Concern regarding Draft:Samsung SVI Format

Information icon Hello, Urban Versis 32. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Samsung SVI Format, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

SVI (file format) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, SVI (file format), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster talk 19:56, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will check the information and add more sources, thank you for the feedback! Urban Versis 32 (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:SVI (file format), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I found a source and have expanded the article. - ZLEA T\C 20:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 02:08, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vickers Boxkite

It would be good to know who designed the originals, since Hewlett & Blondeau were not designers. But the real reason I'm leaving the note is that one of the references you gave is a site devoted to copyright violation, and so not acceptable. it would have been better to cite the book that it rips off. I have this at home (I edit from a public library) & will try to remeber to bring it along next time.TheLongTone (talk) 15:58, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit notes

Thank-you for your contributions to the April GOCE blitz. I'm going to review some of your copy-edits and provide feedback; please receive this constructively.

Some of the things I'm noting are referred to in Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS). This is our house style guide, which is specialized for the needs of an international online encyclopedia and may differ from the styles you're used to. Copy editors should be better informed of the MOS than the average Wikipedia editor. That doesn't mean you have to memorize it, just be aware of it and refer to it as needed.

  • from January 14, 2011, to June 29, 2012. You removed the underlined comma. We actually need this comma because with month-day-year dates, the year is a parenthetical. See MOS:DATECOMMA. On the other hand, with from September 7, to December 14, 2012 the underlined comma should be removed. bigger issue next bullet
  • There is a mix of date formats in the article (mdy and dmy). Copy editors should apply one style consistently throughout the article. There is a template at the top of the article's wikicode, {{use dmy dates}}. Assuming that was applied correctly, the dates should be changed to dmy format. The nice thing about dmy dates is that you don't have to worry about those commas.
  • Note that the titles of major works of art (TV shows, films, music albums, books, plays, major paintings and statues) are styled in italics. The titles of minor works of art (TV episodes, skits, songs, book chapters, minor paintings and statues) are styled in double quotes. (See MOS:MAJORWORKS)
  • The plot summaries for the seasons one and two describe what is happening within the context of the series, which is how plot summaries are generally handled. The third season describes it from outside of narrative (referring to "season 3" and "the story") which is a bit jarring. These should be consistent.
  • I did a fair amount of additional copyediting and cleanup which you can see in this diff.

Will add more as I get to other articles. – Reidgreg (talk) 01:36, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping me to be a better copy editor! Urban Versis 32 (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There may be some notability issues with this article so I'm not sure it's worth putting a lot of effort into it (as articles on non-notable subjects may be deleted).

Longer articles tend to be more complex and face more issues for copy-editors. In addition, the size of the article can pose problems for maintaining the level of concentration to take note of fine distinctions and apply consistent style. I generally discourage newer copy editors from working on long articles, but let's see how you did.

