Hey thanks for your copyedit! It's definately appreciated! ALKIVAR™ 00:23, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Quoth. On the one hand, thanks for copyediting the article. On the other, it's not a nice feeling if people give me the impression they have to "clean up" after me. In particular, I do wonder if it's such a good idea (a) to use that phrase and (b) to have readers jump from her death date (which now appears to be exact) to a single footnote and then back to somewhere in the middle of the text. And I do remember the days when I wrote "Bibliography" and it was changed to "Further reading". Anyway, keep up the good work, and all the best, <KF> 16:41, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I wondered if you have a specific reason for replacing "–" with the simple ASCII hyphen, in date ranges (I noticed the single change in John Wilkes). Using a hyphen or a double hyphen is a common simplification on typewriters, but all browsers can render the n-dash and m-dash, and we should strive for correct typography. In this case, n-dash is specifically the right choice for indicating a range. You can find this all written up in the style guides, and precedent passim, unless there has been a recent consensus I've missed. So I'm taking the liberty of reverting that one change, at least. Nonethless, I encourage your passion for detailed cleanup; I indulge it myself. Please don't stop. David Brooks 04:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
In your "edit" of the Black Dahlia entry, you changed the street name Normandie (correct) to Normandy (wrong). This street name is very well-known to most people as in the "flash-point of the L.A. riots at Florence and Normandie." You also changed the name Lillian Lenorak to Lillian DeNorak. "Edits" such as yours are one reason I no longer contribute to Wiki, although I do point out the more egregious errors. Please repair your damage. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.54.183 (talk)
Hello, I'm here regarding the removal of the "citations needed" annotation from the Royce Da 5'9" article. I added that to the sentence "Royce ... is better known for his freestyling skills — purportedly having never lost a rap battle" as Wikipedia is striving to to be a source of reliable information, and any reliable source needs references. We can't simply add a statement or opinion without citing the original source. Wikipedia:Citing sources states: "Providing sources for edits is mandated by Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability, which are policy. This means that any material that is challenged and has no source may be removed by any editor." Instead of removing such a statement though, I decided it would be better to leave it there, but also warn that it doesn't have a known source and ask people to come up with one instead.
Regarding the other change of [[studio album]]s to [[studio album|studio albums]], in case you weren't aware of this syntactic voodoo, the first link works exactly like the second— incorporating the "s" into the link while directing the viewer to the "s"-less article. I had also moved his real name to the beginning of the article as recommended in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Names: "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the birth name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym. Follow this practice even if the article itself is titled with the pseudonym." Having it read "(born Ryan Montgomery on July 5, 1977)" makes it sound like he was born with that name but that it is no longer the case (and is in fact exactly what that space in the parentheses is reserved for, see Bill Clinton as an example).
For the above reasons I've partially reverted your last edit. If you'd like to see these guidelines changed, please do post in the relevant discussion area, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies). Happy editing, and thanks for contributing! – Quoth 06:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Why is a how-to unencyclopedic? People come to wikipedia for all sorts of information. Why can't how-to's be part of that? If a specific comment about the Underdogs' patch is made, that it is bad, isn't it our responsibility to tell them of a fix for the problem? At the very least, there should be a note that says "One fix to the problem can be found <here>" This information needs to be disseminated. Do you just edit for editing's sake?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 22samurai (talk • contribs) 02:48, 27 October 2006
Thank you for responding in a professional way even when I didn't exactly extend you the same courtesy. As you've noticed from my blog, I learned a lot from this experience and understand you to be holding up the standards of Wikipedia. I was excited that I had solved a problem that was so bothersome and prevalent that a comment about it had actually made its way into the Wikipedia. I typed first and asked questions later, something, which I hope to do less of in the future. 22samurai 18:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

In "editing" the Black Dahlia entry, you wrongly stated that the case is closed. It's not. Murder cases in the U.S. are never closed. You might check before making such statements, thereby avoiding elementary mistakes.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.52.19 (talk)
I've nominated the article CORPG for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that CORPG satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CORPG. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of CORPG during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.
P.S. I wanted to give you a heads up because you seemed to have done some work on this article, and I wanted to give you a chance to have a look and see if the references can be added that the article needs. If sufficient verification is added, I'll reconsider my recommendation. Thanks! Dugwiki 23:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you were the creator of the article on Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. I'm really interested in learning more about the game, but one thing I can't find anywhere is a listing of system requirements for the game, such as one might find on the box. However, since SH:TA is being sold online, and the game's website doesn't list system requirements, I don't know whether my system can run it, and I could guess that others would be confused as well. Do you know what the requirements are, and whether we could add them to the article? Thanks, Kasreyn 18:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
HipHopDX.com, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that HipHopDX.com 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/HipHopDX.com and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of HipHopDX.com 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. Spellcast 00:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I just added a few quotes to the A Dictionary of Modern English Usage article, and then I noticed you (I think it was you) removed a quote several months ago.
Im a big fan of that book, have been for about 30 years. The book is well-known for its witticims, which are often hilarious and widely quoted. I think many encyclopedias include well-known quotes from books, in order to give a feel for the work.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Deadly∀ssassin(talk) 12:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Quoth. I've nominated Agostino Vespucci, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it as you see fit. If you can add more info to the article, perhaps something not about Mona Lisa, such as his work as assistant to Niccolò Machiavelli or his other surviving letters and manuscripts, it would be great. Thanks. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 19:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
On July 13, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Agostino Vespucci, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it 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. |

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Pasta, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Given the variety of preparations of pasta, the nutritional value obviously varies and you added (well-intentioned) information that is almost certainly false in many if not most cases.

Hi Quoth, the WikiProject Video Games Newsletter is conducting a retrospective survey of some of its oldest members and their thoughts on the development of the project through the years. You were noted as one of the early contributors to this project and we'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. There is a short (16-question) interview posted here and if you got a free moment this weekend to answer some or all of the questions then your answers would be most appreciated. The newsletter goes out April 2, so time is short. Sorry about the short notice! I hope we get a chance to hear from you soon! Thanks in advance, -Thibbs (talk) 03:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Quoth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Quoth~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

Hi Quoth! I'm looking for editors to help with making improvements to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive article and European Market Infrastructure Regulation articles, and I thought these might be topics you're interested in. I see you were one of the editors to most recently edit the stub for this regulation and I hoped you might want to take a look at my proposed updates. They're available here for MiFID and here for EMIR. As a disclosure: I do have a conflict of interest as I'm working on this topic as a paid consultant to the Managed Funds Association and I won't make edits to the live articles. Let me know if you'd be able to look at either of the articles. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 13:52, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello Quoth-22. Your account has been granted the "file mover" user right, either following a request for it or due to a clear need for for the ability to move files. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:File mover for more information on this user right and under what circumstances it is okay to move files. When you move a file please remember to update any links to the new name as well! If you do not want file mover rights anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it.
Your account has also been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Sorry, but the merger of High school into Secondary school, which you supported (per "the above reasons" while in fact no particularly relevant reasons were given above), seems to be particularly ill-judged.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
