I removed the prod template on The Shizz article. Since it has already passed AfD, it is not a candidate for prod per Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. Wyatt Riot 03:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About your recent AfD nominations[edit]

Hi there! I appreciate your efforts to help clean up Wikipedia. However, you should note that Alexa rankings alone aren't enough to determine notability of websites. Try to familiarize yourself with policies like verifiability, guidelines like WP:WEB, or helpful tips like the search engine test. Anyway, thanks for your efforts, and happy editing. --Wafulz 03:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, how did you find all that crap? This is a deletionist's best dream! Keep up the good work! MER-C 09:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You blanked my user page the other day[edit]

That was a form of vandalism. Leave user pages alone.RobJ1981 19:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PlayMania medation[edit]

Hello Giant onehead.

Thank you for trying to help Wikipedia by your edits to the PlayMania article. Since there seems to be a disagreement as to what the best course of action is, I think it would be best to come to a consensus on what to do before taking action. Thus, I have started such a discussion on Talk:PlayMania. -- Where 18:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Award[edit]

The Exceptional Newcomer Award
For exceptional enthusiasm and demonstration of understanding in the deletion process to ensuring that Wikipedia remains encyclopedic. Please keep up the good work! - Mailer Diablo 11:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Fram 14:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting content[edit]

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you.

CSD A7 expanded[edit]

You'll be pleased to know that CSD A7 has now been expanded to cover articles on websites that fail to assert notability. You can tag them for deletion using {{db-web}}. Happy editing! MER-C 13:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh My God[edit]

I love you (In a non-gay way). -- Steel 20:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That made me laugh. We need more people like you. -- Steel 20:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. - Lex 02:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been substantially revised since its nomination for AFD, with a particular eye to addressing your concerns under WP:WEB and notability. I feel that in its current form, it both meets the letter and spirit of notability requirements and is better referenced than most similar website articles (especially those regarding pre-2000 Internet content, where citations are often a challenge). As you were the nominator for this article, I would appreciate your input as to whether you feel the changes have addressed the article's shortcomings satisfactorily. Serpent's Choice 07:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries like this are not appropriate[edit]

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you will be blocked for disruption. Wyatt Riot 00:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um ... huh? How can he have engaged in a personal attack with that edit summary when no Wikipedia editor was even named? --Aaron 01:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's just me, but I see edits like that (and this) as "this goes out to you...you know who you are" personal attacks. Since others don't see it that way, I respectfully withdraw the warning. Wyatt Riot 02:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Because of edits like this, I withdraw my withdrawal. I believe the warning should stand. Wyatt Riot 02:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving[edit]

I don't understand what the point was of giving me a warning, I'm going to quit shortly anyway. And the truth is harsh sometimes, and I stand by every word I said. Giant onehead 00:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Leaving or not, I felt the warning was necessary, but I have withdrawn it, as another editor felt it was unnecessary. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to clean up Wikipedia (though I sometimes disagree with you on the specifics), but policies regarding civility are there for a reason. Wyatt Riot 02:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of tobacco-related deaths[edit]

Some of the people who were of elderly age who smoked in all likelihood were progressively getting ill for fairly long period of time (e.g. Vincent Price, Frank Gorshin, Peter Jennings, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnez, Jack Buck, ect.). Jim Varney was a heavy smoker, who ultimately died of lung cancer (he's case was inoperable) at 50 years old. Bart Giamatti, the old baseball commissioner was an overweight (one of the arguements you made against this list) person who smoked. The man smoked roughly up to five packs a day, which quite frankly, sped up his death from a heart attack in his early 50s.

We can't overlook the toll smoking takes on one's body (it doesn't take rocket science if you ask me). I at the bottom of the list, placed an article about the various health effects of smoking to broading the evidence so to speak. Modern advancements in medicine can prolong life but we still can't deny that smoking can cuts down on one's life. My father smoked for as long as I could remember (he's 63 years old and has been smoking for at least 30 years) and he recently had to be hospitalized for high blood pressure. He was coughing a lot because of excess fluid in his lungs. TMC1982 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion[edit]

Several years ago, you were involved in a deletion review on Directional Michigan. Here is the original discussion. A new proposal for deletion has come up and you are invited to participate here.

This note is being posted on the talk pages of everyone involved in that discussion that still has an active account. Feel free to express your opions for or against deletion as you see fit.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
