‎Nick "The Goat" Thompson

Hi, I worked on the page a little bit for you. Please don't include messages like "Do not edit this page", as it is discouraging to other Wikipedians when editing. It makes them feel as if they wouldn't be allowed to edit a page. Although minor, I reverted it. Remember, you created the page, but Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Also, chances are that editors would make good contributions to the article. Thank you! If you have any questions, you can go to my talk page by clicking on "91093" and leave a message by clicking the "+" tab at the top. Again, thank you for your contributions!

Yes, I may be able to revert the edits, but it depends on what happened. I will see what I can do. Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 04:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It was reverted by another user, so you need not worry! If you want, I can keep helping you. Cheers! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 04:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It's fine. I'll take a look at it. Just to let you know, I moved it to Nick Thompson. As a good rule of thumb, you don't put quoted nicknames in article titles. And I remember being a new user, too, so don't worry. You get used to the feeling afterwards. Perhaps you'd like to read some of the policies on Wikipedia. It clears up a lot of confusion on the 'pedia. Cheers, and happy editing! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 04:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. The reason was because you didn't put the closing tag at the bottom of the table (it should look like |}; see the difference). Cheers! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 04:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. If you ever need a question, feel free to ask me any time. Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 04:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Not sure if you know this, but did you know that you have your own user page? You can see it at User:Joh02639. Basically, you can put whatever you want on there, like information about you, and what you've done to Wikipedia. See you around! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 05:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Nick "The Goat" Thompson (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. If you made an edit that removed a large amount of content, try doing smaller edits instead. Thanks! // VoABot II (talk) 03:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I've restored your work on Nick "The Goat" Thompson I think the bot got it because of all of the external link. You might want to cut some out. In the future, you can revert to a previous version from the history page. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 04:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Nick Thompson 2008.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Nick Thompson 2008.JPG. The copy called Image:Nick Thompson 2008.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Nick Thompson do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://www.myspace.com/nickthegoatthompson) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
