Today, I've received a request from you on my talk page to change my username. I have made hundreds of edits to various pages since January; Werdna has been editing since before me. No-one has ever before mentioned any problem with my username. Is there really any confusion between me and him? If so, why has that only just become apparent? There are a huge number of Wikipedians; inevitably many have similar usernames to others, including many that are more similar than mine is to Werdna's. Do I have to change my username? Does Werdna want me to? Werdnawerdna ( talk) 12:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin...nice to see your name pop up on my watchlist again! I haven't seen you around for yonks, though I've been on a wikibreak for the last month or so, so that may have something to do with it! So how are things with you? Have you heard that Wikimedia Australia is now an official Wikimedia chapter and has just recently been granted "incorporation" status in the wonderful State of Victoria? It only took us three years! :) Anyway, noice to see your name around, mate. ;) Hope all is well with you. Sarah 15:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
I have no disagreement with NedScott. I just reverted his erasure of other's comments. I thought that was not proper unless it was a personal attack. I was wrong, I guess. Sorry.
PS - I only reverted him once, and it's serious enough for a visit to my talk page to "stop it"? Wow. That was the first warning I've ever received here. :( Aunt Entropy ( talk) 06:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Interesting. In that case, can you make sure it's damn well sourced in the article? It's not a sort of claim we should be making without it being covered in the article, and covered with solid cites. Rebecca ( talk) 11:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Could you give me some time to translate the Japanese article and look for refs? I've been meaning to do so for a long time, but haven't had much time lately. Thanks! -- Eruhildo ( talk) 23:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Ben. I'm confused. Why should we leave the Hustler movie announcement on the Talk page? Isn't it a violation of #4 of this policy? WP:NOT#FORUM?-- Paul ( talk) 00:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
It was a pleasure to get your ping. Here's hoping you're well. :) Durova Charge! 20:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
With this edit - [1] - did you have an edit conflict and then copied and pasted? Because in my experience that often causes odd diffs. DuncanHill ( talk) 23:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
I think it would be Duncan's prerogative to display that message or not - the comment was directed at me (indeed, was intended to be on my talkpage - where it duly arrived), and DH does not need to be further mired in this matter. I would suggest that you reverse your good faith edit and perhaps ask Duncan if he wishes it to be displayed - my preference is that it is not, because it is a matter between me and Jimbo, but I do not care to speak for others in what they believe is appropriate in their own space... providing it otherwise complies with policy, of course.

Hi Ben, I hope all is well with you. I just added rollback to your account. You haven't been editing a lot recently but I thought you might find it handy to have anyway. You can read about rollback at WP:ROLLBACK but the main rule is that it's only to be used for reverting clear vandalism and not for content disputes and such. I hope you find it useful! Take care Ben, Sarah 01:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I've returned the "Merchandising" section to the primary article The Tale of Peter Rabbit as " Peter Rabbit" is nearly a duplicate of that article. There is not much in the "Peter Rabbit" article that merits a stand alone article. Most of the "Peter Rabbit" article is unsourced and whatever is sourced can effectively be merged into the primary article with little ado. As it is, the "Peter Rabbit" stand alone article is up for administrative merge or delete. Please leave the "Merchandising" section in the primary article until an administrative decision is reached. Thanks! Kathyrncelestewright ( talk) 00:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi BenAveling
I reviewed the edit history for User:DGG and the spurious link to the same page (along with an odd date) was there dating back before the section heading. Given that, and the format (the "DGG" after the pipe), it seems to me very likely that it was an incompletely removed signature automatically generated by ~~~~. See this revision, for example
You removed the </br> that I had inserted—I assume that was an oversight, and added it back.
If you disagree, feel free to change back. I won't revert again.
Regards, Bongo matic 13:02, 8 August 2009 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no {{ talkback}} or other comment on my talk page is required.

To me, this comment, although true, seems problematic. While reprimanding, it nevertheless somehow seems to give a wink and a nod to pointy behavior (not that I am an angel who hasn't and doesn't fall into this trap). In general, I find being followed around and routinely insulted somehow pointy. Here are some other recent examples.
The second one is clearly a pointy edit and yet this editor seems in total denial of the fact. Since WP:Notability remains a very complex characteristic, placing such tags on articles should be done with great care. Crusio's response is probably how many respectable and truly notable people react to the placement of one of Hrafn's probably-done-for-the-wrong-reason (even if possibly acceptable) notability tags. Crusio's response. -- Firefly322 ( talk) 15:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
A few points if I may:
Thank you for taking the time to contribute! -- Avi ( talk) 03:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Theaters of operation for the War on Terrorism. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theaters of operation for the War on Terrorism. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure you had the best of intention, but please don't silently rewrite headers [2]. If you must do this, leave a note explaining that you've done so; otherwise you are effectively re-writing my talkpage comments, which is bad William M. Connolley ( talk) 10:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

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. Tiptoety talk 06:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Australian Industry Group 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The article NSW Administrative Committee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails all of the criteria at WP:Notability While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 144.136.101.108 ( talk) 15:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, BenAveling. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, " Living off the land attack".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
