I think you should just look at the page so you will see how much vandalism that has built up. thank you. Creeper919 (talk) 00:35, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 139.228.53.35. Your recent edit appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so I removed it for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 139.228.53.35 (talk) 00:32, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Source on vote?

Agreed that Roll Call is not official, but I looked for the release you mentioned from the caucus and found nothing other than numerous references to it being between DeFazio and Grijalva. Never saw Holt's name in the mix (especially since he is running for Senate), so I reverted to the previous revision. Can you point me to the link? --Esprqii (talk) 20:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Senate Appropriations Committee

I see your intention, and it makes sense, though the original text did not indicate that you were aiming to contrast the Senate Appropriations Committee with the House counterpart - and, truthfully, such a comparison seems a bit tangential. Erru il 1988 (talk) 22:10, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Your speedy deletion claim is blatantly false. ViperSnake151  Talk  00:41, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

page protection requests

We went through a very long list of your requests at RFPP today, and I'm sorry to tell you that none of them were necessary.

I also read some of your recent comments there. It's not necessary to make non-admin comments at RFPP, like some non-admins make at AN or ANI, as administrators almost always disregard them and make their own judgments about the individual situations. If you wish to engage an editor who has made a protection request, please do so at their user talk page or on the article talk page.

The protection policy is clear about which pages need protection. It borders on disruptive editing to place so many unnecessary requests that require administrator attention in the space of five hours. I hope that wasn't your intent, but I want to make sure you understand that such requests prevent us from responding to the pages that need to be protected quickly.

In any case, please make sure you understand the protection policy before you make another page protection request. Thanks. :-) KrakatoaKatie 07:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

WP:GAN nominations

I saw your nominations of Richard Jefferson, Paul George (basketball) and Chris Paul. I was considering quickfailing each of them. Please make sure that each one has at least one WP:IC in each paragraph (since in a well-structured article a new paragraph indicates a new topic). Jefferson also seems to be quite thin biographically. Please expand his high school and college career. What did he do to earn Pac-12 Basketball Hall of Honor induction? "integral part of the varsity basketball" - Was he all-state? all-area? Scoring leader? Did he set school records? Try to track down his college bio. They usually detail both high school and college. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jefferi01.html says he was a McD All-American. He must have done some impressive things in high school. I'll check back in in a couple of days before I decide whether to QF any of these.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Mass nominations of GAs

Hey Bigpoliticsfan,

I noticed that in the past 48 hours you've been nominating a lot of articles for GA, and that most of these have been closed as quickfails by me or other users. Before you nominate any more, I'd suggest you look at the instructions at WP:GAN/I. I appreciate your enthusiasm for these topics, but you don't appear to have worked on most of the articles before nominating, and several of your nominations had outstanding cleanup banners. I'd also point you to the sentence: "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination." Nominating unready articles, unfortunately, is just a waste of everyone's time.

I do appreciate your interest in the project--I'd just suggest you pick one or two articles you've worked on at length and checked against the GA criteria before nominating more. Taking those through the process will give you a better idea of what does and doesn't make a good nomination. Cheers, and let me know if there's any way I can help, Khazar2 (talk) 20:08, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
