Welcome!

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (98.163.75.189) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

June 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page William Neill (poet) has been reverted.
Your edit here to William Neill (poet) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4mbgd4sHq8) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your saving the abbey

Its very rare that anyone ever thanks an IP anymore, but thank you for proving me wrong in deleting speedily. hewhoamareismyself 01:18, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't consider stubs ugly, I consider pages that can never be found because they do not belong to a stub type or project, so they can't be assessed in any way. Those disturb me because there is no way to even get to them to fix them, that needs to be taken care of first before any stubs, or at least in my eyes. Whats worse is that there are 400,000+ of them. Even worse is that "orphan" isn't used enough to fix them most of the time That's what I was working on, when I stumbled on Carrow Abbey, I gave it a stub, gave it a project, then decided that there was pretty much no point in having a one line article. Good luck with whatever you are doing, hopefully I can get some people to work on my things. hewhoamareismyself 01:53, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Thomas

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Jim Thomas (poet) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.  
Your edit here to Jim Thomas (poet) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://kitticarriker.blogspot.com/2009/04/yet-another-uncanny-literary.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Adib Khan

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Adib Khan. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Adib Khan with this edit. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. Noformation Talk 04:07, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

no, this link is an appropriate review of the author's work. it meets the el guidelines. the presumption that by adding the link, i am trying to drive traffic to this blog, is not an assumption of good faith. stop it. stop spamming my talk page. is this bot an attempt to circumvent the blacklist, and its due process? i.e. if you have concerns about this blog, take them to the blacklist. is this bot targeted at ip editors only? is that not a presumption of bad faith from ip editors? given the lack of consensus over the use of this bot at Wikipedia talk:External links, i will look forward to challanging your blocks. 98.163.75.189 (talk) 12:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

advice

I think you are often doing good work here, but I want to remind you of some of our practices. Blogs are not usually acceptable sources for information used to indicate notability, unless by recognized authorities. They are, in particular, not good sources for reviews. Material on Youtube is almost never an acceptable source, for any purpose. Reviews and other information should best come from published newspapers, books, or magazines, whether or not available on the web. A real effort would be made to find good sources. For preliminary work, I find Google News Archive very helpful for easy access to recent material, and Google Books for older. But be aware the Google News includes many press release sources that we do not consider acceptable. It is up to you to choose carefully. Sometimes it is necessary to use Google, but great caution should be used with material found there. A library can be very helpful, and any librarian will assist you--they all know about Wikipedia , and many of them are fascinated by it--they can also help you get free copies of material that may be behind a paywall. The best place for our policy on sourcing is WP:Reliable sources; you can ask about any you are not sure of on WP:RSN, the reliable sources noticeboard.

