The edit in question was adding Category:Garden of the Gods to the image. I mistakenly though I was on a commons page, where that cat exists (see commons:Category:Garden of the Gods). Also note that I subsequently reverted vandalism on that article by 65.18.31.254 (talk · contribs) on this edit. -- 208.81.184.4 17:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thomas A. Scully

Hi, what kind of balancing do you think needs to be done on the article? I'd be glad to discuss it with you. Regards,Rich 01:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Neutering cats

If "neutering cats" is not the stable term for removing categories, then it URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE. Thanks. --Kizor 19:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't originate the term, but I'm a sucker for bad puns, so when I saw an edit using the term to describing the act of adding a colon (i.e. 2 small round objects) to a category to neutralize it, I remembered it & started using it. -- 208.81.184.4 21:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

User Name?

I noticed you have made a lot of good edits recently, and you appear to be an experienced Wikipedia user - I am curious as to why you don't have a regular user name set up. --Descartes1979 (talk) 02:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't speak for everyone that uses this IP address, but I've been told that I can use WP (including making constructive edits) as long as I don't login. I'm generally WikiGnomish, so not getting 'credit' for my edits isn't really an issue for me; an edit should be judged as valuable based on the edit itself, not the editor. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 02:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I find it a bit amusing that we have made conflicting edits under the same IP. At least none of us has been tagged as a vandal. Does Vangent somehow create a Gnome-friendly environment? 208.81.184.4 (talk) 19:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on the FAQs and such. -- Please feel free to undo the article creation (not that you have to). Again, thanks for the heads up Mr Gnome :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeb.rodgers (talk • contribs) 22:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Eli Whitney

Hi, the recent edit you made to Eli Whitney has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. treelo talk 19:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you explain more clearly why you feel this edit is unconstructive? The dif clearly shows that I am dab'ing the link to Harper's Ferry (which is a redirect) with Harpers Ferry Armory, which is what's being discussed. I also did an (admittedly short) edit summary that adequately describes what I was doing with the edit. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 19:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
After reading your talk page, I see that you frequently have made false positive identifications of vandalism, going so far as to state that "you might accidentally delete good faith contributions and warn users for them, because you're using huggle" (to quote another WP User). As you did undo your revert of my edit, I'm assuming you realized your mistake, but am a little disappointed that you did not apologize for it, as you state on your talk page is your normal course of action. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 23:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Re Removal of content

Sorry about that, I didn't see the inclusion of the wikisource external link. I'll revert to your good faith edit. Wisdom89 (T / C) 18:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Mesquite High School

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Mesquite High School (Gilbert, Arizona) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Vishnava talk 15:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain exactly why you feel this edit is unhelpful? The information is not cited, the people on the list are not notable (based on Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Lists_of_people), and is unuseful peacock strutting to include in an encyclopedia article. If you disagree that's fine, but that would be a content dispute, and using a generic vandalism warning to voice an opinion on a content dispute is inappropriate. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 19:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


Yes I see it as a content dispute, which is why you should have attempted to discuss or inform other people on the talkpage, where you explain your point based on WP:NN. The school's history of valedictorians and salutorians seems to be a good faith addition, as it has pertinence to the school's history even if it can't be carried forward into an encyclopedia. I see in the article's history that this section has been removed and reinserted several times, so it would definitely help to discuss rather than continue the cycle. A discussion also makes it easier to point out to others that adding such info is not appropriate - it wasn't a clear-cut bad addition like the "notable alumni" section that included just 2 names.
That being said, I apologize - it is obvious that you have the best intentions, and I was wrong. As a vandal fighter, I saw an entire segment of information removed without indication of prior discussion; there have been cases of vandalism where the vandal left a ripping edit summary, removing a bunch of info he/she felt should not be there without taking into account the work and opinions of other editors. Working fast and furiously to fight vandalism, I mistook your good-faith removal for vandalism, and I apologize. However, if you wish to remove the data, please do discuss it on the talkpage first, giving any interested party a bit of time to comment. Best regards, Vishnava talk 19:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
And thank you for working and taking care of Wikipedia. I am glad that you sought to discuss this, so we can clear any misunderstandings and help me rectify an error. Vishnava talk 19:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Btw, I suggest that you should create an account and edit through there - it is obvious that you are a good editor and an asset to this project, so come join us formally. Also, it will reduce the chance of people mistaking your edits for possible vandalism, as I see it has occurred before. Vishnava talk 20:02, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Children of Joseph Smith, Jr.

