Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis [1] [2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.
I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.
Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)
To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=60059505 ( HTTPS).
Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis ( talk) 10:38, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.
UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. -- Michael Tsikerdekis ( talk) 19:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited USS Vincennes (CG-49), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arabian Gulf ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Keep in mind that while Hanja may not be used widely in North Korea, this article isn't written for North Koreans who largely don't have internet access anyway. It's written for English speaking people who may benefit from knowing how to write the country's name in Hanja regardless of its geographic boundaries. Rklawton ( talk) 02:22, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, regarding your edit summary here, the relevant guidance is at WP:DABRL. There should generally be only one blue link per entry. It is OK to include a redlink with a blue link so long at the redlink meets the criteria there. older ≠ wiser 13:14, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
There are indeed a lot of problems with the article but concentrating on the CDP is extremely misleading. Most of the CDP is actually not part of the planned community.

A tag has been placed on USAA (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Thanks for uploading File:The Flag Of The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Interesting series of edits I've had on the way to you; reaching you specifically via the redirect page YouTube Poops. There's this remnant from 2004 still casting -- well, it was the one that felt maybe really dirty. Here was a step in my exploration, the wide net. Here was the starting point, masterfully found with "WikiBlame"+-; heard of it?; and a curious step on the way. Anyway, with that intro and your "clean slate" Talk page (some ref to archive but no signposts to such for sure) and signs-of-pride-and-accomplishment User page (and your name vaguely familiar though I can't recall the path crossing if there was one), I'll now take my chances and refer you to Talk:Youtube Poops (looks like the talk page didn't get the capital "T" treatment somehow); hat's in hand. Cheers.
ps My micro-crusade is wrapped up, now, for now. More to be done on it I know (beyond "my" four). Fitting somehow it feels to finish them up by chance here, "my most distinguished ... contact" perhaps I'd call you, in the series. Any advice, feedback or comment certainly welcome.

Wrong Emerson! General Emerson is alive. You made this edit and several others. Please never add death or birth info into an article, especially a BLP, unless you have rock solid evidence from reliable sources to show it's the correct person. Your errors have been corrected and the matter is being discussed at the BLP/Noticeboard and on the article's talk page. Thank you. -- 76.189.111.199 ( talk) 21:30, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
You replied to my comments but immediately removed/archived them. So I will respond to your comments directed to me. You said, "I did not add the death, it was already there. I just simply edited the information that was already on the article. I'd advise you not to go around making these false accusations". [3] I'm sorry, but there was absolutely nothing false in what I stated. While there was one editor shortly before you who made a single edit which added birth and death dates in the infobox, [4] you are the one who added the "Later life and death" section (with zero sources) with the text, "Emerson died on January 7, 2011, at the age of 82, in Camden, Arkansas." [5] I didn't say you were the only editor to add erroneous info; I simply advised you that you must have solid proof before you add content, especially something as contentious a death or birth date in a BLP. Had you looked at the source provided by the prior editor, you should have immediately realized that it was completely unreliable because it provided no information whatsoever to prove that it was about General Emerson. So your edits - unintentionally, I'm sure - perpetuated a huge error in the article: mistaken identity resulting in content about the death of a highly-decorated three-star general who is very much alive. You claimed I made "false accusations", but there was nothing in my comments that were false. ("Wrong Emerson! General Emerson is alive. You made this edit and several others. Please never add death or birth info into an article, especially a BLP, unless you have rock solid evidence from reliable sources to show it's the correct person. Your errors have been corrected and the matter is being discussed at the BLP/Noticeboard and on the article's talk page.") Which part(s) of that are false? I know you meant well and were trying to improve the article. On behalf of a number of other editors who have been working to resolve this matter, I am simply asking you to be careful in the future. If you see content from another editor that isn't reliably sourced - especially content as contentious as someone's death - please do not add on to it. Instead, do the opposite: remove it. Thanks. -- 76.189.111.199 ( talk) 23:10, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. This is an article that is on my watchlist, mainly for the songwriter whose bio I have worked on. I generally agree with and thank you for your changes. I also have followed them by adding 3 footnote sources. However there was one thing - the ref to a 2018 Free Govt of Vietnam anthem which I reverted because it seemed uncontroversial and unsourced, but I am informing you since if it can be sourced then by all means restore it, perhaps lower down the article. You may also be interested in looking at other anthem, song and also poem and declaration of independence articles such as Bình Ngô đại cáo and Nam Quoc Son Ha. Best wishes.

