Hello! How could I have improved on my edit?

I made an edit on the Matrix (communication protocol) page. I wanted to leave a link that explained what 'other implementations' exist, but it wasn't an edit made in confidence. Would you mind suggesting how the edit should have been made? I'd find it useful :)

Sin Perdón Info

Hi there,

My name is Ismael Bustamante. I tried to edit info related to my band "Sin Perdón" from Chile because basically is incomplete and some information is just wrong. I have been playing in the band for more than 15 years. I would like to improve the information available and help to put in the web correct and wider information. My email is bustamante.ismael@gmail.com

If you could help me to update the info, pictures, songs and all the info which appears as official, but it is not, I will really appreciate it


Thank you in advance

Stop Clowning Around

Warning icon Please refrain from clowning around on Oshwah's talk page I am supposed to talk page stalk not you! Screw you! Quit clowning around. This is your only warning. Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 20:23, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegooduser: I suggest you to focus on your work instead of harassing Oshwah by sending tons of emails. You can talk page stalk, but users posting messages there seek attention and replies from Oshwah himself. I occasionally reply messages that I can handle and what I think Oshwah will also do. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:28, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The emails I send him are revdel requests.Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 22:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Thegooduser: Actually you should email the Oversight team. It’s faster and better (since administrators cannot view suppressed edits). You know Oshwah is a busy man, he cannot handle both real life and Wikipedia matters at the same time. There are 49 oversighters in Wikipedia that can handle your request. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:26, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Undid revision of page A23 -- I think you made a mistake

Dear Abelmoschus Esculentus,

I got a message from you to say you had reverted my changes to the page A23 because they were "not constructive". I was simply correcting a typo as identified in moss. In this case, the page says 'antigenetically' but the explanation in the second part of the sentence is for 'antigenically' and the wiktionary page for 'antigenically' is cited. As a PhD student in genetics, I can assure you that 'antigenically' is the correct word here. I hope you do not mind that I undid your reversion; I am new to wikipedia editing and do not want to step on any toes.

Many thanks, Sherlotte (talk) 12:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sherlotte: Ok thanks for reminding me. I quickly searched the dictionary and it doesn't have this word (so I reverted it). Hope you be a great editor in the field of genetics! ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:49, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Iain Hastie

I have attempted twice to make a change to the spelling of my uncles name. I have also amended his country of birth to scotland and date of death 31/7/2018. Place of death New Zealand. I do not understand why you will not accept these changes. I am just trying to correct public record. Thanks. Brian Hastie

Reverting Sydney Youth Band Edits

Hello AE, you have reverted many of my edits to the Sydney Youth Band page and labelled them as vandalism, however, I am a member of the Sydney Youth Band and all of the information that I have put onto the page is 100% accurate and up to date. I would greatly appreciate if you would refrain from reverting my edits. Thank you. Mmmmmnmm (talk) 13:58, 31 July 2018 (UTC) MMMMMNMM[reply]

About Ty Dincer

Hi there,

I am writing with regards to this page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dincer_Ty.

There's a few things which are concerning and should be deleted.

The controversies written around Ty Dincer (criminal conviction and corruption allegation) is proven to be untrue. I am happy to provide the official police clearance certificate (through another channel), but due to Wikipedia link protection policy, I can't share it with this message.

Also, on the section on Ty Dincer's personal life has zero citations and references, and are therefore, defamatory. As such, I'd strongly encourage you to take down such paragraphs on these sections:

- The introductory paragraph which says -- Dincer left Abu Dhabi Investment Council amidst conviction of criminal charges by the Abu Dhabi Court and corruption allegations.

- The sentence in the "Career" section which says -- In June 2018, Dincer left the company amidst conviction of criminal charges. Dincer was also suspected of corruption.

