Hello, good work on

• Done. Cheers. IceCreamAntisocial 17:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

anybody up for mentoring-the newbie?

Hi IceCream - nice starts on some California plants! I guess you know there's a bit of a drive on to ask people to

• Ok thx, will add the link. IceCreamAntisocial 15:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

You have a very fine screen name. Just thought I'd tell you that. :) --Mr. Billion 02:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks dude :) IceCreamAntisocial 02:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi IceCreamAntisocial. I removed the speedy delete because the article does assert notability, and it is not obvious that this person is not notable, so you should try using {{

You kindly added a link from his page Wilfrid Freeman to RAF Officers. I would be much obliged if you would move it to F for Freeman rather than W for Wilfrid.

Being relatively unsophisticated in the finer points of wikipedia categories, would you also mind adding him onto the RAF Air Marshals category? Ta --pepperrell 15:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for doing that. --pepperrell 19:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting

• Hi! Yes, I recently reverted
  Yantra Mandir (Delhi) because the edits of the article starting with those by the user 203.129.194.20 were filled entirely with text cut-and-pasted from this webpage, and possibly others; Google gave me several hits. Earlier versions of the article don't seem to be copyvio, so I simply reverted. It would be nice if someone could expand the article with their own words! Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial 19:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Hi! The table of contents should automatically appear when you add sections to the article, by putting two "=" around each section heading. For example, the way you did with my talk page... putting two "=" around the words "Looking for Help" made it a new chapter in the table of contents of my talk page automatically. Donno if that made any sense -
  Here's the Wiki guidelines about it. Also there is Wikipedia:Help_desk where you can post questions such as this where there are people who know more than I do and explain it better. Cheers, and good luck with your articles! IceCreamAntisocial 04:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Well, what I would do is redirect
  US Silver, since by himself he might not be "notable" enough for his own article. Then in the US Silver article put a blurb about him, since he's the CEO and all. That's just what I would do, though, you don't have to follow my lead by any means. Cheers :) IceCreamAntisocial 03:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

You tagged the Tim Atchley article for speedy deletion, which was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I just wanted to let you know that, since this was the user's first article, I left a {{vanity|Tim Atchley}} message on the user's talk page at User talk:TimAtchley, together with a {{welcome2}} message. This is often the best way to deal with a newbie's autobiographical first page. I also added a {{userfy}} message on the article page. With luck, this will convert the new user into a productive and happy editor writing encyclopedic articles. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 19:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE READ: for those of you who are doubters, please notice no back link to the website www.searchtoppers.com which would be the case if one was self promotion, and further more if you have a phone with a web brouser go to searchtoppers.tv and view a demo of the search toppers mobile streaming technology in action. the mobile streaming transfer rate is greater than 24 frames per second (HD). It works on all carriers except verizon who has not lowered their "wall garden". search and lear about carrier wall gardens then you can look up H.264 technology without disclosing patent pending information you can easily see searctoppers is who they claim to be. Thank you in advance for the time it will take you to confirm.

First the bad news: I speedied Veronica Castellana as CSD A7, which was the correct thing to do; but I also speedied RN MARKET and LNC STAT, which was the wrong thing to do considering neither of them were biographies. For this I have to say I made a mistake.

Now the good news: As a result of my silly improper speedies, I've had more time to review the creator's contribs and have bundled all his other advertising creations in a even bigger, better, badder AfD. See

• Nice! Good work. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial 19:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey,I'm NOT LYING. Aha IS TRUE. Go search "aha variable algebra" into your search engine and you'll discover it's true. PLEASE help me. ~~User:Hempfel

This article, Cypress Consulting was prodded by you, the prod tag was removed by an IP address without comment. Just mentioning it in case you want to take this to AfD. --Xyzzyplugh 03:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Some references have been added to the article RND Automation & Engineering in an effort to demonstrate notability. The article now seems to have a neutral point of view, even though it was originally created by thw company's president. You may want to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RND Automation & Engineering. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 16:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

In the article

• Hi, you're right, I didn't word that well at all. I have gone back and used the author's exact words & cited him. Thanks for checking up on that! - IceCreamAntisocial 23:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello. The article Joseph "Corky" Coker was originally flagged for lack of notability. I have since revised the article. Would you please review again. Also, any suggestions for improvment would be greatly appreciated. All the Best. CokerTire 14:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I've deprodded it mainly because I felt it deserved debate at AFD rather than prod. (The parent university is new and quite interesting with ISRO and US connections, although I found nothing special about this centre.) For precedent, there's an AFD debate on a university department that's still open[1], but I'd support a merger here too. --Mereda 15:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for your edits/contributions. It's been awhile since the article has been a stub. Perhaps you can consider expanding the stub yourself? Please let me know...--Ate Pinay (talk•email) 07:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Sure, I'll try to expand it. I'll see what info I can find. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial 17:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

