In a recent edit to the page Golf, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Nja247 ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Golf club (equipment), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. - Fastily (talk) 06:21, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eaglebreath ( talk) 19:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to contact you on a personal level to urge you to consider strengthening the credibility of the Golf article by citing your sources. I was reading it over again today, and the section your edited on the golf swing stands out in my mind. As I'm sure we both know, when it comes to playing golf, there's more than one way to skin a cat, (see Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones) to appreciate the variety of golf swings that work effectively) however; the golf swing section as it reads now sounds like there is only one true way to hit a golf ball. What you've added to the article has merit, but please inform the unfamiliar reader that a variety of golf swings have proved effective, be careful not to turn Wikipedia into an instructional guide, and cite your source material. Happy editing, Eaglebreath ( talk) 06:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Golf. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Ultra Lob wedge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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
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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi
I see you have requested Golf to be reassessed from its B-class rating. I think it still is at B-class in my opinion, but the only way to get it assessed any higher is to nominate it for a good-article, at WP:GAC. I honestly don't think it is ready for that though. And while I am here I have been meaning to let you know that deleting stuff off talk pages is not the way to go, even if it is old and redundant :). Keep up the good work! Grover mj 01:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I have merged Ultra lob wedge into Lob wedge as there is no requirement for a separate article, and it is one type of lob wedge. I have also reverted your move of Hybrid (golf) since this is a more appropriate term as they are also referred to hybrid woods, but most often simply as hybrids.

Re this edit, which you did twice. Blanking articles is something which only newbies do. If you think an article should be deleted, you use an appropriate {{db…}} tag. But in the case of golf hook, a redirect was more appropriate. — RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 16:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I'd love to add more pics to the golf pages, and am working on it. I don't have too many hybrids, and only a few real muscle backs, but I'll try to get some pics done this week. Let me know if there's any other clubs you're interested in. ReignMan ( talk) 19:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on M1135 NBC Reconnaissance Vehicle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Muscle-back iron a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. wjemather bigissue 18:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you working to a plan, because it is very hard see what your end goal is and follow what you doing. It would appear that you keep changing your mind, and many of the equipment articles are now very messy.
I'm not entirely sure of the titles for some articles either, e.g. Types of irons to me this would be 1, 2, ..., PW, SW, etc. not different designs of irons, which is what the article is.
Perhaps it would have been better to start a discussion before all the mass editing, article creation, splitting, merging and redirecting.
I also note that you consider Stroke mechanics (golf) to be some of your finest work, despite it having no lead section and zero references. Please remember that verifiablity is essential, and as such reliable sources much be cited. Regards. wjemather bigissue 22:31, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Please discuss before making major merges like you did with golf wedges. I STRONGLY disagree with this action and am reverting some of it. Please engage on discussion on the talk page of the article and if you think a merge is necessary, please feel free to use templates to let people know so that they can discuss, get involved and reach a consensus.

I just wanted to apologize for being bitey in my above comments. I can be a little rough some times just because I have been here for a while and the things I see as common sense may not be so obvious to others. I hope I did not scare you away. I would love to work together with you on golf articles (especially on your ability to add citations). I like the content you added but you really need to work on the citations. Thanks again for your hard work, it is appreciated. For your hard work here is a barnstar!

An article that you have been involved in editing, Types of irons, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Types of irons. Thank you.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.
Despite the ammount of work you have clearly done trying to organise and improve various golf equipment articles, I do not believe that there is sufficient content here to warrant breaking up the Iron (golf) article. As mentioned previously, it would probably be best for you to start discussions at WP:GOLF before making such drastic changes to the flow of articles, especially since you seem to be going backwards and forwards quite a lot yourself.

I enjoyed seeing your attempt to change your username to ~~~~ but as you can see it is not allowed. I suspect it's been disabled at the software level, because it would cause all sorts of problems. Note, for example, that nobody would be able to link to your userpage or talkpage, not even yourself. (Try making a link to [[User:~~~~]] if you're skeptical; not even <nowiki> will help.) Note, though, that usernames such as ~~0~~ are in fact allowed. You could technically give yourself a name like ~~~~, which has a zero width space in the middle, but my guess is that even though it's technically possible it would be disallowed because the everyday user will not have a zero width space on their keyboard, and it would cause no end of chaos for people who don't see the space and assume that your name is ~~~~.
Also, another note: I believe that WP:CHU uses a bot and that your new request to change your name to Username may not be recognized by the software even though the human editors can see it. I've seen them decline requests for being improperly formatted even though it's clear what the user wants to do, suggesting that the software can't parse the request. So you might want to make a new request from scratch. -- Soap Talk/ Contributions 19:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:FN SCARS.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bipod (weapon), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Bipod.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for your recent cleanup and re-organization of tripod (photography) and related articles. In cleaning up that article, you removed all of the interlanguage links, which I have since restored. On Wikipedia it is usual, in fact very much encouraged, to include links to equivalent articles in other languages in this fashion. So I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the their purpose and rightful place. Thanks again for the cleanup! Moxfyre ( ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 02:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi! An IP contested the M2 Mortar move you listed at WP:RM, so I've started a move discussion on the talk page. I also informed the Weaponry task force of WikiProject Military history about the discussion. By the way, could you remove the transclusions of user:user name one/Capitolization from the various talk pages it's included on? Firstly, it's no longer relevant since there's now a place to discuss the issue on the M2 Mortar talk page, and secondly, it's very confusing for editors to transclude such a long discussion onto various talk pages instead of just pasting a link there. Regards, Jafeluv ( talk) 13:39, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I see you have restored Vehicles of the United States Air Force from a redirect it still copies the same information at List of active United States military aircraft so your change should be reverted. I have two suggestions that either you add the aircraft images List of active United States military aircraft then they would be the same so you can remove the aircraft list at Vehicles of the United States Air Force or you make the lists different. Can I suggest you make the aircraft list similar to what you have done but remove the version and quantity. It may be easier just to add the images to the other list but I hope you appreciate I am just trying to stop duplicated information (also note it make page maintenance harder as most editors would only edit/update one article so they end up with different details).

Thanks for keeping an eye on the M113 article--there's been a lot of... spirited debate about its nicknames. I noticed that the article linked to a PDF by a guy who has been banned from wikipedia (and other sites) many times for vandalism on this and other subjects. Google Mike Sparks or "combatreform"--it's like time cube, but with flying tanks. The pdf seems to have been written before he went totally insane, and it doesn't seem to be self-published like the rest of his stuff, so I guess we should keep it.

Hi, on may 10, 2009 you changed the word least to most in the sentence The winner was whoever hit the ball the least number of times into a target several hundreds of meters away. Why did you do that? Jan Arkesteijn ( talk) 14:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Bear with me. I figured out what happened. There are two totally different ways of interpreting this sentence: the way I perceived it was that the game was basically a driving contest and the players would get a couple dozen golf balls and try to get more balls than their opponent into a target. the way you interpreted it ( and the way it was meant to be interpreted) was that the game was more like golf in which the players tried to get the ball to the target in the least number of strokes. username 1 ( talk) 15:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{ cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, or use {{ PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. Note, if you did create this file, you may want to upload it to Wikimedia Commons, which will allow the image to be accessed by all Wikimedia Foundation projects (which include the various localized versions of Wikipedia)
If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

Infoboxes traditionally go at the top. Templates go wherever they will least disrupt the format of the article, which is quite commonly along the right side and further down the page. Kafziel Complaint Department 21:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
In a recent edit to the page The Who, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Wiki libs ( talk) 17:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Austintexasplanecrash.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rockfang ( talk) 07:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Austintexasplanecrash.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

A tag has been placed on The Wornick Company 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 an organization or company, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedydeletion, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi, Marcus. Thanks for all your help so far. Must we have a caption? Image is self-explanatory. And if we do, can it just say "Book Cover: The Sacred Band" or should it say "Image courtesy of Paradise Publishing?" And if we require a caption, how and where do I insert it, oe must I upload the whole image again?

Below is the email, verbatim, sent by Orangemike to Harmonia1 tonight (4/8/10). Orangemike's email demonstrates such a lack of Wikipedian NPOV that one must conclude that this project should be given to a Wikipedian less personally involved with the history of Tempus, Thieves' World and the Sacred Band, TSR, and Dragon Magazine.
Here is Orangemike's email in full, for the record, which clearly shows conflict of interest, stating that Orangemike was in a fiduciary relationship with Dragon Mag related to writing at least one review of the characters in this series and still harbors a clearly-expressed and historic hostility toward one of the series' protagonists:
"I go way back with "Thieve's World"; even sold a gleefully favorable review of one volume to DRAGON Magazine back in the day. On the other hand: my review of the book, specifically my clearly-expressed opinion of Tempus, led Janet to call for a boycott of DRAGON and all TSR products (a call which fell on deaf ears; I wasn't the only one to despise the sister-raping bastard).
The problem with the article is that Wikipedia is supposed to be for the general reader, and must adhere to solid rules about sourcing, notability, verifiability, etc. Fancruft that is only of interest to the fanbase of a series (indeed almost exclusively comprehensible to them) has no place there; if the topic is not documentably notable in the rest of the world, it is not for Wikipedia. (No reason somebody couldn't create a SanctuaryWiki.)"
Harmonia1 responds:
Notability: The presence in Wikipedia of articles on Thieves World and other series like it shows that a neutral editorship has found them adequately notable; this series differs most in that it has a solid historical underpinning and grapples with a topic of perennial interest to general readers: sexuality in the military. This historical connectivity is either not understood or ignored by Orangemike, who is from this fan and gaming community he describes.
Sourcing: This Wikipedia article, The Sacred Band of Stepsons, correctly cites classical sources. It must. All the books have a strong classical underpinning. This is especially true of the latest volume, which incorporates historical characters from the Sacred Band of Thebes and the philosophy and behaviors of those characters, the earliest known homosexual war-band in Ancient Greece, and so requires the identification of classical sources, speaking as it does directly to an academic controversy centering on the missing forty-six skeletons from what was believed by some scholars to be a mass grave where all 300 were said to be buried, and to the perennial political and social controversy of homosexuals and bisexuals in militaries. Harmonia1 ( talk) 04:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Marcus, it is probably more important than will be immediately apparent to decide if you want to title this article with the compound (nonlethal) or hyphenated (non-lethal) version of the term, or call it "Nonlethality," which includes weapons, capabilities, policy and strategy. As I said, the name game continues but the most established terms are nonlethal, nono-lethal and nonlethality. Some questions on this site were about what weapons might be coming down the pike. "Nonlethality: a Global Strategy," breaks down weapons and capabilities into technology areas and operational areas; the Nonlethal Taxonomy (at JNLWD; I think I can get a version of that) gets very specific. It may be useful to provide a suite of potentials rather than simply current items in the arsenal. Harmonia1 ( talk) 00:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I see the hyphenated form as being the most common on Google searches:Non-lethal:7,250,000, Nonlethal:1,570,000, Less-lethal: 6,710,000, Lesslethal: 416,000. However, non-lethal on wiktionary redirects to nonlethal. Wictionary also doesn't have an entry for less lethal but sublethal does. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ( talk) 19:56, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Call it "Non-lethal" or "Nonlethal." I prefer "Nonlethal" since it is more literate and means the same as "Non-lethal." If a less lethal or LTL capability, such as an improved rubber bullet or sting-ball grenade, us purchased or to be purchased for military use, then include it. The military police folks will be glad to help if you have a question about police use of crowd-control munitions and capabilities. I left you some discussion on my talk page for this topic. "Nonlethal" will turn out to be the proper usage as time goes on; people have differing levels of education. The Council on Foreign Relations chose "Nonlethal" and if there is an NPOV defense policy activity of high intellectual quality, they are it. That said, one must use information categorized with "Non-lethal" as well, and probably things and activities being developed under other rubrics, as people try to file the serial numbers off the NL activities and claim primacy. For your purposes, I would just say at the top that the "Nonlethal Weapons" or "Nonlethal Capabilities" article you are doing may include at times various items and activities categorized by many different names during formative stages, including "Non-Lethal," "Nonlethal," and others, and that your criteria are whether the research and developemtn effort comes to fruition under direction of the Department of Defense or Defense Department and Armed Services Aquisition activities were involved in their fielding with U.S. armed services. (I am aware of so many variants: "less than lethal, less lethal" (police), nonthreatening force (Darpa); soft kill(National Labs); "scalable force" (Army), etc. Rand has just put out a study trying to rename it yet again; went to their launch conference but can't remember what they wanted to call it: have heard so many silly names. Characterizing the r&d, technology, acquistion and weaponization efforts in terms of their intended end-user or use will keep your article focused and prevent concept drift, one would think.
For citations and overviews, you might start with the DoD Directive I provided, plus the CFR reports I provided, plus "An Assessment of Non-lethal Weapons Science and Technology," National Research Council of the National Academies, National Academies Press, 2003 -- even if it is paid for by the Navy and a bit naval in its outlook. That citation ought to convince even an Orangemike. Certainly Joint Non-lethal Weapons Directorate at Quantico will have some unclassified mission statement.

