"Unencyclopedic" Lucid Dreaming paragraph

Just wondering what specifically you thought was unencyclopedic about that paragraph you deleted. I had merged and reduced it from two earlier paragraphs and rewrote it some, thinking I had already purged it of unencyclopedic information. --Slac 01:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

SexPowerGod

Hi! If you feel uncomfortable having the building/room number of an IP posted on the SexPowerGod talk page, by all means remove it. It's hard not to come off as hostile when dealing with anonymous IPs, particularly when they make crazy edits. It's nice to have another, non-anonymous editor on the article.

The irony of all of this is that I hate SexPowerGod; I think it makes our school look terrible and is a waste of money. That's starting to come through on my call for consensus. We'll see what happens.

What brings you to Wikipedia? --Mgreenbe 09:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

Hi there. You sent me the message: "Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the David Guetta article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Mgcsinc 19:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)"

Thanks for informing me about the copyvio - but on a totally unrelated matter, I have actually been editing with this username since December 2005, therefore I think a "welcome to Wikipedia" is hardly suitable.

Take care. MaxCosta 03:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Infernal (Warcraft)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Infernal (Warcraft), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Infernal (Warcraft) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Infernal (Warcraft), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Katrina Darrell

There was a non-consensus AfD, so Prod is controversial. You'll need to use a second AfD, but I think you'll have objections unless you wait another few weeks. As for the result, one can never tell what AfD will do. DGG (talk) 21:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My reply to your unsolicited comment

It is my talk page and I do not want to use it as a forum for public discussions. I will not reply to messages left on my talk page. If you leave a message there it will be removed. If I choose to reply, I will reply on your talk page. Inniverse (talk) 04:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

Hi-Res Photo Request

The largest size version of that photo is already posted on MediaWiki. I can take a larger one if you would like, since it's only a block away. Send me your email address and I will send you the photo. Apavlo (talk) 00:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