In a recent edit to the page T-72, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Thomas.W ( talk) 16:33, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
( Personal attack removed) In spite of that I have reverted your changes from UK spelling to US spelling, which are clearly against the Manual of Style, and have also changed the infoboxes back to UK English. ( Personal attack removed) Thomas.W ( talk) 17:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Illegitimate Barrister - I noticed that we had a little back and forth on Andrew Wiggins over the addition of "Canada" to "Toronto, Ontario" in the infobox of his article. I since have noticed that you have been adding "U.S." to several basketball figures' infoboxes (e.g. - Kim English). I apologize for not noting a reason for my Wiggins revert. I do want to point out that USPLACE does not require the addition of "US," ""United States," or "USA" to city/state and that convention on basketball infoboxes is not to add it. With Canadian articles, Manual of Style/Canada-related articles has similar language surrounding city/province. On the US front, this convention has been pretty well established. Thanks and I apologize for any misunderstanding. Rikster2 ( talk) 13:39, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Illegitimate Barrister, I see you recently made some changes to the Brian Lamb article, which I've worked on in the past (and so have watchlisted). All looks good except for one thing, and I'd like to know if you'll reconsider one change. First though, let me say that in addition to being a fan of C-SPAN, I'm also a consultant to the network. Because of this COI I won't be making direct changes to the article, though I often discuss updates and suggested revisions on Talk pages, as I'd like to do here.
Specifically, I noticed that you took the top-level C-SPAN section and made it a subsection of a larger Career section (itself renamed from Early career). While I see how this makes sense from an organizational standpoint, I strongly believe that given the length of Brian Lamb's career at C-SPAN and his role in the establishment of the network, the information on C-SPAN makes the best sense as its own section, as it was before. Would you be open to returning the C-SPAN section to a level 2 heading and changing Career back to Early career? Let me know what you think. Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 13:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, me again. I'm glad you're amenable to my suggestion; only thing is that with just one subhead in Career, that being C-SPAN, then it's the latter which really should be the top-level heading. As it stands now, Career and C-SPAN are redundant. Would you be willing to make that change as well? Thanks in advance, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 14:29, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Flags of the U.S. counties requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Mat ty. 007 09:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Illegitimate Barrister, could you please intervene on the South Vietnam article and page-protect the article?

Wow, you archive quickly, I didn't even get a chance to respond! Third party sources and compendia-type websites such as IMDB and Yahoo! Movies do not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for personal info in BLPs. IMDB especially is known to contain incorrect and unreliable biographical data and this is why there is long-time consensus against its use as an inline citation in BLPs (see for example here, here, and here). As such I have again removed the content until a source meeting WP:BLPSOURCES can be found. -- Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 00:33, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edit of United States Coast Guard assumes that the change in control of the Coast Guard occurred at the formation of the Department of Homeland Security. The actual transfer of control of the Coast Guard from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security happened on 1 March 2003. I know because I was called to active duty 2 days before the actual transfer to help with the security of the Strategic Port of Embarkation at the Port of Beaumont Texas before the invasion of Iraq.

Hello. It looks like I need some help with my first (and currently only) Wikipedia article. I created the article for BG Frost. Obviously, I am a newcomer to Wikipedia and need some help with the standards and conventions relating to articles . . . especially VANITY articles like this one. So far, I simply followed the style and content of other living U.S. Army Generals Wikipedia articles. I'll be glad to find and obtain references/verifications if possible. If not, I will remove any offending passages. I'm just not sure which parts need citations/verifications. Again, I can only go by what I see on many other U.S. Army General's Wikipedia entries. Also, some of your changes make sense. There a few I don't understand. Example: the "big star" (my way) versus the "epaulette" (your way) image in the Infobox. All of the other General's pages use the star. That's would be my preference here. Feel free to contact me and give me a hand getting this article right and compliant with Wikipedia standards. I am working on two other articles that I MAY consider submitting later this year. I'll want to be correct from the start. Thanks for your time. Afrosty ( talk) 22:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

What are your thoughts on collaborating on the article Hal Moore? I have been working on it off and on for the last couple of weeks and I am quite frankly stuck in a few places. Your edits seem to help jog some thoughts of how to proceed. I would like to get this article done because General Moore's son Greg has been prodding me along to get the article's contents right (there were several factual errors that needed corrected and referenced) and up to Wikipedia standards. My initial goal was B-class. My time is somewhat limited at this time of the year but I told him that I could probably get it done sometime during February. Care to help? Let me know.

Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Your edits of the article USCGC Aspen (WLB-208) are very much appreciated, especially the picture and patch as I always have trouble getting those right. I have concern about the last edit made [6] here. I generally use a short form of citation that does not link to the website used directly but I always include the link in the "Reference cited" section below the "Citations". If you will click on the third reference listed you will see that your link actually duplicates mine. I feel that it cleans up the list of citations and makes a cleaner looking section. Would you mind if I changed it to the way I had it? My plan is to go through the whole Juniper-class of articles and get them up to at least B-class. Many of the articles are just copies of the Coast Guard website. I could use your help in copyedit as my style is somewhat stilted at times and certainly with the pictures and unit patches. That would be very much appreciated. Your idea of "mergin'" the history section with "The Original Aspen" section was something I had not thought of and I like it. Thank you...

Here's another Juniper-class that had no article... USCGC Kukui (WLB-203). I have some of it roughed out and it really needs your touch to make it look nice. What do you think? "Team IB/C17" ??? or is it India Bravo/Charlie One Seven ??? I'd appreciate your help on pix and other goodies. Thanx Cuprum17 ( talk) 20:28, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Next "victim" is USCGC Willow (WLB-202). It already has a picture but it could use a unit patch here and copyedit on what I have already edited. I have run out of time today so I will have to work on a history section later. Thanx for the help... I am AFK for now. Cuprum17 ( talk) 19:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
I read a comment that the bird is bigger than the ship on this article...perhaps we need a picture of the ship that is larger so that more detail is seen? Is that a problem? The article passed B-class review, but that was mentioned. Cuprum17 ( talk) 23:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Last Ship (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page On the Beach ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Noticed that you had sent me a notification, & wanted to respond. I'm sure this vehicle (leaving a message on your Talk page) is probably not the ideal way to communicate casually, but I don't know of a better way (open to suggestions). The email address I had used when I set up my User page here is no longer valid, & I haven't bothered to update it, otherwise I would be happy to use that in a situation like this. Anyway, I didn't want to give the impression that I hwas ignoring your communication. Drop me a line on my user talk if you wish, & if you can enlighten me on these matters, I'd appreciate that.

In the list of maritime disasters article, I noticed you changed some of the {{ flag}} templates from USA to United States. The reason I changed them to USA was so that they would group together when the table was sorted - for example, if you wanted to find the worst maritime disaster in the US. I don't care if it's "US", "USA", or "United States", and all 3 arguments work with the template - but I would like to keep them all the same within the entire article. Is there a reason you prefer "United States"? Hoof Hearted ( talk) 20:44, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Your edits of Ellsworth P. Bertholf are much appreciated. However during the time that the Bear was operated by the Revenue Cutter Service, she was known as USRC Bear rather than USS Bear. Bear was probably one of the most famous cutters in RCS/USCG history yet the article is named USS Bear. She spent 41 years as a RCS/USCG cutter and only 5 years as a commissioned Navy ship, but when I tried to change the name of the article early in my Wikipedia career I caught sooooooo much flak that I left it alone. Would urge you to change your edit in the Bertholf article to USRC Bear. Thanks for your interest, IB...and your copy edits are usually right on the mark. Cuprum17 ( talk) 02:49, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Good afternoon, I.B....I'm working on a stub article about a Revenue Cutter Service officer by the name of Frank Newcomb. The article lacks a picture of him and I have found public domain pictures of on the Coast Guard Historian's website, but they are buried in PDF files which I can't seem to do much with. The is also a real nice painting in the public domain on page 5 of the PDF file that might be a nice addition to the article as well as the one on USRC Hudson. Could you find the time to work on this for me? I'm still editing the Newcomb article, but after I'm done you can put your eye on that also; that is if you have the time and interest.

Hi Illegitimate Barrister- Again you have replaced a perfectly viable original illustration with a PNG file that has a very harsh crop and actually cuts out part of the original art work.

IB, thank you for your edits to my "ribbon rack" on my user page. There are a couple of revisions, however. The Army Presidential Unit Citation was actually the Air Force Presidential Unit Citation, even though I served in the Army. Our military intelligence unit worked very closely with the 460th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing [8] to get aerial imagery taken by them processed, interpreted, and distributed to Army and Marine Corps units in the field; and when they were awarded the AFPUC, so were we. On our MIBARS Association page [9] towards the bottom of the page where the old unit personnel photos are I am #7 in the first photo. I am not in the second unit photo, because I was taking the photograph (standing in the back of a deuce and a half). In the last picture on the page is a photo-mosaic shot of our operations area right next door to Bien Hoa Air Base. I took the series of shots that were put into the mosaic. I worked in the low flat building in the center of the photograph as a senior photographic laboratory specialist for two years. Yes, I extended my normal one year tour by an additional year...
The other change is the pistol qualification ribbon. Try as I might, I could not qualify with the M9 Beretta pistol that the Coast Guard used while I was active. In the Army, I qualified many times with the M1911 Colt, but that doesn't carry over to my Coast Guard record. I did manage to qualify through the Coast Guard with the M16 rifle, and that is the ribbon that should be displayed. For your information, while I was in the Army I also qualified on the M1 rifle, M14 rifle, M16 rifle, M1 carbine, M2 "grease gun" and the M60 machine gun, but again those things don't carry over to the Coast Guard awards records.
Additionally, there should be an "O" device on both the Coast Guard Unit Commendation and the Meritorious Team Commendation ribbons. if you want to put these on there that would be great.
I have researched my records, and in my Coast Guard Reserve Good Conduct Medal I have six (Six!) awards of the medal, so I think I need a silver star for that one. (The medal itself and five additional awards.) (I was a good conduct sailor!)
Thanks again and if you want to, make the changes... as always your copy edits are usually right on the mark... Cuprum17 ( talk) 17:35, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

Hi, please ensure your edits to infoboxes are not violating our MoS and other template instructions. For example, with this edit, you introduced two errors. The "Years of service" should be expressed as years only (hence "years" of service, not "dates" of service). See the instructions at {{ Infobox military person}} and featured military bios such as George S. Patton for example. Second, date ranges should always be expressed with unspaced en dashes per WP:ENDASH. You should revert yourself anywhere else you have made these changes. -- Laser brain (talk) 14:02, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

IB: Someone did a driveby hack on your talk page yesterday, and I thought you should know. I rolled the post back, I hope that was OK. I confess that I "watch" your page so that I know what kind of projects you are working on at the moment. I hope my action helped and not hindered; I wouldn't have attempted any rollback except the hack did not appear to be productive and I believe that a persons talk page should only be edited by that person.

Thank you for your vote of confidence recently regarding my contributions on Civil War related material. On another matter, I am getting sustained pushback to sourced information I would like to add to the encyclopedia at United States intro sentence. References to “50 states and DC” which omit the territories are almanacs in Spring 2013 discussion and databases in Fall 2014 discussion. I ask for sources to justify the leap from "unincorporated territories" for internal tax regime in primary documents to territories as "not a part of the United States in any sense", --- but none are forthcoming. I am accused of wp:cherry picking and wp:original research, debate tricks and twisting references, disruption and sea-lioning by experienced, major contributing wikipedia editors.
Most recently Seqqis tried to add territories and was dismissed without rationale by Golbez as there is currently a mediation in process. That process may fail as the 2013 Dispute Resolution process did. A valued historian wikipedian, Rjensen, has counseled "leave it to the lawyers" or something like that. In the meantime, sincerely, -- on the merits, --What am I missing? TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 14:55, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
re: your sources, agreed in these ways.
Preference, -- also probably besides the point in the collaborative mainspace -- : Since (a) the five major territories are included in the United States “in a geographical sense” (not constitutionally a state), and (b) their populations are U.S. citizens/nationals with permanent allegiance to the U.S., (c) they enjoy a degree of self-governance under protection of federal courts, and (d) they participate in the national councils with delegate Members of Congress equivalent to that of Washington DC,
THEREFORE they are part of the U.S. federal republic: The United States is a federal republic comprising 50 states, a federal district and five major territories. [Note: States send Representatives to Congress, DC and the territories send delegate Members of Congress; the 50 states and DC have Electoral College votes electing the U.S. President, the territories do not.] TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 09:56, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
1. Sources -- selection from among two dozen...
I can find no scholar who looks at the primary sourced "unincorporated territories" for an internal discriminatory tax regime and then concludes they are "not a part of the United States" for every sense in the modern era. In fact, the opposite seems to be true in the case of Puerto Rico. A federal district court has ruled unchallenged for seven years that Congress evolved a political incorporation by statute of Puerto Rico "in fact" p. 26 [18], and scholars Lawson and Sloan in the Boston Law Review note Puerto Rico is the paradigm of an "incorporated" territory as modern jurisprudence understands that term of art p. 1175 [19].
2. Article United States introductory sentence.
3. Content. The U.S. is a federal republic consisting of 50 states, a federal district, and five major territories. -- as sourced with scholarly reliable sources above. Two scholarly sources omitting territories also omit DC, which is not acceptable among the editor consensus. Since 1988 the constitutional privileges and immunities clause has applied to the territories p.28 [20], and like DC the five major territories have a delegate Member of Congress for participation in the national councils of the federal republic in the American tradition for territories p.297 [21].
4. Counter argument.

