A slight anomaly?

" I joined Wikipedia in 2011" =/= [1]; see what I mean? It's the sort of thing people here notice, I'm afraid. Take care! — fortunavelut luna 04:13, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

No offense just because my username is different then it was in 2011 does not mean that I did not join in 2011. I don't have the slightest clue what my username was that long ago, I don't even remember what all I did yesterday much less 6 years ago! So I had to start from scratch! Thanks for your feedback though I do appericate it! FIGHTER KD 05:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Field Hockey Canada

You recently made an edit to Field Hockey Canada, specifically this edit. Not a bad start, but with some followup needed.

You cited your sources, which is good. But you did so using inline external links (links to sites outside of Wikipedia) which is not one of the proper methods of citing sources here (although it seems very natural). There are several methods com monly in use here See Referencing for Beginners for more details. In this case, i have chosen to use footnotes (created with <ref>...</ref> tags) formatted with Citation templates . I made that change in this edit. Do please look at how the footnotes were given in the wiki-code, and how they render in the page.

The second issue is that you copied the text directly from your source, without marking it as a quotation. This is not generally acceptable. See Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations and Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright for why this is a problem. Accordingly, I paraphrased the text in this edit. Note that this involved using each citation twice, by giving each a reference name, and then referring to those names on the 2nd use. This is how one may cite a single source many times in an article, without cluttering the reference list. (Well, more exactly it is one way, there are others.)

Finally, I decided to reorder the article with the added content, and divide it into sections. I did that in this edit. This was not required, as the other two changes were, but it seemed to me an improvement. You can see all of the changes in the page history.

I hope that this was helpful to you. You may also find the pages Help:Editing, Help:Wiki markup, and Help:Cheatsheet useful. Happy editing. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 10:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for helping with that and correcting my attempt to improve the article. That was very kind of you and all the info you gave me helps a lot!!! FIGHTER KD 16:36, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Adoption

I see you have activated the {{adoptme}} template on your user page. You have an idea, by now, of the way I interact. Would you be interested in having me as a formal mentor? (I like that term better than "adopter" but the meaning here is much the same.) If you would prefer someone else, i will not be in any way offended. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 17:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC) YES I would love for you to adopt me! Thanks so much!FIGHTER KD 00:40, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Assignments

Since you have accepted me as a mentor, here are some assignments.

• First. please fix your signature. Go to Special:Preferences, or click on the prefences link at the top of any page. Scroll to the signature section on the user profile page. Enter [[User:FIGHTER KD|FIGHTER KD]] <sup>[[User talk:FIGHTER KD|Talk]]</sup> (without the nowiki and code tags, those are just to display the wiki code) in the "Signature" box, and check "Treat the above as wiki markup". This will render as: FIGHTER KD ^Talk (except that the talk will be a link on any page but this one). If you don't like that signature, it can be modified, but there really must be at least one link to your user or user talk page, and both is better. Ping me when it is done, please.
• Second, read the pages on copyright I posted links to in the section above about your field hockey edit. Explain here why your edit was not acceptable, and how to handle such cases in future. Ping me when you are done, please.
• Third, Find another article to copy edit or improve, and try your hand. Please ping me when you are done.

I don't know how much wiki-time you have, so there is no deadline. But please tackle those as soon as you reasonably can, in that order. And of course DO post on my talk page or ping me to ask any questions you may have, at any time. I will respond when i can. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 02:02, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I followed your instructions for the signature page I think I I did it correctlyFIGHTER KD ^Talk 15:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

--UTRSBot (talk) 05:34, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Since I can't make any edits I am putting this here in hopes the will lift the block on my account I sincerely apologize if I have offended you in anyway. That was never my intentions. What I wrote above on my talk page was the gods honest truth. I did not reveal my name as I did not fell I was necessary, due to me coming back to Wikipedia has nothing to do with the exhausting reasons you seem to think as why I have. I gave up on going back and fourth with mkdw regarding my name or regarding anything with that whole situation in general. It was pointless and got me nowhere and I apologize for the time I wasted out of anyones life for those reasons. I only made the discussion on the topic (after I had made several edits that had nothing to do with it) in hopes it would help others from taking different routs then I did. I didn't think it would raise a huge debate, but then again I find myself not knowing a great deal of things these days which is why I signed up for the adopt me program. If you looks at all my logs you will see I am not here to Vandalize or make disruptive edits. I'm not trying too cause harm to any user or any articles. I am wanting to relearn Wikipedia in general so in the future I can help articles, by expanding or fixing errors, like the ones I tried to before the block was put on my account. I am being honest with you and would appericate if you removed the block so I can continue being mentored and learning. I even signed up for the educational classes so my students I teach at vandy (yes I teach a class there one semester out of the year) so they could learn also. I'm asking for a second chance to prove why I am here. I agree to follow all guidelines I will understand and respect your decision if you decline it. I do wish you all well with your futher endeavors. Thanks, KD
