Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sam Hall (story), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Novelette. 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.

Page Review

I created a new page - Adam Banner. Would you be able to review it for me? Thank you. Billsimmons7 (talk) 16:21, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Deleted Page

Hi there, I had the impression that the Sandbox was a secluded place of page editing and creation, and I didn't think anyone had access to what was written. The page was deleted for promotional purposes. I agree with the claim, because I wrote it intentionally that way so I could go back and edit away the fluff. Can you please reestablish the page, so I at least have the written content? And so I can make the page more neutral. Thanks! (User:Drpaulstoltz/sandbox/Dr. Paul G. Stoltz) Drpaulstoltz (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

National Trust Logo & Website Update

Hi! I noticed you recently(ish) updated the National Trust for Historic Preservation's page, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in making some further factual edits for us. I'm an editorial assistant for the National Trust and was hoping to update my organization's logo and website. I understand that organizations and companies are discouraged from editing their own pages, so I was wondering if you would be interested in making these updates for me? This is our updated website: https://savingplaces.org/ and I can send you assets for our logo if you'd like to fix it (or you can find it on our website).

If you have any other recommendations for the page, you are more than welcome to edit it! We were thinking of removing our 11 Most Endangered Historic Places list, since that changes yearly and could be difficult to keep up with. Thanks for your time!

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Jack Williams, Mayor of Phoenix (1956-60) and Governor of Arizona (1967-75).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
Are we supposed to review pages from the user-space too? Currently, I'm reviewing only articles that are at least 10 days old. —usernamekiran(talk) 22:19, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Could you add new Logo for Master Locksmiths Association

Hi I saw you were the original uploader for the Master Locksmiths Association Logo, this logo is way out of date and I'm not sure how to update it. The correct and latest version can be found below: http://www.locksmiths.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Master-Locksmiths-Association-Logo.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.152.45.209 (talk) 14:53, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The article Benjamin Beduneau has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:BLP1E. No indication of notability outside this single lawsuit.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 07:56, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Why are you reviewing every page in my sandbox?

I don't particularly mind, but I am rather confused by it. OrganoMetallurgy (talk) 03:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

I had some of my sandbox reviewed also, i think it may be because the sandbox cant have illegal stuff in it, so needs to be checked anyway. A Guy into Books (talk) 13:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

What are you doing in my sandbox?

It seems to me that sandboxes should be private, not subject to review by nosy parkers. I think you should remove sandbox pages from the area that you so righteously patrol. Eleuther (talk) 00:53, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

You have no idea how much garbage people try putting in their sandboxes. DS (talk) 03:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for responding to my complaint with a condescending put-down, instead of something meaningful. Eleuther (talk) 09:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Sandboxes are private insofar as you're the only one who's supposed to edit them. They're not private in the sense of nobody else having access to them. Every edit made on Wikipedia can be seen by everyone else at all times. DS (talk) 12:29, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Okay, read away, but why are you sending me black-flag notices about the fact that you have patrolled my sandbox? Don't bother to reply, I have removed the offending material, and will no longer try to use the sandbox facility. Jerk. Eleuther (talk) 01:59, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Mario Cerrito iii

Howdy. A user is claiming that you reviewed Mario Cerrito iii and approved it being created despite the fact that Mario Cerrito III has been deleted multiple times and is protected from being created.

Hey.

Did I edit a page to say that? It was not my intention and I am sorry if I did. I just use Chrome and the extension that makes it that way. I am not going to be sorry for disliking the president. I will be sure to be careful to double-check in the future.

I don't know how to do all the fancy formatting so I hope this message comes your way.

(talk page watcher) Hi there! I'm responding on behalf of DragonflySixtyseven, who needed to step away and asked me to respond and assist you. Unfortunately, the picture you're requesting appears to be copyrighted, meaning that we cannot upload or use this picture on Wikipedia. Because we're a free encyclopedia that's open for anyone to access, read, and use - we cannot use anything from outside sources that is copyrighted and without the permission of the copyright holder. It's actually a Wikipedia policy that we handle and take seriously here, per Wikipedia's policies on copyright violations.

[1] It is not really a question of whether it was in poor taste or it was insensitive to his friends and family or not (it is, on both counts), you see, in the main part of the United Kingdom (i.e., in England and Wales), English law means "suicide" as a fact on the cause of death can only be established by the Coroner though a Coroner's Inquest. There might be a few more regular British Trolls on Wikipedia who don't seem to like to be told they might be wrong sometimes, you see, I am afraid!

Ofner

Hi DragonflySistyseven, yes, I am new to editing. My question is about what constitutes reader value in Wikipedia.org. I tried to start a page about Johann 'Yogi' Ofner, a seasoned Australian stunt double, model, actor and carpenter, with minimal facts. Johann Ofner was killed during the filming of a music video for the hip hop crew "Bliss n Eso" on Monday 22nd January, 2017. His prop gun was found to have shrapnel inside before it was subsequently discharged and the fragments penetrated his chest and killed him. The Stunt Coordinator on the filming was [name removed] (I doubt [name removed] would want this included on the page for obvious reasons) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Ninja_Warrior_(season_1) Johann Ofner's name is mentioned in tribute at the end of Episode 4. www.couriermail.com.au/news/...film-set/.../bf9f6ed0a5a61d95c36144e954ad25a5 I wish I could tell you more about him, but without it being on Wikipedia, noone else can contribute, as I don't personally know his family and friends. I was hoping to get the ball rolling, as with everything, there would be a load of other facts and credits to fill out the page once his family and friends are aware it exists. On the other hand, this is my last appeal to have it included, as it has, I think, already been deleted. I don't know why no-one has put a page up already. Understandably it will still be very raw for everyone for many years.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and added a source to back up your recent addition to May 26. Please try to find sources for additions to these pages as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you.
