Revert
WOW. You guys are so fast! I am amazed at how fast you reverted me. It was like almost instant. By the way, can you please rvert the small vandalism I did on the page "Prime Minister of AUstralia". IO added a few letters in random places. Good job! 174.7.19.170 (talk) 03:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
A series of 0s and 1s have been sent via electrical signals and radio waves, to a remote server identified as "Gmail", which has directed the information to your share of the server.
It's so fun when someone asks for a descriptive title.
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
Jennifer LeRoy AFD
I do not think the non-admin closing here was appropriate. The AFD (indeed, the entire set of related AFDs) was certainly controversial and contested, and similar discussions were admin-closed as redirects. Only one of the many other discussions in the set appears to have been closed as "no consensus" so far, with a more detailed closing statement. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
RfPP
Please don't flood RfPP with requests for PC removal. Technically, they should be taken up with the admin who added it, but I believe there are at least two admins actively removing it from articles where there would be no detriment in removing it. Unless there's some reason that specific articles really need to be protected or unprotected, there's no rush. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- My bad. :( Baseball Watcher 00:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
About your relist at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fair Dinkum Histories - it would have been more appropriate to just do a no consensus close with WP:NPASR implied or explicitly stated. The relisting policy states that "debates should not be relisted more than twice" without an accompanying rationale for relisting, and even then that would be rare. Just a pointer for the future. Thanks! Logan Talk Contributions 01:00, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't suppose it will come as any great surprise to you that I strongly disagree with your decision to close this as a keeper. If you go by counting heads, yes a majority said keep. If you go by logic, reason, and Wikipedia policy I think it's fairly clear that this article utterly fails some of our most basic requirements, specifically WP:V. Any chance of reconsidering? Beeblebrox (talk) 22:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Wait, actually you can't reconsider since you are not an admin. Please re-open the AFD and allow someone who is able to close it with a different result make the determination. NAC closes are for obvious cases only. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Looks like while I was writing that you reversed the close. Thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Extra Credit cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Extra Credit cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:18, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lennert van Dessel is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Dead people
I notice on a recent edit to Franz Krieger, you added both Category:1993 deaths and Category:Dead people. This is both unnecessary – Category:1993 deaths is a subcategory of Category:Dead people, so there is no need to add both tags – and incorrect – Category:Dead people is a container category and should not contain any articles directly. The correct thing would have been to add only Category:1993 deaths. —Paul A (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

PVC Pipe Association Page Removal
Dear Baseball Watcher,
I am writing to you in response to the comment that the article that I posted (PVC Pipe Association) was copyright infringement. I have tried two different version, neither of which use the same wording that is contained on the Uni-Bell website. (www.uni-bell.org), though I have been told twice that I am violating copyright. I received the following message from you...
This article appears to be taken from http://www.uni-bell.org/about.html. We cannot accept copyrighted content taken from web sites or printed sources. Note that copyright protection is granted to all works automatically, whether it is asserted or not. Unless stated otherwise, assume that most content on the internet is copyrighted and not suitable for Wikipedia. Please write in your own words, and in continuous prose.
What can I post about the PVC Pipe Association? I use the website as a source, because it is the best place to refer someone to if they want more information.
Thanks,

- See WP:RD2 and WP:Revision deletion. Baseball Watcher 19:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Confuzzled. No, I know about those. What I got (and get) from the page your link goes to was/is a title "Permissions errors", and the text
"You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been cancelled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."
And I hadn't even tried to do anything... That's what I'd never seen before. When I go into the history, I can get to the page, which seems to be very busy and I can't work out without examining every edit what's amiss. It's been a hard week (two weeks - I learned more about MS Word 2003 last week than I really want to know...). Sorry I'm not being of much help. Peridon (talk) 18:49, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Please Respond....
Hi,
I wrote you a message on your talk page last week and have been checking every day to see if you had responded and now I see that it has been deleted. I thought this was the place to kindly ask you why you had deleted information we had entered...
Can you please respond to this and tell me why my article, PVC Pipe Association was deleted in the first place? It was as nuetral as physically possible.
