Written Test edit
Please leave your response to each question where indicated.
- What is consensus, and how does it apply to Wikipedia policies?
- A: It is way on Wikipedia that we use to make sure that we incorporate all editors' views before making a decision. It's not voting, and not unanimity.
- You revert something thinking it's vandalism, but you get a rather irate reply on your talk page: "That's not vandalism! This is a serious fact covered my many research articles! How dare you accuse me of (insert type of vandalism here, as well as more complaints)!" You check, and sure enough, he's right. What do you do?
- A: Apologize, learn more about the topic and help him advance his article.
- You add a PROD tag to an article as it doesn't seem to be notable, but the article gets blanked entirely by the author (who was the only substantial contributor to the article). What should you do?
- A: Tag it with G7.
- You nominate an article for speedy deletion as a copyright violation. Two minutes later, the CSD tag was removed by the page creator. What should you do?
- A: Discuss with the page creator. Try to see his/her POV.
- I found an image on a website of a person that could be really useful in an article I'm writing about them. The website says that the image has been released into the public domain, so what should I do to upload it to Wikipedia?
- A: I guess you can just upload it to the Wikimedia Commons, it's public domain.
- Name the three "core content policies" on Wikipedia and what they mean.
- A:Neutral, Verifiable, and not original.
- You want to upload an image under a claim of fair use. Can you upload the image to Wikimedia Commons? Why or why not?
- A:No, Only free images can be in Wikimedia commons.
- If I wrote a template "foo" with this code, what would be displayed when I called it like this: {{subst:foo|article=Lorem Ipsum|Thanks again!}}?
Thanks for helping with [[{{{article|that article}}}]]! It's a great help. {{{1|}}} <includeonly>~~</includeonly>~~- A:Thanks for helping me with that article! It's a great help. Thanks again! The Determinator p t c 16:04, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- A user has been behaving really badly on Wikipedia. Talking to the user about the issue does not solve the problem. What should you do?
- A:It depends on what behaving badly means. If it's destructive editing then WP:AIV
- What do you wish to become on Wikipedia in the future? Probably an administrator? Or just a regular productive editor?
