Sorry, it took me over a year to figure out that I needed to remove this newb tag myself. It then took me 20 minutes to actually remove it. I'm not necessarily good with the technical stuff here.Hilltrot (talk) 23:06, 26 June 2015 (UTC) [reply]

Good catch!

[edit]

Cheers for picking up on this Right Sector POV push. Well spotted! I've been caught up in all sorts since I got back from a short holiday, meaning that I haven't been able to keep up with every change to the article. Good to have as many sets of eyes on the article as possible. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:07, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well deserved, Hilltrot. You've earned it with flying colours. Congrats! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:00, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Moon landing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Geographic. 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.

Prius Game

[edit]

Following your suggestion, I've deleted most of the Prius article, as I found it to be advertising gibberish. Thanks for the nudge. Cheers, --Seduisant (talk) 03:38, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine

[edit]

Your call at the DRV for no endorsement is a non-standard term and might not indicate what you intended. If you intended that my close of the AFD should stand, as your words there seem to indicate, then the correct call is endorse. To call for the AFD close not to stand we use overturn and then state what the decision should be overturned to. SpinningSpark 07:51, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I still deserve the newb banner . . . Hilltrot (talk) 14:43, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
