FYI, I removed your little essay on this topic from Concurrency (road). Please don't take this personally. The problem is that Wikipedia is not for publication of original thought (see WP:NOT and WP:OR). -- Orlady ( talk) 00:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
i agree that the notes are not needed, but we should not be having such notes within the article naming a user. i am replacing with 'notes removed by consensus', cool? Nableezy ( talk) 17:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
you should stay away from words like vandalism, this isnt vandalism. I left him a note as well, but I think the two of you should talk it out instead of going back and forth with the reverts. I have already said I dont think the notes are needed, and I really am not one to pontificate on civility and not edit-warring, but I think this case can be worked out quite quickly and painlessly if we just talk about it. Peace, Nableezy ( talk) 23:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dovid, Tundrabuggy suggested I ask you why you made the change from the list of armed groups fighting to say Gaza (principally Hamas). I already know the answer to that, but if you could explain it to him here you might be able to answer some questions. Thanks, Nableezy ( talk) 06:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Has the idea behind Template:OtherusesSubtopic, Template:OtherusesAlias and Template:OtherusesSubtopicAlias been discussed somewhere? It seems to fall outside what hatnotes are usually used for, and the potential number of new hatnotes for systematic usage of these templates would be huge.
If X redirects to Y then {{ Redirect}} can be used on Y. If X is mentioned on Y but has its own article or disambiguation page then I think a Wikipedia search of X will list X as the first result, and most users probably click enter or Go and go directly to X. By the way, my website has a page at http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/meaning.htm which may interest you. PrimeHunter ( talk) 01:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I followed up in Talk:Daylight saving time #Old-time "unequal" hours. Are you watching that page? If so, I won't bother you further here. Eubulides ( talk) 00:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Dovid! I looked at the diffs, and almost exactly the same material appears on both versions (I can see I gave a quick definition of "davening" and of "Kashrut"); on the previous version it appears further down on the screen, but the material survived pretty much intact. I think the weirdness occurs if extra blank lines are deleted, though I can't say for sure. I have seen this happen before, but I can't remember which article. If you have some knowledge of the subject matter I would appreciate letting me know of any mistakes I made in interpreting the data. Regards -- Diannaa ( talk) 22:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Dovid, Since you were involved with editing the Hatzalah article I'd like to draw your attention to two discussion that I've opened on the talk page. One, regarding external links and region information and the other regarding using the list of chapters instead of a list in the article. Thank you, Joe407 ( talk) 05:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't really care about that page so much and I don't want to get into an editor war, but it is you who acts like they own the page. You come every so often with an axe to grind, and remove the content. The consensus you speak of is not really there. It is only you and Afoprof who have removed the content in the past year, and more editors who have restored the content, so please refrain from hyporbole that there is a long-standing consensus. You can't assume good faith, and I can't of your actions either. Jeff3000 ( talk) 20:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Chaverim, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaverim.

Thanks for uploading File:Avianca727.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is " Homewrecker". Thank you. Tassedethe ( talk) 20:26, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give
Homewrecker a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

I patrolled your page.

Please reconsider your decision on the Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site entry. This entry is to be linked to Rfam as a new RNA family. Every Rfam entry has a corresponding wikipage. This article describes a novel influenza RNA family and is in-line with other influenza Rfam/Wikipedia pages: e.g. Influenza virus pseudoknot. This addition (for Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site), once linked to Rfam, will be valuable to both Rfam and Wikipedia. Once approved, I will also edit the main influenza article to link to this and the other influenza RNA families, to integrate it into the larger body of knowledge on influenza.

Sorry for the previous note in the wrong spot (I'm not very experienced with wikipedia). Let me re-iterate that this entry is to be linked to Rfam as a new RNA family entry. There is a partnership between Rfam and Wikipedia to have short wiki entries for every family of RNAs in the database. There are hundreds of wiki articles on various RNAs. For more on the collaboration between Rfam and wikipedia see here: RNA journal submits articles to Wikipedia. I wrote this entry to be understandable to college undergrads (and up) and expect it to be useful to students and researchers. I've made made special pains to link to other wiki articles that explain the basic science behind the described work. As for "notability", this page describes an RNA family that been reported in three peer-reviewed journal articles (cited in the page). If you are still having problems with this entry, maybe you could check with the people at the Wikipedia:WikiProject RNA for additional information?

