Hello, Citizen-of-wiki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

You're welcome. I am glad I could help. It is understandable that you might miss the personalized details of the article. However, these are encyclopedic articles and need to be written in a particular style -- the guiding principles being facts, non-opinionated writing and reliable third-party sources. (The Wikipedia:Wikipedia in brief page gives a good quick overview with links to fuller explanations.) Objectivity isn't always easy to maintain if one writes about a subject to which one is close. This is the reason WP reminds people about conflict of interest. If you have questions, let me know. Otherwise... best of luck on your future articles. Cheers. — CactusWriter | ^needles 14:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing improvement was spot on -- and the addition of the citation made it perfectly acceptable. — CactusWriter | ^needles 07:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A warm welcome as out newest member, let me know how I can help you!

Articles tagged for deletion and rescue Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found Hi, Citizen-of-wiki, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification. Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages. The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion. Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Ikip (talk) 17:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just to let you know that another editor has a suggestion for you regarding the copyright status of the NATO videos that you uploaded, here. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to check, do you have any interest in taking the course of action suggested? Cordless Larry (talk) 12:02, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I sent an email, however, I have not received a response yet. Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions. Citizen-of-wiki (talk) 05:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I prefer the numbers used in the placemat, but don't have any objection if you want to add the numbers for the real total. Xnacional (talk) 03:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. I added a rounded total and an actual total per discussion resolution. Let me know if you are comfortable with the changes I made. Please don't enter into an edit war. If you don't like my changes then please tell me and I will make the necessary changes or completedly delete what I added. Unfortunately, some of the older NATO/ISAF placemats are not rounded. Also, sometimes the placemat is rounded up and sometimes it is rounded down. Citizen-of-wiki (talk) 12:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like what you've done. Thank you for asking me for my opinion. Xnacional (talk) 17:28, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are very welcome. Thanks for being an editor on Wikipedia.Citizen-of-wiki (talk) 23:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citizen of wiki, I propose to split the statistical tables away into a new article, maybe ISAF troop number statistics, which would reduce the article size (it's 107kb) and also mean the article stabilises a bit. Would you have any objections? Buckshot06 (talk) 02:48, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I am seeking independent and neutral viewpoints on the article ThoughtAudio, which is being considered for deletion. If you have a few minutes to review it, I would appreciate your article contributions and opinion on the decision as to whether it merits being retained and improved, or deleted. ThoughtAudio was targeted by the same editor that made a failed attempt to delete the wikiquote article Michael Scott Gallegos. There are only 3 reviews/votes so far. I am hoping that a minority viewpoint as to the worthiness of the article will not prevail. My work is mainly in the creation of new wikiquote articles @ELApro and time is rarely spent in unproductive controversy. I am a long time editor for Wikipedia, but have not created many articles here. I would much appreciate your advice and/or contributions with regard to the process. ELApro (talk) 23:08, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Isaf-placemat-16April2010-gunnmap-percentages.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. MGA73 (talk) 16:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article Supercub the Lion has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV- all sources are focused on Christian the lion, and this one is not notable just by association (WP:NOTINHERITED)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
