Thank you for your recent helpful edits to the new article I've created, One Hundred Years of Evil, much appreciated, — Cirt ( talk) 17:41, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Adavidb, I see you undid my removal of the uncited sentence about "merboys" in Merman. I don't like to disagree, but am not convinced the entry is justified, for the following reasons.
Firstly, the entry in the article's lead is, I suspect, WP:UNDUE; it certainly was when I removed it, as the topic was not discussed, nor cited, in the body of the article. I see you have found it in Wiktionary, which is perhaps better than nothing, but that does not prove it isn't a neologism (indeed, the recent date there rather suggests it is such).
Secondly, since anyone can edit Wiktionary, a link there is not proof of notability.
I'd suggest that if the term is to be kept, that it be moved from the lead to the body of the article, and supported by a citation from a reliable source. It could be argued that since it is a different term (like Mermaid) it does not in any case belong in this particular article, but that can perhaps be overlooked if it's adequately sourced.

If that's the case, the MA Senate articles going back to 2000 would need to be fixed as well, along with an arbitrary number of other similar articles (e.g. United States Senate election in Ohio). Rostz ( talk) 02:35, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article SALT (quartet) 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/SALT (quartet) (2nd nomination) 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 high-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. RadioFan ( talk) 15:35, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of performers at the York Fair, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Foreigner ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You reverted an edit by me on the grounds that it has not been explained. I thought it was obvious (I wrote it but maybe I wasn't clear enough) I meant that the sentence was basically a rehash AND more importantly: offtopic (that segment is literally about public reaction to 9/11 - not a blogger's opinion in 2009) Loginnigol ( talk) 12:35, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Good thing you checked. I usually rollback automatically but for some reason didn't do it there. — alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 16:52, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Magic: The Gathering keywords may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi, under the following rationale:
Couldn't this be one of those exceptional cases where is not possible avoid linking from within quotes? Regards, EOZyo ( мѕğ) 16:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
It was amazing how you managed to clean the secretary of state column in political party strength in maine. Cou ld you help me with these structures because I have some problems still eith these things. I hope you can help me also correct part ystrength in arkansas. Thank you.-- Ιων ( talk) 14:35, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey Adavidb
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

I was just looking at some of the templates that have had TemplateData added - looks complicated to these non-techy eyes - and am very impressed by and grateful for your work there.