- The sections on Controversies (Criminal Conviction and Corruption Allegation)

- The sections on Personal Life

Side note -- Many of the citation links within this Wikpedia entry (such as this one -- https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/property/the-aussie-mafia-doing-billiondollar-deals/story-fn9656lz-1226780853669?sv=9a7ff746ef151d4626388d223d7c4584) are also not working at all, or irrelevant to Ty Dincer (such as this - https://nypost.com/2018/01/05/man-allegedly-put-hand-in-womans-pants-while-she-slept-on-flight/)

And final note -- The original Ty Dincer page (see link -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ty_Dincer) has been taken down too.

What?

I did explain. 64.231.70.88 (talk) 13:12, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It does exist. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 13:13, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What? You said I should explain my edit, but if you look, you'll see that I did explain. 64.231.70.88 (talk) 19:13, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I mean the website still exists. You did explain, but sometimes your explanation needs to be adequately describing what you are doing. You said it was a dead link, so I checked and found that it still exists. But the article is deleted so nvm. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:03, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deva (Hinduism)

Please look at the history of changes to that article, and you'll see that an editor called GenuineArt reverted only one of a series of bad edits by an IP address. I reverted the rest of them. Please read the article, look at the changes, and decide for yourself. But I would seriously like to know if you still feel that "Shiva the god of destroy," is more properly worded than "Shiva the destroyer,". Wisdom Goddess (talk) 13:35, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wisdom Goddess: You mean This IP? ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 13:36, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that other editor reverted only the very last of his bad edits on that article. All of them should have been reverted, not just the last one. Wisdom Goddess (talk) 13:42, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Wisdom Goddess: Ok I thought you were reverting the last edit by GenuineArt. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 13:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for telling me that track listing is two words I'll change them all back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melanieowen (talk • contribs) 13:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ellektra (2004 film)

Hiya
I saw that you undid my edit to Ellektra (2004 film). Could you please explain what was wrong with it, so that I can improve myself for future edits.

enantiomers

Whether you think it helpful or unhelpful what I wrote was correct, whereas the original to which you have now reverted is/was meaningless - anyone editing a page with the word 'enantiomer' in it should understand what it means and have already corrected the meaningless entry, makes the whole enterprise kind of pointless if you delete edits pointing out errors, but if you prefer to have a superficially nice sounding entry which means nothing then knock yourself out

Telesystem Submission

Hello Abelmoschus Esculentus,

I recently submitted an article for Telesystem. You who a response saying that the copy sounded as an advertisement rather than a neutral point a view. Telesystem has 2 sister companies that were cleared on Wikipedia with similar content. I am not sure why this one was denied? Would you be able to give me an explanation as to what to fix in order to resubmit?

Blue Iguana

Hello AE

You have just deleted my contribution to the Blue Iguana page.

I typed " or for the 2018 Sam Rockwell film Blue Iguana type in the search box " Blue Iguana 2018".

As the film has the same name as the animal there is an issue with having the film appear on a search so people can read about it.

I have read the disambiguation page on wikipedia and can't fathom them out, perhaps you could help?

kind regards BI Blue Iggy (talk) 15:58, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue Iggy: Hello. I didn't delete revert your edits in Blue Iguana, Blue iguana and Blue Iguana (2018 film). Regarding Blue Iguana, it's better to leave it as a redirect since there are only two similar articles. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:58, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I won't say Korean sources are necessarily not reliable. There are reliable sources such as Billboard amd The Korea Herald though ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 08:43, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No question on Korean sources being better or worse than others. I was saying that Mamamoo's team should have been aware of blackface issues and prevented it. Mamamoo ‎PP has been upgraded to 30/500 Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:47, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good. I think their aim is to prevent this “scandal” from spreading out and hurt their reputation. Quite clear. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:06, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, are you aware blackface is not something you learn in South Korea? This is why many idols have done the same mistake. Since you have enough time to "protect" this page, why don't you also look up big bang and other groups who have done problematic issue?

This article and publishing about an ongoing court case is outright malice on Mrs Agnes Kagure

The author is looking to tarnish the name of a successful insurance executive because she was nominated for a political seat, why would wikipedia allow such posts to be published when the author is only quoting news paper articles that have mostly been deleted eg the article from the standard newspaper.

