Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 03:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Mimi Rogers

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Mimi Rogers, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! --Yamla 14:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

This is a peculiar comment, because Acccording To The Misplaced Pages Mimi was in the March 1993 issue of "Playboy" in the USA. Do see "People who were in 'Playboy' in the 1990s. Further, Mimi Rogers herself was on "The Tonight Show" this week, and she and Jay Leno openly discussed her nude appearance in Playboy "13 years ago". Now, 2006 minus 13 equals 1993, Lo and Behold.

Mariah Carey

Please note that Misplaced Pages:Fair use criteria states free-licensed images must always be used if located, and that they should never be replaced by non-free ones. Also, the description pages for all non-free images must have a valid explanation of why the use of the image on Misplaced Pages consistutes fair use; see Help:Image page#Fair use rationale and Misplaced Pages:Fair use. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 00:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Up yours, you ingrate. And I did explain this is a free-use image distributed by ABC-TV. Like it or lump it. Some people need to learn to mind their own business: you do not OWN the Misplaced Pages or its article on Mariah Caryy,

Please STOP harming ACURATE AND FACTUAL ARTICLE: SUPERMODEL

PLEASE do not edit what I've confirmed. These girls are supermodels. I am a supermodel expert. I have dozens of magazines. Even go to thefashionspot.com, and EVERYONE THERE ARE HARCORE FANS OF SUEPRMODELS, AND KNOW WHO AND WHO ISN'T A SUPERMODEL. Lil Flip246 22:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

You have removed and re-edited OFFICIAL FACTS, and changed it around. i.e. You put Niki Taylor and Yamilia as coming out in the late 90s, when the truth is they came out in the early 90s! Please do not remove information and re-edit stuff of which you have no knowledge of. Lil Flip246 22:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Dale101usa"

You're crazy! As is stated elsewhere in the Misplaced Pages (Hah!) a Supermodel should be well-known individuals.

Putting little-known characters under the "Supermodel" character is crazy. The Key is to be well-known, not just to be known by some sort of cognostici (SP?) "in-the-know" individuals. By the way, Ms. Diaz-Rahi's first name only has one "i" in it - if you knew anything about Spanish and how things are spelled and pronounced. Furthermore, Yamila Diaz-Rahi was an UNKNOWN until she started appearing in "Sports Illustrated" in the Late 1990's, and the same applies to Nikki Taylor. Just because some 14-15-year-old does some modeling does not make her a Supermodel. This is a job that required some Maturity and Worldwide exposure....

A "supermodel expert"????? You've flushed your brain down the commode! The whole point is that to know who is a supermodel, you don't have to be any expert, just like to know who is the President of the USA or France, or the Queen of England, you do not need to be a Political Scientist...

List of Astronauts

Thanks for adding details to the List of astronauts by name. However, inserting personal opinions like "So What?" after an entry is not particularly helpful. If you feel the content is not worthy of a Misplaced Pages article, then be bold and edit or remove it and provide an explanation in the edit summary or on the talk page. Regards Rillian 20:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

==I think that indicating someone as "The first Jewish astronaut" or the "first Black Russian female cosmonaut" is irrelevant and rather dimwitted, and a big "So What". This fades into Deep, Deep Insignificance compared to "He/She was killed on thus and such spaceflight". Please put your brains into perspective about what is important and what is not important!

Cheryl Tweedy

Please do not remove content from Misplaced Pages. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Driller thriller 12:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Removing irrelevant NONSENSE is not vandalism - and so, you need to do some serious work on you vocabulary, and probably an overhaul to your brains, too.

Modelling/modeling

The word is spelled "modelling" in English and "modeling" in American English, so both are acceptable for use in Misplaced Pages, as this is the English Language Misplaced Pages, not the American English Misplaced Pages. You should refrain from editing articles purely to force a particular variant, but I'll leave your edit as is for the Estella Warren article, as it is about a US person.

Day of the Year articles

Regarding this edit: long-standing practice is that if someone has a Misplaced Pages article, they're automatically entitled to listings under 'Births and 'Deaths' on these pages. Please do not delete valid entries. --CalendarWatcher 13:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, please do NOT add editorial comments to entries, such as 'contraversial'. --CalendarWatcher 13:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Frank Jasper (Vision Quest) Article Scheduled For Deletion

Hi there, You have shown through your contributions that you're a fan of the 1980s movie "Vision Quest". I created an article on actor Frank Jasper who played the villian, Brian Shute, in the movie. I've also included information about what Dr. Jasper is doing now. Many people have wondered through Misplaced Pages and Imdb whatever happened to him, and I've tried to put this information out there for everyone. Unfortunately, some people think the article should be deleted for whatever reason. If you loved the movie as much as I did, please go to this link and voice your support before the article is deleted. Thanks a lot. I would appreciate your support very much.
