I formally want to apologize to all those to whom I caused trouble, and sincerely thank all those who have offered advice. I will be revisiting the criterion for speedy deletion, and will refrain from tagging those articles that are not themselves blatant violations. I do ask that if I still mess up, you tell me what I've done wrong. I am very familiar with WP:DICK, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, and WP:AGF. A firm comment does not have to be attacking in nature.
Thanks to everyone for helping and commenting on my contributions to this project. As a community, I'd love to fit in and not push anyone overboard. We must paddle towards Jimbo's vision together, and I emplore your help. I admit it: I have a problem with policy. That's the first step.

This article is pertinent to the loyal following of Irish heavy metal, and is the first of many on the topic. It is unclear as to why it is a candidate for speedy deletion at your behest. Please clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike McGrath-Bryan ( talk • contribs) 18:01, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
I have referenced an interview and plan to include more sources as time allows. How are articles meant to be expanded upon if deleted immediately? Mike McGrath-Bryan ( talk) 19:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Interviews composed with the band, my own personal knowledge of the band and its releases. Why does this article concern you anyway? It's not fair to discriminate against an article because its subject doesn't match your tastes. Mike McGrath-Bryan ( talk) 19:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Just got a call from the band expressing their approval for the page :-) 89.101.235.109 ( talk) 21:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Good lord, your editnotice is huge.
Anyway, I don't see the copyright violation at
Channel partner. Not sure if you got the right page with
[1] or if I'm just blind. Could you double check and possibly retag it, maybe with some more info on the talk page if it's not clear cut?
Thanks,

Hi,
I noticed some of your edits a few weeks ago, regarding all the CSD's etc. I was wondering how to write a suitable comment to you; I saw that you were polite in your response to all the people that you tagged incorrectly, but I was also concerned that you were putting incorrect tags on aa *lot* of pages, and sorry doesn't really work that many times. I was looking for an appropriate way to suggest you stopped tagging for a while.
So - I've now read your apology and request for input, and now feel confident enough to leave you a note.
I've just had a quick look at your last couple of edits, and there's a number of questions immediately;
You added

1881 - June 16, 1959) was an American businessman and agriculturist." Nothing much wrong with
that.
OK, I'm only going to look back that far, but I hope the point is made.
Perhaps you could go over other edits yourself, and ask yourself similar questions. As a point, there is no way that you can assess and tag an article in a matter of seconds. Slow down, sit back, take a look at the thing from an independent point of view.
With best intentions, I would suggest that you refrain from tagging articles for a while. Why not create some new ones of your own, or develop others.
Oh - and would you mind removing the animated Jimmy from your home page, which screws access to menus? And I'd rather, when editing your talk page, I didn't have to scroll through 2 screens of warnings and user boxes etc.

I noticed my name at the top of the page. I'd be willing to help. Do you use IRC at all? If so, I was going to suggest that we could patrol some new pages together for half an hour and discuss what needs to be done, if anything, to each one. Let me know if this sounds agreeable.

Someone, probably you, has applied for access to the Wikipedia Internal Account Creation tool and given this username. Can you please confirm that it was you? Stifle ( talk) 11:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Your editnotice is really big. Please consider reducing it somewhat. Stifle ( talk) 11:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I declined your speedy deletion nomination. While the article has problems, I'm sure you would have figured out the context if you had read it. It was pretty clear to me. Toddst1 ( talk) 14:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
You're very welcome! Reverting vandalism has recently become one of my hobbies... unfortunately it is directly interfering with my school work... Kehrbykid ( talk) 17:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. You recently placed a "Suspected Sock Puppet" notice on my page because a user mentioned my website URL in their sandbox. As was noted the past two times I was accused of sockpuppetry, just because a user mentions my website somewhere, doesn't automatically mean that user is me in disguise. I have never engaged in sockpuppetry nor tried to advertise my site on here. My site documents a topic that has a Wikipedia article, and is referred to in most of the sources on that article, so it's not strange that from time to time someone mentions my site on here. Last time this happened admin User:Jehochman suggested I ask anyone else who accuses me of sockpuppetry to talk to him as he is aware of my situation. As your SSP contains no actual evidence linking me to the other user, may I suggest that you withdraw it and save everyone's time? Many thanks, Kernow ( talk) 16:56, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Can you please explain on WP:UAA how the name Nikkysaurus is offensive? §hawn hath 21:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
might be calling this Nikky person a -saurus. I was almost 60% sure an article about a -saurus would follow.
Administrators can assign the right. I don't believe non-administrators will be getting it, but there really has been no discussion about it to my knowledge. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 01:04, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi there; you just dropped a template on this user's page, querying his username. I would like you to look, if you would, at wiki policy on usernames. Most are ok, some are worth querying, and some, such as this one, which attacks another wiki editor, are clearly immediately unacceptable, and should be immediately reported at WP:UAA. Happy wikying.-- Anthony.bradbury "talk" 21:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. The
recent reversion you made to the page
Maccabees has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the
sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative
edit summary. You may also wish to read the
introduction to editing. Thank you.

May I ask what your reasoning for this is? There does not seem to be an NPOV problem to me, nor any significant synthesis issues. If the problems you are referring to are in the last few sections (the stuff under "Criticism and controversy"), rest assured I know those sections are unsatisfactory and I'm working to fix them. The article is presently under construction (though admittedly I haven't worked much on it the last few days), and I've yet to clean up those last few paragraphs. Nevertheless I don't see any significant POV or synthesis issues there, and I don't think those tags are warranted until the article is no longer under construction. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 02:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent contributions to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, please take a moment to review your contributions for spelling, grammatical, capitalization, and punctuation errors before you save. This will help lessen the amount of copyediting others must do on the article, and will help maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance of Wikipedia. You might want to consider using the
Firefox web browser, which has spell-check built-in, installing the
ieSpell extension for Internet Explorer, or
setting up spell-check for Opera.

Hi there
Robin Esrock is an internationally recognized television and media personality. His television show is viewed in over 50 countries worldwide on National Geographic, and his writing is read by millions of readers in over a dozen major publications. As a personal fan, compared to many other wiki entries, I believe he warrants inclusion. I have listed 24 references that confirm and verify all the facts presented. I am new to wiki though, so I apologize if the formatting is wrong...I can't figure out how to make them correct! If you can help me with that I'd be most thankful!

Hi. Re your post on my talk page, I do not see any personal attacks there. All I recall and all I see is an addition to the Calhoun page regarding his great-great grand daughter, African American Lena Horne. Please elaborate.
if this is reference to my referral of Calhoun as a white supremacist, please note that the article states, explicitly:
Whereas other Southern politicians had excused slavery as a necessary evil, in a famous February 1837 speech on the Senate floor, Calhoun went further, asserting that slavery was a "positive good." He rooted this claim on two grounds—white supremacy and paternalism.
I will place the text of my original edit back into the article. 75.71.95.191 ( talk) 00:01, 21 May 2009 (UTC)refractionsofthedawn
