[referring to discussion on the Link (Legend of Zelda) talk page]
I was pointing out evidence that there was no time for Link to go on a trip and then go to Termina in Majora's Mask. And Princess Zelda of the Oracles could be a new Princess as well. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:27, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! I think it is best to send it to AfD rather than a speedy. The points that you mentioned on the talk page of Legend of Hyrule are themselves worthy of explanation and probably good to merge with another article, so for these reasons I've removed the speedy tag. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks! --HappyCamper 20:50, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! I assume you saw my post on the reference desk about the happy campers (aka "racoons") hanging outside my house? Well, I did some thorough garbage cleanup, and it seems to have solved the problem. I'll take your advice if they decide to come back - they are such a hassle to deal with!
Well, to be honest, I'm not so familiar with the topic you are currently editing, but from your comments, it seemed as if it might have been worthwhile to mention them in the article itself. Specifically, the reasoning you provided - it was very well thought out, and thorough. I'd still suggest an AfD for the cleanup though, just as you are now suggesting. Glad someone is trying to make those articles better! Although I trusted your judgement about the speedy, I think the community in general is reluctant to delete pages which might appear to carry any useful content.
If you are interested, I recently happened to have deleted a page sort of like that (you are welcome to read my comments on my talk page), and another administrator found it very disapproving that I did so. I'm sure this particular user was well meaning, but sometimes Wikipedians might overreact a bit and feel attacked or bitten. I guess nobody is completely immune to this (including myself) but you can see from my talk page that the ramifications might be, well, not quite so fun.
I'm really happy you wrote me something on my talk page, as I was curious whether that page would have been neglected or not after I removed the speedy tag. Honestly, I didn't expect a response from you since it seemed like you were a relatively new contributor to Wikipedia according to your edit history. So, getting a message from you was sort of a pleasant surprise. :-)
A nice tip for you in return: If you plan to be a long term contributor, learn how to deal with criticism gracefully. Do this well so you can brace yourself against any "WikiStress". Try not to take things too personally, and make it a habit to assume good faith! This will help you tremendously along your career as a Wikipedian.
Ah yes, the phrase Just a Wikipedian - look in my "Archive 1" to find out where that came from! Sort of an in-joke I guess. :-) I prefer using that at the moment, but I might change it later as you suggested - stay tuned! There is also the interesting "mysterious Wikipedian" you might want to check out too on my talk page. Honestly, I think my account somehow attracts a very interesting set of threads!
Well, anyway, if you ever need something from me, let me know, and I'll try my best to help out. I'll be reducing my time on Wikipedia, but if you leave a message on my talk page, I'll try to get back to you in a reasonable amount of time. Have a great day, and I'll see you around the Wiki! --HappyCamper 15:22, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
You said on his talk page that you blocked IP 24.21.191.65, but it's fairly obvious that this editor is also the registered user DiddyKong1234. They both seem to be making edits again, I was just curious as to whether you unblocked him and why? Particularly since there's no further comment on that page.
Also, I was wondering about the purpose and nature of IP blocks? Does it only apply to anonymous edits, i.e., can a user still log in from a blocked IP to contribute? Is a block limited to specific namespaces? I seem to see comments here and there on blocked users' talk pages from the users themselves. Perhaps there's a policy page that would help me understand better, could someone link me? -- WikidSmaht on Lucky 6.9's talk page 21:13, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
Your username change request has been completed; please see my reply to your comments at Wikipedia:Changing username. Regards — Dan | Talk 00:11, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Something just occured to me. Do you make some of your edits from a school or library computer with a content filter? Maybe censorware like NetNanny? Because you need to stop using that computer. At least use the "Show changes" button to check what you're doing before you submit( also, it wouldn't kill you to preview your work). Because when you make edits to certain pages, that filter is removing words and phrases like "bomb" or "adult link" from the article too. Assuming( and this is admittedly a significant, though reasonable, assumption) that the vandalism which is angering other wikipedians is not intentional on your part, this should help stop that.
Still, as mentioned above, your tendency to create and link to unencyclopedic articles about every tiny detail of a game is frowned on by the Wikipedia community. This behavior is not appreciated, and it's clear from comments and reverts that a growing number of other editors regard you as a nuisance.
The best article you've created is probably Woodstock, Portland, Oregon. I can't speak for other wikipedians, but it seems to me that the best thing would be for you to stop creating pages for a while, and focus on improvement of existing articles. If you feel a component of a large article might deserve to be spun-off, make a note suggesting it on that article's talk page. Eventually, you'll get a feel for the sort of things which most people will agree deserve their own articles.
