==Userboxes==
How do you want them arranged?  I'm going to be away until some time Sunday so you may get better response from [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]]. [[User:RJFJR|RJFJR]] 21:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

On the right and/or in groups. [[User:Smokizzy|Smokizzy]] 21:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

:Apparently userboxes can be formatted using either HTML tables or wiki-markup infoboxes.  I'm not very experienced at this.  My recommendation is look at the user pages of people who are experienced, until you find one layed out in a way you like and then copy it.  Or you can try the village pump technical section.  I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance. [[User:RJFJR|RJFJR]] 15:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

== Link to a Category ==

To link to a category put it in double brackets, then a '''colon''' (for link rather than to include the page in the categdory) then the name beginning with category: and then close with a double brackets.  Like this [[:Category:Cleanup by month]] is '<nowiki>[[:Category:Cleanup by month]]</nowiki>'. [[User:RJFJR|RJFJR]] 19:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== word association ==

There only limit on how often you can play word association is that you can not have successive turns. In most games this means that you can only add one word, and then you have to wait for someone else to have a turn before you can have your next one. It isn't generally regarded as a good thing if your contributions to word association (or other games) significantly outway productive contributions to the wiki, but this is just a matter of opinion. [[User:Thryduulf|Thryduulf]] 17:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

:I'm a much more infrequent visitor to Wikipedia than I once was, due to changed in my offline circumstances, so it was pure chance how quick the response was - I didn't even look when you posted the message!

Do you really think [[Association of Professional Genealogists]] is a '''blatent''' advertisemetn? I don't see any promotional tone. it is a stub, and needs expansion if kept. It may be non-notable.

==[[Cpl Tyler Rock]]==
You tagged [[Cpl Tyler Rock]] for speedy deletion. I've removed the speedy tag and haven't deleted it, because you gave no rationale other than "Not sure what this article is", and the article does not seem to meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. In future, please refer to one of the [[WP:CSD]] criteria when tagging an article for speedy. The article might well be deletable - it has only one source and no real evidence of notability - but it should be sent to AfD in that case, rather than speedied. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Walton_monarchist89|<span style="color:purple;">'''Wal'''</span>]][[User talk:Walton_monarchist89|<span style="color:silver;">'''ton'''</span>]] <small>[[WP:ASSIST|<sup style="color:purple;">Need some help?</sup>]]</small></span> 16:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

why did you do this:
14:48, 7 May 2007 Smokizzy (Talk | contribs) m (98,471 bytes) (Reverted 4 edits by 213.41.137.29 identified as vandalism to last revision by Coemgenus. using TW)

If you did it because I wrote ''This will be done by employee paied 25% more (in net) per hour between 35 and 39, with money from welfare'', then just know that the frnch newspaper ''La Tribune'' (lunidi 7 mai 2007) write on page 5:
«Dès le collectif budgétaire qui sera soumis aux députés en juillet, il fera adopter l'une des mesures les plus emblématiques de son projet visant à développer dans les entreprises les heures supplémentaires. Au delà de la 35° heure de travail continue, toute heure supplémentaire bénéficiera d'un bonus de 25%, mais surtout elle sera totalement défiscalisée et exonérée de cotisations sociales (salariales et patronales) de sécurité sosciale.». I did not understodd where the vandalism is.

== MoS ==

{{{icon|[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] }}}In a recent edit{{{{{subst|}}}#if:{{{1|}}}|&nbsp;to the page [[:{{{1|}}}]]}}, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because  Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect other forms of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the ''original'' author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. {{{{{subst|}}}#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-lang --> [[User:Matthew|Matthew]] 21:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]].  If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 18:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

== [[Mock Interview]] ==

Hi, have you followed the external links section to see if the subject is notable or not? have you googled before adding the notability guidelines? though the article is still stub and seconds old, you hasten to add the template. If you still insist that the subject is not notable enough, then I would request putting the article for voting, as I believe it should stay. Please, let me know what you think on my user page. [[User:Sdudah|Sdudah]] 04:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== [[William Spaniel]] ==


You recently marked [[William Spaniel]] as in the category "Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance". The article has expanded greatly since then, and I would appreciate it if you could both explain your reasons for the article being of the category or take it out of the category. Thanks, [[User:Stealthymatt|stealthymatt]] 00:12, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for removing the tag, I was going to keep expanding the text and integrating the 3rd party sources, but now it's okay. Thanks again, [[User:Stealthymatt|stealthymatt]] 02:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

== re DefCom template ==

No it's not silly, but I just figured that people would just sign it themselves I guess... [[User:Herostratus|Herostratus]] 18:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
*Ah. Well they should definitely all be parallel. The thing is, I don't know ''how'' to add the sigs. I don't think it's as simple as just adding four tildes. For instance [[User:Zsinj/Wdefcon]], which is automatically signed... but how? is the "{{{sign|}}}" near the bottom? Do you know anything about this?

