Before you undo something go and read the entire kol official forum. The source is there! Also go and play the game I suggest kronos server to see the cheaters in action.Thedukesd (talk) 08:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. Wikipedia is not about researching topics yourself, or opinion, it's about adding verifiable material to encyclopedic articles. If you'd like to reword this to be encyclopedic and add some citations to support your additions they will not get reverted. Cheers Nikthestoned 09:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Some screenshots from their customer support are enough to prove what is happening in their game?Thedukesd (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

I did a little Googling and can find no reference anywhere to reports of systematic, noteworthy cheating in this game. By reports, I mean in newspapers / articles / features written by people not involved with the game. If you can find this I'd say it's worth adding to the article.

halesowen cricket club

hi - can you check again ass is present and correct if you dont mind (new to wiki) - we have quite a detailed history but reluctant to post verbatim from the site as dont want google to see it as dupe content - any help/reccomendations appreciated. cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesjmoreton (talk • contribs) 10:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

ok - so you removed the references and re-instated the 'does not cite' tag - can you explain what was wrong with these please? also - what is wrong with the page in terms of 'wikified' Jamesjmoreton (talk) 10:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

One sec - just writing you up some help, you're too speedy! Nikthestoned 10:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

updated - can you review agin pls? Jamesjmoreton (talk) 10:38, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but internal wikilinks are not third party sources that back up the claims made in the article. You need to find this information mentioned elsewhere to support your claims... I think the official site is OK for the lead paragraph as this states only some simple facts - I'll add something there for you so you can see how this is done. gimme a bit Nikthestoned 10:53, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

k, thanks. as i said, new to this - and i didnt want it to be war and peace - just a stub as other wiki articles reference us. thanks for your help - if you can sort the formatting, it would be appreciated, and i'll send you a virtual pint. Jamesjmoreton (talk) 10:55, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, I've wikified as best I can with the limited information that the official site offered. The infobox is def. missing some fields so feel free to add some to this. I did look around for some third party sources but couldn't find any - to be honest I'm not sure the club meets Wikipedia's notability policy, but then neither do many of the other cricket clubs and their pages are still here. I think it's good enough for now, hopefully someone will find a 3rd party source or two! Nikthestoned 11:13, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks mate - appreciated - as and when i'll add to it (agree re: other clubs - theres limited info..) Jamesjmoreton (talk) 11:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nikthestoned. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Nottingham Asphalt Tester, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. CSD A7 does not cover products or services.

Ali Mohamad Kazma

Hi Nikthestoned, I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and just posted a new encyclopedic article about one Ali Mohamad Kazma, a very successful business tycoon in the region. I would also like to contribute more information on one of the business ventures and his other business partner the daughter of the Lebanese speaker of the house.

I have read the terms and policies of Wikipedia but I cannot figure out what seems to be the problem. Please advice me on editing the articles.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adminmoe (talk • contribs) 11:03, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Ali Mohamed Kazma does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people. If you can find some reliable third part sources to show that he does indeed meet these guidelines, this article should not be deleted. Nikthestoned 11:09, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thrd party sources such as news articles in various news prints are those considered valed ? And if so where do I post them ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamcanwrite (talk • contribs) 11:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

You post them as in-line citations next to the claims they are supporting. Cheers, Nikthestoned 11:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Sripad Bhakti Sudhir Goswami Maharaj

Plese, do not delete article. Presently there are so much misinformation on internet, so at least let wikipedia be good source. Somebody even include someone like Narayana Maharaja as devotee, but he is as good as sahajiya/materialist (am I wrong?). So you better challenge those guys who write articles on eating holy cows (for which they certainly go to hell), drinking alcohols, smoking tobacco etc. That is proper use of intelligence. By the way, ASSUME GOOD FAITH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HareKrishnaUpload (talk • contribs) 09:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I searched Google and found less than 100 results for this person. This suggests to me that he does not meet Wikipedias policy on notability for BLPs. Coupled with the fact that you've created the page with no citations, I feel that the page should be speedy deleted. I also don't feel that the above is not assuming good faith, which you may want to read before quoting. Nikthestoned 09:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Gage Academy of Art

Hello Nikthestoned,

I am an intern working in the Communications Department here at Gage Academy of Art. I've been charged with updating their Wikipedia page to provide more accurate information for those interested in our school. I am new to the editing process, and it seems that I accidentally violated your external links policy. I have read the policy now, but I am still confused as to why the links to articles published in reputable newspapers and magazines (such as Seattle Magazine) were removed. Also, I understand that the artists' personal websites and the links leading to Gage Academy's official site were inappropriate, but why did you leave behind "Gary Faigin" and "Pamela Belyea"? What is acceptable about their links that was not acceptable in others? Please let me know so that I do not make any further errors.

Thank you, Ebrady90 (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Firstly, all I was actually doing was reverting your additions, for reasons previously discussed. I didn't go through the whole article really and as such didn't notice those 2 you mentioned - although I have removed them now! You could maybe add a link in the External Links section to a list of the staff, given a number of them are mentioned in the article.
Secondly, you should bear in mind that writing about your own company can be dangerous and you need to be especially careful to write with a neutral point of view and back up your claims with reliable sources as you do have quite a large conflict of interest.
The links from reputable magazines etc were regretably lost when I did the mass-revert, however they were simply listed in the external links section. These are useful in the article as inline citations, immediately following the facts they support. Have a look through these pages and let me know if you've any further questions!

