Hello to all at Wikipedia, I live in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. I joined Mar. 25, 2005. My interests include history, reading and, especially, British television and films. In 1978 I saw Vincent Price in the one man play Diversions and Delights, written by John Gay. It was set in a Parisian theater and Price played an aging Oscar Wilde relating memories of his life and works. The performance was extraordinary and started a life long interest in Wilde. The last decade has seen an outpouring of interest in, and publications about, Oscar and the people in his life. I have read most of it. I have, also, done a fair amount of research about his visit to Leadville, Colorado, and been privileged to stand on the very stage where he spoke to the citizens of that mining boom town in 1882. Update of Aug 10, 2006Editing here has been a fun learning experience as I have both made mistakes and helped to improve (I hope) several articles in my 17 months here at wikip. I am proud to say that I have talked at least three friends into becoming contributors here. I came upon this userbox today and it seemed a perfect description of what I like doing here so I thought that I would add it to my page. One of my favorite wikignome projects is to take Award (Academy, Tony etc) links that are red and turn them blue by finding the way that they are phrased on their wikipages. |
Articles started

I have finally taken the plunge and created a few articles on my own. They are mostly stubs about English actors and television shows. I hope that some of you wikipedians from the UK, and elsewhere, will add to, and improve, them when you have a chance. |

I am quite proud to have received this and I hope to continue to help in any way I can here at wikiP: Great job on wikipedia, expecially fixing small little tidbits here and there. I Arjun am proud to give you your first barnstar. You deserve it!
Having been a fan of this show for years this award is very special: This award is presented to MarnetteD for his sterling work cleaning up Doctor Who serial articles. Good job! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
This is an award of a different sort. It is a nice one to pass along to others so feel free to do so at anytime. Jupiter12 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
The pleasure of rewatching the series while working on its page has been enhanced by the reception of this award. For your hard work on the I, Claudius article, I award you this barnstar. Cheers! -- Merope 23:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Another smile that is much appreciated WarthogDemon has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! For patiently and tirelessly extending good faith (and playing The Heavy when necessary) on the George Harrison article. --prhartcom (talk) 19:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if I have the authority to do this but I am following the Wikipedia policy of being bold and awarding you: Thanks for all your hard work on the Zoë Wanamaker article! Zarcadia (talk) 11:15, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
I award you this VEA for eradicating the massive amount of vandalism on the page Dracula. Myself and the other RCP members appreciate your effort! Bped1985 (talk) 14:27, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

For your hard work on Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Vandalism by 201.19.*.* you deserve to have this barnstar. Good job! Minima © (talk) 12:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
This was simply the best, thanks for looking out for me. Best and cheers~! Dave ♠♣♥♦TMNo1185©♪♫® 02:10, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, MarnetteD. You deserve this prize as much as anyone for your unfailing courtesy. On behalf of the People Encouraging Niceness (and/or Eschewing Nastinesss) In Society Society, I hereby award you the PENISS Prize.
The prize is the highest (and sole) honour in the gift of the Society and is awarded irregularly, on merit. It entitles the awardee to the postnominal letters P.E.N.I.S.S. (in appropriate contexts, of course). It confers automatic membership of the Society, and it thus bestows the power to award the prize to others*, and they to others, in perpetuity. . Remember, the more PENISSes in the world, the better for all of us. What a nice thought. Please continue your good work! * To present this award to others, simply type {{subst:User:JackofOz/PENISS}} on their talk page, and then sign and date your post. Congratulations. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 01:13, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Because each day you come here and offer your time and experience, leaving Wikipedia a little better than it was before. Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 17:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Michael,
For all your tireless work in the background, particularly in removing non-sourced additions and vandalism from BLPs. When I see your name on the history, I know that is one mess that I shall not need to clean up! I do hope your tiresome visitor has left for good.— | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The Welsh Buzzard| — 21:29, 12 December 2013 (UTC) Thanks for your work on the Broadchurch page! Starhunterfan (talk) 12:57, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

You literally saw something and said something, and even hunted down experts outside of your domain Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 04:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
For removing the protection icons from articles where protection has expired. Day after day, week after week, by hand. Your hard work in this minor but important matter is much appreciated. (P.S. I wonder if someone can write a bot to do this? Because you do lots of other, more interesting stuff here too.) MelanieN (talk) 16:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations for having made more than 100,000 edits to Wikipedia! MelanieN (talk) 23:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations on reaching 100000 edits. You have achieved a milestone that only 345 editors have been able to accomplish. The Wikipedia Community thanks you for your continuing efforts. Keep up the good work!
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your determination and dedication to help the encyclopedia grow. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)
Editor MelanieN submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week: I nominate User MarnetteD to be Editor of the Week. MarnetteD has been here for more than 10 years and has made more than 100,000 edits to Wikipedia.

This nomination was seconded by User:L235 For your efforts to protect existing content every day. Much appreciated! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

So, I'm giving you this bar star since you are clearing the bare URL tag backlogs with all the automated tools currently down/broken ... so yeah, you are apparently doing them manually. Yeah ... that's some dedication right there. Steel1943 (talk) 02:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

For watching over a fellow editor's talk page while they are recovering from surgery. MelanieN (talk) 00:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Okay, so I don't always click the "thank" option on the numerous times you fix many of the rawlinks I can't fix using reflinks. I could. But I actually thought you might get irritated by dozens of thanks from me. But don't think I don't notice, and don't appreciate all that work you do. Gnomes like you make this project better. Kudos. Bravo. Well done old chap. Onel5969 TT me 00:12, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

While most dead link messages are dull there are some that have a creative and/or fun person in charge of making them. I've seen quite a few over the years and didn't think to record them. This rectifies thst.
