Thank you for trying, but you need to upload images before you can put them into wikipedia. You also need to get permission from the owner to upload the file. Programmer101TalkWhat I do 15:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Jay Sniatkowski

edit
 

The article Jay Sniatkowski has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.


If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Kevin (talk) 22:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Kinnelon, New Jersey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Erik Hanson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm MusikAnimal. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Geocaching— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. MusikAnimal talk 16:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Geocaching with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ~ NottNott talk|contrib 17:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just wanted to say I disagree with the previous two editors and think you were making a good faith edit to improve the article by removing what could be a backronym rather than a legitimate definition. There is a source for that meaning, though, although I'm not sure how reliable it should be considered for something like that. I suggest bringing the issue to the article's talk page and see if a new consensus could be reached. Cheers. —Torchiest talkedits 17:42, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that! It should be obvious why it was mistaken as vandalism... "swag" and variations of the word are a very common form of vandalism. Apologies and I for one will try to be more careful. Best MusikAnimal talk 17:58, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
As per my user talk: "That's pretty hilarious really. 99.9% of all edits containing 'swag' are pretty much vandalism. What a funny revert. I'll restore his change :)"
This perked my day up a lot. I've restored your change, as a google search shows that the acronym isn't that common to be included in the body of the article. Sorry about that, and thanks for the laugh! ~ NottNott talk|contrib 18:32, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was correcting a false etymology. The edit was explained. I can't for the life of me see how that can be considered vandalism. - BrianSnat
