Talk page discussion
Just wanted to invite you to a discussion on the following talk page about a possible rename in the future: Talk:2014_Venezuelan_protests.--ZiaLater (talk) 22:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
DYK for Gregorio Jiménez de la Cruz
 | On 9 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gregorio Jiménez de la Cruz, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that while officials in the Mexican state Veracruz believe Gregorio Jiménez de la Cruz was murdered over a personal dispute, his fellow reporters suspect it was for his investigative work? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gregorio Jiménez de la Cruz. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Rollback
Hi DaltonCastle/Archive 2. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! —Tom Morris (talk) 01:06, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Great! Thanks! I'll make sure to use it wisely and appropriately. DaltonCastle (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The article Pure Strategy Group has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evidence of any notability. No sources, not even primary sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PamD 22:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
More feedback
Hi, I read your user page, and had a look at a couple of your recent edits:
- Burghwallis: "England" is more informative than "UK", and country names needn't be linked
- Rock of Solutré: yes, good to add geog context (I frequently do so to United States articles too), but again needn't link country.
- Hum Sub Umeed Se Hain: there's a useful short cut - you can put [[Pakistan]]i instead of [[Pakistan|Pakistani]]. Any letters directly after a link (with no space) will be added to the linked word when displayed. Useful for various plurals etc as well as adjectives like this.
- Kolomna (disambiguation): no, we don't add extra links to dab pages (but we do bolden the lead word, as I've just done)
- The Virtues of War: I reckon it's still a stub. Nothing about critical reception etc.
Well, that's a few comments and suggestions. Hope it's helpful. PamD 07:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: 2012 Aurora shooting
- A conspiracy theory has risen that asserts Holmes was a government patsy, possibly under mind control, in an effort to support the U.N. firearms treaty, although there is little evidence to support this claim.
While you might have a good reason for adding this conspiracy, you're going to need really good sources. "Occupy Corporatism" isn't a quality source for Wikipedia. Try looking through the Google news indexes or specialized news indexes like NewsBank. For more info, see WP:RS. Viriditas (talk) 06:27, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

"dead or redundant"?
I am puzzled by this edit. "Dead link" is a term I understand to refer to external links to web pages that no longer exist. Internal links to non-existent Wikipedia articles that ought to get written are encouraged by official policy; they're not something to "clean up". I don't see anything "redundant" in this stubby article. Can you explain? Michael Hardy (talk) 15:10, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- The link to 1971 leads right back to the same page. So I guess I was wrong in the particular issue I added, but there is still indeed a problem. Since I do not know what the original author intended to convey with that link, I do not know what to link it to.DaltonCastle (talk) 18:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- I hadn't noticed that link, but when you click on "1971" where it appears in the article, you're directed to the publication that appeared in 1971 that is listed in the references section. I think that's what was intended. This would be more visible in a long article, since it would take you all the way down to the references section. Michael Hardy (talk) 23:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- O, Okay, good. It sounds like someone fixed that link. Before it linked directly back to the same article we were looking at. So I guess someone came in and totally resolved it. Sounds all good and dandy to me. Let me know if there's anything else. Thanks for the help.DaltonCastle (talk) 20:04, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Adalah-NY shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. You are edit warring to introduce unsourced, or poorly sourced, contentious assertions about a living person. This is strictly forbidden. Furthermore, this article, like all articles relating to the Israel-Palestine conflict, is subject to a stricter-than-usual one revert rule (with exceptions for removal of material not compliant with Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people). I recommend that you cease this behaviour atr once, and that you only add material compliant with Wikipedia rules. RolandR (talk) 22:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
