Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Septrillion (talk) 03:19, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Questions, questions, questions
Hi there. How's your first few days on Wikipedia going? - I saw you asked a question about one particular first paragraph, so I have made a further tweak to the lead paragraph at Rockingham Speedway and removed the 'too long' template, which you queried. In fact, you queried this at the Talk Page of the Teahouse, which I'm afraid is only there for discussion by experienced editors of how the Teahouse is actually managed. It is not there for newcomers to ask questions. So I'm sorry if you misunderstood this, but I now see you've also asked other questions at the right part of Teahouse. I'm sure you'll want to try not to post on that particular Talk Page by accident again, so I have removed your posts there and tried to answer them here for you instead.
You also asked on the Teahouse Talk page about what's required to be a GA assessor. No disrespect is intended, but this is quite irrelevant for you so early on in your time here, and you will need to gain considerably more experience (and indeed confidence) in general editing of articles before this ever becomes something that concerns you. But do follow the link I've just given you should you wish to read more on that topic. I don't mean to be rude by saying this, but you have surprised me by how little article editing you have done in relation to the number of questions you've asked, and the edits to your userpage. Of course, asking questions is a really great way to learn, but so is trying to find stuff out for yourself, and we do invite new editors to take that initiative, too. See Help:Menu, or in the normal Wikipedia search engine try typing "WP:" followed without any spaces by a keyword on the help topic you want information on. Just leave out the apostrophes and you may well see one or more options dropping down, pointing to help pages relevant to that keyword. To help you even further, I've left one of our welcome messages full of lots of useful links and the top of this page. That can stay there and be a useful source of further links for you. By the way, why not visit The Wikipedia Adventure? It's a fun, engaging and interactive tour of Wikipedia which allows you to collect up to 15 badges on your userpage for achieving various levels.
So, good luck with editing the world's greatest encyclopaedia. I'd suggest you just simply get stuck in and learn by any mistakes you may make, and do try and discuss any issues about articles on the relevant article's talk page, or with individual editors, whenever you can. When you do really get really stuck with an editing problem, feel free to come back to the Teahouse with relevant questions. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 10:41, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

- DiGard Motorsports (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to Short tracks
- Rockingham Speedway (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to ARCA

