Thanks for updating the link at Weekday Religious Education. The source was valid at one time, but it appears the website's domain name registration has expired and, as is unfortunately customary, has been replaced by an ad site. I'll try to see if an archived version of the original site exists somewhere online. -- JeffBillman (talk) 03:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Varicella vaccine appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. richi (talk) 20:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't disagree with your POV, but it is just that: a POV. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a manual for social services staff. However, if you can find citations where observer express this POV, it would be appropriate for an encyclopedia to note these views ... richi (talk) 10:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Additions to "Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors" article
[edit]We are trying to source all the material for the article on "Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors", since the topics are controversial. Please add sources for your unreferenced additions, or they may be deleted. Thanks, --Mikiemike (talk) 20:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Carol Morgan School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}
to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
RE: Jason O'Toole Deletion Contested
[edit]I've restored the history of the article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:24, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Deleting my source
[edit]Would you mind telling me why you chose to delete the sources I had for my edits on the K-1 Visa article? They were legitimate sources, and given the history directly above this paragraph, where they restored the history of an article that you allegedly deleted completely, I'd say you're just out to make reasonable Wiki editors' lives difficult, so stop.Wikieditor1988 (talk) 21:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International Justice Mission, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Empower (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

[edit]Please refrain from further reverts to Big Cat Rescue
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Big Cat Rescue. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --Hipal (talk) 02:04, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I noticed that you changed content in the article on the town of Orania in South Africa. Please could you explain why you think your proposed wording is best at Talk:Orania#Afrikaner Separatist v. White Separatist. Please have a look at "Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle", which is an explanatory essay about the Wikipedia:Consensus and Wikipedia:Be bold pages. I think you will find it helpful because it explains Wikipedia policies.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:17, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
