My comments were perfectly constructive, you intellectual pygmy. SUICIDE INTERVENTION IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.131.217 ( talk) 23:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I'm the one who inserted the invisible tags on List_of_oil_spills the other day. The reason behind the edit is, with the page in its current form (i.e. after your revert), you can't get the table to sort according to date correctly. Workaround for this is:
I wanted to go for no.2, but the month name will be shortened to 3 letters (e.g. 16 Apr 2007 for April 16th). I think it's more readable in its current form, so that's why I opted for no.1. So what do you think? By the way, I referred to help:Sorting while doing that.
(But really, I personally prefer no. 2 as it makes the markup more readable and saves bandwidth. Then again, I'm a bandwidth conservation fetish ;) )

Hello. Your bot is changing most reqphoto's I've been adding. Do you know where and when the change was decided upon? The new template would be slightly longer to type in, and thus less convenient. Zigzig20s ( talk) 16:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
{{
reqphoto|in=...}}
is less convenient. The advantage of {{
reqphoto}} is that it permits categorizing an article under not just its location but also its subject matter (e.g. {{
reqphoto|cats}}
). The bot adds these category tags wherever it can, to make sure they get seen by more editors. Thanks for your interest!

16:50, 11 April 2009 (UTC)Saw your comment here. I just wanted to let you know that there is a way to make dates work in sortable tables. See {{ dts}}. Dabomb87 ( talk) 16:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
I have reverted your last additions to the template holding cell. The TfDs you linked to were not closed. You may want to mark the related templates as WP:CSD#T3 instead.-- Rockfang ( talk) 03:36, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
I just went through Category:Articles which may no longer need images, checking a few US places, and was surprised to see that the bot is currently assuming that many cities don't need photos because they have maps with certain names: see Biggs, California for an example. Could you perhaps modify it so that files including "Incorporated and Unincorporated areas" are treated as maps? Many US states have maps like the Biggs map for all their municipalities, and virtually all maps of this sort are "COUNTYNAME County STATENAME Incorporated and Unincorporated areas COMMUNITYNAME Highlighted".

Thank you very much for your help with the "of" parameter in the photo request tag at Talk:Aquascaping. That page is a sort of pet project of mine, and I appreciate the assistance. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 19:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't realise one existed over at Commons — Splarka wrote this one for me (it wasn't ported). As for the downsizing, perhaps it was simply an agreement with TinEye to avoid unneeded bandwidth use by reducing dimensions pre-comparison. My JS knowledge is basic at best, so maybe consolidating the scripts should be left up to you and he (if he is up for it, of course). :) — neuro (talk) 13:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice to stimulate discussion with other editors concerning my edit of the Denmead article.

I apologise for reverting the bot so abruptly, I was under the impression that the bot already added that tag and it was removed previously, but I had it mixed up with the Prague Spring article (which does have the "of" parameter). I believe that was is specifically being requested is a picture of the invasion itself (of which there is only one picture). Thanks. The Dominator Talk Edits 22:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading the wonderful photo of the candlelight vigil for George Tiller. It's so rare to see photos of that sort on Wikipedia. I wish I could have been there. Regards, Cgingold ( talk) 03:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Just to say - your speedy deletion of the S1L3NC3 page - it would make sense if you did not know who he was - being American - you probably haven't a clue who Derren Brown or even Paul Daniels are. It is similar to your Phenomenon series. As with the Arctic Monkeys - you seem to be abrupt to delete things if YOU haven't heard of them. Now the Arctic Monkeys are one of the biggest bands in the UK. Show something doesn't it. Just my 2 cents.

Hello Twp, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I removed the speedy deletion tag from Second Glance (film)- because: No such criterion: the reason given is not a valid criterion for speedy deletion. Use WP:PROD or WP:AFD instead. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions, please let me know. decltype ( talk) 10:29, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for noting this — there's no county border issue involved, since all MA municipalities are in only one county. I'm going to move the school to the Middlesex County list. Nyttend ( talk) 21:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello Twp, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation has been removed. It was removed by Phil Bridger with the following edit summary '(contest prod - the BBC source and many others found by Google News searches demonstrate notability)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Phil Bridger before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

Well, other than sending you a copy of my driver's liscense and SS card, guess I can not prove that I am Nicole Couch and why would I not want to edit my own page and why should I not be able to do so.

While I fully respect the work you do for wikipedia and understand why you would discourage users from editing their own wikipedia page - I highly doubt you will ever find any editing done on my part that is self-promotional - my purpose in editing is to achieve the exact opposite - all information on the Nicole Couch wikipedia article is 100% accurate and I would like to keep it that way. Honestly, I have checked the other articles you address with editing and my page is so irrelevant - could you please this one time, let it go.

You're right Tim, the article should be focused on the article writen by Mr. Wilkinson and not the origin of playing cards. There's already an entry on the Chinese origin of playing cards on the Playing cards article, so merging both would most probably be considered a redundancy. You, see, I for one never tag articles, instead I go look for reliable sources myself and fix that which I presently consider inacurate or badly writen. Could you help me re-edit that article Tim ? C'mon, I know you could do that ! Krenakarore ( talk) 14:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a friendly note on Glance Magazine. I declined the speedy because it's not fundamentally an advert (although the mission statement section could certainly go).

I disagree with your deletion/redirection of the above-referenced page. This technology is unique and growing quickly in both the number of available applications and its market acceptance. It has won five major international design awards. The article is well-referenced and contains a dozen secondary sources that attest to its relevance. It is factual and contains both positive and negative information about the technology. It is much more neutral and factual than the article "Rohloff Speedhub", which has been flagged as advertising but not removed. I believe the article can be improved, but it certainly does not deserve to be deleted and turned into a two sentence redirect inside the Continuously Variable Transmission article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samstone1972 ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
