Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 19:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

All good questions.

Hello, those were all good questions, let's see if I can answer them.

• What is your role? What are your magic powers?

There is only one main role. It's called "Wikipedian" (aka "editor"). You and I are Wikipedians. Some Wikipedians are also administrators, but you don't need to be an administrator to have a huge positive affect on Wikipedia. I am not an administrator even though I've been doing this pretty regularly. Almost all problems can be fixed without the need of an administrator.

• Do you have an assigned area of topics/interests?

Nope. I pretty much take myself wherever I feel like going. There is a constant stream of information coming into Wikipedia (Special:Recentchanges, Special:Newpages, and Special:Watchlist are common). Most editors just go wherever they feel like, but some editors join a Wikiproject (WP:PROJ). I have not ever joined any Wikiprojects, but I may some day. Or maybe not :)

• When and how did I show up on your radar so you could observe and help me? Was it when I entered your "airspace" by working on the Sneakers article?

Well, I really liked the Sneakers movie so when I was on the Sneakers page, I added the page to my watchlist (you should see a "watch" tab at the top of most pages). A watchlist is a long list of pages that I am interested in. Whenever I go to my watchlist it tells me the recent changes made to the list of pages that I have interest in. See Help:Watchlist for help on watchlists.

Keep up the good work! ~a (user • talk • contribs) 03:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Adam Carolla!

Just wanted to thank you for your work on the Adam Carolla article. -- Craigtalbert 07:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know it's appreciated, Craig. Just like the fact that in space no one can hear you scream, sometimes it seems that on the Internet no one can hear you do good work! It's great to hear appreciation from another person. -- ManfrenjenStJohn 08:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Inside Man

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 03:33, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I'm a repeat offender on this one. Thanks for the reminder. I guess my confession on my last edit summary didn't persuade against the slap on the wrist! That's OK, I deserve it. :) -- ManfrenjenStJohn 04:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Heh, that's okay. Your edits were quite good; that page needed (and still does, to some extent) a good cleanup. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 05:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The Adam Carolla Show

My bad - fixed the template on the talk page - I'm not sure of the "class", but if you leave it empty, that usually gets someone from that project to look at it and see how it fits into that project's categories.

Categories - if you check out the article (not the talk page) - I've added several categories (they go on the main page and not the talk page). Usually if you go the the project's home page Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio you'll see a link to templates Templates - and then it's just a process of search & hope you find the right thing :) SkierRMH 09:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Please help with Abby Singer film listing

Please help with the Abby Singer (film) page and listing. I have tryed to make good edits. I am new to Wikipedia. VegitaU said that this movie may not be notable enough to stay on Wikipedia? I believe that it is. Also he has posted a notice that the film title maybe deleted. Please Help with this. Also please see Talk:Abby Singer (film) to see the some reasons that this film should be listed on Wikipedia.CamdawgUGA 06:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Relevance proposal

Hi. I notice you have cited the Relevance proposal in the past (now relocated to Wikipedia:Relevance of content). If you feel the proposal is of value, I would like to ask for your assistance in shaping it and building support for it as a fully-fledged guideline. Many thanks.--Father Goose 03:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for the invitation. I'm getting a lot of good experience, but I don't know if I'm ready for work on a policy yet. Though your encouragement makes me think I might be up to it. If I don't get back to you on it, please don't take offense -- I'm either on "vacation" from Wikipedia (I get addicted and have to stop sometimes!) or I'm just too bashful at this point to work on policy. But I'm psyched by your encouragement. I will certainly think about it, whenever Wikip is on my mind! -- ManfrenjenStJohn 10:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Nah, it doesn't take anything. If you feel it would be good to have it as a guideline, all you have to do is stand up for it. If you want to participate more actively, give it a good looking-over, and if you feel it could be improved in any way -- perhaps parts of it are unclear or incomplete -- then offer your thoughts on the talk page. Every little bit helps! Thanks.--Father Goose 00:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Geddy Lee

The Geddy Lee article received heavy editing today by new/unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 19:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The Adam Carolla Show (terrestrial radio)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of The Adam Carolla Show (terrestrial radio), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: The Adam Carolla Show. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

July 2010

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give The Adam Carolla Show (podcast) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Casino Royale (2006 film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Grand Canal and Jeffrey Wright. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