I urge you to get a user account--feel free to use any pseudonym you choose. and perhaps add some information about yourself--you are likely to be taken more seriously here. You can then also register an email address, which will be kept confidential, and you will be able to send emails to me and other editors from the links on our user pages that you will then find there. But do continue working; work carefully, and you will have fewer problems. If you should get into difficulties, please feel free to ask for assistance on my user talk page. DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for stopping by, and the advice. you're probably right.
about the links. for blogs, i tend to go by the quality of the writing. if an author uploads a review to their blog that was published elsewhere, isn't that fine? i prefer newspaper reviews, but the british papers can't cover everything. i won't link to myspace or facebook, i will rarely to utube, when it's an author reading, or interview. i find author primary material to be an important source, be it published interview or video. i will include a press release, if i can't find better. i've probably overdone it in cases, and need to look harder. the quality of the ref does go to notability, but something is better than nothing. the time pressure of a prod or speedy precludes a better search; others may come along who are better at it anyway (carrow abbey). this eldeletebot has some problems, why is it allowed to run?
the more ip's get deprecated, the more i want to be one: "encyclopedia anyone can edit" indeed. it's unclear to me how "serious" a pseudonym gets treated, witness your talk page. i looked at the hierarchy of users, i don't see any tools i want. i kinda like the CAPTCHA: it's giving me lots of vocabulary words for some automatic poetry.98.163.75.189 (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you harm Wikipedia, as you did at Clint Ballinger with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Why do you think that link is appropriate for the Clint Ballinger article? To me it seems like spam which is why I reverted it, but I'm willing to listen to a reason for inclusion if you have one. Also, removing spam, even if incorrect, is not WP:VANDALISM, which has a very specific definition, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't refer to an edit as vandalism unless it is actually vandalism. Thank you. Noformation Talk 03:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that the BLP prod does not apply now that the article has been sourced. Anyone is entitled to remove a BLP Prod tag is such circumstances. However, you called the re-saddition of the tag "vandalism" in the edit summary, which is not appropriate for a simple error like that. Please do not talk in that way to other Wikipedia contributors. As one of the admins who regularly patrols BLP prod, I must tell you that this is not an appropriate attitude, even when you are right about the matter at issue. DGG ( talk ) 02:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
you are quite right, reversion under false pretensions is really a failure of wp:agf, not vandalism. it is not a simple error: it is an assumption that the bot is correct and the ip is not. it is quite instructive how ip's are treated. how many false warnings can i collect? when is the abuse of new editors going to stop? i'd say my "attitude" is a learned behavior. you can be good cop, i'll take the other. 98.163.75.189 (talk) 02:53, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been checking some of your contributions disputed above; I find that many of them are good, and some of the one removed by the various bots were improper actions by the bots. But there is only one what to deal with this, which is to remain calm about it. There's an informal rule here, that the person who loses his temper loses.vIn particular, the charge of "vandalism " implies malice aforethought to harm the encyclopedia, such and is simply not the in any of the actions involved here. If you throw this charge at people, they are sure to resent it, and will act in accordance with their resentment. The way to deal with incorrect bot tagging isto comment mildly about it on the talk page for the bot, If a bot is found to do consistently bad tagging it will be stopped. DGG ( talk ) 06:56, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

given the extended discussion about this bot, i can have no confidence that any comment i make would be productive. if they won't listen to you, why me? for Kaitlin Antonneau, i would have preferred an athlete's blog or webpage as primary source material EL, but will stoop to twitter (in the understanding that the bot will revert) if a real person would talk about it i would let it go. we now have the dilemma of BLP's being unsourced, because some don't trust ip's who try to source them. hilarious. form over function.
i don't care what their intent is; i didn't mean to imply anything, rather what is the outcome: did they make false statements on the talk page mischaracterizing my edits; did they add back a wrong prod and wrong speedy, that should have been obvious. if i added tags that did not apply, would it be called vandalism? managing and banning based on intent is profoundly mistaken: rather does an editor's pattern of edits add to or take away from the wiki. this jump to conclusion from a superficial screen, without looking at the facts, is destructive to the wiki.
you are right a better strategy would be killing them with kindness. you have stores of patience that i lack, however, how's it working for you? have you changed one editor's behavior? i prefer the tit for tat strategy. there are no consequences for assuming bad faith: one consequence will be a little smack of contempt on a talk page. (or a barnstar when mistakes are admitted) resentment works both ways: turnabout is fair. i am calm, but i am also contemptuous of falsehood. this is not personal attack, but attack upon false statements. i am not angry; i am saddened by the low ebb of civility. i wish i could believe in your strategy, but i do not. i understand that this will attract vengeful admins (not that i could tell the difference of intent) if i draw fire here, maybe they will abuse others less. 98.163.75.189 (talk) 20:33, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
actually, roughness is more likely to give them such a poor idea of what you're arguing for, that they'll think anyone else arguing for the same thing is as unreasonable as they imagine you are. In 4 years here, I have at least partially convinced some people of my way of looking at Wikipedia, but, as I've always said, I'm more concerned with convincing the new-comers. Bad as it may seem now, it was worse then. DGG ( talk ) 03:31, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
i should think they're more likely to understand game theory, than public service professionalism. the bully needs to be checked first, and then enlightened. the ip was already deprecated. let's send a message. 98.163.75.189 (talk) 12:58, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Sam Bartlett. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.
