Next time you are in Melbourne, the headquarters of Lonely Planet (LP), why arrange a meeting with a proposal? I've had this idea for a while, but never contacted them. Here it is: Each town, say in India, has a little section in the book. Hotel owners in these towns revere LP and know how good it is for business, so they gussy up their hotels to get favourable write-ups. But, last time I checked, LP does not have a rating for the cleanliness of each town. So, each book purchaser could become an ambassador and be allowed to up or down vote the town. That rating would go into next year's edition. Each town would end up competing to be the nicest looking and cleanest. The town heads and hotel owners may see to that. Ambassadors could even visit the town heads, who are always very, very easy to find. It could change the entire complexion of the country. No more rubbish here and there. Tourists (people who use LP are not "travellers") get cleaner towns. India gets cleaner. LP comes off smelling like roses. Newspapers would pick it up. They sell more books. Everybody wins. Thoughts?

RollbackHello again, and thank you for your clear application. After reviewing the relevant things I have granted you rollback, and therefore offer you some advice in addition to the policy and any templates. Please note it carefully - it is not criticism but genuine advice for the deal you have just made. Widespread rollback and reverting in general, in my view, is responsible for a lot of problems. In comparison to normal editing methods it stunts article growth. When someone is editing in good faith and undone without any explanation, this is also a problem. It creates extra work for RCP'ers and admins, including people like me. I spend a high proportion of time checking reverts and going further back into revision histories to find vandalism which has been skipped over by either bots or rollbackers, and I often find it. You will know that rollback only reverts edits by one user, in some anti-vandal software (which I don't use) you are only presented with the latest edit. Reverting that edit can leave a dangerous amount of vandalism in articles, indeed this is the basis for an established vandal practice, so I encourage you to always look deeper, if not before then immediately afterwards. "Popups" is very useful for this. Reverting someone who is blanking a page is always so tempting, but it again requires caution. If I see a rollback which restores BLP violations I will be extremely unhappy and undoubtedly let that be known. Rapidly reverting on a single page is highly disruptive, grab an admin or get talking. My penultimate advice is that the warning templates are badly worded and no substitute for an actual message (which will be given equal weight by admins). In short, rollback and template warnings should be the last tools to use. Lastly, as a message also to others, what admin giveth admin can take away. Anyone unhappy with you with rollback can also complain to me, and any admin is welcome to remove it. Again this is a generic message. Be careful, take it easy, enjoy. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:33, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
DudukHello! I have changed the page for "Duduk" to reflect the true Armenian name of the instrument and not the Turkish loan word. Duduk is still clearly mentioned in the article and the only changes that have been made is to replace the word "duduk" with the correct/traditional name "tsiranapogh". These changes have not, in any way, negatively effected the validity of this page - only improved on it. HyeSK (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2016 (UTC)HyeSK

Retrieving deleted page - Shield HealthcareHi - I had created a new page called Shield Healthcare, but it has been deleted before I got a chance to respond. Please could you help retrieve the material ? I didnt save a local copy and would appreciate the help. Also, please note that I did not get adequate time to respond to the speedy deletion notice. People work across timezones, overnight etc. Your deletion policy is too abrupt and does not provide adequate notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lnsampath7 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trainspotting Live, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Flying Scotsman. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
