Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

[edit] Mohammed Shabir

I've just read your Mohammed Shabir article - a top class first edit. I'm guessing you've spent a while editing not logged in. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 17:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, an impressive start! --HailFire 10:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Some of this article's references mention "realism" as a key part of Shabir's likely approach to problem solving. In this context, I wanted to bring your attention to this section of the Barack Obama article where some related ideas are discussed and references noted. --HailFire 11:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tancredo's external links

The Editor's Barnstar
Your reorganization of the external links into clean categories on the Tom Tancredo page is greatly appreciated! CodeCarpenter 18:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Insight's political axe-grinding (beyond mere bias) as investigative reporting

I agree with your edits and your rationale for these edits (in the Insight magazine article).

The link to the NY Times article are essential, so that readers can see the truth beyond this story. And the links are to keep wikipedia with verifiable documentation, otherwise, reference-less articles are no better than Insight's sourceless accusations. Dogru144 13:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent link changes.

Hi, I see your name coming up in the spamfeeds since you change a lot of external links. It looks to me like you are doing good edits, but could you please provide an edit summary, otherwise someone else might revert all your edits. Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice cleanup of the Bobby Jindal article.

It looks sharp, Kudos!. DanielZimmerman 06:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DEFAULTSORT

Hi Flatterworld, I have noticed you have been adding the DEFAULTSORT template to articles recently. Just to let you know that this feature is a magic word and not a template, and the correct construction is {{DEFAULTSORT:Sortkey}} rather than {{DEFAULTSORT|Sortkey}}, using ":" instead of "|". The template was created to prevent confusion and shouldn't be used if possible. Thanks, mattbr 11:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

You could check Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:DEFAULTSORT and see if you have edited any of the articles. This list is a lot shorter than it was so it should be relatively easy! Thanks, mattbr 19:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, you didn't have to fix them all! I have nowiki'd the bot logs and left a note on the plugin page to ask for them to be nowiki 'd in future. Thanks again, mattbr 22:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
