message: Article is poorly sourced (though seemingly accurate);  there are a lot of Higher Ed publications that discuss B's role / mission,  esp. WRT sciences at Berkeley and the gender/hiring issues in Physics at MIT,  Berkeley & other institutions Birgeneua has been associated with.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by KenThomas (talk • contribs) 02:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe UC photos are paid for by tax payer dollars - so they should be available for use by the public - so, why do we have this blurry photo posted?--4rousseau (talk) 01:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "A further 2,363 faculty and staff stated" - if you look at the petition, it's clear that many (most?) of the signatures are not actually from faculty and staff. Can someone make this correction? Yunesj (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

message: He sent a follow-up letter saying that he had just seen the video, was shocked, and they're looking into it. Anyone want to make add this info? Otherwise, it's a biased article. Yunesj (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: Hello! 
My name is Vicky/eekiv. I was hired by Amy Hamaoui, an employee of UC Berkeley's Office of Public Affairs, to walk her through COI guidelines for contributions she'd like to make to this article (see her user page for her COI statement). I recommended that she only make contributions in her sandbox, and allow a neutral 3rd party (not me, obviously) to have the final say on what content is appropriate for this article, and for a neutral 3rd party to be the person to incorporate that content into mainspace. She created content on her sandbox, and I did basic bias editing for tone/language/encyclopedia-ness, and now we're looking for neutral parties to do a more substantial review of her work. Would you like to help? Please leave us a note either on her or my talk page, or if you'd like, please suggest edits directly in her sandbox. 
...and a PSA: I think that Amy is a really easy-going person to work with (and I think that about myself..but then again, I'm biased!). We're both aware that COI editing is a controversial topic, and we're both making our best efforts to be open, transparent and respectful. 
Thank you!! -Eekiv 06:54, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I removed this, it is important to some students and activists but it is not worth 3 quarters of this notable persons life story here in his article. I tried to concise it but found nothing of long term life story value, so I just removed it - the main article is still there and I neutrally rewrote the lede and added a link to the Occupy Cal article   - Govindaharihari (talk) 07:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
