Your version of the JHU template from 2009 looks nice. A few too many blues, but still very nice to look at. Have you seen it lately? We need to do something about this. JamaUtil ( talk) 03:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I had to do this revert [1]. My edit summary explains it.
You seem like you really want to help. There are plenty of guidelines here that spell things out pretty clearly. It's just a bit of a challenge at first to find them. Here are some good links:

I have notice you have removed several prod templates with the justification "so that deletion can be discussed". However, you have then not provided any reasons for removing the template. See Wikipedia:Prod#Objecting, which encourages users to:
In future, I would be grateful if you would provide explanations for why prod templates are removed. Christopher Connor ( talk) 19:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I see you have removed my prod tag from Brando Advertising Agency citing "agency appears to have a well referenced article that is actively updated". This does not address the prod rationale I gave; indeed it directly contradicts it ("Refs are actually refspam"). I'm asking you to stop deprodding my prod tags without good reason, something you have done previously. Christopher Connor ( talk) 23:05, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Potomac Education Foundation. Since you had some involvement with the Potomac Education Foundation redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Thanks for fixing my mistake. I was doing some cleanup of a list-article in the wake of some mass-production edits done by another user, and I misread the IACBE article. -- Orlady ( talk) 14:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Small-scale fishing is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Small-scale fishing until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Christopher Connor ( talk) 11:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
For what is apparently not the first time (at all), you are attempting an edit war. You have failed to respond to talk items that pointed to excessive and non-NPOV edits on your part. Please avoid doing this whenever possible, in order to maintain a collaborative atmosphere. Truth or consequences-2 ( talk) 23:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the improved tone. I am referring to this article:
You have used it to write this sentence:
Would you mind citing text in that article which applies to the above sentence, and how this specifically applies to SNCF? I just find it strange that the article is not used in the French fr:SNCF and do not see the connection to SNCF, but this does seem like a potentially helpful source.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Brian K. Johnson 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 a person or group of people, 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". 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 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.

"As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article, because college presidents are notable. However this is a Biography of living person article, with special rules for fairness in the use of non-negative material- see WP:BLP. The negative material here is sourced, but I'd suggest you try to include something positive about his earlier career, and if he made a statement on leaving office, link to it and quote some of it. Please be very careful, and try to write in such a way that, if you were the person, though you surely would not like the material, you nonetheless would not think we were being spiteful.
Hi. When you recently edited Brian K. Johnson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Consulting ( 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 doesn't matter if you think the article is NPOV or not, that I am reasonably disputing it, with sources showing negative material seemingly ignored is enough to add the tag. Prodego talk 04:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I don't know if you're aware of it , but in the WP:NAME guidelines that relate to video games ( WP:NCVG), there is a specific line that states "never use "(computer game)" or "(computer gaming)" for any disambig even if the article is exclusively about a PC-related topic.". - X201 ( talk) 20:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
