Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Polka Dot Productions

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Polka Dot Productions, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- RandorXeus.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ali Baba K'babs and Wraps

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ali Baba K'babs and Wraps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Inks.LWC (talk) 07:26, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Non-rail vehicles (Thomas and Friends), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scarlet (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:04, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Problem Solverz

Hi, I saw your recent edit at The Problem Solverz. If the show is canceled, that information should be supported by a reliable source, not just by the edit summary: "This show is cancelled. No ifs or buts." Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to The Problem Solverz, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Resubmitting contested information without discussion conflicts with the cooperative nature of Wikipedia editing. Feel free to participate at The Problem Solverz Talk Page.

Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, original research and proper date submissions

Hi, I recently reverted your edit at Secret Mountain Fort Awesome because you added a TV series end date without a proper reference. Such submissions are usually considered original research. Additionally, when you submit dates for US shows, please use the American date format (MM/DD/YYYY). Further, please do not revert edits without addressing or resolving the issues that were brought up in the first revert. The article's talk page is a good place to open these discussions. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:52, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

August 2013

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Secret Mountain Fort Awesome. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you have a problem with the idea that series end dates should require sources, take it up with WikiProject Television. While it may seem intuitive to you and to me that a show that hasn't aired new episodes in over a year could be considered "ended", we don't make edits on intuition, we make them with facts. Do not resubmit the series end date without a source. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:54, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas pages

Please don't just change air dates or other info without explain why you are changing. Ideally, you should provide a reliable source; at least, please explain in the edit summaries. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:48, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

April 2014

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at The Problem Solverz. Diff: [1] As previously advised, Wikipedia does not accept personal opinion, speculation, or original research in articles. Statements such as "The show is cancelled and it hasn't aired since March 2013. No ifs or buts." is inappropriate confirmation for article facts. Futon Critic is not an acceptable source for a series end date if they assume, rather than confirm, the cancellation. The source you provided states that the series is assumed to be cancelled. If you don't like the rules, take it up with WikiProject Television. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Joke edits

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Australian dollar. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write.