Marcus, is it appropriate to work on Non-lethal page or wait until they decide whether to split it onto a non-lethal and a less-lethal page? NL page needs to be reorganized and rewritten if that is the title, since the focus then is broader and more encompassing. Several of us want to work on it, but don't want to do any edits that might be considered destructive if the pages are going to be split: less-lethal people might want to keep some language as it is.

Am I supposed to be responding here? Or on my page? I think that since langue compoudns over time, wiktionary is correct in choosing the compound form, but we need to accept all things labeled "non-lethal" and wll have to take items and capabilities on a case-by-case basis, with filters for what the end use is and how the money has flowed: developed for military or police use needs to be the first sorting mechanism. We were involved with the folks who put together the first NL kits; there we had no option but to use police-derived capabilities. Start with the non-lethal; add the nonlethal, which is usually the intellectual or better-educated, higher-end user. Tules of engagement will help. More on my page.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Phantom_ray_rollout.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Christ man, I can't even finish an article without some person trying to claim some irrelevancy.

However for Portland, Oregon, this is HUGE news, especially 16:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC) among the pro-police society and the anti-police/Vegan/Anarchist societies in Portland, Oregon who are threatened by the latest round of shootings by the Portland PD. Let me get the article put together for god's sake. The event in and of itself has gotten national coverage in CNN and FOX News and is very representative of the resentment felt by a large segment of Portlanders towards our corrupt and gun happy police department. Despite my feeling on the matter personally, I am citing all sides of the event not for the promotion of the business but rather to reflect the attitudes of Portland business owners towards the local law enforcement agency.

Hi Marcus,
I posted an article about a company that I work for. And we were promptly deleted within minutes of the posting. I would like to get some advice on this, because I feel that this action is knee-jerk and unfair. Here's why.
There are plenty of wikipedia articles that give overviews of different businesses. Sure, they tend to be established businesses and we're a young start up. It's hard for me to avoid getting the feeling that the implication here is that these companies deserve to be written about, and ours doesn't because we're too small. That doesn't seem like a solid rationale to me and not in keeping with Wikipedia. I completely understand why you have to exert quality control for wikipedia entries, but I don't believe that a company writing about itself necessarily amounts to obtrusive advertising.
What if someone hears about us and wants to know more about us? Isn't that the point of Wikipedia ?
I understand the need to have a variety of sources, but don't you think I should be a valid informational source as I know alot about the company that I work for ? I used no "peacock language" in the article, and there was no sales-pitch terminology. Yet, the article (titled BeyondLive) was deleted by the user "Evil Saltine." According to Wikipedia, the articles should be allowed to evolve and become more substantiated by different sources. Ours basically got ripped away from us before we had a chance to do any of that.
I'd like to reinstate the article under whatever guidance you can give.
Thank You,
Dan Cauthorn

Ok, I am going nuts here. I don't see a single place anywhere on your user anything that is basically a "message" link/button. I guess you can remove this if it doesn't belong here but I don't see how I'm supposed to contact you.
I'm a new user. I recently created the cottonwood borer article and you marked it for deletion. I received a message telling me I could remove the prod, but am completely lost as to how to do that. In fact, I think it has been removed already? Anyway, please don't delete the article. It is an important insect and yada yada. Can you show me how to remove this 'prod' tag or help me out or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razarax ( talk • contribs) 17:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

You noted that it did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and you undid it. Does this conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy?

I do understand the impulse that prompted you to tag this article for deletion; I completely agree that it should not remain, because recipes are specifically covered under WP:NOTGUIDE. Unfortunately I could not agree that the topic met any criterion for speedy deletion. I have therefore removed the speedy tag and its associated hangon tag and replaced it with a PROD tag; should the PROD tag be removed, I have watchlisted the article and will take it to AfD. My apologies for substituting my judgment for yours; if you have any questions or problems, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste: talk 15:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you've now twice added the {{close paraphrase}} tag to this article, without taking this to the article Talk page as you are supposed to do.

Hi, Marcus.
Thank you for your assistance moving my page C.A.Walker Research Solutions. I have questions:
1) I read this stuff about Closing Instructions and frankly, it's confusing. Do I need to add this to my discussions page? "This article has been renamed per the above move request"
2) When I was building the page in my sandbox, I tried to upload the company logo CAWLogo.jpg and it was deleted by a bot. Now that the page is moved can I re-upload it, or ask the bot to put it back, or what? I'm pretty confused how to handle adding a logo with permission by the company owner.
3) Now that the page is moved I can delete it from my sandbox right?

I'm not sure where you think you got the authority to issue an ultimatum to User:Jansport87 about their username. Usually if a name is not so blatantly outside of policy as to warrant an immediate block we move the report to the holding pen where it can sit for up to a week, substantially longer than the 36 hour deadline you decreed. In this case I don't even think the name is blockable at all and have advised Jansport87 to ignore both your deadline and your request that they change their name. If the name isn't causing an actual problemthen nothing is solved by blocking the user, and the potential of losing a good contributor over a non-issue like this far outweighs the risks of letting them edit with this username as they have been doing without trouble for several months now.

Mr. Qwertyus,
You are correct that Quintesocial is currently only available in the Portland and Denver markets, however Quintesocial's expansion will soon encompass Charlotte, NC and other territories as well. This is an emerging social networking site that I feel warrants a Wikipedia page for the sheer fact that it has already helped thousands in both those regions and will soon help many more on a more national scale in the months to come. Looking forward to your feedback on this.

Hi Marcus,
Just wondering why you think that my story about purchasing the towel that covered up Janet Jackson in the Superbowl is a hoax/untrue? I was hired as a production assistant in Dec. of 2003, and worked for a month on location at Reliant Stadium...
The day of the event I was stationed on the first floor of the stadium watching the game, and I was radioed by my production coordinator. There was a request for us to take the "P" card (purchasing credit card) and buy a official Superbowl towel for the show. We had no idea why (since we had purchased 400 towels already that week) but we did it anyway and handed it over to the staff. The next time we saw the towel it was on stage covering her up. It was obvious that it was purchased for that reason because she was handed that towel specifically, even though there were many normal towels under the stage (which we were using to dry off the stage because it was raining outside. I saw this from the 50 yard line, and not sure if the towel-handing part of the show was aired nationally.
Here are a couple pics of me from the gig: http://twitpic.com/1z4di8 http://twitpic.com/1z4d9x
I have altered the entry because I didn't want to have that be the reason that my page was taken down, but it happened. I can provide more evidence and references if needed for any other source. I did not start this page, but seeing how it concerns me I have made edits to try and make it as accurate as possible. I'm not sure what the multiple "problems" are with this article, but you seem to be an expert on wiki so if there is anyway you could help me fix this article, it would be much appreciated.

I have read your report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism on 70.132.203.143. It seems that there is now a range block on this. However, if there hadn't been then I would not have known what range to block. For future reference it helps in such cases to indicate other IPs that are involved, so that a suitable range can be calculated. JamesBWatson ( talk) 18:55, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Range block obviously not working. List forthcoming. Marcus Qwertyus ( signs his posts) 19:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I have received your more complete list. Unfortunately the range is so wide that a single block across them all would catch over 200 million IP addresses, which would be unacceptable. I will look into the possibility of a number of smaller range blocks, but it may not be possible. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
The IPs at present split into three smaller ranges plus 4 individual IPs which are on their own. it would be possible to block them in separate subranges, which would catch six thousand and odd IPs. This would still be too many to accept in the long term, but it might be acceptable for short-term blocks. Unfortunately we would almost certainly find there were new IPs coming up in the gaps between those ranges, so we would have more to block. It may be worth trying to contact an admin who has more experience of this kind of problem than I have, but I'm afraid I think it is likely to be a question of continually blocking piecemeal for short times as new IPs crop up, and hope the vandal gets bored and gives up or (less likely) gets a life. Keep telling me of new instances, though, and for the moment I will do what I can. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I think on the whole that the best thing to do is just to keep blocking them as they come, and
not feed the troll. If you like I will semi-protect your talk page, but I don't recommend that as it would prevent access by other new and unregistered users.

If an article has no categories on it at all, could you please use the {{ uncat}} template instead of the {{ catimprove}} one? The latter is for articles that already have some categories on them but need additional ones (e.g. if an article is filed in Category:Living people but doesn't have a nationality or occupational category on it); the former template is meant for articles that have no categories on them at all. Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 04:11, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Marcus, Thanks for the welcome. I have been using wp for years (who has not?), so I thought that it was time I made an effort to pay back a little. Also I am bumming around Thailand now, so this would be a good place to start.
A question, do you think it is beneficial to add the latlong of a tourism or site of interest in a Thai provincial or city page? My thinking is that as more people acquire a gps/smart phone, gps spots will become increasingly relied upon for navigation. Also, I dabble in waymarking, so I have acquired more than a few gps spots in Thailand. —Preceding unsignedcomment added by Ian@perth ( talk • contribs) 17:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Marcus, I was just looking at the World War 2 German submachine guns when I looked at the French guns I saw the submachine guns, I was guessing the French soldiers stole the fallen German soldiers guns. The submachine gun Erma EMP-35 was not listed on the german submachine guns list. I was asking permission to see if I could correct that if neccesary. commanderneyo77 ( talk) 22:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I apologise for my use of that 2001 map, I was new to uploading images and didn't look into it's source well enough. I have now replaced it with a map which was created by a friend of mine who also created maps for most general elections dating back to the 1830's. I hope that this saves any of the maps I have uploaded from deletion as no other maps from before 2001 seem to exist on the internet and I've received a number of e-mails and messages thanking me for uploading them. Any further advice on how to resolve this matter would be appreciated.MWhite 13:16, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
I did the four tildes to sign my post, but it's saying unsigned. Just so you don't think I'm being rude or anything.
Thanks for uploading File:ArmedScout-3.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 02:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

"Relased" does not mean the company has relinquished its rights to the image, but that it's allowed the US Navy to use the image. These inages are not public domain. See File:USS America (LHA-6) - 050718-O-0000X-001.jpg for how a similar issue was handled. I'm still trying to find the original discussion page about that image, which explains the issue in better detail. If you've added any other images to Commons that were "released", you should proably see about having them removed. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 23:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Marcus,
One of your recent edits here seems to have 'broken' a ref and left a 'Cite error': "<ref name=KC1 />" see
Diff (and look at the bottom of the page). Most of the refs are defined in the references section, not among the text as is more common. I fixed it by 'commenting out' the reference, which apparently gave an error as it was no longer being used. Just FYI.-

Since when is Wikipedia a conduit for lies and libel?
To state that only "one person" calls the M113 the Gavin when its obvious that thousands of people do is pure sour grapes--and deliberate LYING. When he edits a book and there are several others as co-authors who call the M113 the Gavin, you are not in any position to continue to LIE and say ONLY ONE PERSON calls the M113 the Gavin. If Mike has "followers" as you admit below---then you need to stop LYING that only one person is doing something. And if you google "m113 gavin" you will find THOUSANDS of web sites and pages that have nothing to do with Mike Sparks or any news organization so that is yet another lie.
Moreover, when the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army General Casey says he wants a GCV-Light of under 20 tons who are you "Marcus Qwertyus" to play god and delete his remarks?
HE IS THE CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE U.S. ARMY, that's REALITY, bud.
This is yet more proof why Wiki is not deserving of any of our donations because jerks think they can monopolize the pages and be accountable to no one and no amount of FACTS.
Marcus Qwertyus and anyone who acts like him as a conduit for lies and a censor of the truth are the ones VANDALIZING Wiki.

in your recent edit at Talk:Mark I tank you removed/edited another user's comments. While I appreciate the sentiment behind the edit, it is still not the correct thing to do. The correct approach is to ask that the contributor either defend their comments which you consider to be contrary to assuming good faith and no personal attacks or apologise and retract them. It may be that the user spoke in haste and the heat of the moment and should be given the opportunity to respond. I will advise User:Andy Dingley that I have mentioned this to you.

