Hello, I am He who edited the Terra Nullius page. I considered it worthwhile as everyone who is looking at such a page is likely to do so wishing to found a nation. I wanted to deter others from making a claim and moving there just to see it had already been made, and that I was already living there. with a shotgun. I merely wanted to spare both of us that fate, so I put in an unofficial semi-claim. 69.180.244.219 (talk) 23:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Revision to Canadian federal election, 2015/bc-fv

As the election campaign period continue, more people are added to the official list of candidates published by Elections Canada. In Vancouver Quadra, Scott Andrews has gone from being a prospective candidate to being a confirmed candidate. All the confirmed candidates appear on elections.ca, the official website of Elections Canada. On the Wikipedia list, they are referenced with © as a shorthand, which is explained on the page. Candidates who have not yet been confirmed are given other references. What you have done is to revert my correct edit. According to your revert, Scott Andrews is not a confirmed candidate. According to my edit and reality, he is: http://www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/candidates?L=e&ED=59039&EV=41&EV_TYPE=1&PC=&PROV=BC&PROVID=59&MAPID=&QID=8&PAGEID=17&TPAGEID=&PD=&STAT_CODE_ID=-1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.187.145 (talk) 20:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@69.157.187.145: Sorry-- must have misread it on huggle! There's lots of vandalism going on at the moment, and I must have skipped through it thinking it was something malicious. Again, sorry about that, I'll have to pay closer attention next time I come across a page with that notation. Not sure how many times I reverted your edit, but hopefully it wasn't too much of an inconvenience! Regards -Zortwort (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I saw your revision to Shooting of Michael Brown, and your post to the account's talk page. Thank you for volunteering your time to make Wikipedia a better place. We need more editors who spend time patrolling for vandalism, and I hope that you enjoy doing so :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 05:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Oswah: Glad you appreciate it. You're quite the admirable vandal-fighter--you keep reverting things before I even get a chance to read them! I certainly do enjoy supporting the cause, thanks for awarding me my first barnstar! -Zortwort (talk) 05:31, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

edit of Alex Myers Wiki

dagnabbit

@Pauliesnyder: Sorry, calling Alex Myers an "all around nice-guy" isn't encyclopedic content. It's a non-objective claim that hasn't been reported upon by multiple reliable third-party sources (as much as I trust you, your claim about his gesture cannot be verified), and thus is not suitable to an article aimed at reporting the irrefutable facts about him. Similarly, your edit does not represent a neutral point of view. See WP:NPV and WP:NOTFANSITE for more information on the relevant guidelines and policies. You might also consider reading the notability guidelines at WP:N to see what information qualifies to be included in a wikipedia article. -Zortwort (talk) 22:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Pauliesnyder: Furthermore, you should take this up on Talk:Alex Meyer (baseball), not on my talk page. Those responsible for that article are much more qualified to respond than I.

User page

Hi Zortwort! Thank you for all your work disambiguating links. They are little edits that make big contributions to the wiki.

At the moment you have a red link to your user page. This is because you haven't added anything to it. Unfortunately, you may find that some editors will think you are a brand new editor and that you might not know what you are doing, simply because you don't have a user page. I would recommend that you add some thing to it. Perhaps a summary of your editing habits? Or you may want to added a few userboxes.

Happy editing! Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 04:45, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaia Octavia Agrippa and Gaia Octavia Agrippa: Surprising that that's never occurred to me-- I'll have a look at some others' user pages and create my own when I get a chance. Thanks for the tip! -Zortwort (talk) 04:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
