Hi. Just to let you know that recreating a recently deleted article and asking for it to not be deleted again in the edit summary is one of the quickest ways to piss people off around here. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 03:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice - I guess pissing people off around here is pretty easy to do, maybe the page deleters could be a bit more courteous and do things like actually read the page before they delete it. I was pretty pissed off that someone deleted it and called it advertising - it's a freaking non-profit group of volunteers for gods sakes. Anyway, I know it wasn't you. I don't really know what else to do. I want to make this page, I am motivated to do it now, I have time now - what do you recommend?
Hi thanks for your note.
This edit was two weeks ago. If you read the top of the talk page you will see that it should be stopped if there is current ongoing problem. Otherwise just use my talk page.
Secondly if you look at the user page you will see that the name is not intended to be interpreted that way or indeed any way except a light hearted play on words. I am sorry you a grievously offended by it, but no doubt you will recover, no one else seems to have taken it that way. It is not possible to rename users with over 50,000 edits (or thereabouts) without developer intervention, and Smackbot has made significantly more than that. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Thirdly it is useful if you can actually link the article name and also sign your posts to talk pages.
Fourthly I understand your point about the use of ordinal suffixes, I will investigate the matter in regard to the phrase "July 4th holiday" although I think there is already an exception for this. SmackBot is unlikely to revisit that article, but you can drop me a note on my talk page if you have problems there or anywhere else.

Later AfD nomination of
Raptor Education Group:
I have nominated Raptor Education Group, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raptor Education Group. 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.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 13:24, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gene. To answer your question on what "move a picture to Commons" means, this refers to the Wikimedia Commons site. Wikimedia Commons, often referred to simply as "Commons", is another wiki. Any picture on Commons can be easily used by any Wikipedia project in any language, whereas pictures that you put on the English Wikipedia can be used only in the English Wikipedia. In general, if you take a picture yourself and release it under a free license, putting it on Commons will allow it to be used more widely, which most contributors consider to be a good thing. See Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons if you're interested.
Also, below is one of our standard Welcome messages, which probably comes too late to impress you with a warm fuzzy feeling but might be of some help at some point :)
Cheers and take care, Clayoquot ( talk | contribs) 02:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations on rescuing Kettlebowl and Raptor Education Group Inc. from deletion. Bravo. Keep up the good work, and don't let those deletion attempts discourage you from further contribution on Wikipedia. You might be interested in joining WP:INC. - Draeco ( talk) 13:59, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I read that article that you wrote today and I completely understand where you're coming from. I am willing to defend your actions should you ever need a second voice at a discussion. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 01:37, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello Mckennagene! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 951 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hi. This is to let you know that I reverted your addition to List of city nicknames in Wisconsin. The personal knowledge of a contributor is not a reliable source under Wikipedia policy on verifiability. If you have a reliable source, you may restore the content with an appropriate citation. -- Orlady ( talk) 00:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Your upload of File:AntigoSign.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

The article Kevin De Clue has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive 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. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

This is a courtesy message to notify you that the article Kevin De Clue is being considered for deletion. All editors, including you, are welcome to discuss this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin De Clue until a consensus is reached. The nomination and discussion are expected to focus on the quality of evidence and the policies and guidelines which are of concern. Please be aware that there are a number of arguments to avoid in a deletion discussion.
Users are encouraged to edit the article during the discussion, particularly in ways that address the concerns raised in that discussion. However, please do not attempt to remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article— doing so may be considered an act of bad faith and will not halt the deletion process. Thank you!

Hello, Mckennagene. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Hymn to Freedom".
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.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! CptViraj ( 📧) 11:08, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Kara mccarthy, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Mckennagene. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Kara mccarthy, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
