Hey man, just needed something to show my friends. Sorry. But, really? Does it even matter if one more name goes there

Trouted

[edit]

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: I trouted myself because I replied to a bot last year. I.hate.spam.mail.here (This is YOUR page) (talk) 20:35, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Hi @Theroadislong, I couldn't see why those edits were vandalism. The vandalism information page says:
On Wikipedia, vandalism has a very specific meaning: editing (or other behavior) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia, in a variety of languages, presenting the sum of all human knowledge.
I don't think I was trying to defeat the project's purpose. Can you please explain more? Thank you so much! -- I.hate.spam.mail.here (This is YOUR page) (talk) 23:03, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK my mistake, I have undone my edit. Theroadislong (talk) 23:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Caution

[edit]

Hey! I noticed that you've answered questions on Teahouse as well as asking one (or more, I've only seen one). I suggest you be a bit cautious when answering questions and make sure you actually know the answer to the question the user is asking. Don't want you to end up i a situation I ended up where I was taking on more than I was able to actually handle. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf: Sorry about that. Thanks for the reminder! I.hate.spam.mail.here (This is YOUR page) (talk) 18:03, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's alright. You've done nothing wrong as of yet. Just a little warning so you don't end up like me a few months ago. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:10, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Self-warning

[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing.

Reason for this self-warning: I accidentally made edits as an IP. Teahouse says it's okay, but this template doesn't say so.

San Carlos Street, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  1. New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
  2. Christmas Island AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
  3. Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
  4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
  5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
  6. United States Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
  7. England Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions and your attention to the Aragonite Hazardous Waste Incinerator. Your edit created a redundancy error in that it linked back to the Aragonite Hazardous Waste Incinerator article itself, rather than pointing to Toole County, Utah. It has been fixed now, but I thought you should know. It's helpful to use the Show Preview button in the future. Happy editing! Netherzone (talk) 23:55, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Sorry about not using the preview button. Thanks for letting me know! I.hate.spam.mail.here (talk | contributions) 00:00, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Stop icon This is your only warning; if you constructively edit again, like you did at Template:Uw-constructive3, you may be given a barnstar without further warning. [Joke]

Editing newsletter 2022 – #1

[edit]

Read this in another languageSubscription list for the multilingual newsletterLocal subscription list

New editors were more successful with this new tool.

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.

Rollback

[edit]

Hi Weeklyd3. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 22:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Fastily! weeklyd3 (message me | my contributions) 23:13, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
