I just noticed you made an edit to Ralph Merkle with the edit comment: "m (clean up using AWB)". But all you had done was to remove an empty line before the category listing in the end of the article. There is no need to remove such double lines in the end of articles, it makes no visual change in the article. Those double lines actually make it easier for editors to keep the article text and the category and interwiki links in the end of the article apart. And making meaningless edits like that just wastes the time of other editors who watches those articles. Since when we see that an edit has occurred we go there to check what has been done. (And it wastes database space too, but that is less important since Wikipedia has no lack of disk space.)

Hi, it looks like every porn actress with a stub tag is being listed for deletion. I noticed that you put the notice of one to the project porn's deletion watch list, there might be more to add. (some seem like they are not notable enough, but I don't know enough about the subject). -- Rocksanddirt 21:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

You rock out loud. :) — Disavian ( talk/ contribs) 16:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC) |
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [1]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [2].
For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.
If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. -- Cspurrier 18:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I haven't had the pleasure of knowing who you are before, but I believe the below comment may be pertinent:
Comment. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to believe any of the claims made by Robert Young. In a comment above made from an IP address, Young says "there's a big difference between 'rat catcher for the local council' and in charge of the world's oldest people for the entire planet". If someone who claims to be a researcher thinks that they are "in charge of the world's oldest people for the entire planet", I have to seriously question whether anything they write can be trusted. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
It seems that the more evidence I present, the more user BHG resorts to negative attacks such as the one above. Pick up a 2007 or 2008 Guinness Book, hardcover. I'm on page 2. Yet the response has been uniformly unfair, negative remarks such as that above. Ryoung122 12:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Your user boxes say 'User:Disavian' underneath, did you copy without renaming? Or do you have two profiles? Just wondering. Ryoung122 12:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, LaMenta. It's my position that the guideline, if "treated with common sense and the occasional exception"-- as stated in the guideline-- would not be biased... The problem comes when editors follow the letter of the rules-- whatever they happen to say this week-- in order to delete articles from a wide diversity of areas, cultures, etc... What can be done? I'm not sure. I'd be happy to give input at a discussion though. Cheers! Dekkappai ( talk) 22:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Please note that an author who has had 7 books published in hardcover by Doubleday (publisher) is de facto notable. May I ask why you felt otherwise? DS ( talk) 06:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I have very little experience in AfD matters, and am asking for your input before nominating an article for deletion, because, quite frankly, I do not want to be seen as someone who capriciously nominates articles which do not meet AfD standards.
If you have time, please take a look at this article. It was created by the person who—as the intro asserts—is the very person who coined the term. Most of the edits are by that person. Most, if not all, of the sources link back to this person. I mean, at best it appears to me to constitute OR, at worst, self-promotion. But maybe I'm seeing it wrong. What do you think?
I selected you and many other editors pretty much completely at random; I picked one day's AfD archives, and clicked on the talk pages of the first two or three dozen editors' talk pages I came across. I hope that in using this selection method, I will get editors who are well-versed in AfD policies, yet who also represent a good cross-section of AfD philosophies. I will monitor your talk page for your response. Thanks. Unschool ( talk) 07:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed on the Hair Care article you mentioned you had copied it to your Sandbox and were working on re-vamping the page. I was wondering how you were coming along with this, or if you had already posted your changes, as your comment was quite a while ago. I have practically no experience doing Wiki edits but I would definitely like to edit the article for structure, accurate content (to the best of my knowledge) and style. The article rambles quite a bit, and seems to devote unnecessary effort to discussing or reminding the reader of definitions and facts (such as hair structure) already in the Hair article. It presents strange statements that to me seem not only uninformed but factually inaccurate (such as that hair looks greasy because you sweat and then don't wash the sweat out).
I don't have an account but I will check back here on your user page to see if you have replied to my message. 69.178.142.131 ( talk) 00:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)L
Hey, I've had to overturn this AfD closure due to the fact that there were many delete votes still. In order for an AfD to close due to withdrawl, there must be no delete/transwiki votes. This is because even though the nominator changes their decision, other people still think it should be deleted, which is basically another AfD. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. Thanks!

A tag has been placed on Image:Isooctanol.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Isooctanol.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
