Thanks for giving everyone the heads up on the vandalism at the hot dog article. Wikipedia:Revert is a helpful link on how you can fix vandalism when you see it, since you noted that you were unsure on what actions to take. Cheers. Youngamerican 17:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, JohnCub and welcome. You did everything right regarding the AFD nomination process. When you can, review Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion. Certain articles need not be brought to AFD, as you'll see in there. Happy editing. PJM 13:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I need help not messing up links in the Edit Summary box. I want to be able to at least link to user pages but I keep messing it up. could someone point me in the direction of the right page to learn the proper codes for this? As seen above I've tried a few different things and I'm afraid I just can't seem to figure it out.
I added date links to your lighthouse article. All dates with Month Day or Month Day, Year are linked with brackets around the Month Day and around the year. This allows the user preference to display date either Month Day, Year as Americans like or Day Month Year as Europeans like or Year-Month-Day as computers like. You can set your preference in the "My Preferences" at the top of the page. Rmhermen 23:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for your work here. I wanted to let you know that you have this image tagged as Public Domain because it is from the Federal Government. It is not, but rather from the Pennsylvania state government. I put a speedy delete tag on it to have an admin see what they think, but it at least needs to be retagged (probably fair use if it is allowed here at all). I will put a Protected Places box on the Warriors Path State Park page, this has a (legal) locator map built in. Ruhrfisch 16:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
As originally set up, United States immigration debate is supposed to be the legislative child of Illegal immigration to the United States. Realigning these two means that we have enough material now within Illegal immigration to the United States to form a new child page, hence Economic impact of illegal immigrants in the United States. Hope that helps as to where the material went to. Brimba 23:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the note - I have made this into a template and you can use by inserting {{subst:silly}} onto the offenders talk page - good luck ! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 06:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding that info to the talk page on the image of Kane, PA on Commons. I thought that was the post office but couldn't remember when I uploaded the photo. Nice country out that way, methinks. : ) A mcmurray 21:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for finding this damaged #REDIRECT. The Cleveland, MS μSA is the abbreviated form of the Cleveland, Mississippi Micropolitan Statistical Area. This abbreviated form is used primarily for redirected links in tables. See the Table of United States primary census statistical areas. μSA is pronounced mu-es-aye. -- Buaidh 21:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, it's Lradrama, and I would like to thank you for reverting the abuse on my page. Lradrama 09:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
you smart ass, i asked you to leave me alone.now i have nt even made an edit and still yuo disturbed me,if you post me another messeage or delete a single of my edit,see what happens one more thing,you think i donot know who you guys are? you work for wikipedia for money, and wikipedia works for big business to post views which is to their liking,ordinary guys like me cant edit a single article out here.soon everybody will realise this —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mountainsdenve ( talk • contribs)
You have made several edits under your new account and that is how I found you. Also, I do not work for Wikipedia. I'm just a regular guy, sitting in my regular house. I'm in NO WAY asserting that you cannot edit Wikipedia. I'm just asking that you do it responsibly, with FACTS and not just random nonsense. You quit posting nonsense and I'll quit changing your edits. Sound fair? -- JohnCub 18:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome, and thanks for your work! Flcelloguy ( A note?) 00:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
What is your point in protecting others who wish to harm your civil liberties? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Truevetteman ( talk • contribs) 17:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for checking it. What you have written looks fine. I just saw an anonymous change with no change-log, and assumed it was vandalism :( Thanks again for being thorough. Cheers, LachlanA 18:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I bet people wouldn't vandalise wikipedia if their was an article about Michael Pippin. Come on mate let me put an article about Michael Pippin on please. HEY! ANSWER ME!!! WHY CANT I PUT AN ARTICLE ABOUT MICHAEL PIPPIN ON!-- Mpippin0002 06:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mpippin0002 ( talk • contribs) 06:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
i think that you, in fact, may be an illegal immigrant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salesactor ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 16 March 2007
I like the welcome message you posted on User talk:24.147.121.167. Could you tell me the exact name of that welcome vandal' template? Please reply here on your talk page. Thanks S. Miyano 15:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
although i must admit i chuckled a bit when someone changed the article to say, The Great Depression was sad. TitaniumDreads 22:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Good sir, you have reported my IP address for a recent change I did to Wikipedia. You are mistaken; I did not add a silly remark, I removed one. There was a stupid Chuck Norris Joke in the middle of his family history, and I deleted it. I'm not sure how the process works, but if it shows me adding the stupid remark rather than deleting, then the system needs changed.
I'm not upset about being blocked; I don't intend on adding stuff to wikipedia. But if I see something stupid, and I delete it, and I get blocked for it... well, it doesn't seem like the most logical flow of responsibility, does it?

I was sent your Silliness message, it's on my IP's discussion, anyway. (Sorry, I'm not sure of wikipedia procedure for any of this.)
Oh, it's fine. I'm sorry about my irate tone; I just didn't like to be thought of as a vandal, regardless of my anonymity. I will indeed create a user page for when I find such things in the future, thank you for the suggestion. 74.140.145.36 01:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the note on the above user, when someone is blocked they are still able to edit there own talk page because they can appeal the block by adding the unblock template. This means that there page is open to abuse and trolling, if he continues to remove the warnings, I'll fully protect the talk page, but at the minute, its not doing anyone any harm so I'll just let him do whatever he wants! Cheers again Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/ talk 18:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey are you gonna answer me JohnCub or what? Why cant i put an article about Michael Pippin on Wikipedia? He is an absoulute legend who is starting a revolution you better answer me this time!-- Mpippin0002 06:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 03:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Your "Unidentified map turtle hatchling" photo is actually a northern diamondback terrapin!
