There's an "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox on the left side of the screen, below the search box. It allows users to e-mail each other without revealing their e-mail addresses. (Very handy sometimes.) Grandmasterka 08:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] | Next: 24 February 2013: 6.30pm @ The London Burgers and Bar, 121 London Circuit |
Hi there! I am guessing you live in Canberra. If you are, do you mind adding Category:Wikipedians in the Australian Capital Territory to your wp:userpage: "user:Canberra User"?
You are cordially invited to attend a meetup being held tomorrow at 6:30pm Sunday 24 February 2013. Sorry about the short notice.
Details and attendee list are at Wikipedia:Meetup/Canberra/February 2013. Hope you can make it!
Finally, I would like to bring to your attention a program to support Australian Wikipedia writers: wmau:Proposal:WWI_WiR. John Vandenberg (chat) 09:06, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Alan Jones "died of shame" controversy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —MelbourneStar☆talk 11:17, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Editorializing
[edit]Hi, please don't editorialize when you edit at Wikipedia. Your edit here was inappropriate in part for the chatter you added. To me, this is indistinguishable from vandalism. Further, the scope of the article is "nicknames ... which were in common usage at the time they were in office or shortly thereafter". The way to demonstrate that the examples you provided were in "common usage" is to provide references from reliable published sources with reputations for fact-checking and clear editorial oversight. You did not do that, so I reverted your edit. Please provide references in the future. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Cyphoidbomb, Here's a source for a much longer list of nicknames for Mr Obama. Here. http://brainshavings.com/obama-nicknames/
- Counter-rebuttal: I said "reliable published sources with reputations for fact-checking and clear editorial oversight", not "some random blog". Generally speaking that means major newspapers, reputable journals, reputable magazines, reputable news shows, not (again) some random blog. Please click on the long blue link above for more info. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:46, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Addendum: As I look through some of your other recent edits, like this one where you editorialize at Same-sex marriage or here where you add sarcastic quote marks around gay marriage, I begin to wonder if you are here to contribute constructively. Please do not use Wikipedia to introduce WP:POV chatter. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Hillary Clinton. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Shearonink (talk) 14:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Echo chamber (media), you may be blocked from editing. JDDJS (talk) 21:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Why are you threatening me? I simply added a very fine example of what an echo chamber is. Isn't it surprising how a "Twitter MeToo campaign" exploded into a worldwide scandal of such proportions. If that isn't an echo chamber, then what is? It was a legit edit. I didn't mean to be "disruptive"! (and I did include a source of information) Fair dinkum!
Canberra User (talk) 06:12, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Your edit was not supported by the source you provided. You have a clear history of violating Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I can get a pretty clear idea of your political views simply by looking through your contributions to articles, which is something that shouldn't be possible if you're maintaining a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. If that's what you're looking for, there are plenty of other websites that you can use. JDDJS (talk) 15:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

- Sorry sir, I didn't know I was "adding" any information. I simply reworded the openerCanberra User (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- It's the bullshit you wrote in the edit summary. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Sir, it's the article we're discussing. Not the edit summary. Who gives a shit what's in the edit summary? What matters is the content of the article itself, you know, the page that appears when a user looks up a subject. Do you really think the average person would go to the trouble of going to the history, scrolling through thousands of edits, to get authoritative information from edit summaries???Canberra User (talk) 13:50, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Important Notice
[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the English Wikipedia article titles policy and Manual of Style. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
