Marek69,
Thank you very much for sending me a message regarding the article on Mexico City.
As per a note I previosuly left in the discussion section of such article, I wanted to know how to report users who delete well documented information entered in Wikipedia articles.
In your message you mention that the edit I did to such article appears to be vandalism. I would like to request clarification. Please note that the information I entered has been supported with references, which I invite you to verify. Also, please note that no disrespectful words were used. I read the Wikipedia tutorial to find out what can be entered and I feel strongly I have respected Wikipedia rules.
Would you kindly specify why you think my edit appears to be vandalism?
If after analyzing my edit you arrive to what I consider to be the inevitable conclusion that I simply added information that adds objectivity to what appears to be a printed commercial (you might like to read the comments in the discussion section of the article to find out what other users think of it), would you kindly let me know how to report users that, without valid reason, remove well documented information entered in Wikipedia articles?
Thank you and regards.

Marek69,
I just noticed that I received another message blatantly indicating that I had vandalized the Mexico City article.
I am totally shocked, as the information I entered is backed by references. I realize that a couple of the references are in Spanish. However, a significant number of the references found in this article are in Spanish as well. I would like to request that the references I entered are read and analyzed in their entirety. A thorough analysis of them will reveal that they are valid references: one is a copy of Mexico's Constitution; another one is a link to a decent article associated with Televisa, one of the two major television chains in Mexico.
Once more I would like to request that the discussion section of this article be read to find out that a lot of the information in this article is not supported. This, this right here, is completely unacceptable and puts Wikipedia in utter disrespute.
I look forward to your valuable feedback based on the analysis of the references I entered and the comments in the discussion section of this article.
Thanks again and regards,

Hello Marek69,
I,ve been editing pages in order to take away all mentions of virtual finland in wikipedia pages. Virtualfinland.fi was an old site of The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and that site is called now thisisFINLAND.fi. Some of the now existing links go to the articles which dont exist anymore. I try to find new articles from thisisFINLAND.fi to put to these links.
I actually had one problem, didn't know how to change references -sections. When I put edit, the window is empty, there is no text. Can you help me with that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poulie ( talk • contribs) 07:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm completely new to this and it's nice to be welcomed whilst I'm still trying to get my footing. Maybe you could help me with something that I'm sure is probably very easy and obvious.... My alterations/additions to web pages are almost always going to be in the Arabic language and regarding correcting the spelling of proper place names. I'm a serious bookworm and have all of the sources/references and evidences for my changes handy but don't yet know how to link them in (by putting a number after my entry for example that would take one to the correct reference). Also, changing the spelling as the header on a page and then putting in a re-route for anyone typing in a common misspelling of the name. I'm sure all of this information is here but I have strict time restraints so it's taking a while. Sorry to natter on but thanks again and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Peace! Khaadimone ( talk) 00:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi - I have what may be quite a difficult question : is it legitimate to quote published sources on a topic when the ultimate source of the information in them is himself the contributor / editor ? My problem is that I created a band, relating to which I have given many interviews (several published in/by , e.g. , major newspapers, the BBC) and have written articles, press releases and sleeve notes which are the basis, directly or indirectly for virtually all the information in the public domain (apart from fan comments and blogs, photos and videos etc )relating to the band. I have recently edited the wikipedia page based on these "verifiable " sources, sticking strictly to factual information and avoiding self-promotion. Am I permitted to do this? Would it be better if I asked someone else to author the changes?

Hello. I am contacting you because you are listed as a participant for WikiProject Norway, and the above-mentioned article is sourced by all Norwegian-language references. Moreover, the references do not appear to support notability; they might be mere trivial references to the subject. Since these sources are all offline, and I do not speak or read Norwegian, I'm hoping whether you can assist me in determining whether the article qualifies for speedy deletion. Many thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 12:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey!
I saw that you had changed the image layout after an image had been changed by somebody else at Nobel Prize. I changed the image back since it was badly referenced. I also changed the layout back to how it was before with that picture since I think it looks better, it is much easier to read. Hope you don't mind too much?
Also, check

Whenever I come across an item that I believe I can improve, I try to do so, either grammatically or by adding something of my own knowledge and experience.