==Reverting changes in [[Universidad Simón Bolívar]]==

Hi, I reverted some changes I considered inapropriate, since they were not first discussed, and lacked some base. Also, I took the time to write my reasons for doing that in the discussion page of the article. I would like to know your reasons for reverting my reversion, starting off by the fact that the university's motto is actually "La Universidad del Futuro" and not "La Universidad de la Excelencia" as you can see in this webpage http://www.usb.ve/conocer/simbolos.html (although, it is in Spanish.)

So, please, be so kind to state your reasons for your actions. In the meantime, I will not re-edit for a day or two the page, as a sign of respect to you, until we discuss properly the situation and get to a mutual agreement. I look forward to seeing your point of view. Regards, Daguerio. [[User:Daguerio|Daguerio]] 00:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC).

Great! It is nice to know you are willing to help. I did not alter the basic structure of Traditions. I fixed some typos and made it more PC. I also added some "citation needed"s, but, I would like to add the sort of disclaimer that states there is a lack of sources used in that part of the article. I am not quite sure how to do that and would like you to help me. 

Also, regarding sources, I truly want to help. Sadly, although most of the things are true in Traditions (I really know it since I am currently studying there and know those myths by heart, as everybody else I know does), I cannot seem to find sources. It is really hard, especially in the internet. I do not know if there is another way I could find sources to back those statements, maybe an interview with some authority of the university or something else. If you can think of something you are more than welcomed to help.

Lastly, I hope you like my last edit and do not find the need to revert it. If you have any comments, please, do tell me, as I am really interested in improving this article. That is all for now. Thanks for your time. Regards, Daguerio. [[User:Daguerio|Daguerio]] 00:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC).

== Apologies about the sockpuppet "articles" ==

I mega-goofed, obviously, which I so rarely do. I've tagged all the ones I created by mistake with <nowiki>{{db-empty}}</nowiki>, so you needn't do anymore, and they should all go away soon. I was attempting to categorize all the uncategorized sockpuppet categories, which I'll go do now. Correctly.

Thanks for your feedback. I changed the Prisoner of Azkaban one to a darker background to increase the contrast with the title text. Are there other ones you'd like to change?

you reverted my changes[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rodney_McKay&diff=138775454&oldid=138775346] on Rodney_McKay without a comment. I tried, as suggested by the 'Trivia' tag, to integrate "content in this section [...] into the body of the article or" to remove it. I also made a few minor changes.
Was something wrong with any of them?

You reverted the changes I made regarding the supposed location of the Pillars of Hercules, giving the reason that I did not cite a reference. Yet what is said in the Atlantis article, which is totally controversial, is not referenced. Who said that before Eratosthenes the Greeks placed the Pillars of Hercules at the Straits of Sicily? What evidence do you have for this? Please supply it, as I would be very interested to read it.

What was your thinking behind reverting 76.25.51.174's edit? I guess I'm asking, why didn't you revert 71.223.52.24's edits also? The latter's addition strikes me as not well written for Wikipedia --  clearly POV and poorly sourced. It appeared that 76.25.51.174's edit was an attempt to add NPOV although the editor didn't go nearly far enough. What do you think? [[User:Therefore|Therefore]] 21:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering why you reverted my edits to this article.  They were both valid and notable, as well as referenced at the bottom of the page.  Also, you provided no reason or rationale and did not discuss the issue on the talk page, as per Wikipedia's general policy. Try not to revert things without investigating their merit.  Maybe the editor added valuable information, as in this case. [[User:CaseyIsDShiz|CaseyIsDShiz]] 22:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

== [[SunRocket Change by Telecom_Eng]] ==

Your message regarding a revert of my edit to the SunRocket article does not make sense.  The text I added regarding the announcement by SunRocket that it is "no longer accepting calls for customer support or sales" is accurate and was published in several newspaper articles including the New York Times word for word.  Other users have word-smithed the article and provided numerous official sources.  SunRocket is reported to be going out of business and leaving over 200,000 VoIP users without service after they paid $199 for a year's worth of service.  SunRocket ..... the "gotcha" phone company.  Please explain why you sent messages saying you reverted my edit.

Just a reminder that WP-nn (WP:CSD A7) can only be used for the types of things specified, people, companies, web content, groups, bands.  It cannot be used for schools, articles about poetry, or anything not listed.  
Also, it can not be used where there is any good-faith assertion of importance--saying someone is a school principal, for example, is an assertion of importance. 
In each case, the method to use is either PROD, if you think it will not be contested, or AfD, if you think it will.

== Howz it goin? ==

We're taking on the [[meaning of life]] as a class project, to bring it to featured article status.  Any help and coaching you could provide would be most appreciated.  We also have several students with coaching pages at the VC, so feel free to choose one or more and jump right in and coach.  See the archive of coaching pages (most of the coaches' pages go way back) to see the approaches taken.  Feel free to try new approaches.

