Hello Lucas. To change your signature, go to "my preference" (top right corner), and change the text in the box that says "Signature". For more complicated sigs, select "Raw signatures". Also, read this page, it's quite helpful when you want to change your signature. Hope that helps! · AndonicO Talk 13:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Thanks for experimenting with the page World of Warcraft on Wikipedia. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in the encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable published source. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. This message is in regard to the change of the European release date. Dancter 16:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Rock and roll. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Freshacconci 01:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Most authorities place the development of rock and roll long before Elvis. He was an important pioneer, but didn't "start" rock and roll. In any case, when you add information to wikipedia you need reliable sources, and I'm afraid taking special classes doesn't count. Thanks. Freshacconci 16:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Please read through some of the above links that were provided by another editor to learn about contributing to Wikipedia. I'm accepting your word that your intent wasn't vandalism, but you cannot place unsourced information into an encyclopedia. Freshacconci 16:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Again, as I mention above, I do not believe your intent was to vandalize. Your edit seems sincere, however, the information you provided was incorrect and, more importantly, unsourced. You cannot make unverified claims in an encyclopedia. Please read through the links at the top of the page which give helpful guidelines for editing wikipedia. Also, read through the rock and roll article which talks about the history in great detail. thank you. Freshacconci 16:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Please read this section in particular: Wikipedia:Verifiability. Thanks again. Freshacconci 16:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
If you would actually take my advice and read the link above, you would see that it states: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." That means you must provide the sources for your claim. If you would also read the article, under origins, the article talks about a lack of consensus on who created rock and roll. The article also states that Rolling Stone magazine has argued that Elvis Presley's "That's All Right Mama" was the first rock and roll record. However, in the paragraph before, there are other interpretations of the origins of rock and roll. In the end, there is no definitive answer, so it cannot be stated as fact that Elvis invented rock and roll. He is one of many pioneers. And since it is already mentioned that Rolling Stone places the beginning with Elvis, your edit is also redundant. I'm finished with this now. Any further discussion should be taken to the Rock and Roll talk page for other editors to join in. Thanks. Freshacconci 16:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Adding Welcome to talk pages

edit

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Inter16 16:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please READ talk page

edit

You are still not adding subst: to templates, please do so!Inter16 16:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Signatures

edit

I came across your comment on Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Jreferee_2, where another editor added a signature to your post. Just a friendly reminder: in the future, please sign your posts on pages like that, and talk pages, by typing four tildes (~~~~). Thanks!

Welcome messages

edit

Hi there; I notice that you are posting a large number of welcome messages to new users. As I am sure you know, the {{welcome}} template includes the invitation to come back to you for any help or advice that the new user may need. You yourself have been here a little less than two months. Are you quite sure that if these new editors come back to you with queries you are going to be able to answer them? If you have been here under an IP address, and know the ropes, then of course please carry on. But if you do actually have only two months wiki experience might I suggest that you stop giving out welcome messages, which give the impression that you are experienced, and think more about article creation? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

The exchange with me above and here would suggest this user is not sufficiently experienced with wikipedia at this point and would do well to heed the advice of Anthony.bradbury. Freshacconci 16:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I am sorry. You do not have the experience to help new users; you have, in fact almost no more experience than they do. Please NOW stop sending welcome messages to new users, or I shall have to report you at WP:AN/I.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

RfA thanks

edit
 

Hi Lucasbunchi. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.

My recent RfB

edit

Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.

I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // // 04:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

New users

edit

No. You still have only a microscopic number of edits, and only 38 are not new-user welcomes. There is no evidence at all on your history that you have any meaningful knowledge about WP:CSD, WP:AIV, WP:AfD, WP:UAA, WP:CfD, WP:AN/I, WP:IAR, WP:SNOW, WP:USERPAGE, WP:DR etc, etc, nor that you have any significant experience in article writing. All of these topics, and a lot more, can form the basis of questions which new users may ask. If you post welcome messages they will ask you; and there is no evidence from your contributions and involvement that you can answer them. We want to help and encourage new users (which includes you), not give them the impression that their welcomer cannot answer what seem to an experienced editor or admin to be simple questions. I do note that your last few edits have been to Mainspace. Please, for the present, continue to confine yourself there. I will watch your contributions. If you need any help or advice, please feel free to ask me. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your support on my recent RFA. No luck this time, but I'll be back again in short order for a hopefully successful attempt! Hiberniantears 14:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

thanks for adding that to the page. we really needed a decent picture. i assume it's from the bigger bang tour, so would you mind if it were lowered to that section of the article? Stan weller 19:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
