Regarding edits made during January 13 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 14:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, sorry that was misdated. The edit in question was made on 21:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC) and I reverted as good faith as per policy concerns here, with the summary "Reverted good faith edits by Divide per policy concerns. Please read up on policies and guidelines. Thanks! (TW)". You are a (relatively) new user, you didn't provide an edit summary, and I believed the removal of the table wasn't really a good idea. If you want to tell me why you removed it, or you can replace it with a standard infobox, I'll revert my revert. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

You know, I suppose you're right. I just reviewed my action and have reverted back to your revision. It'll all be replaced in the next update from meta anyway. Have a nice day. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 15:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Raison d'Etre

Hi, regarding your question on my talk page, I commented out the "Raison d'État" section because it appeared we didn't have any articles on that, and because the section was lengthy and off topic from the disambiguation title. Disambiguation pages are really merely only supposed to be a list of links to articles we have, or articles we are likely to have, they're not sources of information for everything there is to say relating to the title of the disambiguation page. However, in checking around now, I see that Raison d'état is a redirect to National interest. I think it would be reasonable to have that redirect in a See also section on the disambiguation page, so I'll add it now. --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 02:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

IP block exemption

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Fred Talk 17:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Tauric acid

Hi. I've changed the page you created Tauric acid to a redirect to Taurine. As far as I can tell they are duplicates. If I've made a mistake here, feel free to change it back and let me know on my talk page. Thanks. --Lear's Fool (talk) 13:46, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Announcement Traffic Indication Message

The article Announcement Traffic Indication Message has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is one component of a networking standard with no evidence of independent notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 14:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't remember creating this article. Can I see its contents somewhere? Could you tell me what was it about? Maybe a redirect to that networking standard would be appropriate. --Divide (talk) 23:48, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of CBOR/WIP/Implementation

The article CBOR/WIP/Implementation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This appears to be a snapshot copy of CBOR#Implementations, but without attribution or referencing. This also leaves both this and the original article being maintained in parallel, with additions subsequently applied to the original location but not this article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
