Hi. I notice that you've reformatted this article. [1] I was wondering what the reason is, and whether this has been done for many other articles. It looks kind of cluttered and unusual now, with text sandwiched between the infobox and the Table of Contents. Any chance I could persuade you to restore the prior format? Thanks.

I note that you removed the list of Jennifers from Jennifer (given name), citing Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anthroponymy. Which section on that talk page did you have in mind? The project did not achieve consensus on this matter. For the most popular names, I sought approval for a selective summary of most-famous people, but the example which I most liked ( Sarah (given name)) has since been changed to a less selective list. I propose to revert your removal; otherwise editors will add the list on the disambiguation page again. - Fayenatic (talk) 16:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
I removed your notability tag; a pizza chain in various places in Japan is clearly a notable subject. However, I replaced it with an {{expand}} to show that the article needs to be expanded. WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Please see my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B.R. Guest. I added some references to the article. -- Eastmain ( talk) 23:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

In order for this to have a chance, I do think you're going to need to go through old AFDs and find examples of what the community has traditionally found non-notable and why. Guidelines can only describe what has been done in the past, not dictate what to do in the future. Good reasoning doesn't work without AFD precedent. I tried something similar to this years ago with my guideline for notability of royalty and it ended up stalled in limbo. Basing it on an arbitrary set of rules—no matter how sensible they are—dooms the project from the start. Check out the early talk history of that one for what not to do.

It was a bit difficult, it could have been either No Consensus or Keep, it ran for 4 days and 21 hours by my math, so I doubt many more people would have commented if it was extended. Best. MBisanz talk 04:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You made a request at WP:HD, linking to an articles for deletion vote. I've removed it, because it per WP:CANVASS, as this is not the appropriate venue for soliciting for or fixing the AfD discussion. If you believe malpractice has occurred on the discussion, WP:ANI is probably the best location, but otherwise, please remember that AfD is a community discussion, and all editors are entitled to their opinion. Best, PeterSymonds ( talk) 17:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Kickstart, may I respectfully suggest you help delete some of the crap articles at AfD instead of arguing with people who come to a different conclusion than you do on borderlines cases. I'm not saying you can't discuss or bring up points in the context of the debate, but I don't see a need to engage in individual battles or arguments with others when they don't agree with you. We're giving our best judgements. Or am I wrong? :) ChildofMidnight ( talk) 22:39, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
In answer to your request in the "discussion" portion of Wikipedia "RhubarB', a photo of a 3-year-old rhubarb root ball is available at www.HighAltitudeRhubarb.com Enjoy.
Dear Kick: Did you ever find out any info on Jack Vaughan who did the cartoons for TMEN? Stan: saunleman@gmail.com. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.36.61.132 ( talk) 18:34, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Latinlover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.
If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 10:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, please see my reply in the Talk section of the Stock selection criteria article, as I need feedback from copyeditors with more experience and knowledge on this particular subject. Thanks!-- Soulparadox ( talk) 01:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Your upload of File:45px-Canada Maple Leaf.png or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading File:Nightynight.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 01:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
I understood somewhere that you know something about that now down userfriendly website. If you still are or have contacts I could have a look at what's there. I'm an old sysop/sysadm, now retired with too much time on my hands. Thanks. Antti Anttir717 ( talk) 15:09, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
The file File:Subaru1999.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused, low-res, no obvious use. Better files at c:Category:Subaru Forester (SF, 1997).
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --
