I'm not disputing that, but it's really unnecessary for that page. -- Scorpion 0422 19:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC) It is misleading to just say what it had. Let's keep it one way for now, while we wait for community consensus. Smartyllama ( talk) 19:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am not a zombie. I am merely using a proxy to watch New York Yankees games on mlb.tv, by fooling the software to think I live in South Korea and not New York. I don't want to be blocked from editing wikipedia until August 2009. please help. thanks!
Decline reason:
There are no blocks on this account at the moment. Try using a different server. — Daniel Case ( talk) 20:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Please do not edit work on the Spackenkill Union Free School District page. You vandalized the work of students and this is simply not acceptable.We have also had to edit your additions to the Nassau School and Hagan School pages. Hagtag ( talk) 14:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Torah study in this respect does not refer specifically to learning from the Five Books of Moses but rather to Torah in the broader sense -- in that vein, "Bible study" hardly cuts it (please see my edit summary). DRosenbach ( Talk | Contribs) 22:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Orangecountyshield.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Radiant chains ( talk) 23:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Smartyllama. You are receiving this message because you are listed on the participant list of WP:NYSR. I am conducting an inactivity check on behalf of the project to see if the project still has an active editor base. The status column on the participant list will be cleared today, and to remain a listed member of the project, you must update your status on the participant list (preferably using the terms "Active", "Semi-active", or "Inactive") which is located here. Those who do not update their status after one week (by the night of June 25) and those who put inactive as their status will be removed from the list. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my talk page or at the "A smorgasbord of topics" section on WT:NYSR. Thank you for your understanding and your time. – T M F 12:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello Smartyllama! Thank you for your contributions. I am a
bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an
Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The
biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure
verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current
759 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{
unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
Thanks!-- DASHBot ( talk) 07:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I was going on the information that was listed in the main article. I realize this is preliminary. If you need to add nations into the list or adjust their marching order, go ahead. Thanks for letting me know though. Chris ( talk) 00:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to use helpme, but I wasn't sure how to alert the appropriate people of a bug that I am encountering while editing. Anyway, in certain articles, the flag of Grenada is displaying like the flag of Dominica (though it appears to be fine when actually inserted as a picture instead of through a Template.) For instance, look at 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification - CONCACAF Second Round or at 2008 Summer Olympics. In both cases, Grenada is added through a template that also includes the flag. It appears to be displaying fine in articles such as Grenada where it actually includes the flag as an image directly as opposed to through a template. Could someone please tell me why and how I can fix it? Thanks! Smartyllama ( talk) 19:59, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Smartyllama! I hadn't been paying attention to AfD for a while, so I wasn't aware this had been going on for months. I've approached the editor on their talk page. They've more or less stopped editing at the moment. Let's give them a chance to play nice. If you want to also join the discussion on the talk page, feel free to do so. I feel like this editor is editing in good faith, but had a big misunderstanding about AfD and the relationship between specific notability guidelines, gng, and what a strain it is on our total resources to deal with articles on AfD. Hopefully a friendly and positive conversation will get them back on the right track! Thanks for all your work at AfD and elsewhere! Jacona ( talk) 21:04, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.— Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 08:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.
Our top scorers in round 1 were:
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).