Hello. I appreciate the Bold! direction you were going when you sent {{ uw-mos3}} and {{ uw-mos4}} to TfD. However, the uw-mos3 nomination was flawed as step #1 "tag the template" was not completed. As per the DRV process, I contacted the deleting admin and asked him to review his deletion on the grounds that this was a stealth nomination. He agreed and invited me to restore the template as he was unable to utilize his admin tools at the time.
Speaking as an editor, I have used {{ uw-mos1}}, {{ uw-mos2}}, and {{ uw-mos3}} when working with new editors who were not familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines ( for obvious reasons this series of templates was designed with new editors in mind). Speaking as an admin, I can also tell you that I have blocked editors for disruptive editing because they ignored warnings in the uw-mos series. However if you still feel strongly about the usefulness (or lack thereof) of these templates, I would encourage you to seek consensus first on the talk page and/or working with WikiProject user warnings. Regards, — Kralizec!( talk) 01:35, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I declined your speedy-rename request because I found another meaning for the term (that makes it a 3-way dab, so can't be handled with a hat-note in the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC article).

WP NOT shouldn't be reworded on the basis of one particular situation without very general agreement. I support your view on the article, but I have reverted your change to the policy. I shall propose a change there, and it must be discussed there, and will probably require a general discussion, which is apt to be very protracted. DGG ( talk ) 15:08, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there!
Concerning the move made to Fahd (vehicle), the previous name of the article was based on the name of the M113 armored personnel carrier article, albeit with brackets. Are you sure that counts as over-precision? I find vehicle to be somewhat vague.-- Sherif9282 ( talk) 14:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
You added a CSD to Quick Kill, which I thought was because you were converting from a dab to a hatnote. In any event, the result was a redirect to itself.

Regarding your edit to PlayStation (i.e. the splitting of PS One into it's own section) the PS one is a redesigned PlayStation, similar to the redesigns fo the PS2, PSP and PS3 that followed.

Thanks for uploading File:Ripsaw logo.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi im new to Wikipedia as you probably know, could you fix up the page i created about a mole who 'compomised' australian intelligence. George Sadil Its my second day and its way too confusing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Sadil
Just wanted to follow up the note you left here. You were quite right to point out that tsunami in the singular is better, but the question of terminology has always been a vexed one. I would phrase it as the article does, a 'tsunami wave train', but that would raise other objections as well. I do, though, object to the periodically repeating surges or run-ups being referred to as 'waves'. Most people's experiences of waves is of surface waves, and tsunami 'waves' are much more than that (the displaced water column is from the sea floor up to the surface, rather than just at the surface). I'm sure you know all this already, but I'm just trying to unpack it here for my benefit as well. One older term used in the article is 'seismic sea wave', which isn't bad, actually. The deprecated term 'tidal wave' makes more sense than it seems, because the surge of a tsunami (effectively a violent local rise in sea level) is similar to that seen in a tidal bore, or a high tide, or a storm surge (see also meteotsunami). Finally, the use of the plural. Though they all originate from a single source, the wave trains can be referred to separately as they impact different areas, so it is actually not that uncommon to refer to them in the plural as tsunamis - for example, look for use of the phrase "Tsunamis Predicted for Pacific Basin" following the earthquake. As I said earlier, I'm sure you know all this, and please don't think I'm objecting to the change to singular (as I said, you were correct to suggest that). I'm just trying, in a long-winded way, to explain why I used the plural form. Carcharoth ( talk) 07:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

You made an with the summary "because it was notable". I'd just like to point out a few things about Notability. One, it dictates what subjects deserve a separate article, not whether information can be included in an existing article. Second, notability requires that material comply with other Wikipedia policies, including WP:CRYSTAL, WP:VERIFY, and WP:WEASEL ("analysts say..."). Thirdly, please note that "significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article." ( WP:GNG, final bullet) Such consensus, in our case, has not formed yet but may form in the future, and must be built on arguments relating to this specific case and not on the notability guideline, because both possibilities are acceptable under it. Please understand Wikipedia policies and guidelines before you quote them in situations where they do not apply. Thank you, HereToHelp ( talk to me) 00:28, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Quirky screenshot.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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.

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 Doodle.com 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 web content, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Dr. Conditt's birthday is incorrect. Her birthday is August 7, 1953. She has also requested both universities be listed, Univ. of Alabama and Univ, of Colo. I am also in the process of writing more information for the page. I am her daughter and I have been working with her on this. I can put you in contact with her if you would like. Please don't change the information again, especially if it is incorrect! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.79.210 ( talk) 12:44, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Conditt received her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Subsequently, she worked in various aspects through Proctor and Gamble, before retiring in 2006. In terms of public service, Conditt was elected as a Liberty Township Trustee in 1998 and served in that capacity until 2001.
Conditt practices Catholicism and serves on the Catholic Social Services board in both Butler County and Warren County. She is also a campus minister at the Northern Kentucky University.
When Senator Gary Cates, a long serving legislator who once held the 55th District, resigned from the Ohio Senate, Representative Bill Coley sought to replace him. He ultimately attained the seat, and went on the resign from the Ohio House of Representatives soon before. As a result, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder was required to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the 129th Ohio General Assembly. Conditt was among thirteen other Republicans who opted for the seat.
Ultimately, it was announced that Conditt would indeed succeed Coley in the House. Conditt was sworn into office on June 8, 2011. She will have to run for a full term in the fall of 2012. [1]
Thank you. I do not know who made the original entry. We only made the changes to her birthdate and college information. I will check for copyright infringement, but I will be writing the information along with Dr. Conditt. Ehritzaa ( talk) 19:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Marcus. This is to inform you that I have reversed the move you made, without any consultation, of Electric vehicle warning sounds. First, this is a Good Article, which means it has been formally reviewed and the name checked. Second, if you read the content you will realize that the new warning sounds (yes several) are quite different from a conventional horn. Last, considering this is a GA rated article, I think you should have opened a discussion to rename it rather than doing a bold move. Since I reversed the move, feel free to open a discussion in the corresponding talk to rename the article. Thanks.-- Mariordo ( talk) 01:10, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Marcus. This is to inform you that the articles that you have been diverting from what is called a sockpuppet are often good edits, despite the worry of plagiarism or infringement. Specifically, the edits made to Karen Gillmor, Margaret Ruhl, and others. Specifically to those two articles, I recommend keeping them as previously updated. As you may or may not know, Gillmor will be leaving shortly from the legislature, so it is important that this specific article is updated. Furthermore, Margaret Ruhl's article was severely outdated, and after inspecting the newer article, it seems to be up-to-date. I am a member of the Ohio General Assembly staff and a legislative expert in Ohio, and recommend leaving those articles as they currently stand. Thanks. 69.99.117.240 ( talk) 22:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Once again, I am a legislative expert in the state of Ohio with years of research and institutional knowledge about the Ohio General Assembly. Additionally, I will add knowledge pertaining to the legislative journals, and from news clips that are compiled by the legislative service commission pertaining to our legislators. Please make sure you check the discussion pages of ohio legislators before reverting edits. 69.99.117.240 ( talk) 22:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Firstly rounding a figure and sticking in the figure is you doing your own thing to the figuree and is unlikely to stop anyone changing it. They simply see you doing it and copy.
Secondly and increase in the figure means the ranking went down. I view marking the ranking as going up as confusing.

As someone who is concerned about the quality and authenticity of Wikipedia, I've noticed some harm being done to a significant amount of articles in which you have worked. I've noticed that there have been a lot of reverted edits regarding members of the Ohio General Assembly for quite some time now. I wanted to make sure that you understand the dynamics of this problem. While I appreciate your concerns of policing Wikipedia, there are significant reverts that have effected the integrity and have nonetheless dated articles. Plus, some reverts have not allowed for resignations and other recent events to be demonstrated. While there are problems addressed by you in regards to Wikipedia's safety in which I appreciate, please don't revert non-infringing information just because of that reason. For example, the articles Ohio House of Representatives, 129th Ohio General Assembly, Robert Mecklenborg, Kris Jordan, Thomas C. Sawyer, and Jarrod Martin are all now dated due to reverts. Please refer these to an administrator who knows about ohio elected officials to see if he can fix them. Thanks, from a concerned Wikipedia enthusiast. SantaCristina ( talk) 13:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

At the top of your user page you say:
I'm afraid you were way too bold in the edits, or moves, you did over the weekend to:
Whatever reasons you may have had for moving the previous versions of these articles to their new locations, you have made it necessary for a huge amount of work to be done to resolve the problems created by the moves, i. e., links all over Wikipedia now pointing to wrong articles. I see that you're doing a huge amount of editing and moving and can't believe you had a chance to give serious consideration to what would need to be done after you moved these two pages.
I tried to take you up on your suggestion and move the two Winans pages, and their talk pages, back to where they came from, but I obviously don't possess your skills and was unable to accomplish this task.

Please look at the button on your left, (What Links Here), before willy-nilly re-naming articles. You turn links to individuals into links to dis-ambiguation pages. For example,
you re-named
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (1864) to
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (politician). No problem so far.
you re-named
Timothy Sylvester Hogan to
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (judge), still no problem.
Now a bit of mischief: you turn
Timothy Sylvester Hogan into a dis-ambiguation page, making links to the judge into links to a dis-ambiguation page without bothering to fix anything!
If you were a newbie, I'd give you a pass. Please think before editing.

Please stop claiming that plastic bullets have been "authorised" for use on the UK mainland in 2011. They have been authorised for years, but the police were (and still are) reluctant to use them. The Times article you cited makes no claim that there is any new authorisation for their use. You have also cited Time magazine here, which is hardly WP:RS for a subtle issue of a foreign nation's politics.
To quote Time, "Cameron, who has authorized the use of water cannons and plastic bullets to combat the rioters, even though it has emerged that the police do not believe they need those things."
There are two problems with this quote - one of which is Cameron himself making a less than clear statement.
There are no water cannons. You can hardly "authorise" water cannons that don't exist. The UK's only six water cannons are in NI, and there is no way that the PSNI will let those come over to the mainland when it's still the marching season in NI and they might really be needed there in a hurry. Yet it's a good soundbite for Cameron to talk tough.
There are plastic bullets. They were there last year too, and the year before that. They have been authorised for police use in a riot situation for some years, yet have not yet been used (one case in a hostage situation). One might assume that this was due to police reluctance, given their limited tactical value and the backlash against them in NI. It is highly misleading to claim that plastic bullets have now been "authorised" for use when nothing of the sort has changed. Cameron, and some newspapers, are making this statement because they have a vested interest in talking tough. We though are supposed to be accurate and objective. Pulling up claims of new authorisations when the situation is the same as it has long been is far from NPOV.
If you insist on adding something to this article re 2011 riots (which is the worst sort of recentism, unless they are actually used), then at least make it objective. Describe the claims being made (as above) and explain how they don't actually mean what they appear to. Give the whole picture, not a spin doctor's biased propaganda of it.

I attempted to resolve the matters (in the plural) on the talk page; The disputes are the listing of lethal waeps on the page (which hasn't gotten to this point yet) and the neutrality of sources. I objected to the use of Amnesty International as a source for the "Torture" section; I let my objections to the entire section go for the time being, and focused on the source, specifically that the ONLY source given is AI, which Wikipedia itself acknowledged is NOT neutral (please see the effective talk page). When ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► himself said in essence to make the changes, I did so. (I also removed the tag.) If anything it IS ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► who is in the wrong here on two fronts; One, for disseminating dis-information (caltrops and batons are lethal weaps, both legally and realistically) and for including a source that Wikipedia itself acknowledges in highly biased.

