Stated in your edit summary that you reverted to a different model, due to vandalism by myself, please elaborate Londo06 16:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello - you appear to be experienced in Wikipedia, so I hope you won't mind me asking a couple of questions? Otherwise please just let me know and I'll search elsewhere.
I put a link under Atmel AVR to a wiki entry about BASCOM (an AVR BASIC compiler), which I thought just about satisfied Wikipedia conditions - in truth I may have been taken in by the section on "BASIC & Other AVR Languages" and blithly added a link to a description of something I find useful - but you have removed that link. I understand that it is borderline whether any of the links should be there, but I am curious about why you have left, for example, the link to 'AVRco Embedded' in the same section - for what reason does that qualify to stay while the link to the BASCOM wiki entry doesn't?
Also, you marked your edits as minor although they don't appear to qualify according to the minor edits help page - since I haven't spent much time here, could you let me know if this is accepted practice or a slip on your part? Thank you in advance, Jcswright2 12:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
This is Daniel Lyons, why did you call my editing my own wikipedia page nonsense when it isn't? I do believe I am the authoratitive source on myself.
If you are Daniel Lyons (which I do not believe is the case) then you should avoid editing the article - following the guidelines on WP:AUTO. As for the page being nonsense - have you actually read what you've written - the text reads like it has been written by a five year old. If you wish to positvley contribute to the article please do so - but please restrain from added nonsense and garbage. -- Rehnn83 Talk 14:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
--- Why can't I write my wikipedia page my own way? The difficulty is, there are these other prestigious people with my name that somehow seem to be caught up in some sort of mistaken identity thing that's a bit annoying. I do actually have the copyright on my life story, in all honesty. There's an "automatic" copyright on things like that.
First of all please sign your posts. It's fairly simple - if your notable enough people will write your wikipedia entry for you - if other people don't it meands your peers do no believe your are notable for inclusion in an encylopedia. If you want to put up your own bio, the best place is your userpage. -- Rehnn83 Talk 20:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Might have better luck reporting him at WP:AIV. -- Action Jackson IV 21:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I've made the block, but yeah, WP:AIV is dedicated to vandalism and you'll get a faster response there. Unknown people tend to show up on your talk page if you report vandalism on WP:ANI. =P There's a list at the top of the ANI page that tells you where certain kinds of reports are supposed to go. ·· coel acan 21:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice on how to add references. It was kind of you to let me know. I have made one more change to the page on Airplane spin. The reference I found says that the plane levelled out at fifty feet instead of five. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kkachi ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for engaging in the talk page and providing an explanation, rather than just deleting the link. I'd argue that during a rapidly changing situation a site citing authoritative sources is acceptable - as effectively created from authoritative sources, and conforming to "be bold". People have had knowledge they would have missed otherwise.
Anyway, they've caught up now and material is available, so I'm going to start building a paragraph with authoritative references.
Will you visit the talk page to work with me on this?
Cheers
I have a problem with your choice to delete my editing on Design News. If you consider this "Blatant advertising" perhaps you should consider removing CNN and NY Times from Wikipedia as this is OBVIOUS advertising considering NY Times has each issue posted on their page, their current website, masthead, and so on.