Please pull down this article . It doesn't help to tarnish someones name, please note am only disputing the land fraud section. thank you in advance

Administrators' newsletter – August 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).

Administrator changes

Guideline and policy news

  • After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
  • Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Orlando: a Biography

Hi, I did spend a great deal of time trying to sort out the section called 'Analysis'. You have now reverted to the form it had before, which contains the following problems: 1. It is all in one undifferentiated section, which is extremely long to wade through, without subheadings to steer the reader. 2. It contains a lot of material taken from a fairly limited number of sources, and not all of the strongest academic quality. 3. It has no real order, launching in with a comment about the Romany which, while interesting, is too specific and narrow to be the first point. 4. There are a number of repetitions.

So, I was intending to sort it out. I have spent some time trying to re-order the material, but without making any radical changes to the content. All I have done is to re-group it, add a few minor points of detail and remove some of the repetitions. As a consequence, I merged the material with that form the previous, very brief section. I also changed the title from 'Analysis' to "Themes' because that is the more common title for this sort of section for many other classics of English Literature. Obviously, the next stage would be to revise the material in stages, since this is a more hefty operation but I suspect that many readers have just thought the task too large in its original form. I hoped that, in this form, it would be easie for a number of contributors to improve this article enormously. I would also intend to add at least one more section, on the theme of the house that is central to the novel, Knole. If you look at my plentiful additions and revisions to that article on Wikipedia, you will see my approach.

For these reasons, I would like to ask you to return the text to my version, knowing that this does no harm to the body of the article at present, makes it more intelligible and navigable, and begins what will no doubt be a long process to improve the strength of the article.

Wow, can't imagine how large your watchlist page is. I only have 79 ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's a misleading figure really, and mostly stems from this. When the machine dishes out a template for me, it automatically watchlists the page. IIRC there's a thing under your preferences that allows you to automatically watchlist every page you visit: although I'm not sure that would really be very helpful. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 14:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Serial Number 54129: In your twinkle preferences, disable all "add to watchlist" kind of thing in that page should solve the problem. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:11, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I know.: Add pages I review to my watchlist. That's precisely what I just told you. But it wouldn't help me becasue I don't watchlist every page I view, just ones that are posted on. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 14:15, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok nice. I have never visited the watchlist tab in my preferences. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:20, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Abel,

I hope you are well.

Smederevo-Vršac dialect

The reference link provided is dead, information on the dialect popped up from nowhere, as I'm a witness that that dialect is live and well and is still being used in Vršac. Please let me know why did you change everything back. Answer asap Kolikojerokoko (talk) 02:04, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolikojerokoko: There's no need to remove dead links. See WP:404. Also, you removed the reference section without explaining why. Regards ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 02:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So I can remove the untrue information from there with a detailed explanation?

@Kolikojerokoko: Actually content in Wikipedia should be written based on reliable sources. If you see any factual errors or material which is not directly supported by reliable sources, they can be removed at any time. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 02:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tania Nehme's Biography

Hi AE, I'm trying to add more information to my Wikipedia information page and you keep wiping it out? Am I doing something wrong? The information is correct and reflects my experience. Please help me here.

Regards Tania Tania M Nehme (talk) 03:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tarnia M Nehme: A user is strongly discouraged to edit articles about themselves, as the user may have bias that prevent them from maintaining a neutral point of view. Furthermore, you did not cite any sources for your edits. This makes it hard for others to verify if your edits are actually true, and is another reason we reverted your edits. If you think the article has something factually incorrect, please report the mistake and find a published article that supports your argument. XYZt (talk) 03:14, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

yes it is constructive because it tells the truth and shows that owen jones flounced out on a false premise This had a major bearing on Marks subsequent career and showed that his judgement to question was sound

Then you need to cite it. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 09:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Olaf the White

What evidence do you have that Olaf the White was born in Ireland ? Also the 'putting aside' of Aud by Olaf - where does that information come from? Is it based solely on the notices of Olaf's other marriages and the theories of recent historians. As far as I am aware there is nothing to say she was put aside - do you have evidence of this ?