The normal process involves the "Move" command, next to the Watchlist star in the top bar - it moves both the article and its edit history and its logs, and the talk page and its history and logs. Please DO NOT copy/paste whole articles/redirects anymore. The Move process involves deletion pending move, and so requires an admin. Admin help can be requested on IRC.
So I requested an admin to undo the copy/pastes and perform the proper moves, making "Dan" the main article, and "Daniel" the redirect, since the sources use "Dan" more frequently by far.

¿How exactly does one go about ‘charging’ (for lack of a better word) someone for starting an edit war? Thank you. A. J. REDDSON
Just fyi, there was a discussion a few years back within Wikiproject Law Enforcement on how to title police departments. It was decided that because there were multiple agencies with the same name, there needed to be a standard within the project. The two main contenders were:
The latter won. It was done mainly because editors were writing all kinds of different ways to differentiate different departments of the same name [e.g., Pasadena Police Department (California) and Pasadena Police Department (Texas)]. It was understood that some departments are obviously identifiable in their own right (e.g., NYPD); however, for uniformity, it was decided to include the state name after all department page titles. So, long story short, that's why the state is there. Just fyi. Cheers!-- It's me...Sallicio! 23:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Please note that when you nominate a page for "Requested Move", if that page move (eg Sean Kelly (cyclist) to Sean Kelly) entails moving another existing page (here, moving Sean Kelly to Sean Kelly (disambiguation)), then you must nominate it as a Multiple page move. Otherwise, people who may be watchlisting the dab page don't get a chance to comment on its being moved: you are claiming the cyclist as the Primary Usage, when it has previously been considered, as shown by creating the dab page at the base name, that there is no primary usage. People interested in the dab page need the chance to know about your proposal. This isn't a one-off, I see you have had a pattern of making such incorrect nominations, perhaps through not reading the small print of the instructions at WP:RM carefully enough. Thanks.

Hi, I see that on 18th Sept you moved 29er to 29er (boat), stating that it was not the Primary Topic. You then created a dab page at 29er. As a result, there are now a lot of links which used to lead to the boat page, which now lead to the dab page. It is your responsibility, as the editor who moved the page, to update the links which pointed to it and which now point to the dab page. Please do so, and remember to do so in future when you move a page and create a new page at the old name. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PamD ( talk • contribs)

Regardless of the sockpuppet, the changes requested are 100% correct and are referenced from the legitimate senate journal. I think it undermines the integrity of wikipedia to not allow the changes.

Just thought I'd clear up something you may be unclear about. Your edit summary states that "edits against banned users don't count towards 3rr". This is true, but if an IP is not confirmed as a sock, WP:3RRNO doesn't apply. Thinking someone is a sock doesn't protect you from 3RR, even if you're sure. If an IP is confirmed as a sock, then 3RR doesn't apply, but otherwise the better course of action would be to leave a note on Q's talk page stating that the user is a likely sock, and then an administrator would be able to take a look at it from there. It isn't worth even risking getting blocked for 3RR over a sockpuppet. - Sudo Ghost 23:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Question: Has the IP editor confirmed that they are the blocked user, or is it just editing behavior that matches the banned user that is causing you to believe they are a sockpuppet? - Sudo Ghost 23:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
My roommate at Ohio State's who happens to be interested in Ohio politics (as am I) has been the one in question who is providing edit requests for these articles that Marcus is reverting. As you can see, they are all referenced by the official senate journal, making the edits requests 100% factual. It is devastating to me that his reverts of the edit requests are blatantly making all of these articles obsolete and dated. I have recently created an account to try to clear these things up, as the IP to our house has been labeled as a "sockpuppet". However, I have been afraid to make edits, as he will almost certainly block this account if I do. We need help! These articles are in danger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LynchburgLongIsland ( talk • contribs) 01:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I got the email...I'm just concerned here that it is inevitable that, as we approach the election, your approach is going to be too heavy-handed. It's one thing to revert the edits of a likely sock to an article--but you were also reverting edit requests on talk page, and comments on user pages. Yes, banned editors can't edit anywhere in any way, but when no actual harm is done by the edit, you need to be extremely certain that it comes from the banned editor, not from someone else with a similar POV. Perhaps in the future it would be better to go ahead and revert any article edit you suspect is the banned user immediately, but for other edits actually file an SPI and at least get a second pair of eyes on the issue. As a side note, I personally have no problem with semi-protecting all of the articles on Ohio politicians, as that actually seems to be a safer solution to me, though I imagine that my opinion is in the minority.

Hello!
You may have seen that I've reverted your claiming of speedy-deletion from a bunch of clearly in-scope articles on the basis that they were started (in some cases, years ago) by a now-banned user, with the message:
I've now seen that you claim
on Jimmy's talk that you're doing it because of copyvio concerns - but you're (a) not nominating them on that basis, (b) nominating articles out of scope of "CSD G5" (it only counts for articles created since the individual was banned), and (c) you're in danger of violating
WP:POINT.

I'm sick and tired of all the commotion surrounding these pages, and I want to help clean them up. Let me know what I can do to help. I've just created a username after using an IP for a few edits (which was blocked, by the way, apparently inadvertently). I work for Gongwer News Service, which is a nonpartisan, statehouse news bureau with a lot of knowledge about these guys.
One thing that I want to focus on is the fact that a lot of my material has been used here, and was at one point deleted, but now has returned. As a journalist, this is very insulting to me and I cannot believe that it is tolerated here. Almost all of the pages I have looked at have plagiarized my material and referenced it with other articles, which is a serious issue.

For your information, a {{db-move}} tag was placed on a Redirect page you once created called Missile vehicle. This is so that an article specifically about missile vehicles can be moved into that title. The current Missile vehicle page redirects to Combat vehicle, which does not say a single thing about missile vehicles. H Padleckas ( talk) 05:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Why do you want a History Merge of Missile vehicle and User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft? I'm the only one who contributed to the User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft page, and the only thing it shows it that I wrote the article over the course of 19 edits. The User page was written because I felt the article was not ready to be presented to the public as a formal encyclopedia article until I placed in in the mainspace. The User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft page History is junk. There is no reason to save it or show it to the public, not that it's a secret. Actually, I plan to delete that Draft User page, although there is no hurry. H Padleckas ( talk) 10:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

" I believe that is what brought Doug here. That edit summary made it look like you were moving the pages to a new name with Democratic Party (United States) in the title. What I suspect happened is that you meant to copy "(United States)" and use that as the same paste on each move from a USA title, but somehow copied the entire wiklink for the democratic party (United States) article, and then pasted that on every moved without looking at the edit summary.--

Hi, I see that you have moved ASUS to Asus. I don't have a big problem with this in principle as I think this is one of those cases where good arguments can be made for either approach. However I do have a problem with the article text and article title not being in agreement. Either *every* use of the company name in the article (apart perhaps from a "styled as "ASUS" wording in first sentence of the lead) should be "Asus", or the article should be titled "ASUS". A standard approach should also be followed in all ASUS related articles, such as for products, and all templates. Rangoon11 ( talk) 14:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I saw your RfA and went there wanting you to give me a reason to support—you've come a long way since your last RfA—but a single-sentence nomination statement that says nothing about why you want to be an admin isn't much help.

I will give credit where it is due, you have hung on and been persistent, and I think in a good way. My concerns are still there, but I didn't see a reason to pile. Or I could be completely wrong and your answers just aren't reflecting your usual self and you do understand the purpose of the policies better than it appears. I don't know, I can only see what I see. I can see voting for you in the future when I'm a bit more comfortable with your familiarity. I didn't see any real negatives with you, just didn't see a deep enough understanding of the reason for the policies, the nuances, which is much more important than the policies themselves.
That is the primary purpose of WP:IAR, by the way, to insure we apply the spirit of the policy first, and not just the letter. IAR is so we don't wikilawyer ourselves into mediocrity by becoming slaves to the actual wording, and instead focus on the intent of the policy or guideline, so we can ignore the wording when an action is clearly within the spirit, but not the text. This is why so many of us are hounds about IAR, it keeps us from painting ourselves in a corner, and it is the best tool to develop new guidelines, or destroy old ones. If a policy is clearly against what is best for the encyclopedia, WP:IAR says we need to change that policy and should ignore it until we do. At its heart it says "Do what is best for the encyclopedia, rules be damned", and that common sense always trumps written rules. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 23:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I found some disagreement in the stats of the AN/TWQ-1_Avenger article; mainly the metric weight and width have been miscalculated. Both were off by about 10%, and I corrected that in the main column.
As the "Military vehicle" taskforce member I found in its edit history, could you please adjust the data in the infobox, which I could not edit? There should be an edit link at the top but it doesn't show up for me. I hope my last edit didn't break anything... I tried to bypass the browser cache but that doesn't fix it either, I'm about to give up.
Please tell me what I did wrong - the article talk page would be fine, or put your reply in here, my IP goes up an d down between edits and I would have to come back here anyway to find what it is right now.

Hey Marcus, I wanted to quickly discuss this page, looks like you first created a redirect-placeholder for it back in April, since then a few other editors have cobbled together a stub of a page for it. Now I consider myself an inclusionist but I'm seriously wondering if this page is AfD worthy, of course I don't want to nominate it myself as I recognize that I'd have a hard time adopting a NPOV on the issue as I personally think that it's a stupid label created by tech bloggers, and it seems that most of them have even given up on using it. The article as it exists now seems to be poorly sourced and should be deleted per WP:N but I'd like to see someone a little more NPOV take a look at it.

Hi Marcus Qwertyus. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.
If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.
If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲 水 09:10, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Mobli screenshot.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi Marcus Qwertyus! The Missouri Botanical Garden is currently working on the Art of Life project, which might build a very useful collaboration with the Wikimedia Commons. They plan to use computational techniques to identify the hundreds of thousands of illustrations in the 39 million pages scanned and published online by the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). The identified illustrations are going to be pretty metadata-poor: the BHL only has bibliographic information on each book, and won't be able to add much more information to the images. The BHL is thinking about uploading these illustrations (those in the public domain, anyway) to the Commons, where they could be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles and (hopefully!) have additional metadata added to them.
I worked with the BHL over the summer preparing the groundwork for this process, including setting up a collaboration page, setting up a category and creating a template for BHL metadata. But the next step -- building bridges between the BHL and the Commons -- is going to be critical, and I'd really appreciate your help in making that happen. User:Pharos suggested that you might be interested, or know other St. Louisans who might be interested, in working with BHL and the Missouri Botanical Garden. I think your experience in tracking copyright on the Commons will be incredibly useful to the BHL in planning this project!

May I also ask you not to modify TITLEs of external articles (linked in the <ref> </ref> tag) like there: diff :

In a recent edit to the page Golf, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Nja247 ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Golf club (equipment), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability.

I wanted to contact you on a personal level to urge you to consider strengthening the credibility of the Golf article by citing your sources. I was reading it over again today, and the section your edited on the golf swing stands out in my mind. As I'm sure we both know, when it comes to playing golf, there's more than one way to skin a cat, (see Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones) to appreciate the variety of golf swings that work effectively) however; the golf swing section as it reads now sounds like there is only one true way to hit a golf ball. What you've added to the article has merit, but please inform the unfamiliar reader that a variety of golf swings have proved effective, be careful not to turn Wikipedia into an instructional guide, and cite your source material. Happy editing, Eaglebreath ( talk) 06:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Golf. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

A tag has been placed on Ultra Lob wedge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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
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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi
I see you have requested Golf to be reassessed from its B-class rating. I think it still is at B-class in my opinion, but the only way to get it assessed any higher is to nominate it for a good-article, at WP:GAC. I honestly don't think it is ready for that though. And while I am here I have been meaning to let you know that deleting stuff off talk pages is not the way to go, even if it is old and redundant :). Keep up the good work!

Hi. I have merged Ultra lob wedge into Lob wedge as there is no requirement for a separate article, and it is one type of lob wedge.

A tag has been placed on M1135 NBC Reconnaissance Vehicle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Muscle-back iron a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. wjemather bigissue 18:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you working to a plan, because it is very hard see what your end goal is and follow what you doing. It would appear that you keep changing your mind, and many of the equipment articles are now very messy.
I'm not entirely sure of the titles for some articles either, e.g. Types of irons to me this would be 1, 2, ..., PW, SW, etc. not different designs of irons, which is what the article is.
Perhaps it would have been better to start a discussion before all the mass editing, article creation, splitting, merging and redirecting.
I also note that you consider Stroke mechanics (golf) to be some of your finest work, despite it having no lead section and zero references. Please remember that verifiablity is essential, and as such reliable sources much be cited. Regards. wjemather bigissue 22:31, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Please discuss before making major merges like you did with golf wedges. I STRONGLY disagree with this action and am reverting some of it.

