A tag has been placed on List of iconic smokers, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g1.
Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Regarding your comment at Talk:Islam and antisemitism, please see the third box at the top of that page. Thanks. -- Hi Ev 20:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I have mentioned your username in evidence presented at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Matthew Hoffman/Evidence. Your contributions were mentioned to provide context prior to the central events of the case. GRBerry 00:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I've improved the Liberal eugenics article. Any comments? -- Loremaster ( talk) 02:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I've removed your {dubious} tags ( [1]) from the breast cancer article. Both statements were supported by footnotes from reputable, reliable sources (the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and Cancer Research UK).
I'm not even sure what you found dubious about the statements—breast cancer in men is rarer than in women, but still represents about 1% of all breast cancer cases. If you have specific concerns, please review the footnoted material and discuss your questions on the article talk page. TenOfAllTrades( talk) 16:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally, after a look at some of your other recent contributions, I'm quite worried about your use of {dubious} tags in general. Perhaps you ought to use some different tools for a while. Questioning whether or not nicotine is addictive ( [2]) hasn't been a defensible position for some decades, and the statements are well-supported by high-quality references in the same paragraph.

Your past commentary suggests you'd have more insight you might like to share respecting Pandeism. If so please do so. Pandeist ( talk) 06:00, 27 February 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. For the Election committee,

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 02:45, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November.

If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you're referring to specifically, but this account isn't blocked, and hasn't ever been [3] – and certainly not by me. Your IP might be, but I can't help you without specifics. If you tell me more about the issue you are facing, I'm happy to take a look.
For what it's worth, administrator is not a paid position that I could be fired from; also, – and that's just a general observation – calling people obtuse liars and/or far right extremists has a tendency to make them less inclined to try and help you out. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 20:22, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
