Bio stub

Could you please stop adding the biology stub template to articles which already have a stub-template? The moth family stub template is subordinate to the biology template, and thus there is no need to have both in the same article. Ruigeroeland (talk) 14:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! If you need any help with anything, feel free to ask. Happy editing! Ruigeroeland (talk) 14:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stub Types

Hello, fellow Wikipedian! My name is Mike, and I couldn't help to notice that you may be having some difficulty with sorting different stub-types. I'll be the first to admit, in the past I ran into this same problem. It was always so difficult navigating Wikipedia's Stub List. So, here is a suggestion that has helped me out. Instead of referring to the list directly, I do a google search to find the appropriate stub. For instance:

Microregion of Andradina - I googled "Wikipedia Brasil Geography Stub".
Spreader (mining) - I googled "Wikipedia Mining Stub".
The Hunter’s Sword - I googled "Wikipedia Comics Stub".

Using this method, I'd say I find the appropriate stub-type 95% of the time. Even though I may not contribute to the article any further than placing the stub itself, it helps in the long-run for other editors who are looking to contribute only in certain categories that interest them. Keep up the great work! Cheers, mate! OSU1980 (talk) 18:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Smd75jr. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", 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! Widr (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reagan Building

I'm not sure why you keep removing the reference to the newsworthy event that has sent many more people than ever to the Reagan Building page. Edit if you like, but it is a meaningful reference. With respect to the adjectives applied to the group, I'm fairly certain that they would confirm each of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:F84E:DD00:D1E6:1D0E:1189:6412 (talk) 00:52, 22 November 2016 (UTC) Since there is no response, I imagine that you have none. What is it that you think is untrue in what I wrote? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.54.34 (talk) 05:22, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ANTI - SEMITE ISSUE:::

son - don't be a wise guy and don't change what doesn't need your changing. jasbir puar is an anti-semite just as much as she is professor, theorist, and an author. it is critical information to make that characterization well known in the beginning of her profile and not just the end. start playing with reality and not just yourself! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.148.42.142 (talk) 19:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanto participles

You undid this edit on the section about Esperanto participles. I edited a paragraph that stated that the rule for formation of participles in the Esperanto language (with active and passive forms) holds to all verbs, without exceptions. Since intransitive and copulative verbs don't have passive forms, they consequently don't have passive participles (e.g., there is estas ("is") and estanta ("being") but no estata), thus I corrected that statement. I cannot see how this editing does not appear constructive nor how did you undo it. 179.214.43.190 (talk) 00:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kehlani

Yesterday, a discography page was created, meaning that there is no need to keep her discography in two places. Therefore I removed it, as it was on the discography page and kept the album name. If it is ok, please could i re-do that edit.

Homophobia

Please refrain from leaving homophobic comments on the Divine Truth article. You are entitled to your own personal opinions but these hateful comments are not appropriate for a community-created encyclopedia.

Troy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.219.188.88 (talk) 18:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you. I'm the one removing your homophobic edits, you adorable lil troll :)

~ Troy

This is an encyclopedia, not the wall of the stall of a public restroom in a High School. You can not make broad assumptions about a group of people with zero evidence. Your edits stating that many of the most devout followers of Divine Truth are "probably homosexual" is not consistent with WP:NPOV. Please refrain from making such edits in the future. In addition, while I am sure that Queensland is a lovely place, it is not considered to be "the greatest place in the world" and such statements are not only nearly impossible to verify, but are also in violation of WP:NPOV.Smd75jr (talk) 18:21, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Divine Truth people are wonderful people, hence they are "probably homosexual" because they are fabulous, like me. You're the one making a broad assumption as you have zero evidence that they are NOT in fact gay. Please provide this evidence, otherwise you are simply being homophobic and anti-fabulous. In addition, you persecuted me by getting me blocked just for being homosexual. I know you hate gays but come on, why get me blocked? I'm a nice guy, honestly, sweetheart ;)

One last thing: Queensland is the greatest place in the world because there are so many queens, like myself. You should visit. Love, Troy xx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.250.82.44 (talk) 18:49, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Now that my 31 hour ban is up, I just wanted to come back and apologise. I didn't mean any harm and I mean that sincerely (I know being an IP-poster doesn't help, LOL...I really should make an account) but the situation with the Divine Truth article was perhaps too close to my heart (conflict of interest, am I right?!) but anyways, just wanted to say sorry. No hard feelings about anything on my end and I just hope you accept my apology, but at the same time I will understand if you don't. Troy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.250.82.44 (talk) 02:47, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hillary Clinton

This is JohnTopShelf. I edited the Hillary Clinton article. The article mentioned Huma Abedin's husband without naming him. I simply added his name. Why would you remove this edit, claiming it to be irrelevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTopShelf (talk • contribs) 20:57, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not quite sure which edit you are referring to. If you can, please post a link to the diff and I will be more than happy to look at it. Smd75jr (talk) 21:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The removal of OR here was the right thing to do. I just took the additional step of notifying the anonymous user about the OR policy even though the revert happened months ago.
