[edit] Thanks (April 2007)

Hey, thanks for the vandalism revert! Natalie 23:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning vandals

Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you made on Pickled cucumber. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, AW 19:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting unprotection

Could you make representations on my behalf to have "Enda Kenny" un-protected? We have a General Election here today and I want to vandalise Mr. Kenny's entry too in order to add some symmetry. I'm thinking about how to vandalise "Pat Rabbitte" at the moment. Best wishes, U. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ura Cox-Okker (talk • contribs) 18:13, 24 May 2007

No. -- Why Not A Duck 18:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Ahh go on... pleeeaase. Oh well, I'm going off to vote now. I've had my silly bit of fun. No hard feelings please. All the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ura Cox-Okker (talk • contribs) whenever

No. Wikipedia isn't here for your silly bit of fun. And neither am I. -- Why Not A Duck 18:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I am really and truly sorry. Please accept my deepest apologies.Ura Cox-Okker 12:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jay

I saw your addition to Jay. Since the Toronto team is called the blue jays, and is linked on the Blue Jay page, is there a need for this section here? Jimfbleak 06:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a strong opinion on it. I wasn't the one who added it, 67.68.48.186 did. I just tidied it up so there wasn't a separate "Major League Baseball Usage" section and way too much detail about the team. This one part seemed like it might be worth keeping. Rather than removing, as part of my mere "clean up" of someone else's edits. If further clean up involves removing it entirely, well, I'll leave that to others. -- Why Not A Duck 18:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] trinity college

The recent reversion on trinity college is back to the original version of 400, million from the vandalised version of 700, million. If you would prefere to keep the nonscence version of 700 be my guest. Toload1 00:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

The sources seem to say 700 million (or something close enough to be consistent with it). Do you have a source for the 400 million? And I see no sign that the 700 million figure was added as an act of vandalism. -- Why Not A Duck 01:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stuff (cloth)

Thank you for removing recent vandalism 'Area 51'. This article seems to be particularly prone to it. Peterkingiron 13:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My edit to Middle Ages

I did intend to undo a change to Middle Ages, where a vandal inserted some random nonsense. I did a diff between the last two versions of the page, and that diff seemed to show that the nonsense was inserted in the most recent edit. So I undid that one.

But, even after my revert, the nonsense remained. Not understanding why, and fearing I might damage the page through further experimentation, I decided to leave the page as it was. Sorry for the noise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.84.167.31 (talk) 20:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll reply to this on user's talk page. -- Why Not A Duck 20:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

At's-a good. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linda Blair

So it is true! Very sorry here, would never have expected for that to be anything but vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Granf (talk • contribs) 19:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random thanks

Thanks a ton for helping out with vandalism. I had to drop by to let you know that I always giggle a bit at your user name, because it makes me wonder if that's what the people at Aflac said when they were trying to determine a spokesperson for their commercials. Undoubtedly, someone must have said, "Hey! Why not a duck?" :P Anyway, keep up the good work. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 04:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

A related question concerning your user name: Are you a fan of the Marx Brothers? =) — Cinemaniac (talk) 17:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Reviews

Happy New Year, Why Not A Duck! It's been a while since we last contacted each other, but I thought I could solicit your assistance. I've submitted two articles for peer review, and thought that you might be of some help in critiquing them:

  • Duck Soup. I've listed this article for peer review because, even though I and other editors have contributed much information and references, I'm certain that there are other aspects of this classic film that have yet to be covered. I'd like to hear feedback from you, so that I can get help in improving this (and other Marx Brothers films) quality.
  • Princess Leia Organa. I've listed this article for peer review because it right now seems oddly cluttered and, despite a lot of references as of now, lacks reliable source citations. Although I've already requested another peer review, as long as it helps the articles get better, I've got the time. Any helpful comments will certainly be appreciated, as this should help me in expanding other Star Wars-centric articles.

I value your input. Thanks. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 18:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP pagemove vandal

Fair enough -- but pagemove vandalism is still something I think we can't tolerate. I've reduced the block to 3 hours. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

The Barnstar of Diligence
For catching that mistake. Keep it up! =) Malinaccier (talk) 21:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Enjoy the first day of Spring!!!

Happy First Day of Spring!

[edit] WP:RD/C

Hi there I have re-added your comments on WP:RD/C as part of me undoing your accidental removal of other things (curiously though, my undo had disappeared in the history for some reason, maybe you've already undid it when I pressed undo?). --antilivedT | C | G 00:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

In short: I think that's exactly what happened. Replied on your talk page in more detail. -- Why Not A Duck 00:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] King Cobra

thanks for catching the vandalism i missed! it was me who removed the date-link. from what i've heard, there's a movement away from wikilinking to entries that don't relate to the given subject matter. i don't care too much either way, but i will see if i can find where i found that factoid. ttfn - Metanoid (talk, email) 01:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

hey, thx for restoring that. personally, i think it's fine one way or another, but i appreciate the reasoning behind some de-wikifying. lots of times i just de-link while i'm fixing something else, like with this pg. see you 'round! - Metanoid (talk, email) 04:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for informing me about being accused of vandolism and copyright violations. Those claims are nonsense at best. They make no sense. He is attacking me and User:Sesshomaru . Thanks again for informing me of this. - Prede (talk) 00:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This user

When I reported this user, he/she was on a spree of changing articles and the explination I got was, they are fictional characters that shouldn't be there. Why would they be there this long and no one else removed them. I, at first, assumed good faith, but after the numerous GF warnings I gave, he/she continued. I'm not familiar with the articles, do you see anything wrong with them? Dustispeak and be heard! 18:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
