List of Marvel Comics endearments has been nominated — unfortunately, I believe — for deletion. As a contributor to that article, you might want to comment, pro or con, at its "Articles for Deletion" discussion. --Tenebrae 05:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as a contributor to Gary Numan articles, just letting you know that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Machine Trilogy is listed. Cheers, Ian Rose 05:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 09:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Jay Leno. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. Thank you. A new name 2008 (talk) 02:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. A new name 2008 (talk) 02:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drain, by going with the official credit you've eliminated valuable info re creation of the script. Pepso2 (talk) 22:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"hastily pulled from release" is not correct. The film remained in theaters while changes were made. Pepso2 (talk) 14:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great job, Drain! I'm enjoying seeing the top-notch effort you are putting into this extensive expansion. Use of all caps for emphasis is "incorrect" says WP:MOSCAPS. Pepso2 (talk) 12:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Mad Max 2. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. magnius (talk) 02:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Black Sunday (1977 film), but we cannot accept original research.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel song) into Say Anything.... While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
