AfD nomination of List of shibboleths edit
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of shibboleths. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of shibboleths. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Welcome and good job edit
It is sad how many times the first thing on someone's talk is a deletion notice. I apologize that no humans have contacted you to offer help. As you get to understand the community you will find that we are much friendlier than the warning signs.
You may want to check out the template I am going to add below. I see you have been active for while and have been helpful and useful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk. Sadads (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Y edit
Hello. I wish to thank you for your contribution to the Asterism article.
Also prominent is the large Y formed by Arcturus, Gamma and Epsilon Bootis and Alpha Coronae Borealis[1]. This is more apparent than the "kite" or "cone" in light-polluted skies which render the fainter stars of Bootes invisible or difficult to see.
However, I am sorry to say that what you have written has some flaws. As I am offended when someone wipes out my work without explanation, I feel that it only proper to tell you what, exactly, is wrong.
- Comparing the Y with the Kite is superfluous. It is unnecessary to contrast the visibility of one asterism with another.
- The section that you modified is Constellation Aliases. Your "Y" not only is not an alternate name for Bootes as a whole, but also includes Alphecca in Cor Bor. Thus the grouping would be more properly placed in the Cross-border section.
- Most crucially, your Y is not actually a named asterism. Notice that the reference mentions only "a Y shape," not "the Y asterism."
For these reasons I have deleted the entry. However I wish to emphasize that that you should continue to edit Wikipedia. Better luck next time. B00P (talk) 05:51, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
August 2011 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article 2011 England riots, please cite a reliable source for your addition.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Shrewsbury School. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. - David Biddulph (talk) 01:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for January 8 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bayer designation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Asterism (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) 09:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

August 2016 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Time zone, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 15:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
