Use common sense. Failure to do so may see your posts ignored. I am not an administrator. That means I cannot (un)block, (un)delete, (un)blacklist, (un)whitelist or (un)protect. You can report spam here, request a site to be (un)blacklisted here or here or whitelisted here. If you need revision deletions due to personal attacks email Oversight admins via email . Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing tool or a free web host. I reserve the right to remove or disemvowel inappropriate comments. This includes vandalism, legal threats and trolling. I also reserve the right to rewrite poorly formatted comments for readability. If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to read guidelines regarding external links, conflicts of interest and avoiding tripping the spam radar by accident before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions. The possibility that the blog/MySpace page/Youtube Video/sign on a telephone pole you read is a reliable source is roughly equal to the chance that I will be the next Pope. I'm a lesbian. You do the math. It does not matter if you did hear it from your best friend that her next-door neighbor's cousin knows this guy who once dated someone who went to high school with a roadie for the band you made an article for, we still need a reliable, verifiable source. If I nominated your page for deletion, read the CSD I nominated it under, one passing mention in a trade magazine does not make your company/band/mummified cat juggling act worthy of a Wikipedia article. I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response. If you are rude, obnoxious, or otherwise behaving nastily, you will simply be reverted. It's important to realize the propaganda coup the disastrous spying policies of the NSA have handed to authoritarian governments worldwide. They can push through laws clearly designed to tighten control over their citizens, on the premise of protecting them from the NSA, and the public in Russia is likely to have some sympathy. After all, the Brazilians (who appear to have little authoritarian aims at all) are heading down the same path. It's a disaster for an open and free and neutral Internet, an Internet of the world. ~ Jimbo Wales Start a new talk topic Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top.

My Answer: Take a look at the References section and all the citing throughout the article. It meets the notability requirements. Re Issue: This article appears to be written like an advertisement. My Answer: I do not believe this is true.

(Goirick (talk)) — Preceding undated comment added 06:44, 3 July 2014 (UTC) As the article was deleted via a deletion discussion, the only way to recreate the content is to undergo a deletion review. The instructions as to how to initiate that process are on the page linked. However, it should be noted that group accounts are against Wikipedia policy. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 06:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC) Qumran Dear Solarra Qumran and the Qumran caves are located in Occupied Palestinian Westbank.

Thank you Michael — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelHay (talk • contribs) 08:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC) This edit seemed to be vandalism and was reverted as the nickname is not named anywhere else on the article, nor do the sources point towards that name.

Yes the info I added was in good faith, and it was missing from the page. "Bigfoot" is a common nickname for boeing 777s in the aviation industry. So where is my edit at now? How do I make sure in the future an edit doesn't get marked as vandalism? What marks comment for vandalism: is it a robot, or people who come across it?

I hope you get this message becaue i am very confused by the Wiki user:talk interface. Can you help me get acquainted to it? Thank you Solarra 03:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)MichaelHay (talk) 03:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC) Michael A good place to start is some of the links I left on your talk page in that Welcome section. Wikipedia uses a form of HTML that makes editing articles really easy! It just takes a bit to get used to. My adoption page also has some really good stuff for new users trying to learn the ropes. As for the edit itself, reliable sources are needed for things like nicknames so we can establish reliability and not confuse people who often Wikipedia and accept it as truth. If there is any way I can help you, feel free to ask!

SPI is an exception as far as notice boards go. You do not have to notify the folks involved when you post there. This person (carriearchdlae) has wasted far too much of all our time.

The truth is, it is difficult dealing with certain users that have difficult political views on how they want the articles pages to be done, which results in me blowing my stack due to having PDD-NOS. However, I'm no fighter here and nor do I want to fight I just want to just let certain edit wars to be resolved and dropped. So, again I am sorry.--50.171.11.116 (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC) How other users have been writing articles is per the WP:Manual of Style determined by the community over the course of the years Wikipedia has been around. If you have serious issues with an article and how it appears, that is exactly what talk pages are for so you can argue your views and present your case. As you've been warned, edit warring is something completely disruptive and usually blocked for. :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 20:14, 9 July 2014 (UTC) Your edit summary During this revert, you mentioned my username and added an edit summary: Reverted good faith edits by Sharminmeghla talk: Ascii002 Please dont remove maintenance templates until the issues addressed are resolved. (HG) but I had not removed any of the templates from the article. What was the reason for this edit summary? Or, was it a mistake? — Ascii002 Let's talk! Contribs 12:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC) I really need to mention something to the Huggle developers, second time that has cause confusion.

I was trying to delete the entire draft page on Planet of Light because the article has been posted and the draft page is no longer necessary. Obviously I don't know how to delete the whole page, so I deleted the contents as the next best thing. If you can delete that draft page yourself, that would be helpful. Thanks again.Kanawishi (talk) 15:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC) Well I didn't revert you but I did warn you (which I have since removed). To delete pages you create yourself that you would like gone that have no significant contributions from other parties, use the tag {{db-author}} in order to tag the article for speedy deletion :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 20:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC) Please comment on Talk:Blue Army (Poland) Greetings!

He made 4 reverts in as many hours (if I can do math), also stopped after I warned, but has no further (non-obvious-vandalism) reverts anywhere else. I'm guessing "wait and see". Ansh666 05:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC) MarkBM continued warring after he was warned, that's why I reported him specifically. Technically the other user involved could be blocked (and might be per WP:3RR) and if it is warranted, the investigating admin will take into account the actions of all involved. Edit warring generally only gives a ~36-48 hour block, just enough to cool heads and grab attention. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 05:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC) Okay, thanks. I'm new to this, obviously... Ansh666 05:56, 10 July 2014 (UTC) We all were once upon a time, even Jimbo Wales.

Don't bother, I already know the answer - nobody! MarkBM (talk) 06:11, 10 July 2014 (UTC) The issue is not the content of your edits, it is the repeated reverting when other users have issues with your edits and your conduct in interacting with them. Calling people names and insulting them does nothing to build consensus and is a a direct violation of policy. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 06:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC) No, the issue is that they were reverting me without explaining their issues. Which, if I have it right, is also a "direct violation of policy", no? It's not civil right? I mean it violated my civil rights, right? MarkBM (talk) 06:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC) You have no "civil rights" here on Wikipedia. Being able to edit is a privilege. The rules are blind: even if you are "right", engaging in the type of behavior you have been does still count as "a direct violation of policy". Ansh666 06:22, 10 July 2014 (UTC) Correct, if other users violated WP:3RR that will also be dealt with in the investigation of the AN3 report. Further violating it and insulting them does nothing to foster cooperation. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 06:26, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
