I noticed that an individual had made modifications to the article Ranger's_Apprentice and you reverted it to its previous condition, see link Diff between the versions at question . The individual not only added several notes of interest, but fixed several inaccuracies. I understand that you reverted it because it seemed to add fluff to the article. I am just giving you a heads up that I am going to not revert to the previous changes, but incorporate them into an addition and fixes to the article. I hope the changes that I will make are amiable to you. Jab843 ( talk) 03:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
Alan Kulwicki, selected as a good article
Alan Dennis Kulwicki (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series) racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams. After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark " Polish Victory Lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and was unable to defend his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers. Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life.

You have deleted my page October2003 which I believe I was working on in my page space so that I could continue to improve the quality and content of this page before publishing to Wiki. I would like to know why you have deleted it. Was I building the page in the wrong work area?
You also deleted the page with the reasoning of ambiguous / promotional content. I would like to know how the content for the individual I was writing this page on is any different to the content found out the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Arno as I copied the same style of factual content.
Your comments on this would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by October2003 ( talk • contribs) 14:39, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Notice you'd removed the (United States) from the end since there are no other 506th Infantry Regiments listed, so no disambiguation is required. I'm curious if consistency with the other regimental article titles ( 502nd Infantry Regiment (United States) and 504th Infantry Regiment (United States), for example) is reason enough to leave the unneccesary disambiguation intact. I think it is, as we would otherwise need to go through every such regimental article and change the titles on those without another article of similar name. Interested in your thoughts. -- Habap ( talk) 13:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello, and nice to meet you, Habap. I wasn't aware of the discussion and am willing to revert my move per the discussion for standardization that occurred three years ago. I'll keep tabs on the discussion. Airplaneman ✈ 23:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
Just contacting you to request reinstatement of the Beta Lambda Zeta social fraternity page. The page provides information regarding the fraternity and its history, so it does contain value. The page is also linked to several others, notably the Emory and Henry College page and the Frank Rowlett page.

Hello. Before moving the article List of characters in the Hunger Games trilogy to its current place, it was in my userspace under the title of "User:List of Characters in the Hunger Games trilogy". I was creating the article in that userspace with the help of one other editor, who posted a comment on the talk page of the soon-to-be article, therefore in User talk:Glimmer721/List of Characters in the Hunger Games trilogy, which used to exist (I removed it) as a redirect to Talk:List of characters in the Hunger Games trilogy. So when I archived my talk page, it searched everything beginning with User talk:Glimmer721 and is under the impression that User talk:Glimmer721/List of Characters in the Hunger Games trilogy is a former archive of mine. Could you please delete User talk:Glimmer721/List of Characters in the Hunger Games trilogy for me please to prevent this confusion? Thanks, Glimmer721 talk 01:15, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Can you temporarily restore the MDS Technology article and wait a few days before deleting articles after a notification? There's no need to hurry up the deletion after a notification was first sent. I've been busy and by some misfortune have forgotten to update the article with more relevant information; it's not the only article I pay attention to either.

I have created a few pages and edited several others. I am working on the Waterfalls project, too. It is A LOT of work to create an article from scratch and make sure links work, references are current and formatted. :)
I was unsure about the talk page. I kinda thought it was just a chat, but I see how it can be useful to maintain it, so I will take your advice about archiving!

Thanks for short term protection of the University of Dallas article, as per my request. As usual, the protect was placed 30 minutes after the non-discussion guy reverted my changes! :) If you could find your way possible to revert his changes here, he might be forced to talk to me and we might settle this. If not, I will just wait until the block expires. Thanks. Student7 ( talk) 22:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

![]() Thanks for participating in the October 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive! We made significant progress, wikifying hundreds of articles.

Protecting a mate wanting to peddle his POV? This game, apparently, was played in central NSW, and comes from the language of the area, from the one and only written source that exists, a book written by Ken Edwards, who is neither a historian nor an expert in indigenous languages, and who has not referenced where his story comes from. All of a sudden, this author of this wiki article is making a claim that the etching depicting a ball game in Victoria is the very same game that was supposedly being played in central NSW. Sorry, it all smacks of POV, and I'm not sure why he would be getting protection to continue peddling POV. Figghiu Beddu ( talk) 22:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I reviewed the history of the Michael Welner BLP and find no justification for protection so I requested unprotection and was advised to [ ask you] about it first. I have not asked for an article to be protected or unprotected before and am not real familiar with the protocol. The BLP has only 1 instance of blatant vandalism that I could find and has never had an edit war nor much editing at all other than that by the Editor who requested protection, who is a new Editor with this being his/her single topic of editing,I think, and who might be overreacting to normal article development and the necessary inclusion of well-sourced criticism of a Subject at times.

Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hi Airplaneman. I'm not trying to be funny, but I'm really curious to know why you deleted User:Quinsetiti/United republic of quinsetiti form the user space, but not the hoax they posted in article space at United Republic of Quinsetiti. Cheers, -- Kudpung ( talk) 07:02, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you temporarily restore the MDS Technology article and wait a few days before deleting articles after a notification? There's no need to hurry up the deletion after a notification was first sent. I've been busy and by some misfortune have forgotten to update the article with more relevant information; it's not the only article I pay attention to either. I'm going to update it momentarily. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Desagwan ( talk • contribs) 11:09, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to this, the third edition of our WikiProject's newsletter. In this month's newsletter, I encountered a problem, well, two problems actually. I needed some help with the production: suggestions and other writers. As with last month, if you have any suggestions for the newsletter, please add them at the Tips Desk. If you would like to write some of the next issue, that's even better! Just come go over to the main Newsletter page to see where you can help out, and of course, as always, please give us your feedback on this edition, on the talk page. Until next time, happy editing!

Hi! I replied to you on Category_talk:Inline_skating! Thanks! Geosak ( talk) Geosak ( talk) 22:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I have created a few pages and edited several others. I am working on the Waterfalls project, too. It is A LOT of work to create an article from scratch and make sure links work, references are current and formatted. :)
I was unsure about the talk page. I kinda thought it was just a chat, but I see how it can be useful to maintain it, so I will take your advice about archiving!
Thanks again for all your tutelage!! It is much appreciated. jsfouche ☽☾ talk 22:08, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for short term protection of the University of Dallas article, as per my request. As usual, the protect was placed 30 minutes after the non-discussion guy reverted my changes! :) If you could find your way possible to revert his changes here, he might be forced to talk to me and we might settle this. If not, I will just wait until the block expires. Thanks. Student7 ( talk) 22:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi APM, you may like to consider blocking Usertalk:Kaylynn1998 now. Cheers, -- Kudpung ( talk) 05:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Could you make a Wikipedia Ad for PJTF? (or at least get some quick pictures to put together?) Thanks! 173.49.140.141 ( talk) 21:30, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is going out of control! IPs and some other editors. I believe it is time to semi protect the article until February or at least January. Nascar 1996 02:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

![]() Thanks for participating in the October 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive! We made significant progress, wikifying hundreds of articles. However, the backlog still needs a large amount of effort-- discussions about the next drive (in December) are underway. Until then, happy editing! |
Protecting a mate wanting to peddle his POV? This game, apparently, was played in central NSW, and comes from the language of the area, from the one and only written source that exists, a book written by Ken Edwards, who is neither a historian nor an expert in indigenous languages, and who has not referenced where his story comes from. All of a sudden, this author of this wiki article is making a claim that the etching depicting a ball game in Victoria is the very same game that was supposedly being played in central NSW. Sorry, it all smacks of POV, and I'm not sure why he would be getting protection to continue peddling POV. Figghiu Beddu ( talk) 22:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Do you think anyone will be adopted if they've been fighting vandalism for a few months? I've been offered adoption in June, but never got adopted. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
I'd be willing to help out, my grades have been going back up so I have more free time on Wikipedia now though obviously no time in the morning. Derild 49 21 ☼ 02:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I reviewed the history of the Michael Welner BLP and find no justification for protection so I requested unprotection and was advised to [ ask you] about it first. I have not asked for an article to be protected or unprotected before and am not real familiar with the protocol. The BLP has only 1 instance of blatant vandalism that I could find and has never had an edit war nor much editing at all other than that by the Editor who requested protection, who is a new Editor with this being his/her single topic of editing,I think, and who might be overreacting to normal article development and the necessary inclusion of well-sourced criticism of a Subject at times.
