Howdy,
I would just like to thank you for all that you have done for the Wikiproject Military History. Thanks and Have a Great Day! Lord R. Oliver I His Lordship's Court 18:33, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
But you have done edits which have helped substantially, and I just want you to know that you are appreciated. Have a Great Day! Lord R. Oliver I His Lordship's Court 23:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't really have a strong position on the issue, however I am wondering if you could give me an example of a sports regulation which isn't really just a rule. After all there is the sports law category. I would consider any activity within some league to be merely a "rule", not a "regulation" in the way congress subpoenas players, etc. You seem to be reverting it awful quick, so you obviously have a strong view on it. It makes more sense to me the other way. Be well, Pontiff Greg Bard (talk) 22:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Hazardous Goods Vehicle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 16:51, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry that you're pissed, but deletion is not a reflection on you and you should not take it personally. Start your article here where you can edit it unmolested until it's ready to be moved into the body of the encyclopedia. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel that way, there wasn't much there, which I could move to your user space were you to ask. You should review our policies whilst you calm down and remember that one of them is to maintain civility and not make personal attacks. If you cannot abide by these now, it's probably best if you desist from editing until you are able to. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
A holdon tag is no guarantee that a deletion won't take place. The holdon tag tells you to put the reasons for not deleting on the talk page. Did you? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
The talk page has never existed. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Do you want it restored to your user space? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
That's certainly your right, but just technically, nothing could be deleted before you saved it if it never existed, ever. No admin or anyone else can delete a page that has never been edited. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:53, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi There,
A couple months back you were doing some work with Heli-logging before it was deleted for copyright violations. It was created again today, but not in a terribly good form (i.e. I was about to speedy delete it again). Anyhow, I saw your old version, and since the article is a worthwhile topic, I just pulled an altered version of your old opening paragraph, and tagged the article as a stub. If you're interested, please feel free to wade back in and take a stab at expanding the article (just don't copy ad paste anything from another website).

Hello! I see you are a member of the guild of copy editors, and thought to seek your assistance seeing that we had some productive discourse in the past. I am working on a featured article which you might find interesting, based on your editing habits. Thomas R. Marshall is very close to passing an FA review, I feel. If you should have any spare time and could give a copy edit, it would be most appreciated! I have become very familiar with the text, and could use a second set of eyes from someone familiar with US politics. If you are busy then its no big deal. Thanks! —Charles Edward (Talk | Contribs) 03:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I found you on the "Guild of Copy Editors" page. I am currently working on the Nobel Prize article and I am going to nominate it for a GA soon, hopefully before the end of this week. However, it could need some more grammar/prose checks to make it better. I was wondering if you could give me a hand? Especially the parts after "History" needs some looking into. I would be very grateful for any help :)

It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving.
In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire.

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the ((copyedit)) tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of The Utahraptor at 22:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC).
To whom it may concern: My edits were an attempt to let someone know that the page is a biased hit-piece. Reading this page, you'd think it was written by an ex-girlfriend of Barton's who has vowed to exact some kind of revenge against him. It is ok and necessary to show negative comments about a person or his qualifications, etc., but this page is so far slated against him that my screen almost slid off of my desk. The page quotes people who obviously have great animosity towards Barton and his beliefs as if they are objective obervers. For example, quoting the opinion of an anti-religious freedom group like Americans United for the Seperation of Church and State should be accompanied with an explanation that their opinion of Barton is extremely biased. Believe me, people reading this page deserve to hear more from Barton than from Spector. His opinion of Barton belongs on this page about as much as Paris Hilton's opinion of George Washington belongs on his. Sincerely 146.130.125.114 (talk) 15:12, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Great. Sorry for my haste in trying to correct this problem. I was a little upset that it took longer to find negative information on the pages of Castro, Chavez, and Mao than on the page of David Barton. You can understand my shock at this blatant character assasination taking place. I hope we can find a way to get this page to tell a fair, well documented, balanced, two-sided, truthful story of who this man is. Sincerely, 146.130.125.114 (talk) 15:23, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I just noticed your interpretation of the US constitution as not being a living document, but embodying eternal truths. That's arguable. But what I am surprised about is that you quote Jefferson in support. Jefferson very much held the opposite position - he considered it somewhat flawed ("yet every human essay must have defects"), in no way binding for future generations ("The present generation has the same right of self-government which the past one has exercised for itself.", "Can one generation bind another and all others in succession forever? I think not."), and called for frequent rewriting to adapt to new situations ("Time and changes in the condition and constitution of society may require occasional and corresponding modifications", "We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors"). All quotes conveniently assembled at [2]. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 13:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