RE: Children of JSJr. - you are completely right. The citation is self-publishing and has been challenged before. I would suggest you delete it and any reference it was used to support. Best, A Sniper (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Life of Joseph Smith, Jr. from 1827 to 1830

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Life of Joseph Smith, Jr. from 1827 to 1830 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Ndenison talk 17:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain in more detail why exactly you think that this edit is unconstructive? If you look at this edit of the main Joseph Smith, Jr. article, you will find that User:John Foxe actually added this desc there, to clarify what is depicted in the image. As he is the person that actually uploaded the image, and added it to both articles, it would seem he would know the intent of the image, and it would be reasonable to reuse the wording he used in one place in another location for the same image. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 17:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
I reverted that one two. The quotation marks and the from his hat had WP:SOURCE and WP:POV issues. Ndenison talk 18:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
If this is the case, you better remove that wording from all the articles where the image exists. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 18:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Almera Woodward Johnson

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Almera Woodward Johnson, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Almera Woodward Johnson was changed by 208.81.184.4 (u) (t) redirecting article to non-existant page on 2008-08-07T22:39:53+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 22:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I made a mistake on the redirect, which I have subsequently fixed. This was not WP:VAND, merely a mistake. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk)
Actually after reviewing the edit, there was no mistake; List of the wives of Joseph Smith, Jr. was entered correctly. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 22:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I've deleted Sanjaya Kumar, MD for blatant advertising. However, I think his book might be notable with a quick Google search. As a result, AFD might be the way to go. bibliomaniac15 23:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

XLinkBot

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Design Build Bluff has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblogspot\.com' (link(s): http://www.designbuildbluff.blogspot.com/) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Unfortunately this automated bot reverted a lot more tidying-up that I had done on Design Build Bluff than just the external link to blogspot.com, which itself was trivial to the cleanup I was doing (see this for the actual revert performed by the bot). The external link specifically was merely copied over from ones already existing at University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning, which simply made more sense at Design Build Bluff. I understand the need to look for spam, but auto-reverting external links just because they come from an IP seems to be counter-production in some cases. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 17:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup templates

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "{{Unreferenced}}", "{{Fact}}" and , "{{Merge}}" etc., are best not "subst"ed . See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 11:20 5 October 2008 (UTC).

McConnell Air Force Base

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to McConnell Air Force Base has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. LeilaniLad (talk) 03:05, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Please explain how this edit, which added a link to Commons:Category:McConnell Air Force Base using the standard {{commonscat}} template, adding Category:Airports in Kansas to the categories, and alphabetizing the categories on the article per standards found at WP:CAT is unhelpful. Your revert with this generic warning template makes no sense without a much clearer explanation of your reasoning. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 03:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
My apologies. The software I am using will occasionally fail to recognize that I am looking at a new article after reverting multiple changes in the prior article. It was not my intention to revert your changes and I have restored them. LeilaniLad (talk) 03:33, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with cleanup tag you have added and now re-added to the Grinnell College article; it refers to WP:NOT, which does not refer to galleries as an element of articles, but only to stand-alone galleries. Wikipedia:Image use policy#Photo galleries does address the use of galleries as part of articles; specifically, it says "The determination of whether a gallery should be incorporated into an article or created at the Commons should be discussed on the article's talk page." The gallery you have tagged was created over time by several article editors, and there has been no discussion of whether to remove it. I realize that all the images and more are available in the Commons, but that doesn't mean that a subset of them would be out of place in the main article. If you feel that this specific gallery should not be included in the article, I encourage you to explain why in Talk:Grinnell College. Avram (talk) 01:47, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Grinnell College/Archive 1#Image gallery for a reply to this comment