Could you please join the discussion about airlinequality.com (also known as Skytrax) on the WikiProject Airline discussion page here. Thanks. → AA ( talk • contribs) — 21:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi thanks for moving the title. Please can you also mover the Comfort fabric softener page (which I created by accident) to Comfort (Fabric Softener)? I can't do this yet as I have only been a member for a few hours. Many thanks! -- Rebecca Michael 11:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Much appreciated, fleshing out wikipedia at work makes the day go alot quicker. Nice to hear that the work is appreciated. I have also seen your callsign in many of the articles. I would be more than happy to repay the Barnstar favour, if someone hasn't already done so. Londo06 10:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. There is indeed a huge difference. The pope is the leader of the Catholic religion. The eastern churches in communion with the Bishop of Rome by whatever tradition, still regard him as their spiritual leader, by whatever name they call their liturgical traditions, e.g. Maronite, Melkite, Byzantine, Chaldean, Syro-Malakar, etc. The term Roman Catholic Church AS USED BY THE HOLY SEE, would NORMALLY refer to the Latin Rite churches, which the pope, as the western patriarch, governs. As for the eastern patriarchates still in communion with Rome, the term RCC is a misnomer. They DO NOT NORMALLY refer to themselves as RC - trust me, I've met eastern Catholics: Indian, Syrian, Lebanese, Ukrainian and they don't NORMALLY refer to themselves as RC. Regardless, all believers of the religion who sees the Bishop of Rome as essential and head refer to themselves as CATHOLICS.
The term RCC is more or less an Anglo-centric carryover from Encyclopedia Britannica. I am of the camp that respects the objections of the agents of the Catholic Church, i.e. its priests, that is to say, that it identifies itself as merely the Catholic Church. I also subscribe to the argument of other WP editors that the naming convention of WP be fairly applied to the CC and hence name it as such. Other editors of WP would object of course and can definitely find sources of instances of the term RCC being used but it is not the same as that being taught by its hierarchy. If you talk to Eastern Catholics, they would definitely object since they refer to themselves as Catholics, definitely, but not Roman Catholics (e.g. Maronite Catholics, Chaldean Catholics, etc.). A few editors in WP seem to monopolize an article and such is the behavior of most articles in WP. The term RCC is unfortunately an Anglican invention with an originally derogatory connotation (anti-papist) during the 18th cent. onwards and has unfortunately been applied by the British to the CC and hence infected wholescale the English language - but that's history for you. In sum, it is unfortunate that the terminology being used is incorrect and misleading although gaining acceptance. This is one of the weaknesses of WP since articles are made as a product more of consensus than objectivity. This is true whenever an article is an article of the humanities. Since no subject under the humanities can ever be objectively presented, everybody would just have to accept, including you, the realization that it will always be subject to change unlike a subject under science.
The Catholic Church is led by its high priest, His Holiness Benedict XVI. From an objective evaluation of what it calls itself (and that should be the reference point) it calls itself simply, The Catholic Church, capital t, capital c - centuries before Constantinople, before there was an Ecumenical Patriarch and before the general councils even existed. And it is known unambiguously by that name and its members who follow the Pope are known as Catholics - obedience to the Pope is a very defining feature. I will ask you to perform an experiment: ask an ordinary Orthodox, Anglican or Armenian Apostolic church member if they are Catholics. I tried it, and fortunately they were still civil. The Orthodox reaction is the most interesting(but don't be within arm's reach when you do this). I'm an equal opportunity offender. I'm politically incorrect and I consider myself objective. I call a spade a spade. So should you. I still stand by the position that the proper name under Wikipedia should be Catholic Church, not Roman Catholic Church. Dr mindbender 01:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I have replied to your contribution to the article I created on my own talk page -- John Stumbles 23:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I notice you've removed the note about flying below sea level. Could I ask for your reason(s) for doing so.
Perhaps I shouldn't have labelled that section as 'Trivia'. It is rumoured that several US military jets have come close to crashing when their on board computers crashed on flying below sea level in the vicinity of the Dead Sea. Certainly any flight planning system which covers flights to Amsterdam must cope with below sea-level flights.