Despite the ammount of work you have clearly done trying to organise and improve various golf equipment articles, I do not believe that there is sufficient content here to warrant breaking up the Iron (golf) article. As mentioned previously, it would probably be best for you to start discussions at WP:GOLF before making such drastic changes to the flow of articles, especially since you seem to be going backwards and forwards quite a lot yourself.

Thanks for uploading File:Bushmaster mk44.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly ( Parrot) 02:38, 9 July 2009

I enjoyed seeing your attempt to change your username to ~~~~ but as you can see it is not allowed. I suspect it's been disabled at the software level, because it would cause all sorts of problems. Note, for example, that nobody would be able to link to your userpage or talkpage, not even yourself. (Try making a link to [[User:~~~~]] if you're skeptical; not even <nowiki> will help.) Note, though, that usernames such as ~~0~~ are in fact allowed. You could technically give yourself a name like ~~~~, which has a zero width space in the middle, but my guess is that even though it's technically possible it would be disallowed because the everyday user will not have a zero width space on their keyboard, and it would cause no end of chaos for people who don't see the space and assume that your name is ~~~~.
Also, another note: I believe that WP:CHU uses a bot and that your new request to change your name to Username may not be recognized by the software even though the human editors can see it. I've seen them decline requests for being improperly formatted even though it's clear what the user wants to do, suggesting that the software can't parse the request. So you might want to make a new request from scratch. -- Soap Talk/ Contributions 19:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bipod (weapon), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Bipod. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 20:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi! An IP contested the M2 Mortar move you listed at WP:RM, so I've started a move discussion on the talk page. I also informed the Weaponry task force of WikiProject Military history about the discussion. By the way, could you remove the transclusions of user:user name one/Capitolization from the various talk pages it's included on? Firstly, it's no longer relevant since there's now a place to discuss the issue on the M2 Mortar talk page, and secondly, it's very confusing for editors to transclude such a long discussion onto various talk pages instead of just pasting a link there.

I see you have restored Vehicles of the United States Air Force from a redirect it still copies the same information at List of active United States military aircraft so your change should be reverted. I have two suggestions that either you add the aircraft images List of active United States military aircraft then they would be the same so you can remove the aircraft list at Vehicles of the United States Air Force or you make the lists different. Can I suggest you make the aircraft list similar to what you have done but remove the version and quantity. It may be easier just to add the images to the other list but I hope you appreciate I am just trying to stop duplicated information (also note it make page maintenance harder as most editors would only edit/update one article so they end up with different details).

Thanks for keeping an eye on the M113 article--there's been a lot of... spirited debate about its nicknames. I noticed that the article linked to a PDF by a guy who has been banned from wikipedia (and other sites) many times for vandalism on this and other subjects. Google Mike Sparks or "combatreform"--it's like time cube, but with flying tanks. The pdf seems to have been written before he went totally insane, and it doesn't seem to be self-published like the rest of his stuff, so I guess we should keep it.

Bear with me. I figured out what happened. There are two totally different ways of interpreting this sentence: the way I perceived it was that the game was basically a driving contest and the players would get a couple dozen golf balls and try to get more balls than their opponent into a target. the way you interpreted it ( and the way it was meant to be interpreted) was that the game was more like golf in which the players tried to get the ball to the target in the least number of strokes. username 1 ( talk) 15:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes traditionally go at the top. Templates go wherever they will least disrupt the format of the article, which is quite commonly along the right side and further down the page. Kafziel Complaint Department 21:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
In a recent edit to the page The Who, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Wiki libs ( talk) 17:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi User name one, instead of removing the information I researched and added to KC-X page, can you move it to how you think it should appear?
Removing material that is validly referenced should not be allowed. I'm not as well versed in Wiki as you are, but I'm sure you can help me find that. Moving it appropriately I am sure is.
Also, I don't see where references are not allowed in the See Also section.

Thanks for uploading File:Austintexasplanecrash.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rockfang ( talk) 07:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Austintexasplanecrash.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{

A tag has been placed on The Wornick Company 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 an organization or company, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedydeletion, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Below is the email, verbatim, sent by Orangemike to Harmonia1 tonight (4/8/10). Orangemike's email demonstrates such a lack of Wikipedian NPOV that one must conclude that this project should be given to a Wikipedian less personally involved with the history of Tempus, Thieves' World and the Sacred Band, TSR, and Dragon Magazine.
Here is Orangemike's email in full, for the record, which clearly shows conflict of interest, stating that Orangemike was in a fiduciary relationship with Dragon Mag related to writing at least one review of the characters in this series and still harbors a clearly-expressed and historic hostility toward one of the series' protagonists:
"I go way back with "Thieve's World"; even sold a gleefully favorable review of one volume to DRAGON Magazine back in the day. On the other hand: my review of the book, specifically my clearly-expressed opinion of Tempus, led Janet to call for a boycott of DRAGON and all TSR products (a call which fell on deaf ears; I wasn't the only one to despise the sister-raping bastard).
The problem with the article is that Wikipedia is supposed to be for the general reader, and must adhere to solid rules about sourcing, notability, verifiability, etc. Fancruft that is only of interest to the fanbase of a series (indeed almost exclusively comprehensible to them) has no place there; if the topic is not documentably notable in the rest of the world, it is not for Wikipedia. (No reason somebody couldn't create a SanctuaryWiki.)"
Harmonia1 responds:
Notability: The presence in Wikipedia of articles on Thieves World and other series like it shows that a neutral editorship has found them adequately notable; this series differs most in that it has a solid historical underpinning and grapples with a topic of perennial interest to general readers: sexuality in the military. This historical connectivity is either not understood or ignored by Orangemike, who is from this fan and gaming community he describes.
Sourcing: This Wikipedia article, The Sacred Band of Stepsons, correctly cites classical sources. It must. All the books have a strong classical underpinning. This is especially true of the latest volume, which incorporates historical characters from the Sacred Band of Thebes and the philosophy and behaviors of those characters, the earliest known homosexual war-band in Ancient Greece, and so requires the identification of classical sources, speaking as it does directly to an academic controversy centering on the missing forty-six skeletons from what was believed by some scholars to be a mass grave where all 300 were said to be buried, and to the perennial political and social controversy of homosexuals and bisexuals in militaries. Harmonia1 ( talk) 04:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Marcus, it is probably more important than will be immediately apparent to decide if you want to title this article with the compound (nonlethal) or hyphenated (non-lethal) version of the term, or call it "Nonlethality," which includes weapons, capabilities, policy and strategy. As I said, the name game continues but the most established terms are nonlethal, nono-lethal and nonlethality. Some questions on this site were about what weapons might be coming down the pike. "Nonlethality: a Global Strategy," breaks down weapons and capabilities into technology areas and operational areas; the Nonlethal Taxonomy (at JNLWD; I think I can get a version of that) gets very specific. It may be useful to provide a suite of potentials rather than simply current items in the arsenal. Harmonia1 ( talk) 00:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I see the hyphenated form as being the most common on Google searches:Non-lethal:7,250,000, Nonlethal:1,570,000, Less-lethal: 6,710,000, Lesslethal: 416,000. However, non-lethal on wiktionary redirects to nonlethal. Wictionary also doesn't have an entry for less lethal but sublethal does. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ( talk) 19:56, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Call it "Non-lethal" or "Nonlethal." I prefer "Nonlethal" since it is more literate and means the same as "Non-lethal." If a less lethal or LTL capability, such as an improved rubber bullet or sting-ball grenade, us purchased or to be purchased for military use, then include it. The military police folks will be glad to help if you have a question about police use of crowd-control munitions and capabilities. I left you some discussion on my talk page for this topic. "Nonlethal" will turn out to be the proper usage as time goes on; people have differing levels of education. The Council on Foreign Relations chose "Nonlethal" and if there is an NPOV defense policy activity of high intellectual quality, they are it. That said, one must use information categorized with "Non-lethal" as well, and probably things and activities being developed under other rubrics, as people try to file the serial numbers off the NL activities and claim primacy. For your purposes, I would just say at the top that the "Nonlethal Weapons" or "Nonlethal Capabilities" article you are doing may include at times various items and activities categorized by many different names during formative stages, including "Non-Lethal," "Nonlethal," and others, and that your criteria are whether the research and developemtn effort comes to fruition under direction of the Department of Defense or Defense Department and Armed Services Aquisition activities were involved in their fielding with U.S. armed services. (I am aware of so many variants: "less than lethal, less lethal" (police), nonthreatening force (Darpa); soft kill(National Labs); "scalable force" (Army), etc. Rand has just put out a study trying to rename it yet again; went to their launch conference but can't remember what they wanted to call it: have heard so many silly names. Characterizing the r&d, technology, acquistion and weaponization efforts in terms of their intended end-user or use will keep your article focused and prevent concept drift, one would think.
For citations and overviews, you might start with the DoD Directive I provided, plus the CFR reports I provided, plus "An Assessment of Non-lethal Weapons Science and Technology," National Research Council of the National Academies, National Academies Press, 2003 -- even if it is paid for by the Navy and a bit naval in its outlook. That citation ought to convince even an Orangemike. Certainly Joint Non-lethal Weapons Directorate at Quantico will have some unclassified mission statement.

Marcus, is it appropriate to work on Non-lethal page or wait until they decide whether to split it onto a non-lethal and a less-lethal page? NL page needs to be reorganized and rewritten if that is the title, since the focus then is broader and more encompassing. Several of us want to work on it, but don't want to do any edits that might be considered destructive if the pages are going to be split: less-lethal people might want to keep some language as it is.

Am I supposed to be responding here? Or on my page? I think that since langue compoudns over time, wiktionary is correct in choosing the compound form, but we need to accept all things labeled "non-lethal" and wll have to take items and capabilities on a case-by-case basis, with filters for what the end use is and how the money has flowed: developed for military or police use needs to be the first sorting mechanism. We were involved with the folks who put together the first NL kits; there we had no option but to use police-derived capabilities. Start with the non-lethal; add the nonlethal, which is usually the intellectual or better-educated, higher-end user. Tules of engagement will help. More on my page.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Phantom_ray_rollout.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Christ man, I can't even finish an article without some person trying to claim some irrelevancy. Sorry this isn't a story regarding New York City - of which I am sure there would be no argument whatsoever there. However for Portland, Oregon, this is HUGE news, especially 16:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC) among the pro-police society and the anti-police/Vegan/Anarchist societies in Portland, Oregon who are threatened by the latest round of shootings by the Portland PD. Let me get the article put together for god's sake. The event in and of itself has gotten national coverage in CNN and FOX News and is very representative of the resentment felt by a large segment of Portlanders towards our corrupt and gun happy police department. Despite my feeling on the matter personally, I am citing all sides of the event not for the promotion of the business but rather to reflect the attitudes of Portland business owners towards the local law enforcement agency.

Hi Marcus,
I posted an article about a company that I work for. And we were promptly deleted within minutes of the posting. I would like to get some advice on this, because I feel that this action is knee-jerk and unfair. Here's why.
There are plenty of wikipedia articles that give overviews of different businesses. Sure, they tend to be established businesses and we're a young start up. It's hard for me to avoid getting the feeling that the implication here is that these companies deserve to be written about, and ours doesn't because we're too small. That doesn't seem like a solid rationale to me and not in keeping with Wikipedia. I completely understand why you have to exert quality control for wikipedia entries, but I don't believe that a company writing about itself necessarily amounts to obtrusive advertising.
What if someone hears about us and wants to know more about us? Isn't that the point of Wikipedia ?
I understand the need to have a variety of sources, but don't you think I should be a valid informational source as I know alot about the company that I work for ? I used no "peacock language" in the article, and there was no sales-pitch terminology. Yet, the article (titled BeyondLive) was deleted by the user "Evil Saltine." According to Wikipedia, the articles should be allowed to evolve and become more substantiated by different sources. Ours basically got ripped away from us before we had a chance to do any of that.
I'd like to reinstate the article under whatever guidance you can give.
Thank You,
Dan Cauthorn

I do understand the impulse that prompted you to tag this article for deletion; I completely agree that it should not remain, because recipes are specifically covered under WP:NOTGUIDE. Unfortunately I could not agree that the topic met any criterion for speedy deletion. I have therefore removed the speedy tag and its associated hangon tag and replaced it with a PROD tag; should the PROD tag be removed, I have watchlisted the article and will take it to AfD.

