Hey, Deor. This IP bears watching: [1]. Seems to have veered into overt vandalism, testing our responses, with his most recent edits. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 17:35, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Sorry to have done that- you can go to the history and get those page numbers. It would be better for researchers if those two sources were better integrated into the citations list so they could easily locate the original source. -- LibraryGurl ( talk) 00:36, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for catching the problem with Robert Louis Stevenson. I thought I was reverting to the last good version, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Robert_Louis_Stevenson&oldid=698886218, that was an edit by you. I have no explanation why it landed as it did.

Hi User:Deor thanks for your edit on my sandbox on the Bighorn River. How did you find my project though? Spidersmilk ( talk) 21:39, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Deor, Nice to leave a message to you, I checked Sunrisers Hyderabad Log and I found that you set Protection to that page Here, Now that page needs protection, Some IP Users creates 'vandalism'. I had already request here, but that was declined. Please help me to Protect/Semi-protect the Sunrisers Hyderabad page. Thanking You -- Nivas88 ( talk) 17:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Deor, Nice to leave a message to you, I had already asked you to protect SRH article. At that time you said no protection need for that page, now please check that page and see how Much of the IP editing seems to consist of good-faith and create vandalism. Please help to protect to that page. -- Nivas88 ( talk) 21:10, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Divine Comedy may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. 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. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kisii School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kisii. 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.

Hi Deor, thanks for explaining that you are an admin that doesn't like long-term protection of the ref desks. Let me tell you a little story about my experience with this semi-protection and see what you think:
So from my perspective: no, wheel wars are not good, and should be discouraged. But it's not a wheel war to undo someone's protection, any more than it is a wheel war to put protection on after it has been off. Protection status can and should change, for a variety of reasons. So if I were an admin, I would just unprotect the desk whenever I saw that it had been protected for longer than 48 hours, or after the third edit request that day, or any other flexible rubric that suits me. And if some troll/vandal/banned user/ causes another admin to re-protect, that's fine too. My point is, unlike content edit wars, protection flipping on and off isn't inherently bad, it is in fact desirable, right? We wouldn't want a move to semi-protection to be immutably permanent, and we wouldn't like to never be able to protect pages. It's a think that is designed to switch on and off. Changing back and forth at the discretion of different admins is probably as good a method as any in deciding protection status. I meant what I said, and I may indeed end up going for adminship. But in the mean time, please consider that undoing a long-term protection is not a bad thing or a wheel war. Thanks, SemanticMantis ( talk) 16:16, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello Deor. Nice to leave a massage to you. At this time I requesting to give some protection to Indian Premier League and 2016 Indian Premier League. Please once check those articles and try to give the proction. Thank you-- Nivas88 ( talk) 18:32, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello Deor. I'm sorry you are tired! That's how I feel, after trying to remedy the problem I wrote you about all day. You are a genius! I tried to change the reference by adding the proper closing, but it still didn't work, so I deleted the reference altogether. Bingo! The double (and embarrassing) two sets of references, one as a list and one formatted, were suddenly gone. It's amazing how such a seemingly little thing can create such havoc. But I still have a problem! When I added text content, and all seemed fine, however, when I attempted to add an image, a similar problem occurred, with big fat embarrassing error messages at the end of the page, saying the following: Preview of references, ^ Jump up to: a b McGuire, Cara Mae (October–December 2010) "Interview: Lotti Golden: Then and Now" Helmet Hair Magazine, Jump up ^ Cite warning: <ref> tag with name Shannon cannot be previewed because it is defined outside the current section or not defined at all, Jump up ^ Cite warning: <ref> tag with name Wolman cannot be previewed because it is defined outside the current section or not defined at all. It's all so daunting! Can you help when you have gotten some rest? Thank you so much! Magdalamar ( talk) 22:43, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

You edited the Camden Yards page. Our group is working on it for a project and not everyone was here to contribute their part.