Perhaps I'm overstepping my bounds by somewhat contradicting Wikipedia's policy of encouraging editors to be bold. But the fact of the matter is, you've been blocked before, and taking a conservative approach for a while is probably in your best interest. I would much rather see your eagerness put to good use improving existing articles, than see you blocked or banned for irritating and unproductive behavior. But at the same time, your current pattern simply can not continue. In addition, you might benefit from checking out the links Poli left in the first comment on this page. -- WikidSmaht (talk) on DiddyKong1234's talk page 10:37, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice. I will definently use it. And by the way, you were right, i do have a blockage thing. Sorry. [unsigned comment by DiddyKong1234 02:54, September 10, 2005 (UTC)]
You did it again, your content blocker removed stuff from the Link (Legend of Zelda), article and probably others. Preview. Your. Edits. BEFORE. Saving. Use the "Show changes" button, too, so you can catch alterations you might have missed.
Also, it's really not a good idea to overload an article with images. I'm not saying you should remove it, but makes sure each image you use really warrants inclusion in an article. Consider shrinking your images to be more in line with other screen shots on the page. And remember: all images are supposed to have an image copyright tag. You need to add those to all the images you've uploaded. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 18:12, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Joyous. I saw your comment on DiddyKong1234's talk page. I believe you'd also dealt with him back before he registered. This one user is driving up my wikistress level more than anything I've encountered since I started editing here.( This may be attributable to his tendency to contribute to articles about The Legend of Zelda series, which is my pet project, too. This is also the reason I can't just walk away.)
I don't want to resort to newbie-biting, but Diddy( a.k.a. 24.21.191.65) is really starting to bother me, and though I can't speak for others, I know a few things have gotten to them too, and I think bad feelings toward him would run high among Zelda editors if a few of us didn't end up reverting, correcting, or rewriting much of what he contributes. I keep a folder in my favorites of pages which need to be merged or AfD'd, and pretty much every article he creates winds up there. His articles are often short, unencyclopedic pieces on non-notable parts of video games, usually consisting of what should be contributions to the game articles themselves. The spelling and grammar can only be described as regrettable, and the information isn't even always accurate. When it is accurate, much of it is similar in form to a strategy guide, and therefore appropriate for Wikibooks, but not the Wikipedia. On the AfD pages of one or more articles, it's been mentioned how video game articles have been very successfully tied to guides in Wikibooks in the past.
He created several articles on individual songs( or groups of songs with made-up categories as titles) from the Zelda series, and in an attempt to curb this I created the Legend of Zelda series songs article, and redirected the other articles there.( My original intent was to improve and then link or merge his articles, but I realized that "improving" his articles essentially consisted of rewriting them due to the major style problems.) His response was to restore several of these unfortunate pages and link them from the new page.
He contributes tons of great images, but never clarifies the copyright status. At some point, I'm feeling like I'll have to go through his Contribution history and tag them all as unknown copyright status. All this, and he wants to be an admin!!! I'm just thankful he hasn't figured out how to use RfA yet.
You probably can't block him just for being a nuisance, but I was hoping you'd have some advice as to how I should proceed. He has repeatedly ignored comments from me( very civil and even kind, I think you will see) and other users on his talk page, or responded but then failed to follow through with action. This includes a failure to preview his edits, meaning that some sort of NetNanny-esque program on one of the computers he uses tends to remove words from certain articles when he edits them. His eagerness is nice, but his actions are shortsighted and stubborn. If he'd just take a little more time to think over his contributions, I'm sure he could be a decent editor, but it seems from his attitude like he might be too young. I don't want to lose my cool and say/do something I'd regret, but I don't want to clean up after him all the time or abandon the Zelda articles either. Should I start a Wikiquette alert or an RfC, perhaps?? Thanks in advance for your help. -- WikidSmaht (talk) on Joyous's talk page 14:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm curious, why did you leave Passing Songs (Legend of Zelda) when removing two other redirects I nominated under the same criteria? -- WikidSmaht (talk) on Noel's talk page 19:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[1]: once you have contributed material to Wikipedia, you've released it under GFDL. You don't get to change your mind on that. The horse is out of the barn. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to let you know that a whole lot of the stuff in the article (I've been contributing to it too) has been deemed more to be 'strategy guide' material rather than useful encylcopedia material, so it's been decided by the Video Game project that all the 'strategy guide' and list like stuff will be moved into a WikiBook. I have plans on being primary author/editor, but I would love the assistance if you want to contribute heavily. ParallaxTZ 07:17, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to say, I think it's great that you're into a major philosophical work like Calvin & Hobbes even though you didn't exist while it was first in print. Also, this makes me feel quite old. I am also encouraged by the fact that you appear more literate than some Wikipedians twice your age. ---- WikidSmaht (talk) on Megawatterson's talk page 18:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
You said at Talk:Calvin and Hobbes that you had a GIF of the original May 23, 1987 strip. Is it the one where Calvin tries to make iced tea? And if that's the original, what is your version?

