db-nonsense

Just a reminder that this tag is only meant to be used for pages which really make no sense. If the article is on an identifiable topic but doesn't assert the notability of the person, use db-bio instead. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

User Page

Why do you want my user page deleted? PizzaBurgerJuice 02:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry. Really, I am! PizzaBurgerJuice 02:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The speedy deletion {{hangon}} templates did not belong on PizzaBurgerJuice's talk page, so I removed them. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 03:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't put them there - PizzaBurgerJuice did. Look here. -- Wenli 04:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if that confused you. I wanted all interested parties to know, and PizzaBurgerJuice was already talking about it here. You'll also see an explanation in the edit summary and on my talk page. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 04:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sacred Heart School (Winnetka, Illinois)

Hallo! I noticed you put a speedy delete tag on this article two minutes after it had been created. Probably a mistake? Some users like to create the page first and then work on content after. It seems to be a notable topic, so I've put a {{hangon}} tag on it to give it more time to develop. <3, --Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 03:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• http://www.sacredheart-winnetka.org/ ;) As a former Chicago resident, I've heard of the school, so I was able to find it easily. It will probably get speedily deleted anyway since I haven't yet gotten a response from the author, but I'll wait a little bit longer. --Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 03:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 19:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Squadron Supreme

Hello. Just had a question about some of your typo corrections. I'm all for proper spelling, but it struck me that some of the words you corrected were the English spelling as opposed to American English spelling (for example, 'behaviour' vs. 'behavior' and 'realise' vs. 'realize'). Would those actually be typos? Is there a consensus as to which English rules are being used on these entries? Thanks. Starmiter 01:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me - just wanted to be clear that I wasn't trying to criticize, but clarify as I'm still learning the ropes - thanks again! Starmiter 04:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

New article

I see that you voted on the AfD of Robert Arbuthnot (auditor). I just thought I would tell you that I have now put together an article on the Auditor of the Exchequer in Scotland. Regards, David Lauder 16:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to the user warning templates

Hi there, I have reverted your edits to the test, delete & vandalism series within the user warnings templates. Currently there are 140 templates in the uw- series of warnings and your partial edit removes one of key tenants from this system that any changes of syntax or design are discussed first and then applied to all the templates at the same time. The screw up I presume you are talking about has been discussed at length here. Have a read through and any further problems don't hesitate to give me a shout. Cheers ^Khukri 06:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reminder; I was previously unaware of the discussion you mentioned. Sorry for any trouble I may have caused. — Wenli 23:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem at all, and thanks for your message. ^Khukri 05:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:A43pic.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:A43pic.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Note: It was previously used in the article A43 (software), but that article was deleted. I did not create the article, but I added this image to it. — Wenli 02:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episodes

What was your rationale in reverting the other contributor's comment on the discussion page for List of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episodes? That contributor was simply acknowledging that he/she accepted my edit. Myasuda 01:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I am very sorry for that mistake - I was getting used to using WP:MWT and accidentally right-clicked on the page, which reverted the edit! Thanks for notifying me; I'll be more careful next time. — Wenli 01:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Myasuda 01:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk page edits

I'm curious about a comment you made on my talk page. You directed me to not delete content from my talk page, however according to WP:Talk this is not against the rules. Moreover, the content I deleted was a final warning issued to me as a first warning on a topic that I was making active efforts to discuss while the other party refused to engage in discussion with me. Despite all of this, I left the warning in place for a week with comments on the other user's talk page before removing it. Finally, much of the content you reverted was a comment that I myself made and removed because I realized it was out of place.

I know I'm a rookie here, and I always appreciate it when people take the time to help me better understand the policies of this site. Could you shed some light on this for me?71.232.251.153 00:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors

I'm very sorry I haven't had a chance to welcome you earlier, I have been incredibly busy lately. We are glad to have your help. Currently, we have really cut down the backlog of articles in need of copyedit. Therefore, a major goal at this moment is to identify new articles that are in need of work. When you run across them, be sure to tag them for copyediting.

If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to drop me a line. Trusilver 21:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

AWB edit to C

I have reverted your spelling correction to C, as given the context the spelling "sence" was probably intentional there. Anomie 13:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my mistake; I should have seen it and not have inconvenienced you. — Wenli ^(contribs) 23:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

I don't know what you are talking about. Firstly, this is my personal computer, nobody else uses it. No one. Secondly, in all my time using Wikipedia, I have never, ever, went to the "Pope" page, except for now. You must have made a huge mistake. 74.12.216.154 22:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think that I made a mistake. As you can see from this diff, you indeed made an edit to Pope. — Wenli ^(contribs) 02:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Their current IP address did, in April. That doesn't necessarily mean that they owned that IP address in April. Many ISPs do not assign fixed addresses to customers; they are "leased" for periods of time, usually a few days to a week. After that point, they may try to renew, but could easily be given a different IP address, and their previous address could be given to another. That said, many people do retain their IP address for long periods of time, and so you may well be right. But a gap of months is too long to be certain, unless you have other information confirming it. GreenReaper 07:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
