[edit] Thanks for including me!
Hi! I'd just like to thank you for including all my hard work on the Volume and Booster Series pages by including them in your Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game sets Template. It took a while, and it's nice that someone appreciates all that hard work! I'm adding the templates to them right now to those pages, so you don't have to worry about that.

--Extra Addition
Sorry for editing your template, but I just wanted to save some time while I was thinking about it. It was just a minor addition.

[edit] Richard Bull (musician)
The article Richard Bull (musician) has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. See WP:MUSIC.

[edit] Note regarding reverts
This is a friendly note regarding reverting vandalism. This revert of yours to South America reverted to the last version by an IP which had previously vandalised the page and which had also changed statistics without explaining why in an edit summary, nor citing any reliable sources for such a change. Please make sure that you are reverting to a good version by checking the "history" of a page. Cheers and happy editing! Jpeob 03:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- No worries. It's easy to do. Checking the history is a good habit to get into, however. By the way, feel free to respond to talk messages where the conversation starts. I'll watch! Cheers, Jpeob 03:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, I noticed you beating me to a few reverts while I was using VandalProof. You don't seem to be using any tools, so I thought I'd give you some. VP is good, but Lupin's anti-vandal tool is excellent. Since you're working with us, we might as well make you more effective and efficient, eh? Oh, and here's a gift for you too.
Have a good day, and leave me a note if you have any questions! Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 05:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia
I think they should remain the same so people can immediately go to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia to see the description of the cards. I have an account on Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia too. The Legendary Ranger 15:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandal tags
Thank you for reverting vandalism on Wikipedia!
Be sure to put warning tags on the vandal's user talk page (such as {{subst:test}}
, {{subst:test2}}
, {{subst:test3}}
, {{subst:test4}}
). Add each of these tags on the vandal's talk page, in sequential order, after each instance of vandalism. Adding warnings to the talk page assists administrators in determining whether or not the user should be blocked. If the user continues to vandalize pages after you add the {{subst:test4}}
tag, request administrator assistance at Request for Intervention. Again, thank you for helping to make Wikipedia better.Darry2385 04:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diphenhydramine edit
Why was my edit in the "recreational use" segment on diphenhydramine reverted? It is extremely common for the drug to be taken up to 900mg and some daring individuals have taken well over that. It is also common knowledge in the diphenhydramine abuser underground that full hallucinations and interactions usually start after ingesting about 550mg.
[edit] Duelist Packs
No, but as they have not yet been released in English yet, I'll stick to the Japanese name until they name it in English. Drake Clawfang 06:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revert
No problem. CheersPeter Rehse 04:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Crandall Addington
Hi, just a note to let you know I changed this article to a redirect to Crandell Addington. Best as I can determine, the latter spelling is correct, although it is spelled inconsistently all over wikipedia and the rest of the web (e.g. Hendon Mob). —Kymacpherson 18:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Concerning the Causes of WWII
Thanks for looking out for vandalism; it was my mistake for not marking the changes as discussed.
[edit] Walrus
Hi Red Director, I assume you're trying to stop vandalism with your reverts at the Walrus page - seems like people like to vandalize it. However, take a look at the comments on the article discussion page I made (under etymology, IP address 192.168.2.102). There you'll see that my changes reflect the OED etymology, as well as the etymology to be found at http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=walrus. Do you have any info supporting the old etymology ("shore-giant")? If I don't hear back from you I'll just revert it again. Rosenkreutzer 07:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Got your message Red, I'll do that in future. I'm new to this.Rosenkreutzer 10:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VirginiaBoy
Hi, Red Director, I hope it's okay to put this on your page but I have a question about The Fairly OddParents episodes list; on the far right column it has the term "code" and three digit numbers below it. What do these mean, are they the order in which they were produced or something else entirely. I hope it was all right to put this on your talk page, but if it isn't let me know! Thanks
[edit] Carz
No problem, There has been a rash of vandalism on fake animated films jj 20:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rochester, Minnesota
