| To edg. Many thanks for keeping Wikipedia articles clear of spam and other nonsense, particularly your diligence in the "affiliate referral" linkspamer case. Cheers --Hu12 (talk) 19:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC) |
Just to let you know...
I saw you as a target user at WP:Usurpations. I just thought you should know because it said that you were not notified. ―Rosscoolguy 03:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello. As a contributor to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pundits back in 2009, you may be interested to know I have renominated this article for deletion. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pundits (2nd nomination). Robofish (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Conduit
Please stop trying to create an attack page on the Conduit entry. You've added controversial sources where there was no clear consensus on the talk page, and are now trying to highlight this controversial information above the actual reliable sources on the page. If you have an argument to make, make it on the talk page. Jeremy112233 (talk) 14:35, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for starting the investigation into Grohl1 to have them blocked. I had had suspicions a while back they were Tre based on edits to Marvel film articles, but did not have the time or enough evidence then to start the investigation. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:30, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Schoolsat-back.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Schoolsat-back.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 01:10, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Canvasing
Hello, thank you, I have read the policy and I understand. No more angry tweeting! Thank you again for taking the time to point out the policy for me and not just telling me I was wrong. I appreciate it. Mikepellerintalk 05:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Enlisting your help please.
An editor who seems to have admin rights, went into my talk page and deleted a message directed to me apparently because they did not like what the poster wrote. If you look at my talk page history you will see who this user is. I'm afraid of saying there name here lest they be notified and I face repercussions before this can be addressed. Thank you, I didn't know who to ask, or how to report it. I may have been on Wikipedia a long time, but not as an editor, so I'm still kinda green in this area.

Enlisting your help again, please.
Sorry to bother you again, but recently a wikipedia editor sent out this notice <a href="http://imgur.com/PWCctSu"> to 2PM fan site(s) informing them of their upcoming changes to 2PM pages. The editor's name on wikipedia is the same as in the photo. I thought this practise was in violation of wikipedia rules of polling/canvassing? Also the wording of their message is actually quite rude and has upset quite a bit of the 2PM fanbase(s). I wrote back on each of the contested pages that adding references is fine, but that the removal of information will be contested. Thank you for your help. Mikepellerintalk 19:20, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Edgarde, thanks for catching that SPA at the AfD, though I'm a little worried it's a sock of another editor. Obviously there isn't really much evidence, but the previous AfD was closed as a 'no consensus' due to a couple of reasons, mainly that of the involvement of a number of socks. Anything I can do? samtar (msg) 20:04, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
re: Making a Lasting Contribution to Wikipedia
Thanks for responding. My question was actually about how as an editorial advisor, as someone who suggests to magazines who to interview and what type of questions to ask them, to foster the creation of sources that Wikipedia needs. You bring up an interesting point about copyright. May ask you more about that?
Putting all a magazine's content in the public domain, as you suggest, might make sense if Wikipedia wants to republish in entirety an article or rewrite it. However, that's not typically what happens at Wikipedia, right? To quote with attribution seems like fair use. Are there incidents that magazine copyright holders have pushed back against being quoted in Wikipedia? If Wikipedia is being hindered by magazine copyrights, what rights would Wikipedia like? Is there a boilerplate Wikipedia license that Wikipedia would like publishers to put in magazine mastheads? Robin Rowe (talk) 18:38, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