An editor has nominated

Hello. You suggested that Esoteric Order of Art section should be merged to Tapani Mokko. That is not a good idea. Mokko is just a member in the Order and therefore does not represent the whole art movement. He has his own artistic endeavours which are separated from the EOA, but still he participates in the project of the order. I'll remove the tag and if you have guestions conserning this matter don't hesitate to contact me. Astbury 13:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Wondering about your editing of above-named page; don't want just to revert to the version before your edit in mid-January, since that will serve neither of our intended audiences well (and will frustrate us both). Also, you are far, far more experienced than I in this medium, so I'm hoping you can give some specific suggestions on what I must avoid as I try to serve my intended audience. . . .

In brief, the page that existed before your edits in January, while admittedly long-winded and in some other ways problematic, also contained a wealth of information valuable to my intended audience, which is members of the hiking public in North Jersey and New York City. The page as it now exists (due to elimination of directions for how to reach the park, rules for use of the park, etc.) is not hiker-friendly. --The directions are particularly important because trailhead access, and route of one of the trails, have recently been changed.

If you'd let me know the audience for which you're writing, I will try to take them into account as I edit. (I hope their interests aren't inherently incompatible with the interests of hikers!) I'd also welcome any specific suggestions you might have on what cannot properly be included in an entry.

Thanks!

Pushcat 18:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

• Hi! Yeah it looks like I copyedited that article. Generally we don't put driving directions in encyclopedic articles, because that info is not of general interest and is available via Google searches or the park's website, etc. It also makes for clumsy reading unless one is specifically looking for that info. Articles at Wikipedia are not supposed to be aimed at specific audiences, but rather to a very general, worldwide audience. I edited the article after coming upon it randomly, as I do for other articles about which I know nothing and have no personal interest. So, if there is something you would like to put back in the article, feel free to do so. I won't remove it (someone else might, though!). I didn't mean to delete all your hard work! Thanks for your note. IceCreamAntisocial 19:32, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you proposed deletion of Oakwood Baptist Church. I agree that it appears to be non-notable and should therefore be deleted. However, it did not appear that anyone had warned the original author; it's good practice to do so, and easy to do by copying the line that appears at the bottom of the PROD box once you have added it to the article. I've done it now for this case. Best wishes, Fayenatic london (talk) 20:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for doing that! -IceCreamAntisocial 21:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, if you're working on new Ligusticum species articles, the one we really need is L. wallichii, due to its importance in traditional Chinese medicine. Badagnani 06:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Cool, I'll see if I can do that. Thanks! -IceCreamAntisocial 06:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to say "good call" on the DGK page. You know I reverted some vandalism on there a month ago, but didn't bother to read the article, so I didn't know how poor it was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan4314 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks! IceCreamAntisocial 02:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I just wanted to inform you that your edit has been reverted by an IP user. This user asked to undo my edit just before on my talk page. The problem is that there should not be two articles on one topic. That was the reason for your edit. I hope I was clear enough to the IP user. --Leyo 19:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

• You are right and you explained it well. Seems that user doesn't understand the purpose of a redirect. S/he also seems to have an agenda and conflict of interest. Well, I'm going to leave it alone for now and perhaps redirect in the other direction later when the user goes away. Thanks for pointing it out. -IceCreamAntisocial 19:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I had the same feeling as you. It seems that

TCS Toxicology and Chemical Substances to that place. The former article is older, but as I am the creator I might not be neutral to decide which article to keep and which to change into a redirect. But let's wait for the reply of the IP user concerning the name before moving articles. --Leyo 19:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

An article that you have been involved in editing, I & K Motors, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I & K Motors. Thank you. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I see you took our page away. I'm new to Wikipedia and would like to understand why. MUssh —Preceding unsigned comment added by MUssh (talk • contribs) 01:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

• Hi. I assume you mean
  Faculty of Arts and Education. I didn't take it away. What I did was merge the page by adding it to the article already in progress, Murdoch University. When there is an article on a topic, such as a university, it is generally most helpful to add information to it rather than create 100 articles about different aspects of the topic. An exception might be a university with a huge sports team: creating a separate article for the sports team would be a good idea because both articles will be very large. If you have more information about Murdoch University, feel free to add it to the university's page! I didn't erase your info, it's all there. Also, when you are creating a new article, it's a good idea to give it a specific title. Naming an article "Faculty of Arts and Education" might be confusing, because it could be an article about the Faculty of Arts and Education at any of a billion schools out there. Thanks for writing - IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 01:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

