I'm sorry, I was too enthusiastic at that point, but, I've now posted on the discussion page, so please check there as soon as possible. But, some were fictional? I've encountered Askefruer in folkloric texts many times, but I've never seen them being fictional.
Anyway, you're welcome, I'm not sure what the original spelling on all of the creatures was, as I'm not too familiar with the Celtic language, so I have some trouble distinguishing between Anglo-Saxon, Scottish and Welsh names, so if I'm mistaken, please correct it. I have some creatures in a document I've made, but as it includes every creature I can find from every mythology and folklore, and since only the names are present(as it contains well over 300 beings), I can't distinguish between all of them. Satanael 12:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I checked it, Askefruer are mythical/folkloric creatures, they aren't fictional.
Anyway, I'll do my best to improve what I can. Satanael 18:22, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Satanael! I appreciate your interest in improving Scandinavian folklore, even though I'm not sure that the subject is large enough to demand a topics table, nor am I a very big fan of those. I'll let it rest as it is, however. I made some formatting, since I personally think that the tables at Norse mythology and Celtic mythology are rather ugly looking.
That said, feel free to be bold when editing the folklore articles. If I wasn't so lazy, I would already had straighten out the difference at wight between vättar/tussar and huldrefolk/vitterfolk. There's also a lot more to be done, of course. --Salleman 14:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I've removed your article nomination in FAC. I'm not sure which of the two you want to feature. Could you please sort things out? Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Don't worry about it, as I only really want the Norse mythology article there. Nominating the other one was pointless of me. Satanael 15:20, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, I thought I was doing it wrong, I'm still a little confused of all the things on Wikipedia, so if I'm doing something incorrectly, please correct it.
Well my freakin goodness person, referring to the Fallen angel page. Satan was named Lucifer, look it up in the frikin bible your self. Plus the saying, "you see God and you die," is a well known phrase as I see. I'm adding back Lucifer, save for the phrase. Your aggressiveness is uncanny, you're the idiot.Rhetoricalwater 05:00, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Ok kid, I'm not going to argue with someone I don't know, so have it your way. If you call yourself a Christian, you should have the knowledge that Satan in Luicfer, and Lucifer is the devil. I was cleaning and adding to the Fallen angel page, and I suggested that it would be in people's best interest to know that Satan in Luicfer, and Lucifer is the devil. Don't you know that Satan is Lucifer. If you object, tell me why Satan is not Lucifer. And no, I have low tolerance towards people who don't know me, criticizing me. But has no reason to be ruled ignorance. You have not taken things into consideration and thought, therefore you must be lurking in the domes of ignorance, and furthermore if you do things like that, it's acting like a kid. And yes, you were aggressive, I deciphered in your words. Oh yes, I don't vandalise, in fact I've reverted vandalism over 20 times.Rhetoricalwater 12:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Retorical water is right. Lucifer is Satan. But when he is called Lucifer, it refers to him before he fell from heaven, when his still was a seriphim of God. OmniAngel 14:46, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
If there's no such thing as the unholy trinity, why are references in Beelzebub??? AHEM: Most modern demonologists has the unholy trinity consisting of Satan, Lucifer and Beelzebub. Satan as the Devil and Sovereign of Earth, Lucifer as Hell's top monarch and Beelzebub as Hell's leading politician. Please, get your facts straight. Rhetoricalwater 18:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Hello Satanael, you recently made a new additions to the SNK Boss Syndrome page, but forgot to go to the Talk:SNK_Boss_Syndrome page and list the reasons why Night Terror has the Syndrome. So if you could please go there, list and provide one or two links, the addition will be added. Until then, unfortunately, I've removed him from the page.--Vertigo200 16:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Apologies for being so blunt here, but you were extremely rude on your edit comments on the article Beelzebub, not to mention not supporting your reverts in any logical way other than claiming that my changes "suck" -- While it's nice to see that you admit that you are a high school student who could not manage to graduate with other people and are now taking another year remedially, how this background would enable you to set yourself up as some sort of expert on encyclopedia writing is a great mystery. In fact, from what I have seen of your edits in most places, you aren;t follow Wikipedia standards in the slightest. As one of many examples, you shouldn't just randomly create sections called "To be written" in live articles, creating new articles call Topic in culture is simply absurd, as every article is a that topic in some culture, what you are looking for is most likely Topic in fiction or not even a separate article at all. Be that as it all may, you need to readjust your attitude, not make personal attacks, and read up on the standards of this encyclopedia. As yet another example, you moved an image of a character (Beelxebub) that is facing to the right back to the right hand side of the screen after I had moved it to the left. The Wikipedia style guide is very clear that right-facing images need to be on the left. And when a section is full of nonnotable trivial details, they should be removed, not preserved and expanded intheir own separate article like you are trying to do with the absurdly named Beelzebub in culture (see WP:ENC). Once you have a better handle on how things work here and read up on the topics you are trying to contribute to, I'm sure you may be able to contribute something of value here. Until then, get the chip off your shoulder and stop reverting changes that are simply bringing the article in line with Wikipedia standards. DreamGuy 13:20, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
good grief.....it doesn't even matter what grade you are in or what grades you get. Everyone, get a bit of a clue here. Maturity doesn't come with age, it comes with experience. I am 16, and here i am telling yall, the least you could do is handel this in a more proffessional way. don't just go flamming eachother and bickering like school children. just go and say in a calm, cool, manner that this, this, and this are not up to par and it would be nice if you could change it, and if you want i will help you. for the love of God, we are all old enough to be mature citizens, so start acting like one.

