Wikipedia needs you
[edit]Hi, Niremetal. You have helped with a number of articles in the past, but you haven't edited any articles in a while. Could you make some new contributions soon to help make Wikipedia better?
- Check out these articles chosen for you, based on your past edits, to help you find articles that need work.
I hope you decide to become a more active contributor again. Feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. -- ForteTuba 04:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
AfD Nomination: Penn Singers
[edit]An editor has nominated the article Penn Singers for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Penn Singers. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Penn Singers during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.

You are just as culpable as I in the edit war, and I'll note that you're the one doing reversions without providing any explanation.Niremetal 19:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- You were reverted by three users in total. Quadzilla99 20:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Penn Singers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}
to the top of Penn Singers. Deb (talk) 17:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Connecticut for Lieberman
[edit]Thank you for getting rid of some of the editorializing in this article. Perhaps you might consider doing it again for the most recent additions, which are unabashed editorializing, not based on any verifiable source. Skorchin (talk) 17:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
You suggested these lyrics were in the public domain. Could you substantiate that please? In the absence of any evidence I have reverted your edit as a likely copyright violation. Please discuss on the article's talk page. Cyclopaedic (talk) 07:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. nableezy - 20:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC) 20:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- See my response on the talk page. You're the one who tried to mess with the well-settled way in which this issue is discussed, not me. Niremetal (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for referencing me in your edit message on A Serious Man. Some may mistakenly believe that you and I have a disagreement about something. What were you thinking? --Ring Cinema (talk) 14:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Just trying to get your attention. If your talk page is any indication, you don't always take it well when other people edit pages you've worked on. Niremetal (talk) 14:29, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- I don't mind good edits at all. I engage in a lot of give and take, but I don't go for weak reasoning. Thanks for the consideration, however. The particular issue you raised was on my radar but I wasn't sure. Maybe you have an opinion on the other potential OR issue that I mentioned in discussion. --Ring Cinema (talk) 00:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
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.

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.

Disambiguation link notification for July 26
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Iván Navarro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2009 US Open. 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.

[edit]Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