What evidence do you have that talking in article is considered appropriate? Use the talk page for discussion. If you believe the information is wrong, then remove it. If you continue excessively adding "notes" to the article, you'll have a nice trip to ANI for your disruptive editing. Yes, I don't have evidence for that. However, the content was not added by me. I don't have the responsibility for it. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 10:57, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

changes to Lora (singer) page

Hi, Abel,

I am trying to update Lora (singer) page as I am a representative of her Label Universal Music Romania / MediaPro Music. My changes seem to revert though I have only uploaded a new picture of the artist and some more info about her. Please advice what to do in order to have my updates accepted.

Thank you, Foolsandkings (talk) 12:30, 8 August 2018 (UTC) Marius (foolsandkings)[reply]

@Foolsandkings: Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia. As mentioned in the linked policies in Kpgjhpjm's talk page, we strongly discourage conflict of interest editing. Please follow the instructions there. Also, Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to change an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation. Also, COI editors should not edit affected articles directly, but propose changes on article talk pages instead. Thanks. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:36, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I only wanted to update the picture as the current one is really old. Also some of the info is not incorrectly written and would like to update the biography as the information is several years old. Please advice how I could do this legally. Thank you!

@Foolsandkings: You can request it in the talk page, specifically Talk:Lora (singer). Remember you have to explain your change clearly and disclose your COI. Thanks ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to the Beast in Heat

I am not making disruptive edits to the above article. I was clarifying the film as being in the Nazisploitation sub-genre a of the exploitation film. I amended the article as it stated in error the film contained hardcore pornography. It does not. I also made an edit to the film which the director incorporated footage film and listed the film's title. This edits are not vandalism and are intended to help the article. Your comments are threatening and nonconstructive.

@HorrorProfessor: You didn't provide a reliable source for it. Please refer to your talk page for further explanation. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:46, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to the Beast in Heat

How am I able to find a source for the fact that the film the Beast in Heat does not contain hardcore pornography besides the film itself? You are in fact directly promoting an error on wikipedia when you re-edit the article to include the fact The Beast in Heat contains hardcore pornography.

@HorrorProfessor: Then unfortunately it cannot be added. All content in Wikipedia must be written based on reliable source and in a neutral point of view, especially genres. Regards ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've clarified the statement from the book. It says most films contain hardcore sequences, but not specificly this one. I've edited this to match the source. If there are issues with accuracy, I would bring it up on the talk page unless you have a source HorrorProf. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:56, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do not need a response but

I notice that any editing of Wikipedia articles now gets dropped from the article and despite what is said about other editors getting so see these edits the fact is that the public only get to see what the original editor wrote - regardless of whether the article is accurate or not. This removes the worth of wikipedia entirely. You are in effect preventing editing.

I am preventing disruptive editing. If you really want to change to article, then change it. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your inability to allow editing

What is the point of allowing editing to a wikipedia entry if you block the edits and then claim that a perfectly reasonable questioning of your article constitutes vandalism. You have made statements about history without any supporting evidence, have failed to respond to reasonable and polite questions about your article and instead make threats. You are clearly unable to accept different opinions. I even entered my comments in brackets in order to leave your article unchanged. You article is historically innacurate and your excessive reaction and baseless accusatiomns and threats leave me in little doubt as to your petty-mindedness and throroughly narcisistic character. You are making this little corner of the internet closed to other thoughts. You should be ashamed of yourself hiding behind your feeble pseudomym and pathetic threats

The article is not mine. No one owns any of the articles here, not even Jimmy Wales (the founder). Other details are explained below. Regards ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:45, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As an additional note, if you raise your concerns in the talk page, I will definitely not revert it. It is considered constructive. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:46, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Preventing editing

You stated:-

I am preventing disruptive editing. If you really want to change to article, then change it. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)


Yet you block editing - you do not allow anyone to change the article and resort to ridiculous accusations of vandalism. If you don't want your article editing do not place it on a site that allows editing and do not say "change it"