Hi, Marcus.
Thank you for your assistance moving my page C.A.Walker Research Solutions. I have questions:
1) I read this stuff about Closing Instructions and frankly, it's confusing. Do I need to add this to my discussions page? "This article has been renamed per the above move request"
2) When I was building the page in my sandbox, I tried to upload the company logo CAWLogo.jpg and it was deleted by a bot. Now that the page is moved can I re-upload it, or ask the bot to put it back, or what? I'm pretty confused how to handle adding a logo with permission by the company owner.
3) Now that the page is moved I can delete it from my sandbox right?

I'm not sure where you think you got the authority to issue an ultimatum to User:Jansport87 about their username. Usually if a name is not so blatantly outside of policy as to warrant an immediate block we move the report to the holding pen where it can sit for up to a week, substantially longer than the 36 hour deadline you decreed. In this case I don't even think the name is blockable at all and have advised Jansport87 to ignore both your deadline and your request that they change their name. If the name isn't causing an actual problemthen nothing is solved by blocking the user, and the potential of losing a good contributor over a non-issue like this far outweighs the risks of letting them edit with this username as they have been doing without trouble for several months now.

Mr. Qwertyus,
You are correct that Quintesocial is currently only available in the Portland and Denver markets, however Quintesocial's expansion will soon encompass Charlotte, NC and other territories as well. This is an emerging social networking site that I feel warrants a Wikipedia page for the sheer fact that it has already helped thousands in both those regions and will soon help many more on a more national scale in the months to come. Looking forward to your feedback on this.

Hi Marcus,
Just wondering why you think that my story about purchasing the towel that covered up Janet Jackson in the Superbowl is a hoax/untrue? I was hired as a production assistant in Dec. of 2003, and worked for a month on location at Reliant Stadium...
The day of the event I was stationed on the first floor of the stadium watching the game, and I was radioed by my production coordinator. There was a request for us to take the "P" card (purchasing credit card) and buy a official Superbowl towel for the show. We had no idea why (since we had purchased 400 towels already that week) but we did it anyway and handed it over to the staff. The next time we saw the towel it was on stage covering her up. It was obvious that it was purchased for that reason because she was handed that towel specifically, even though there were many normal towels under the stage (which we were using to dry off the stage because it was raining outside. I saw this from the 50 yard line, and not sure if the towel-handing part of the show was aired nationally.
Here are a couple pics of me from the gig: http://twitpic.com/1z4di8 http://twitpic.com/1z4d9x
I have altered the entry because I didn't want to have that be the reason that my page was taken down, but it happened. I can provide more evidence and references if needed for any other source. I did not start this page, but seeing how it concerns me I have made edits to try and make it as accurate as possible. I'm not sure what the multiple "problems" are with this article, but you seem to be an expert on wiki so if there is anyway you could help me fix this article, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the message, Marcus. Take it easy. :) - Fnlayson ( talk) 23:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Could you stop hunting that article down, now. Thanks. I've added sources, and there's nothing wrong with the tone or anything. There's no reason to pick on me because of a thing that doesn't even exist. I write my articles as I do in my native Swedish Wikipedia, and there nobody complains about it, so could you stop stalking me, please. Roslagen ( talk) 17:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I have read your report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism on 70.132.203.143. It seems that there is now a range block on this. However, if there hadn't been then I would not have known what range to block. For future reference it helps in such cases to indicate other IPs that are involved, so that a suitable range can be calculated. JamesBWatson ( talk) 18:55, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Range block obviously not working. List forthcoming. Marcus Qwertyus ( signs his posts) 19:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I have received your more complete list. Unfortunately the range is so wide that a single block across them all would catch over 200 million IP addresses, which would be unacceptable. I will look into the possibility of a number of smaller range blocks, but it may not be possible. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
The IPs at present split into three smaller ranges plus 4 individual IPs which are on their own. it would be possible to block them in separate subranges, which would catch six thousand and odd IPs. This would still be too many to accept in the long term, but it might be acceptable for short-term blocks. Unfortunately we would almost certainly find there were new IPs coming up in the gaps between those ranges, so we would have more to block. It may be worth trying to contact an admin who has more experience of this kind of problem than I have, but I'm afraid I think it is likely to be a question of continually blocking piecemeal for short times as new IPs crop up, and hope the vandal gets bored and gives up or (less likely) gets a life. Keep telling me of new instances, though, and for the moment I will do what I can. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I think on the whole that the best thing to do is just to keep blocking them as they come, and
not feed the troll. If you like I will semi-protect your talk page, but I don't recommend that as it would prevent access by other new and unregistered users.

I don't want you to think I hate you or that I would perpetually oppose you at RFA or anything like that, but communication is an important part of an admin's job and it seems like you need a little work in that department. An error in judgement of my own caused my first RFA to go down in flames, but I learned from my mistakes and made it through on my second try and was even supported by the user who had brought up the damning evidence in the first place. I'm sure you could do the same given some time. Beeblebrox ( talk) 05:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I'd just created Piquet Carneiro train crash and felt a bit peeved when the expand and orphan tags were so quickly put on; never mind.

Marcus, can you please look at the reblanking of the cast summaries in this article? You reverted the change once. You can see my discussion with the user who insists it's better this way in the Cast Biographies section. I disagree with the user but said I would let you deal with it.

Hi, I see that you split some of the content of Estadio Nacional (Lima) to create 1964 Lima football riot, but you don't seem to have added the various talk page templates required by WP:SPLIT to ensure that the edit history is preserved.
The chunk of text you copied is a rather a mess, with two versions of the same content (one translated worse than the other from the same source perhaps?) and needs a lot of work done on it! PamD ( talk) 19:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hiya Marcus! Just a friendly note that I declined your speedy deletion tagging of First person to own Apple's Ipad.

If an article has no categories on it at all, could you please use the {{ uncat}} template instead of the {{ catimprove}} one? The latter is for articles that already have some categories on them but need additional ones (e.g. if an article is filed in Category:Living people but doesn't have a nationality or occupational category on it); the former template is meant for articles that have no categories on them at all. Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 04:11, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Marcus, Thanks for the welcome. I have been using wp for years (who has not?), so I thought that it was time I made an effort to pay back a little. Also I am bumming around Thailand now, so this would be a good place to start.
A question, do you think it is beneficial to add the latlong of a tourism or site of interest in a Thai provincial or city page? My thinking is that as more people acquire a gps/smart phone, gps spots will become increasingly relied upon for navigation. Also, I dabble in waymarking, so I have acquired more than a few gps spots in Thailand. —Preceding unsignedcomment added by Ian@perth ( talk • contribs) 17:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Marcus, I was just looking at the World War 2 German submachine guns when I looked at the French guns I saw the submachine guns, I was guessing the French soldiers stole the fallen German soldiers guns. The submachine gun Erma EMP-35 was not listed on the german submachine guns list. I was asking permission to see if I could correct that if neccesary. commanderneyo77 ( talk) 22:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I apologise for my use of that 2001 map, I was new to uploading images and didn't look into it's source well enough. I have now replaced it with a map which was created by a friend of mine who also created maps for most general elections dating back to the 1830's. I hope that this saves any of the maps I have uploaded from deletion as no other maps from before 2001 seem to exist on the internet and I've received a number of e-mails and messages thanking me for uploading them. Any further advice on how to resolve this matter would be appreciated.MWhite 13:16, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
I did the four tildes to sign my post, but it's saying unsigned. Just so you don't think I'm being rude or anything.
Thanks for uploading File:ArmedScout-3.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 02:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

"Relased" does not mean the company has relinquished its rights to the image, but that it's allowed the US Navy to use the image. These inages are not public domain. See File:USS America (LHA-6) - 050718-O-0000X-001.jpg for how a similar issue was handled. I'm still trying to find the original discussion page about that image, which explains the issue in better detail. If you've added any other images to Commons that were "released", you should proably see about having them removed. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 23:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Marcus,
One of your recent edits here seems to have 'broken' a ref and left a 'Cite error': "<ref name=KC1 />" see
Diff (and look at the bottom of the page). Most of the refs are defined in the references section, not among the text as is more common. I fixed it by 'commenting out' the reference, which apparently gave an error as it was no longer being used. Just FYI.-

Since when is Wikipedia a conduit for lies and libel?
To state that only "one person" calls the M113 the Gavin when its obvious that thousands of people do is pure sour grapes--and deliberate LYING. When he edits a book and there are several others as co-authors who call the M113 the Gavin, you are not in any position to continue to LIE and say ONLY ONE PERSON calls the M113 the Gavin. If Mike has "followers" as you admit below---then you need to stop LYING that only one person is doing something. And if you google "m113 gavin" you will find THOUSANDS of web sites and pages that have nothing to do with Mike Sparks or any news organization so that is yet another lie.
Moreover, when the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army General Casey says he wants a GCV-Light of under 20 tons who are you "Marcus Qwertyus" to play god and delete his remarks?
HE IS THE CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE U.S. ARMY, that's REALITY, bud.
This is yet more proof why Wiki is not deserving of any of our donations because jerks think they can monopolize the pages and be accountable to no one and no amount of FACTS.
Marcus Qwertyus and anyone who acts like him as a conduit for lies and a censor of the truth are the ones VANDALIZING Wiki.

in your recent edit at Talk:Mark I tank you removed/edited another user's comments. While I appreciate the sentiment behind the edit, it is still not the correct thing to do. The correct approach is to ask that the contributor either defend their comments which you consider to be contrary to assuming good faith and no personal attacks or apologise and retract them. It may be that the user spoke in haste and the heat of the moment and should be given the opportunity to respond. I will advise User:Andy Dingley that I have mentioned this to you.

Hello. I appreciate the Bold! direction you were going when you sent {{ uw-mos3}} and {{ uw-mos4}} to TfD. However, the uw-mos3 nomination was flawed as step #1 "tag the template" was not completed. As per the DRV process, I contacted the deleting admin and asked him to review his deletion on the grounds that this was a stealth nomination. He agreed and invited me to restore the template as he was unable to utilize his admin tools at the time.
Speaking as an editor, I have used {{ uw-mos1}}, {{ uw-mos2}}, and {{ uw-mos3}} when working with new editors who were not familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines ( for obvious reasons this series of templates was designed with new editors in mind). Speaking as an admin, I can also tell you that I have blocked editors for disruptive editing because they ignored warnings in the uw-mos series. However if you still feel strongly about the usefulness (or lack thereof) of these templates, I would encourage you to seek consensus first on the talk page and/or working with WikiProject user warnings.

I declined your speedy-rename request because I found another meaning for the term (that makes it a 3-way dab, so can't be handled with a hat-note in the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC article).

WP NOT shouldn't be reworded on the basis of one particular situation without very general agreement. I support your view on the article, but I have reverted your change to the policy.

Hi there!
Concerning the move made to Fahd (vehicle), the previous name of the article was based on the name of the M113 armored personnel carrier article, albeit with brackets. Are you sure that counts as over-precision? I find vehicle to be somewhat vague.-- Sherif9282 ( talk) 14:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
You added a CSD to Quick Kill, which I thought was because you were converting from a dab to a hatnote. In any event, the result was a redirect to itself.

Regarding your edit to PlayStation (i.e. the splitting of PS One into it's own section) the PS one is a redesigned PlayStation, similar to the redesigns fo the PS2, PSP and PS3 that followed.

Thanks for uploading File:Ripsaw logo.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

hi, just wondering what is the meaning of the heading "Is this table correct?" in the Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_revisionspage. Did you mean to ask it in the talk page?