I noticed you removed all velocity speeds and listed only mach speed. I'm wondering why...unfortunately, what you have done is now removed information that some readers might find valuable, thereby reducing the useability/value of the article as an encyclopedia article. It should be our goal to serve our readers as best as possible by including such information, not removing it. AKRadecki Speaketh 17:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
My edit to Tommy Williams
Thanks for reverting my edit to Tommy Williams. When I added the {{db-nonsense}} tag I must have been viewing an earlier version of the page. -- Rehnn83 Talk 14:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
No problem at all. I was going to give you a warning, but realized that it must have been accidental. So no harm done in the end. Cheers! -- tennis man 14:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey -- Rehnn83 Talk and good morning to you from here stateside. I just wanted to give you a heads-up in that I did remove the “Speedy Deletion” tag from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center article. I agree with you 100% that the article does need a complete rewrite and I have notified the author of the situation. I have placed the article on my watchlist and will keep an eye on the developments to make sure the appropriate changes are made. If the original author or some charitable editor does nothing within the week, I’ll start the rewrite to meet Wikipedia standards. Have a great day. • ShoesssS Talk
Hello,
WOuld you be able to explain why you chose to delete my article on PolkaSpots Limited. Before writing it, I checked on other companies similar to PolkaSpots and copied their format. Have a search for the cloud...
I don't see why you regard this as blatant advertising?
Whilst wikipedia is supposed to be a forum for open speach, it actually seems impossible to write an educated article on something one finds interesting. I am amoungst a number of people that have written articles before, all of which have been deleted.
What do we have to do to get something published?
Can you expalain therefore why 'The Cloud' have not had their article removed? See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cloud
I think i improved my Valete article a bit more. Could you please give it a look and tell me how I can make it even better so its not deleted? Thank you so much. -- Iluvlipstick 14:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on London Parachute School 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.

Hi there Rehnn. Just letting you know that I've nominated Jack Arbiser for deletion under a different criteria from the one you used. Because you used G1 on a page which was obvious vandalism (which means that g1 doesn't apply). Also, please remember that g1 only applies to pages which are gibberish and impossible to understand (e.g. "dgsdfsdsdsada") rather then nonsense (e.g. "grass is blue"), also g1 doesn't apply to pages with bad spelling (e.g. "gras si bleu"). Keep up your patrolling :) - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 15:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rehnn. I've downgraded the speedy deletion of this article to a notability tag as I take "elected as World DJ No. 5 and best Indie DJ" as an assertion of importance. I've also moved it to Tayo Ogidan. I don't know the subject well enough to have an opinion as to whether it should go to AFD, but I don't feel that I would have been justified in speedy deleting it. Cheers and happy editing Ϣere SpielChequers 11:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
I think it does have a place, in that these songs are associated with the side and are popular amongst the fans. Although these "chants" do tend to change based upon the outcome of a game or, for example, a reaction to a refereeing decision, the ones stated are most associated with Saints.
Please reply with your views.
Ymron ( talk) 08:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your opinions on the subject and I do take those carefully into consideration. I did create a page solely based upon songs associated with St Helens RLFC. This has however been recently deleted. If this page cannot be reproduced would it be suitable to include songs that are based on the club as a whole such as When the Saints Go Marching In on the main site?
Thanks for your reply and please reply back with more views.

The article Black Knights Parachute Centre has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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 {{
dated prod}}
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 {{
dated prod}}
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.

Scarlet Monahan is quickly becoming a noteable female contemporary female artist and is recognised by private collectors and galleries in the uk. i cannot understand why when her work is described as influential in the modern day her page is deleted. other artists appear to have pages on here but i cannot find what they have done to make them special? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phizee ( talk • contribs) 22:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I've declined your speedy request as it isn't nonsense. That's for things like 'gtytiiyfjkvhjg' and 'aardvark spin focussed remorsefully brick'. This might be already in an existing article on rights - if it isn't, it's possibly OR. Peridon ( talk) 20:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Rehnn83. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Charles M. Gurganus, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: being a Major-General is certainly enough assertion of importance to pass A7, and per WP:MILPEOPLE probably enough for notability. Thank you. JohnCD ( talk) 15:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rehnn83. I have declined the speedy deletion tag you placed on the page Finally the happiness, because criteria A7 does not apply to films, books or musical recordings, only to individual people, animals, companies or web content. Yunshui 雲 水 08:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
