re: warning to User talk:38.100.105.133
Greetings Dmadeo!
I noted that you recently left a level 2 warning at this IPs talk page.
This IP is a chronic vandal, and unfortunately, there has been some difficulty in blocking the IP because editors have not been giving graduated warnings that allow for blocks (I'm not sure if you have seen the IP's talk page, but this is obvious). Since the warning given prior to yours was already a level 2, could you consider changing your warning to a level 3? Thanks for your hard work! LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:36, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Redaktor_Wikipedia_600px.png/130px-Redaktor_Wikipedia_600px.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice to see you at NYU Wikiconference
Thank you for coming up and introducing yourself on Saturday. Alas, I can't remember what was making me busy at the moment; probably figuring some aspect of hustling up lunch or something for the crowd. I did get a chance later to discuss geotagging for a productive hour with a bridge fan and sometime Wikiphotographer from Philadelphia. Someday we should organize a picture panel or similar attention getter at one of these annual Wikiconferences. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Sacks spiral for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article Sacks spiral, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sacks spiral until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. The main issue is that the article appears to contain original research. Will Orrick (talk) 16:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

Bell Laboratories Building (Manhattan)
Thanks. I changed the category, but I'm not sure that it is correct from the article. I think the article clearly states that there are many buildings and very little detail about each one. It would be nice if details about each building could be added over time. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

National Register Information System at AFD
Because the nominator of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Register Information System and the page's creator have just been interaction-banned, I've closed this discussion. Because it's not fair to participants like you to force you to start all over again, I've reopened it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Register Information System (2nd nomination), and I've copied your comments over there. Feel free to participate further over there. Nyttend (talk) 13:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Article Feedback deployment
Hey Dmadeo; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 06:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Edit conflict on progress page
We just edit conflicted at the NRHP progress page. Seems we were working on the same thing at the same time. I had already calculated all the percentages and you had only done a few, so I just wrote over your edit.. Everything looked like it matched up, but feel free to check again.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 04:28, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Darius Dhlomo Drive
Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cypress Gardens (South Carolina), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cooper River (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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Austin, Nichols and Company Warehouse may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Announcing: NRHP Fall Photo Contest!The WP:NRHP Fall 2014 Photo Contest will kick off at midnight eastern time on Monday September 1! This is an opportunity for all folks with a camera (or a sketchpad and scanner, doncha know) and an interest in the National Register of Historic Places to just have some low-key fun and maybe get some barnstars. Come submit some photos or pose a challenge to your fellow editors. And maybe, just maybe, along the line we'll improve the encyclopedia... (Note that while this contest is intentionally concurrent with Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 and the Wikipedia Summer of Monuments, there ain't gonna be no cash prizes or press releases here.
