Yourfriend1, good luck, and have fun. -- — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moving articles[edit]

I see you've moved Thomas Overbury and Gervase Helwys. Please note that this is contrary to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British peerage point 5. If you have any reason they should not have the "Sir" removed, speak now (here). Clarityfiend (talk) 06:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those two examples you gave were also incorrectly named, so I'll move them. I see somebody has already moved Overbury and Helwys back. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Yourfriend1! 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 937 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Ben Cabrera - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 18:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Miser[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Miser. 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/Miser. 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) 01:04, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lars von Trier[edit]

Hi there Yourfriend1, and thanks for contributing to Lars von Trier. I noticed you added some talk directed at me to the article. This kind of thing is more suited to the article's talk page or my user talk page, rather than the article itself. Also, Wikipedia policy is for editing decisions to be made by consensus, so if you disagree with my removal of the material from the lead and the "Expulsion from Cannes" section, then the thing to do is discuss it on the talk page, rather than simply reverting. I'll be happy to hear your arguments for including it. Here is a link to the relevant discussion. All the best. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May 2011[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lars von Trier. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

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.
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; 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:40, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:3RRN[edit]

Hi again Yourfriend1, this is to let you know that there is a discussion about you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Yourfriend1 reported by User:Mr. Stradivarius (Result: ). — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 07:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the result of WP:AN3#User:Yourfriend1 reported by User:Mr. Stradivarius (Result: Warned) which contains a warning for you. EdJohnston (talk) 17:57, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry case[edit]

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yourfriend1 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. EdJohnston (talk) 19:48, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Navboxes on author pages[edit]

Since you have over 100 edits at Charles Dickens, you might want to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Novels#Derivative_works_and_cultural_references_templates regarding including navigation boxes for adaptations of and related subjects to an authors works on the author's bio page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:13, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
