Blocked! In the future, you should list incidents at WP:AIV. A group of administrators watches the list and will block any vandals who have been appropriately warned. I'm happy to block vandals, of course, but you'll probably get a quicker response by posting on the page linked above. Cheers! -- Merope 15:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 01:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014

Motto of the Day ( WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “ This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC) reply

What are you doing?

Your edit is -16?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.117.57.245 ( talk) 11:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC) reply

The -16 refers to how many characters were removed from the page. Because the preceding person had added more characters (letters etc.), the number became negative when I reverted it. However, more characters doesn't mean that the edit was valid. Because the editor had introduced nonsense into the work, it was a legitimate revert. Stui ( talk) 11:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC) reply