  • This list article is arranged like a glossary. If I felt the article was notable and worthwhile, I might apply MOS:GLOSS to it, which is a bit of work. I wouldn't consider this a must-do for copyediting, however.
  • As I mentioned above, there are special stylings for titles of major and minor works of art. A segment or sketch is a fairly minor work of art, and would be styled with double quotes (or perhaps single quotes) rather than italics (MOS:MAJORWORKS). So It is a special segment that has a similar concept to I Object, Your Honor should be: It is a special segment that has a similar concept to "I Object, Your Honor". (This differentiates from the major work, Eat Bulaga!, which is styled in italics.) These styles should be applied consistently throughout the list article.
  • This list article is very, very long. The maximum recommended article size is 10,000 words (WP:LENGTH), and this is more than three times that. Frankly, its bloated and possibly full of trivia. The list entries which are uncited may be removed as trivia, though you might get pushback from the article's authors for doing so. It might be better to mark these with {{citation needed}} or {{trivia-inline}}. That is optional but not a bad idea if you are making a thorough check of a problematic article. What I would expect you to do as a copy-editor is to make the language as concise as possible. A few examples:
    • It is a special segment that has a similar concept to I Object, Your Honor and I Object #NasaanAngHustisya?, that tests the cleverness and originality of the Eat Bulaga! hosts. The hosts are divided into two teams. In each round, both teams are given one specific object. Each group will take turns thinking of and acting out a clever use for that object by realizing what other objects it might resemble. For instance, a closed umbrella roughly resembles a sword or a walking cane. The team must then act out its new function. At the end of each round, the judges decide which team had the cleverest ideas. The only difference between ACTually and I Object is the theme and the setting, and that both teams must now require to mention the use and function of the object. → The hosts are divided into two teams and given an object to improvise a scene, which is judged on cleverness. It differs from "I Object" as the use and function of the object must be mentioned.[citation needed]
    • It is a Facebook promo for the entire month of August 2019 that is part of the 40th-anniversary celebration of Eat Bulaga!. Certain requirements will be met during the show. Participants watching on television must comment on the correct answer, along with a code that will be given by the program, on the designated Facebook post from the official Facebook page of Eat Bulaga! under a certain time limit. A total of 40 participants will be chosen, for the entire month of August 2019. 3 winners will be chosen, who will each win a monthly allowance of ten thousand pesos for one year. → An August 2019 viewer contest with three top prizes of 120,000 pesos.[citation needed]
    • After appearing as a three-year-old contestant in the segment Little Miss Philippines in 1987, Aiza Seguerra became a child wonder and subsequently joined the show to become the youngest host at that time.[2] She received her own segment, Aiza's Kiddie Korner, to feature her funny antics and comic sketches with her co-hosts, and to headline her charisma and many talents, including her famous "duck walk" dance.[3] Later, this segment was renamed Kiddie Korner together with Lady Lee. → A showcase for the talents of Aiza Seguerra,[3] the youngest host at the time, who had previously appeared in "Little Miss Philippines" in 1987 at age 3.[2]
    • It is a segment where the hosts of the Juan for All, All for Juan: Bayanihan of d'Pipol segment search for a sari-sari store that sells multiple Alaska Fortified Milk products on a certain barangay. The spotted sari-sari store will win a cash prize and gift packs from Alaska. The segment is sponsored by the milk brand Alaska. → A segment in the "Juan for All" theme, where the hosts search a particular neighbourhood for a sari-sari store which carries the line of their sponsor's products; the first store found receives a cash prize and merchandise from the sponsor.
  • Like other proper names, brand names and companies are styled with word capitalization but not italics. multiple Alaska Fortified Milk products → multiple Alaska Fortified Milk products
  • ATM with the BAE'S is a segment of Eat Bulaga! that aired since Sept 2015 - Jan 2016. Alden Richards and Sam Y.G are the Hosts of this EB! segment Acronyms should be defined on first use (MOS:ACRO). If you can't determine its meaning, tag it with {{expand acronym}}.
  • 5 contestants are chosen from the studio audience In general use, numbers from 0–9 should be spelled out (though there are exceptions such as dates). It's particularly expected for such a number to be spelled out when it is at the beginning of a sentence (MOS:SPELL09).
  • when the Music Stops to pick a BAE, so that they could join Jackpot Round that they called ATM Ang Tenga Mo!. All the contestants are willing to answer the Questions that they prepared in the Jackpot Round looks like a lot of overcapitalization (MOS:CAPS)

You made some good edits, but I don't feel it was nearly thorough enough to count as a completed copyedit. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:21, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It appears that you addressed the {{lead too short}} tag by moving the article's History section up into the lead. This is not a good editing practice. The lead should summarize the body of the article, and generally there shouldn't be anything in the lead which isn't also in the body of the article. (see WP:Lead dos and don'ts, MOS:LEAD.) A better edit would have been to retain the History section and summarize the key points of the History section and the other sections in the lead.
  • A quotation was styled in italics; it should be styled in double quotation marks. (MOS:QUOTE)
  • The court and government asked them to pay for 3 crore property damages. You removed the word crore, which is part of the Indian numeric system. What we should do here is to give the figure in Indian units, then Western units in parenthesis. i.e.: 3 crore (30 million rupees).
  • The organisation had earlier protested programs You changed organisation → organization. However, Indian English uses the British spelling with an s. (see Indian English#Spelling and MOS:ENGVAR.)
  • The section Relief and charity work is in reverse chronological order, which is a little weird.
  • The section Advocacy and protests was disorganized, and could have used layout work as part of the copy edit. I organized it topically: protests which turned violent, protests against women's rights, protests against portrayals of Mohammad, and protests of things outside of India.

