Hi Angelo, I notice you nominated Trailfinders for speedy deletion. You are quite right about the lack of sources, but you need to find out about how Wikipedia handles deletion. An article is normally deleted if the subject is not notable. There are three routes to deletion:

1. Speedy deletion which is only for uncontroversial deletions. There is nothing in the article that indicates it could be notable.
2. Proposed deletion similar to speedy deletion, but where there is a possibility that the subject could be notable. Seven days notice is given for notability to be established.
3. Articles for deletion where the article is actively discussed to determine whether it actually is notable.

I see you used a template to notify The Rambling Man about the nomination for CSD. You may want to look at what that template produces and consider whether it is an appropriate method of notifying an editor who is a bureaucrat with over 60,000 edits in the last five years. There's an essay entitled Don't template the regulars that gives some good guidance. Hope all of this helps. --RexxS (talk) 04:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

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 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 be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Adopt-a-Typo

Hello! You have received this message because it is believed that you might be interested in adopting a typo for your very own.

What is adopt-a-typo?

Adopt-a-typo is an effort to harness a movement that already exists in Wikipedia. Individual users already pick typos that particularly irritate them, and search for them in the Wikipedia articles. Adopt-a-typo is intended to do three things:

• Add social credit to this practice, so that users feel enticed to join and adopt.
• Catalog the growth of the adopt a typo movement, so that there is a list of ALL adopted typos.
• Enable those who want to adopt a typo to do so quickly and easily.

Why do you want to start this new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

I, and probably you, have joined several groups that pursue the same goal through different means, but we at Adopt-a-Typo believe this proposal harnesses the unique power that Wikipedia has with its mass conglomerate of editors.

Support

Please add yourself if you want to join the project.
