I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Kimu 00:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
April 2008[edit]
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to George H. W. Bush. Thank you. -MBK004 04:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks![edit]
Thanks indeed for providing wiki links here to articles created in Tamil Wikipedia :) As the user above says, you can add a short summary. Typically +ta would do. Or the copy of the link you may have for example [[ta:இரட்டைத்திமில் ஒட்டகம்]] can be simply pasted on the edit summary, like I've seen many do. Once again thanks. --C.R.Selvakumar (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
July 2008[edit]
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Air Canada Centre. Thank you. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you're doing a good job of adding interwiki links to Tamil Wiki. To avoid forgetting an edit summary, you can go to the 'Editing' tab at Special:Preferences and choose to be prompted on a blank edit summary. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 07:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
M.I.A.[edit]
As an editor who has recently edited M.I.A. (artist), I am asking you to comment on the "Politics" thread at Talk:M.I.A. (artist). Input in the issue from more users would be nice. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 18:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Just a heads up[edit]
Waay old news now but I just thought I'd let ya know anyway since you still seem to be active, I responded to your post at Talk:Benzino. -- Ϫ 07:44, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
The article Jerry Meals has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Nomination of Jerry Meals for deletion[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jerry Meals until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:35, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

The article Pete Babcock has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Biographical article has no independent references to prove it's notability.
While all 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People with COVID-19[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Category:People with COVID-19 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_March_9#Category:People_with_coronavirus_disease_2019. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ///EuroCarGT 22:32, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CycloneYoris. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, August 7, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. CycloneYoris talk! 05:48, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
