Adoption[edit]

I noticed that you have requested to be adopted, so, I'll offer my assistance. {{adoptoffer}} Undeath (talk) 06:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Church[edit]

In the article, you need to actually cite the sources and when you use them. You have to use the little button that sais "ref" on the toolbar to do this. See Wikipedia:Citation templates Undeath (talk) 16:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Message[edit]

Could you link me to the pages? People should never make articles about places where they work. It poses a huge conflict of interest. Undead Warrior (talk) 00:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undead: I disagree with you somewhat. If you take a look at WP:COI, it does say that COI editing should be avoided if possible, but it never forbids people to edit pages that they may have a COI with. It does say that users should "exercise great caution" and that Wikipedia "strongly discourages" it. However, tt is completely possible to edit something that one may have a conflict of interest in, and maintain a neutral point of view.
Katherine: see my response to your request for feedback at WP:FEED. Killiondude (talk) 23:49, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a problem when the main contributors to an article are directly tied with it. That not only has a COI issue, but also starts to deal with original research. Undead Warrior (talk) 08:36, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I tend to agree with User:Killiondude here... there is nothing to say a conflicted editor can't be as good if not better than any other editor (remember they're both more knowledgeable and more motivated than other editors), provided they are careful to avoid WP:NPOV, WP:OR, etc. violations. See WP:WHYCOI for more. -- samj inout 05:22, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest that you just change the article itself instead of copying it here and making changes. As long as you keep things in a neutral tone ("Just the facts"), then it'll be fine. I'll keep an eye on the page to make sure things are going okay. If you have any questions about how to edit/format/etc. on Wikipedia, feel free to ask. You might also wanna check out WP:WELCOME, it has some introductory info for things on Wikipedia. Killiondude (talk) 00:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • In response to your comments here. Don't worry, just change the article. You should use <ref> tags for the citations, or I can add them if you want. As a side note, my name is Iván, not Daniel. --Canaima (talk) 18:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of Comodo Group on your userpage[edit]

Hello, I've just noticed you seem to have a new copy of the Comodo Group page on your userpage. I have to say, it's not doing a lot of good there! Why not copy it over to the main page before your content becomes deprecated?

Just as a suggestion I've already made on the active page, Comodo Group press releases aren't really trusted third party information sources, even when hosted on third party sites. Random name (talk) 21:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Random Name. That was my working draft. We had some dissension about what the actual page should say, so I posted my working copy on my userpage for comments. I suppose I should delete it from my user page, but what if I need it one day for reference? (I have the same problem with shoes.) Katharine908 (talk) 10:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Katharine908, just to let you know I moved your comments from my userpage to my talk page. No worries, but please try to find useful sources of links - I'm afraid some of the ones you are finding are a bit dubious! The one for the 90% blocking, for example - that's a very odd source page - it has grammatical errors, punctuation issues, and capitalization issues which all tell me it isn't a professional source of information. I'm afraid if something can't be cited, it's not worth having in Wikipedia, even if it is something nice about your employer. Random name (talk) 21:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of William Jordan, Financial Adviser[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is William Jordan, Financial Adviser. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Jordan, Financial Adviser. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Combined oral contraceptive pill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Searle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Sockpuppet investigations[edit]

I admit it may confuse you, but there is no accusation whatsoever. Circumstantial evidence shows that checks have to made as much as a process of elimination as to establish guilt. It's a perfectly established method of investigation - certainly by the CID in the UK. People who protest too much also draw even more suspicion onto themselves - a proven psychological phenomenon, such as in the case when they refuse to provide a DNA sample in a sweep for a criminal. You probably don't have anything to worry about. Even I was included in an SPI once. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:05, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Meatpuppetry[edit]

I have blocked you 72 hours for meatpuppetry and my closing statement may be read here. You may review the guide to appealing blocks and request that another admin review your case if you wish. Thank you,
