Some cookies to welcome you!  

Welcome to Wikipedia, ThomasAndrewNimmo! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Re: broken SVG thumbnails edit

See my reply to your post at w:Talk:Circuit Gilles Villeneuve#Infobox Image. I found a way around a major MediaWiki bug and listed instructions on what to do if you see it in other SVG images. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Page move edit

Why did you move Castle on the Hudson? As far as I can see, there's only a marginally-notable hotel that has the same name, but that doesn't even have an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Articles for deletion nomination of Castle on the Hudson edit

I have nominated Castle on the Hudson, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castle on the Hudson. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:34, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for July 19 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited University of Connecticut, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beaux-Arts (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.

March 2014 edit

  Hello, I'm Fraggle81. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Southbury, Connecticut because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Fraggle81 (talk) 15:58, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hah. Thanks Fraggle81. Was moving quickly and thought I was reverting blatant vandalism as opposed to restoring it. ^_^ ThomasAndrewNimmo (talk) 16:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey no worries, sorry about the templated warning, go ahead and remove it if you feel the need since it doesn't stand as far as I'm concerned. Cheers! Fraggle81 (talk) 16:21, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Hello friendly wikipedian. After quite a bit of reading to understand Wikipedia's policies on Open Proxies, I'm writing here to see if I can communicate with someone who can give me some clarity on the issue. I have recently been using a VPN to protect my web traffic from monitoring, however, as I am not behind the great firewall of china and nor am I an extremely prolific editor, it seems that I do not qualify for the IP block exemption flag. Is my only option then to turn off any VPN service each and every time I wish to make an edit to a wikipedia article or is there another solution that I might have missed? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Decline reason:

Yes, unfortunately, that is an accurate summary of the situation. PhilKnight (talk) 11:03, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Unfortunately. While they are useful for privacy purposes, they're just as likely to be used to cause trouble without consequence (esp. on Wikipedia, which uses IPs for unregistered users), which is why Wikipedia blocks any IPs that are open proxies, VPNs, owned by anonymising services, or hosting a Tor exit node upon discovery. See WP:No open proxies. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 22:44, 6 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for August 24 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tevin Campbell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jamaican. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
