- Phew! I thought I was edit warring (3RR, you know...) --Highspeedrailguy (talk) 18:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
What was the point...
of this? Adding a statement with a citation needed tag makes no sense. If you know the record was passed, cite the source you heard it from. If not, don't add it. PrincessofLlyr talk 18:14, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Also, please note that Simple has a one-strike rule regarding blocked/banned users from other wikis, meaning that you will be under very close scrutiny. PrincessofLlyr talk 18:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Unreliable refs
Please do not insert unreliably sourced content into LOL, as you did here. Those Google definitions are all taken from Wikipedia and Wiktionary, which cannot be used to source Wikipedia articles. I will find a more reliable reference. Thanks, Goodvac (talk) 23:25, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- So there's still WP:RS here... --Highspeedrailguy (talk) 12:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, RS exists on all Wikipedias. Without this policy, people would hold even less credence in Wikipedia articles than the little amount they do now. Goodvac (talk) 20:10, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Additional accounts
Due to your history and blocks elsewhere you are hereby restricted to using this one account for all you edits at simplewiki. I have found abd blocked indef two account via checkuser. Take a look at the one-strike rule, it applies to you! Have a nice day :) fr33kman 07:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey, that discussion was just archived. If you want to discuss it with Fetchcomms, then activate your email and use this link. This way it can be private. Plus you need to discuss this with him. Seriously. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 00:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I had a scary night, so I'm probably not going to do it now. Two tornados struck a few miles away, and I'm fetching around with homework and stuff. --Highspeedrailguy (talk) 15:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh. I'm sorry, I live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and I've experienced a tropical depression and two tsunamis. Also on a vacation to the big island i saw a volcano emitting Sulfur Dioxide. Yech. Exciting but scary. Oh, and I replied. Click "Hey, let's Collaborate!" to head to my talk page. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 21:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry you're offended. I've been offended loads of times. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 21:04, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's not that I'm offended by your comments, it's someone else's comments. --Highspeedrailguy (talk) 13:13, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- That's what I meant. But you don't have to take a wikibreak. Just ignore them. I'll teach them a lesson once they go insult ME! Hey, I'm waiting to contact DemiUrge1000. How about we write articles on WP:Warriors? Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 04:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not a big enthusiast of Warriors; but I'm willing to help. I'm more likely to be working on railroad-related articles. --Highspeedrailguy (talk) 14:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Uh, ok. I could have been your mentor if you'd wanted. I'm not trusted by everyone but most do trust me. I even have a help desk. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 00:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Warriors
Excuse me but I want my page the way it was. Please! Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 19:50, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Explanation
My declining of the R700 quick deletion wasn't anything against you; it was just because I thought I could improve the page instead of deleting it. Keep up the good work! Kansan (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Cheery reminder
— μ 21:03, Tuesday April 5 2011 (UTC)
- Hey there. Would you be willing to limit the repeating characters in edit summaries? It's stretching the page for me and making RC a little difficult to look at. Keep using edit summaries, but I do ask you just downsize a little. Thanks! :) --Gordonrox24 | Talk 21:38, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- I was testing to see if the twinkle box would limit the number of characters. Apparently not, they should fix that. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- The limit, if I recall correctly, is currently 255 bytes (equivalent to 255 ASCII characters, but less in other writing systems. As for the testing, please don't do that. — μ 23:18, Tuesday April 5 2011 (UTC)

Non-admin closures
Please do not closure RFDs like you did at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2011/List of ThunderClan characters. Non-admin closures are reserved only for non-controversial, unanimous keeps after a full week has passed. It is not to be used in controversial decisions such as the one you made here. Either way (talk) 00:56, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Especially don't do it after you already !voted in the discussion! I would encourage you to undo the closure. Gfoley Four 04:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Reverted. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 11:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
[1] is not helpful. Ok, you've reverted your close which is a good move, but the language is unacceptable. Please refrain. Goblin 11:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Jersey!
- [2] is also as equally unhelpful. If you're going to use edit summaries, please take them seriously and don't mess around with them. I note you've already been warned for doing something similar above. Goblin 11:49, 6 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Yottie!
Warnings
Howdy, after giving a final warning and reporting the user to WP:VIP there is no need to keep on issuing further warnings to the same vandal that say the same thing - if they haven't got the idea to stop yet then they probably won't, and it just clogs up the page unnecessarily. Thanks, Goblin 13:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Yottie!
- You mean en:WP:DENY? --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 13:45, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Or just plain clogging up the page? --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 13:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- I mean what I said - plain clogging up the page. Four or five "final warnings" saying exactly the same thing ("This is your last warning", etc.) is of no use nor ornament and just clogs up space and adds nothing further. Goblin 13:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Yottie!

