Vandalism
I did not point out that Sp20136761's user page is vandalism. I pointed out that it could be regarded as vandalism (not by myself but perhaps by other editors). Therefore, my edit on the talk page should not be challenged, since your understanding of what I meant in the user's talk page was just your own interpretation of something that was not stated clearly enough. My edit on the user's talk page is of good faith, and I did not label the user's talk page as vandalism. I understand that the user page of Sp20136761 does not meet any of the Wikipedia definitions of vandalism, but my edit on the user's talk page is just a reminder for him as some inexperienced editors may regard the user page as vandalism, and may therefore challenge the page, and it is understood that he is encouraged to be bold when editing but should also consider changing the content of the user page so as to make it less susceptible to being regarded as vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Average Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 14:35, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

About Palaeococcus helgesonii
Good evening from Australia, Good afternoon!
I have declined the speedy deletion of Palaeococcus helgesonii, as the article now has enough to to say what it is about. Thanks for patrolling new pages - this is essential to the protecting the integrity of Wikipedia. Please don't be put off by the speedy decline - it just happened to be looked by an admin who is not a scientist, but is nevertheless fascinated by Archaea.

Disambiguation link notification for November 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Menstruation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mensuration. 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.
