John McLean

I disambiguated the hockey coach on the page you noted and added him to the John McLean DAB page. If you'd like to create an article on the coach, you can click on the red-link I created. PedanticallySpeaking 17:18, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

ISCA, Andy MacPhail and others

hi Stmoose, nice to see someone else from ISCABBS on here! My nick there was 'The Balrog' many years ago.

I've wikified some of your recent additions; Andy MacPhail,Graeme Lloyd and HOD Eller and been adding them to the special births category so they show up in the listings of whichever year they were born in, using something like:

[[Category:1954 births|Baggins, Fred]] [[Category:1991 deaths|Baggins, Fred]]

I hope this helps! Kenguest 02:48, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Regarding the articles you're creating.

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! Just a comment: Please put dates in brackets like this: [[April 5]], [[1979]], which will produce: April 5, 1979. Again, thanks for your work on NFL player articles, and I hope you can help us in our quest to create the ultimate encyclopedia! Ral 315 05:39, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Amer. football players

It's great you're adding so many that deserve articles, especially the Pro Bowlers. I don't recognize all the players you've added, but certainly Wheatley, Sistrunk, Pastorini, Ken Houston, and Calvin Hill should have had articles long ago. McGwire I recognized, but am not very impressed with, mostly because I've lived in Seattle most of my life, but I didn't realize he was related to BB's Mark until I read your contribution.

Vandalproof

Thank you for experimenting with the page Paul of Tarsus on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Williamborg (Bill) 03:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC) [reply]
Sorry! VandalProof apparently gets confused when we both simultaneously hit revert and it reverts the most recent change. I've corrected the article manually. Williamborg (Bill) 03:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting—not a timing problem since we were hours apart. I'll have to see if I can figure out why I didn't see your prior reversion. Apologies for any inconvenience. Williamborg (Bill) 03:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Shibe

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Ben Shibe, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Ben Shibe. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Little context in Luis Quiñones

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Luis Quiñones, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Luis Quiñones is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Luis Quiñones, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Luis Quiñones itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

George Richardson (Negro League officer)

what is a negro league officer, and can you help explain it on that article? Kingturtle (talk) 17:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

George Richardson (Negro League officer)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article George Richardson (Negro League officer), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of George Richardson (Negro League officer).

Hello Stmoose! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 24 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your article on Camilo Pascual

The article is written in the future tense (which is somewhat annoying in itself) but the last paragraph was written in the past tense, making it inconsistent with the rest of the article. Fvgomez2 (talk) 13:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