Gallery on Michael T. Benson Article

I am just letting you know that I have removed the gallery you added to the Michael T. Benson article. Usually, galleries are frowened upon in Wikipedia articles. I moved the only image in the gallery to the infobox. Crashedata (talk) 15:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; I have no qualms with the section being removed from that article, I just wasn't going to just delete the good faith addition of a image by someone else without discussion. If you look at this diff what I did with the image was to move it up from the very bottom of the page (between the external links and the footer templates) and put it in the standard titled section, with gallery formatting. I did also add an additional image from commons, as single image galleries look lame. I also add the {{cleanup-gallery}} tag, which may be the reason why you deleted the section. I just wanted to give anyone that objected some time to do so, but 3+ months is plenty of time for this. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Ok. Well, it is removed now. There was only one image in the gallery when I looked at it. Can't even find the other image you mentioned. Anyway, thanks for replying. I just tend to let people know when I change, edit or remove something they did. CrAsHeDaTatalk 23:48, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.
I'm specifically talking about this edit. It's obviously out of character with the rest of the edits, and I know at least one user at this IP is an experienced editor, so I'm assuming the edit was by someone else. Obviously, this is either POV or vandalism or something along those lines. tedder (talk) 18:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
I'd agree that it was something like POV or vandalism by someone else at this IP. Thankfully that doesn't happen frequently from here (last previous similar edit was in June 2008). -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Yep, and 99.9% of your edits are solid. Still, it deserved highlighting. Sorry for reverting ALL of your recent edits to that article, twinkle just grabbed them. It should be right now. tedder (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The project's content policies require that all articles be written from a neutral point of view, and not introduce bias or give undue weight to viewpoints.

Thanks for updating these links to refer to the CJCLDS specific page. You should probably create a username - it gives you a level of anonymity (people don't know your IP address and therefor your approximate location or the company you work for), and allows you to keep a list of pages (a watchlist) for monitoring changes and helping keep the pages free of vandalism and personal opinions. To create a username click "log in" on the top right of the screen, then pick create a new name or something like that on the page that opens. --Trödel 19:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in US State articles

As the originator of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in ... articles for many of the US States, I was wondering if you were planing to complete ones for the rest of the states in Mormon Corridor (sans Utah, naturally — that one would be very complex & involved to do well)? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 00:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

This is a project I did not intend to do or even halfway complete on my own. If this is the case, it may take me as much as 5 years before I can accomplish creating a page for every state in the US alone to the extent of what I have done with Arkansas, California, Arizona, etc. This is not to mention the countries of the world, or even to keep all of these updated.

AfD nomination of Christian cult

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Christian cult. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian cult (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 21:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Archibald Gardner

Dear Sir,

Please identify yourself. Whoever deleted Archibald's hand written journal entry, an edited version provided by BYU, please give a specific reason. General statements like 'this blog is not sufficient' or another non-specific conclusion confuses a real man's well lived life. Archibald is my great grandfather, so I know him well. Who ever you are -- you seem not to be a Gardner family member -- in good standing --- If you are, please state your connection to Archibald, Robert, William, or Mary? Best Regards,~~ Milo Gardner 6/9/09—Preceding unsigned comment added by Milogardner (talk • contribs) 11:28, 9 June 2009