Create a file called, for example, settings.xml in a suitable directory and paste the contents in to that. Run up AWB and load the settings. It is that simple.

Hi Marek. I'm coming back to you with a problem. Now, I have discussed this with him, yet little changes have occurred. Since you were so helpful, could you help this dispute too.
User:Brutaldeluxe seems to be, somewhat backlashing against me. An example could be seen in his recent message under the heading "poor quality edits", where he (later apologized) for calling all my edits poor, and having bad faith. Ever since then, I have tried my hardest to collaborate with him. Yet he reverts tons of text in Culture in Rome with absolutely no discussion, similarly does so in the now redirected, once an article, page List of tourist attractions in Rome. He just makes brief comments such as "irrelevance is not good". He has nominated several of my pages (which several admins rejected) for speedy deletion with short comments, and no discussion or notices on my talk page, and when one tries to ask him politely to discuss it on his talk page, he seeminlgy answered something like that added irrelevant nonsense is not good, and that he doesn't need to discuss it. Now, having been on wikipedia for over half a year, I realise very clearly that this is not the sort of attitude that wikipedia wants editors to have. Overall, I'd like to get along with him, but it looks like, despite my attempts, nothing good, if not worse things have happened.
Since you're so good at resolving disputes, could you please help resolve this one. I think if you contacted him, and found ways that we could get along I would appreciate it. Thank you and reply-- Theologiae ( talk) 12:24, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Marek69, I'm officially going to tell you that today (April 17) I will be leaving Wikipedia. It has been a great experience, but I have to move on. Editing has been great fun (with the occasional exception). Yet, since I have been accused of several things, and am a bit worried about making serious mistakes, I feel it is time for me to move on. It will be hard; I have got to know this encyclopedia very well, and have become very fond of it, yet there are some things that slightly worry me. I am a child, and Wikipedia maybe is not the best environment for children (I love the environment, yet it is not suited for me).
I will contact a few editors, make my last edits, and after today I will leave.
But thank you for having made this a joy. I will always remember your help.
I hope the best for you.

Hello Marek, thanks for the welcome. Some days ago I modified some words in this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneto, because some people wrote that Salieri, Albinoni and other artist were italian. They were venetians instead, because the italian state was not born yet. I am Veneto, and everyday I am forced to live in this italian centralist state, that censors our Venetian culture, history and language. Also, many italians living outside the Veneto are censoring our history on wikipedia. They deleted the entry for Venetian National Party (the equivalent of the Scottish National Party) in wiki.it.

Thanks for your welcome, but also for your offer of help.
As far as help is concerned, here's a situation.
I found an article entitled Tie rod where it seemed to me that, in an automobile application, the component would be referred to in the UK as a track rod. I put a proposed amendment on the discussion page. A week later there was no negative response. Actually, there was no response at all. So I put my proposed amendment in the article. The intention was that entering "track rod" as a search term would initiate an index search. When I subsequently entered the search term, focus immediately jumped to Panhard rod. I cannot find any reference in the Panhard rod article to track rod or any reason why the search should immediately go there. I have put that on the Panhard rod discussion page, but what I think I want is how to stop the search term from immediately presenting the Panhard rod article. Please respond on my talk page.

I am new to wikipedia so dont be so harsh. The whole 'argument' was basically centred around how you consider someone as a social democrat and how you use the word. I meant it as a ideology he holds, not his official position in a party. Dont threaten new users with reporting them for vandalism, doesnt make them feel very welcome, lets say.

