Hi Badger,
Recently, I've begun work expanding Irritator, an article you created back in 2004. Input on how to proceed with this article is greatly appreciated, and I'd like to have your advice on how to expand or improve the article. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 09:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

GA sweeps: 4 Vesta
Hello, as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force, I have conducted a Good Article reassessment of 4 Vesta, to which you have been a major contributor. I have a few concerns that should be addressed if the article is to remain listed as a GA. If you are able to help out, the reassessment can be found here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:42, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Just a quick reminder that this article is undergoing a GA reassessment as part of the GA sweeps. It has been on hold for over two weeks, but several concerns remain. If they are not addressed soon, I will have to delist the article. Because it is part of the Main asteroid belt Featured Topic, this would also mean that the Featured Topic would be delisted. There's not much left to do, so any help you can provide would be great. The reassessment page is here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:48, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Nereidsim.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Nereidsim.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Replaceable fair use File:WizardOfOzTechnicolor.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:WizardOfOzTechnicolor.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:15, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Main page appearance
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on April 23, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 23, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The Shakespeare authorship question is the argument that someone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the works traditionally attributed to him. Proponents (called "anti-Stratfordians") say that Shakespeare was a front to shield the identity of the real author or authors, who for some reason did not want or could not accept public credit. Although the idea has attracted much public interest, all but a few Shakespeare scholars and literary historians consider it a fringe belief, and for the most part disregard it except to rebut or disparage the claims. Despite the scholarly consensus, the controversy has spawned a vast body of literature, and more than 70 authorship candidates have been proposed, including Francis Bacon, the 6th Earl of Derby, Christopher Marlowe, and the 17th Earl of Oxford. In 2010 James S. Shapiro surveyed the topic in Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?, in which he criticised academia for ignoring the topic and effectively surrendering the field to anti-Stratfordians, marking the first time a recognised Shakespeare scholar has devoted a book to the topic. Filmmaker Roland Emmerich's next movie, Anonymous, starring Rhys Ifans and Vanessa Redgrave, portrays Oxford as the real author. (more...)
Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

I'm writing an academic article on people-participation in the 'production' of Shakespeare studies.
I noticed that you had recently provided some edits for the Wiki Shakespeare page, and wondered if I might ask you some questions about that?
This project is at a very early stage so I've not yet refined or worked out a fixed methodology. So the questions are also not yet fully formed. (And I am aware that you also contribute to many other pages.)
1. What motivates you specifically to contribute specifically to the Shakespeare page?
2. Do you consider that your skills in this regard are general, technical, or specialist?
3. Have you contributed to other Shakespeare-related pages?
3. What's you opinion on how the Shakespeare page has evolved over time?
4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Shakespeare page in terms of its current form and content?
5. Who would you say are the target readers for this page?
6. What have been the advantages and/or the frustrations of working on the Shakespeare page?
7. What are your reflections on the process of wiki-engagement in terms of dialogue, connection, community and collaboration?
8. In your view, are there any other questions that ought to be considered?

Bearing this in mind, about the only Wiki-notable rock/pop band I can think of offhand where simple membership wouldn't be enough to count towards someone's two or more notable bands would be The Polyphonic Spree. 86.137.120.211 (talk) 13:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)]

File source problem with File:Iapetus1.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Iapetus1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Lyrcea
The article
I can't find any mythology sources that actually say this is the case. Ovid's Metamorphoses mentions that she flees the plains of Lyrcea, but never says she was born there. The best source I have is the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, but that's an astronomy source, not a mythology source - and worse, they don't cite their sources so there's no way to track where they got that information from.

Feedback Request
Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on WikiProject Theatre. I have been editing this article for over a month, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor of WikiProject Theatre, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much. Rubyredgirl (talk) 10:25, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Brice Stratford autobio astroturfing
The problem is not only poor sourcing, but fabricating citations, and spamming self-promotion with over 30 accounts. He gamed the system back in 2015 but now he's back with a handful of new socks and we're doing cleanup. So, some of the publications he cites are legit, others are fabricated. But even with legit publications, we don't know if he's being honest about content as he's lied about so much else. And either way, with so many policy violations, any of his sock accounts should be reverted at this point. If you want the history written about, and can do it with valid sources, that is fine, just leave this disruptive and deceptive, blocked user's self-promotion out of it. Don't let him use the 'pedia to astroturf anymore, OK? -
- Ok, I see the depth of this. Will roll up my sleeves and get to work on rewriting/cleaning some of these articles at some point, but I don't think I have the energy tonight. The Dancing Badger (talk) 20:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