With the problems introduced, I wouldn't consider this a complete copy edit.

Copy editing requires thoroughness, attention to detail, and a good understanding of style issues. I'm sure you'd get better results if you took your time and really considered the best way to present the information. – Reidgreg (talk) 01:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your copy edit seems to be limited to rephrasing one sentence and adding a half-dozen wikilinks. Here are some additional changes I made to the article:

  • In the list of comparative health advantages, there is overcapitalization. The section also has a forward slash (MOS:SLASH) and some consideration should be given to whether the list should be ordered or unordered (MOS:LISTNUMBERED). If ordered, the list introduction should indicate why.
  • There is more overcaptialization in later section headers, which should have sentence case.
  • from 1978 - 1998 → from 1978 to 1998 (MOS:RANGE)

Note that the article was tagged with {{essay-like}}. This is an issue that a copy editor can address by applying encyclopedic tone to the article. Check the diff of my edit. While an essay tries to lead the reader through an argument, an encyclopedia article relays the accepted facts. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:16, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

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!

An article you recently created, Kawasaki Ki-22, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Improving the Urban air mobility article

Hi User:Urban Versis 32 How are you? I noticed you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation and wanted to see if you'd be open to collaborate. The Wikipedia article Urban air mobility is outdated, and I've researched to create a better version in my sandbox. Another Wikipedian has given the proposed new version their thumbs up but has been inactive. Would you be open to review and if you accept it, publish the new content on the article. Please let me know if you have any questions!--Chefmikesf (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I always like to help review and improve articles that need them! 😃 Urban Versis 32 (talk) 02:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Article Needed for sysbench request help

Hi UV32,

sysbench needs an article. It is used by linux community and there is no article for this software. — Gregwire13 (talk!) 22:08, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gregwire, I would like to assist with your article. I need to do some research to see if the article is notable enough for its own page. I also use Linux and am part of the Linux WikiProject, so I know a little bit about the sysbench command. As soon as you publish the first revision of the article, I can help too. I will add it to the list of in-development pages at the Linux WikiProject too. — Urban Versis 32KB(talk | contribs) 22:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox request by @TheGOATTB12

Hi, Urban Versis 32. I read on the Userboxes page you are open to userbox requests. I do actually have a userbox that I want you to make. One that says "This user is grateful for Man-Man he opened up doors" but link the Man-Man to Kendrick Lamar, and in the left container thing an "FT" that links to Family Ties (song). I have no preference on colors or anything like that. Thanks! TheGOATTB12 (talk) 11:47, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I created your custom userbox. I am open to suggestions for tweaking it if you wish.

Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 20:27, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
  • Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, 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!

You Rejected a draft Draft:Khajan Das

Hi Urban Versis 32, You just rejected the Draft:Khajan Das giving a reason that submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. This is an Indian government website which is a reliable reference. And mla is a notable topic and passes WP:NPOL. Please read. Nupamjo (talk) 18:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care

You cited the page reads like an advertisement. This organization is big - so it has a lot of content - and I believe you and other editors prior to you have failed to see the neutral sources and the neutral language presented.

This NGO is recognized by the United Nations, has several congressional proclamations in the United States. It has been noted for starting global movements for raising awareness of organ donations in Australia. It has several animal welfare initiatives in India and the United Kingdom.

The NGO just does a lot and because of the heavy content, it seems you have mistaken it for non-neutral or an "ad". I'm creating the page because it deserves to be out in the public where hopefully others will contribute to its edits.

I'm ready to make changes, but the overall page is objective. A request to re-read or point out sections where it's too "ad-like" and suggestions from existing pages so I can make a better edit.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to review, I truly appreciate it. Each edit has made me a better contributor, I feel. Dmehta81 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll leave some comments on your draft to point out parts of the article that aren't written from a neutral point of view. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 22:49, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help on Userboxes

Dear, UrbanVersis32 I need some help with my userboxes on the user page. The text, drawings fall on to the right completely ruining the organization. If you could take some time to edit my page, I would be incredibly happy. Thank you. अथर्व कॉल (talk) 21:38, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I fixed the error causing the text to fall to the left. You had too many spaces between some userboxes, causing them to fail. I also noticed that one of your images was stuck below the userbox, the drawing of the Indosaurus Matleyi. Unfortunately, as the userbox template does not support images on the right-hand side, I had to replace the images with an image gallery. Please reply if you have any questions.

