An Automated Message from HagermanBot
[edit]Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 20:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Halloween
[edit]I'm letting you know your comments to Talk: Halloween (2007 film) were removed on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a forum for general discussion. Per talk page guidelines, the article's talk page is for discussing the article, and how to improve it, and not for general discussion. If you want to talk about your opinions of the movie there are fan sites with forums, or you could talk about it on the talk page of another user (speaking of course that they want to talk about the film with you). I hope you understand. Thanks. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 20:38, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Talk pages
[edit]Your efforts in improving Wikipedia are appreciated. However, talk pages are only for discussion about the main article, not for general chat. Please do not use talk pages for general discussion, as you did on the Talk:Heath Ledger page. Thank you.
You've have been notified of this previously and a review of your contributions shows that your main contributions seem to be adding commentary to talk pages. This is now becoming disruptive and I ask you again to stop, else you may have your editing rights curtailed. —Moondyne 03:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
June 2008
[edit]Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Lance Armstrong. Thank you. -MBK004 15:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
July 2008
[edit]Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Aleister Crowley for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. See here for more information. Thank you. — MaggotSyn 02:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Nietzsche
[edit]The section on Nietzsche's citizenship and ethnicity was added after a great deal of discussion on the talk page and represents a compromise position based upon consensus. There was an edit war that lasted over a year on whether to call Nietzsche a German in the article lede; this resolved it. Please don't remove this section without reading though the entire discussion in the archives and then discussing it on the talk page if you feel that an important argument was not made.