What I wrote was "The request was made by the Soviets, for the bombing of choke points, including Berlin and Leipzig, the other cities were added during the discussions. so not accurate to say there was no reqst"
My reversal has nothing to do with me being an administrator (when it come to content administrators have no more of a preferential position than any other editor). What we do have some discretion over is the behaviour of editors who have been naughty. For example I reverted a cut and past move recently, and in doing so I discovered that the editor concerned had been engaging in such practice with dozens of pages, there for I took it further.
In this case you made a bold edit and I have reverted it. My source for doing this is listed in the article. I am happy to discuss it further on the talk page of the article. I would be interested in why you think that no request was made, are you sure that you do not mean that no written request was made for Dresden? There is disagreement among historians over whether Dresden was discussed, but I have not read an account that says that the Soviets did not discuss bombing lines and the help the Western Allies could give the Soviets interdicting troop movements to the Eastern Front. -- PBS (talk) 22:42, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You added back the category to Am. Rev. War on the basis that American Revolution was also in this cat. Are you aware that this category is a few days old and American Revolution was added today? [3]. The same objections I raised on the talk page apply to that too. It is circular to argue that it's OK to include American Revolutionary War in this category because American Revolution is in it.

This featured article British Empire refers to the US as a "product" of the British Empire (British_empire#Legacy).

Please warn vandals after you revert vandalism, preferably using templates such as those included with Twinkle. For example, you reverted this vandalism but did not leave the IP a warning template.

I've removed your comment [4] from Talk:Weston Price as it appears to make accusations of improper behavior, and use those accusations as rational for content changes. --Ronz (talk) 15:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
I've removed both your recent addition to Stephen Barrett and your comment about him on Talk:Weston Price. The latter is a clear WP:BLP violation. The addition to the article wasn't as much a direct BLP problem as it was just an agreement not to include because of BLP concerns. --Ronz (talk) 22:20, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
I didn't notice your interjection here. You bring up some good points. Care to discuss them here? --Ronz (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Could you remind me which discussions I started [6], and why it's worth bringing up at FTN? I can't seem to figure out what you're referring to, or why it would matter.

Sorry that I assumed you were drunk. [7] If you weren't, then perhaps you have another explanation? Using the situation you caused as a reason to attack me now is hardly helpful or indicative that you intend to follow Wikipedia's behavioral guidelines. --Ronz (talk) 15:06, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
I think we settled these problems, but I felt they were important to mention at BLPN given the problems from other editors. --Ronz (talk) 17:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Following with my comment at BLPN [11]: Here's an example: If you had only written [12], I'd have said it was a BLP violation - no source, no indication of what the problem it was or how it related to the discussion. It appears to purposely attack Barrett. But when you wrote it after [13], it looked particularly libelous. First you attack Barrett in the article about him, then your very next edit attacks him in a talk page. --Ronz (talk) 01:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Re [14]. I don't believe I said it is "essential." I did say, "I'd emphasize the purpose of BLP, to ensure material is not defamatory or libelous, regardless of where it is within Wikipedia." --Ronz (talk) 01:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
![]()
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs ((cleanup)), ((wikify)), or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Well, the proper authority is us, the Wikipedians. We just have to get through the layers of long-timers who have been doing the same thing for years and years, but I believe that a properly worked-out policy could actually get adopted (that is, get consensus for change). Suppose you and I work out some kind of new procedure for sourcing Lists and Years, propose it and see what happens? It might take quite a while, but I think there are lots of folks who think as you and I do. I can start by drafting some ideas that I have. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

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) |

Hello. I'm commenting here because the conversation has moved away, in my opinion, from focusing on the article's content. No, there isn't a reason why I don't want attention. I think noticeboards are the places to get attention (such as WP:NPOVN). If you look back in the archive, you'll see comments from users Sean Hoyland, Critical, and Will Beback. They are experienced editors and they arrived to the talk page at times when there was a posting to a noticeboard. I don't think tags are effective recruitment tools. Do you want me to start a post at WP:NPOVN? At this point, though, it doesn't appear you have a POV problem with the article. Here are the number of people that have death panel on their watchlist.[15] (But yes, I started the article and I think I am the chief content contributor, though quite a few have contributed and discussed things.) You can go to any article, click on the history tab, then click on "Number of watchers" to get there. Best. Jesanj (talk) 15:09, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors
The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting. This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". |

Is it better now? Sp33dyphil "Ad astra" 13:45, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Your artical on slavery completely misses the fact the there were more white slaves in the sugar colonies and the virginia colony that black. The term indentured servants was modified in fact to mean the after 1660 whites could nver escape their slavery. Google "Irish slavery" or "white slaves in america" and see the results. In Barbados over 80 percent of the sugar slaves were white. The same is true of Montseratt. Get behind the whitwash of "indentured servants" and you will find that Irish slaves were worth 5 lbs. but african slaves were worth 50 lbs. ad were better treated as a result.

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The ((GOCEreviewed)) tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (Talk), Stfg (Talk), and Dank (talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