Why did you insert random <nowiki> tags in to this article? --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 20:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Respectfully, deleting 99% of the Baal demon section (and marking it as "minor edit" besides) is inappropriate. They're very related. The Demon originated from the god! How can you say it is not related and just delete it?
I reverted it.
Having no detail on the demon Ba'al in the main Ba'al article is bad for those researching the demon Ba'al because it unfairly cuts these people off from the primary, better source of information on the origins of ba'al. I've taken a lot of time to compile the Ba'al of Carthage article and the demon ba'al article with this article, while preserving all previous information, including on the non-religious Hebrew word ba'al. Please don't delete.

Dear Satanael,
I will modify the PIE pantheon article once again and this time I politely ask you not to revert it to include the following passage. I quote:
There is still some missing evidence for a god of war, also of death and the negative espects of the sun, as well as of any potential wife. Cognating gods in this fashion is: Ares, Hades and Thanatos in Greek mythology; Mars, Mors and Pluto in Roman mythology; Aita in Etruscan mythology; Chernobog in Slavic mythology, Nergal in Mesopotamian mythology; and Mot in Levantine mythology.
This passage should not be included in an encyclopedic article for two reasons:
As you can see, this passage is highly speculative and does not stand up to criticsam very well. The only way to keep it is to quote it from some source and then state it is a hypothessis brought forth by that source. Otherwise, I will modify the article once again and remove it.
Kindest regards - Hier0phant 20:19, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Is this your personal interpretation of the song? If it is, it violates Wikipedia's no original research policy. If it's someone else's interpretation, you really need to cite a source. This article will likely end up on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion as it stands. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up. Reyk 10:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Myth: The word mythology (from the Greek μυϑολογία mythología, from μυϑολογειν mythologein to relate myths, from μυϑος mythos, meaning a narrative, and λογος logos, meaning speech or argument) literally means the (oral) retelling of myths – stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use the supernatural to interpret natural events and to explain the nature of the universe and humanity.
Fiction: Fiction is storytelling of imagined events and stands in contrast to non-fiction, which makes factual claims about reality. A large part of the appeal of fiction is its ability to evoke the entire spectrum of human emotions: to distract our minds, to give us hope in times of despair, to make us laugh, or to let us experience empathy without attachment. Fictional works—novels, stories, fairy tales, fables, films, comics, interactive fiction—may be partly based on factual occurrences but always contain some imaginary content. The term is also often used synonymously with literature and more specifically fictional prose. In this sense, fiction refers only to novels or short stories and is often divided into two categories, popular fiction (e.g., science fiction or mystery fiction) and literary fiction (e.g., Victor Hugo or William Faulkner).
That's pretty much what I meant about it. Don't read to much into it. :) Satanael 21:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