Hi Dovid, I noticed your AfC decline of the article for Dele Jegede here and I was hoping I respectfully might ask you to take a second look. The article was first uploaded as a PDF by user Bolekaja, and it had some glaring problems, which I noted via cleanup tags. I converted the PDF to a bare-bones article, but since then I think some of the issues have been smoothed out, and (while Bolekaja may have jumped the gun, submitting the article prematurely for evaluation when we still need to reformat some references, etc.), I think it is in significantly better shape than a lot of stubs, and I think that the subject Jegede is notable for a number of reasons, especially for the numerous times he is used as a resource for other articles. Anyhow, I'm just asking that you give it a second pass. If it's not ready, it's not ready, and I can understand that, and you'll still be a friend to me! :D Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 04:52, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
I finally made the edit to the Glass-Steagall article you requested. Sorry for the long delay. I'm sure you thought I'd forgotten about it.
Along with creating a sub-article on Glass-Steagall in financial reform proposals, I added summary descriptions of that and of the sub-article on “aftermath of repeal.” A problem with summaries is people seem to edit the summaries without changing the sub-articles that are summarized. I suppose if we eliminated the summaries and just had links to the sub-articles, people would do the same by editing the article’s introduction.
I retained your linking of the “aftermath” sub-article even though I added a summary. You may want to replace the links with a list of the headings as in the other sections that contain summaries. I thought your sub-articles approach worked very well. I see a few things in the text I’ll try correct. The only somewhat significant thing is I’ll try explain why one could consider Sections 20 and 32 “the most important” part of Glass-Steagall.
After I made the change I saw your talk page request that changes not be made without discussion. I think (hope) my change is consistent with what you intended. Sorry if it isn't. In any case, sorry I didn't stick with your approach of using a colon for the sub-articles. I had it that way but made a change for a reason I can't remember. You're definitely right editors are making changes that are inconsistent with limiting the article to the four sections of the '33 Banking Act. EAFAAT ( talk) 23:25, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I felt terrible when I saw your talk page post after making the edit. I can't complain about other people not reading those pages. I like your idea about creating templates to protect the summaries. There is so much inaccurate stuff circulating about Glass-Steagall, and people seem to love putting those things into "convenient" spots in an article even when the rest of the article shows they are false. Again, I like very much what you did to the article. I knew it was ridiculously long when I wrote it, but I figured it was more important to give an accurate account of Glass-Steagall's history. You've made it more manageable. When I get a chance I'll make the minor corrections to the other sub-articles and try spell out better the significance of the affiliation provisions. EAFAAT ( talk) 00:11, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at NEMA connector shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. De728631 ( talk) 19:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.
These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.
Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.
This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 12:02, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

There is a backlog of over 2500 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
Hi. You have commented on Draft v1 or v2 in the Arbitration Committee's 2013 review of the discretionary sanctions system.

Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi there. Your talk page response in twistlock was staggeringly unhelpful. Presumably you're an expert on the subject of containerisation; I'd love you to answer them properly. If you can communicate this information in such a way it can be simply copied and pasted into the article, that would be great! Otherwise you might want to ask one of the other editors to formulate it in English. - Ashley Pomeroy ( talk) 20:18, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Dovid,
You might be interested to see that I'm reopening the issue of duplicate links at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Relax_duplicate_linking_rule. -- Slashme ( talk) 21:35, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Albert Lucas (Jewish activist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Settlements. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've just edited
Glass–Steagall legislation to allow the section "Post-financial crisis reform debate" to be able to be edited in the usual way. It's the first time I've see this {{:
trick, and I'm not impressed, although I can see from your comment back in 28 October 2013 why you thought it might help. No other articles seem to need this.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at
United States Seventh Fleet, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at

"Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."is a policy. I'm in the habit of reverting anything without an inline cite. I'm honestly not trying to be BITEy, so I apologize if it came off that way. I have to consider marginal utility costs in my editing. I seldom look for sources myself although I will on occasion. The citation you just added is fine and I have no problem with it. Chris Troutman ( talk) 19:22, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect PARTRANS. Since you had some involvement with the PARTRANS redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:20, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
