Additionally, for using rollback three times to revert good faith edits, your rollback flag has been removed. You may rerequest it in a while, when you posses a full understanding of WP:ROLLBACK and WP:NOTVAND. Courcelles 03:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

On second thought, you had a warning just a week ago. You are blocked for 24 hours for edit warring and breaching 3RR on Natalie Portman. Courcelles 03:53, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Nonintercourse Act

Please advise whether my shorter version of the hook is to your satisfaction. Savidan 16:52, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

A quick second opinion

Assuming the article survives the merge vote, do you think Jared Lee Loughner would be acceptable for DYK as he is undoubtedly well known now, or not so because the case is still developing? Or does it depend on the hook? KimChee (talk) 00:07, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! KimChee (talk) 05:14, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

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

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.

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

DYK for Aravella Simotas

I added more, hopefully enough. Bearian (talk) 00:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you put back in this. The subject wanted her d/o/b out of the article, although it's mentioned in two publicly available sources linked to the article. She's newly notable and a bit nervous, I think. Bearian (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Apologies

I acknowledge and apologize for my personal attack on you back in December. I beleive you owe me an apology for your initial personal attack in thsi update where you called me a moron. Regardless.... I believe you also deserve the same warning I got for personal attacks.--Dr who1975 (talk) 02:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Your DYK comment about 03:34: Earthquake in Chile

I am okay with the rest of the article, but I am in a bind because the film is not out and WP:CRYSTAL is ringing in my head, especially without having seen such a summary published elsewhere. Do you think I should let this slide AGF? KimChee (talk) 12:44, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Interesting caveat. I will wait to hear back from the nominator, but I guess I will go easy on this one. Thanks. :) KimChee (talk) 13:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Talkback

Removal of data from the Brat Pack table

Hi PM, you have removed important data from the chart in the Brat Pack article without explanation (which is against Misplaced Pages policy), presumably in order to fit in the images that you added. If you would like to add those images to the article, do so in a gallery format, preferably at the bottom of the article. That way, they do not interrupt the article and the information you deleted remains. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 06:05, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

T:TDYK#Solsidan (Season 1)
