Hartford Gallery

The Hartford Gallery shows non-skyline photos of Hartford, which were definitely needed. If the photos do not make the city look like Bermuda, so be it. This is an encyclopedia article, not a travel brochure. The quality of these photos is not spectacular, but it is certainly not so bad that the gallery should be completely removed. If you remove this in the future, you should replace the photos with other non-skyline pics. But these pictures are definitely better than the current alternative of ...nothing.

Edits to Hartford, Connecticut

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Hartford, Connecticut. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Elipongo 20:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Editing other people's user pages

Please do not target one or more user's pages or talk pages for abuse or insults, unwarranted doctoring or blanking, as you did with User:Elipongo. It can be seen as vandalism and may get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. A summary of your edits that I reverted can be found here. --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 14:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 15:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's talk

Hello Emsley. Why are you upset with me? Is it because I left you a note that I didn't think you should have deleted the photo gallery someone put up at Hartford, Connecticut? Please realize that I am NOT out to get you or undo all your edits, in fact I've backed up your edits on occasion. For example, when your edit that the Hartford Civic Center is owned by the City of Hartford was reverted- I came along and put it back along with a citation so others wouldn't revert it again. So as I see it, you really have no cause to hold a grudge against me, but perhaps you see it differently- please let me know. You can reply either here or on my own talk page. Thank you very much and have a great day. --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 15:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings

January 2007

Please refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits , as you are doing in Ellington, Connecticut. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, please discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

VSEN-TV

A tag has been placed on VSEN-TV, 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.

VSEN-TV

As the speedy deletion tag says, it is a very short article with little or no context. Wikipedia doesn't want articles that just say "It is a fucking television network" (and that version is being deleted also). We also don't create placeholder articles. You're welcome to recreate the article when you can actually add some content. Natalie 15:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your original article consisted of "This is a television network. They show like old movies and boxing and stuff. Oh yeah, and Three Stooges and Lucile Ball and stuff like that. I can't find a schedule though. It's kinda bizarre to be honest. But there are great old movies like with Audrey Hepburn and stuff shown all the time. There is no website at the moment, but at one time the site www.vsentv.com was functional, albeit with little content," and the names of two affiliates. That isn't an encyclopedia article. The reason for deletion was given on the speedy deletion tag, which you obviously saw if you added a hangon tag. Also, a reason is given in the deletion log (in this case, it refers to criteria listed in Criteria for Speedy Deletion. Explanations aren't added on the talk page because that would create a talk page with no article, which is ironically another criteria for speedy deletion. Hope that explains everything.

Vandalism of Sandbox

Quote on my talk page from you "Please do not vandalize the sandbox. If you want to conduct experiments please use the sandbox. Free free to enjoy Wikipedia and do edits! Thanks! Emsley (talk) 02:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)"

This makes no sense..., how can the sandbox be vandalized? Isn't the point of the sandbox to make practice edits that don't matter? Really confused here :S 72.197.162.140 (talk) 05:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:HartfordHockey.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Whalerslogo.jpg. The copy called Image:Whalerslogo.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
