Hi, on every edit page it says 'Encyclopedic content must be verifiable'. You therefore need to provide a reference so that the content of your article can be verified and checked that it meets the notability guidelines. Jimfbleak. ^{Talk to me.}16:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Minor edits

Yeah, I know that I don't "need" to spend the time making minor edits to articles; in reality, I figure I don't "need" to make any edits at all. But my theory is that every minor edit I make helps an article move that much closer to GA or FA status. If me moving an "s" outside some brackets allows someone using AWB to more efficiently or effectively search articles, it might make a big difference in the end product, just as an example. It's the reason I identify myself as a WikiGnome - I don't make minor edits instead of major ones, but I'm perfectly content to make fifty minors on the way to a larger change.

14 edits

What? Is there some new rule about how many edits I can make that I don't know about? If there is, feel free to post the link.--Zxcvbnm 02:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, you could just use the (cur) button next to my first edit instead to identify all my edits at once. No need to go around telling people to stop editing.--Zxcvbnm 02:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, I didn't know what it was either until recently. "cur" is short for "current," which means it compares that edit with the current one.--Zxcvbnm 02:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

magic number 7

I just noticed that you made some changes to the The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two article. We really need to improve that article with some reliable sources. I've added fact tags to that last section. A pdf is linked from the external links that supports most of those claims but the it is not a reliable source. It would be great to find the actual research papers that make those claims and cite them directly. ----Action potential ^{t c} 04:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Why is thoroughbred a proper noun?

Why is thoroughbred, or should I say "Thoroughbred", a proper noun? Just curious. WinterSpw 23:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Because it is a proper noun referring to a breed of horse, just like Morgan, Appaloosa, etc... My citation on this is the article on Thoroughbreds at the International museum of the horse: http://www.imh.org/museum/breeds.php?pageid=8&breed=94&alpha=Five Note the name is ALWAYS capitalized. It is incorrect to refer to a purebred animal as a "thoroughbred" [sic], the term is only to be used to describe the Thoroughbred horse. Very common error, though, especially among non-horse people. Montanabw^(talk) 23:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, any use related to horses must be capitalized...a "throughbred Morgan" is a horse that is half Morgan, half Thoroughbred, NOT a purebred Morgan. Misuse of "thoroughbred" is one of those many examples of sloppy language becoming so commonplace that no one remembers what is correct. But, I will also note that the Thoroughbred breed was one of the first written Breed registries in the world, so it is understandable that the term "Thoroughbred" instead of "purebred" has sort of gotten to be like "Kleenex" for "facial tissue" This dictionary link explains it: http://books.google.com/books?id=2yJusP0vrdgC&pg=RA3-PA905&lpg=RA3-PA905&dq=purebred+of+thoroughbred&source=web&ots=nXyQjlv408&sig=ReocOrbnIwJ8ZyJV-z9rivrLD5U —Preceding unsigned comment added by Montanabw (talk • contribs) 23:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Bounding overwatch

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bounding overwatch, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Bounding Overwatch. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 04:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I was merely moving the context from Bounding Overwatch to Bounding overwatch.. WinterSpw 04:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. -- But|seriously|folks  07:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Rome: Total War

Oh thank you so much, I didn't know how to revert all those edits at once. :) Mallerd 18:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

To revert multiple edits at once, you have to click on the green bullets next to the two edits that contain the vandalized context and then click on the upper button that says "Compare selected versions". Once you have done all that, Wikipedia will be able to allow you to undo those edits. Hope this helps! WinterSpw 23:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

"Heh couldn't help but fix your grammar" -WinterSpw

Thanks, I ususally don't care if someone corrects spelling or grammar. I know certainly that I don't know all of the formal rules of grammar, so I take it on good faith that any edit for spelling or grammar is justified... unless it turns the sentence into nonsense, or changes the meaning. Again, thanks! --Puellanivis (talk) 18:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

My revert (sniper)

My revert was because you blatantly copy and pasted copyrighted material onto a wikipedia page; which is clearly against policy (not to mention the law). So yes...when you do that I can just revert your entire edit. Batman2005 (talk) 16:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

For your information, I didn't copy and paste, I was reverting some vandalism when I came across this 'Etymology' section that was just deleted altogether along with references. I quickly assumed it was the work of vandals and took the liberty of reverting it. You knew the reference that the text came from, so why didn't you put them on the text? What are references for? They are used to check up on the validity of the text, so you should have cited the text yourself without me having to do it. You can't just go and delete an entire 'Etymology' section because you knew where most of the text came from, and you would be stripping people of their knowledge by deleting that whole thing. I personally did not know where the term 'sniper' originated from, so just cite it if you think it's plagiarism. Thank you. WinterSpw (talk) 21:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Lifting the entire text from a page, putting it on wikipedia, and then citing it to that page unchanged IS still against the "no copyright" policy. The common practice on this project, to avoid legal trouble, is to immediately delete potions (or all of pages) that are copyrighted material. That's what I did. I'm sorry it ruffled your feathers, but that's just the way it is. If you didn't originally put it there...fine, then I'm not sure why you're getting all hot and bothered by it.

Revert in Limited liability company

Your (canned) note to me claimed I removed content from the article, though I did no such thing. The "i.e." as used in that bullet point was wrong. If you don't like my change, feel free (obviously) to go with something else. But don't revert the article to a grammatically worse version, especially not if your primary complaint is that I didn't detail the change in the "edit summary" box. (I assume you are in fact examining the changes made, rather than automatically reverting changes without an edit summary.)