Hi WikidSmaht, I don't quite understand why you reverted "... innocents" to "an innocent person/people/land". Using slashes in a free-flowing text is bad form, especially when you are mixing singular and plural forms (an innocent person/people). Also, I don't think a "land" can be innocent; it's a concept that doesn't make sense. Finally, I think you should use edit summaries to justify changes you make to articles, especially when you are reverting other users' edits. Cheers. Phils 10:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Stop editing the various Legend of Zelda pages to say that the Zelda Link saves in Zelda II had a red rose in her hand. You are attempting to draw a parallel with Briar Rose which DOES NOT EXIST. There is NO canon source with images or text supporting the red rose( or the "100 years", for that matter). If I'm wrong then CITE your source in your edit summaries or on talk pages. Your repeated inclusion of this irrelevant and unsupported information is vandalism. -- WikidSmaht (talk) on SNIyer12's talk page 05:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, be careful with the AutoWikiBrowser.

I want to start an RfC regarding SNIyer12 constantly adding nonsense about a red rose in Zelda II to several Legend of Zelda-related articles.( This is a apparently a misguided attempt to draw a nonexistant parallel between Zelda and Briar Rose, seemingly a pet interest of his/hers.) Before we can go to RfC, at least 2 people need to attempt to contact the user on his/her talk page, which I have( and been ignored), but as the conflict isn't just between SNIyer12 and myself, I don't want to ask for a third opinion. Since you were the last registered user, other than myself, to revert one of these edits( see:[3]), I thought I would ask you to contact him/her. If he/she stops, great, if not, there will be grounds for a User-conduct RfC( since I can cite at least a dozen instances) and I will start one. -- WikidSmaht (talk) on Setokaiba's talk page 22:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[referring to this edit summary: 21:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC) WikidSmaht m (Articles about future products always contain speculation, and this particular prediction has basis in precedent and available footage.)]
Based on your comment in the game's revision history: I can't really say I understand how this game can be "predicted" to have an E10+/T ESRB rating based on "precedent" when there has never been a Zelda game given an E10+ or T rating. There's also the question of where exactly these "predictions" are coming from. Based on what I can see regarding what Wikipedia is not, this looks like crystal-balling. - DoubleCross 13:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Signature attacks apply to the Pokémon's primary attack in the video games, not in the anime. With some exceptions, the signature attack is usually a naturally learned attack. These attacks are usually quite common on movesets. For example, Seismic Toss is rarely seen on a Charizard moveset. Andros 1337 18:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
May I ask why you're taking the trouble of converting certain Zelda articles written with typewriter quotes to typographic quotes? Pagrashtak 06:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Forgetting the dispute over the actual meaning of the word iterations, it shouldn't be in the article for the simple reason that it's uncommon to the point of being jarring. The article should be accessable to most readers. This isn't a commonly used word -- at least in my area of the world.
As for the use of series', my bad! I was looking at the sentence and reading it as "first in the series" as opposed to it actually refering to first of videos. Ciao! --Jayzel 19:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

What your problem is I don't know, but I'd like to ask you to stop changing links to inferior links. IGN does not mention the example given by Miyamoto and thus, linking to that site while it does not contain all related information is useless. Find another website that does contain that information if you don't like lotl, but don't hold back information. An encyclopedia is more then anything else about details.
What was your point in changing the Zelda series page btw? Miyamoto DID confirm the functionality and Zelda Revo was first confirmed at E3 2005. Hyrule 00:56, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed that you moved Reggie Fils-Aime to Reginald Fils-Aime. However, I've never heard this guy be called by anything else but "Reggie" - the so-dubbed "Reggie-lution," his fanbase, is "Reggie" and not "Reginald".

