If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.
If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 16:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)Hi there.
I was thinking about trying to increase the level of involvement in this project. Not necessarily in terms of numbers, but seeing if we can get people involved with the project itself. It's a small one but I think it's got a lot of potential; looking at the editors and good quality articles on the project there are some good editors with pretty diverse interests around (transport, sport, geography, music, history, politics, mills, lists in general), and I think there's a lot of potential for some fantastic collaborative work if we can figure out a way of bringing it all together. For instance, a good or featured standard article in the county itself or the major towns would benefit from all of these areas, and I imagine the "finished" articles would be wonderful things. Just wondering if you had any ideas? WFCforLife ( talk) 18:00, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, after reading one of your articles at newpage patrol I was surprised to see that an editor who has contributed as much as you have over such a long period hadn't been approved as an wp:Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of rectifying that. Ϣere SpielChequers 23:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

New game started.
Rather than forever repeating A-G, I've started a B-H game. Game 3 would logically be C-I and thus onwards to T-Z and then U-A, but there is nothing stopping game 4 being Q-W or even W-Q.
I thought it might add a bit of variety to proceedings and hope you don't disapprove. Thryduulf ( talk) 23:58, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:2007 rainbow.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Nope, the title was clearly incorrect prior the move. Seems pointless to wait 5 days to wait for something that can be moved now. Lugnuts ( talk) 18:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

A page you created,
St Albans Cathedral and Abbey Church, has been tagged for

criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it redirects from an implausible misspelling.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our
content policies and any applicable
inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our
introduction to editing and

Please check out this new guideline. I picked up pieces from the MOTD pages and added some rules of my own. Please comment on its talk page or WT:MOTD. Kayau Odyssey HUCK FINN to the lighthouse BACK FROM EXAMS 06:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Although it looks like a joke page, it's not primarily a lame attempt at Wikipedia humour, but a (quite elaborately worked out) reductio ad absurdum of the increasingly hysterical arguments at Wikipedia:Petition against IAR abuse (itself a response to the WMF-sanctioned mass deletion of unreferenced biographical articles without going through the traditional deletion process, on the grounds that "potentially defamatory" overrides Wikipedia's internal rules and thus is a legitimate use of IAR).
Unless you're prepared to get involved in a particularly spectacular argument between the unlikely alliance of Jimmy Wales and the Wikipedia Review on one side and many of the "old school" admins on the other, I would really strongly suggest leaving this. – iride scent 21:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Iridescent is correct that while the page incorporates humor (rather self-evidently), its primary purpose is to illustrate perceived flaws in the petition process. To be clear, this has no bearing on the validity of the underlying concerns that led to the IAR abuse petition's creation. I personally agree with the message's essence (though not all of its wording), but I regard the format as counterproductive. — David Levy 23:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word Association/.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is London Buses route 384. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Buses route 384. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:09, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 21:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
