Hello Σ. I have closed the AfD for Backyard Monsters as "delete", but I note your request to have it userfied, so I have restored it to User:Σ/BYM. Let me know if you have any questions. 28bytes (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edit to User:ClueBot_Commons

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		What you did in your recent edits to User:ClueBot Commons was very clever, and I'm sure that it will stop vandals because they only change the comments, or they will go away because they have no clue what is going on! I myself had to examine it for a minute or two to figure out what it means. What a Brilliant Idea! --Nat682 (talk) 21:46, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

MOTD

However, closing is generally overlooked if you do close a motto with 3+ other supports and no opposes. Simply south...... digging mountains for 5 years 10:08, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Adpr

A tag has been placed on Adpr, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

the creator placed a userbox template in the wrong namespace

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 21:31, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

That's weird. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 21:36, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Deleted edits

Ther's nothing really wrong with deleted contributions, they just take away from your live edit count. Also, some people judge how good of an editor you are from your edit count, soooo, it kinda messes that up.--GoldenGlory84 (talk) 02:16, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Deleted edits are included in the global edit count. It's also worth mentioning that many, if not most, deleted edits are those you made made in any articles that get deleted - including any edits that were tags for deletion or maintenance while you were doing NPP. See my pie chart for an example and see this. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:24, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Redirect bypassing

Where did your bot get approval for bypassing redirects? And what is the usefulness of making hundreds of edits to "fix" links that are not broken? Ucucha 00:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

This should suffice. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 05:06, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

And if you had a query you should've raised it during the bot's trial. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 18:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Something you might find interesting

I saw Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Calling to arms, and thought it might be something that would interest you. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the original poster beat me to them all, and anyway, I like expanding 1-sentence stubs more. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 03:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Response

Thanks very much for informing me of that point, I did that before I'd read a lot of the extra guidelines but I'm in a position now where I think that the small errors I've made in the past shall not be repeated - experience and mentorship has been very useful in that respect.

Small Question, I Need Assistance

There was a template on Yuri Andropov at the top about the contents accuracy being disputed. The user Kasatonov removed the template earlier today without a reason, and without discussion. I figured that it shouldn't have been removed without a discussion about it first, so I went ahead and reverted his edit. A few minutes later he removed the template again giving the reason "No explanation is given for the template". I didn't think that there needed to be a reason given, but I wasn't sure. I didn't revert to put the template back yet, because I figured I should ask if the template needed a reason to be there to avoid a small 'edit war', and I figured you could be of my assistance. Thanks in advance. -- Lord Gorbachev (talk) 07:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Raise the issue on Andropov's talk page and invite User:Kasatonov to the discussion. See WP:CYCLE for more. --Σ ^talk_contribs 07:38, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, will do. -- Lord Gorbachev (talk) 07:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
