Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Save "List of school pranks" From Deletion

Hi, the article List of school pranks has been targeted by the Wikipedia Thought Police™. Please help preserve this marvellous testament to human inventiveness—and cruelty—from certain extinction by voting Keep at the article's deletion page if you haven't already done so. May algid reason never reign supreme! Thanks, Maikel 15:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC) PS: This is a generic message that has been hand-posted to you as a former contributor—hope you won't mind.

August 2008

Please don't add a section with a note to fill it in, nor add a blank section. You should only add a new section if you already have the information to fill it in. Article discussion goes on the talk page, not on the article page itself. RainbowOfLight ^Talk 06:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Tidal flow

Hi Bob. I have reverted your edit to tidal flow, because tidal flow refers to tides. Traffic engineers use the term as an analogy. They think of traffic streams as moving like a tide. But it is quite incorrect to then define a tidal flow in terms of traffic engineering. If you want to resolve your redirect "conflict", then I suggest you reinstate your version ( it is still there in the history) but title it "Tidal flow (traffic)". --Geronimo20 (talk) --11:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I adjusted Tide (disambiguation) to reflect Tidal flow (traffic), as you suggested. --Geronimo20 (talk) 19:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Kangxi Emperor

Hi Bob. In response to your message on my talk page: yes, sure, no problem! I thought your edit on the treasury was very useful. When I undid your second edit, I had spent most of the day correcting mistakes on other pages, so I guess I lumped this very minor one (1661 vs. 1662) with all the others. Sorry about that. Please keep contributing to the pages on Chinese history: they need a lot of work! --Madalibi (talk) 12:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. I tried to make the edit you requested, but I figured it was easier to explain the dates 1661 and 1662 at the very beginning of the article. Let me know if you're satisfied with the new edit. Cheers, --Madalibi (talk) 13:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Another good edit to the "Treasury" section. Thanks! I just read the entire Kangxi article and realized how messy it is. I hope someone will take care of its structure one day. I've already done some work on many Qing emperors in my sandboxes. If you're interested, take a look at my user page. "See" you around! --Madalibi (talk) 14:38, 25 November 2008 (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 (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.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:02, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mushroom sauce

The article Mushroom sauce has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a dictionary definition as well as a tautology (mushroom sauce is a sauce made with mushrooms).

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. HominidMachinae (talk) 08:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Mushroom sauce for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mushroom sauce is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mushroom sauce until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. HominidMachinae (talk) 04:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