Hey.. you, I was going through the admin archives and I checked your name and noticed you'd never been nominated at all for adminship. Rather than going out of my way and writing a nom, then you declining it, I thought I'd ask instead if you were interested. (I'm a good RfA streak recently, I nominated Natalya.. and got attacked for nominating such a great user.)

I’m just curious, how did you come across the SNIyer12 RfC?
I believe the chain of events went something like this: I was looking at the introduction of the Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks article in the course of usual editing. I found the introduction unusually POV and without sourcing. I went to the article's talk page and found that the introduction had been the source of much discussion, and a 'slow edit war' - also, that consensus had determined that the material did not belong there.
When I found this was an edit by SNIyer12, I then went to their user talk page to review comments put there. I found discussion similar to what I believe I've been seeing, about Zelda articles. Inside the Zelda article was an edit summary:
SNIyer12, please STOP adding this rose nonsense, as per the many requests and warnings, and the user-conduct RfC about you.
...I went to take a look at it there. So, I really had no idea this was going on, which is why I put what I've seen in the 'outside view' section; I'll let what I've written there speak for itself.
Regards, Skybunny 23:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
While you may have always referred to the game as just "Wario Land", the actual title is "Virtual Boy Wario Land". box The art says this, the cartridge says this, and the title screen says this. The article should reflect its offical title, especially considering it's just a rearrangement of the words.

My god, after all of that reworking and fixing that you went through in the attack list, they're trying to get rid of it.. Ugh! You need to say something in the AfD page, just to bring up a point. I know I'm not the only one who's freaking out about this... Really, what's different with that list from any other list of say, Mario characters, or other lists of things from other games? It's so frustrating... Seriously though, if they remove that I'm probably going to die a little inside.. There's a place for everything on wikipedia, even if it's like wikibooks or something. You should really say something over there at the AfD page, I know you worked a nice part in this. And ugh, the sight of a group of stuck-up people twiddling their thumbs, going all snort, snort, snort, cruft, cruft, cruft, cruft makes me want to pound someone in.

So are you going to prune it like you mentioned, or will I have to revert back to my simplified version? You haven't replied on the talk page.

Hello... I saw the page move request, and by extension all of the moves you've been doing. Nothing wrong with most of them, of course, but I couldn't find anywhere set aside to discuss one of your proposed moves. I don't think "Soft Light" should be moved to Soft Light - article titles can easily be confused when the only difference is a capital letter vs. a lower-case letter. Thanks. --Ckatzchatspy 06:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

actually, if you carefully read the "exceptions" at the WP:Name#Prefer_singular_nouns you will see that Pokémon types is actually the correct format to follow as this article is discussing all of the types, not just the concept of type. This is also applies to Pokémon game mechanics, List of Pokémon items, and Pokémon moves. Generally, you use the pluralization depending on how the subject of the article would be most commonly referred to. So if it was feasible to have an article on the Grass-type, it would be called Grass-type (Pokémon), but because the article is on Pokémon types, that is what the article should be called. I'll be rv any inaccurate moves you've made regarding this naming convention, if you feel i am incorrect in my asesment, pls bring it up on that page's discussion page or at WT:PCP for Pokémon related articles. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 18:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, two problems here, first of all, this move was NOT uncontroversial. Apostrophe had previously listed it at WP:RM under uncontroversial proposals, and I removed it due to controversy. The user’s request here on your talk page was a blatant abuse of your admin goodwill in an attempt to circumvent policy and process.
Second, and more urgently, you seem to have accidentally lost the entire talk page somewhere in the move process. Talk:Buizel still redirects to Talk:Buoysel, which is empty, having been deleted by you. --WikidSmaht (talk) on Gnangarra’s talk page 02:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi WikidSmaht,
I would like to invite you to join the discussion about reliable sources, in this specific case about lotl and the hylia. If you have more -unbiased- knowledge about both websites, I look forward to your input.
There you will also see how TSA comes up with me supposedly being a crew member of lotl. It's nothing more then shouting something stupid to try and discredit who he's in an argument with. Anyway, you'll be able to see for yourself.
I hope you can help with this project, and I look forward to your input.
Cheers and happy editing

