Hello, OcelotHod. My name is Brambleberry of RiverClan, but feel free to call me Brambleberry. I'm an experienced Wikipedian who would be happy to adopt you. Like you, I enjoy fantasy literature and film, horror literature and film (particularly Stephen King), humor and comedy, and animal behavior. I have even written the page Animal aggression in a state similar to what it is now. Please respond on my talk page if you are interested in adoption by me. Brambleberry of RiverClan meow 19:47, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
I set up your adoption classroom here:
User:Brambleberry of RiverClan/Adoption/OcelotHod
You are my first adoptee! Brambleberry of RiverClan meow 21:28, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
No, I did not add the unreferenced note myself. I was moving too quickly in the creation of stubs and start-class articles to pay attention to tags. In the future, yes, please respond at your classroom. Brambleberry of RiverClan meow 14:12, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Something I told you was wrong! Remember when I said that you shouldn't use the edit summary to explain errors? Well I was poking around a page to help me determine whether something was a minor edit and found Help:Dummy edit, which tells you that it's perfectly fine! Hopefully no more errors like this will ocurr. ö Brambleberry of RiverClan 14:33, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Brambleberry, I've mentioned some topics which I'd like to create New Pages for.
When I found that there isn't a page for Tony Kenrick, that has become my major topic.
The major problem is that I wrote an article about Kenrick which was published, but my computer DIED, not just coughed or hiccupped, but DIED. 15 years of writing fiction, nonfiction, correspondence...it's all gone.
To say that I'm upset is ... Well, look, I'd like to start over with Tony Kenrick, because that's a small, manageable project, okay?
You have maybe never heard of him. He's a writer usually compared with Donald E. Westlake. They are both brilliantly funny writers about heists, and I probably really know Kenrick better than anyone except his own family...
And it looks as though my computer is dying again! Believe it or not, here in Miami we are getting a "cool storm" or whatever they call it - it's windy as hell down here, and my cats are afraid to go outside.
Bramble, I've got to go! = I have more to tell you, but in a few hours, OK?
Hi, I reverted your edits on Safety Not Guaranteed (film) as it needs to be supported by reliable sources such as movie reviews, production notes, and news articles. Also check that it may have original research WP:OR. I'll try to keep the 206 note since I found a news article for that. Thanks! - AngusWOOF ( talk) 18:06, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
I took a look at the draft, and I think it looks amazing for a first article. I also think you handled the potential COI very well, although more references on his personal life would be nice. And since I'm banned from singing the national anthem at Citizens Bank Park and Miller Park, as well as being banned altogether at most veterans' hospitals and symphonies, I was singing folk songs to horses. (Although I'm not actually banned from any of those places, I did actually sing folk songs at an event with a horse). ö Brambleberry of RiverClan 22:49, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

I want help, folks: I am missing which mistake I made. I've been adding to the page "Reamde" - and thanks very much to anyone who can advise me what I've done wrong!

You wrote:
"Per our manual of style on bolding, we should use boldface sparingly. I took a look at a number of featured articles on novels, and found that 1 had character names in bold, 1 had character names in italics, and at least 10 didn't have a list of character names at all because they are worked into the plot summary in prose. (This is definitely something you can do, if you'd like. Otherwise I can. Either way.)"
I admit that, when I edit an article -- and I usually do small and minor edits -- I tend to look at a similar article, rather than to re-read the rules to be sure I'm getting it correct.
You've shamed me enough that I will not do this any more!
However, I confess that I didn't fully follow your point above, about character names in bold. I was under the impression that character names, when given a list by themselves, from a large novel or otherwise large book, should be bold-faced.
I will certainly be happy to make any such corrections that you feel need to be done, because I am super good at detail work; it comes from having been a librarian. But please, Woodroar, I do need just a microbial bit more of explanation of what you want done.
Thanks so much for being so friendly and educational; I love to learn; and I do want to be a great Wiki editor.

Hey! I have gotten myself entangled in a situation which is maybe not worth the trouble.
I've always been amused by the Aptronyms, so when I came across a lady named Dianne Crittenden Forcast, who is a major casting agent in Hollywood, I wanted to add her.
This is probably a waste of time, because someone who monitors the Aptronyms page loves to keep paring the list down. (Some day, I need to have it explained to me why one person gets to decide for everyone else why a list is too long; especially when it is a popular list.)
I have a not-marvellous citation for her name: http://mediatheque.adck.nc/mediath/notice.cfm?numnot=11971
Better and authentic, though, is her name in the opening credits of "Crocodile" Dundee II, where her name, Dianne Crittenden Forcast, is listed right up front. The Wiki page Wikipedia:Citing sources shows that one can, in fact, use a movie as a citation, but I really need to look at an example to understand how. And when I've used the IMDb, I usually find my citation deleted, with the warning that it is not a good source. No offense, but I think it is a much more trustworthy source than Wiki; at least, the IMDb's front pages of movies usually are.
Even if everyone here agrees that Forcast is not a good aptronym for casting agents -- and that's fine, I won't be offended -- I really do want to know how to cite a movie or TV show.
Thank you so much! I am enjoying learning all the rules. OcelotHod ( talk) 22:47, 9 November 2014 (UTC) OcelotHod
I didn't add anything false; and I gave citations. So wtf? Thank you, anybody and everybody!
Hi there. I saw you added some content to Night of the Comet. One problem is that the links to some of the citations seemed to go to unauthorized reproductions of copyrighted works. We can't link to that. Also, you included a review from a self-published blogger. That's not a reliable source. Generally, Wikipedia looks for works by professional journalists that are published in a source that has editorial control. When a website has a button that "contact me" instead of "contact us", that's usually a sign that it's self-published. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 03:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Dierkop, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Man on the Moon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm 4TheWynne. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Jeremy Renner, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! 4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 22:54, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of films featuring time loops, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DonIago ( talk) 12:53, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

I really liked this blog but unfortunately, it does not meet our source requirements as it's a self-published Wordpress blog, so I've undone your edit. I know that's frustrating sometimes. ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 16:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.
Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs ( talk) 15:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Surprise (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lost and Chyron.

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to The Replacement (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) have been removed because you cited the information you added to another Wikipedia article or an external wiki. As discussed at our policies on circular sourcing and self-published sources, Wikipedia and other wikis should not be used in citations because they are not considered reliable sources. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reference, perhaps from the article you originally linked to.
