Two distinguished gentlemen, nice work. Mind you, I was rather hoping someone would have a free image of ZZ Top. ;) Alastair Haines (talk) 17:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Reckless editing

Seriously, can you slow down? Your edits are not improvements. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 06:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

• Ok, I'm done. "Onomatopoeia", "cross-pollination", and "idiom" were not being used well. Bod (talk) 06:19, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Painting, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Intensity (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 M. Graham

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 M. Graham 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. KDS4444^Talk 11:44, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Why?

Why? McCay is notorious for the illegibility of his dialogue balloons, and now we have an illegible strip fragment in place of a full strip. What is this image supposed to have improved? Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 08:50, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

• Just find anything to replace that Segar comic strip. It is very old, there is no color, the artwork is poor, and each panel looks nearly identical. Bod (talk) 09:03, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
  • "Very old"?—the McCay predates the Segar by nearly twenty years. Surely there's something better if you want colour—there are plenty of golden-age comic books that have fallen into the public domain, for instance. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 09:20, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
    • If you are dissatisfied with the McCay piece, feel free to replace it. I just searched wikimedia for images of comics with a free license. And by "old", I meant mostly by the style of the artwork. I have a book on drawing comics from the '30s and there is a distinctive look. That top image doesn't have to be the "ultimate comic", it just has to look good for the article. Bod (talk) 01:00, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
      • No, it doesn't just have to "look good" for the article—the lead image has to represent the article and demonstrate its contents. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 02:24, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

November 2015

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bob Ross, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mlpearc (open channel) 01:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

• What? That doesn't make sense. I didn't add anything, I just fixed some grammar and punctuation and changed some paragraphs. Why did you revert my 3 edits? Bod (talk) 03:26, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Redirect Swatch

You want to introduce the new lemma "Swatch (Watch)" instead of just "Swatch" as existing lemma. Are you aware, that "Swatch" is a registered Trade Mark/brand name owned by the Swatch Group?--BBCLCD (talk) 08:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Notice

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, such as November 2015 Paris attacks, which you have recently edited. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
