Unfortunately, we can't quote Amazon.com reviews since I think Amazon holds copyright to the submissions made by its users, so I deleted the review of Macaulay Culkin's novel. Feel free to write a neutral summary yourself if you've read it, or summarize the content of a professional review.
However, I looked at your other contributions; I think you're doing a great job so far and you deserve some recognition for that. You may be familiar with the practice of giving out "

Thanks for uploading Image:Fearitself-titlecard.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We requires this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

The changes you made to the infobox in this article resulted in it being deleted. You cannot make changes to the basic structure, such as change "name" to "Name" or "runtime" to "Runtime", because the way it is designed lets Wikipedia understand and responde to built-in commands. I don't understand the technical side of it, I just know you can't alter it. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 14:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan Glatzer
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 08:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Iraandabby.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Iraandabby.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Musiktheater
Thank you for copy-editing! When I translated Musiktheater to Musical Theatre, people thought of Musical, which we call Musical even in German, but not a general term for theatre with music (opera, operatta, ballet, ...). Help? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Emergency services response
Hello. I see you're a fan of joining compound modifiers. Has it occured to you that "services response" is not a thing (or at least not something people talk about)? Because of this lack of ambiguity, I think your hyphen is unnecessary. Further, it looks weird. I've tried Googling for an example of anyone ever doing this in print, and turned up nothing. Pages and pages of the normal way. Do you know something I don't? If so, I'd rather understand than erase it again. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:47, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- It only looks weird to you because compound modifiers are hardly ever used. The section discusses the response of the emergency services; it is precisely because "services response" is "not a thing" that the hyphen is used. See newyorker.com for an example of "emergency-services" as a compound modifier, there with "volunteers" after it. The section could also have a talk) 00:56, 1 April 2019 (UTC)]
- I see compound modifiers every day, from "rear-axle steering" to "double-edged sword". They do a great job not meaning the other thing, and look fine to me. I think we're just wired differently on the "no other thing" issue, so we'll call that a draw. I appreciate the effort and at least understand it is done in some pieces now, so won't bother you about it anymore. I totally agree that apostrophe could work, but I doubt it's worth doing.

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
