Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Story of Tam and Cam, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Queen. 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.

Hello guys and girls!
I would like the speedy deletion templates Template:db-u1 and Template:db-g7 be changed. The discussion can be found here. If you like the idea I have, you can post a message below to notify me to change it! DSCrowned (talk) 12:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi DSCrowned
How do I make the alterations that I made earlier not be a test and stand?
Last question from John lansing by the way, Thanks
The current version of the article for Tetraethyllead falsely claims that automotive leaded gasoline only permitted 0.1 grams per gallon of lead. The reference cited in support of this 0.1 gram per gallon figure says nothing about the lead content of leaded automotive gasoline at all. In fact, according to the EPA's 1971 Federal Register notice announcing its intent to begin phasing out lead in gasoline, leaded automotive gasoline contained an average of 2.5 grams per gallon. I attempted to correct this clear factual inaccuracy and added a citation to the relevant Federal Register notice containing the correct value.
In addition to the Federal Register notice I cited, the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health article currently listed as reference 11 in the article lays out the history of the U.S. leaded gasoline phaseout on page 394. It states that "By 1985, 40% of all gasoline sold was still leaded, but in July of that year, the refinery pool standard of 1.1 grams per gallon dropped to 0.5, then dropped further to 0.1 grams per gallon on January 1, 1986. Over all, the 1986 standard represented a drop of more than 98% in the lead content of U.S. gasoline from 1970 to 1986." In other words, the 0.1 grams per gallon figure stated in the current article was not a limit on the lead in leaded gasoline. Rather it was a "refinery pool standard." an average of the lead content across all fuel sold by a refinery, averaging both the leaded and unleaded fuel. Refineries did not meet this limit by selling leaded fuel with only 0.1 gram of lead (which would have been pointless from an anti-knock standpoint). Rather, they met the limit by increasing the amount of unleaded gas they sold and decreasing the amount of leaded gas they sold.
The claim that leaded automotive gasoline contained only 0.1 grams per gallon of lead or that 100LL avgas contains "far more" lead than leaded automotive gasoline is unsourced, based upon an apparent misreading of sources such as the IJOEH article, and false. If the Tetraethyllead article is going to compare avgas lead levels with leaded automotive gas levels, it should do so accurately. That was the purpose of my edit.
You reversed this edit "because it did not appear constructive." Needless to say, I disagree. Replacing falsehoods with accurate and authoritatively sourced facts seems to me like the most valuable and constructive thing that an editor can do. But perhaps my edit was somehow confusing. Can you provide some guidance as to how I can make an edit that fixes this factual inaccuracy, but will not be reversed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ranapier (talk • contribs) 07:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

I've semi'd your user page, based on your request earlier at RPPP. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:20, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
I've copied your redesign efforts to User:DSCrowned/Main Page sandbox - please use that, not the main Main Page sandbox for your redesign experiments. Thanks. The idea is that if I need to tweak something on the main page, as I have done on a couple of occasions, I can use the Main Page sandbox for that, without worrying whether the sandbox has been used for someone's redesign/experimental purposes and so contains unapproved modifications that might accidentally get copied across to the main page.

Hello, this is just to let you know that I've granted you Rollback rights. Just remember:
HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:57, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, I asked myself that too. I think it's because you created the page with the original CSD notice about the page User:FashionFiles. -- Rrburke (talk) 21:30, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the help in catching the vandalism on my user page! Cheers to Davidthegreat987654321 being blocked! Can't stand vandals. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 05:05, 11 November 2014 (UTC) |
You posted a serious accusation at the admin noticeboard (permalink) but I have not seen any acknowledgment about the direction the discussion has taken. Have you read it? Johnuniq (talk) 03:23, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Namaste! I'm suffering edits war for the pages Pokhara and Biratnagar from Anynomous. I have fixed the facts acording to the 2011 census data. Feel free to verify the data according to the latest CBS of Nepal.
I request you to prevent edits on those pages.
Thank you. Rabins Sharma Lamichhane (talk) 08:17, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you're on Wikipedia:List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked or topic banned in the past three years - or have a good explanation for a recent block or ban, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you or suggest what you can do to improve your chances. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:29, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Better to focus that attention on Domestic rabbit#As pets, to which I'm merging all that stuff. This detailia about a variety of one species of rabbit in the context of pet-keeping is totally out of place at Rabbit, the general article on the entire family as various genera and species of [largely wild] animals. My cleanup on the pet-related material at that article was just in preparation for merging, which I've done already (from that article, anyway; I also merged some pet-related trivia in from European rabbit, and have another article or two to look at for additional WP:CONTENTFORK cleanup of pet material). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 11:17, 3 October 2015 (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.

In August, you tagged Open border as too much like a POV essay. I've done quite a few edits to it and wonder if you would care to revisit and decide whether the tag is still merited. [I can see that it still needs more citations but I guess that it is now no worse than average]. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:13, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi I did not see the comment on the Autoimmune Disease list proposing that it be separated until today. I think it makes sense. I am not a Wikipedia expert, so I would be happy to do the work necessary if you can provide some guidance. I am not sure the best way to communicate - is it posting here (and you on my Talk page?). Thanks! Aaron Abend (talk) 17:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

before your main message on other talk pages so I am better informed and directed to your question. You do not have to inform me on my talk page if you place the above if you reply.
