One Tree Hill[edit]
Hello, just to let you know I reverted all of your edits to the One Tree Hill page. On Wikipedia things have to be reliably sourced, we can't list things. They have to have notability. For example, the UK broadcast of 90210 is notable because there is third-party media coverage of how many networks fought for the rights. Jayy008 (talk) 18:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Sister links[edit]
Please stop adding sisterlinks to articles when the links have no articles about the subject. Thanks. —Mike Allen 05:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
July 2011[edit]
Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page 2011–12 UEFA Champions League worked, and it has been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Total Recall[edit]
Why would you think Total Recall (2012 film) needed more references, to be wikified, updated and cleaned up? [1] Is that a joke? —Mike Allen 22:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
August 2011[edit]
Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Friends worked, and it has been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Dolce (satellite television)[edit]
Why are you changing links from USA to SUA? --JaGatalk 22:43, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've just reverted you again. SUA is a disambiguation page - there's no sense in linking to it. --JaGatalk 17:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Fair use images and userspace[edit]
Per terms of WP:NFCC #9, the use of non-free images, such as File:FIFA 12 cover.jpg, are strictly prohibited from userspace. I have reverted your re-addition of non-free images to User:Cinema City Romania and User:John Smith. Please do not restore these images again, as it is a direct violation of policy. If you have questions about this, please ask. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 12:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:02, 15 September 2011 (UTC)If you are using two accounts..[edit]
Your account and User:Cinema City Romania seem to be the same person. If it isn't the case, I apologize for the misunderstand. If it is, please realize this is allowable (as long as you don't get around the block with the second account) but you should either declare this by putting this link on your user page, or in private by letting a checkuser admin know about this; these options are described at WP:SOCK#LEGIT and WP:SOCK#NOTIFY. --MASEM (t) 13:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
January 2012[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Diablo III, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. -- Fyrefly (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to 2012 in video gaming. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. -- Fyrefly (talk) 21:41, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Canyon Defense 2[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Canyon Defense 2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Livit⇑Eh?/What? 13:55, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
The article 8 Ball Pool Multiplayer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- I cannot find any reliable independent sources that can demonstrate the notability of this game. All I can find from searching are essentially links to play this game with very little else.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. --MuZemike 20:07, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