Hello. I undid your reversion to this article [1] as the data table appears to be a useful edit, rather than vandalism. Let me know on the article's talk page if you disagree. Thanks. Kablammo 17:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your prompt response. I see the contributor is adding similar tables to other articles, so if there is a reason why it shouldn't be done the editor should be notified. Regards, Kablammo 17:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] P:RUS
If you are interested in Russia-related themes, you may want to check out the Russia Portal, particularly the Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. You may even want to add these boards to your watchlist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alex Bakharev (talk • contribs) 23:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Portal History vandalism
It is amazing how much of the vandalism here seems so infantile, thanks for your revert - I really wonder whether there is a need for some form of proetection SatuSuro 04:22, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for my user talk revert. :) --Teck(with no h)WizTalk Contribs@ 22:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I just wanted to say thanks for reverting vandalism to Suzanne Middle School. -A.Ou 19:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Feral child. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Kyra~(talk) 20:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Warning retracted. It can happen to all of us (happens to me occasionally), so don't worry about it. And sorry about jumping the gun on my part, as well. Keep up the good hunting, and have a great day. Kyra~(talk) 20:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] zune
You recently did a rv on several edits on Zune. The rv was large and you marked them as minor and you did not then start any comment on the discussion page. You may want to read Help:Reverting which states, in part, "If you feel the edit is unsatisfactory, improve it rather than simply reverting or deleting it." and then laster, "Do not revert changes simply because someone makes an edit you consider problematic, biased, or inaccurate. Improve the edit, rather than reverting it." You may also want to read Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith. 70.17.92.51 21:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mountain rescue, individual mountain rescue teams articles?
I volunteer in a local mountain rescue organization, Rocky Mountain Rescue Group in the "real world." Our group has around 70 volunteers, and in numbers of emergency operations we are most likely the busiest volunteer mountain rescue team in the US (60 operations/ year). We are also one of the oldest volunteer mountain rescue teams in the US (founded in 1947). Some of our members have suggested that we should write an article for wikipedia on our team. I see that a one organization has already done this Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team. What do you think? Is a Wikipedia article on Rocky Mountain Rescue appropriate?DriveBy27 02:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RV Irish Famine
You can have == Emigration == or ==Emigration== works out the same. Half the titles on this page have a space, your just making edits for yourself, there was no call for revert. Culnacréann 09:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Yu-Gi-Oh! Expansions
Hi R.D., I explained the reasoning for the format on my talk page in greater detail if you want to check. In short, it was to make the articles more encylopedic, comprehensive and organized, rather than just list every card in a set (which includes the infobox, release dates, mechanics explanations, etc.) The only reason that there is inconsistency between the formats is the fact that I haven't gotten around to introducing the new format to all the expansion pages, though I was intending to (I mentioned this on the Force of Breaker discussion page when someone else questioned the formatting a while ago; I was working backwards from Tactical Evolution, and got as far as Power of the Duelist the last time I found time for it). Anyways, I'll leave the pages as they are for now, but I do think the newer format is more precise as an encylopedia article (vs. a mere list, which can be looked up elsewhere). Drop a reply on my talk page. Ciao. --Benten 23:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Edit: Just thought I'd mention this. Since the previous versions of the pages that you reverted to are incomplete in terms of info and have some sp/grammar errors from before which I fixed while working on them, I'm going to change it back now (it doesn't really do much harm given that they've had the new format for quite a while already). If you want to continue discussing the matter, leave a message on my talk page. Cya. --Benten 13:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Got your message. I'm fine with there being a "+/-" range for sets in terms of notable card number, but I think there still has to be a reasonable maximum, as to prevent other editors from going all out and listing any number of cards. For the cards to be notable, I think there has to be a valid reason for them to be in the section, but aside from that, I'm in agreement for changing the format of all the articles to match the newer one. Ciao. --Benten 23:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
