Epikman: Purposes and Intentions

I intend to work on some of the newer articles to ensure that their sources are good and that the articles do reflect their sources. I have seen a lot of newer articles do this recently and I know how much of an impact Administrative tools could have on Wiki---therefore I must solemnly promise to do only that which I am 100% sure is for the bettering and not for the worsening of Wikipedia.

On RFA

(talk page stalker) Hey there! Welcome to Wikipedia. Recently I was scrolling through recent changes and I noticed your intention in becoming an administrator. You may wish to read the guidelines WP:NOTNOW - being an administrator usually requires several years of experience with thousands of edits to various different areas on the wiki.

There are plenty of ways you can contribute the site without requiring administrative tools - just get started! Adminship is not particularly glamorous work, nor is it a WP:TROPHY. I hope this has helped you, and if you have any questions feel free to let me know on my talk page. NottNott|talk 20:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

A sad and depressing sight

I recently clicked "Random article" to come to the article entitled Luc's Lantern. Before, I had gotten help with a German article under this same heading title, so don't be fooled Anyways, I think this article would do good with some watching on the parts of responsible editors---something seems incomplete or not right about it; and my senses say that as an editor I should have this checked out. Thanks, Man epik (Epikman) (talk) 21:28, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Apologies

I am dearly sorry for making an error while messing up your talk page. Allow me to help you with this Luc's Lantern article, and I am sure it will be much better than it is now. In fact, here I go now to make it better!

Don't worry ; all is forgiven.

Your userpage

Hi there! Just a quick note that I think in the recent vandalism someone has changed the meaning of your talk page message "I want to make Wikipedia worse by being an inaccurate editor" - I tried to find the revision which caused this (possibly this?), but you may wish to change it back. Happy editing! -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 07:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

On talk pages

Hey there! Sorry to message you yet again, I'd hate to create the impression of 'piling on' as I've noticed you've had the smallest bit of drama so far here. But this is just a good faith message to let you know about talk page conduct.

Typically, when responding to talk page messages, you leave the original message intact (such as this one), and then respond to the user underneath with a colon.

Like this! See the talk page source for how to do this.

Also, it's good practice to respond with a {{re|username}} template if the user is in question isn't on their own talk page. This produces @Username: and sends a notification to a user. Add the two together and you can respond to messages like this:

@Username: Response!

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know on my talk page. NottNott|talk 08:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

there's been a mistake!

This user is asking that his autoblock or shared IP address block be lifted:

Epikman (block log • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • user rights management • checkuser (log))

---

Block ID: #6683697 (BlockList • unblock)
Blocking admin: Materialscientist (talk • blocks)
Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Jamesandlily12". The reason given for Jamesandlily12's block is: "Disruptive editing".

WARNING: If you were blocked directly then you are using the wrong template and your block will not be reviewed since you have not provided a reason for unblocking. Please use {{unblock | reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} instead.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, or when you need checkuser assistance, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=Epikman}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-auto on hold | 1=Materialscientist | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Jamesandlily12". The reason given for Jamesandlily12's block is: "Disruptive editing".</nowiki> | 3=127.0.0.1 | 4=6683697 | 5=~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting decline reason here with any specific rationale. If the decline= parameter is omitted, a reason for unblocking will be requested.

{{unblock-auto reviewed | 1=127.0.0.1 | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Jamesandlily12". The reason given for Jamesandlily12's block is: "Disruptive editing".</nowiki> | 3=Materialscientist | decline=decline reason here ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock-auto reviewed | 1=127.0.0.1 | 2=<nowiki>Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Jamesandlily12". The reason given for Jamesandlily12's block is: "Disruptive editing".</nowiki> | 3=Materialscientist | accept=accept reason here ~~~~}}

Thank you, whoever lifted the block for me!
