Archives of old discussions can be found here edit

Adding one single footnote does not fix the article; it's a great start, but you need to footnote basically all the info to one source or another.

Also, though it's not mandatory, I would suggest you consider signing up for a Wiki account (it's anonymous and free). Please see Wikipedia:Why create an account? MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you have a dynamic IP address but want to maintain a fixed user talk page, you may want to create an account. Huon (talk) 06:47, 19 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello Huon. Yes I am interested in creating an account but I'm just not quite ready yet. But yes for now this my current talk page. Thank you for the offer though. Just out of curiosity, Do you like helping Wikipedia? In other words, do you enjoy doing this? 75.62.136.128 (talk) 19:26, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm not quite sure I understand what you need to be ready for - creating an account is easy and doesn't come with any pitfalls I'm aware of - you don't even need an email address or anything (though having one will allow you to get email notifications as well as mails from other editors, and Wikipedia doesn't publish your email address, so there's no privacy concern).
Yes, I enjoy doing this. It's nice to be a part of the project, to help improve it, to learn strange new facts while doing so. Also, why else would I spend my time here? Wikipedia unfortunately doesn't pay me.   Huon (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well Ineed to be ready to create an account. As I said I am interested in creating the account. I just have to think about it. And I'll answer that second question. Well you'd spend your time here to help improve Wikipedia right? Also please read the section "Notice about discussions." Tell me when you've read it all right?   75.62.134.122 (talk) 02:52, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well yes, obviously I spend time to help improve Wikipedia, but I wouldn't do so if I didn't enjoy it.
I've just read your notice; I'm sorry for not numbering my comments as you had requested. Feel free to assign numbers to them, but it may be easier in the long run to abandon these separate sections for questions and comments and to have editors always begin a new section at the bottom of the talk page. Other than that, your notice seems pretty straightforward.
By the way, there's no need to send me a {{talkback}} whenever you reply; I have added this page to my watchlist (another advantage of having an account) and will see when you write here. Huon (talk) 04:01, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's okay, if you don't do these then I could add them. And yeah it was a good idea to add my page to your watchlist. That way it wouldn't take a lot of steps. Anyway, enjoy contributing and helping Wikipedia! By the way this is comment discussion #1. 75.62.134.122 (talk) 18:14, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oh yeah, what do you think about the Golden Wiki Award I got? 75.62.128.176 (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I had assumed 75.62.131.130 was you too - did you grant that award yourself? It's beautiful, but I'd have thought it more impressive to display awards bestowed by others. Huon (talk) 02:47, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Man you're good! Yeah I granted that award myself. I was 75.62.131.130 too. But yeah it would have been better if someone else had "awarded" me. I was thinking. I need your help on something. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 19:01, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

On what? The edit filter? Apparently you tried to remove content from Bonkers The Clown's talk page; you indeed should not do so. Bonkers The Clown will handle the archiving of his own talk page. That's not even a false positive, strictly speaking. Huon (talk) 19:27, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Actually no. That's not what I needed help on. But based on how you wrote above I feel your anger but since you already clarified my first question, then I understand why the filter stopped me. You're right that's not a false positive. I needed help on something else actually.
And besides, that was my text. I had written the section "Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Berendo Street and Avenue". Sorry though. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 19:40, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
 