New user account to replace blocked account (StellarWiki)

Hi Nikthestoned,

I work in the marketing department of Stellar, an architecture, engineering and construction firm based in Jacksonville, Florida. Therefore, I have a conflict of interest as defined by Wikipedia regarding Stellar-related content. I'm here to contribute factual and verifiable information regarding Stellar.

You recently informed me that the StellarWiki account violated Wikipedia’s policy against usernames because it gives the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website. The account was subsequently blocked by another editor. I have now educated myself on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and am committed to abiding by them. As such I created this new user account following the appropriate guidelines.

I also wanted to let you know that going forward my edits will be restricted to talk pages, and I will not engage in editing directly any Stellar-related page. Instead, I will volunteer information on the talk pages, and ask for Wikipedians' help. As such, any additional suggestions you have are more than welcome.

If you want to contact me, please leave a message on my talk page, or e-mail me at SHerrin@stellar.net.

Problem with name

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Nikthestoned) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Your user name appears to be a reference to illicit drug use. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you.

 Question: Please, editor anonymous cite the exact passage from the WP:USERNAME which this editor's username violates. Mlpearc powwow 23:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem, I deal with usernames every day and I see nothing wrong with yours . Mlpearc powwow 01:01, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Where would have been the right place to seek clarification on this for myself? Couldn't figure it out... Nikthestoned 01:04, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

The first thing to do is to discuss it here on your talk, If you still feel you a outside party to make a decision I would go here Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. Mlpearc powwow 01:36, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

That's great, thanks! Nikthestoned 08:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Justin Berkmann

Hello, I just want to let you know that I removed the BLPPROD from Justin Berkmann, only articles created after March 18 2010 are eligible for BLPprod and this article was created in January 2010. A traditional prod or AfD would be more appropriate means to deletion. J04n(talk page) 20:38, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Column issues...

How do I make the 2 lists on my userpage side-by-side without moving them under the infobox?

Thanks! Nikthestoned 15:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm getting to work on it, just be patient.--The wikifyer's corner 18:50, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean by "under the infobox"? Only a tiny piece is under it.--The wikifyer's corner 18:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the response! I'm not sure what you can see (as in, this might be a browser / OS issue!) but there's a massive gap between "My Articles" and "Pages I started" - it appears the "Pages I started" section has been aligned under the infobox. Can I stop it doing this? Nikthestoned 18:59, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I can upload a screenshot, if that will help? Assuming that's allowed of course! Nikthestoned 19:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I have modified your userpage to move the two lists beside the infobox with wrapping and without the break. Is this what you wanted? Cheers. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks for your assistance! This is pretty close, but not quite there... How do I shunt the right hand column further right so that it looks like a standard 2 column layout? As opposed to two columns hugging the left with a large gap to the right of it. I've attempted <div style="float:right"> and <div style="float:center"> but these appear to shunt all the way right, and nothing, respectively. How can something so easy to do usually be so tricky! Thanks again! Nikthestoned 15:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I've modified the page again so the columns are now 50% of the width of the remaining space. Is this what you want? Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Perfect! Many thanks to you kind sir/madam! Nikthestoned 17:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

IlSignoreDeiPC

Looks like a user page. Couldn't it be moved to the appropriate area? --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 10:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Could indeed, though given that this user 1) already has a userpage and 2) has recreated it in article-space after it was already speedy deleted once, makes me think they know full well how to create their own user page - hence the deletion template. Feel free to move instead =) Nikthestoned 10:13, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, I will move it anyway and let the user know. If it reappears again, then feel free to delete :) --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 10:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you with this again, but I was wandering what the civility rules say about things such as:

Yea, that's def. a breach of WP:CIVIL, which applies everywhere on Wikipedia (userspace especially!) - have removed accordingly =) Nikthe[[User talk:instructed me to change and update it.

Hi there. Given that you have quite a large conflict of interest, editing this page is not recommended. The best process in this situation is to create a section on the talk page, detailing the changes you'd like made to the article (and possibly the reasons for doing so) and a user will then update the page for you in due course. This is a way of ensuring the article maintains a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of is a good source of information for basic facts, it is not considered a reliable source for general information as it is self published. One final point re: your five hours comment, while the full gamut of rules on Wikipedia is pretty daunting, reading and understanding the "Five Pillars" of Wikipedia does not take a great deal of time. Cheers, Nikthestoned 13:55, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Who is a "user"? I thought that would be me? How is putting up current information and taking down old information not natural? Can I at least update her outdated CV that has no business being on there? The Harvard University website is far from "self-published". Preceding unsigned comment added by Teclough (talk • contribs)

A "user" is any other editor that does not have a large conflict of interest... Feel free to remove unsourced or incorrect information. Anything that you add, however, will *need* to be backed up by a reliable, impartial source directly supporting the statement, given the aforementioned POV issues that could be encountered.
