I hope we see you at the Guild. --Greenmaven (talk) 12:58, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
The IP was right to remove the section, even if s/he gave the wrong reason. It is entirely unsourced and that raises WP:BLP issues. --NeilN talk to me 23:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:58, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Jill! Glad to see you drop by the Teahouse. Welcome to Wikipedia, I'm glad you are here :) Enjoy this freshly baked wiki-cookie! Sarah (talk) 05:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
Hi Junglejill. I saw your question about it. I'm afraid dodo should be lower case. It isn't a proper noun and, as a species name, it's subject to MOS:LIFE in the Manual of Style. Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 09:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, user. Thanks for the reply. I actually edited the section during the last year, but because of my work, I leave them for the past 6 months so that I could let other people edit it. Now although its good to come back at here, but unfortunately many of the articles, including the Arab Spring itself has a lot of un-written important events and major errors, for example the 3rd Jordanian premier resigns and the anti-regime in Mauritania (just to let you know for trivia) and the duration of revolts in Egypts ENDs at 18 days ONLY. But bottomline, thank you. 175.137.55.62 (talk) 09:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

hi marvins room is on the en wiki by drake maybe someone could fix trust issues up a lil bit. --Jme113k (talk) 13:54, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I have removed your CSD nomination at Trust Issues (song). A redirect is not eligible for deletion under WP:CSD#A1. Trust Issues (song) was turned into a redirect by User:TexasAndroid for the reason that the subject has "no indication of independent notability" for an article. As you nominated it for deletion under CSD, I'm assuming you don't challenge the view that the article shouldn't exist. If you think the redirect also shouldn't exist, then you should take this up at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. Thanks! -- KTC (talk) 22:12, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
...but the award creating thingy wouldn't work. :( So I'll just say, I admire the way you've taken on a controversial topic because you care. (Re: the Egyptian Revolution article) Whether you continue to try and influence what happens on that page or not, you've made your opinion known, and that's awesome! Don't let them get you down, OK? Tlqk56 (talk) 22:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry to hear that it was difficult to find instructions on how to edit! In the future, the following links should help :D!
Cheers,
Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 04:05, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Too late, figured out that I should place wp: before the search query. Might be a useful thing to add to that huge welcome message. Thanks. :) ʝunglejill 05:14, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Jill. The page is Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud. There are issues with command of English throughout the article, but it is currently being actively edited as the subject died very recently. If you want to copy edit it quietly go ahead, but I wouldn't be too noisy about it as at least one of the regular editors of that article is kinda touchy. Guyovski (talk) 22:28, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Jill. I'm having a major problem at Talk:Deaths in 2012 with User:Joseph A. Spadaro. The edit history for that talk page shows that things are rapidly going to hell. His user talk page suggests things have gone to hell before when he's been involved. I admit I haven't managed to defuse the conflict as well as I'd like to and maybe have even contributed to it, but all I want is for it to stop. The whole thing makes my ass sore and bores the heck out of me. Please help. Guyovski (talk) 16:47, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Okay, I'll follow their guidance. Thanks for the tips. I believe the information is all there. Greetings. Marcospace (talk) 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Just FYI: Hasheem Thabeet's father is deceased; that fact is even mentioned in the reference that was already at the end of that paragraph. I don't mind that the article is semi-protected; frankly, I prefer it that way. But I just thought you should know that the IP's edit was not vandalism. Zagalejo^^^ 20:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, JungleJill! I have an article I've been expanding over the last few weeks, and the truth is I don't know if I've created something good or a mess. (It has 52 refs, for example.) I think I'm about done info wise, but before I spend much more time on it, I'd love to have someone, or a couple of someones, just read it and give me some input. If you'd be willing to look at it I'd be really grateful, but if you're not interested, I understand. Time is limited. Do you know someone who might look at it for me? It's User:Tlqk56/John R Tunis. Thanks either way. Tlqk56 (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I removed this comment from User talk:Guyovski, which you said an admin could do. I'm not sure continuing a dispute with an indef blocked user who shows not comprehension of how to work collaboratively is helpful. Thanks. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 16:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Well, you may find my gift strange, but I have followed your reasonable responses to someone on 16 June 2012 when Saudi Crown Prince died. I think you should know that your responses made me stay in Wikipedia. I hope this barnstar can express my appreciation to your civilized responses. Thank you very much for being here. Wikipedia needs people like you. Best wishes, Egeymi (talk) 19:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC) |

Hello, Jill!
Manatrayo is seeking help getting an article translated. I went to their talk page and saw that you had already invested a considerable amount of effort in helping with this submission, so I would like to defer the user to you. Please see their message on my talk page. Thank you. Cheers! Stella BATPHONEGROOVES 23:11, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I'm sorry I missed your message; I was away for an extended period and wasn't able to be on very much. My password is currently on a CD at my home of record, so I've had to be anonymous for some time now. Shame Wikipedia's gotten so anti-anon these days, as a side note. Anyway, you're quite welcome to copy the layout—I copied it from Misza13, after all. :p Octane [improve me?] 16.09.12 2121 (UTC)

Come by the Teahouse to share a cup of tea and enjoy a Birthday Cupcake! Happy Birthday to the Teahouse and thank you for a year's worth of interest and support :-)
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. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:38, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