Draft:TMGM

Hello, could you please elaborate on the exact reasons for decline of DRAFT:TMGM. For example your message says it sounds like an advertisement and it is not from "neutral point of view," but I am having a hard part determining which exact parts have this issue? could you please state the exact parts or sentences that have this issue? In addition, which citations are not considered reliable or independent? I have not used any source that is not independent? "independent" means that they do not have any relations with the site. Please point out which exact source is not independent or reliable? There are 26 sources provided, are you saying everything not independent or reliable? Thanks. Chessterb (talk) 22:36, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chessterb. Your draft reads more like an advertisement than a proper entry because it has sales-oriented language. In your article, try to avoid sentences like "TMGM offers contract for difference (CFD) trading with 7 asset classes and more than 15,000 trading products under the regulation of the Australian Security and Investment Commission (ASIC) and the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC)." For more information, visit Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements masquerading as articles and Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 01:08, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please try to avoid citations in other languages than English. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 01:09, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I will revise that. However, citations in other languages are acceptable. The 2 included are from reputable foreign publications and can easily be translated using Google Translate button in the chrome browser. I will look for some other sources before I resubmit. I know they have tons more coverage. Chessterb (talk) 07:44, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, can you tell me the issues with these sources?

I'm not saying any of those specific links are unreliable; check Wikipedia:Reliable sources for a more specific guideline. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 20:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet quitting

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-to-rule is very similar to Quiet Quitting. I think you were looking for that.

The motivation is different (temporary industrial action vs. a personal and undeclared position). For my two cents', they're worth different articles but should have links to reach other. 49.186.33.53 (talk) 21:11, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll set up "See Also" sections on both pages. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 01:24, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I gave a first copy-editing pass on your submission. I mostly tried to tighten the language, expanded the how to a bit, and reduce the number of sections and footnotes by merging them together and inlining the information.

Let me know how it looks. I tried to keep as much of your original written style as possible. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signpost article on Userboxes

Might be worth covering some of the more recent arguments about userboxes. Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:UBX/onemanonewoman_4th_nomination, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Qartagir/Userboxes/Fascist and Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:FerrousTigrus/ub/non-bias_hitler are good examples of how there's been a recent decision to ban user boxes that, well, encourage hatred towards groups of users that's pretty well enforced. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 05:28, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info on userbox controversies, I'll add that to the article. By the way, I needed some more input for the "Interview" section of my article, so if you would like to be interviewed on userboxes, here are the questions:
  1. How did you first get into userboxes?
  2. How long have you been using/creating userboxes?
  3. Why do you like userboxes?
  4. What's your favorite userbox and why?
Thanks, Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 15:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the information to the article: Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Next_issue/In_focus#Recent_controversies. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 16:03, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth mentioning that I'm one of the ancients, so a lot of Userbox things for me were things I set up years ago. But I'd say I got into Userboxes through Commons. Commons is a multilingual site; as such, knowing what languages people speak is fairly vital, and a whole series of userboxes exist to communicate information about this. It's simple, easy to use, and just really helps communication there. Which I guess makes them my favourite userboxes, since I think they are by far the most important. I added them in 2008, about two years after I started editing, which I think I started doing in February 2006, though between Single Login not existing back then and a period of pseudonymous editing around 2008 after some harassment creating an account snarl here, it's a little harder to tell from my contributions on en-wiki as opposed to Commons, where I've always used my real name.
I suppose I'm not that interested in sharing personal details as some. If people need to know I act in Gilbert and Sullivan or write music or studied biology or live in Scotland or≥ am gay they probably know, and if they want to know what I primarily do on Wikipedia my user page archiving my 709 featured pictures will tell them. Hence, I'm not as userbox-y as some.
That said, I do believe Wikipedia should be a friendly, welcoming place, and any user box that espouses hate really has to go. Your right to say your awful views is not one that applies to Wikipedia. And, frankly? I'd rather, for example, that trans people feel safe editing Wikipedia even if we lose dozens of people who really, really want to use their userpages to attack trans people and are up in arena they can't. The kind of people desperate to use their userpages to attack other Wikipedians are exactly the kind of people we don't want. Basically, Wikipedia:No racists and Wikipedia:No Nazis.