I have no obligation to identify myself, nor is there any good reason to do this, so I respectfully decline your request. Likewise descendancy from Archibald is not relevant to the encyclopedic content of his article on Wikipedia, so I refuse to confirm or deny that I have any such a relationship. However I will confirm that I have a great interest in him that is more than academic, and I also have a strong motivation to do what I can to ensure that his article is retained; the actions that I have previously taken are expressly for this purpose and my intent is to continue to support that goal.
(your sense of personal responsibility, or lack thereof, to identify yourself is odd --- an un-Wiki like)
It is a simple, core concept that WP is not a collection of external links. Likewise WP is not a directory of genealogical information. In order to qualify for a WP article, all biographical articles must document a degree of fame, achievement, or notoriety. I believe that Archibald meets this criteria, but the article about him keeps getting overgrown with platitudes and external links that detract from the quality of the article as judged by WP standards. Adding material that does not meet WP standards, such as links to self published resource, especially those that do not meet the criteria for a reliable source here on Wikipedia...
(Wikipedia's criteria are not meant to be depersonalized in the manner in which you have suggested. Your personal agenda is taking another form, a defensive slanted point of view that is censoring Archibald's own words --- that describe his life. Again, you are attempting to censor one or more aspects of Archibald's life -- all reported before he became a LDS leader --- and so forth.
In one sense, you are correct, Wikipedia is not meant to be family history service -- is that comment -- as I added at the end of the blog is bothering you -- say so -- directly --- playing mental games with words and 'unstated' personal agendas is odd and unprofessional)
...should be avoided in order to insure that the legitimacy of the article's continued inclusion here at WP is not challenged. Conversely, meeting (or even exceeding) those standards make it much more difficult for Deletionists to successfully remove this article.
As for the blogspot.com link itself, please be aware that there are Deletionists that specifically query WP for articles that use links to that site, and other similar sites, in order to pinpoint articles that might be successfully deleted. Please find another host for this material that is less likely to be found objectionable, ideally through an academic institution. Putting the current link on the article is like a little child pretending to be a Torero, waving a red cape around in what he thinks is an empty bull pen, that instead is holding several bulls that are just out of his line-of-sight. If the lad is lucky, someone will see that he is unintentionally putting himself in jeopardy, and will pull him out before the bulls even notice him. The commotion that this lad might make while claiming he is causing no harm and so should be left alone strongly resembles the fuss some editors have been making on the Archibald Gardner article over including material that does not properly belong, based on WP standards. In summary, I want the article to be retained and "kept off the radar" of those that might try to have it deleted, and your well-meaning, but ill-advised actions are making that more difficult. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 16:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

(where is the risk of deletion? That risk passed two years ago. Raising an unverified deletion strawman to justify deleting an edited well written version of Archie's life seems like double negative.

Watch the WP:AFD for any reasonable length of time and you'll see a large number of biographical articles (some not so dissimilar to the one for Archibald Gardner) deleted. Unlike almost any other kind of article, biographical articles are subject to a fairly large amount of scrutiny.

AmeriHealth

NB Articles on notable subjects can be speedied under G11 if they are promotional, which this one was and still is. – ukexpat (talk) 15:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Can & should are two different things. I think that the article can be fixed to illustrate the subjects notability, and so I removed the speedy tag. Also, as I said in the edit summary that removed that tag, a quick google hit count on AmeriHealth results in about 131,000 returns. Since the speedy was reasonably contested, please do a AfD if you feel the article is irredeemable. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I am currently doing some sandbox work on this page, should have an update some time today. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated. Removing advert information. Most data added by User:Forged12 is notable, however, is phrased as advert. Orzechol (talk) 10:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Davis v. United States (1990)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your test on the page Davis v. United States (1990) worked, and has been removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing and its related help page for more information. Thank you. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (t·c·r) 17:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Please be more clear about why you think this edit is vandalism. Your revert removed the wikification I had been doing, which included adding wikilinks, and putting Template:Infobox SCOTUS case on a US Supreme Court case article. The SCOTUS template belongs on every one of those articles, but since this article is new it was missing. Additionally if you look at WP:VAND it clearly states that good faith edits, especially something as simple as adding wikilinks, is not vandalism. If there is something else here that I don't see, please explain your reasoning, instead of using a generic warning template that in this case is essentially devoid of useful information. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 17:21, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Tabernacles

Several of your disams should go to Aedicula. Johnbod (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for this note. I see you have added a description of this usage to Tabernacle (disambiguation). I will keep this in mind, and try to fix examples of this usage as I find them.
Additionally, would you be willing to splitting out Tabernacle#LDS Church into a stand alone article for these 79 structures, with a name like Tabernacle (LDS Church)? At one time in LDS Church history these buildings were somewhat analogous to an archdiocese basilica in the Catholic Church, and many of those which remain are registered historical landmarks. There is quite a lot more that can be written on these structures, but I did not want to add that material to Tabernacle, as that article should really focus primarily on the origional Tabernacle, and should at most only have basic summary information of the other usages of the term, such as was done with church tabernacle. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Sorry - missed this - it's not an area I know anything about, so no. Johnbod (talk) 00:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Pet Loss