Adoption?
I was wondering if you'd like to be adopted. Septrillion (talk) 23:22, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tin you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Double sharp -- Double sharp (talk) 08:40, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
- Good luck with your intention to raise Tin to Good Article status. I will not be participating, because I do not have any useful knowledge about tin. David notMD (talk) 21:16, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 08:26, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Bonadea:-I wanted to stop the discussion about it. OK, sorry. Kpgjhpjm (talk) 08:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- You are within your rights to delete stuff on your own Talk (such as this exchange), but not at article Talk or Teahouse. Best way to stop a discussion is not start one. David notMD (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
The article Tin you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:Tin for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Double sharp -- Double sharp (talk) 06:01, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
You are being impolite
It is impolite to downgrade the importance or class of (car race) articles when you have not been one of the authors that created or worked on the articles. Is there some external criteria you are using to decide which race track events are low versus mid, or Stub versus Start, or is it just your own opinion? David notMD (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Sorry Kpgjhpjm (talk) 06:03, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Was just checking
The WikiProject has been the target of an LTA (long-term abuser) sockpuppet. There's no way to tell if an account is him or not without checking.
TonyBallioni screens accounts to make sure they are not him. He assures me you are the not the one we are defending against.
So, no, I have no problem with you.
For details, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals#Discussions about cleanup of WP:SOCK aftermath.
Welcome to the WikiProject. — The Transhumanist 13:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- @The Transhumanist: Sorry , I misunderstood you . Kpgjhpjm (talk) 15:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- No worries. It would make me wonder, too. I look forward too seeing your contributions on portals. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 20:32, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Portals WikiProject update #007, 31 May 2018
We have grown to 89 members.
This is the seventh issue of this newsletter. For previous issues, see our newsletter archive.
Welcome
A warm welcome to our nearly one dozen new members...
Our new members include:
- Evad37
- Checkingfax
- Grey Wanderer
- Voceditenore
- TestPAKISTAN
- Godsy
- Greatedits1
- Charlesdrakew
- Ww2censor
- Simon Burchell
- TheGridExe
Be sure to say "hi" and welcome them to the team.
The portal set has shrunk
There were 1515 portals, but now we have 1475, because we speedy deleted a bunch of incompleted portals that had been sitting around for ages, that were empty shells or had very little content. Because they were speedied, they can be rebuilt from scratch without acquiring approval from WP:DRV.
Maintenance runs on the portals set have begun
This is what we have been gearing up for: upgrading the portals en masse, using AWB.
More than half of the Associated Wikimedia sections have been converted to no longer use a subpage. This chore will probably be completed over the next week or two. Many thanks to the WikiGnome Squad, who have added an Associated Wikimedia section to the many geography-related portals that lacked one. The rest of the subjects await. :)
The next maintenance drive will be on the intro sections. Notices have gone out to the WikiProjects for which one or more portals fall within their subject scope. Once enough time has elapsed for them to respond (1 week), AWB processing of intro sections will begin.
Thank you, you
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your part in the RfC. I went back and reread much of it. I believe your enthusiasm played a major part in turning the tide on there. I'm proud of all of you.
Why reread that mess, you ask?
To harvest ideas, and to keep the problems that need to be fixed firmly in mind. But, also to keep in touch. See below...
Thank yous all around
I've contacted all of the other opposers of the RfC proposal to delete portals, to thank them for their support, and to assure them that their decision was not made in vain. I updated them on our activities, provided the link to the interviews about this project in the Signpost, pointed out our newsletter archive so they can keep up-to-date with what we are doing, and I invited them all to come and have a look-see at our operations (on our talk page).
Sockpuppet, and reverting his work
It so happened that one of our members was a sockpuppet: JLJ001. According to the admin who blocked him, he was a particularly tricky long term abuser. This is a weird situation, since the user was quite helpful. He will be missed.
This has been somewhat disruptive, because admins are doing routine deletions of the pages (portals, templates, etc.) he created, and reversion of his edits (I don't know if they will be reverting all of them). Please bear with them, as they are only doing what is best in the long run.
The following pages have been deleted by the admins so far, that I know of:
- Portal:Plymouth
- Portal:Bedfordshire
- Portal:Suffolk
- Portal:Norfolk
- User:JLJ001/tag
- Template:Non-standard portal flag
- Template:Portal flag
Automation so far, section by section...
- Intro – {{Transclude lead excerpt}}
- Selected article – {{Transclude random excerpt}}
- In the news – {{Transclude selected current events}}
- Associated Wikimedia –
{{Wikimedia for portals|species=no|voy=no}} - Categories –
{{#tag:categorytree|{{PAGENAME}}}}
Automatic article alerts is up and running
Automatic article alerts are now featured on the project page.
Some super out-of-date entries kept showing up on there, so posting it on the Project page was delayed. Thanks to Evad37 and AfroThundr for providing solutions on this one. Evad37 adjusted the workflow settings per Wikipedia:Article alerts/Subscribing#Choosing workflows, to make sure only the appropriate page types show up. AfroThundr removed the tags from the old entries that caused them to keep showing up in the article alerts.
Other things that could use some automation
Noyster pointed out that it would be nice to automate the updating of the portals section at the Community bulletin board.
Another major component of the portal system is the main list of portals, at Portal:Contents/Portals. How would we go about automating the updating of that?
Please post your ideas on the WikiProject's talk page. Thank you.
Deletion discussion survivors
Keep in mind that we have already speedy deleted almost all of the nearly empty portals, which can be rebuilt without approval whenever it is convenient to do so. Other portals should be completed if at all possible rather than delete them through MfD (which requires approval from Deletion review to rebuild).
- Portal:Juanes – see the discussion
(Current deletion discussions are posted on our WikiProject page).
Portals needing repair
Wrapping up
There's still more, but it will have to wait until next issue.
Until then, see ya around the project. — The Transhumanist 20:32, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Portals WikiProject update #008, 7 June 2018
The WikiProject now has 92 participants, including 16 admins.
Welcome
A warm welcome to the newest members of the team:
Be sure to say hi.
Congrats
Pbsouthwood has just gotten through the grueling RfA process to become a Wikipedia administrator. Be sure to congratulate him.
The reason he went for it was: "For some time I expect to be busy with subpage deletion for Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals as mentioned above. The amount of work is expected to keep me busy for some time. I am primarly a content creator and contributor to policy discussions, but would be willing to consider other admin work on request, providing that I feel that my involvement would be appropriate and not too far outside my comfort zone."

Evad37 has figured out a way to let the user flip through pictures without purging the page. Purging is awkward because there is an intermediary confirmation screen that you have to click on "yes". In the new picture slideshow section, all you have to do is click on the > to go to the next picture or < to instantly show the previous feature. The feature also shuffles the pictures when the page is initiated, so that they are shown in a different order each time the user visits the page (or purges it).
It is featured in Portal:Sacramento, California. Check it out to the right.
Keep in mind that the feature is a beta version. Please share your comments on how to refine this feature, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals#Refining the Picture slideshow.
The one-page portal has been achieved
We now have a one-page portal design. It isn't fully automated, nor is it even fully semi-automated, as there are still some manually filled-in areas. But it no longer requires any subpages in portal space, and that is a huge improvement. For example, Portal:Sacramento, California utilizes the one-page design concept. While is employs heavy use of templates, it does not have any subpages of its own.
I commend you for your teamwork
This is the most cooperative team I've ever seen. With a strong spirit of working together to get an important job done. Kudos to you.
In conclusion...
There's more. A lot more. But it will have to wait until next issue, but you don't have to wait. See what's going on at the WikiProject's talk page. — The Transhumanist 02:09, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
