[edit] PROD
Hello. Here you commented that one should not remove the prod tag to contest deletion, but if you read the prod notice, this is actually exactly what you are supposed to do. See also WP:PROD. If you think this article should still be deleted, feel free to list it at AfD. NickelShoe (Talk) 14:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Understood. In the case in question, the other editor was not providing reasons for removing the tag in the edit summary. However, I see what WP:PROD says about bad-faith removals; so you're right - I should have gone straight to AfD at that point.AlexTiefling 09:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
Many thanks for helping fend off the vandals while Gregorian chant was on the main page. I wasn't prepared for the level of vandalism. It's heartening to know how efficient and diligent you WP admins and editors are to revert it! Peirigill 07:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More Spa nonsense
I caught that "contributor" at work on The Spa. I've left a note on his talk page about the propriety of doing that. 68.39.174.238 03:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
No, you got her ancestory correct. I count it by the way it use to be when Dukes were usually the sons of Kings or had royal ancestory in my study of geneaology. I keep forgetting about the British Law where non-royals were often given Duke titles. No problem. RosePlantagenet

Hi, you nominated this page for speedy deletion. I have speedily deleted it, but please take the time to inform the original creator of the page in future. Thanks, Proto::type 12:40, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] December 21 2012
Hi Alex, I wanted to let you know that I replied to you post on Talk:December 21 2012: You are right, it is not nonsense, an editor shouldn't have labeled it that way. However, since the information already appears in Maya calendar, this article was changed to a redirect page (the information should appear in one place). Thanks for your contributions!

[edit] Vandalism patrol on Egypt
I noticed you reverted some vandalism on the Egypt article. Please take a look at the article history [1] and notice that 165.138.95.74 made two consecutive vandalism edits in a row, before you "undid" one of them. This means the other vandalism edit stayed. It's always prudent to check the edit history for this, to make sure you have reverted far enough back. It's also possible for back-to-back vandalism to come from different IPs or editors. So, if I'm reverting back to another IP, I make sure their edits weren't vandalism too. Anyway, thanks for keeping an eye out for vandalism. --Aude (talk) 15:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
