Keynesianism and neoliberalism

Could you please elucidate why you reverted my edit? 71.175.40.210 (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

What it do?

Yo, why'd you take my posts out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.90.204 (talk) 22:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! — Aitias // discussion 00:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

What's wrong with the wikification of Samantha Thavasa? PleaseＪＵＳＴＩＦＹ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｒｅｖｅｒｔｉｏｎｓ． —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.182.85.162 (talk) 01:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

My page was marked for / deleted

Hello Dougofborg,

I created a page as my first effort on Wikipedia - Confero - that I have just found out you marked for deletion and has now been deleted. You have (correctly) noted that the content is similar to that on the dma.org.uk website. However, it is a desription of my Company that I wrote for the DMA website, so I have effectively re-used / modified my own created content to use here. Is that not allowable ?

If it is not allowable, can the page at least be accesible to me again so that I can modify it to show acceptable content. Do bear in mind that the 'Wikipedia' element of the content is 'unique' and I spent quite a bit of time working out how to put it together.

Please advise. Bikertov. Bikertov (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bikertov (talk • contribs) 15:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Ælfheah of Canterbury

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		Thank you so much for your anti-vandalism efforts while poor Ælfheah of Canterbury was on the main page! May an obscure little Anglo-Saxon bishop and saint bless you. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:28, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Happy to help. Thanks for the barnstar Dougofborg^(talk) 14:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD of Spring-water

Just a note, I redirected Spring-water to Spring (hydrosphere). If you ever see a duplicate article, it is usually best to be bold and redirect it yourself and/or merge anything of worth. This saves a little bit of time for people who work at AfD. Tavix |  Talk  15:11, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Redirect makes alot more sense to me. Thanks for the suggestion/help Dougofborg^(talk) 15:12, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Links

Hi Doug, good spot and glad you liked the page. I have a few links I use that I don't make too obvious as I have had quite a few attacks on my page. So thanks for the offer, but for the moment I'll decline. :) ϢereSpielChequers 18:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

You did well in this revertion, the edit was completely out of place, and of course coger is already well explained in the proper place of the article. Thanks. --Againme (talk) 20:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I was unsure, and decided to AGF, but looking at the full article (not just the limited part that Huggle showed), you are correct, it should be reverted Dougofborg^(talk) 11:53, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Null-ish thread to provoke Miszabot

Hi Doug. You now have 6 threads. --AndrewHowse (talk) 15:27, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Defamatory comments.

I noticed you were kind enough to remove the defamatory edit summaries related to the IP and Baby P. Could you possible do the same for the IP's contrib list? There has to be a block in there somewhere for that list of doozies? Cheers. --WebHamster 13:00, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Whoops. Sorry, I thought you were an admin. --WebHamster 13:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

is a redirect. Someone must have altered it. Restored it. Serendi^podous 16:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, Dougofborg! Thought you might be interested in Motto of the Day, a collaborative (and totally voluntary) effort by a group of Wikipedians to create original, inspirational mottos. Have a good motto idea? Share it here, comment on some of the mottos there or just pass this message onto your friends.

Complaint

You got a fucking problem with me? come to my talk page if you, i dont like how you fucking come to the shit i edited and says its not true cause it is.

Could you be more specific as to which edit you feel I shouldn't have reverted? I'd be more than happy to review and possibly undo what I did. Dougofborg^(talk) 02:35, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Bily Joel and Fligthe of the Conchords

Hi Mister. I didn't do no "vandlaism." I just heard joel talking about the Flight of the Concvhors on the tele vision and he said that the group influenced him. So it aint vandalism. It is the Truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.138.33 (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

You are correct, it did not fall under the catagory of vandalism. I selected the wrong template without noticing, and I apologize. Thank you for pointing out my error. Please see WP:NOR for more information about why I reverted your edit, and please feel free to let me know if I make any further mistakes. Dougofborg^(talk) 04:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

It don't be no problem. I guess I gots to wait until the video be on the internet or something? I seen him on the Craig Fergushon show. So maybe if they put it up on the webssites I will then PROVE that he said it, or something. Anyway, Mister, keep up the good work on the wikiz! As a team, we can all make the wiki thrive. It will be even better than the Newspapers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.138.33 (talk) 04:04, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, either a link to a video or an article that mentions that would be ideal. Dougofborg^(talk) 04:09, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
