Law & Order episodes
Why are you creating multiple empty articles for L&O episodes? Would it not make more sense to create one article at a time, with all of the necessary information for a stub, to start with, then all of these empty shells which then have to be filled? All of these empty articles meet the criteria for speedy deletion under Db-a3. I appreciate your efforts, please do not misunderstand me, but I think this approach is counter-productive. ---
- Given the speedy delete requests that have been successful, and the ongoing AfD, I would wait about creating any more articles in the main namespace. But, you can create articles, or basic outlines for articles, as subpages of your user page. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jdlankin/In_Vino_Veritas would be a good subpage for the L&O article you created. You can also request that an administrator move the deleted articles to relevant subpages, which would make it easy to recreate them when and if you prove notability. That is an issue currently being debated on the open AfD. You should let your opinions and thoughts be known there. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. ---The'FortyFive' 23:52, 17 September 2009 (UTC)]

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. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 03:00, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

New Law & Order episode pages
Hi. While I applaud your enthusiasm, I don't think that it is a good idea to be mass creating so many articles on Law & Order episodes. Most of the articles are a one line description of the episode, along with the standard cast plot. It may be a better idea to work on improving the articles in a singular list, as this follows a standard procedure of Wikipedia. See
- Have a look at List of Law & Order episodes (season 1). The table format is easy to follow, so I hope you'll be able to improve those articles initially. I've been cleaning up and improving the main List of Law & Order episodes pages, and will be heading off to do the other seasons next, so I would appreciate if you could help. :) \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 20:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)]
- Thank you for the feedback. I see what you mean by the Simpsons articles. I started by noticing on the List of Law & Order episodes page that even shorter articles had already been created with only the six main cast members and the short summaries. Since these shorter articles had been created and not challenged, I added guest cast to them and then created other articles by following the same pattern. Now that at least some of my additions have been reversed, these articles remain in their originally shorter form. I will add more detail to my future submissions. But I'm not clear as to why these originally skeleton articles were created or remain unchanged.

Disambiguation link notification for September 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kenneth D. Taylor, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Victoria College and BA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Date formats
Hello. I noticed that you have changed some date formats recently in several articles. Please don't change the format of dates where an article has evolved using predominantly one format. As a general rule, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. It is also important to maintain a consistent format throughout the article. You can find more information at

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Tom Flanagan (political scientist) may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Your edit to article John Steinbeck
Hi! I noticed you made an edit to John Steinbeck that broke the formatting of the table of Steinbeck's writing. Please, when you make an edit, check the results in the preview, making sure that you have not accidently created problems. Editing tables are not the easiest kind of edit to make; as you can see, if you look at the table after your edit, there may be unintended consequences. I have reverted your edit. If you wish to add information to the table, I suggest that you copy the source code for the table to your sandbox and experiment there before making the edit to the Steinbeck article. — Neonorange (talk) 16:09, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
