A tag has been placed on Acanthocardia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template ((hangon))
to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 172.166.92.143 14:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Please don't introduce errors into articles, as you have done here.[1] These things can take a long time to catch. Raymond Arritt 15:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Maybe I'm being stupid (it happens quite often) but isn't 33 °C equal to 91.4°F, not 59.4 °F? I didn't do it to be malicious! Just before that in the article it says "15 °C [equals] (288 K or 59 °F)". They can't both be right can they?
Wait, I understand now, I was being dumb. Sorry! I'll be more careful in future.
Hi, PhilMacD. fyi, I have reverted your recent edit to Sarcina (disambiguation) because of concerns with the disambiguation manual of style.
Thanks for all of your hard work. Happy continued editing and best wishes. Gwguffey (talk) 18:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

THanks for catching that recent incorrect edit. Its a very common misstatement in the text books that only 4 species infect humans. The running total currently exceeds 210 species - not 125 given in that edit. DrMicro —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.121.108 (talk) 18:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for the feedback. The info I got was from the book "Clinical Microbiology made Ridiculously Simple", 4th edition. Unfortunately I dont know the proper format for references, nor do I know how to put references into wikipedia. Any help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabronimus (talk • contribs) 12:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't have the time or knowledge to do so, but T. microti needs to be reverted back to Babesia microti. For reasoning, please see the following article that was written after an extensive review of the classification: K.-P. Hunfeld et al. / International Journal for Parasitology 38 (2008) 1219–1237
Hi, thanks for your help editing Rwandan Genocide. Just to say, it'd have been almost as easy to get a reference from the articles about the film, as it would to put a fact tag to the article, especially when the statement is very well referenced in other parts of wikipedia. It keeps the articles less messy, and of course, better referenced. Thanks. --PhilMacD (talk) 20:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
I did not have the time.... I am not sure why you leave this message on the talk page of the original contributor Elonka, who did not add a reference to her contribution. Its her not me who has created work for you. I don’t know anything about Hotel Rwanda, hence it would have taken me a good time to find a reference. I find your approach puzzling... why don’t you rant on the talk page of editors who add unreferenced content, instead of hustling me. --SasiSasi (talk) 20:51, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I also didn't mean to come across as impolite. I just didn't think that necessarily required a ref because it had one elsewhere. But I'm sorry, you weren't to know. Have a nice day my dear!--PhilMacD (talk) 21:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
all content in an article needs to be referenced, even if its referenced in another wikipedia article (which I had to come to terms with after I had to post-reference half an article - ta admin). Usually the original editors add the reference after they return to the article and find the fact tag on their contribution, takes a couple of days. If I have some time I leave a polite message on the original contributor's talk page encouraging them to add refs to their contributions... but I absolutely do not intend to reference after people, I rather spend the time researching my own contributions.--SasiSasi (talk) 21:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the update and refs on the River Rheidol article. I should have known better as an ex Environment Agency water quality scientist....ho hum ! Velela (talk) 15:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I note that you have made some substantive contributions to the Babesia article. This page has been heavily edited by a temporary account (‘Nmunabi’) who apparently has knowledge of the subject. (I am not an expert in this area.) Yet he/she destroyed all the wikilinks and all the inline references. I don’t understand why. I reconstructed the references before realizing quite what had happened. So my question to you is, were this guy’s edits useful, or vandalism? What was he up to?
Appreciate your insight at the article talk page. Earthlyreason (talk) 17:27, 7 March 2009

I reverted your edit, as the figures you changed were correct. A Conservative resigned and was replaced by another Conservative. Moonraker2 (talk) 17:27, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Good afternoon. On the Duncan Hames article, I noticed you removed his religion stating the AtheismUK reference was unreliable. It seems legit to me. Could you explain? Thanks. PhilMacD (talk) 12:33, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Open Awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Eeekster (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
On 3 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hero shrew, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite weighing just 4.0 ounces (110 g), the hero shrew can support a 160-pound (73 kg) human on its back without injury? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hero shrew. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I'm not really sure how Wiki works. So, I'm posting my response to the message you sent me regarding my addition to the Venus of Hohle Fels here:
Hi Berlant,
Regarding your edit to the Venus of Hohle Fels, I find the sentence "Venus figurines were sculpted to personify the developmental stages of mushrooms as the mushrooms' mothers" difficult to understand. Could you simplify it?
I'm also worried that publication in Anistor may still count as original research. Are there any third-party sources to back up the mushroom link?
Thanks PhilMacD (talk) 14:59, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gautama Buddha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Geographic (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.

Hello
Thank you for your assistance concerning the Utopia article, but the term "oligarchs" is wrongly applied in that context. In fact, Plato loathed the oligarchy in a very sound manner throughout his Republic, so it would be quite stupid of him to propose an oligarchical society in the same work. I may send you the paragraphs where he criticizes the oligarchical cultures. What he proposes is an aristocracy (government of the virtue), which is another kind of community, or a kingdom (that's why he is known for the idea of the philosopher king, not the idea of philosopher oligarch).
My alteration on the article was not vandalism, your assumption was a little snobbish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melfra2 (talk • contribs) 21:43, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
The information was removed as Wikipedia is not a commentary on votes or individual bills. The notable information on who voted what way on specific legislation only goes on the page relating to the Legislation as WIkipedia is not a collection of voting information and does not give single pieces of legislation or single "scores" from pressure groups such as stonewall undue prominence. Also the LD voting record on Tuition Fees is POV as it was only added to LD MPs and this was discussed when it was originally added as i found today when researching if this had been discussed before, The discussion can be found | here. So i stand by the removal and reversion of you reversion as the information is wholly against Encyclopaedic standards and does not belong on Wikipedia in the way it has been selectively added.

Earlier, you had made an edit where you had used a link (natgeo) to cite some text. (I found out that YOU have done it using wikiblame, that's why I'm trying to take you into confidence). I've made another edit rendering yours' (?) to improve the Wikipedia:NPOV policy since the cited page discussed more about something (abandoning elderly) which was not the matter of discussion of the wikitext-to-be-cited. In fact, in my opinion, it could've represented a view (alas! if it already did to some in the mean time) which seemed biased which is unwarranted since we are taking about numbers of attendees only (for that, I've added another link).
