I have reverted this edit of yours to Jimbo Wales's userpage. Although he was one of the instrumental figures in setting Wikipedia up, Jimbo is not very active here and certainly doesn't have 40,000 edits; he has barely one-tenth of that number. – iridescent 17:40, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 11:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I think that {db-bio} was the tag you were looking for. :) You can find them all listed at WP:CSD. - FisherQueen ( talk · contribs) 12:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
You duplicated a large part of the help desk in [1]. I have removed the duplicate. PrimeHunter ( talk) 14:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I see you're looking to be adopted on Wikipedia. Based on your contributions, you seem to be a constructive, good faith editor and I would be happy to take you on. You look to be a net positive to the project, exactly what we need here at WP. Would you be interested? You can respond here, on your talk page (I'll have it watched). If not, no harm, no foul. ~ ωαdεstεr16 «talk stalk» 18:15, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I have no idea - sorry. Agathoclea ( talk) 18:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice, but the reason I put it as vandalism, is because the bio tag is about a real person, not a made up person, which is what the author says it is in the article. But I'll make sure to try to find more specific speedy delete tags in the future. FingersOnRoids ( talk) 00:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Rob thanks for acknowledging the mistake with the remove tag on Lorraine Platt. As a new user I see that the warning is still up on the article..Can you advise how that is removed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by GingerSnowman ( talk • contribs) 13:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks to everyone who has let me freely organise
Jimbo's Barnstars but I feel I might have accidentally deleted a barnstar in the process, if you could tell me the name of the person who's barnstar I accidentally deleted in the process it would be much appreciated. :)
Thanks for your help at AfC. Just a gentle note. We like to keep track of the articles created through the project by adding {{ WPAFC}} to the talk pages. (We even do this for redirects.) Don't bother doing the ones you've already created, just a request for the future. Thanks and keep it up, Martin msgj 18:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for all your hard work on Proposed naming of Oprah Winfrey to Barack Obama's senate seat. SamanthaG ( talk) 18:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi. When you tag an article for speedy deletion, like PRN Studio just now, it is a good thing to copy onto the author's talk page the warning notice which is provided in the template on the article page. That way he knows what has happened and is given some pointers as to why; otherwise when he sees the article gone he just thinks he pressed the wrong button and simply puts the it in again. If he's a new user with nothing on his talk page, I think it's a good idea to put some kind of welcome message before the warning, to soften the blow and give some more links to help him learn; some of the warning templates now do that automatically, but if not you can put {{subst:welcome}} ~~~~ or one of the others.

Hello, I got a message from you about me vandalizing wikipedia pages. I haven't. I work in a high school and use wikipedia often. Looks like it's a shared IP address. I do have a wikipedia account, but decided now not to log in so you see the IP number. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.83.128.14 ( talk) 13:30, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
I have Grave Rob/Archive 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Your contributions here have been excellent and I have been happy to be your adopter. You've become a valuable asset to the community and I'm glad you came aboard. You've got enough time and edits now to sport a service badge (specifically, the Burba). Find a copy of it I left below this barnstar and, should you so choose, wear it proudly on your userpage!

Just curious, are you responsible for the funny and somewhat scary image appearing here? I can't seem to figure out where it's coming from and it's very creepy. Beach drifter ( talk) 06:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
It's pretty hilarious, I've had a few beers and was somewhat concerned he was going to follow me to any page I navigated to, forever. Beach drifter ( talk) 06:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I admittedly know nothing about ACC, but checking here, it seems the system does not recognize you as an account creator. I'm not entirely sure how to go about it, I am only a humble article builder and image handler :-), but you may want to try Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Acc. You may also want to contact User:FastLizard4 who is both a sysop and an account creator. Sometimes you just have to look for the right person... ~ ωαdεstεr16 «talk stalk» 13:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