About this edit... note where you say “Its legs are like those of Roselia's as well”. NO. To make the Roselia possessive, say “like those of [a] Roselia”, or, preferably just “like Roselia’s”. Saying “like that/those of _______’s” is redundant. In other words: WRONGVERYBADDON’TDOIT. EVER. This particular grammatical atrocity pervades the Pokémon articles. I am NOT blaming you for its prevalence, but in the article in question it was easy to find the perpetrator. I beseech you, strike this hideous anomaly from your composition. If you see it anywhere, wrought by yourself or another, eliminate it. And if it springs from another’s hand, please pass along this lecture, that we may eradicate this horror for all time. --WikidSmaht (talk) on Floramage’s talk page 07:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Um, what the fuck are you talking about in this edit? It is NOT fine, “that/those of (a) ______’s” is redundant. Saying “those of ______” already makes the noun( which I have left blank in this case) possessive. Adding the apostrophe and letter s, then, is unnecessary, and, more to the point, completely wrong. To be explicit:
Please do not encourage bad grammar. --WikidSmaht (talk) on Urutapu’s talk page 02:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
ARRRRGH You guys are really trying my patience on this issue. OK, let me attempt another way of explaining it. Please do not mistake this as condescending, I am merely trying to teach, and in this case attempting to be as clear as possible since I utterly failed to convey the lesson in my previous comments.
Let us examine the sentence “Its legs are like those of Roselia’s.”. This sentence contains several ambiguities - all of which are perfectly acceptable in English, but for clarity in this lesson, it is best to eliminate them. We will begin by replacing pronouns with the nouns they represent, specifically: the posessive pronoun “Its” is standing in for “Roserade’s”, and the pronoun “those” is standing in for “the legs”.
So, making those changes, the sentence becomes “Roserade’s legs are like the legs of Roselia’s.”. Roselia’s what? Because it is implied, it is not necessary to spell it out when writing, but, again, for the purpose of this lesson, it is better to be explicit. So, “Roselia’s” becomes “Roselia’s legs.”
And there we have it. When you fully spell out all the abbreviated and omitted elements, “Its legs are like those of Roselia’s.” actually means “Roserade’s legs are like the legs of Roselia’s legs.”. As you can see, this is incorrect, because you are trying to make a comparison to the legs of a Roselia, not to its legs’ legs, and, in fact, the legs of a Roselia do not have legs of their own.
Applying the same rules to the correct versions, we can say “Its legs are like those of Roselia.”, which would mean “Roserade’s legs are like the legs of Roselia.”, or we can say “Its legs are like Roselia’s.” which would mean “Roserade’s legs are like Roselia’s legs.”. But we can NOT combine the two, as that results in redundancy, and a fallacy as well.
I hope that this time I have finally been successful in helping you to understand. --WikidSmaht (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
P.S.: I know my punctuation is non-standard, that is conscious and intentional. Note that I only use my personal punctuation rules on talk pages, in articles I use standard punctuation. If I do use non-standard punctuation in an article, it is usually a typo, so you should feel free to correct it. --WikidSmaht (talk)
hi
remember me i posed a "help wanted".
well it sax (about the "not 4 wikipedia" thin)
ow'l Ill find another place 4 it dont worry.
about your request for a prove that we truly
are "the next thin" i wont consider joining some 1 who didnt ask me for such prove (considering the crapy pokemon sites in existence today).
the site is currently not in english and we’re still translating it to english
when we finish doing so a link will be added to the "help wanted" thin.
i can upload to "megaupload.com" an avi file that might give u a grasp of our info & tec level although as i said b4 not in english (hebrew).
we u wish me to do so please send me an e-mail to
joinourpokemonquest@yahoo.com
so i may e-mail u back the link.
as for my personal spelling & grammar it is evry likely they need some polishing considering im not from an english speaking country and have learned it mostly throw the tv, i would appreciate any comment on my spelling & grammar (including mistakes in the "help wanted" thin).
(i know the leanguage used in this comment is very tacky)
hope to read from u soon
(by email! i doubt ill find this "talk page" again)
I have added a "((prod))" template to the article Team_Rocket, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.--Parker007 19:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:Move to Wikibook requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

