Your edit

New users cannot file RfAs. — nathanrdotcom 15:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• New users can file RfAs. RfAs from inexperienced users are just highly unlikely to succeed. --Durin 03:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA, again

Please read Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship as to why your RFA is malformed.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Your request for adminship

Hi Wikipedialuva, I'm sorry to inform you that I've closed your request for adminship early because it was unlikely to succeed. For users to be granted admin status, they have to show that they are trusted members of the community. Individual editors each have their own standards for adminship candidates, but here are a few tips that may help you pass the next time round:

• Wait a bit longer before your next request. Many Wikipedians think that the length of time that users should be active on the project to get a firm grasp of all the policies and guidelines is roughly 3 months.
• Try to make some more edits. Administrators need to show they have a thorough understanding of policy, so it would be a good idea for you to contribute in wikipedia space, article space and talk space to show you can communicate with others.

You may wish to take a look at the admin coaching program, which would allow you to have your own coach who could personally direct you along the right path, or consider an editor review, allowing other users to comment on your edits and give you ways to improve. The guide to requests for adminship provides further considerations to make before applying again. Let me thank you for your contributions so far, and if you follow the above advice, there is no reason why you can not have a successful RfA in the future. Daniel 11:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Christian denominational positions on homosexuality may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 04:54, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on this article. Unfortunately, some of the previous text that you restored was a copyright violation (though it was not identified at the time), originally added by the IP 8.33.29.132. I've removed the affected text from the article. It is a copy of , for reference. DanCherek (talk) 03:53, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

@DanCherek: Thank you for discovering this and letting me know, I had no idea that the content originally posted by IP 8.33.29.132 was from that saintlukescollege.edu. I still feel like the history of the school is important to the article; would you have any objections to me rewriting the material and adding it? Wikipedialuva (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Please do, and thank you for being willing to re-write it in your own words – that's partly why I linked the source above. I don't have the time to do so myself, so I'm happy to hear that you're willing. DanCherek (talk) 04:08, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

I went ahead and rewrote the history section and provided an updated reference. Let me know if there is anything else I need to do for the article or if anything I wrote needs to be changed. Thanks again for letting me know. Wikipedialuva (talk) 07:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

It looks great to me from a copyright perspective (you might want to add a citation to the first paragraph in the History section though ). The copyright template at the top of the article will be removed soon, after an administrator redacts the past infringing revisions. Thanks again for rewriting the content!

Would appreciate it if you would explain why you undid my edit on List of Emmerdale characters (2021). Many thanks Blanchey (talk) 23:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Update: just seen it was an accident, never mind! Blanchey (talk) 23:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I clicked the button in Twinkle.Wikipedialuva (talk) 23:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Not to worry, and I apologise if I seemed confrontational in the first message, I should have noticed you undoing it saying it was an accident before making a comment. Blanchey (talk) 09:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Backpacker murders

Sorry about the revert mixup. Saw the vandalism in my watchlist but didn't realise it had already been done. By the time I hit undo to my edit you had already re-reverted it. Thanks JabberJaw (talk) 08:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

No worries! I've done it myself before. Wikipedialuva (talk) 08:22, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Modeled/Modelled

I'm not going to challenge the uw- you gave to user:Moussêíel Guillaume-Hertóux given their subsequent behaviour but just fyi, "modelled" is correct spelling in en-uk. So it was (probably) a good faith edit. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@John Maynard Friedman Hi John Maynard Friedman! I was not aware of the British spelling of this word, thanks for letting me know. After looking into it more, I agree that the user's edit probably was a good faith edit. I went ahead and deleted the warning that I left regarding this edit on the user's talk page. Once again, thanks for letting me know. Wikipedialuva (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

OTH, if you see "speling" it is (a) just wrong or (b) a literary reference to Nigel Molesworth, as any ful kno. The house always wins . --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Esketamine and major depressive disorder, apology

I hope you will accept my apology for biting you in this discussion, where my frustration about the article bubbled over at the wrong person, quite inappropriately. I hope this bad behavior on my part won't discourage you from continuing to do good work on Misplaced Pages, and I am sincerely sorry.
