I tried to clarify what the drug, Kaopectate, was for. Before my edit it had no link to the sentence before, which describes how pectin can combat diarrhoea and constipation. I thought I should clarify this point. Why was it reverted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pureferret (talk • contribs) 15:23, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello! Back in November you added "disputed" and "expert-subject" tags to the article Henry Eccles. A new editor has just removed them, but doesn't seem to have cleared up any of the confusion. I was going to re-add the tags, but I thought I'd check with you first. There are also articles on the related composers Solomon Eccles and John Eccles which seem to contain contradictions too, and they are all lacking in reliable sources. I've just given myself a headache trying to make sense of them all. --Deskford (talk) 02:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome message and cookies! I'm not a great writer, but I'm hoping to work mainly on adding references to articles. Is there a log or something similar of articles that need references? Also, I'm not very familiar with computer languages. Any tips on how to learn the syntax/language.

Hello, Vrenator. I think you were right in the frst place. The anonymous editor left the article in a dreadful state, with multiple duplications. LynwoodF (talk) 10:11, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
It seems that you removed the reference to ECMerge in Comparison of comparison tools, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_file_comparison_tools&oldid=466005583 could you explain why? the comment talks about "addition".
ECMerge was there since many years, and is rather well referenced by many source code control tools as a differ (see git, hg, various svn clients...)

I feel my edit reverted on a link referencing to 'Colleges and Universities in Punjab' for Thapar University's page is unneeded since its a nationally recognized college and should be compared appropriately.

The term you have marked for speedy deletion is a common used term in not only Georgia, but much of the rural southern states... The quote from Tamela Martinez is one she sent me directly from a facebook message because we were arguing the Origins of the word... My ex supervisor, Daniel Ramsey, straightened the matter when he showed us "The Wore-out Sole" believed to be one of the first manuscripts or short novel written by an African American during the Post Abolition Era. Check your history. You must be from up north. These are real people too, message them on Facebook or come to Rev. Ramsey;s sermon at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Washington Rd. in Evans GA ,--Thatwhiteguy78 (talk) 10:32, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello! You reverted my edit, but I think that my edit is not vandalism. I deleted this phrase: "In march 2012 will be held premiere of season 2." That's in fact machine translation from the same Russian article, and there's no any sources to the "premiere of season 2". In fact, some fans in Russian Wikipedia constantly adding lines like "2 season will be in the end of 2011" or "2 season will be in 2011, july", but no any sources and no press-releases until now. So I reverted the original phrase (in russian version of this article) and reverted it on english version. -- 2.60.31.50 (talk) 12:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC).
Hello V,
May I ask why you reversed my recent edit to the Daniel LeBlanc page? It was a correction to punctuation; do you disagree that the plural of descendant is descendants?

Hi again,
Would you please excuse my last communication to you, I was replying to you about a message I saw on my comp from you, but it was not meant for me, it was meant for another User. Soooo sorry about this, I think Wiki is too complicated to use sometimes, if you ask me. Like for instance, why does it show a message that looks like it's addressed to me, when it is not? Don't worry you don't have to answer that, I just have to be a lot more careful around Wiki!
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding,

I hired someone to write an article about my company on Wikipedia (I was looking for an experimented wiki user) and you requested its speedy deletion. I had to edit it myself but I am a new Wikipedia user, could you please tell me what I should do to keep it alive ? I would like users who type in the name of my company to find an article in wikipedia introducing it and explaining its features.
And I'm really sorry for my poor english, I am french.
Thank you very much

It is really not intended to advertise the website, I just wanted to have a page that describes the company when people type in its name in Google for example. I tried to follow the same page structure as this one for example : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebMD
I understand that it is a much smaller company and that we don't have much press yet, but is it possible to have a simple page describing the website and its aims ?
Thank you for your time. If there is absolutely no way of keeping this page alive, I would understand. Techlabsfr (talk) 12:52, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi again Vrenator :) Thank you for pointing this out. I have deleted that paragraph altogether.

Is there anything else which isnt suitable? Keithmonti (talk) 13:15, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Again again, Thank you for the removal. I feel the articles are encyclopedic when you take the company they are from. I felt the system requirements could be important but then again maybe you are right about them too so i'll delete them .

Dear Vrenator, hope my messages reaches you here as I cannot send it to you via the talks section - don't know why... I have created a wikipage for the European Snacks Association (my new employer) and I based it on the wikipage of my previous employer International Association of Public Transport (UITP). I dont know what I did wrong because I simply used the information on our website, which is not promoting any products, but representing the interests of a sector - like thousands of other non-profit associations here on wikipedia. I would very much recommend your reply. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards, Sebastian Sebastianemig (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, with regard to your revert here, it does appear sourced in a later ref added by the same anon IP. You may want to reconsider or challenge the source if you feel it is too weak.