This emoticon above just shows that I am really sorry and that's how I feel because of the way you responded. It's like you telling me in person. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 20:08, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
There's no need to apologize, and I'm not at all angry; I'm sorry for giving that impression. I just tried to guess what kind of help you needed, and to explain why that edit filter issue had occured. So I guessed wrong; how else may I help you? Huon (talk) 00:02, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Um I need help on an article. I need help on looking for references for my article. And that's okay. I forgive you. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 03:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
By the way, how did you know about that filter issue? 75.62.132.167 (talk) 23:18, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'd like you to know as well that I created an account and this is my new talk page Now I'm Mr. Cookie 715. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:36, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Congratulations on your new account! I had a look at your contributions to try and see whether I could find out how to help you; that's how I found the edit filter issue. Regarding the sources for your article, if it's the street article I don't think I can be of much help - I don't have access to any sources unavailable to you, quite the contrary. My suggestions would be:
  1. Check out the archives of local newspapers. They might have articles that discuss the street and its development, though such sources on their own are unlikely to establish notability.
  2. Ask for sources in a local public library. There may be books on local history, or they might know of other sources - maybe there's a local historical society?
  3. Run a Google Books search to see if there are travel guides that discuss this street.
  4. Also try the Google News archives. That's less likely to help because even if there are hits they're more likely to be routine news coverage of the "something happened in this street" type, not detailed articles about the street, but you might be lucky.
These are the most likely venues for sources I can think of, and I can't be much of a help with any of them. Huon (talk) 01:15, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay then. Thank you for the suggestions though. I'll try them. I'm not sure if there is a local historical society - I've never heard of them. I was thinking and said to myself, "Well why don't I create the account? It'll be better." And of course it was. What do you think? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 01:38, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm sure the account will simplify things, and you'll enjoy several features not available to your IP talk page, such as the notifications you receive whenever there's a new message on your talk page. Happy editing! Huon (talk) 04:50, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thank you I'll enjoy editing. Ihave a question, how do you create a user page? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 18:44, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Your user page is at User:Mr. Cookie 715. The red link leads to an edit window where you can create content for the user page (it will turn blue once the page has been created). Huon (talk) 19:05, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Huon. I've already created my user page. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
And I noticed you declined my redirect request for: CalTrain Railroad, and CalTrain Railroad line. Please explain why It's an unlikely search term. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 11:39, 29 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.62.132.167 (talk) Reply
The target article and its sources don't use these terms. Google Web and Google Book searches came up empty (or more precisely they did produce results, but none of those I checked referred to the LA CalTrain). Thus I didn't see any indication that these are common alternative names. Do you know of a source that uses these terms? Huon (talk) 21:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
No I don't. So I can see why my request was denied. Okay thank you Huon for all your help. If I need more help orwant to ask you a question, I'll write here and post a {{talkback}} template on your talk page. Once again thank you Huon. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 00:48, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Please see what I wrote on my user page. Tell me once you've seen it. I also left you a pie on your talk page along with a comment. Hope you like it. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 20:21, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I don't really have much of a comment on your userpage. Regarding the pie, I would have felt more appreciated if it hadn't been for this edit. Could you please explain why you signed that edit with another editor's username? Huon (talk) 21:21, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I created that account. I didn't mean to write that. If you see the latest edit, you'll notice I changed it. I realized that it wasn't a good idea. But I guess you must have checked my contributions or something and must've seen that edit. I'm really sorry for having done that. I wrote that as a joke. I didn't really mean it. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings though. I don't know how I can make it up. (sob). Don't take that message too seriously. I promise to not do that again. Please forgive me!! Please! (crying). Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 00:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have seen the apology, and I've also seen your involvement with Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Banjir which postdates it. Playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 02:35, 3 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well Reaper Eternal has blocked me from editing for TWO WEEKS! I've learned my lesson. I will never, ever do things like that again. I am a man of his word. So I guess you won't be seeing me for two weeks. (Note that this block expires at 02:41 August 17,2013.) So please accept my apology. And how did you assume that I was the one who went to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Banjir? 75.62.130.234 is the one who vandalized that page. Did that I.P. address link to my account or something? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 02:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Except leave messages at my talk page, apparently. That's block evasion. Huon (talk) 23:15, 5 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
All right. Except between now and 02:41 17 August 2013, any messages I post on your talk page will record my I.P. address on your page's history since my account is blocked from editing. And please answer the above question. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
For clarification, you are prohibited from editing. Editing via an IP address or another account to evade the block is prohibited and will only make matters worse for you. Also, you just admitted that 75.62.130.234 is your IP address - not that we wouldn't have guessed that ourselves. Huon (talk) 00:48, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Why would you' block my I.P. address till 13 August 2013. And hey, I was not trying to do block evasion. I was trying to reach you since I left you a message here. What the heck were you thinking? That I was going to do even more vandalism? Gollee! A little too harsh. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 04:59, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I agree that maybe you did this because I hadn't complied to the block "restraining order." I have   Confirmed that maybe it's not such a bad idea for you to have done this. I apologize for making it seem that I was trying to evade the block. aS I had said above, I've learned my lesson. By the way, who is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 19:50, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Are you still mad at me? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 18:01, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay Huon, I guess you are mad at me. I haven't heard from after I placed two talkbacks on your talk page. Please respond. I'm sorry for doing all of this. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 02:01, 12 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm still waiting for a response from you. Two talkbacks and still nothing?! Gosh! I bet you're so mad that you're ignoring my talkbacks. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 00:43, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm not mad at you, but I don't have anything to say to you except what I already told you: Editing via IP while blocked is considered block evasion and is prohibited. Persisting to do so will only lead to a lengthening of the block. If you show that you cannot work within Wikipedia's rules that may well lead to an indefinite block. Huon (talk) 03:42, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
All right I won't do anything. However it still makes me feel thst you're mad. I don't want to do that. This is the last edit I'll make 'till the block expires. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 22:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
@Huon: I left you a message. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:19, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Trout edit