Bot edits on nl-wiki
Could you please refrain from automatic edits on nl-wiki welcoming new accounts who have not yet done any edits. Thank you for respecting the local policy in advance. MoiraMoira (talk) 16:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 16:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Revert
Use of revert should only be used for vandalism. Where an edit has been made in good faith, eg. the Aztec edit, please use "undo". Even if they manage to accidently delete the cross wiki links! --Peterdownunder (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll be more careful next time. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 12:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Your first book
Congratulations on completing a month of editing, with over 1000 edits. Here is your first book, or you could change it for a ribbon, or a medal, or all three! --Peterdownunder (talk) 12:04, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yay! Thank you! --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 12:36, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Quick deletion of User:SEPTActaMTA8235/TEST
The page you wrote, User:SEPTActaMTA8235/TEST, has been selected for quick deletion. This is because the page was a test page. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 18:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Help!
{{helpme}} I assume AWB guidelines are the same here...can someone add my name to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage as I have more than 750 edits to article space? Thanks, SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 20:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

- THANKS!
My first barnstar! (well, here, at simple.wiki) --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 17:28, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Re:
Thanks for commenting first, not immediately banning us and undoing the changes.Lion11 (talk) 18:20, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
This.
It's generally considered bad form to "pounce" on a page that someone else is/was editing within seconds of the original edit made and is better to give people time to fix it - especially something as trivial as that. I was already in the process of fixing it and making a couple of other fixes to the nomination but then edit conflicted. Don't be so trigger happy. Goblin 19:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ The Rambling Man!
Clearly you didn't read what I just wrote and have immediately archived it, which is, in itself, bad wikiquette. Please stop. Goblin 20:13, 12 April 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky!
- Okay, okay. --SEPTActaMTA8235 20:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
All caps
Please don't do things like this again as it is considered yelling on the internet, remember to be civil. Thanks. chris†ianrocker90 07:46, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- That's right. Sometimes I'll slip like, "WHat am I meant to do?" but that's just me holding the shift key a a second too long. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 22:53, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Um, that comment was unnecessary. --SEPTActaMTA8235 12:25, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
White space edits
Edits like this where only whitespace is changed should be avoided. I see you did this a very large number of times. -DJSasso (talk) 14:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Please preview
Please use preview for your edits more frequently. You are making a lot of small edits/fixes that can all be made in one edit rather than several small ones. These edits flood recent change and are unnecessary. Thank you, Either way (talk) 13:13, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- And please stop with pointless changes like Today's date. Either way (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
List of US cities
I have reverted your edits to the list of US cities by population article. Everything you added was a copy and paste from the English Wikipedia's article. You did not give that article credit. You also did not put it into Simple English. Please be sure to follow the guidelines for writing Simple English articles in the future. Either way (talk) 13:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- But then (the table, only the table) is out of date. --SEPTActaMTA8235 11:40, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Then add the information in appropriately. The way you did violates our copyright policy by not giving credit to the English Wikipedia. It also was not simplified. Either way (talk) 14:25, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Archives
You should actually get MizsaBot to archive your talk page. That way you won't waste edits archiving your talk page and you won't be able to escape answering questions. I'll configure the bot to automatically archive your talk page every 15 days, maximum archive size 60 KB. I've got the bot configured on my page, I'll do it for you. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 00:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I have configured it. Loudclaw/Hey, let's collaborate!/Desk/WP:Warriors/My changes 03:53, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, but. --SEPTActaMTA8235 11:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Unnecessary
Change comments such as this are completely and totally unnecessary. Please be aware that you are getting dangerously close to a block for project disruption. You are making pointless edits, even when warned to stop. You are using inappropriate and aggressive comments. You are not following copyright guidelines or writing in Simple English. All of this can and will result in a block if it keeps up. Thank you, Either way (talk) 14:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Chemistry
Can I ask why you reverted my edits? I can't see any reason why they would be worthy of a complete revert? --90.197.91.238 (talk) 16:38, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, please provide a reason for why you reverted this. This seems improper to me. Either way (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
