Um, what? This is a user page being used for unambiguous promotion of a company. 76.102.12.35 ( talk) 05:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, with all the discussion on unreferenced BLPs at the moment, could you please at least tag articles such as Daniel Rocco and Liam Cannell as unreferenced before marking them as patrolled. Thanks.--ClubOranje T 09:18, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Shadowjams/Archive 2 - Thanks for your participation in my recent successful RfA. Even though your position was neutral, your comments were constructive and welcome. As the community has expressed its trust and confidence in me, and as you are an equal part of that community, deFacto your confidence and trust in me is much appreciated. As a new admin I will try hard to keep from wading in too deep over the tops of my waders, nor shall I let the Buffalo intimidate me.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 10:25, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm creating a page of the artist Marco Porta, an italian one. You said that I need to translate the page, but how could I do that? Could you please give me some hints? Thank you very much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teoporta ( talk • contribs) 10:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the help. I personally don't count the changes that were made as *true* vandalism. I do count it as a combination of lack of clue, lack of desire in a clue and not caring about the page other than to make sure that their organization and information is there. As you can tell from the history, that's fairly common on that page. I'd appreciate it if there was someone other than myself who watchlisted the page, can you do so?. (BTW, 99% of the actual references on the page come from one afternoon when I decided that it was find references for the groups or see the page get AFD'ed, and I wasn't even sure that I'd oppose that.)

If you would like to discuss their validity I would be more than happy too, I peronsally know Dule Hill and am thus a better reference thant what ever source it is you've been using. You at wikipedia have been less than helpful thus far, prove that history wrong. -- 68.226.125.253 ( talk) 09:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Ok, that was fast. I had just noticed that something was wrong. I had hit preview, saw that for some reason, all content had been deleted which was certainly not my intent, then apparently hit the wrong button. Before I figured out what happened and revert, the situation was taken care of. Thnx, but what I'd like to know is why all content was gone when I wanted to preview my edit? Happened a few times the last few edits, not only on en:w, but so far I've been able not to save before correcting. Trying to save this to your disc, it just happened again. Regards, -- G-41614 ( talk) 09:51, 19 February 2010 (UTC) Just saw you reverted back to before I took the pictures out, an edit I explained at the disc.

Please stop templating me without first checking to see that I'm the one vandalizing. I'm reverting a rapid-fire vandal who is adding spurious tags. Please take the time to remove the warning templates from my page. Thank you. 152.16.16.75 ( talk) 10:51, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

FYI, I've added sources to the AfD and will add them to the articles later. Can you take a look at what's there and adjust your !vote accordingly? Cheers, Jclemens ( talk) 16:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Dear sir/madame,
I am sick and tired of you moderators being annoying and over precautions. I just wanted to get rid of spoilers so that people won't get this brand new game ruined!
Now, i have to resort to vandalizing the page just to get my point across. People look to see what the scores from metacritic are and maybe catch a glimpse of the synopsis, and have the game ruined. It's not fun when this happens.
You can put the spoilers up in two months or sometime more than that after everyone who wants to play has, and find out that the biggest twist in probably video game history to be spoilt. This is bigger than MW2 and the Sixth Sense combined.
I urge you, moderator, to please get rid of the spoilers. You can revert the page back to normal, but maybe just get rid of the identity of The Origami Killer. If your goal was to make the world unhappy then fine, go ahead. It's probably all you do, it's probably your livelihood. But as a video game lover, i urge you, i beg you, i plead with you to delete the spoilers.
Yours sincerely,
"Dogtaro"

Hey There!
I am a new to "Writing" to Wikipedia. I am just trying to get familiar with all the rules and regulations. I did go through all the prerequisites of how to write an article. I then posted an article which gave two definitions for the phrase "Host Machine". When I checked today, I saw that the page was redirected to "Host". I had already gone through all the descriptions of a "Host" before I could post that because I couldn't find a description of a "Host Machine" in the contexts which I had described. If I would have found it, I wouldn't have created the page at all. Is there something which I am missing out on? Or was this related to any kind of plagiarism or something related to that? I do understand that a "Host Machine" is ambiguous to "Host", but the meaning in the contexts I had described were not there, Should I then create a sub page under host describing my meanings? For now I have undone your redirection. Please don't mind and guide me in the right direction.
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhawalparkar ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I just saw your edit of the article, looks good. Thanks. But it can definitely be developed more by people. I had come across the "How to write articles" on Wikipedia when I first created this article. In there, there was a way mentioned to leave article open to be reviewed by experts, get their comments and suggestions and then finally confirm it and submit it. What is this service called? Where should I be looking at? Thanks again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhawalparkar ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
I apologize for the stir bar edit. I did not cite a source because I have personal experience with stir bars that are approximately 6-8 inches in length and approximately 1 inch in diameter. Perhaps the wording should be changed to "many centimeters" or "1-2 decimeters." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.50.89.188 ( talk) 05:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

here you write "You both are involved in contentious article disputes." I'd like to ask you to clarify in what contentious article disputes I am involved? May I please ask you do not include in the list my edits at article talk pages because article talk pages is the place to discuss the articles, and cannot be considered "disputes" IMO. So, if you only could concentrate on "disputes" I will appreciate it very much. Thank you for your time.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 15:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. The expression you gave left 'href="$3$2$' as the value in the 'a' tag and completely removed the 'img' tag altogether. I don't know if that was down to the expression or the way TextWrangler treats them. I found another way to do what I wanted, though - TextWrangler allows for rectangular selection and pasting so I just copied the image names as a column from the 'img' tags and pasted them into the 'a' tags, in two steps as I was able to use rectangular copy and paste. Thanks for the help anyway. -- Joe Talk Work 01:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
