Bill Cosby

I just accidentally hit the vandal revert button to remove your edits to the Bill Cosby article. I'm sorry! I intended to hit the "undo" button and leave an edit summary describing how Cosby's one outburst about Gingrich has not yet attained the kind of notability for an encyclopedia article, the kind of notability that would come from people quoting and discussing his comment in other major media. Also, the tone you set was not encyclopedic, using the word "slammed" to describe Cosby's comment. Binksternet (talk) 04:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Why put the "Donald Trump" comment on a wikipedia page about a comedian? People say lots of things about other people all the time, why is it so important that you have to add it to his page? Defza (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

It's something that he said, and it speaks a lot about his public views. Have you seen the article on Lil Wayne? Why is it important to have a part about President Barack Obama's references to him? MarkMadrona2011 (talk) 00:43, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175

Dear MarkMadrona2011,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines#The Cybercrime Prevention Act, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah Geronimo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Psy (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.
