Your edit to Rancid edit

Why do you keep adding One Way to Die as the title for the upcoming Rancid record? Feel free to explain this on the talk page. Alex (talk) 05:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Light hair map.png edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Light hair map.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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.

Eye color article edit

Hello, GaiusCrastinus. I first want to state that I appreciate your editing of this article. I am visiting your talk page because I want to let you know that partly edited your revision of the Blue section and why I did so. I know that you recently edited that section to remove repetition, and I get that. I left that section mostly how you have it formatted, but I added back in this part:

In 2008, new research revealed that people with blue eyes have a single common ancestor. Scientists tracked down a genetic mutation that leads to blue eyes. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen.

I added back in that part (though not at the very beginning as it was before) because I feel that this only recently being discovered should be noted, as well as just who Hans Eiberg is. The average reader will not know who he is, and a lot of people who read Wikipedia do not even know to click on the reference to find out. Additionally, stating a bit about the matter in a simple way before going into the in-depth information with terms the average reader likely does not know is also better in my opinion.

I really do not have any huge objections to the information not being presented this way; it is rather that I view it as better and prefer it.

You are a good editor. My only advice to you is that when you edit things down, as you did to the Eye color article, make sure that you are preserving the references; we have a bot that helps out with that, but care should still be taken. A bot helped out after your revision.

Anyway, take care. If you have any comments for me, feel free to comment on my talk page (of course). Or e-mail me. Flyer22 (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 28 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paleo-Sardinian language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lamb. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