In a Jungian sense, the stories can be said to be mythical, or more accurately, be said to contain mythical content, but that doesn't make it myth(ical) in itself, which is the use I'm objecting against; and its current usage: you mean, it's 'common usage'. The two most common usages of the word "myth" is "A fiction or half-truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology";"A fictitious story, person, or thing: "German artillery superiority on the Western Front was a myth"". Another usage that is fairly common is: "A popular belief or story that has become associated with a person, institution, or occurrence, especially one considered to illustrate a cultural ideal: a star whose fame turned her into a myth; the pioneer myth of suburbia". However, those are thing that are more correctly called "urban legend" or "popular belief". In contrast, the more, etymologically accurate, use of the term that is becoming more frequent in academic circles is: "a story of supernatural events or heroism that is believed to be true by a culture that perceives religious or spiritual significance in it. Recent use of the term by scholars does not imply that the tale is either true or false".
I think a more correct literal variant of the use of the word "mythical" that you postulated(sorry if "postulated" is the wrong word to use), would be epic(al), atleast for the Silmarillion. Satanael 19:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you added a ((POV)) tag to this article. I looked it over and I do think the "ancient" section of the article has a rather anti-Christian slant, but I think the problem could be solved if we just stuck to the facts. Right now, we don't cite any sources at all for that section. I don't have time to work on this right now, but I would certainly appreciate it if you went over there and worked to improve the article... - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 15:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of how gramatically appropriate the title of the article is or was, moving and article to another name is not something that you should just come up out of the blue and do unilaterally. At the very least, it would have been more appropriate to start a discussion about it on the talk page of the article to see if everybody else agreed. Next time, please be a little more considerate.PiccoloNamek 16:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:DevilTrigger001.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use ((GFDL-self)) to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as ((Non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

I have come across multiple pages including demonolatry, satan and others where it appears approval, clean up, and no edit tags have been simply placed at random. At some they do seem to need a clean up but please leave some kind of indication of why you are placing the tag.

After reading the title of the article *DOH*, I can see it from your perspective. Apologies for re-reverting you. That section of the list is useful though, how about we create a new article to include those dogs - i'm not sure what to title it though, how about List of legendary dogs?

Hello Satanael - your username may suggest expertise but it seems you have a history of undiscussed major edits that come very close to vandalism. If you have a problem with an article or section (as in this case Devil#Also_Known_As) please contribute to the discussion first or correct things you know better - do not blank entire sections that have a history and are present in other languages.

You have spent a great deal of energy trying to enforce a single meaning of "mythology" on Wikipedia. Please stop; the English language is not so confined; nor is there consensus on the matter within comparative mythology.
It is also useful, when making controversial edits in this style, to state your authority; without that, these edits fail the requirement of verifiability. Septentrionalis 15:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
You have recently continued these edits to pages such as J. R. R. Tolkien, please discuss these changes on the discussion page before enacting them. Especially on pages that have been Featured Articles and received various other accolades.

Hi, Satanael. I moved scientific mythology back to the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves because you did not create a place for discussion on the talk page and nobody commented on the current proposal, although a move had been discussed in the past.

