Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 14:18, 14 January 2012 (UTC) Dear Mindmatrix. I reverted your deletion on the paleo diet page, as I thought your deletion was a bit too tough...peer review publications are not the ONLY reliable source in WP policy. Nevertheless I agree with you that this section was a bit out of focus as an introduction there, therefore instead of a deletion I moved the incriminated section down a bit and added a couple of links. Hope you see my point - regards MarmotteiNoZ 02:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notificationHi. When you recently edited King City, Ontario, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Temperate forest (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I searched "census" in the archives box of the notice board, but I didn't get any results for some reason. Hwy43 (talk) 06:30, 26 January 2012 (UTC) I simplified it into a plain external link rather than a {{cite web}} citation, mostly because I think the latter was broken. Anyways, I think it's serviceable now, let me know what you think. -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

QuispamsisHello. Can I ask you a favour? In 2008, after a talk page discussion, you moved Quispamsis, New Brunswick to Quispamsis. In 2010, someone came along and cut-and-paste the article back to the disambiguated title, and I guess nobody noticed. Would it be possible to move the article back and get the edit histories properly merged? Cheers, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool. For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :).

Neenish tarts, mindless edits and positive criticismMindmatrix, I can see that you are dedicated to improving Wikipedia, and that you have made valuable contributions. But, I suspect, judging from your edit on the Neenish Tart page (sorry I'm still learning technicalities of editing so no links or stuff) that you find negative criticism and mindless edits easier than assimilating information. What do I mean: here's the original:
Your edit:
My edit:
You did not read EIGHT more words in a sentence, yes I agree, edit {3} is better than edit {1}, but your suggestion would have lead to something like this:
Which, following your apparent desire for 'accuracy' would have lead to:
In other words you are too quick to criticise, doing so before reading entire sentences in this case, and this is probably why you seem to have attracted a small amount of hostility. I suggest you think about positive criticism, and about meaning rather than data.

I'm trying to consolidate some articles on closely related topics to the nebulous concept of Reputation management in order to improve the article. I saw that you were active on the Online identity management article and thought I would ping you regarding my merge suggestion. It seems like this concept is = to reputation management specifically for individuals. This is something I'll be covering in the main article on reputation management. There may be an opportunity to consolidate and merely explain the different concepts and language used in reputation management in one article. Thoughts?

others' comments in Talk:Pareto distributionthe comments, that you have just un-removed, are out-of-date (and mostly out-of-context). do you think that the owners of the comments will remove the comments at some point in the future? because otherwise, and i expect that, those comments will stink forever. there are also 2 sections ("Error in CDF formula for Pareto", "I got the wrong PDF?") that i'd like to remove, because they're out-of-date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.183.86.102 (talk) 15:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Canadian Citzienship TestHi there, thanks for your tips on the Canadian citizenship test page. My link has been classified by you as a promotion link. I just want to find out why you think my link is for promotional purpose. I think there are a few references on the same page which could be considered as promotional links. Some of the ref links even have paid ad on google. I am feeling a bit unfair here. Please let me know what you think. thx. Canadian Citizenship Test (talk) 15:33, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
