User talk:VI

Welcome to the Novels WikiProject

Hello and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books, often referred to as "novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject Novels announcements}} there.
  While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}.
• Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• Planning on starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the coordinators or an experienced member of the project; we will be happy to assist in any way we can. Again, welcome, and we look forward to seeing you around! Alan16 ^talk 22:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hello Jozal, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism/spam, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 17:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

The Apprentice (UK Series 5)

Hi, the names for the Apprentice weeks came from the clips/previews/interviews etc. on the official website, with the exception of week 5 which was simply called "The advertising challenge", so I made up my own for that :) wardy290 18:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for help

Sims 3 Leak Removal

Go to <removed> and type in Sims 3 and see for yourself, doesn't take that much effort you know? (I'm not the guy who made the section) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.122.239.19 (talk) 10:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Eh? I'm not saying the stuff about the leak shouldn't in the article, just don't promote sites that offer downloads of the game because it's, you know, illegal. Jozal ^(talk) 11:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

User Swazamee

Hi VI I just wanted to tell that the user Swazamee is making unconstructive edits on wikipedia. I ve seen that he made a bad comment on the Wikipedia article. Please check and keep up the good work ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aceleo (talk • contribs) 20:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Dorset needs YOU!

What?

Since you are listed under Wikipedians in Dorset, I am hoping you may be interested in saving the article on Dorset. The article was promoted to featured status in 2005, when the standards for FA were not as strict, and therefore it is soon to be reviewed once again. Currently the article, if only for lack of references, would fail to pass the Featured article review.

How?

Your help, however much, will be vital in keeping this important article at FA. At WikiProject Dorset, the WP devoted to Dorset-related articles, we will be helping to organise restoration of the article. As well, there will be discussion on Dorset's talk page. If you know anyone else who may be interested in helping, contact them and/or copy this into their talk page. Please, do get involved!

Kind regards, MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks VI. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

no question

I think that they put that there because the article is up for deletion.--Cubs197 (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I wondered if I could request your help. There is a sockpuppet accusation going on on my page and wondered if you could check it out and provide a neutral party opinion. Thanks. --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 21:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 22:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

This is bad

I have no idea why I am being accused of vandalizing. I was accused before by someone and apologized later for the accusation because it was a mistake. And now you are doing the same. Why are you making Wikipedia so user unfriendly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Changemaking (talk • contribs) 13:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Firefly (Companion)

Hi. In Firefly, Inara Serra is in fact a type of prostitute (One of the characters on the show, Malcom Reynolds, calls her a whore). Calling her an 'entertainer' and 'courtesan' is misleading. So, I think bots are automatically flagging the word as offensive, when it is in fact used to factually describe a profession.

For example, the firefly wiki page describes her as frequently participating in "a form of state-sanctioned prostitution", apart from being a courtesan and entertainer.

Also, It's not nice to accuse people of vandalism and then simply keep quiet regarding the changes. Atlteast discuss it, instead of simply reverting it and accusing me of vandalism?59.92.54.117 (talk) 13:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
