:Hi there! Yes, as Kinu said, "Per MOS:UNLINKDATES, dates such as this (i.e., parenthetical dates of birth) are not to be linked". Also, when sending someone a new talk message, send it on the bottom. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here. We all were new to Wikipedia, and it has a lot of weird rules.

::First of all, that was not really a opinion but basic sensibilities that we use during the page patrolling or page review. If multiple sources have been added, you will probably tag it with "additional sources", in short words, it will never end. Other than that, these are [[WP:BLP]] articles, one source is required for each of them. Per [[Template:One_source#Editorial_usage]], you have to address about the source first, if it is either unreliable or not supporting the given information as much as it should. If your issues are correct, then we can accept such tag, even now the article is very small. We do have articles such as [[List of countries by external debt]], [[List of countries by HIV/AIDS adult prevalence rate]], they largely depend upon the single source. But since they speak enough about the given information or subject, there will be no need to tag them.

:::Ok then, I agree with your conclusion that one source should not be used unless non-reliable is used also. However: 1. That is not a guideline, as you implied by "know the guidelines" 2. 500 bytes has no meaning; it's not a small/big article distinction, it's whether the article's existing source(s) are reliable and conform to [[WP:V]] or not, and based on that, I am inclined to nom it for deletion, as there really is no point to it; reliable sources isn't valid if there's one reliable source, and one source is invalid unless the first source is non-reliable 3. Using standard rollback [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ale%C5%A1_Jeseni%C4%8Dnik&curid=42787504&diff=609046855&oldid=609046709|here] was a gross misuse of the permission, as rollback is not to be used except obvious vandalism, and vandalism must be intentional disruption 4. Your entire first two posts are seriously against [[WP:BITE]] and [[WP:AGF]] 5. Your mention of [[WP:BLP]] was flawed, as all articles must be supported by outside sources, but BLPs can be PRODed for not having a source. Notwithstanding all that, friends? --[[User:Lixxx235|Lixxx235]] ([[User talk:Lixxx235#top|talk]]) 04:51, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
</div>
:::::I agree the 3rd point, but I had hit it by mistake, I don't really use rollback as I provide reason every time. Yes you can nominate them for deletion, but I don't know what you meant by "and one source is invalid unless the first source is non-reliable", BLPs can be proded for not having sources, correct. Sources like imdb, allmusic, etc should not be used as references, though they are pretty reliable. Last point would be, that WP:Bite doesn't apply here :) I hadn't warned you, my sole concern was to notify you about the OneSource tag.

* [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II|Phase II]] of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review|2024 RfA review]] has commenced to improve and refine the proposals passed in [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I|Phase I]].


[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
Here's some small secrets to get the ability to revert more vandalism.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Nuke]] feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [[Phab:T43351|T43351]]
* Tools like [[WP:HUGGLE|Huggle]] and [[WP:STIKI]] are always useful. Though you have to be careful about them, as they may cause a bit of people angry at you because you accidentally clicked the wrong version. They are automatic for the most part. (Especially Huggle) Both require rollback, but [[WP:STIKI|Stiki]] can be requested permission, and you can use it without it.

* The abuselog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog <- This is what I did for a bit, the only edits I believe you can revert are the ones with a 'diff' link. Though do take note there are false positives and to be cautious in reverting.