<center>Hi there.  Your username is listed on the '''[[WP:HP|WikiProject Harry Potter]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter/Participants|participants list]]''', but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project.  Your name has therefore been moved to a "''potentially inactive''" list.  If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter/Participants#Potentially inactive|Potentially inactive]]''' list to the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter/Participants#Active Contributors|Active Contributors]]''' list. You may also wish to add <code><nowiki>{{User WP Harry Potter}}</nowiki></code> to your userpage, if you haven't done so already.  Conversely, if you do ''not'' wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the '''Inactive Contributors''' section.  If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the '''Known to have left''' section.  Many thanks.</center></div>

Hiya - just a quick note. I've removed a couple of your posts to [[WP:UAA]]. Having a name which matches the name of a company isn't automatically a breach of username policy. When you use that account to promote that company, or organisation, then it is, and the account should then be blocked. A number of the reports which you've made are for accounts which haven't actually made any contributions - it could be seen as  a bit [[WP:BITE|bitey]] and a failure to  [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] to block them immediately. If, of course, they then start creating articles about the very organisations after which they are named, feel free to relist them. Thanks, and thanks for your efforts! <sub>[[User:Gb|GB]]</sub><sup>[[User talk:Gb|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Gb|C]]</sup> 19:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks for reverting vandalism ==

Hi!  You've received this templated message because you've recently reverted vandalism on [[User:TenOfAllTrades]] or [[User talk:TenOfAllTrades]].  I'd like to thank you for fixing things up, and I appreciate the effort.

The vandalism you've reverted is due to a serial vandal and harrasser that once went by the username [[User:Light current|Light current]].  He's been indefinitely blocked for a year, but just hasn't seemed to have taken the hint.  Sometimes he'll edit using an IP from one of Tiscali UK's ranges, other times he'll use a throwaway sock of some sort.  The page at [[Wikipedia:Abuse reports/Tiscali DSL]] provides the background.  Typical IP addresses are 76.76.* and  88.108.* through 88.111.*.  

If you're an administrator, it is in general safe to block indefinitely any accounts that vandalize my talk page without issuing any advance warnings.  If you're blocking an IP address, I recommend blocks of 31 hours.  Longer blocks risk collateral damage, while shorter blocks may not serve to actually prevent further vandalism.  (Previous experience suggests that Tiscali DSL IPs roll over about once a day.)  If you're ''not'' an administrator, please consider posting a report at [[WP:AIV]].  Light current typically continues to deface pages and undo reverts of his vandalism until blocked.

Typically, he will vandalize your user or talk page after you've reverted vandalism on my user pages; I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you again for mopping up. [[User:TenOfAllTrades|TenOfAllTrades]]([[User_talk:TenOfAllTrades|talk]]) 01:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Look at the issue again.  Inanimate objects like rocks cannot commit [[treachery]];  The word was most likely put there by someone for whom English was a second language.  Thus, removal of this inappropriate adjective can in no way be considered "unconstructive".  Please note that when dealing with other wikipeadians, please try to follow the guidelines in [[WP:AGF]].  This means, not reverting other people's work without discussing it first. Thanks, [[User:Overminor|Overminor]] ([[User talk:Overminor|talk]]) 05:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

== [[JACOS]] ==

I agree with you that some of the links provided on the article were spammy, but others were a [[WP:AGF|GF]] attempt by the article's author to address the issues coming up in the [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/JACOS|AfD]]. I've restored some of the better links. Please be careful when undoing edits without an edit summary; I had no idea what you were doing until I checked the author's talk page. Despite the addition of sources, I'm not withdrawing the AfD, so if you feel they're inadequate, I encourage you to voice your concerns there. Thanks. --[[User:Nsevs|<font color="#000066">Nsevs</font>]] • [[User talk:Nsevs|<font color="#999999" size="-3">Talk</font>]] 21:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

<big>'''Now with 200% ''more'' Jewishness!'''</big><br>
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, ''and'' WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, [[User:L'Aquatique|L'Aquatique]].

<big>'''A Special Dispatch'''</big><br>
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly [[WP:DICK|dickish]]) to call someone an anti-semite ''when'' they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a [[Godwin's Law|Godwin-esque law]]. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.<br>
<big>'''In the News'''</big>
*A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s].
*There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see [[Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views]] to weigh in.
*Thanks largely to the efforts of [[User:Xyz7890|Xyz7890]], a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See:  [[Template talk:Halakha]] to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved.
<big>'''To Do'''</big>
* The [[:Simple:Main Page|Simple English Wikipedia]] is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is [[:Simple:User:Eptalon/Religion-related_worklist#Judaism|here]] and a more extended list is [[User:John_Carter/Simple_English_wikipedia#Judaism|here]]. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: [[:Category:Top-importance Judaism articles|Judaism]] and [[:Category:Top-importance Jewish history-related articles|Jewish History]]. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list)
:*[Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact [[User:John Carter]].
*WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

<big>'''"Censorship" of names of G-d'''</big><br>
There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh]].

