San Francisco meetup at WMF headquarters

Hi Gamer9832,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

Disambiguation link notification for March 14

Hi. When you recently edited Silicon Valley BART extension, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page VTA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Re:Democrats

It's a fundamental misunderstanding to say the Democrats are centrist and center-left because center-left encompasses parties that have both centrist and left-wing elements. The Democrats have centrists - the Blue Dogs are a good example even though they are rapidly declining in power - and they have left wingers such as the Congressional Progressive Caucus. They are therefore, as a whole, center-left. Center left is an accurate description of the party as a whole and is supported by three scholarly journals. Toa Nidhiki05 00:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

That's pure original research. Did you read anything I said? Three scholarly sources confirm center-left. The party is progressive and socially liberal as a whole, two of the three major center-left positions (social democracy is the other). Center to center-left is a non-existent position and is an oxymoron. Center-left acknowlages both left-wing and centrist party elements. Toa Nidhiki05 00:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Template:Microsoft Windows family

Hello, Gamer9832

I wanted discuss your recent edit in Template:Microsoft Windows family. Frankly, the only criteria for inclusion of an article in a navbox is that (1) it exists and (2) it is relevant. So, please do not removes links to the articles because you do not like them. If you have anything to say, please consider visiting Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Windows 9.

Best regards,

Disambiguation link notification for November 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Windows Phone 8, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NFC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

May 2013

Your recent editing history at Windows Phone 8 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Jasper Deng (talk) 16:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:America's Got Talent Seasons 1-2 logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:America's Got Talent Seasons 1-2 logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Windows Phone 8, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Exchange (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi. Allow me to replace these automated messages (which I didn't really send in spite of my sig being appended): You say you've found it on Office.com. That's not a source. It is like saying "I found it on planet Earth." Both are equally vast and therefore can possibly be weasel words to avoid giving an actual source.

If you indeed found it somewhere on the Office.com, we need a link to a page on which this item appear AND a direct link to the file itself. But then again, why did you use {{Microsoft screenshot}}? If you found the images on Office.com, then this tag does not apply.
