Welcome! edit

Hi Chsf, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

 
  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Speedy deletion nomination of Super sentai edit

 

A tag has been placed on Super sentai, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Unnecessary

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —Ryulong (琉竜) 01:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

STiki edit

{{Help me}} Does anyone know of a template to warn a user of STiki that their use of the tool could be seen as vandalism itself? Or any other advise regarding the problem. Thankyou in advance — Chsf (talk) 23:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, but how do you see the use of STiki as vandalism? If you have a specific user in mind, please tell me so I can further research it. gwickwiretalkedits 01:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
In this specific case the user (Wywin) reverted an edit (of Hello! Project [1]) on grounds of "good faith". The user guide to the tool says the following about "good faith" reverts: "Sometimes edits are clearly unconstructive, but lack the intent and malice that characterizes vandalism. [...] In this case, the change is undone but the offending editor is not issued a warning and the revert is not marked as minor. In most situations the edit summary should be tweaked to provide some explanation." The user did not leave any reason in the eidt summary for reverting the edit, but a rather unclear one at the editor's talk page (User_talk:78.146.79.210), furthermore the edit that was reverted contained new and relevant information to the article (this and the following is of course only my personal point of view, but I used to be a more active editor in a group dedicated to the subject in question), and marking the section in question as in need of a citation would have been much more constructive.

Having tested STiki myself today, I can see why there was never given any detailed reason in the summary, as I so far can't see that it can be done. Still, I think the editor should have chosen "Pass" or even marked it as "Innocent". Chsf (talk) 18:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to STiki! edit

Hello, Chsf, and welcome to STiki! Thank you for your recent contributions using our tool. We at STiki hope you like using the tool and decide to continue using it in the future. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Here are some pages which are a little more fun:

  • The STiki leaderboard - See how you are faring against other STiki users!
  • Userboxes - Do not hesitate to wear the STiki label with pride by choosing from a selection of userboxes!

We hope you enjoy maintaining Wikipedia with STiki! If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions don't hesitate to drop a note over at the STiki talk page and we'll be more than happy to help. Again, welcome, and thanks! West.andrew.g (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

 
Reading your talk page, I get a greater understanding of why you tried out the tool. Though reverts of pure "vandalism" are quite straightforward (and need to be, to expedite blocking and other punitive punishment), cases of "good faith" reverts allow for much more personalized and friendlier warnings (so we don't WP:BITE). If a STiki user consistently shows poor judgement in classifying edits, please bring it to our attention at the talk page. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Image hoax/Image vandalism edit

I'm looking on help to mark an image as a hoax/vandalism, one uploaded and then linked by the same user to the article on David Nemirovsky. After reading through various Wikipedia:-articles on vandalism, hoaxes etc., I tried marking it using the {{image_hoax, but that only shows up as "Template: Image hoax" (or similar). Thank you.

Brain Fag Article edit

HI!! Im taking a class for college, and we are working on culture bound syndromes. We had to find article on here and put our own definition to the term so we can better understand it. That's why I added that defintion. Could you put my defintion back on there until the 24 or 25, because it is for a grade and I have to linked the article to show that I did the assignment. If my definition was inaccurate maybe you could help me come up with a better one,I know the one I put wasn't perfect but I think it explained what brain fag is especially since I used the DSM-IV as a reference. I just put it in my own words. T.radelle (talk) 22:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)T.radelleT.radelle (talk) 22:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the feedback. My apologies for marking your edit as vandalism, after reviewing the article, I have reverted the revert. Chsf (talk) 10:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

STiki emergency edit

Proposed deletion of Josh Harris (musician) edit

 

The article Josh Harris (musician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable, independent sources. A Google search didn't turn up anything useful. No indication that Harris meets the general notability guideline.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:RZCD-45246.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:RZCD-45246.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Gwyn Jay Allen edit

 

The article Gwyn Jay Allen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Finding sources that mention or describe him is easy, but there's almost nothing that's independent and can therefore be used to establish notability. As such, he doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO or any other set of notability criteria.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
