Hello

My name is Buster7. Welcome to Wikipedia. I will be in touch with you later today. . Buster Seven Talk 14:47, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for warm welcome - I have only one problem: If I add citations - I don`t know what I must do with the html code...to add the source name. For example reference 2 here: Angel Balevski looks not good: ^ http://www.ias-icsd.org/resources/ICSD-IAS-Presidium.pdf

First things first. Good habits. You need to always sign anything you add to a talk page with fours "tildes. Which you will find Up in the left hand corner of your keyboard. Maybe check out this page before we start...and give it a quick read. It seems from the way you are editing articles that you are aware of many of them already. . Buster Seven Talk 21:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We will go over your editing to the Angel Balevski article soon. You did very well. Have you edited at Wikipedia before? . Buster Seven Talk 21:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken a brief look at your contributions and notice that you are already quite capable as an editor. Let me point out one thing I noticed. You don't use the edit summary to explain what you are doing. I would suggest that, for your own benefit and the benefit of your fellow editors that you begin to remember to use the edit summary, always! Buster Seven Talk 21:23, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to do some edits to the Balevski article. You can then see what I did and we can discuss my changes. . Buster Seven Talk 21:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - what can I do against conflicts ? Because I tried to answer you twice but anything is lost. Brrr....--Acad1989 (talk) 21:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not much you can do but wait. It happens a lot when many editors are all trying to "talk" at the same time. If what you replied was long and you get a edit conflict message you should copy what you write so you don't have to say it over. . Buster Seven Talk 21:50, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know you had an "edit conflict" situation...but I have not heard from you since then. Shall we continue? . Buster Seven Talk 11:50, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was only a conflict on this site...:), now I copy all what I write before save. I wanted only say that I have worked sometimes here as IP - but only small contributions. I tried to make the reference style in my draft IUAPPA as a training - puh..., its not so easy, one simple mistake and you got a crazy result, and also I saw that there are different styles... I have maybe problems with paraphrase, this was the reaction of my IUAPPA draft. And I was astonished that so many second references are needed for notability - its hard work, specially if a organization make bad PR Work. After the Kofler article I found so many references that I add some of them, even I found other persons were no article is here, and so I create some. I have already a small working list....enough for this year, because I must work....Thank you for assistance.--Mingo 12:54, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

A new thread for a different conversation on a different topic

I suggest you create a user page. Buster Seven Talk 21:54, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A user page is a nice addition to your Wikipedia experience. They can be informative or just fun or anywhere in between. As for references, check out Help:Referencing for beginners. I changed the reference on the Angel Balevski page. You might check it out to see the difference, before (you) and after (me). That is how I did a lot of my early learning here at WP. I would see what another editor did so I would know better the next time. Good Luck, stay in touch. I'm always available for assistance. . Buster Seven Talk 13:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting you use the edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed. It also helps you to specifically locate edits you have made in the past (via View history or User contributions). So please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. . Buster Seven Talk 22:00, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Angel Balevski article

Check out this diff and see how I changed how the reference was desplaying in the reflist. I used the Template box and chose "cite web" in the drop-down menu. If it had been a book, the cite choice would be "cite Book"...etc. . Buster Seven Talk 22:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC).[reply]

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:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
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) 12:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Acad1989. Try [1]. It might fit the Golden Rule. One more thing. If you continue to NOT sign your edits on talk pages, I'm afraid I will have to withhold my time and assistance. Reliable secondary sources are available if you ask the right google questions. Go to the sites that Li235 suggests. . Buster Seven Talk 16:07, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - I have a technical problem with my signature - I change something to Mingo, now if I press the button Mingo comes - but not as signature....and after some minutes the signature appears. What shall I do ? Maybe revert the name..--Mingo 16:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

(ec) I was about to leave the following message but got an "edit conflict" message instead.

"In the top left hand corner of your keyboard is the key that shows (~) in the upper-case. If you press it 4 times (normally using ~~~~), and hit enter, your generic signature will show up. Wikipedia:Signatures explains it in much more detail. Good Luck!. Buster Seven Talk 16:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)".[reply]

But I see you figured it out. Well Done! . Buster Seven Talk 16:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BTW (=By the way) the (ec) at the front of my message lets you (and anyone else that is watching or will read this in the future) know that I experienced a "edit conflict". Its a courtesy that most editors use to explain a delay or an out-of-sequence response. . Buster Seven Talk 16:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Acad1989. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice. I try very hard to keep a neutral point of view and not to take content not directly. The real problem I had was regarding Mission, I looked at it on other scintific sites and did similar. Otherwise it will be difficult to understand.... Mayby you have an idea ? I have reformulated almost everything else. The International Academy of Science is very often mentioned in other articles, but only as International Academy of Science without Munich (this is the legal name !). I checked in each case if the linking and the reference is correct, I add Munich and a links in other articles. Better would be a label International Academy of Science without Munich or a redirect, that would simplify some things. I am actually finished, maybe some one can help to neutralize the article. Also a small infobox would be good. Thank you. --Mingo (talk) 23:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