I've just reverted your STiKi edit at Telaga. The summary for the change that you reverted was hopeless & so it is understandable why you would have done what you did.

An edit was recently undone by you on the Ponderosa High School (Parker, CO) page, in the Notable Alumni section. This was probably justly done, as the edit was ridiculous. However, I fear that you might not have gone far enough. Only a handful of the people on that page are notable in any regard - and many of them have even more trivial (and fabricated) accomplishments than in the edit you deleted.

There's a difference between EMBRYONIC stem-cell research (which Carl Levin explicitly supports) and ADULT stem-cell research. Saying just stem-cell research leads to confusion. Carl Levin is a proponent for embryonic stem-cell research and this is the type of research that causes controversy. How is this "vandalism"? There is a very important distinction between embryonic stem-cell research and adult stem-cell research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.178.170 (talk) 06:46, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi there Vrenator, Did you actually view the "Absolut" Greyhound video? Yes, its commercial, and its bizarre - but it is an authentic cultural reference to the Greyhound. I don't think that was vandalism. Best wishes Richard Hawkins (talk) 03:12, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
See the video and you will understand. I thought there was a link. If the link was not made, it was probably due to ineptness. I don't mind one way or the other. It is commercial, but it is also a valid, possibly interesting cultural reference.Richard Hawkins (talk) 11:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Greetings Vrenator. As the developer of the STiki anti-vandal tool, I would like to thank you for recent and non-trivial use of my software. Whether you just tried out the tool briefly or have been a long-term participant, I appreciate your efforts (as I am sure does the entire Wikipedia community)!
I write to inform you of a new version of the software (link goes to list of new features). This version addresses multiple long-term issues that I am happy to put behind us. Try it out! Provide some feedback!
The STiki project is also always seeking collaborators. In particular, we are seeking non-technical colleagues. Tasks like publicity, talk-page maintenance, advertisement, and barn-star distribution are a burden to technical development. If you are interested, write me at my talk page or STiki's talk page.
As STiki approaches two significant thresholds: (1) 100,000 revert actions and (2) 400 unique users -- I hope to have your support in continuing the efficient fight against unconstructive editing. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've removed the speedy tag as they claim on their website to have appeared on a national TV program. It should probably go to AFD though: I can't find any WP:RS confirming it, and that might not even be enough if it was only a quick mention rather than a substantial appearance.

The Synergy Resources page was on par with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicor page. Both were references for ERP software creators. If the Epicor page continues to exist, then that is an inconsistent application of the guidelines. The "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" link was not available.

Monochromatic and monochrome are two words, meaning something slightly different. Which one is meant here. I seem to find that the other one is meant here, but perhaps I am wrong.

Hi Venrator. You sent a message just now to the IP address I'm currently using. Your message is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:60.230.198.136&diff=cur. However, such a messge is pointless, as I get a new IP every time I boot up my PC, as do most people. I've never understood this aspect of how Wikipedia works - it seems dumb. Edits to articles should be forbidden unless (a) the editor is a registered Wikipedian, & (b) he/she is identified by a password or cookie. Not suprisingly, the quality of many articles is dropping.

Hello Vrenator, the user Dharmji1 has repeatedly been adding promotional content to Armori, disrespecting your previous warnings. As I checked on this page recently, I noticed he had again added advertisement about his company, this time cleverly embedded in a poorly written "EDUCATION" section, which I deleted.

Sorry, you can't speedy a plot summary for lack of significance. I did a little digging (ons Google search...) and it's a self-published book, so I've prodded it. I'm finding some odd speedy tagging since this damn Page Curation thing appeared. Might be down to that. I've looked at it, and didn't like it. And told them so, too. Looks like it ought to be in colour but is displaying in greyscale, and that ******* thing that slides up and down obscures the text and looks like one of those addthis things that pester you to 'like' or 'digg' things. If I get more odd tags from people who usually know what they're doing, I'll start keeping records and checking up - and if I find it's this PC thing, I definitely won't be PC when I let those responsible for it know..

Greetings, I was just about to place a block on the IP with the school softblock template.

It doesn't look like the owner has any intention to stop, it would be best to take this to the Admins, it looks like a school IP to me so it may be best to ask the Admin to check whom it belongs to.

I did not make a page on DiffMerge. I added it to a table in an article comparing many Merge tools, which don't all have dedicated pages. It is ridiculous to delete this because I didn't make a separate dedicated page for DiffMerge. There is no requirement that every mention of something in one page have its own separate page—this creates an undo burden and defeats the purpose of Wiki and community input. If I had the time to do that, I would have. Your automated deletion of what took time and energy to add to the wiki is quite rash. It is a notable tool that operates on all major OSes, and I don't have to justify it to you. Please un-Undo your deletion of my edits, or we can just seek a mod's and/or community input here.
