[edit] Signed off?

Alex, you keep on signing off and it's getting confusing which !votes are yours. Make sure to sign each. Bulldog123 21:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, actually, I don't know what is going on? I am Alexander_Lau and that underscore isn't taking for some, extremely odd, reason. I keep getting a RED hyperlink, when I've actually contributed a lot and should be BLUE!?!?! :(

It's coming up red because your userpage is blank. When you edit that, your name will come up blue, because your name links to your userpage, not your contributions. --BelovedFreak 20:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Companies based in Pittsburgh

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Companies based in Pittsburgh, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Companies based in Pittsburgh is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Companies based in Pittsburgh, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
