Rifleperson edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to List of The Rifleman episodes 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.

To Leonard and Pinkadelica - please try not to bite the newbies, even unintentionally. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sadly, both the above editors, although possibly well-meaning were misguided. I took the time to see what was happening: you had taken a copy of List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes and were in the process of converting it to what the title said. Please carry on. But two suggestions: always provide clear edit summaries and work in User:Megant8/sandbox in the first instance. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Megant8, I apologize for leaving you a warning for vandalism since that wasn't the case and took the liberty of removing it. It's not always easy to tell what is constructive and what is vandalism, especially during heavy traffic hours when we're trying to keep up with the real vandals. Again, all apologizes and welcome to the project. Pinkadelica (talk) 05:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ack. /facepalm/ Sorry 'bout that Megan. I misunderstood your edit, and I'm extremely sorry. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 13:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Marty Ozinga edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Marty Ozinga, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Failed Congressional candidates don't meet WP:POLITICIAN, and the concrete company doesn't appear to be notable enough to justify an article on its president.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
