating to target populations. If we can stop a community from tacitly supporting or accepting those that commit terrorism, then we've gotten rid of a potential "breeding ground" for terrorist activities and thus will NOT need to use force, via troops, bombs, missles, etc. I think its an important concept and welcome any assistence that you may have to offer in conforming to wikipedia guidelines.

The cannon game
I'm trying to add references and comment to the deletion pages but not sure how. This is a very note worthy event but I'm new to Wiki and editing. Pfinx —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfinx (talk • contribs) 04:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thanks for your message. You should go through Editing. It's a wonderful easy to understand guide about various editing processes on Wikipedia. It also has links to various other helpful articles. Please do write back in case you have any other queries. By the way, you should sign any statement you leave on anybody's talk page by typing in ~ after your message. Do remember, you should not sign inside articles when you are editing articles (like the Cannon Game). I am leaving a copy of this message on your talk page.

Re: The Leonard and Jane Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy
I saw multiple articles created with just a (re)statement of the full name of the center. Not seeing where a full article was starting, I deleted them all. I have no objections to a substantive article being created about the center; however, it needs to be more than just the center's name. —C.Fred (talk) 05:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Respected Sir
Respected Sir You had deleted an account of Dr. Pardeep Goel saying that the facts are wrong but how can u say that the facts are wrong. All the facts entered on that page were 100% correct and there is no wrong fact on that page. So please add this account again and in case of any doubt please contact me on pardeepsbd@gmail.com

Dr.Pardeep Goel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.207.57.159 (talk) 07:06, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Dear Mr. Pardeep Goel,

On Wikipedia, you need to provide reliable sources to prove notability. I'll recommend that you should please read >


 * Writing your first article
 * Article wizard
 * Base criteria for articles to be considered for including on Wikipedia
 * Why Wikipedia requires Reliable Sources
 * What does Wikipedia mean by Verifiability
 * And why Wikipedia should not contain your own research, what we call Original Research Also, I suggest that you yourself do not re-create the article, as you would fall under our conflict of interest guidelines. I would recommend you submit your proposed article along with reliable sources to WP:Articles for creation. Please do write back for further help.   ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex"> ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  21:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

1) google links != notability and 2) speedy deletion is a question of whether the article indicates notability. Ironholds (talk) 10:29, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. You could've tried to save the article dude... I disagree with the CSD like totally. But you mean good. So I'm not going to put the undeletion request on (not involved that much). :) Take care in the future if you wish to try and save pages that have like thousands of notability links screaming at you on Google Search (it's a hint for your RfA; and I don't want people to bring this up or other examples).   ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex"> ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  10:33, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Please try not to talk like a hemp-wearing patchouli-smelling hippie from the 60s. I am not running for another RfA in the immediate future, and you don't seem to understand what CSD is. CSD is not "what does google say?" it is "what does the article say?". The article has no claim to notability, so it's a CSD shoe-in. And for reference, the first page of the "like thousands of notability links on google search" are all either unreliable or not third-party, and therefore provide no notability whatsoever. Dude.

No accident
I added another tag because I reckoned non-notable fitted better than spam. It's not particularly spammy in style, although probably the intent is another matter. No harm in using both barrels.... Peridon (talk) 12:09, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Mohammed alsefari
In regard to this article, "MOHAMMED AL-SEFARI IS SOUNDS VERY PROMISING PLAYER IN THE KINGDOM .HE PLAYS AS A Midfielder..AND HIS TALL ABOUT 1.86 M" does not sound like a hoax to me. Rather, it sounds like someone trying to hype some soccer player who may or may not have actually achieved anything yet. I haven't looked up this player, so I don't know if he really exists or has accomplished anything, but saying that someone is a promising player in "the kingdom" (maybe Saudi Arabia?), plays midfielder, and is about 6'1", is not an inherent hoax. I would use db-bio instead for this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
Hello, I have read the conflict of interest article and do realise what it is abouth. I have not edited the text, but left an explination on the talk page. This was meant to give information abouth who we are and where we officially are rigistered, but it is by no means my intention to incorporate any of this information in the wikipedia article. I am aware of the fact that if I add the latest information on the talk page into the normal article, that it would destroy the objectivity of the article. But I am just explaning the real facts as a reaction on the talk page.

What am I expected to do know? I was not planing to change the article untill I got approaval from any of the administrators. But it would be nice to come with an answer abouth what I chould change or do.

 * Hi Thomas. I didn't mean to dissuade you from editing on wikipedia. But you will be dissuaded from writing articles where you are closely involved; the reason why I had encouraged you to read the conflict of interest article. I repeat my advice. Whenever you wish to add anything to the article, first mention it on the talk page of the article. Wait for four to seven days, depending upon how controversial the change might be. Then, in case you don't see any opposition, make the change. In case you see opposition from other editors, try and gain consensus. Read our article on what is meant by consensus on Wikipedia. It's most important. Write back for any further information.  ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex"> ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  16:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, this is DC Barah
Before I treat you too roughly, hope to let you know I enjoyed Robert Heinlein's number of the beast best. I also want to know if "this user" has written anything of notability himself from which "this user" acts so much like a pompous butthead, or if there is some other reason "this user" seemed so rude in "this user's" remarks about my web presence and bio? Now am I over-reacting or were you under-thinking? Let me know... (i may sound mad but really I'm not, just my way of saying hello)Rotsap (talk) 04:19, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia dude! Chill down and chin up! Read WP:Notability properly and write back here for any help you might need in re-making the article so it doesn't get deleted. Our objective is not deleting random subjects, but only those that are non-notable, as per our standards. But that does not mean your article cannot be included at all. It can be, only after you get reliable sources that prove notability. If you need help, would love to help you. Smile and enjoy the experience of editing on Wikipedia.