For creating all the plant articles - I'd been intending to do them, but with my backlog of photos to upload, it wasn't going to be any time soon! Stan (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• My pleasure. Thank you for submitting all your wonderful photos! They make Wikipedia look very attractive and professional. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		I just wanted to drop by and let you know that I appreciate all those articles you've been creating on the flora of California. Over the past year? or so, you've probably made nearly, what, 500 articles? Probably more. Because of this, I award you this Tireless Contributor Barnstar for your unyielding efforts on Californian flora. Bravo! Rkitko (talk) 04:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Did you know you were mentioned in the Wikipedia Signpost

WikiProject Plants? Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 04:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• Wow! Thank you, I had no idea. Glad to help! Thanks for my first ever barnstar! I've been meaning to join WikiProject Plants for a while and haven't gotten around to it. Guess now's a good time. IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 04:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

My goodness, that barnstar was way overdue. You deserve it! Thanks for joining :-) Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 04:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

MichiganLake Thank you for editing Valparaiso Moraine —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichiganLake (talk • contribs) 07:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, I will look again. I may have over-reacted when I did the comparison of the edits, it looked like much was removed. I was a little pissed off when I saw stuff missing because several experts review this work for accuracy... and the author spent a great deal of time on these edits. So sorry I over reacted. Thanks for making these edits. I'll look closer and see if anything was removed but it did seem like several sections were gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoilMan2007 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• I looked again and it appears that you just removed some of the headings but kept much of it. How do we get back to where it was prior to my first deletion of your edits. Sorry that I over reacted. SoilMan2007 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I removed the speedy tag on this article because they are claiming that they performed in movie, which I suppose is asserting notability, so A7 doesn't apply. I dropped a note on the author's page stating that the article still is likely to be sent to AfD since they're not even signed. Take care, Xymmax (talk) 21:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

you deleted a page "Shlomo Dubnov" and removed changes in other pages related to it. what was the problem with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SDubnov (talk • contribs) 07:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oh, sorry... actually I didn't delete your page, I moved it to your user page because I thought it was about you. Wikipedia has a policy against autobiographies and promotional pages, so those really belong in the author's user space, where he can describe himself. If I was in error, feel free to recreate the article. Make sure, though, that you avoid
  conflicts of interest, or someone might delete the article. Thanks for contributing. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 21:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

--YoavD (talk) 03:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• They are unsourced. That means they lack sources. In order to list someone on a page they should either have an article of their own or have a reference explaining their notability. It's not up to the reader to check the notability of every single name they read; they should not be listed unless they are sourced. I could list myself on 100 pages. But since there's no article about me, or a link to secondary sources explaining why I'm notable, somebody's going to delete my name, and rightfully so. Anybody can add anything to Wikipedia, you know. There is a system to prevent superfluous entries. - IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 03:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

On the Zane Morris page you noted I went in and cited the additional sources and added a link to this article in which Zane Morris was also mentioned in. This is my first page to edit and I had listed these in the wrong section. I added a second and third cite source on the page and asked about a fourth in the talk page for the nomination. Is this all I need to do? Like I said, this is my first page to edit and I want to make it correct. Thanks for catching the error by the way. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Hyperbeard (talk) 16:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay thanks for doing all that. No one has voted for deletion for the article, so it probably will not be deleted. Thanks for contributing. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 23:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The article is over four years old, and only now being proposed for deletion? If it gets deleted, please check the "what links here" list and handle each article linking to it accordingly. Personally I think RinkWorks is a great website, I visit it almost daily. But that alone is not an argument for its notability. JIP | Talk 06:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, will do. Thanx. IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 06:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi again! Just wanted to pop by and say what a great job you're doing with that list of California flora. I can't believe you're progressing so fast. I also noticed a couple page moves you've made recently, such as

For an example of a page history merge I just did, see the page histories of

WP:HM explains the process. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 03:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

• Great! Usually I just check the Commons for pics of the species, but I'll bookmark your list too. Thanks for your awesome pics! - IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 22:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I know you are busy-just a question for you as starting author of this article. I'd like to add the common name of button celery^[1] to this article as I believe it is as often used as "coyote thistle", if not more so. Also I am emailing with CNPS and *may* get permission to use their photo of E. constancei on Wikipedia! I have also become an "activist" for this plant as there is off-roaders going into the Loch Lomond Vernal Pool and doing brodies!!! I took pictures of the damage and mailed w/ letter to DFG and Boxer, Feinstein,Thompson, Wiggins and Berg. (I feel like I'm stepping into the circle of Barry, Brockovich and Butterfly).

Thankyou for your time. Sincerely, Marcia Wright (talk) 14:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Hi there. Feel free to update the article in any way you like! Thanks for your help! - IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 20:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The name in the plate in the photo for Sesbania sesban is a different species name. Badagnani (talk) 03:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

• Yup, looks like its a synonym. In fact, it's one of the synonyms you just added to the article. Same species though. I just dug up the pic on the Commons and thought I'd add it. Feel free to remove it though. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 03:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