Hi im new to Wikipedia as you probably know, could you fix up the page i created about a mole who 'compomised' australian intelligence. George Sadil Its my second day and its way too confusing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Sadil
Just wanted to follow up the note you left here. You were quite right to point out that tsunami in the singular is better, but the question of terminology has always been a vexed one. I would phrase it as the article does, a 'tsunami wave train', but that would raise other objections as well. I do, though, object to the periodically repeating surges or run-ups being referred to as 'waves'. Most people's experiences of waves is of surface waves, and tsunami 'waves' are much more than that (the displaced water column is from the sea floor up to the surface, rather than just at the surface). I'm sure you know all this already, but I'm just trying to unpack it here for my benefit as well. One older term used in the article is 'seismic sea wave', which isn't bad, actually. The deprecated term 'tidal wave' makes more sense than it seems, because the surge of a tsunami (effectively a violent local rise in sea level) is similar to that seen in a tidal bore, or a high tide, or a storm surge (see also meteotsunami). Finally, the use of the plural. Though they all originate from a single source, the wave trains can be referred to separately as they impact different areas, so it is actually not that uncommon to refer to them in the plural as tsunamis - for example, look for use of the phrase "Tsunamis Predicted for Pacific Basin" following the earthquake. As I said earlier, I'm sure you know all this, and please don't think I'm objecting to the change to singular (as I said, you were correct to suggest that). I'm just trying, in a long-winded way, to explain why I used the plural form. Carcharoth ( talk) 07:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

You made an with the summary "because it was notable". I'd just like to point out a few things about Notability. One, it dictates what subjects deserve a separate article, not whether information can be included in an existing article. Second, notability requires that material comply with other Wikipedia policies, including WP:CRYSTAL, WP:VERIFY, and WP:WEASEL ("analysts say..."). Thirdly, please note that "significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article." ( WP:GNG, final bullet) Such consensus, in our case, has not formed yet but may form in the future, and must be built on arguments relating to this specific case and not on the notability guideline, because both possibilities are acceptable under it. Please understand Wikipedia policies and guidelines before you quote them in situations where they do not apply. Thank you, HereToHelp ( talk to me) 00:28, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Quirky screenshot.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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.

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 Doodle.com 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 web content, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Dr. Conditt's birthday is incorrect. Her birthday is August 7, 1953. She has also requested both universities be listed, Univ. of Alabama and Univ, of Colo. I am also in the process of writing more information for the page. I am her daughter and I have been working with her on this. I can put you in contact with her if you would like. Please don't change the information again, especially if it is incorrect! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.79.210 ( talk) 12:44, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Conditt received her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Subsequently, she worked in various aspects through Proctor and Gamble, before retiring in 2006. In terms of public service, Conditt was elected as a Liberty Township Trustee in 1998 and served in that capacity until 2001.
Conditt practices Catholicism and serves on the Catholic Social Services board in both Butler County and Warren County. She is also a campus minister at the Northern Kentucky University.
When Senator Gary Cates, a long serving legislator who once held the 55th District, resigned from the Ohio Senate, Representative Bill Coley sought to replace him. He ultimately attained the seat, and went on the resign from the Ohio House of Representatives soon before. As a result, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder was required to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the 129th Ohio General Assembly. Conditt was among thirteen other Republicans who opted for the seat.
Ultimately, it was announced that Conditt would indeed succeed Coley in the House. Conditt was sworn into office on June 8, 2011. She will have to run for a full term in the fall of 2012. [1]
Thank you. I do not know who made the original entry. We only made the changes to her birthdate and college information. I will check for copyright infringement, but I will be writing the information along with Dr. Conditt. Ehritzaa ( talk) 19:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Marcus. This is to inform you that I have reversed the move you made, without any consultation, of Electric vehicle warning sounds. First, this is a Good Article, which means it has been formally reviewed and the name checked. Second, if you read the content you will realize that the new warning sounds (yes several) are quite different from a conventional horn. Last, considering this is a GA rated article, I think you should have opened a discussion to rename it rather than doing a bold move. Since I reversed the move, feel free to open a discussion in the corresponding talk to rename the article. Thanks.-- Mariordo ( talk) 01:10, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Marcus. This is to inform you that the articles that you have been diverting from what is called a sockpuppet are often good edits, despite the worry of plagiarism or infringement. Specifically, the edits made to Karen Gillmor, Margaret Ruhl, and others. Specifically to those two articles, I recommend keeping them as previously updated. As you may or may not know, Gillmor will be leaving shortly from the legislature, so it is important that this specific article is updated. Furthermore, Margaret Ruhl's article was severely outdated, and after inspecting the newer article, it seems to be up-to-date. I am a member of the Ohio General Assembly staff and a legislative expert in Ohio, and recommend leaving those articles as they currently stand. Thanks. 69.99.117.240 ( talk) 22:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Once again, I am a legislative expert in the state of Ohio with years of research and institutional knowledge about the Ohio General Assembly. Additionally, I will add knowledge pertaining to the legislative journals, and from news clips that are compiled by the legislative service commission pertaining to our legislators.

Secondly and increase in the figure means the ranking went down. I view marking the ranking as going up as confusing.
Thirdly you removed the American ranking. That is probably the most important thing about the Conservapedia ranking as they don't care about the rest of the world. Dmcq ( talk) 08:45, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Corero Network Security 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/Corero Network Security 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. PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 08:31, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I have had a message that this image has been flagged for speedy deletion. I have no idea why this is. I created it myself in Gnuplot and I use it in an article I am writing about Fraunhofer diffraction. So there are no copyright issues, and it is totally innocous. Have I missed some vital aspect? Can you tell me what I need to do to stop it being deleted? Thanks Epzcaw ( talk) 23:16, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi
If this is just a page deletion after transfer to commons, why is there not a notice to say as such?
As there seems to not be a deletion notice on it, or at least I cannot see one - though commons has been playing up for the past two days - can you please enlighten me to why I have been informed? I cannot see if I added the category, nor see the page history, or if I added it, whether I added it to the wiki or commons version. Thanks Chaosdruid ( talk) 12:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I think you should reconsider reverting my merger changes. I suggest you read over the AfD for Lawyers in Hell, because the merger "discussion" is merely an brief extension of the discussion on the AfD. Authors supporting to keep the article(s) on separate pages bludgeoned the process and at least some were confirmed to be authors in the series, constituting a POV concern.

As someone who is concerned about the quality and authenticity of Wikipedia, I've noticed some harm being done to a significant amount of articles in which you have worked. I've noticed that there have been a lot of reverted edits regarding members of the Ohio General Assembly for quite some time now. I wanted to make sure that you understand the dynamics of this problem. While I appreciate your concerns of policing Wikipedia, there are significant reverts that have effected the integrity and have nonetheless dated articles. Plus, some reverts have not allowed for resignations and other recent events to be demonstrated. While there are problems addressed by you in regards to Wikipedia's safety in which I appreciate, please don't revert non-infringing information just because of that reason. For example, the articles Ohio House of Representatives, 129th Ohio General Assembly, Robert Mecklenborg, Kris Jordan, Thomas C. Sawyer, and Jarrod Martin are all now dated due to reverts. Please refer these to an administrator who knows about ohio elected officials to see if he can fix them. Thanks, from a concerned Wikipedia enthusiast. SantaCristina ( talk) 13:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

At the top of your user page you say:
I'm afraid you were way too bold in the edits, or moves, you did over the weekend to:
Whatever reasons you may have had for moving the previous versions of these articles to their new locations, you have made it necessary for a huge amount of work to be done to resolve the problems created by the moves, i. e., links all over Wikipedia now pointing to wrong articles. I see that you're doing a huge amount of editing and moving and can't believe you had a chance to give serious consideration to what would need to be done after you moved these two pages.
I tried to take you up on your suggestion and move the two Winans pages, and their talk pages, back to where they came from, but I obviously don't possess your skills and was unable to accomplish this task.
So, Qwertyus, I implore you, please undo what you did July 30 and put these pages back to the way they were!

Please look at the button on your left, (What Links Here), before willy-nilly re-naming articles. You turn links to individuals into links to dis-ambiguation pages. For example,
you re-named
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (1864) to
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (politician). No problem so far.
you re-named
Timothy Sylvester Hogan to
Timothy Sylvester Hogan (judge), still no problem.
Now a bit of mischief: you turn
Timothy Sylvester Hogan into a dis-ambiguation page, making links to the judge into links to a dis-ambiguation page without bothering to fix anything!

Please stop claiming that plastic bullets have been "authorised" for use on the UK mainland in 2011. They have been authorised for years, but the police were (and still are) reluctant to use them. The Times article you cited makes no claim that there is any new authorisation for their use. You have also cited Time magazine here, which is hardly WP:RS for a subtle issue of a foreign nation's politics.
To quote Time, "Cameron, who has authorized the use of water cannons and plastic bullets to combat the rioters, even though it has emerged that the police do not believe they need those things."
There are two problems with this quote - one of which is Cameron himself making a less than clear statement.
There are no water cannons. You can hardly "authorise" water cannons that don't exist. The UK's only six water cannons are in NI, and there is no way that the PSNI will let those come over to the mainland when it's still the marching season in NI and they might really be needed there in a hurry. Yet it's a good soundbite for Cameron to talk tough.
There are plastic bullets. They were there last year too, and the year before that. They have been authorised for police use in a riot situation for some years, yet have not yet been used (one case in a hostage situation). One might assume that this was due to police reluctance, given their limited tactical value and the backlash against them in NI. It is highly misleading to claim that plastic bullets have now been "authorised" for use when nothing of the sort has changed. Cameron, and some newspapers, are making this statement because they have a vested interest in talking tough. We though are supposed to be accurate and objective. Pulling up claims of new authorisations when the situation is the same as it has long been is far from NPOV.
If you insist on adding something to this article re 2011 riots (which is the worst sort of recentism, unless they are actually used), then at least make it objective. Describe the claims being made (as above) and explain how they don't actually mean what they appear to. Give the whole picture, not a spin doctor's biased propaganda of it.

I attempted to resolve the matters (in the plural) on the talk page; The disputes are the listing of lethal waeps on the page (which hasn't gotten to this point yet) and the neutrality of sources. I objected to the use of Amnesty International as a source for the "Torture" section; I let my objections to the entire section go for the time being, and focused on the source, specifically that the ONLY source given is AI, which Wikipedia itself acknowledged is NOT neutral (please see the effective talk page). When ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► himself said in essence to make the changes, I did so. (I also removed the tag.) If anything it IS ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► who is in the wrong here on two fronts; One, for disseminating dis-information (caltrops and batons are lethal weaps, both legally and realistically) and for including a source that Wikipedia itself acknowledges in highly biased.

The normal process involves the "Move" command, next to the Watchlist star in the top bar - it moves both the article and its edit history and its logs, and the talk page and its history and logs. Please DO NOT copy/paste whole articles/redirects anymore. The Move process involves deletion pending move, and so requires an admin. Admin help can be requested on IRC.
So I requested an admin to undo the copy/pastes and perform the proper moves, making "Dan" the main article, and "Daniel" the redirect, since the sources use "Dan" more frequently by far.

Just fyi, there was a discussion a few years back within Wikiproject Law Enforcement on how to title police departments. It was decided that because there were multiple agencies with the same name, there needed to be a standard within the project. The two main contenders were:
The latter won. It was done mainly because editors were writing all kinds of different ways to differentiate different departments of the same name [e.g., Pasadena Police Department (California) and Pasadena Police Department (Texas)]. It was understood that some departments are obviously identifiable in their own right (e.g., NYPD); however, for uniformity, it was decided to include the state name after all department page titles. So, long story short, that's why the state is there. Just fyi. Cheers!-- It's me...Sallicio! 23:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Please note that when you nominate a page for "Requested Move", if that page move (eg Sean Kelly (cyclist) to Sean Kelly) entails moving another existing page (here, moving Sean Kelly to Sean Kelly (disambiguation)), then you must nominate it as a Multiple page move. Otherwise, people who may be watchlisting the dab page don't get a chance to comment on its being moved: you are claiming the cyclist as the Primary Usage, when it has previously been considered, as shown by creating the dab page at the base name, that there is no primary usage. People interested in the dab page need the chance to know about your proposal. This isn't a one-off, I see you have had a pattern of making such incorrect nominations, perhaps through not reading the small print of the instructions at WP:RM carefully enough. Thanks.

