Thank you for supporting my candidacy.—Theo (Talk) 17:36, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Links to commercial sites, especially if they provide no information about the subject, are not appropriate for Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and especially not a site to promote stuff for sale. Tverbeek 6 July 2005 12:46 (UTC)

It's also considered rude to delete messages from your Talk page, especially without responding to them. Deleting only critical comments is particuarly inappropriate. Tverbeek 6 July 2005 17:08 (UTC)

I didn't think there was a need to respond. I won't do it again - I was more concerned with the actual fact -that people make these fake buttons - than with that specific site, and using the site as an example. I thought I had the commercial site rule covered by having it as a source/reference/proof/example, whatever you want to call it. But if it's not ok, than it's that fine. I'll delete them from the other pages they're still on too, also because the links were not only commercial, but dead. I

I delete the comments, those that address a certain issue, once I have "dealt" with them. I leave the neutral ones because I usually don't have to "deal" with them in any way. If I had the time to figure out how to do it, I would probably have it all in an archive, like other people do, but I just don't right now. And of course, it's all still in the history, so anyone can check anything there. --newsjunkie 6 July 2005 19:30 (UTC)

Just wondering, are you the same "Newsjunkie" who runs The West Wing News Blog? - Scm83x 02:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a peer review of The West Wing at Wikipedia:Peer review/The West Wing (television) and I inviite you to take part in the discussion and help make the necessary changes as the community as a whole reviews the work that we have all done together on this article. Thank you very much for your work on the article! -Scm83x 06:59, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Did The West Wing live debate broadcast two episodes, one for the East and one for the West, or did they rebroadcast the East Coast feed as I had seen talk of on the TWOP? Thanks! -Scm83x 05:30, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have put The West Wing article up as a candidate for featured article status. I appreciate your help in this article's peer review. Your input and support in the FAC located here would be appreciated! Thanks! -Scm83x 08:55, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for supporting me in my recent RfA, which passed with a final tally of 56/1/0. I thank you for your confidence in my abilities. If you ever need anything or find that I have made an error, please let me know on my talk page. — Scm83x hook 'em 21:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What was your reasoning for removing the courtesy blank on Nicole Santos Facebook Hack? Inks.LWC (talk) 08:39, 12 May 2011 (UTC) I felt it was significant because it seemed unusual and something people could use info about. But I guess, we'll see how how much play it gets in the news tomorrow....--newsjunkie (talk) 09:11, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Bridget Moynahan, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 06:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Donnie Wahlberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bunker Hill. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. I tried to fix the problem, but couldn't see what it was until after you fixed it. 209.226.247.8 (talk) 02:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding rest of the writers, I admit I was a little too lazy to do it myself. newsjunkie (talk) 02:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The West Wing, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Bravo and HLN.

I applaud your efforts with adding content to West Wing-related articles, but could you please be more aware of how you add the content, and to do it to adhere to Wikipedia MOS formatting. I see you've been here for almost 20 years, you should be aware of formatting a citation using Template:Cite web. I've cleaned-up your entries over 20 times now and it's getting fairly tiresome. I've noted in my edit summaries of your issues, but you've yet to rectify any of these ongoing problems. You continually put commas after the ref tags (such as here which I fixed). You also put spaces before closing ref tags as I noticed in recent edits to The West Wing season 1, which is incorrect. With your recent edits to the season articles, you use the same reference almost a dozen times; you need to use ref names to avoid duplicate citations. Also, realistically, all that award information should just be in the Accolades subsection, because the ShortSummary parameter is just meant for a plot synopsis. If you feel you can merge that content into the Accolades subsection, that'd be great. I'll happily collaborate with you, I'm just looking for some cooperation in terms of your formatting issues. Thank you so much. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the awards information should also be tied to the episode information, because a lot of people are just going to be looking at the specific episode information and by putting it by the episode, it shows to viewers immediately which episodes/performances received particular recognition all tied together, rather than an isolated way, especially since there aren't episode pages for most episodes or if they are interested in watching particular episodes that got recognition. newsjunkie (talk) 16:20, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I notice that when editing and adding references you add what is known as a Bare URL. Simply putting a URL in between <ref> and </ref> tags is not the appropriate or complete method for citing published or web news sources. It results in other editors having to come in behind your additions and complete the remainder of the tags and clean up the references you have added. This is somewhat disruptive and unless other active and proficient editors are watching all those articles and the edits you make - some of those references may not end up having been completed afterwards.

To help avoid both situations, there are features in the editor to aid you in properly completing the cite fields - you can see a drop-down menu above the editor, labelled "Cite". Please make sure you thoroughly review the Bare URL link above, WP:CITE and Help:Citation_Style_1#Online_sources and use the available aids and tools to help you properly fill in and complete the necessary citation fields. This also helps preventing the need for other editors to come in behind you and clean up the references, while also improving your proficiency as a regular WP editor.

If you have any questions or need further assistance to begin providing complete citations - please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 13:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
