John Travolta

Good work on the John Travolta article! Welcome to WP!--Lwieise -=- Talk to Me 03:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Victor E. Marsden

Superb job of changing that article from a laughable mess. Now it's mostly an article about someone who probably doesn't merit an article at all -- it's really yet another of Ludvikus' articles about the history of the Protocols, and someday we'll figure out a way to collate his obviously extensive research into something more suited to Wikipedia.

Keith Olbermann

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your cleanup on Keith Olbermann. Nice job. I'm sure someone will yell at you for the lack of edit summaries, but it won't be me. --BigScaryMike _{(Talk/Contrib)} 03:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Eric Clapton article

Hi, it's nice to see someone even more liberal than I! I have a blog @ http://leftwingwiil.tumblr.com/ BUT more importantly, I noticed you did recent edit(s) to Eric Clapton. This article was demoted from being a Featured Article. I just wanted your opinion. I noticed you did not have an e-mail button as other Wikipedia editors do. if you want to answer the questions below, you can click onto V Schauf (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC) and press the "talk" link next to it. I want to make the Clapton article a Featured Article again. Do you think that this article deserved to be demoted? What would improve this article? Have you read Clapton's autobiography? I wanted to write to you and others who recently edited the Clapton article. Thanks for your time.V Schauf (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Good cleanup

Good job on cleaning up Politics of Bill O'Reilly. Some of the editors have a less-than-pristine grasp of formal diction and tone; I've been meaning to work on it but have been without net access for a hot minute. Thanks! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 20:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Vince Neil

Nice work on the Vince Neil article. I had noticed that it needed some attention but hadn't got around to it. Jonesy (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Poison Ivy edits

Thuran was correct and I was wrong. Your edits were helpful; I had been looking at the wrong version when i reverted your changes. I apologize for the inconvenience. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 06:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Francis Dolarhyde and Buffalo Bill

Thanks for removing the section. Its always bothered me.--CyberGhostface (talk) 14:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Anne Bonny

Hi, my apologies, I may have clobbered some useful edits you did while I was attempting to revert the vandalism by 82.17.95.83 - pls check. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Arthur Rubinstein

Great work on the Arthur Rubinstein page! The article as a whole has a much better flow now.THD3 (talk) 11:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

The Island

Hey -- thanks for your excellent edits on the plot summary of The Island (2005 film). Also, just to let you know, I restored the detailed plot -- and then removed the fluffy OR stuff. Also, in the closing scene of the film, I don't recall seeing an island. Anyway, let's pick it up on the corresponding talk page. Thanks once again, --Otheus (talk) 22:50, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Great NPOV work

		The Cleanup Barnstar
		Your extensive work on Troy Davis case has greatly improved the aricle. It has made the article unbiased and eliminated the POV tone. I thank you for your dedication to NPOV!!! JakeH07 (talk) 03:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Ditto!

Thanks for your attention over the weekend to the Liz Cheney page...you improved it a lot. Phoebe13 (talk) 14:44, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Amelia Earhart

The article has been restored to an earlier version as your edits did not make sense and were not based on research, rather on stylistic conventions. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC).

Please excuse the rant, as I was too precipitous in dismissing your contributions, casting them aside since they were not accompanied by references. You are entirely right that there are errors in writing conventions that have to be addressed, and with that in mind, I am doing a thorough review of your edits and will restore them as appropriate. My only disclaimer is that this article since I started on it three years ago has been the scene of many edit conflicts, typically over content as few editors were preoccupied with style or writing issues. Thank you for your efforts to improve the article. One larger section of text that mysteriously has lost its source was, nonetheless restored to an earlier version. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

Fairey's been on my watchlist for years, but I never could get myself to sit down and give it the go-over it needed (even more so after he got big with the Obama series and the article really exploded). I saw what you did and it was as good or better than what I could've done, therefore I feel justified in awarding this:

		The Original Barnstar
		For great work on cleaning up the Shepard Fairey article. Bobak (talk) 03:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Rick Perry

Good edits on the Rick Perry article.Athene cunicularia (talk) 21:32, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Treybien. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer _(Talk) 15:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Joe Williams (jazz singer)

A page you previously contributed to, Joe Williams (jazz singer), had many prior revisions deleted due to copyright issues. For details please see Talk:Joe Williams (jazz singer). Your prior version may be temporarily restored upon request if you need it for reference to re-incorporate constructive edits that do not make use of the copyright infringing material. Please feel free to leave me a talk message if you need this done. Happy editing, — xaosflux ^Talk 22:29, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Rampage (Gotham)

How is Karen Jennings supposed to be Rampage in Gotham? Do you have a source that confirms this? As far as I can tell, they share the same first name, but that doesn't make them the same character. Is there viral marketing or something I don't know about that called her Rampage? DarkKnight2149 04:33, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited JT LeRoy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Elephant (film) (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.

Please don't take it as a rebuff, but I removed the use of the decorative quotation markup in the Ripliad section.

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your extensive improvements to the encyclopedia. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I am proud to nominate Treybien to be Editor of the Week. He is an editor with over 100K edits which is quite an accomplishment and certainly deserving of acknowledgement. More notable, however, is the fact that 99% of those edits are to main articles space. That leaves a scant 1% for everything else. This is an editor that spends his time, hard at work, improving the encyclopedia...using his language skills to make things better, more understandable. Compliments on his talk page speak to his ability to improve articles without creating mayhem, strife or discord. "You greatly improved the article", "It's so much better now", "...the attention it needed", "You improved it alot", and many more.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:
