how do I create aticles on Wikipedia?--Rowbro (talk) 03:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pre-Sequel (September 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pre-Sequel and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Pre-Sequel, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pre-Sequel (September 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AngusWOOF was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Sequel. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sequel article talks about interquels and other -quels.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Final warning - sourcing and notability

Look, I’m sympathetic that Wikipedia rules can be complicated and hard to learn. But I don’t feel you’re making any effort at all. Your edits are unsourced, unless you’re reviving articles with a consensus against having an article.

If you promise to take the time to learn how Wikipedia works, we’re fine. But any more unsourced content, unsourced articles being created, or reviving old articles that have been deleted/merged due to a consensus that they weren’t notable, and your account will be blocked.

Some important reading for you

WP:V -explains that all content you add to Wikipedia MUST have a source.
WP:RS - explains what a usable source is.
WP:REFB - explains how to add sources
WP:GNG - explains when it it appropriate for something to have its own article.

Until you understand the basics, I don’t recommend you create any more articles. Sergecross73 msg me 04:17, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize you had this final warning already when I reverted you again at the console generation article. Wikipedia isn't for your opinions on topics or what you think "probably" is the case. Provide rationales for removing content that is based in the policies above, such as giving proof that 3DO belongs in some other generation. If you continue, you'll be blocked. -- ferret (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

why should 3DO should be in other consoles

from what I can tell, 3DO isn't really 3D, it sorta blurred the difference between movies and games, instead of displaying 3D, it displays FMV (full motion video) although CD Rom add ons and Philips CDI basically do the same thing, It even went out of its way to insult Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis calling them "Baby Toys" even though most people owned them and not many people owned a 3DO so it came and went and now is just a curious piece of history. 3Do was pretty rare and didn't sell very well

December 2020

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: This is the user who sometimes edits logged out as 73.93.54.201. I've matched this block to the IP block you placed. Please feel free to adjust either block as you see fit without consulting me. -- ferret (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Thank you very much, looks reasonable to me ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021

I feel like you've been warned multiple times on talk pages, but just to confirm here with a final warning. Please read WP:NOTAFORUM. Wikipedia talk pages are not for random personal thoughts or personal questions. They are having discussions related to editing and making changes to the article. If you violate NOTAFORUM anymore, your account will be blocked for this as well. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 18:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb and reliable sources

In regards to this edit, the IMDb is not a reliable source. It's even listed as a canonical example of an unreliable source in Wikipedia:Reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:12, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

then what about peoplepill?--Rowbro (talk) 21:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

and yet I ask, What is required to edit here?Rowbro (talk) 22:25, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 16:26, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Rowbro (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I will try to find sources next time, I will try to do more research. Sorry for the unsourced editing. whatever source that I might trust, I can reference that source. all you gotta do is tell me if it is reliable. I have searched for the month that the Saturn was discontinued in 98 Rowbro (talk) 04:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

We will need more than your mere promise to "try"; you will need to demonstrate that you understand the issues here. I might suggest that for the next reviewer you describe an edit that you wish to make along with the source for it. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:49, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Decline reason:

You were unwilling or unable to follow the instructions 331dot gave you. This convinces me your block is entirely appropriate. Yamla (talk) 15:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to find more sources next time. perhaps I found a source just todayRowbro (talk) 15:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I do not believe you have the competence to edit here currently. Additionally, I am more concerned that you are attempting to bypass your block by editing while logged out. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:06, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You really, really don't want to go with that unblock request. Really. Take it down. Step away, review our policies and guidelines, and look for an edit you could make if unblocked. Then, file an unblock request, describe the specific edit you'd make and give the exact source you'd use. Making unblock requests like the above are all but guaranteed to count against you, as it's obviously pointless. In no way does it demonstrate you are even aware of WP:RS, for example, let alone that you fully understand that policy. --Yamla (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

here it is https://segaretro.org/images/f/fe/AnnualReport1998_English.pdf Rowbro (talk) 15:33, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be indicating you lack sufficient competence to edit here. Is that what you are saying?!? Frankly, I'm not sure Wikipedia is the place for you at the moment. Maybe in a few years. --Yamla (talk) 15:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I wish to put the correct month of the Saturn's discontinuation and I think I found the right source https://segaretro.org/images/f/fe/AnnualReport1998_English.pdf it is a magazine made by Sega themselves, note: you can't argue with the company Rowbro (talk) 15:42, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate request RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For appeal reviewers, note that I've also blocked the user's static IP for 2 years as they frequently edit logged out. -- ferret (talk) 15:44, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RickinBaltimore: I don't think it matters here because of the clear CIR issue, but just to clarify, I blocked the user and their IP at the same time. Active evasion did not occur during this block. -- ferret (talk) 17:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All I am trying to do is aplologizeRowbro (talk) 15:47, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We understand that. But it takes more than an apology. You need to demonstrate you can handle editing. You really haven't yet. I had similar concerns about your WP:NOTAFORUM violations. I almost blocked you for that. You didn't seem to ever show any understanding towards that either, you simply got blocked for something else first. Sergecross73 msg me 20:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I could perfectly handle that. I will try to give more details if I find them. I am all about giving more detail, but at the same time, trying to make the reader understand what he/she is reading, I know this is not a storybook, this is an online encyclopedia, so I need to spread more facts than opinions.Rowbro (talk) 19:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you are perfectly capable of handling that, demonstrate it! We've asked you to demonstrate this over and over again. Either you aren't listening or you aren't capable. So far, we've seen a claim that you can cite the correct month of the Saturn's discontinuation based on a Sega magazine, even though the link you provided was not a Sega magazine and didn't cite the information. Nor, for that matter, did you even tell us what month you thought was correct. Frankly, this is going absolutely nowhere. I strongly oppose any unblock here, and won't be responding further. --Yamla (talk) 19:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Sergecross73 msg me 03:09, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The date I now know is correct for the Saturn's discontinuation is, March 31st, 1998. But before, I thought it was October 1998, cause That was one month before the Dreamcast was released in JapanRowbro (talk) 03:43, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is not correct, nor are we interested in your speculations. Perhaps come back in a few years, once you are better able to understand what's required to edit here. --Yamla (talk) 10:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
