Matthew Bomer and vandalism

Hey Paris1127, just thought I'd mention in reference to your edit here that claiming Matthew Bomer is gay has become a very common form of anonymous vandalism. And as per WP:BLP something that could be controversial (like someone's sexual preference) should be deleted on sight if there is no reliable source with it. Thanks and good editing!

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

Hi. When you recently edited Missouri Army National Guard, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page United States Army rank insignia (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.

A barnstar for you!

Congrats on making more than a thousand edits to Wikipedia articles, and keep up the awesome work! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:44, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I was browsing a list of editors who recently made their 1,000th edit to articles (though not necessarily your total edit count), and just wanted to say thanks for your work over the years. In other news, we're kind of alike! I started editing in '06, when I was 18 or 19. It's a strange feeling to edit Wikipedia for that long, isn't it? Cheers, Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks. Glad you took my edit in a positive spirit. Just figured you did not intend for the user page to show up in the categories. --Jeppes pung (talk) 20:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking that one day I'll be bold enough to redirect the Mossel Bay article to that page; it's a carbon copy of what the page looked like before some South African advertising firm came in and peacocked the town... Your edit is appreciated. Paris1127 (talk) 20:34, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I was in a mad dash when I made that edit and I wasn't aware that I clicked the "vandalism" option. Thanks for pointing it out. Cheers Qantasplanes (talk) 08:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages

Dear Author/Paris1127

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Methamphetamine. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please visit my Talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 21:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

 

Hi Paris1127/Archive 1. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! v/r - TP 12:33, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Devyani Khobragade Incident

Dear Paris 1127, On your intimation I looked into the edit i had made. I do not intend to start any flame wars or anything. I just wanted to put into the page the latest developments in the incident. And keeping this in mind, I even started off with " As of 26 December.." so that at a later stage these can act as guiding light for providing a timeline to the incident. As for Debating on the neutrality content-wise, would not be wise as it has been sourced from authentic places. The tone seems to be fine to me, though i have made some fixes in 2-3 sentences.

Cheers! 7Sidz

Edit-a-thon invite

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England
 

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