<big>'''Article Cleanup Lists'''</big><br>
[[User:B. Wolterding]] has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: [[User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings]] and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on [[User talk:B._Wolterding|his talk page]].

<big>'''In the News'''</big>
[[Image:Wikipro.JPG|75px|left|The Jewish Barnstar]]
[[Image:The_Jewish_Barnstar.png|85px|left|The New Jewish Barnstar]]
*There is a collaboration drive to get [[Holocaust in Lithuania]] to [[WP:GA|good article]] status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or [[User talk:Piotrus|contact User:Piotrus]].
*WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article ([[Diane Keaton]] and [[David Beckham]], respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with [[Kabbalah]]. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject.
*After a rather heated discussion, there are now ''two'' barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{tl|The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{tl|The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar!
<big>'''To Do/Help Requests'''</big>
*If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named [[Moshe Idel]]. According to [[User:HG|HG]] there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for [[WP:DYK|DYK]] if the finished article is eligible.
*The folks at [[Shimon Peres]] need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see [[Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday]].

== [[Spoke card]] ==

Thanks for deleting that tres charmant message by User:76.167.245.94. The user has once (3x) again inexplicably deleted half the [[Spoke card]] article, but I'm not an administrator, so I can't actually do anything. Do you have any advice? This not exactly an article that I would have anticipated being controversial in any manner :) Thanks, -[[User:Uyvsdi|Uyvsdi]] ([[User talk:Uyvsdi|talk]]) 00:49, 23 November 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi

== The chico debarge page ==

SMokeizzy, I had the pleasure of talking to Fastily about the chico debarge page. The person editing Chico's page has no facts to back up the potentially libelous charges re Chico having 7 kids and being involved in paternity suits. Fastily agreed with me and issued a warning to the person making that claim. Here is Fastily's warning to that person:

"Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Chico DeBarge. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)"  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Realitylogger72|Realitylogger72]] ([[User talk:Realitylogger72|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Realitylogger72|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== You are now a Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|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 [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 17:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

== Question! ==

Hi there! Sorry for bothering, but it is the first time I use Wikiversity and I'm with a doubt. You see, I'm trying learn HTML (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/HTML) and there asks me to sign in ("Please sign below if you are participating in this topic.

== Rivonia Trial Neutrality ==

Dearest Smokizzy:

You summarily reverted my edit of Rivonia Trial on NPOV grounds and kindly invited me to comment here.
 
The original edit read "acts of sabotage designed to overthrow the apartheid system."
My edit read "acts of sabotage designed to overthrow the South African government which then imposed a legal system of racial discrimination called Apartheid."

This is basically the difference between saying a bomb was planted near Hitler to scare him into reconsidering his racist policies versus saying a bomb was planted near Hitler to kill him and overthrow the Nazi government because of its racist policies.

It is my understanding, right or wrong, that the ANC was explicitly revolutionary and it sought to overthrow the white minority government of South Africa whose oppressive policies, including apartheid, it found intolerable.    This is widely held belief.  You may certainly disagree with it.  You may think the ANC were merely terrorists trying to coerce the SA government through violence.  That's fine.  I think they were revolutionaries.  I may be wrong.

So there may be a dispute of fact as to what exactly the bombing was designed to do.  However, after careful consideration, you concluded that my edit was somehow "less than neutral".  Can you explain to me exactly how my edit is "less than neutral," while your preferred edit is simply "neutral"?  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.252.69.124|67.252.69.124]] ([[User talk:67.252.69.124|talk]]) 00:17, 9 December 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Merbau article ==

Dear Smokizzy, 

We are legal from PETRONAS. We noticed that the content of this Merbau Article is severely incorrect, ie. the name of the fields and the company names are not in existance. Thus, we edited it in order to avoid misrepresentation.  

Please DO NOT revert the article back to initial. Or else, we will report your account to WIKIPEDIA as well. 

Appreciate your understanding. 

THank you.

 Makaziwe Mandela did not attend Waterford Kamhlaba (from one who did!). If you go to their web page you will see that Zenani and Zindzi (the daughters of Madiba and Winnie) are listed as famous alumni but not Makaziwe.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/57.66.110.252|57.66.110.252]] ([[User talk:57.66.110.252|talk]]) 15:13, 11 December 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== New deal for page patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},

In order to  better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the [[WP:Page Curation|current system we introduced in 2011]] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed.  However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''''New Page Reviewers''''']] and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying.