Marek69,
Thank you very much for sending me a message regarding the article on Mexico City.
As per a note I previosuly left in the discussion section of such article, I wanted to know how to report users who delete well documented information entered in Wikipedia articles.
In your message you mention that the edit I did to such article appears to be vandalism. I would like to request clarification. Please note that the information I entered has been supported with references, which I invite you to verify. Also, please note that no disrespectful words were used. I read the Wikipedia tutorial to find out what can be entered and I feel strongly I have respected Wikipedia rules.
Would you kindly specify why you think my edit appears to be vandalism?
If after analyzing my edit you arrive to what I consider to be the inevitable conclusion that I simply added information that adds objectivity to what appears to be a printed commercial (you might like to read the comments in the discussion section of the article to find out what other users think of it), would you kindly let me know how to report users that, without valid reason, remove well documented information entered in Wikipedia articles?
Thank you and regards.

Marek69,
I just noticed that I received another message blatantly indicating that I had vandalized the Mexico City article.
I am totally shocked, as the information I entered is backed by references. I realize that a couple of the references are in Spanish. However, a significant number of the references found in this article are in Spanish as well. I would like to request that the references I entered are read and analyzed in their entirety. A thorough analysis of them will reveal that they are valid references: one is a copy of Mexico's Constitution; another one is a link to a decent article associated with Televisa, one of the two major television chains in Mexico.
Once more I would like to request that the discussion section of this article be read to find out that a lot of the information in this article is not supported. This, this right here, is completely unacceptable and puts Wikipedia in utter disrespute.
I look forward to your valuable feedback based on the analysis of the references I entered and the comments in the discussion section of this article.
Thanks again and regards,

I,ve been editing pages in order to take away all mentions of virtual finland in wikipedia pages. Virtualfinland.fi was an old site of The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and that site is called now thisisFINLAND.fi. Some of the now existing links go to the articles which dont exist anymore. I try to find new articles from thisisFINLAND.fi to put to these links.

I'm completely new to this and it's nice to be welcomed whilst I'm still trying to get my footing. Maybe you could help me with something that I'm sure is probably very easy and obvious.... My alterations/additions to web pages are almost always going to be in the Arabic language and regarding correcting the spelling of proper place names. I'm a serious bookworm and have all of the sources/references and evidences for my changes handy but don't yet know how to link them in (by putting a number after my entry for example that would take one to the correct reference). Also, changing the spelling as the header on a page and then putting in a re-route for anyone typing in a common misspelling of the name. I'm sure all of this information is here but I have strict time restraints so it's taking a while. Sorry to natter on but thanks again and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - I have what may be quite a difficult question : is it legitimate to quote published sources on a topic when the ultimate source of the information in them is himself the contributor / editor ? My problem is that I created a band, relating to which I have given many interviews (several published in/by , e.g. , major newspapers, the BBC) and have written articles, press releases and sleeve notes which are the basis, directly or indirectly for virtually all the information in the public domain (apart from fan comments and blogs, photos and videos etc )relating to the band. I have recently edited the wikipedia page based on these "verifiable " sources, sticking strictly to factual information and avoiding self-promotion. Am I permitted to do this? Would it be better if I asked someone else to author the changes?

I saw that you had changed the image layout after an image had been changed by somebody else at Nobel Prize. I changed the image back since it was badly referenced.

Hi Marek. I'm coming back to you with a problem. Now, I have discussed this with him, yet little changes have occurred. Since you were so helpful, could you help this dispute too.
User:Brutaldeluxe seems to be, somewhat backlashing against me. An example could be seen in his recent message under the heading "poor quality edits", where he (later apologized) for calling all my edits poor, and having bad faith. Ever since then, I have tried my hardest to collaborate with him. Yet he reverts tons of text in Culture in Rome with absolutely no discussion, similarly does so in the now redirected, once an article, page List of tourist attractions in Rome. He just makes brief comments such as "irrelevance is not good". He has nominated several of my pages (which several admins rejected) for speedy deletion with short comments, and no discussion or notices on my talk page, and when one tries to ask him politely to discuss it on his talk page, he seeminlgy answered something like that added irrelevant nonsense is not good, and that he doesn't need to discuss it. Now, having been on wikipedia for over half a year, I realise very clearly that this is not the sort of attitude that wikipedia wants editors to have. Overall, I'd like to get along with him, but it looks like, despite my attempts, nothing good, if not worse things have happened.
Since you're so good at resolving disputes, could you please help resolve this one. I think if you contacted him, and found ways that we could get along I would appreciate it. Thank you and reply-- Theologiae ( talk) 12:24, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Marek69, I'm officially going to tell you that today (April 17) I will be leaving Wikipedia. It has been a great experience, but I have to move on. Editing has been great fun (with the occasional exception). Yet, since I have been accused of several things, and am a bit worried about making serious mistakes, I feel it is time for me to move on. It will be hard; I have got to know this encyclopedia very well, and have become very fond of it, yet there are some things that slightly worry me. I am a child, and Wikipedia maybe is not the best environment for children (I love the environment, yet it is not suited for me).
I will contact a few editors, make my last edits, and after today I will leave.
But thank you for having made this a joy. I will always remember your help.
I hope the best for you.

