Hi there. You can recreate the page if you can prove that this is a notable guy according to our standards. But I strongly suggest you first carefully read and understand Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. The article was deleted initially because it didn't have any reliable secondary sources about this guy. If you have any further questions about it, you can contact me at any time and I'll get back to you quicker than I did this time.

Oh, and I'm an administrator, so I can delete pages, and only administrators can see the histories of deleted pages. Grandmasterka 07:09, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

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) 19:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Adam and Eve. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thanks for the reminder - I've made the change and this time included an edit summary. Almufasa (talk) 13:50, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Please read WP:LEAD though - the summary should include everything in the main body of the article, so it shouldn't be removed. SmartSE (talk) 14:03, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

OK I'm not sure that the summary in this article does include everything in the main body of the article and I can't find where in WP:LEAD it says that. However, I can see that the summary should summarize the most important points so I can see why this para should remain Almufasa (talk) 14:14, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Seth with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bmusician 14:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, happy to discuss, I thought this was a simple correction of tense to fit with the general past tense of the article. How can that be construed as vandalism? Please explain, thanks Almufasa (talk) 14:14, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, that was a mistake... --Bmusician 01:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

ok thanks - no probs Almufasa (talk) 13:54, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. When you recently edited Trask, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East of Eden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

OK that's sorted now Almufasa (talk) 20:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
