Hello ChristTrekker! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 7 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

I have nominated Ulgoland, 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/Ulgoland. 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. avs5221 (talk) 04:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Brennen Caldwell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for fictional characters.

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. Neelix (talk) 13:52, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ku Klux Klan. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

How very interesting, that I get this notice on my Talk page, but the other editors involved do not؟ ⇔ ChristTrekker 16:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You were the only editor who made 3 reverts. Another editor reverted you twice and no other editor made more than one revert. You could have been blocked had you made a fourth revert. Furthermore the editors opposing your edit had set up a discussion that you chose not to join.[1] TFD (talk) 17:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So I was ganged up on, and that makes me the bad guy. Gotta love Wikipedia.

Hadn't noticed the Talk discussion. When I revert and start a discussion about it, my comment says "see Talk page" as a courtesy. Oh well. Guess I'll go over and check that out. ⇔ ChristTrekker 17:28, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A request for comment that may interest you is currently in progress at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/2010 ArbCom election voting procedure. If you have already participated, then please disregard this notice and my apologies. A Horse called Man 20:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of archery civilizations is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of archery civilizations until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 23:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:13, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, add a tutorial in the talkpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps/Conventions/Orthographic_maps ;) I don't know what I have to look for, which direction, out of GMT and find some political database. Yug (talk) 13:39, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoying some of your userboxes. Thanks for making them.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for your creative (and true) userboxes! I just shamelessly swiped two of them for my own userpage. --Andrew (User:90) (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

☺‼ From a quick glance at your userboxes, it appears we have a fair bit in common. ⇔ ChristTrekker 18:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to inform you, a few of the political parties meta data templates you created are being nominated for deletion. Please see the discussion here. Thanks, Zangar (talk) 12:00, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo ! My utmost apologies - you are quite right I neglected to see the history behind this; will double-check where necessary to see if it really is a typo ! my fault ! And thank you for pointing that out to meEugene-elgato (talk) 16:18, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also I probably should do that a little more also - mostly neglect it for all the typos i correctEugene-elgato (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sean Keith has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

I wasn't even aware of that category being there, and it took me awhile to figure out where it came from. Having done that, I deleted it. So your deletion was correct, but your approach was incorrect. Unless someone has something extremely gross or vile or otherwise rule-violating on their page, don't mess with it yourself - ask the user first. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:00, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was systematically fixing a category tree. It's an implementation detail that scatters category information amongst multiple pages. If the linkages were all maintained from the category page (another possible implementation), you'd never have noticed. Maybe in the future you could not subst user templates, so the problem wouldn't occur at all. I'm sorry my actions seems to have created such offense—it certainly wasn't intended or expected to. I don't like people touching my user pages either, but if I made an actual mistake that is affecting things outside my page, I'd be thankful for someone to just fix it. My goal is to make Wikipedia better. ⇔ ChristTrekker 14:06, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would take a lot more than that to offend me. Just be aware that I am on several dozen other editors' watchlists, for one reason or another, so there were any number of them waiting to pounce on it. :) I generally don't rubber-stamp copy others' user boxes, I design my own, sometimes based on someone else's. I might have done that in this case also, and somehow the categorization slipped past me. If something like this comes up in future, just let me know, and I'll take care of it. :) P.S. The reason I design my own is partly just to learn how, and partly because I find the proliferation of "this user" to be pretentious. This user never refers to itself in third-person. (Or hardly ever.) :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:44, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I guess I've learned that a little extra courtesy goes a long ways. BTW, I hate the "this user" bit as well, and found a way around it. You might take a look at how I do my userboxes. Hopefully it will catch on. ⇔ ChristTrekker 13:15, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw. Pretty nifty. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on that set of userboxes!! I saw in on page patrol today

Thanks‼ What's page patrol? ⇔ ChristTrekker 19:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

.... Have you thought of adding a relationship status of "it's complicated" like facebook?  KoshVorlon. Angeli i demoni krushili nado mnoj...  19:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea! Done. ⇔ ChristTrekker 19:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page patrol is this If you go to this page and have his vandalism tool, you can see recent changes and roll them back if they're vandal or test edits!
