Edits to London

Hi, I've reverted your edit to the page on London, where you changed the article from saying that the City of London is the smallest city in the UK to saying that it was the largest. This might seem counterintuitive, but London and the City of London are not the same place, as the wikipedia articles make clear. Check this video out if you're curious.

Female governors in Mexico

Hello Benttley4!

You have been making some edits in articles of some women who have served (Dulce María Sauri, Beatriz Paredes) and who serve (Amalia García) as governors of a mexican state but you have been stating false arguments such as Beatris Paredes being the first female governor in Mexico or that Amalia García is the third female governor of a Mexican state.

Griselda Alvarez was the first female governor thus Beatriz Paredes was not the firts and Amalia García is not the third.

Also, although not a governor we should add Rosario Robles Berlanga to the list.

Joint Chiefs of Staff

That's what I like about WP, with enough minds working on something, even if they disagree initially, there is usually a better way to get information included eventually. Well done on this edit, which was the same, but different, from the first one. Thanks and happy editing! — MrDolomite • Talk 22:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

A tag has been placed on Valerie Keehn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. tennis man ^{sign here!} 00:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

my apology

I accidentally deleted the article on Ellen Young, but I saw that what I had deleted was a vandalized version containing only nonsense. I of course have restored the version before that. Since the vandalism happened only today, you might want to add that page to your watch list.DGG 16:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rosie O'Donnell political endorsements

Although that information may be true and interesting it's not encyclopedic enough to warrant inclusion at this time.

Hillary Clinton Endorsements

As much as I appreciate you being on the ball when it comes to these, it gets a little annoying when you add an endorsement on the Congressional endorsements for the 2008 presidential election without citing the source, usually Hillary Clinton's website. And you also tend to simply copy/paste endorsements (on the Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, 2008 page) as opposed to actually following the current format (e.g. Fmr. MO Governor as opposed to Fmr. Governor Bob Holden (D-MO), or Indiana House as opposed to Indiana House of Representatives)

If you could start citing your sources and properly format endorsements, things will go a lot smoother, thanks Nevermore27 10:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara J. Fiala

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Barbara J. Fiala, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.gobroomecounty.com/countyexec/ExecBio.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 16:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mayors

Hope you don't mind, but I'm reverting all your changes to "mayors", such as the Mayor of Cupertino. The latter being the funniest as Kris Wang is somone I know personally & she'll be terribly upset to find out that she's been ousted by .... Dolores "Dolly" Sandovol??? Ok, you can stop now! - Alison ^❤ 06:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay. See the problem now. The elections aren't quite over yet here and Dolores is still vice-mayor for the moment. Here's a link & here's Kris' link - Alison ^❤ 06:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Michael Nutter

Your edits (here) were unnecessary, as the tiny bit of info was already covered in the introductory paragraph. At a later date, it may be useful to have a section on the mayor's policies, when he has had time to implement them and generate results/reactions/responses/etc. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 15:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cumberland spaceman

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Cumberland spaceman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Bsnowball (talk) 15:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

User- name

Your Username is still RED -- add something to your userpage to make it BLUE.

Welcome! I noticed that your Username shows up red when you post an edit -- in case you were wondering why, this is because your userpage is devoid of content. If you were to place anything at all on your userpage (text, photographs, etc.), your username would then appear blue by default. By convention, most serious contributing editors place information about themselves on their userpages, and as a result, editors whose usernames are still red may appear to other editors as lacking a serious motivation in both editing Wikipedia articles as well as joining the Wikipedia community at large. I therefore recommend that you place something on your userpage, such as information as to where you live or what your hobbies are. You can check out other editors' userpages to get an idea of what is normally included (find them easiest by checking the history tab on randomly chosen yet substantial articles), and even copy/paste from their userpages (modifying the information to reflect your's, of course). Even the manner in which your name appears may tell a little bit about your character and personal style (if the default blue is not your cup of tea, you can copy/paste a username format from another editors' post, and put that information into my preferences at the top of your page after you sign in, modifying it, of course, to include your usename.) This may help you feel like you're more engaged and integrated into the culture of Wikipedia. Please contact me if you'd like any more advice. :) DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 02:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, always sign your posts with four tildes (placed after a space after the period of your last word), which will automatically place your username with the timestamp after your post. Otherwise, and editor must check the history of the page to locate the quicklink to your talk page, or type in your talk page by hand into the search bar. It's just easier for everyone.

Secondly, in terms of what to put on your user page...well, you can check out mine (by clicking on my name in green at the end of this post, or the userpage of any other editor by clicking on their names at the end of their posts (as I suggested, check out the history of any legitimate article for good indications and suggestions of what you can put on your userpage.) If I were you, I'd include your city of residence, your occupation, your ballpark-age, your hobbies, favorite movie, etc. -- basically anything that will allow other editos to identify with you and feel a kinship.

State-level elections

Sorry - I didn't realize the article was about state level elections. I've been working on the federal level ones. One of the candidates was an Assemblyman, so that's how I ended up there. Anyway...look at Wisconsin state elections, 2008 to see an example of handling both houses in one article, if you want to do that. Just an option.
In order for the election template to work, there has to be a New York state elections, 2008 article, so I moved it to preserve the history of your page.
To set up a table, I generally find one I like, go into edit, then copy and paste the whole thing into the target article. Then I just change the names and the color backgrounds and whatever. You could also copy the table in New York State Assembly and then change the headings from
District Representative Party First elected Residence
to
District Incumbent Democrat Republican Other
Just look at a lot of tables before you decide, as it can take quite awhile to cut and paste all those names in. Flatterworld (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

2010 elections

Hey. I put the competitive election summeries in a seperate article to make it easier for casual readers, and not to mention that the races by state section had a lot of material. The only thing I did was copy and paste. But I also have other material on the page that deals with the swing districts of the past two election cycles. So, I hope to eventually merge the two sections together, having the race rating, summery (which you made), and the results of the past two election cycles.

Disambiguation link notification for November 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Balanchine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mercury. 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.

UK General election

You changed the Government majority from 12 to 4, but that is not right. The total Conservative seats are 331, the total non Conservative seats are 319 therefore the majority is 12. It is 16 if you exclude Sinn Fein. I can't amend the article as it is protected, can you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.225.207.34 (talk) 07:14, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Léna Balsan

The article Léna Balsan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

minor, local politician with no evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:17, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
