You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I reviewed your new article, and overall, it's OK. You have a number of statements which need to have a source cited. The source cited for the Housser quote does not contain the quote. I noted that on the article's discussion page. You need to modify your source for the "Bills.com #3 in the Hot 100 Fastest Growing Companies" statement. Please see the article discussion page for that explanation. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Mgreason (talk) 15:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I have posted a reply to your request for feedback for Andrew Housser. You can read it here and reply, either with a question or to simply acknowledge it. Anyways, good luck and happy Wikipeding!
Note: If I forgot to remove the "New Unreviewed Article" notice or you asked me to publish it to main space and I forgot, feel free to tell me and I'd be happy to do it for you!

In a recent edit to the page Mary Jane Kelly, 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 national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. 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 Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 15:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
FYI
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Freedom Debt Relief: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -FASTILY (TALK) 18:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Block evasion
Block evasion is when an IP address or account is blocked, but through other means, the person behind the original IP address or account uses another IP address or account to still edit, evading the block placed on the original.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. What does WikiPedia do in those situations? I would assume they would block by IP when they block a username. Am I wrong in that assumption?
- We just block the block evading account(s), and sometimes if possible, extend the original account/IP address' block. If we aren't sure, we have a tool called Checkuser that allows some users to look at the network data of users and draw conclusions. You may also want to take a look at autoblocking.Jasper Deng (talk) 20:28, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. I read into the Autoblock thing, how do I go about doing that? The guy that was blocked created a very obvious new account and did the exact same thing again.