What is the purpose of adding the "|border" to the images on articles? It causes an error on mouseover and won't display the profile image. I have reverted this change now 3 times on the Barack Obama article, asking for an explanation on the Talk page. And you keep adding it without giving an explanation. If it is not necessary (I see no benefit on display using any device I use to browse Wikipedia), then it should not be added. Thanks. Dave Dial ( talk) 02:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
You are still adding the "|border" to images in articles. As I've seen on your Talk page, it is purely aesthetic and not necessary. Since you have seen that it causes an error and prohibits the image from showing during a mouseover, it should be removed from all articles. Most especially articles of people with images, where editors want to see the image for information during a mouseover. If you continue to add this to articles, we will have to discuss this behaviour at the appropriate venue. Dave Dial ( talk) 05:21, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Why are you still adding the "|border" unnecessarily to images, even though you know it causes an error? Why do we have to make this an official policy to NOT do, when you are obviously an editor trying to improve the project? I can bring this to ANI or some other board to force you to stop, but that shouldn't be necessary. So I am asking you one last time, please stop adding the border to images. They prevent the image being shown on mouseover and cause errors. Dave Dial ( talk) 18:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kayla Mueller. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

To Illegitimate Barrister:
I have indeed read, at your suggestion, the article on vandalism, and it only confirms my previous statement. You are a vandal because your edit was in bad faith. It was clearly intended as a provocative act, which added nothing to the ordinary reader’s understanding of the article. People come to the article to learn about Samuel Johnson, not to be confused by the internal political technicalities of the British Empire, all of which can be found in other articles in great detail. You made this edit not to improve factual accuracy, but only to promote your own political and cultural viewpoint. It is therefore unacceptable, which is why it was undone.
London, the city Samuel Johnson loved, and in which he spent his entire working life, is now, and has always been, in England. SamJohn2013 ( talk) 14:19, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Please excuse my ignorance of how to get in touch. Please research the Texas Constable more. There are statements in the page that are untrue. The Texas Constitution requires the constable to attend JP Court, they are not legally able to employ a bailiff unless they are in Bexar County. Also please research the beginning of the Texas Constable as they are 3 months older than the Texas Rangers. This is what I have been taught and trained.

