Therianthropy

If you're interested, Therianthropy has recently developed some controversy. [1] ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 07:10, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I should be replying here, on or your talk page... but either way; thanks for the greeting. - BRW 21:53:33 17th Jan 2005 UTC

hello

Hello. Please note that "See also" and "External links" should not have capital initial letters after the first word; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style on section headings. Michael Hardy 01:31, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I missed that one. BRW 09:10, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)

Boiserie

Hi, Regarding your edit today at Boiserie do you really think it is an architectural stub? To my way of thinking its more carpentry, interior design or something like that. Giano | talk 21:22, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Giano,

I used arch-stub because that was the best fit I could see, but I'm hardly an expert. I agree 'interior design' seems a better stub-type, but I didn't see that stub-type (nor carpentry) in the lists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types and Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs. Do you know of any more comprehensive lists? I'm sure I've seen some stub-types used that aren't on either...

BRW 21:32, 2005 May 4 (UTC)

Well, I've changed the category, but I still don't know of any better stub-types

BRW 12:22, 2005 May 6 (UTC)

1 more user box

I think that there is one userbox that you should probbibly add to your page:

ubx-5

This user uses entirely too many userboxes.

True, isn't it?--Akako |☎ 19:36, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*nods* yes, yes it is... What can I say -- I was feeling bored that day. :O) BRW 08:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Metal Prices

In the Samarium-cobalt magnet article, you mention Cobalt's price sensitivity. Where can I find out more about the price sensitivity of metals? --DryaUnda 17:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I can't remember. It's been over a year since I wrote that... BRW 19:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Myra Wilson

I stumbled upon this stub entirely accidentally; however, I cannot see how this person is notable enough to merit their own article. The claim seems to rest upon her anecdotal television appearances. Based upon the guidelines for notability, this does not appear to be enough. Is there anything to add to make this a credible entry? Mk3severo 01:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Space: 1999 episodes

Thanks for the help, and no, I didn't forget about it :) — Moe 19:54, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you know anyone or you would like to help write the short summaries on this page, please feel free to help out in doing so. :) — Moe 20:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary links

Just so you know, {{wiktionarypar}} is better than {{wiktionary}}, as the former lets you link to exactly the right article, whereas the latter links to Wiktionary's "Search" feature. (The distinction exists for historical reasons, and {{wiktionary}} still exists for backward compatibility with articles that still use it, but it should never be added to articles, as {{wiktionarypar}} is always better.) For example, I altered your recent edit to Supine to use {{wiktionarypar|supine}}. —Ruakh_TALK 20:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info! --BRW 21:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Furry

Looking for something to do? WikiProject Furry is improving articles on furry and anthropomorphic topics, and we'd like to have you on board.

Our current goal is to raise Anthrocon, furry convention and furry fandom to good article status and beyond - but if that doesn't take your fancy, there are plenty of other articles to work on. Give it a go and let us know how you're doing!

You received this one-time invitation because you are a Furry Wikipedian. GreenReaper 23:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of European Air Law Association

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on European Air Law Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of European Air Law Association and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 16:15, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Americium-241.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Americium-241.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vinyl cutter, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Signs and Cardboard (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Howard Weinstein (writer)

Hello BRW,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Howard Weinstein (writer) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Döberitz military training area moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Döberitz military training area. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Waqar💬 20:13, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given that clicking "Submit draft for review" button shows me a message saying:

"Review waiting, please be patient. This may take 4 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,024 pending submissions waiting for review."

I wish to register my annoyance against you for having done that in the first place.

Given that delay, in future instances just send the creator a message saying "this needs references even though it's a stub" or similar. BRW (talk) 10:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Döberitz military training area (July 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two sources, which may or may not be reliable (both look like personal blogs or project pages), and a total of three citations, is not enough to either establish notability per WP:GNG, or to adequately support the information. If any of those external links (which are too many in number) can be used as references, please cite them as sources in the usual manner.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Döberitz military training area and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These two references (and external links) are the entirety of those used for the already-existing German page of the same topic from which this English version has been translated: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truppen%C3%BCbungsplatz_D%C3%B6beritz

Therefore I regard your rejection as unreasonable. BRW (talk) 15:19, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BRW! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My account predates the Teahouse by 8 years, it's patronising to say "new editors like yourself!", especially as the rules seem to have changed around me. BRW (talk) 15:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Döberitz military training area has been accepted