Hi there. I noticed this edit you made to the Bulbasaur article. Your edit summary was: "removed redundant section and places the relevant info in the intro. I hope no one objects". Unfortunately, when looking at the diff, the name of the creator of Pokemon has now been left out of the introduction or first few sections completely, and is only mentioned a long way down the article. You also say that you have placed the relevant information in the introduction. In fact, everything in the introduction should be repeated in the main part of the article. The introduction (more properly called the lead section) should be seen as a summary of the article, and something that someone could read on its own, without reading the rest of a long article. Hope that helps. Carcharoth 09:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Cosmology is not the appropriate name for it, regardless of your dislike of the term Artificial Mythlogy. Please read the Artificial mythology section of Wikipedia, part of the Mythology portal and discuss your misgivings there. Until the term Artificial Mythology gets removed from Wikipedia we shall use it for consistency. Do NOT take unilateral decisions this is a group endeavor. Renmiri 23:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Cosmology is a branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of the universe. It is also a branch of astronomy that deals with the origin, structure, and space-time relationships of the universe. That said, it obviously does not belong where you keep placing it. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Satanael, Tudor myth is on my watchlist, and I am a little alarmed that you moved the page without any editor consensus. Looking through your edit history, I am a bit perplexed as to your apparent aversion to the terms "myth" and "mythology" - would you mind explaining this a bit? Thanks, --TurabianNights 01:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Satanael, there was a discussion of the use of the word "myth" on the talk page of Atlantis; your edits are against the consensus that was arrived at. If you're unhappy with the article, please discuss your proposed changes on the Talk:Atlantis talk page; the edit war that you're instigating is unproductive. --Akhilleus (talk) 22:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Satanael, consensus is firmly against your change of "myth" to "story", "tale", or anything else. Please stop making changes to Atlantis until you discuss them on the talk page. --Akhilleus (talk)
If someone reverts your changes, it's usually more productive to discuss things on the article's associated talk page than simply revert back. So why don't you explain what's so objectionable about calling Helen a mythological figure on the talk page? --Akhilleus (talk) 22:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Based on your edits to Helen, Atlantis, and other articles you seem to have a problem with the words "mythology" and "mythological". It's a good idea to spell out that Helen is a mythological figure in the disambig line, since many WP readers aren't familiar with Greek mythology, and even those who have heard of Helen might not know that she is a figure from mythology, not history. The word "legendary", which you put in in one of your edits, implies that there is historical content to her story. I'm putting "mythological figure" back in; if, as you seem to be saying, it merely restates what's obvious from the article, there should be no objection to the text. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Haven't you read Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien#Recent Edits concerning Mythology? At least write something on the talk pages. If you're getting that riled up, there's artificial mythology. Uthanc 19:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I reverted your recent edits to the Jesus article. C.S.Lewis wrote several books on the topic of pagan myhology where the words "pagan mythology" were used. It's best to keep the author's words when we discuss his works.
Also, you switched Mtyh to Ledgend on the discussion of Jesus. Generally speaking the word mythology as it applies to Jesus is the prefered term of scholars who don't believe in the historicity of Jesus, and when we discuss thier theories we tend to use thier terms. Peace. --Homecomputer 16:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I hear ya, I'm just saying myth is the term that is used in such a situation when the historical truth of a figure is being discussed. It's pretty much allready agreed upon in scholarship and thus reflected in the article. It's been that way for a long time, as far back as Lewis, maybe further. Ledgend just isn't used like that. --Homecomputer 05:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Why on Earth would you add a German-language mythology site as an external link to an English language article? Please see the Wikipedia:External links policy on why that is not allowed. I am removing it again. DreamGuy 23:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