Howdy! I noticed you changed the status from "Former Independent Nation" to "Sovereign country" on the Republic of Texas article Diff. I just wanted to give you a heads up that there has been extensive argumentation about this subject recently and there is an active discussion about it on the talk page HERE. The status field on the Former Country Infobox is for the current status of former nations, as can be seen when looking at other such examples in the related [ Former Countries in North America category. While I personally think that the Republic of Texas is still a good idea, unless I missed something in the news today "Former Independent Nation" is more accurate. - CompliantDrone ( talk) 21:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I like the concept of using an older Presidential seal on these series boxes. However, I'm going to revert these for the time being, as I am presently working on a high-resolution colorized version of the 1850 seal design, so that the series box looks proper. The current file is all white with pencil, so it looks drab and low-resolution at a size of 40px. Once I finish the colorized version, based off the present seal, I'll reintroduce. While I agree it is preferable to have the seal of proximate vintage, I think it is better to have a colorized and attractive such seal as opposed to the white + pencil one, which is of lesser value in present form. Thanks! Spartan7W § 13:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I see you've added a new, "1542" flag variant to Template:Country data Scotland, and you've already replaced the default variant with that one in some articles (such as 1998 FIFA World Cup). First, could you please confirm that all articles dealing with events up to 2003 should now be displaying the "1542" variant, and all articles dealing with later events should be displaying the default variant? Second, what was the precise date in 2003 when the flag change took place? This is of interest for articles such as UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying Group 5, which covers events throughout the year 2003. Please confirm this for me, and then I'll adjust some more Scotland flags where that's necessary. -- Theurgist ( talk) 01:30, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Please follow guidelines and return the image and its caption to the status quo, have a look at the earlier discussion on the matter, and, if you wish to pursue it further, seek to form a new consensus for any change. -- ₪ MIESIANIACAL 23:30, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Settling Accounts: Drive to the East, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jonathan Moss. 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.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, IB! Thanks for your edits on my material throughout the past year. I probably need someone following me around cleaning up my edits more than I would like to admit. lol! I don't know how much time I can spend on Wikipedia this coming year as I am beginning a off-the-frame overhaul of my 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep early this spring. This is going to take most of my time for at least two or three months. I have owned it since 1969 and I have ignored its condition for far too long. Got to run, but I thought that I would leave you a short Seasons Greetings message, old buddy... Cuprum17 ( talk) 18:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC).

Since Template:Denominations of the United States was mainly created to be part of Template:Denominations of Christianity, MOS:NOTUSA seems to indicate that "US" should be used to match use of "UK" in Template:Denominations of the United Kingdom. Per WP:BRD, if you disagree, please discuss to gain WP:CON before reverting. The best place to record such a discussion would seem to be Template talk:Denominations of Christianity. tahc chat 09:26, 7 January 2016 (UTC).
Parts of your original edit have been edited by several editors. There is no reason to add nationality to the infobox and there is no reason to change England to United Kingdom (most articles will simply state England, Scotland or Wales instead of United Kingdom).

Thanks for uploading File:American Author William Brinkley Circa 1956 CE.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:22, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Chiropractors literally DO serve as PCP's and often better than their GP MD counterparts. Just created this account and my sole purpose is to have the chiropractic page corrected. You can do so willingly or it can be a struggle but it will be changed as the information is misleading and disrespectful to doctors of chiropractic as well as every single viewer of Wikipedia who isnt receiving accurate info, and instead is just hearing one mans lopsided version of the truth.

I'm not sure if you can facilitate, but I might also suggest keeping an eye on YahwehSaves, continuing to use 75.79.31.20 as a sockpuppet. I'm active-duty military, so I can't dedicate the time necessary to back-track/research all the uncited/unreferenced/original content edits made ( Chesty Puller, George Armstrong Custer, Fergie Jenkins, "A" Device), some resulting in edit wars. He's been disruptive for years, I just don't have the time to pursue him anymore. Sorry for any inconvenience Bullmoosebell ( talk) 02:32, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you have recently been editing the Murder of Kyle Dinkheller and Murder of Darrell Lunsford pages. It was actually me who originally created the Darrell Lunsford page and added it to wikipedia - my first ever article. The reason I'm messaging you is to point out a simple search issue. If you search on the wikipedia page for simply Kyle Dinkheller, the redirect link that comes up is this: Kyle dinkheller, with the "d" being in lower case instead of upper. You can see the redirect page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Kyle_dinkheller&redirect=no. Is it not more appropriate to delete this redirect page and simply just have this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Kyle_Dinkheller&redirect=no as the redirect page with the "d" being in upper case? Perhaps you could fix this? Regards. DrAcHeNWiNgZz ( talk) 00:12, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you inappropriately alter an image. I have asked you many times to stop causing these errors by inserting "|border" into the infoboxes in articles. The next stop is ANI. This is ridiculous that you insist on this unneeded stupid border on images even though it causes errors. The only reason I have not already brought this to ANI is that you improve so many articles with your gnome work. Stop it. Dave Dial ( talk) 01:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