Hello Marek, thanks for the welcome. Some days ago I modified some words in this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneto, because some people wrote that Salieri, Albinoni and other artist were italian. They were venetians instead, because the italian state was not born yet. I am Veneto, and everyday I am forced to live in this italian centralist state, that censors our Venetian culture, history and language. Also, many italians living outside the Veneto are censoring our history on wikipedia. They deleted the entry for Venetian National Party (the equivalent of the Scottish National Party) in wiki.it.

I'm quite new to editing but ive been using the site for some time. I can only do much because im no web programmer, I only learn from visiting other pages and copying the 'commands'. Im taking one step at a time. Thank you for taking time on welcoming me to the community.--19superman86 21:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the greeting and welcome too! I am very happy to be on Wikipedia, just that my English is very bad. Try to improve a little more. I send a greeting and I will also consult on some issues on Wikipedia. Mil Gracias!
Muchísimas gracias por el saludo y la bienvenida también! Estoy muy contento de estar en Wikipedia, solo que mi inglés es muy malo. Trataré de mejorar un poco más. Te envío un saludo también y te haré consultas sobre algunos temas en Wikipedia. Mil Gracias!

Good work on the recent editting of the Lourdes page. RoyalBlueStuey ( talk) 11:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello Mark (assuming you're a real person) I recently added to the page on Buffalo, NY as well as the jazz fusion page on the band The Reign of Kindo. They are a note worthy band from Buffalo as well as contributors to a new style of jazz fusion. I will not lie in saying that I'm not a fan, but I think my addition to the pages was balanced and accurate. You can visit The Reign of Kindo on their web site, myspace, as well as their youtube videos to see that they are worthy of mention. If by chance I did not follow proper procedures, please let me know. Thank you Stevette ( talk) 16:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
really nice of you. i dont think i'll write here (only small corrections). יניבפור ( talk) 23:12, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your welcome, but also for your offer of help.
As far as help is concerned, here's a situation.
I found an article entitled Tie rod where it seemed to me that, in an automobile application, the component would be referred to in the UK as a track rod. I put a proposed amendment on the discussion page. A week later there was no negative response. Actually, there was no response at all. So I put my proposed amendment in the article. The intention was that entering "track rod" as a search term would initiate an index search. When I subsequently entered the search term, focus immediately jumped to Panhard rod. I cannot find any reference in the Panhard rod article to track rod or any reason why the search should immediately go there. I have put that on the Panhard rod discussion page, but what I think I want is how to stop the search term from immediately presenting the Panhard rod article. Please respond on my talk page.

I am new to wikipedia so dont be so harsh. The whole 'argument' was basically centred around how you consider someone as a social democrat and how you use the word. I meant it as a ideology he holds, not his official position in a party. Dont threaten new users with reporting them for vandalism, doesnt make them feel very welcome, lets say.

Hi Marek- I commented out 1 sentence in an article. Now the remaining text is surrounded by a dotted-line box and the whole paragraph is not wrapping. Could you advise me what to do please?
See the second paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George#The_Single_Tax_on_Land