You are very intent in regards to what the words myth and mythology mean, and you seem to have a desire to push your personal POV of what is and isn't their correct usage. Please look at any dictionary, for example definitions 2-4 here. We have verifiable sources that these words can be used in these manners. Your personal belief otherwise is not good enough per wikipedia policies to change our usage of these words. Looking through your talk page, it seems as if a large number of your changes have been controversial, including editors at times pointing out that you are ignoring previous discussions and consensus. I understand completely that you believe these words mean only one thing and should only be used in those contexts, but unfortunately for you, that is not how wikipedia works. I urge you to stop editing pages for the sole purpose of changing the words myth/mythology, and to please find more constructive and productive ways to contribute to wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration.--Andrew c 12:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I reverted your edits to Bible, in which you removed a section on arguments against the Documentary hypothesis. I acknowledge the section may be problematic, its sourcing is hard to determine given the general lack of footnote-style sourcing in the article, and it may give too much weight to arguments against (I noticed an absence of arguments in favor). I also acknowledge you are a longstanding editor with many contributions. And I could be persuaded that a simple summary might be a better alternative given that that the Documentary hypothesis has its own article that can be referred to. Nonetheless, controversial content should generally not be removed wholesale. A preferred alternative is )a) point people to the summary and/or (b) Organize controversial content into subsections (e.g. the hypothesis itself, arguments for, arguments against) to prevent arguments against from appearing to overly undermine a simple exposition pf a viewpoint, (c) Ask for sources for content you believe may be incorrect by both making a request on he talk page and using the ((fact)) template in the article itself; provide more content on the opposing side (i.e. provide a section summarizing evidence and arguments in favor of the documentary hypothesis).
I'll attempt to implement a summary pointing to the main article; please discuss on Talk:Bible if you disagree.
There is an article on artificial mythology. As I've already said back on September 15, please take the time to read Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien#Recent Edits concerning Mythology for some responses to your terminology edits (if you still haven't), and to discuss them on article talk pages first. "Larger cycle" skirts the problem nicely though. Uthanc 22:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Film and book series ...sometimes have strong mythological aspects that sometimes develop into deep and intricate philosophical systems. These items are not mythology, but contain mythic themes that, for some people, meet similar psychological needs.
Fiction, however, does not reach the level of actual mythology until people believe that it really happened.
If by "reverted redundant section" you meant the "Lit, music, gaming, etc." headers, you also removed about a dozen cultural references. If that was your intention, then please give a more descriptive reason why the references should be removed. If it's cluttering the page, perhaps it should be separated into it's own page, but being as you added your own. With about 5 references under each, it seems pretty balanced. - A.J. 15:46, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Please stop changing instances of "mythology" to "folklore" within articles such as kitsune and Otogizōshi, unless you can point to multiple reliable sources that show the usage is incorrect. There are numerous sources using "myth," and a unilateral change on the grounds that "I think they're wrong" is POV and original research. Thanks. Shimeru 19:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
It's been almost 3 months since I last spoke with you, and I see you still are editing wikipedia for the sole reason of changing the word "mythology". And looking at your talk page, this still seems to be starting controversy. I urge you again to please find more productive things to do on wikipedia. Please accept that there are multiple meanings to the word "mythology" and that your POV is not the only POV. So please stop pushing it, and refrain from editing articles to change the use of 'myth'. There are many, many other things you could do to help improve wikipedia. Thank you again for your consideration. --Andrew c 23:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Lucifer.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —Remember the dot (t) 04:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't notice any discussion and consensus for your changes to the heavy metal template or Heavy metal music - did I miss something? Editing in good faith is always welcome, but be aware there has been constant discussion about this page and template and any undiscussed changes are highly likely to be reverted. Thanks, Deiz talk 09:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Beelzebub in popular culture, an article you created, was nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case the nominator does not feel that Beelzebub in popular culture satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; the nominator explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beelzebub in popular culture and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Beelzebub in popular culture during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. -- Jreferee 06:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Porcupine Tree. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Kerrow 15:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Beelzebub in popular culture, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Beelzebub in popular culture satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beelzebub in popular culture (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Beelzebub in popular culture during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Thanks for uploading Image:KOS-MOS XS4.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rasta.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 01:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:User religion-N requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>((transclusionless))</noinclude>).

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Aniel, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

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.
