You were right to remove that junk, but not on BLP grounds, as Sherman has been dead for about 40 years now. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:17, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Thq logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
this wasn't vandalism. Look closer. Someone substituted the navigation template which defeats the purpose of having a template. 134.253.26.10 (talk) 15:55, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

In response to your request to remove an edit summary, I have removed the text and edit summaries of all the edits by that IP to your user page. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:16, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem! My apologies for conducting the image changes without attempting to achieve consensus. I have opened a discussion topic for this purpose, and would like to hear your views on it, as you have stated earlier that the article's status was one among many reasons for the reversion.

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. ![]()
![]() So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk) |

Hi,
I edited the facial moles page to get rid of a bunch of idiomatic nonsense and remove a ridiculously specific description of the "wealth spots" found on a human face. In addition, I softened the author's assertion that moleomancy is a key element of "Chinese culture" by adjusting it to say "traditional Chinese culture."
I failed to provide a detailed explanation as I had placed other edits in the section explaining what I was doing before deciding to cut out the description of the 9 wealth spots hoping that common sense would prevail. When it did not, I made the same changes, this time providing (as requested) a brief explanation of my reasons for editing.
In a nutshell, please put my changes back. Nobody cares about the wealth spots. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.176.249.241 (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate your message, rather than reverting my edit with no explanation. The reference that exists does not suggest that the cognitive/behavioural deficits were signs of organic brain damage- that was from an earlier paper entitled- Chronic LSD users: The Acidheads, lovely title, which still did not suggest that there was any damage, nor that it was a result of LSD use (in fact the measures were not really cognitive performance anyway). Cohen (the ref actually cited) found cognitive and behavioural deficits, but were a very long way from suggesting any organic damage. A further study on the subject found similar results, though to a lesser degree, and again suggested that it was not appropriate to suggest the impairments were causally related to LSD use. The last paper, which has the benefit of reviewing the other two papers, states that the designs of all the studies inhibit any conclusion the impairments associated with LSD are indicative of brain damage. Here is the link to the ref- http://www.lycaeum.org/research/researchpdfs/1936.pdf. Ninahexan (talk) 08:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your welcoming. But I think my edit was constructive. By making a troll edit, I was able to get the article deleted, without having to join into an exhausting argument myself. I call that constructive. You should consider engaging in trolling yourself.

Is [this] not a reliable source?
It is the website of a government organization (Political Party) and the paragraph updated was taken from [Frontiline], which belongs to one of the most subscribed dailies/newspapers The Hindu.
If you remain defiant, then there is no answer to prove or give reliable sources.

Hi there,
I've come across your edits on several Karnataka related pages, so I'm writing to you. I've come across an editor recently who seems adamant on adding a certain YouTube video of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi's performance on the artists's article page. While this seems to be a promotional attempt, I have discussed the nature of such an addition with the editor. See User_talk:Paradise_coyote#January_2011. However, it seems that the editor is determined to engage in an edit war, in spite of being told to discuss the issue on the article's talk page. See this
Would you butting in to ascertain the exact nature of such an addition of the specific YouTube video and whether its addition qualifies as an attempt of promotion...

Hi, I note that you started / participated in a recent Afd on this article. As I do not watch that (or any other) article I could not participate in the Afd. I am now in a discussion with another contributor to that Afd on the quality of this article. Could you guide me on how one goes about dealing with more experienced wiki editors who are citing policy to me insofar as this article goes. RobertRosen (talk) 08:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mike
My name and user name are both the same ie Terry Carrick. I have a Ph.D. in historical research so I guess you could say that any inclusions or editions I make have a degree of credability.
Yesterday I added my first article. The subject a gentleman called William Lawson. You contacted me with some advice which was very helpful. I have now edited the article and it looks better than before. I am learning but not so fast.
How do I remove the three statements made by Wikipedia at the top of the article and how do I change the title to Read William Lawson (Co-operator) not (Businessman) as at the moment.
Regards

Hey. I'd just like to know what your thoughts are about What Goes Around.../...Comes Around being a GA. I was going to attempt to fix it up to keep it at GA level, but it just lacks a lot of things, and I don't feel like it was correctly reviewed in the first place. Please, if you can, leave your comments here. Thanks so much! ℥nding·start 23:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, The reliable sources use the word "murder". Why should we use another word that you describe in your own edit summary as "soft"? This should be discussed on the article's talk page. Cullen328 (talk) 15:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey Mike, wouldn't it be better if we rename all the M G Roads listed here to the full name Mahatma Gandhi Road, <city name>? —Why so serious? Talk to me 17:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Yup it is. But the MG Road of Kochi, Kolkata are already moved to the full name. I believe all the MG roads should maintain a similar title with only the city names to differentiate them. —Why so serious? Talk to me 18:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm a student at Montana State University in Bozeman working on the United States Public Policy wiki project. I will be writing articles pertaining to Native American Law and Policy and would greatly appreciate a mentor who can help out with general Wikipedia questions. This is my first time as an editor on Wikipedia and I will be primarily interested in comments/critiques on my articles. Odds are I will need help with navigating and getting the hang of Wikipedia as well. Thanks! Lineskier09 (talk) 03:18, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. I'm new to Wikipedia. Um... are you now adopting? 'Cause if so, that would really be helpful. I've got some questions.
1. You may not know the answer, but, do you know any good facts about Air pollution? 2. Where do I write about a topic? 3. Is there anything important I should know like rules, important information etc?

There is an ongoing discussion on Milborne's talk page regarding the merger issue. You have added this, but AFIK, in 2007, AI was invited to join Star Alliance. NACIL too was created around the same time to facilitate the merger of IC into AI. But the two still remain separate airlines. AI is expected to join Star Alliance by mid this year (something that was decided back in 2007) and the merger of IC into AI will have to be complete before this happens. Let's wait for a conclusion on the discussion. —Abhishek Talk to me 16:16, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that a few weeks back you removed some material on "Virtual Master Data Management" on the Master Data Management page. It's back and as a newbie, I'm not sure what should be done about it.
While I'm new to trying to edit Wikipedia, I'm a consultant who's been working in MDM since before the term was invented. This so called "Virtual" MDM is not common terminology and as near as I can tell is limited to one vendor I've never heard of. The reference to IBM's virtual registry is a red herring, as the registry approach is only one of three or four approaches to implementing MDM, each with significant pros and cons, with the registry approach generally considered a stepping stone to more sophisticated implementations. The size of the discussion of it relative to the rest of the material is certainly out of proportion to the more common MDM practices.
I also note that the material has been edited out and added back more than once.
How is this supposed to work, particularly if the people making this edit continue to add the material back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slstrickland (talk • contribs) 21:45, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
