Dude, that's practically stalking :) I know he's a journalist, but even so... — sjorford (talk) 15:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
It's hardly un-obvious; he gave a list of all the articles he changed and the changes he made, so it's not hard to connect the two. I just wish journalists didn't have to conduct their own vandalism experiments every time they write an article about Wikipedia... smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 17:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Patrick,

Congratulations on the article. I enjoyed it. I'm a journalist myself. I've often considered submitting stuff to The Guardian. Any tips on who to contact. Slán. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:45, 11 February 2006 (UTC) BTW your edits improved the article IMHO.

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Peep Show (TV series) may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects.

All your recent changes refer to Jeremy marre which is incorrect - it should be Jeremy Marre --ArmadilloFromHell 19:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Rob Elmes. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary.

[edit] Keith Hackett

Hi. I have removed your hyperlink which purports to be a reference to his involvement in the You Are The Ref series by Paul Trevillion. Instead I have tagged it for a proper citation, as the information included on the Guardian Books site does not include his name, and even then citations preferably don't lead to a commercial site due to linkspam concerns. I happen to believe you are correct, but we must reference such claims correctly. I will be searching for a citation to put in, good luck if you find one first. Thanks.

Sorry, I could not find a reliable (not messageboards or forums!) enough source for the info you included. I still think a source will be found in the future, so have 'hidden' your addition in the page edit. I did add a referenced bit about their working together on the ref training DVD-ROM Referee Academy in February 2007, but that's the only collaboration which shows up on an internet search. Best wishes. Refsworldlee(chew-fat)(eds) 16:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Battle of Midway, you will be blocked from editing. DarthGriz98 15:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Steve Gibson (chairman). Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. :) Chetblong 16:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Stop adding a WP:SPAM link to Mass hysteria -- It's been removed multiple times by multiple editors, that should be a big clue to you that it doesn't belong there. DreamGuy 20:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Johnny Borrell, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. DreamGuy 20:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
