Are you bored?
Please stop ammending our accurate Blackbeard entry on Wikipedia. Chris McCleary is a data pirate and well known as black beard. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Datamonkey|Datamonkey]] ([[User talk:Datamonkey|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Datamonkey|contribs]]) 15:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Apologies if my message is impatient, I was just exasperated. Ive just discussed with our lecturer who pointed out that there were 2 potential men known as black beard, and the one on wiki is indeed as arguably legitimate as Chris McCleary. I will amend the entry to reflect this, and get to the uni library this afternoon to confirm the citation references. Thanks
Hey: I just corrected a welcome message you left. When you use <nowiki>{{welcome4}}</nowiki> you should write <nowiki>{{welcome4|Llamadog903}}</nowiki> and don't forget the <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end. Thanks for welcoming people, though!

==A Few Questions==
When a "controversy" exists on a "discussion page", and a consensus is reached regarding that "controvesy", is it polite, for one person, who did not take part in the controversy to change (or in this instance: remove) a portion that he felt "controversial". Without even going to the "discussion" page first and re-opening the "controversy"? That is: if this happened to you, how would you feel? [[User:Mark Preston|Mark Preston]] 17:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

== A short Esperanzial update ==
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on [[WT:ESP|the ''Esperanza'' talk page]] as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AEsperanza%2FCharter&diff=59977509&oldid=52572171 See what happened]. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace [[User:JoanneB|JoanneB]] and [[User:Pschemp|Pschemp]] and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on [[2006-07-02]] and last until [[2006-07-09]]. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before [[2006-07-02]]. For more details, see [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections]].

Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Satanismsymbol.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:Image:Satanismsymbol.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]].
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

==Trustnet==
Hi, I am new to Wiki, and attempting to upload some information about a fund performance rating system but it keeps getting reported for speedy deletion, because it contains references to the company from which these ratings are issued.
I am contesting this deletion because references to the company in question (Trustnet) are made to support the article I am writing about Crown Ratings - the fund rating which this company uses to rate the performance of mutual funds in various markets.
This is a quantitative rating based on recognised performance ratios, unbiased, independent of any fund provider, and freely available to all, making it relevant to anyone who invests in mutual funds in the markets where these ratings apply, and the rating - as well as the rating provider - are no less worthy of mention than, for example, other ratings agencies featured on Wikipedia such as Standard & Poor's, so I'm a little confused.
Can you help me understand what I need to do to ensure that the ratings appear on Wiki, without compromising the purpose of the encyclopedia?
For info - this is what I am trying to draw attention to - http://www.trustnet.com/general/ratings.asp
== Please stop tagging CSD tags until you review what they mean. ==
Hi, I noticed you tagged two articles with db-nocontext [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Am%C3%ADlcar_Christ%C3%B3faro&diff=225012316&oldid=225012235 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vic_Tablian&diff=225012389&oldid=225012291 here]. The first one is supposed to be a db-band as a non-notable band. However the second one is really not "no-context" since it did mention that the person is an actor in an internally linked British show article.

== Welcome to [[WP:CPS|WikiProject Carnivorous plants]]! ==
Hi there! I see we suffer from the same affliction: an obsession with carnivorous plants. Glad to have you aboard. Just a heads up, as you can probably tell from the project talk page, we're not all that active. Many of the main members are busy in real-life and can't make big contributions. That being said, you've probably seen [[User:Mgiganteus1]] around on the ''[[Nepenthes]]'' articles and I'm finishing off the final few stubs of ''[[Utricularia]]'', though I specialize in ''[[Stylidium]]''. [[User:NoahElhardt]], when he's around, spends a lot of time on ''[[Pinguicula]]''. Anything you specialize in? Right now, as a project, we lack basic stubs for many species, but we are also in need of a few more featured articles. Let me know if anything grabs your attention that you might like to collaborate on. I'm always up for a change of pace from my stub creation. I've also got access to plenty of resources (primary journals), so if you ever come across something you need and can't get, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Anyway, enough blathering for now. Again, welcome! Cheers, [[User:Rkitko|Rkitko]] <sup><small>([[User talk:Rkitko|talk]])</small></sup> 02:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at [[Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion]].

I am also available for some adminship mentoring... Perhaps not a fulltime "official" mentor, but I can definitely answer any questions that you may have, or review certain situations that you are dealing with. My own area of expertise right now, is analyzing dispute resolutions procedures, especially in cases dealing with articles that are in longterm chronic edit wars.

==Smolt (Linux) speed deletion==
The reason for my comment here is that you declared my first contribution (stub) [[Smolt (Linux)]] as candidate for speedy deletion, and whole process was so fast that when I've found your message there was no deletion marker anymore. Amazing.

== John Burgess (bagpiper) ==
You might consider reading articles before nominating them for speedy deletion. If an article says someone was "one of the most eminent players of the Scots bagpipes" and provides a reference to back it up, it's hard to see how you can suggest that it "does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject".

Hey! I'm out doing RC Patrol right now, too, and I wanted to ask you about a reversion that you made. It was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Exhibitionism&diff=next&oldid=264804610|this one]. I see that you marked it as vandalism and left the level 1 vandalism warning on the user's talk page, but I had also looked at that particular edit and was thinking that it was probably a good faith edit -- they were saying that flashing also referred to exposing of a man's genitals, which I feel was a reasonable contribution. I hope you don't find my questioning offensive, I was just wondering why you found that to be vandalism?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]]. Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]]. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] ([[User talk:SuggestBot|talk]]) 02:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
