"Oh, and, by the way, if you think that it's unprofessional to be funny, then I'm sorry, but you just don't have a sense of humor. (Don't deny it. People without senses of humors always deny it. You can't fool me.) And if you work in a company where people will respect you less because your specs are breezy, funny, and enjoyable to read, then go find another company to work for, because life is just too damn short to spend your daylight hours in such a stern and miserable place."
Hello, I'm
WilliamJE. I noticed that you made a comment on the page
Miss Grand Universe Canada that didn't seem very
civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page.
Why are you an administrator? You call people names and don't understand Wikipedia speedy deletion A3 which says - "This applies to articles (other than disambiguation pages, redirects, or soft redirects to Wikimedia sister projects) consisting only of external links, category tags and "See also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, chat-like comments, template tags, and/or images." The article has no content but links. That qualifies as A3. Your conduct is appalling.

Some of the wiki admins like Anup Metha and SpacemanSpiff took personally about Divya Bharti Portal. Divya Bharti Portal is the the most reliable content to Divya bharti and they erased all the link... Wiki is about giving information to too... but they were bombarding to the site. Portal wants to work to develop page of Divya Bharti but the wiki admins should not discredit them. If we work together we can built it up high... if we pull our legs we go no where... it is the waste of precious time. Pls convince them... Last but not the least wiki admin will never be able to built a complete wiki page of Divya Bharti without the portal....

On 14 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Senator George Mitchell Peace Bridge, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

In this case, "production design" and "television shows" should have been sufficient to give you pause, and typing the subject's name into google (which admins are asked to do when presented with an article tagged {{ db-a7}} before deletion can be considered) would have brought up the sources that are now used in the article, not least the entry in the British Film Institute's official records.

Thank you for your work on sorting this page out. It's very hard to find information on the band but here were significant and finding out about them has been made complicated by a more recent band taking the name and being in a similar style.

Those keeping score in the talk page archives (I have mentioned my birthday on-wiki, so don't worry you won't get blocked for outing or anything) will have realised I appear to have turned 42 today. As for those who may speculate via my corpus of GAs and article work that my musical taste ought to suggest I should be about 15-20 years older ... well, pre-1973 vinyl was dirt cheap in the late 80s and early 90s and you could buy lots of great (but unfashionable) music for next to nothing.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, You're Breakin' My Heart), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for your work on sorting this page out. It's very hard to find information on the band but here were significant and finding out about them has been made complicated by a more recent band taking the name and being in a similar style. My aim was to help people looking to research the Swedish band, but obviously me wiki article skills are lacking. I appreciate the work you put in to make my data presentable. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Peter Bardens, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jimmy Smith. 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.

Those keeping score in the talk page archives (I have mentioned my birthday on-wiki, so don't worry you won't get blocked for outing or anything) will have realised I appear to have turned 42 today. As for those who may speculate via my corpus of GAs and article work that my musical taste ought to suggest I should be about 15-20 years older ... well, pre-1973 vinyl was dirt cheap in the late 80s and early 90s and you could buy lots of great (but unfashionable) music for next to nothing.
