A beer for you!

Hi, sorry to contact you like this it's just that i know no other way to get a hold of you. I'm a bit "new" here when it comes down to wiki edits, i'm only doing this for a few months now, and mostly only contributing with minor edits, i know Misplaced Pages has a lot of rules, it's really hard to learn and memorize all of them, especially the "bbcodes" rules. I'm no vandal or anything like that, i'm just trying to show my appreciation to Misplaced Pages by trying to expand some of its articles that i know a thing or two about, i know i still have allot of learning to do, but i can just hope i'm contributing more to the community then hurting it. Sincere respect for the position you occupy on this site and the patience you have for giving a helping hand to new guys like me. Rain 1911 (talk) 20:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Why did you remove the Linkrot tag from Asterisk (PBX) please? The tag is there for a reason, for someone to fix the problem. Thanks --JetBlast (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I ran Asterisk (PBX) through the reflinks tool and it looked like it applied templates to all the bare URLs. Which references do you see that are still bare URLs? RJFJR (talk) 14:00, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Charles Hiram Burnett, Jr.

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Charles Hiram Burnett, Jr., and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikibin.org/articles/charles-hiram-burnett-jr.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

VisualEditor

Hey RJFJR :). It looks like with this edit you accidentally removed the infobox too; this is quite possibly a bug with the new editor. After you'd removed the cleanup template, did the infobox still appear before you hit 'save', and then get lost? Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

That's okay! If you see it happen again, can you try and take a screenshot so we can work out what's going on? Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

If you move it to a subpage of your userpage instead of your user talk page, you should be able to use the VE there. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Aha! Okay, glad we worked that out. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

2nd Annual Wikimedia New England General Meeting

You welcomed a new user

Hi. I see you welcomed new user Nicolodeonicx. I don't know if people who welcome new users follow them up? This user is, so far, problematic; please see his/her talk page. Thank you, --Hordaland (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I just went through the user's many contributions of the last couple of days. S/he has made a great many errors, changing a correct preposition to a wrong one, changing verb tenses incorrectly, adding "the" where it doesn't belong, etc. I think that English must not be her/his mother tongue. I've fixed the errors, but may not spend much more time on this user. S/he will do a lot of damage if this keeps up. --Hordaland (talk) 03:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

(User_talk:Nicolodeonicx)

Help, please?

I am looking for an WP-experienced editor/admin to help me with a problem related to changes I made on the Federal Assault Weapons Ban article. From reading old talk pages, I see you've helped before and I hope you can help me!

My changes were to: replace three occurrences of the term "cosmetic features" with one "some features" and one "features"; remove POV word "mere"; replace "extract" with "eject"; replace vague "former U.S. law" with its common name; and tighten up two redundancies.)

When I made the changes, another user undid them. I undid his "undo," which he then re-did. At that point I decided not to undo again, because obviously this was going nowhere - and I found a message he'd left on my talk page. After reading his message, I replied that I would read-up on WP:CONTENTDISPUTE and decide what to do next.

Maybe it was a bad decision, but I decided General advice might not work because nothing about firearms these days seems like "small content issues." I skipped the Third opinion option for the same reason. I chose to Request community input, and wow! It has been a nightmare (for me anyway) ever since. On the talk page section I started, other editors' replies to me seem unfriendly - one even hostile - and there seems to be a general assumption that I am not acting in good faith. (If the page seems choppy, I apologize. I'm not sure I'd ever participated on a talk page before, and I'm pretty sure I'd never started a talk section before.)

Can you please help me? Or do you know a good editor who can? If not, please let me know, and I will go back to step one and seek general advice.

Thanks you... sincerely, Lightbreather (talk) 21:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
