Hello Biglittlehugesmall65. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm S0091, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't commit vandalism
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

I see you're new here

edit

Hi! I'm Thanoscar21, and I just want to say thanks for helping to revert vandalism. It's always nice to have extra people working on counter-vandalism. Once you get to 500 edits, you can access some great counter-vandalism tools (such as RedWarn), and you apply to the WP:CVUA once you get to roughly 200 edits. I strongly recommend joining that program; it'll teach you a lot about this place. Welcome to Wikipedia, and have fun! Thanoscar21talkcontribs 22:20, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

How to report a vandal to the administrators

edit

Hello there, and thanks for helping revert vandalism! We at the Counter-Vandalism Unit really appreciate your contributions and work in combatting vandalism.I just wanted you to know that once a user passes their final warning, it's possible to report them at WP:AIV where an administrator will block them. Looking forward to seeing you at the Counter-Vandalism Academy soon! Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 20:31, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also, if you have any questions feel free to contact me by placing {{ping|Pahunkat}} on your talk page and I'll get back to you. Pahunkat (talk) 20:34, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Twinkle

edit

Hi Biglittlehugesmall65, I suggest installing the Twinke gadget in your prefrences, which makes certain tasks easier such as reverting, leaving warnings on User talk pages, reporting to AIV, among many other other tasks. S0091 (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

First, without provocation you think I’m vandalising Wikipedia. Second, without provocation you think I’m proliferating a hoax. Third, without provocation you revert my edits and you violate BLP. That behaviour implies you are a returning troll who edits Wikipedia for illegitimate purposes. Please stop. 79.65.67.19 (talk) 18:17, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply


Hey well than at least try to source it or be more professional/neutral about it, thanks Biglittlehugesmall65 (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

They are blocked now and you were right to revert them. Just remember to sign your messages/warnings. I noticed you forgot to do it with the warning you left this IP. S0091 (talk) 18:31, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Do you mind not changing my edits old chap 2A00:23C6:A58C:FC01:9C2A:771F:39F6:BB9D (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)Reply


Hey,

I see know that you are trying to use the gender-specific words for Eddie Izzard as she now uses she/her. I am sorry. It looked like you were just misspelling "comedian"

Election results

edit

Hi there, thanks for helping to update New Zealand election results. Please note that we have the convention that percentages are expressed with an accuracy of two digits. You might as well change things in accordance with that convention. Thanks for chipping in. Schwede66 22:11, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Schwede66: Hi, thanks for letting me know. I fixed a few election boxes, and I'll probably continue tomorrow. Biglittlehugesmall65 (talk) 23:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Nottingham Free School

edit

  Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Nottingham Free School. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you once again though for helping remove vandalism! AussieWikiDan (talk) 15:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@AussieWikiDan: I'm sorry. I guess after I got rid of some of the vandalism, I saw some more and tried to get rid of that too, never fully restoring the page to it's pre-vandalism state. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.

Thank you for letting me know!

Thanks...

...for that AIV report. I went one step further. Drmies (talk) 16:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

This edit

edit

Hello, did you mean to make this edit? You seem to have undone a positive contribution. HouseBlastertalk 14:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@HouseBlaster: Yes. I undid it because it broke the link. Nicolás Jaar's page is titled "Nicolas Jaar" (without the little accent mark). I just went in and fixed it so it says Nicolás Jaar so it has the right spelling without breaking the link. Biglittlehugesmall65 (talk) 14:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Biglittlehugesmall65: Ok! Thanks for clearing that up! HouseBlastertalk 14:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@HouseBlaster: No problem. Sorry for the confusion! Biglittlehugesmall65 (talk) 14:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Biglittlehugesmall65: No worries! Glad we could clear that up! HouseBlastertalk 14:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Carnegie.

edit

Hello. A simple recognition of mine, in a casually encountered article, denoting the sex of a human being being alarmingly declared "Vandalism" does surely allow us to reach conclusions about how complete the success of Carnegie's cultural endeavours have been. I don't feel a need to contend the point. For as long as Wikipaedia continues to exist, should not some means be available now or in the future to obliterate the Page's Edit History, the condoned "Vandalism" of the present age to the fact of their being men, and of their being women, shall perhaps, by the isolated attention now given to it, serve to be more enlightening to future ages of some people's early 21st. Century denials than a read- and-forgotten single word in a paragraph should ever otherwise have had. I've found reasons to be grateful for what might at first seem adversity before.

Kelc’h An Dael moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Kelc’h An Dael, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:38, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@CommanderWaterford: I understand, thank you for letting me know. Biglittlehugesmall65 (talk) 17:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi

edit

I see you are learning the ups and downs of counter-vandalism and doing quite well, can I recommend the WP:CVUA which gives you a brilliant foundation in all sorts of anti-vandalism related areas (I did it last year with tutor Cassiopeia who was a brilliant coach towards me!) I think the sock-puppet investigation you opened this evening should be ok, the check users/admins will figure out who's who there and thanks for reporting it! JW 1961 Talk 21:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Joseywales1961: Thank you for the recommendation. I'll look into it and see if it is something that I want to get into. And yeah, I do hope the investigation goes fine. I just don't want to do anything wrong considering it was the first time I submitted one. Thanks again for the recommendation, and have a good day! -Biglittlehugesmall65 (Look at me or Talk to me) 01:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Help

edit

Hello, once again! I want to know this time about where i can report vandalism. This article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sichuan%E2%80%93Tibet_railway&action=history seems to have a large number of negative values especially at the in the middle. I initially suspected it was vandalism and i still do, but i thought it would be best to pass on to pros like yourself :)

@LostCitrationHunter: Hi again! What I would do is warn the user on their talk page first. I looked through the edit history and it doesn't seem like the user has been warned yet, so you should probably do that first. I good counter-vandalism tool I use is called RedWarn. Set-up is easy, and once you have it you will be able to more effectively warn users with the wide array of templates. Once they have been warned several times and continue to vandalize, RedWarn should prompt you to report them to WP:AIV. Happy editing! -Biglittlehugesmall65 (Look at me or Talk to me) 20:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply


LostCitrationHunter (talk) 18:37, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your suggestion! I tried installing RedWarn but i got this message at the bottom. Chances are maybe its because RedWarn is available only for users above 500 edits and i have only reached about 120. But how do you usually open/use RedWarn though?

"Step 3: First time setup and troubleshooting

If you still see this message after a few seconds, there may be a problem. Follow these troubleshooting steps:

Make sure you're using a compatible browser, such as Chrome or Firefox. Safari (including all iPadOS and iOS browsers) are not supported. Hold SHIFT and click the reload button to refresh your browser's page cache Make sure that allow resources and scripts from toolforge.org through firewalls or other blocking tools Make sure other user scripts are not stopping RedWarn from loading. To test this, remove all other scripts but RedWarn from your common.js

If you're struggling still, feel free to contact us, we're happy to help at any time" :)

@LostCitrationHunter: Sorry! I didn't consider that there might be a limit on who can use it based on the number of edits. If an edit-count limit isn't the issue, then I'm afraid I might not be able to help you. Maybe try again later? For now, if you want, you can use this list of templates to warn users. Once the user has continued to vandalise after their last warning, you can use the templates on the WP:AIV page to submit a report. -Biglittlehugesmall65 (Look at me or Talk to me) 10:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
