Your recent edit to Deoxycytidine (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 71.41.210.146). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • 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 content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:38, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning for editing Glycine (diff). The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. // MartinBot 00:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning for editing Alanine (diff). The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. // MartinBot 00:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Misunderstanding

Ah, reviewing your contributions more closely, I've found that the block was in error. Now, the reason why you were blocked in the first place was due to a report on WP:AIV by a bot named "User:MartinBot". This bot works as an anti-vandalism bot, reverting edits that it deems to be "nonsense". Your edits were reverted immediately by this bot, due to the somewhat random nature of the SMILES formulae. MartinBot automatically reports editors who have vandalized more than four times to the bot section of the Administrator Intervention against Vandalism page. Administrators rarely check the contributions of a user when it has been reported by MartinBot because the bot very rarely makes mistakes. I hope you accept my humblest apologies for this block; it was a general misunderstanding between the parties. Cheers, Sean William 03:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

In the future, if you wish to be unblocked, place the {{unblock}} template on your talk page or send the blocking administrator an e-mail. Sean William 03:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MESSENGER

Thanks very much for the excellently worded paragraph you added to the MESSENGER article. It does a great job of explaining both the reasons for, and consequences of, the gravity assist mechanism! (Sdsds - Talk) 07:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Successful AFC

Your nomination at Articles for Creation was a success, and Izana Observatory was created. Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia, and please consider registering an account. Thank you.--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 20:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AFC's on hold

Hi there! Because your request requires a rename of an existing page, I'd like to make sure that there is consensus within the community to make the move. I posted on the article talk page, so perhaps if you would like to communicate with other users interested in the telescopes and point me to that I would be happy to do the move for you! Basically, I don't want to step on any toes if the move is controversial, and I requested expert assistance because I'm not at all knowledgable about the topic. Are you aware of any controversy that making the move might cause, or can you provide me with some resources so I can learn more about the topic? Thanks for staying involved, and I'd like to make sure that your requests are dealt with! --Xnuala (talk)(Review) 23:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

You've definitely convinced me. I see no controversy evident, and appreciate the time you have taken to educate me on the topic! The move shall be performed shortly. Have you thought at all about registering for an account? No pressure, you are definitely welcome to contine contributing as an IP if you wish.--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 00:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, all done! Let me know if you have any other requests!--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 01:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T.H. Huxley page

Dear 71, Thanks for your input, which I've adjusted so that the article follows the same pattern right through (as per Wiki editing guidelines).

First, I've added a Hux-Wilberforce debate sub-section. As the article is much longer than it was these sign-posts are needed.

Lucas 1979 ref was already in the reference section under Links, and yes, I did read it! Now I've added it to the sub-section Hux-Wilberforce debate as a standard reference. The Browne and Desmond references already there contain a whole slew of previous refs to this topic (there are many), and are actually the best sources. But I'm happy to have Lucas in even though it's something of a minority view. And direct to the on-line version is still available in Links.

Because the article now has detailed accounts in sub-sections, details need not be put in the intro. Readability of intros is important. So you'll find the exact date of the debate in the sub-section. Everything in the intro is well justified by what follows. The Encyc Brit link is an exception, because that was the starting point for so many Wiki stubs. Macdonald-ross 15:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits to Mistress Matisse

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, 71.41.210.146! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule libsyn\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

[edit] Hyphens and n-dashes

Is there any particular reason for your pathological hatred of hyphens? Why are you changing them to n-dashes? Grant | Talk 10:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Because they're often used incorrectly in Wikipedia, as people aren't used to typing the proper dashes, even though they're the first things available in the Insert box at the bottom of every edit page. See [Dash] for full details.
It just happens to annoy me, so since I'm improving wikipedia in a small but finite way, and the difficulty of making the edit is very low, I do it a lot. Most recently, I edited every link to Philippines campaign (1944-45), making it link to the page (that it already redirected to) whose title properly includes an en-dash, Philippines campaign (1944–45). 71.41.210.146 02:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
D'oh, I beg your pardon; you obviously know what you're doing :-) I'm too used to the reverse case, in which people use hyphens in place of n-dashes or even m-dashes.
As a hard-working and valuable contributor, I suggest you create a Wikipedia account, there are a lot of advantages if you do. Grant | Talk 02:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Style

Note that ==See also== goes before references, and is written with small "a" in "also", so not ==See Also==. Would be nice if you make an account, since you contribute a lot. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Apologies; thanks for fixing that. 71.41.210.146 15:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The bot actually reported you to WP:AIV. I've removed the report as a false positive. For your information, though, you should not provide references to forum discussions as sources in articles, because such discussions fail WP:RS. Thanks, Sandstein (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Comparison of revision control software do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblogspot\.com' (link(s): http://vcscompare.blogspot.com/) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 03:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Have requested a second opinion to adjudicate. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 06:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