Thank you for your edits to this article. I stumbled on it a few days ago after putting my cat to sleep. I was not happy with the "LDS" section as is, and I think that and the other edits help. I'd prefer something more definitive about LDS beliefs about reuniting pets and their owners, but a search on the Internet didn't turn up much that was useful.--Boweneer (talk) 02:45, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry for your recent loss. As with most systems of religious belief, the LDS Church does not have a definitive answer to every question. I know of no reliable information stating that the LDS Church teaches that pets are reunited with former owners in the afterlife. To my knowledge, the LDS Church has never taught or authorized the use of the sealing power with animals, and the only relationships in the afterlife that are taught as being possible are those found within strictly defined human family relationships, via sealings. Even the early discontinued practices under the law of adoption were intended to create human familial bonds. Naturally, individuals may have their own speculations and personal opinions on the matter, but at a minimum, those could not be considered even approaching doctrinal status for the LDS Church unless publicly and repeatedly taught as such by general authorities, without being countermanded by the First Presidency &/or the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (the disagreements over evolution within LDS Church leadership is a classic example of this). -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 00:42, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page AmeriHealth has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Atif.t2 (talk) 22:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Please explain with an actual clear reason (and not just a generic, basically meaningless template) how this edit is inappropriate. As was mentioned in the edit summary, member testimonials are completely unencyclopedic; these 2 paragraphs were added to the AmeriHealth on 7 October 2009 by 173.12.26.148 (talk · contribs) who has no other edits. The material in these paragraphs is pure fluff. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 22:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
My apologies for the bad revert. I missed the edit summary and thought it was common vandal
blanking. Thank you for your notifying me about it. Atif.t2 (talk) 22:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you.  Btilm  21:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Rather than using virtually meaningless templates, please actually explain in clear wording why you consider adding {{who}} where specifics are needed and performing minor wikiknome formatting fixed on the LDS section in Christian naturism to be vandalism. Also you might want to look at Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 21:47, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me for my mistake. Since you are an IP address, I thought this was common vandalism (and I didn't know the template existed). I actually thought you were new and were meaning to say something like Someone (who?)...', which still shouldn't be done. I apologize for my mistake.  Btilm  22:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. If you wouldn't mind, please self-revert your last revert on that article, so there is no apprentice of an edit war. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I have tried to self revert it, but it can't be done because I wasn't the last person to edit the article. Don't worry, though. No one will see this as an edit war as long as they see it is crossed out and read this note.  Btilm  01:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, although I really appreciate people who take the time to correct spelling and capitalization mistakes, it's really not necessary to correct the spelling of linked articles on talkpages and in userspace. Please only correct them in article space. Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

In looking at the links you provided, Wikipedia:USER#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space indicates that one should avoid non-trivial edits to userspace pages, but I would think the minor fixes to wikilinks as I was doing would be considered trivial, and thereby allowable. Is this not the case, or am I missing something? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:17, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Likewise, at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Others' comments it states under Disambiguating or fixing links that links in others comments can be fixed if there is a typographical error, which was what I had been fixing. Is there something else about this that I should know? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:27, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, basically its considered rude to fix typos in other people's posts. Per WP:TPO: "It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct typing/spelling errors, grammar, etc. It tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting." And since the typos in the links you are correcting redirect to the correct page, there's not a problem with there being a lack of context, that is to say, the redirected link will get the poster's point across just as well. Finally, frankly it's a waste of time, and doesn't contribute to building an encyclopedia--which is hopefully what we're all here to do--but how you use your time is your business. That's all I have to say, I hope you take it under consideration. Katr67 (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the additional clarification; I found it enlightening. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 16:42, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

comb through U-I sugar?

Hi! I've moved Utah-Idaho Sugar Company into mainspace. If you have time, can you comb through it? I'm sure there are "mormonifications" and "utahifications" that can be performed. (wow, I just verbed a noun that is a nickname of another noun). I also put up the Deseret Manufacturing Company, which is where Sugar House in SLC was named. tedder (talk) 17:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Aimee Semple McPherson

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Aimee Semple McPherson has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wQxp2eeYuc&feature=youtu.be (redirect from http://youtu.be/8wQxp2eeYuc). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

I did not add the external link, merely moved it down out of the article body into the external links section. Apparently this bot could not differentiate the difference. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:05, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
