[1] Yes, this one was a mistake - unsourced negative BLP information; I'm about to suppress it. You do lots of good work; however, really take your time when reverting section blanking because this is how non-Wikipedians deal with BLP problems. Thanks! Risker (talk) 01:48, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
On 4 May 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article One World Trade Center, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that One World Trade Center (pictured), at 1,776 feet (541 m) tall, is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/One World Trade Center. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi, eg, just wondering what better way to describe that the claim that crowdy's hair suddenly went white should require a citation, considering it is intended to be biographical and factual, i can find no actual info that supports this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.3.38 (talk) 18:22, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
The changes I made to Poincare Conjecture are highly important in terms of understanding social network topology. The article I mentioned is extremely important on this topic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patricia kubrik (talk • contribs) 16:18, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Please give your idea to rewrite about death toll in Hakuba, Nagano. I think it's important information. There was one more fatal accident on 2nd of May. Balmysky (talk) 13:20, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello! I'm sorry if I did wrong when editing your Eivør related text here on Wikipedia. The thing is, it's just not very accurate and would need a little expanding, too. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lefaskoo (talk • contribs) 16:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey there Epic Genuis,
I think you just mistakenly deleted by link post (to learnerds.com) on the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam page. Here is my original edit before your deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fundamentals_of_Engineering_exam&oldid=608227205
To explain, I added this site because it directly relates to the FE Exam by helping people learn about and prepare for the FE exam...
Also they are a FREE site --- Let me explain: Though they may charge for upgraded services (like email subscriptions), they offer all of their content for free online. Hence anyone can visit the site anytime and use the content completely for free online. And thats why I loved them and thought they'd be a useful resource to others... All the content is searchable, and completely open / free for anyone to use anytime they visit the site.
I understand you do this for the good of the community. But please kindly undo you edit... Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.87.184.176 (talk) 17:03, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Epic. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I have contacted you because other than myself and the user whose edit I a contesting, you are one of the last 5 registered editors to edit the article Australian Marriage Equality.

hey treyarch didnt make mw3 mw2 or ghosts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.77.138.146 (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
I was reading the above referenced page and noticed several errors and omissions relating to the articles. In many of the correct entries my work (Omega in the Decades & Omega Men of Distinction) was used as reference.
I am attempting to correct the errors and add relevant information. Perhaps I am not using the correct method. Please advise.
Thank You ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qsighcab (talk • contribs) 02:13, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
The one you warned could also have been reported as a username violation. But since I saw him it would have been a waste of time as I've blocked both idiots. Dougweller (talk) 14:35, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I corrected an error in the entry for tennis player Tommy Haas today and you have cancelled this correction. This is the message I received:
Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Epicgenius (talk) 16:35, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
I would like to clarify that it is not a question of improving the article but correcting it. Tommy Haas is not sponsored by Nike for apparel. He is sponsored by Ellesse.
Please correct the article as per my amends.

Thank you for sharing your opinion that you felt the Korean Martial Arts page was better without my edit and deleted my contribution. Kindly provide references supporting the Japanese origin of martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do. This is a sensitive topic and should be historically contextualized.
In the meantime, please refrain from deleting or modifying my contributions. I have carefully and thoughtfully edited the article as well as cited a reference in order to provide a neutral tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohmfamily (talk • contribs) 01:33, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

TomThePerson (talk) 13:05, 20 May 2014 (UTC) I read your terms and conditions page. I feel that my edit did not violate your rules. However, I am new and I am not accustomed to the culture here. Could you please tell me why it was reverted? Thank you for your time.

Please refer to http://www.bronxhistoricalsociety.org/bxbrief I am from The Bronx and it is not the Bronx. It is The Bronx no matter if it is in the middle or the end of a sentence. Also see http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/bronx-residents-feeling-capital-article-1.1799794 and http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/09/realestate/l-why-the-bronx-865793.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.253.240.219 (talk) 19:37, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Anyway, how the Bronx Historical Society (or The Bronx Historical Society, if you wish) capitalizes "The Bronx" is different than how Wikipedia capitalizes "the Bronx" (which, in a vast number of cases, is "the Bronx" if it's the middle of the sentence).
Also, in the cases you just mentioned, it is spelled with a lowercase "t" in the Vatican, but The Hague is different, as "The" is actually considered a proper noun in the name.
Coming back to the Bronx (not literally), most sources state the Bronx as just that—"the Bronx" in the middle of the sentence, and "The Bronx" at the beginning, complying with standard grammar rules. Epicgenius (talk) 20:47, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.
Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>
. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) 22:16, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
I doubt User:Hannah Undel is welcome on Wikipedia: it may be a sockpuppet of the banned user Pumpie because of WP:DUCK- evidence so far shows that the user is not new because it knows how to create "s-line" related templates... on the first day. --Marianian(talk) 15:47, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited BMT Sea Beach Line, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Station house (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi! I saw that you had contributed to the article on Belly Dance. I have created an article “Glossary of Belly Dance Terms” because many of my dance students have been asking for it. I am new to Wikipedia and I was hoping that you would be able to help out by contributing or helping with formatting (I need that!) or adding citations. Thanks!

Hey, just asking why you reverted the page. I tried talking with anyone on the talk page about the imho blatant advertisment and filler words, but I got no answers to my questions. I then edited the page. Could you explain why you changed it back? - Particularly things like "maintained its rich, creamy texture with the addition of fiber, something American consumers are told to eat more of". 195.234.12.105 (talk) 12:21, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

What were you referring to with the reference named ‘nhlsum’ (currently ref #39) on Manhattan? You never defined it. Esszet (talk) 23:54, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
"A Guardian investigation into private colleges has uncovered allegations of lax admissions policies, chaotic timetabling and violence in the classroom at Britain's largest chain of for-profit colleges, the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF). A former lecturer with the group alleges that the fast growth of the company's student body brought in tuition fees, but standards were allowed to slip. LSBF denies these allegations. The investigation shows how agents working on commission were tasked with recruiting students from the streets – often outside job centres" - video at [3]. Dougweller (talk) 09:15, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Epicgenius: From your previous useful edits on Macbeth, I thought you might glance at Romeo and Juliet. I have found a book by Harold Bloom which indicates that Pepys was not the first critic or commentator of the play which is misstated on the Wikipage there. Prof Bloom believes that the play was adapted from an earlier version of the play by another author and therefor believes that comments and criticism of the earlier play should also be included. Another editor there seems to disagree although he/she has no citations. Prof Bloom is very clear that Samuel Pepys is predated by examples of two other commentators and critics whom he identifies. Could you glance at this on the Edit History page there? FelixRosch (talk) 19:45, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
A refimprove tag was put on Yamuna in Hinduism in March 2014 by you. I am removing the tag. Every sentence/para has a ref. Please comment on the talk how the ref need to be improved. Why some ref not RS according to you? etc.--Redtigerxyz Talk 06:20, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