If you want to make suggestions, use the talk page, not adding huge amounts of "notes" to the article. Also, your "notes" are also visible to the public. Furthermore, not all new edits are reverted, your edits are reverted because they are misplaced, and you came to me complaining that I am the one who "prevents" people from editing. One of the core principles of Wikipedia is assume good faith. We assume that people are helping the project, content added are correct. I assume good faith in you, I know you want to help the project, but in this case your edits (1) did not help the article (a.k.a. "not constructive") since you didn't change any content (2) confused the public, so I have to revert it. If you make constructive changes to the article, I will not revert it and will appreciate that you are really helping the project. Have you ever seen a featured article that has a "note" like yours? Btw, I am not an administrator, I cannot block anyone from editing. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 14:43, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

reverting edit to Jubail Industrial College

Hi, Abel; You have reverted a recent edit to Jubail Industrial College, citing factual error. Please see Persian Gulf naming dispute ... the term you have changed the name to is not recognized internationally and is, as a matter of fact, factually incorrect. I will respectfully revert your edit. Regards, 86.98.64.43 (talk) 08:45, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kathleen Folbigg

I am Kathleen Folbigg's paralegal and I wish to make changes to her wikipedia page. These edits are completely non-controversial and reflect an accurate account of her life and case. I trust that wikipedia wishes to be a reliable source of information, and therefore would ask you please allow me to edit this page. As it currently stands, it is not accurate and conveys a bias message, which yet again I trust Wikipedia does not endorse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dooey11 (talk • contribs) 09:16, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yanjipy: Yes, I’m 12 hours ahead of you (UTC+8). Actually I don’t have a fixed agenda since Wikipedia is built by volunteers like us, so I respect everyone’s choice here.

Ian Swingland

"I have just been informed that any mention of the trial is a breach of the Order and is therefore potentially a contempt of court. I want my entire entry deleted, as I requested in the first place, otherwise Wikipedia is putting me in severe danger and possible legal action against me and you." All this was explained at length in my first message today. Why don't you understand . A Court Order prevents any mention of the trial and anything to do with it.

@Ianswingland: Do you have any evidence that proves the court order exists? ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 10:57, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

no worries man

Whatever I have written is true to my best of knowledge

Dear sir,

The thing that i have edited by adding more information is taken from my unpublished research. i have been staying in Daltonganj since 2012 doing my research in this Palamu language. We have made lots of written, audio and video materials in this language. But Government has not yet recognized this as a language different from Magahi and Bhojpuri. We are on the process to inform government authorities regarding the vitality of this regional language spoken by 3 million people of Garhwah, Palamu and Latehar. Since mu research is not yet published I cannot give any citations. But you can view the status of this language by visiting our website palamu.net/

@Suraj4palamu: Please read WP:OR. Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. (The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist.) This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented. I have no reason not to revert it. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:39, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just because something seems inappropriate in an encyclopaedia to you this is not the arbiter vide the Franklyn B Paverty page - this page has any number of links within it so your reverting of those links is arbitrary and inconsistent. That is vandalism of the page.

@Urac Huntmal: No. It is indeed inappropriate in Wikipedia. You complain this to me because you didn't even bother to read the messages (and policies) I've sent to you on your talk page. External links should either be put in the "External links" section or cited using inline citations. Easy to understand, huh? ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 12:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. For someone who requests courtesy you appear to be a little short on it yourself. Maybe get your own house in order before sneering at folk. Urac Huntmal (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. I am using the same tone as yours. Happy editing. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:30, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AE, you just reverted me on AN/I - not sure whether or not you read the comment, it was just a silly joke about Martinevans123's previous comment. Just wanted to make sure you know I wasn't actually making death threats! ;) Girth Summit (talk) 13:57, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Brown

AE, I was reading this article Adam Brown and I was looking at the reference to see that there is only one reference, but there are a few external links. Because you taught me not to put {{unrefrenced}} templates on articles with no references but they do have external links what is the right tag to apply for this article? – Yanjipy (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yanjipy: If the references covers all the content in the page, then there's no need to tag with unreferenced. If some content is being covered by external links, then Template:No footnotes is what you're looking for. If not, then tag with unreferenced. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:34, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When is the {{refimprove}} template used then? Yanjipy (talk) 02:17, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When not all references or external links cover all content. An alternative of it is {{cn}}. However, excessive addition of cn tags to articles is considered disruptive editing. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 02:19, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Licensing in the Commons

