I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I have to tell you, i'm impressed. (And not just with your edgy username, which succeeds in being memorably punchy, without being disgusting!) You've been at this less than a week, and you've just demonstrated enough savvy to see both the need for explaining why he's not on the wrong page at List of people by name: Tom-Toq, and an effective means of doing it without disturbing readers. (IIRC, Jiang had to tell me "That's what wiki-comments are for", OWTTE.) I'm guessing you started studying how others edit, and reading discussions, before you first clicked the edit tab yourself. I suppose overdoing that could be one of the traps of WP, but IMO it bodes well for your career here. Edit on, Poxie!.

_ _ Great! If you haven't saturated on self-training yet, you may want to look at a couple of arguably advanced topics: Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups (usually, and hopefully soon again, more smooth-working than since the latest "improvement") and Help:preferences#Raw signatures (but try not to be seduced by the overdone examples you've probably already noted, even if you don't go my minimalist route.)
_ _ BTW, your instinct to look for the suitable hdg was sound, and perhaps encouraged by my abortive attempts to make sense out of what is for me a futile struggle with my talk page -- especially if you missed the fact that that section was a year old, not weeks old. But what i've found useful in editing others' talk pages (as opposed to non-user talk pages) is to add a new section at the bottom (using the + tab next to "edit this page"), unless i've edited there before on a closely related subject. In this case, i looked at the bottom as always, and elsewhere within the same screenful, then hit the history tab (to see your summary) & decided searching for "Poxie" was the quickest way to get to it.

Images at Commons

Hello.

You (or someone with the same user name) have had some pictures uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and tagged with a {{PD-self}} tag, but no source, or date, or anything else. So they have been tagged with the appropriate tags, and notices posted to your talk page. Now that a week passed with no response, the images are going to be deleted.

If you are the copyright holder of those images (e.g, you have made the photos of the people yourself, and not took a screenshot from TV or scanned a non-free magazine), please find a way to prove that, so the images can be undeleted.

Thank you.

NowCommons: File:Parkpagoda.jpg

File:Parkpagoda.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Parkpagoda.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Parkpagoda.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 22:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:ChineseTrading.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of Lily Kim

The article Lily Kim has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP. References are dead or don't satisfy WP:V. No secondary sourcing. No coverage. Fails WP:SIGCOV.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. scope_creep^Talk 04:06, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Sigma Alpha Epsilon members, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