Since I do not have a Wikipedia acct, you can reach me at Yahoo - the username is YashaNNNN, where NNNN is the year of the first manned moon landing. (Please don't send another cut & paste note.) 98.199.120.129 (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to "Limited liability company". However, you changed "(i.e., see Virginia and Delaware LLC Acts)" to "(q.v. Virginia and Delaware LLC Acts)" without giving a coherent reason in the "Edit summary". I don't know what q.v. is, and neither will most people, so I reverted it. If you see my userpage (User:WinterSpw), it says in the first subsection, first line, "Important: If you're going to edit an article, always remember to give a reason for the edit; otherwise it will be assumed to be unsourced and may get reverted." Thanks again. WinterSpw (talk) 16:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't check your user page before making the first change. The very first line of said page is your claim that you fix (i.a.) "grammatically incorrect ... articles." But if you "don't know what q.v. is," how do you know whether it's correct? Do you go around reverting other changes just because -you- don't know what they mean? The ironic thing of course is that you could check WP for q.v. (and be redirected to the page for Latin expressions). But that's OK - I went back and dumbed down the LLC change - I even included a summary. And yeah, I am being a total jerk about this... but don't present yourself as a grammar maven if you're not one. Speaking of which, why didn't you fix the incorrect use of i.e. in the first place? Didn't you see it was wrong, or are you simply more hung up on reverting changes without edit summaries? That i.e. error was part of the article at the time of your first revisions, which pre-date mine by at least a week.  :-) And with that, I will leave you with the last word. -Yasha PS. You will also find i.a. on the Latin expressions list. 98.199.120.129 (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

response to Emperor Yazdegerd III's death

yes, i read through the article by Frank Wong, Pirooz in China at [1]. you can read it at the first line. thank goodness i got the response quickly though because the usage on wikipedia article editing is complicated. Xmlv (talk) 16:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

so, the reference is approved? that's good. I was saying that it's not easy to use wikipedia using the advanced tools. i could only know how to use the tools in the article editing page. by the time you read this, i had signed in already. Xmlv (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

actually, it's the difficulty of making use of the wikipedia tools like create an article, linking different languages of articles, needing verifications of photos and so on. i tried to find a communication channel directly to the wikipedia management giving the feedback that it is not user-friendly to the user like me; the complexity nature of the wikipedia. Xmlv (talk) 17:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

.... not being user-friendly in the sense that the wikipedia is being complex. let me give you a scenario, there was one time i wanted to create an article about history. as a first timer, i found that i had to read through all those articles only about manipulating article which i knew i had to spend hours or days to do it. so, i gave up.

because of that, i'm not so happy on how wikipedia arranged the tutorial to the beginners. i just wanted to know how to simply create an article, get picture verification, upload picture, the availability of tools on the page of article editing. if you studied IT before, it's like concept of being use-friendly of a software. graphical, simplicity, availability and of course friendly.

USS George Washington revert

You'll notice from reviewing my contribs, that I reverted that edit not for grammar but for unsourced information, as evidenced by the warning I left on the talk page of the IP that made the edit.

accuracy of death of emperor yazdegerd III

hi there, not sure if you remember that i have entered the new edit the emperor's death in histoy of Sassanian Dynasty using this reference [2].

i found another reference here which is from another article of Emperor Yazdegerd III. it directs to [3].

here's what it says:
"An Arab victory at Al-Qadisiyyah in 636/637 was followed by the sack of the Sasanian winter capital at Ctesiphon on the Tigris. The Battle of Nahavand in 642 completed the Sasanids' vanquishment. Yazdegerd fled to the empire's northeastern outpost, Merv, whose marzban, or march lord, Mahuyeh, was soured by Yazdegerd's imperious and expensive demands. Mahuyeh turned against his emperor and defeated him with the help of Hephthalites from Badghis. The Hephthalites, an independent border power, had troubled the Sasanids since at least 590, when they had sided with Bahram Chubin, Khosrow Parviz's rebel general. A miller near Merv murdered the fugitive Yazdegerd for his purse."

so, i don't know which one shows the historical evidence is more accurate of the emperor because the former emperor death was not stated clearly? i felt that the article seems to be having political motivated?
Xmlv (talk) 16:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

actually, i did mention that issue in that talk page and of course there is no response so far. just that, i'm thinking if there is help around the forum, i would take the advantage to do so. now that i know what you are capable with something, so it's ok. nice talking to you.

The article " Sniper " and mention of Norwegian specialforces

I see that the info I posted regarding the range of one shot fired by a Norwegian specialforces soldier and the source of this info has been labelled with " ".

The info is correct and the article is siting sources within the Norwegian armed forces. The insident has actually been under investigation in Norway. Not because of the range of the shot, but because of the ammo used. it is normally not intended for soft human targets. If there was any false info regarding the range, I'm sure that that also would have been adressed. This source is in Norwegain, but I don't see how that can be a negativity to the article. If we were only to site English sources and regard that as the only truth in the world, then we would all have a serious problem. Please remove the label. Mortyman (talk) 01:43, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pioneers in Engineering

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pioneers in Engineering requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Magnitude scale

Hello WinterSpw,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Magnitude scale for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Seismic scale, amongst others..

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jamesbushell.au (talk) 22:52, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
