Please feel free to contact me about anything!

Hi - I just reverted your recent edits which blanked a considerable amount of text without so much as an edit summary. Please discuss the issues rather than blanking content. Vsmith 22:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The place to discuss would be the Talk:Global warming controversy talk page. And please sign your posts on talk with four tildes, ~~~~, this produces a sig and time/date stamp as follows in my sig. Vsmith 22:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that the place to discuss that is in the talk section. A part of the page, which is supposed to explain the scope of the debate, is instead being used for debate itself. This is why edits are allowed, instead of the document being a static page with a discussion tab. And thanks for the info on the "Mrdarklight 22:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)". I'll try it now! Mrdarklight 22:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I see you have brought this up on the talk page there so other editors can think about your proposed changes and work with you, perhaps, to improve the article. This approach is preferred on a controversial subject - discuss and reach concensus (hopefully). You should also sign your post there so others will know who they are talking to.

3RR on Global cooling

Hi Darklight! I don't know if you are aware of it, but you are skirting close to a WP:3RR violation on Global cooling. This rule is there to stop endless revert wars. Have fun editing! --Stephan Schulz 18:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stephan: Thanks for that info. I'm still new to editing in Wikipedia, and I'm learning a lot thanks to help from other members. I'm not sure where to post responses to things like this, though. Should I put it here, or on your talk page? Thanks again. Mrdarklight 18:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever you prefer. I ask people who edit my talk page to monitor it and expect my reply there. That keeps the discussion in one place and hence readable. I usually also stay on the other's talk page (like now). Some others prefer to always get messages on their own talk page and to answer on the other person's talk page (it gives both the nice and obvious "you have new messages"). I don't think there is a overall preferred style. --Stephan Schulz 18:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add unimportant material

The material you added to googolplex was not important to the topic. It's nonimportance has been discussed quite a number of times already. Including deltion several times of the article on the term you added. Please use the talk page if you feel you have reliable sources that can back including the material. - Taxman ^Talk 22:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I suppose that Professor John FRINK isn't reliable enough...Mrdarklight 23:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 20:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Observed Performance and Effects of Communism

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Observed Performance and Effects of Communism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Observed Performance and Effects of Communism

I have nominated Observed Performance and Effects of Communism, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Observed Performance and Effects of Communism. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Speedy deletion of Robert Hruska

A tag has been placed on Robert Hruska requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I deleted the article, as there was no assertion of notability. Remember, notability is not inherited. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 10:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death Toll of Communism

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Death Toll of Communism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Death Toll of Communism.

Observed Performance and Effects of Communism

It seems you are passionate about these subjects, but your work keeps getting deleted. This is fruitless. Have you considered editing at Conservapedia ? --Ryan Delaney ^talk 02:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