Hi, I see that on 18th Sept you moved 29er to 29er (boat), stating that it was not the Primary Topic. You then created a dab page at 29er.

It is your responsibility, as the editor who moved the page, to update the links which pointed to it and which now point to the dab page.

Just thought I'd clear up something you may be unclear about. Your edit summary states that "edits against banned users don't count towards 3rr". This is true, but if an IP is not confirmed as a sock, WP:3RRNO doesn't apply. Thinking someone is a sock doesn't protect you from 3RR, even if you're sure. If an IP is confirmed as a sock, then 3RR doesn't apply, but otherwise the better course of action would be to leave a note on Q's talk page stating that the user is a likely sock, and then an administrator would be able to take a look at it from there. It isn't worth even risking getting blocked for 3RR over a sockpuppet. - Sudo Ghost 23:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Question: Has the IP editor confirmed that they are the blocked user, or is it just editing behavior that matches the banned user that is causing you to believe they are a sockpuppet? - Sudo Ghost 23:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
My roommate at Ohio State's who happens to be interested in Ohio politics (as am I) has been the one in question who is providing edit requests for these articles that Marcus is reverting. As you can see, they are all referenced by the official senate journal, making the edits requests 100% factual. It is devastating to me that his reverts of the edit requests are blatantly making all of these articles obsolete and dated. I have recently created an account to try to clear these things up, as the IP to our house has been labeled as a "sockpuppet". However, I have been afraid to make edits, as he will almost certainly block this account if I do. We need help!

I got the email...I'm just concerned here that it is inevitable that, as we approach the election, your approach is going to be too heavy-handed. It's one thing to revert the edits of a likely sock to an article--but you were also reverting edit requests on talk page, and comments on user pages. Yes, banned editors can't edit anywhere in any way, but when no actual harm is done by the edit, you need to be extremely certain that it comes from the banned editor, not from someone else with a similar POV. Perhaps in the future it would be better to go ahead and revert any article edit you suspect is the banned user immediately, but for other edits actually file an SPI and at least get a second pair of eyes on the issue. As a side note, I personally have no problem with semi-protecting all of the articles on Ohio politicians, as that actually seems to be a safer solution to me, though I imagine that my opinion is in the minority.

Hello!
You may have seen that I've reverted your claiming of speedy-deletion from a bunch of clearly in-scope articles on the basis that they were started (in some cases, years ago) by a now-banned user, with the message:
I've now seen that you claim
on Jimmy's talk that you're doing it because of copyvio concerns - but you're (a) not nominating them on that basis, (b) nominating articles out of scope of "CSD G5" (it only counts for articles created since the individual was banned), and (c) you're in danger of violating

I'm sick and tired of all the commotion surrounding these pages, and I want to help clean them up. Let me know what I can do to help. I've just created a username after using an IP for a few edits (which was blocked, by the way, apparently inadvertently). I work for Gongwer News Service, which is a nonpartisan, statehouse news bureau with a lot of knowledge about these guys.
One thing that I want to focus on is the fact that a lot of my material has been used here, and was at one point deleted, but now has returned. As a journalist, this is very insulting to me and I cannot believe that it is tolerated here. Almost all of the pages I have looked at have plagiarized my material and referenced it with other articles, which is a serious issue.

Hi
You moved the page to Sentry (submersible)
I fail to see how AUV is ambiguous and I would apreciate some further explanation. As I see it, submersible is rather more vague than AUV - which tells everyone which specific type of submersible it is.
I am contesting that move, though would rather we sort it out here than me just move it as contested as you may have a valid argument that I cannot yet discern :¬) Chaosdruid ( talk) 18:09, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

According to my memory during the Lawyers in Hell AfD discussion about merging the Heroes in Hell articles into one large article, it was decided ALL the articles were to be merged. No mention was made of leaving any of the articles separate.
When I went to merge the one remaining article, one editor got really upset saying that the merge discussion did not include this article, Gilgamesh in the Outback. I believe that the consensus was for all articles. The admin who is currently handling the dispute was not involved at the time, and needs to see a show of hands. If you have any opinion on the issue could you please make your opinion known at Talk:Gilgamesh in the Outback. UrbanTerrorist ( talk) 16:34, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello,
The correct spelling of the word e-mail is e-mail, not "email." See http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/e-mail and http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/183816/e-mail. It is a compound formed from two words — electronic and mail. It wasn't created as a single word.

Google Chrome Canary is a part of Google Chrome's (Chromium's) development project. I don't see any reason as to why it should not be included. It is a project undertaken to test more cutting-edge features so that they can be pushed into a more stable release f dev or beta and eventually into the most stable release of Google Chrome. It features the same base coding as the development or stable releases of Chrome at any given time. I would recommend that you please don't remove Canary from Wikipedia's Google Chrome page, leading to partial or misinformation to its readers and users.

For your information, a {{db-move}} tag was placed on a Redirect page you once created called Missile vehicle.

Why do you want a History Merge of Missile vehicle and User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft? I'm the only one who contributed to the User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft page, and the only thing it shows it that I wrote the article over the course of 19 edits. The User page was written because I felt the article was not ready to be presented to the public as a formal encyclopedia article until I placed in in the mainspace. The User:H Padleckas/Missile vehicle/Draft page History is junk. There is no reason to save it or show it to the public, not that it's a secret. Actually, I plan to delete that Draft User page, although there is no hurry. H Padleckas ( talk) 10:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

" I believe that is what brought Doug here. That edit summary made it look like you were moving the pages to a new name with Democratic Party (United States) in the title. What I suspect happened is that you meant to copy "(United States)" and use that as the same paste on each move from a USA title, but somehow copied the entire wiklink for the democratic party (United States) article, and then pasted that on every moved without looking at the edit summary.--

However I do have a problem with the article text and article title not being in agreement. Either *every* use of the company name in the article (apart perhaps from a "styled as "ASUS" wording in first sentence of the lead) should be "Asus", or the article should be titled "ASUS".

I will give credit where it is due, you have hung on and been persistent, and I think in a good way. My concerns are still there, but I didn't see a reason to pile. Or I could be completely wrong and your answers just aren't reflecting your usual self and you do understand the purpose of the policies better than it appears. I don't know, I can only see what I see. I can see voting for you in the future when I'm a bit more comfortable with your familiarity. I didn't see any real negatives with you, just didn't see a deep enough understanding of the reason for the policies, the nuances, which is much more important than the policies themselves.
That is the primary purpose of WP:IAR, by the way, to insure we apply the spirit of the policy first, and not just the letter. IAR is so we don't wikilawyer ourselves into mediocrity by becoming slaves to the actual wording, and instead focus on the intent of the policy or guideline, so we can ignore the wording when an action is clearly within the spirit, but not the text. This is why so many of us are hounds about IAR, it keeps us from painting ourselves in a corner, and it is the best tool to develop new guidelines, or destroy old ones. If a policy is clearly against what is best for the encyclopedia, WP:IAR says we need to change that policy and should ignore it until we do. At its heart it says "Do what is best for the encyclopedia, rules be damned", and that common sense always trumps written rules. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 23:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I found some disagreement in the stats of the AN/TWQ-1_Avenger article; mainly the metric weight and width have been miscalculated. Both were off by about 10%, and I corrected that in the main column.
As the "Military vehicle" taskforce member I found in its edit history, could you please adjust the data in the infobox, which I could not edit? There should be an edit link at the top but it doesn't show up for me. I hope my last edit didn't break anything... I tried to bypass the browser cache but that doesn't fix it either, I'm about to give up.
Please tell me what I did wrong - the article talk page would be fine, or put your reply in here, my IP goes up an d down between edits and I would have to come back here anyway to find what it is right now.

Thanks for the spelling fix. Obviously wasn't paying attention — I went there because I'd just moved the St Charles city article per someone else's request, and apparently I changed the spelling from the new way to the old way! Nyttend ( talk) 20:08, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

FYI: In anticipation of your April 2012 plan to create an article on Phablets, I just changed the redirect you created, pointing it to a section in the Tablet computer article instead of the Tablet (disambiguation) page it was pointing to before. 67.101.5.248 ( talk) 20:15, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Unless I missed something City of New Orleans wasn't covered by the discussion at Talk:City of Los Angeles, and I don't think it should have been moved. If someone specifically looks for "City of New Orleans," they're probably looking for either the song or the train that inspired it. Mackensen (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
And you broke a crapload of redirects with these changes. I can see several train articles where the link to City of San Francisco alone now links to the wrong article. If you're going to change the target of a link, please go through other articles to fix what you broke. Otherwise you are causing disruption by having to have several others fix your mess. Note that California Zephyr alone has 3 or 4 broken links now. Dave ( talk) 14:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to encourage you to start a St Louis page with Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes America#Event page wizard. Or you can do the same at the regular St Louis meetup page if you like.-- Pharos ( talk) 01:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

== Your invited to Take St. Louis! ==
Dust off your Polaroid camera and show off that inner photographer in you. The first-ever Wikipedia Takes St. Louis photo hunt kicks off Sat, Sept. 15, around noon in downtown St. Louis. Tour the streets of the Rome of the West with other Wikipedians and even learn a little St. Louis history. This event is a fun and collaborative way to enhance St. Louis articles with visual content. Wikipedians of all skill levels are welcome! Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 05:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I know that it was not an CSD concern, but I would still like it merged with Kindle Fire. Can you guide me through that process?

Hi Marcus! I saw you've put some effort into cleaning up the Wiknic-type pages earlier; do you think you might want to take a go at "prettifying" the Wikipedia Takes America 'confirmed-planned' events sections, maybe even with tables or something? If we find a decent solution here, this might be applicable to all sorts of future USA multi-event campaign planning.-- Pharos ( talk) 19:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
All I can think of right now is Confirmed and its counterpart, Possible. My event in St. Louis is still a go (I'm willing to travel 100 miles and back by bike to get there) but I haven't gotten the response I wanted. I emailed three organizations including the Missouri Natn'l register and nobody has responded. Any ideas. Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 06:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey Marcus, I wanted to quickly discuss this page, looks like you first created a redirect-placeholder for it back in April, since then a few other editors have cobbled together a stub of a page for it. Now I consider myself an inclusionist but I'm seriously wondering if this page is AfD worthy, of course I don't want to nominate it myself as I recognize that I'd have a hard time adopting a NPOV on the issue as I personally think that it's a stupid label created by tech bloggers, and it seems that most of them have even given up on using it. The article as it exists now seems to be poorly sourced and should be deleted per WP:N but I'd like to see someone a little more NPOV take a look at it.

Hi Marcus Qwertyus. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.
If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.
If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲 水 09:10, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Mobli screenshot.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Any thoughts on this upcoming event?-- Chaser ( talk) 04:21, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Marcus Qwertyus! The Missouri Botanical Garden is currently working on the Art of Life project, which might build a very useful collaboration with the Wikimedia Commons. They plan to use computational techniques to identify the hundreds of thousands of illustrations in the 39 million pages scanned and published online by the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). The identified illustrations are going to be pretty metadata-poor: the BHL only has bibliographic information on each book, and won't be able to add much more information to the images. The BHL is thinking about uploading these illustrations (those in the public domain, anyway) to the Commons, where they could be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles and (hopefully!) have additional metadata added to them.
I worked with the BHL over the summer preparing the groundwork for this process, including setting up a collaboration page, setting up a category and creating a template for BHL metadata. But the next step -- building bridges between the BHL and the Commons -- is going to be critical, and I'd really appreciate your help in making that happen. User:Pharos suggested that you might be interested, or know other St. Louisans who might be interested, in working with BHL and the Missouri Botanical Garden. I think your experience in tracking copyright on the Commons will be incredibly useful to the BHL in planning this project!
Let me know if you'd like to find out more, either on my talk page or by e-mail ! -- Gaurav ( talk) 06:38, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
You says "Yes, it is a proper noun". But Apple uses "iPad mini" in its materials, e.g. https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/10/23Apple-Introduces-iPad-mini.html "Apple Introduces iPad mini".
May I also ask you not to modify TITLEs of external articles (linked in the <ref> </ref> tag) like there: diff :
- [https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/10/23Apple-Introduces-iPad-mini.html Apple Introduces iPad mini] + [https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/10/23Apple-Introduces-iPad-mini.html Apple Introduces iPad Mini]
