Richard Harris
Why did you take it upon yourself to move Richard Harris back to Richard Harris (actor) when we just finished going through the methods of getting it moved, for which the common consensus was support? &mdash;Gordon P. Hemsley→ ✉ 19:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, I am still new to wikipedia, I was unaware that there was an issue about it at all, I did not know, was he really called Richard Harris (actor) before? I moved him, because his name was linked on The Jive Five but that is definitely not the same person! I apologise sincerely if I did some thing wrong ZaphodBeeblebrox 20:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, if you didn't do it on purpose, I'll just get the person who moved it the first time to move it back. Next time, though, you should probably do a little more research before moving a page, as it tends to be a lot harder to reverse than a normal edit. Let me also make you aware of Requested moves, which lays out the process one has to go through to move articles to places that already exist. See also, Talk:Richard Harris. &mdash;Gordon P.

FLCL
As a userbox fan of FLCL, would you be willing to vote for its nomination at Wikipedia's Article Improvement Drive? If elected, it will be the subject of a week-long overhaul, in an attempt to pass in to Featured Article status! Thanks, Litefantastic 16:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Saami orthography
Please do not replace the character đ with ð in Saami words, because this is orthographically incorrect. Saami does not use the same character as Icelandic: the correct way is to use D with stroke.--AAikio 10:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