 

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Please don't remove this; I like it.

Notice about discussions. edit

Some discussions will be moved into the archives section if it has been unresponded or continued for 30 days. Others will stay on my talk page. It is up to me to decide. If you notice that your discussion is not on my talk page, click on "Archives of old discussions can be found here" and follow the instructions on the page. For your convenience, a search bar is provided at the top of this page so you can search for your discussion. Click "Search Archives" to see if it's there. Otherwise it may have been deleted by me or someone. I will monitor that page and see if there's anything to respond.

Creating a new discussion edit

Notice that I have created two sections labeled "Questions" and the other "Comments". Questions go in the "Questions" section and comments in the "Comments" section. I will check here and respond to them and place a "Talkback" template on your talk page. If you wish to create a new section and ask me something or leave a comment, you may do so. I will respond to them as well. I don't judge. Just click "New section" or "Edit" on the tabs on the top of the page to create a new section. Please put new sections under this text. In the questions and comments section, please number them one after another to avoid confusion. Lastly, thank you for reading this.

I am being serious. To you it seems that you can't trust me. I can see why. You think I might still go off and continue doing these things which of course is considered block evasion. But now I am serious about this. You'll see--I won't be doing them anymore. I might actually abandon this account.

Declined for sockpuppetry. As for the "I think we can pass on that chance" comment, my guess is that since you wrote that you were leaving Wikipedia, the other admins there was no real reason to unblock you. Also note that as a blocked user, it doesn't help your case that you try to put pressure on us by "threatening" to leave Wikipedia. I sincerely hope you realize that.

Request reason:

It has been a long time since I was blocked. During that time, I realized that what I had done was wrong. Now I am sure that I am ready to edit constructively. I sincerely hope that this request is worth of consideration. Let's forget about the past and start fresh. I will contribute to this encyclopedia. Please give me another chance and I can show you that I can edit and help improve Wikipedia. Think about it. Mr. Cookie 715(talk)

Decline reason:

Hmm. Both Mr. Cookie 715 and an anonymous editor using IP addresses in the range 75.62.x.x claimed back in August 2013 that the anonymous user had falsely claimed to be Mr. Cookie 715. Now an anonymous editor using the same IP range claims to be Mr. Cookie 715, and makes an unblock request. There are two possibilities: (1) Mr. Cookie 715 was telling the truth when he said that the IP editor was an imposter, in which case this unblock request is pretty certainly also from an imposter, and obviously should be declined; (2) Mr. Cookie 715 was lying when he said that the IP editor was an imposter, in which case he is now evading the block on talk page access to post this request, and I am very unlikely ever to accept any unblock request which was posted by an editor evading a block. Having said that, I do accept that people can change over time, and giving you a second chance may be reasonable. I am posting a block message with instructions on how to request an unblock when you don't have talk page access.