Thanks for the input! I really appreciate your time. :) Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 22:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the format my responses had to fit into and have taken the liberty of editing them a bit. I hope it's clear that while my interaction with Userboxes more recently has been to get rid of some awful ones, I do think they're great for Wikipedia. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 01:49, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a userbox on Pirates of the Caribbean

Looking for further feedback if possible on my draft.

First off thanks for helping make sure Wikipedia is able to function I appreciate you volunteering your time. I was wondering if you would take another look at the Draft:PCS VoIP article again, and provide any feedback if I had not made the sufficient changes. After looking at other VoIP company's pages it was clear to me that in my case less is more and focus on the technology of VoIP and Pathways to other areas of VoIP. I properly linked any locations and terminology and trimmed my sources to only include outside independent sources.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ryans,
I recommend you take a look at some of the articles in Wikipedia:Advertising, because your article seems to read slightly like an advertisement. Also look into expanding your article. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 19:41, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signature request

Hello, Urban Versis 32! I have noticed that you create signatures on request, so I want to ask for your kind help about it. I guess that, after using the standard signature since registering in 2010, I got a bit bored with it. So I'd love to have a "customized", or personalized signature. —Sundostund (talk) 12:56, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, what type of signature would you have in mind? Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 22:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have some exact idea, actually. I was thinking of somewhat bold letters (similar to the letters in your signature), in green, as I use that color in the infobox on my user page for quite awhile now, so it became a kind of "trademark color" for me... Again inspired by your signature, I would also want to have both my talk page and contributions visible in the signature, with the exact style of the letters – somewhat small and not bold. —Sundostund (talk) 10:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I created two variations of something similar to your description:
If you want me to add, change, or remove something, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll change or fix it. A good signature, suited to your personal preference, is how others remember you! Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 00:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to tag you, so hereby: @Sundostund
Also, I can add a dash right before the username if you wish. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 00:04, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your work, I really appreciate that! I prefer the first variation, as I like its darker shade of green. I would just change the italic-style of the last five letters; it would be better if all ten letters are written in the same, ordinary way, without italic. Also, would it be possible that, later on, I myself change something in the signature, if I want to? I wouldn't want to bother you about it, if I can do it by myself. —Sundostund (talk) 10:32, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And yes, there should be a long dash (—) before the username, as I use in my current signature. —Sundostund (talk) 11:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, here's the result of the requested adjustments:
Sundostund (talk / contribs)
And here's the code to copy into the settings:
[[User:Sundostund|<b><span style="color:green">Sundo<i>stund</i></span></b>]] <sup>([[User talk:Sundostund|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Sundostund|contribs]])</sup>
Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 23:24, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You probably meant this to be the result of the adjustments:
Sundostund (talk / contribs)
And its code:
— [[User:Sundostund|<b><span style="color:green">Sundostund</span></b>]] <sup>([[User talk:Sundostund|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Sundostund|contribs]])</sup>
It may be some misunderstanding; you posted one of the previous two versions of the signature, without changes. —Sundostund (talk) 23:39, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I also have to ask, is it necessary to always use copy-paste of the code, for the signature to be used, or is there some "automated" way for it to become visible? —Sundostund (talk) 23:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To answer the last question, to my knowledge the only way to start actively using a signature is to copy and paste it into the settings. Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 00:55, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think I got it, by changing settings in Special:Preferences. — Sundostund (talk / contribs) 00:02, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for your help, really! When thinking of it, I'll probably not keep that long dash as an integral part of the signature; its somewhat aesthetically better if the dash is added separately from the signature. —Sundostund (talk / contribs) 00:07, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about the italics, I think I forgot to remove them before I copied the code. I apologize for the inconvenience. Anyway, I see you've started using the signature! Thanks for requesting my services (Before you I'd only done one other signature besides my own). Urban Versis 32KB(talk / contribs) 00:54, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