A belated welcome to Wikipedia! Click “show” on the template Chubbennaitor left you above for helpful tips and links. Several things:
1) Do not undo[4][5] good edits without explaining yourself in the edit summary.
2) Please use edit summaries in general to make your intentions and reasons clear to other editors. Invisible comments are useful for important permanent notes, but easy to miss when part of a larger or seperate edit. Also make use of talk pages.
3) You do not own articles and should refrain from telling others not to edit them “until further notice”[6].( If you need to prevent edits to a page for a short while because you are doing a major rewrite, try ((inuse)).) Indeed, you should refrain entirely from telling others not to edit articles in specific ways[7] unless a consensus to that effect has been reached on the article’s talk page.
4) With regards to the specific issue we seem to be having trouble with: Dōbutsu no Mori was not direct-to-video at all. Acccording to the intro to that film’s article, “It opened in theaters in Japan on December 16, 2006.”. It was released on DVD in Japan seven months later, and has not bee in released in other countries at all.
As for the latter Pokémon films, it is true that they went direct-to-video in several countries including the U.S. and U.K., but this is not the American Wikipedia or British Wikipedia, it is an international Wikipedia written in the English language; and just like Dōbutsu no Mori those films were all released theatrically in Japan( their country of origin), and in certain cases other countries, long before they were released on DVD anywhere. In fact, they continue to be theatrically released there at a rate of one per year in July, and the 11th installment is due to hit Japanese theaters in just a couple weeks.

There has been a request for maps detailing the status of same-sex marriage in North and South America, similar to File:Same_sex_marriage_map_Europe_detailed.svg. I second this request. Since you( as Outsider80) worked on both that map and File:World homosexuality laws.svg, I was hoping that the project might interest you. I would ask the creator of the two maps, Silje, but from what I can glean from his(?) userpage on the Norwegian Wikipedia, I think Silje is on wikipause. Thanks!
...Before hitting post, I decided to investigate the prior comment on this talk page. In response to your response to that: there are a few important flaws in the world laws map - first off, in areas where homosexuality is not criminal but marriages are not performed, it doesn’t distinguish places where same-sex marriage and civil unions are simply not recognized through a lack of legislation from places where they are specifically banned by constitution or legislation, a useful distinction which the Europe map does make. Also, the full-size map is rather small, which is what necessitates the creation of continent-specific maps.
I do agree that being a subject of debate is something hard to define and prone to change. Still, it is worthwhile information to have, and there do seem to be people willing to update it. As in the Europe map, though, consideration of marriage should probably not take precedence over the existence of unions/partnerships( unless you want to create two further categories for “Civil Unions, Marriage Banned” and “Civil Unions, Marriage Debated”). Also, if you do take on the project, note that the United States is, as far as I know, I unique case: federally, marriage is restricted to opposite-sex couples by the DOMA, but states are currently free to grant or ban marriage as they like( of course, the DOMA may be on the verge of repeal). Maybe give the whole country a dark border on the North America map with an explanatory note? --WikidSmaht (talk) on Wikignome0529’s talk page 22:26, 3 April 2009 (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) 01:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

The article Kevin McCrea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thank you for your contributions to this article. However, while I appreciate your bold edit, unfortunately it runs against the consensus for the design of the article. Consensus is formed by either discussion or by edits; in this case, it's been formed by the latter. As you wish to fundamentally change the design of the article, and as another editor has raised a concern, the onus is now on you to explain your position on the talk page as to why you believe your intended revision is better. This follows the well-held procedure of Bold-Revert-Discuss. Your Bold edit has been Reverted, and now it's time to Discuss why you believe your edit is better. I look forward to the discussion on the talk page. --McDoobAU93 16:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