Hey AE, as a part of this mentorship, will it be possible for you to give me some guidelines about licensing pictures or logos (that aren't my work) that I upload from the commons because apparently, I'm licensing the articles wrong according to John from Idegon. Thanks. Yanjipy (talk) 23:18, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No input is needed from me here, so there is no reason to ping me. If I leave a message on your talk page, you can also assume I've watchlisted it, so there is no need to ping me there either. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 01:22, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Yanjipy: I have only uploaded two pictures to Commons, all are my own work. I am not too familiar with the licensing files. You may read Wikipedia:Non-free content, the relevant guideline. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:29, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you do need some input here, Yanjipy. First, the image in question is unequivocally NOT in the public domain. First, the PD template you added is only for use in very limited cases. The state of Florida has the authority to declare its work in the PD, Its highly doubtful they could compel a city to do the same. Second, schools are not units of government at any level. Public school districts and state universities are quasi-governmental corporations. In any case, most of that is overthinking. Just know that school logos are copyrighted. I do not see the image on the website listed on the file where you got that from, or I would do it right as an example for you. So I will attempt to explain, but know that copyright is damn complicated.
  1. Commons can only accept images that are released (licensed) under CC BY-SA 3.0 or a less restrictive license (like PD).
  2. There is something called "fair-use" exception to copyright which applies in certain situations to logos. The guideline for using them is cited above by AE.
  3. Fair-use logos must be uploaded to En.wiki, not commons.
  4. If you use the upload wizard, it is relatively easy. The only tricky part is the fair use rationale, which you can just copy from another logo file. File:Miramar High School crest.jpg would be a good one to copy.
If you have any questions on copyright, leave me a message. Either myself, or one of our resident experts on copyright, Marchjuly, will answer. I was a professional photographer for many years, so I have a fair working knowledge of all the intricacies. John from Idegon (talk) 02:50, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How to Deal with these Types of Articles and their Creators.

Hello AE, I've been working on WikiProject Swimming and I've been practicing my tagging skills with Twinkle. I keep finding these biographies of swimmers created by User: Lugnuts and basically they all look like this. And there's something like a few hundred of them. So, I did the appropriate thing (I believe) and tagged them with a {{one source}} tag. Apparently, the creator of all these articles, Lugnuts went ahead and deleted all my edits. I didn't know what to do, so I contacted the user and asked them why they deleted my edits and if I did something wrong... he never responded so I'm here to ask you. Thanks.

@Yanjipy: One source is NOT used in very very short articles. In your case, since the article is very short, there are too little context, so one source is enough to cover all of them. Therefore, tagging them with one source is inappropriate. Regards ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see so would there be any appropriate tag for an article like this? Thanks. Yanjipy (talk) 01:10, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Yanjipy: Maybe refimprove is appropriate IF the references do not cover all of the content. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:45, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How to Start Fighting Vandalism

Hi AE, I would like to start fighting vandalism and I wanted to know where I should start. Thanks. Yanjipy (talk) 01:17, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yanjipy: You may download Huggle. You can see patrol recent changes easier than using Wikipedia’s recent change feed since you can directly see the diff. However, in order to “use” Huggle, you need to have rollback flag which you don’t have now, but you can still use read-only mode. After you spot a unconstructive edit, you can open the browser and revert it. After some time, you may request rollback right here so you can actually use it, but such tool should be used in caution since you can make tons of edits in a minute.

@Yanjipy: Also you should get good at identifying vandalism and familiar with some vandal-fighting guidelines or policies. WP:VD, WP:DENY, WP:RBI, WP:TROLLFOOD, WP:IDT, WP:ATWV, WP:IP!=VANDAL, WP:MOV, WP:VVT, WP:VOA blah blah blah. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 06:28, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
