Hello BigPadresDUDE, I am going to revert your edits which unredirected Brooke Logan and Donna Logan from the page that they belong at. When Logan family was up for deletion, most of the keep "votes" suggested it was a good place to merge character articles that could not stand on their own. That's why I went through all the articles for the characters related to that family, looked them over and saw that not one of them contained anything with real world relevance (no Impact, Reception, Casting, Writing sections), then boldly redirected those articles to Logan family. I felt and still feel that the move was for the betterment of the soap opera articles in general. We soap opera editors already have a bad reputation here on Wikipedia, articles like the ones I redirected just compound that with their overly long plot summaries that are written in the past tense and with inuniverse perspective. All of the character's important storyline information (who their family is, who they marry, who they have children with, who their children are) is already mentioned in the Logan family, but the article has the benefit of not containing an overly long and detailed plot summary. To me, they were a perfect fit there and they can always be un-redirected when someone wants to expand the article. If you do plan on expanding these articles, then here are some examples of soap opera articles which are at Featured article or Good article status: Pauline Fowler, EastEnders, and Dimitri Marick. Here also are some B-Class soap opera articles which, though they aren't at FA or GA status yet, do go beyond just plot summary and have extensive sourcing: Todd Manning, Bianca Montgomery, and Erica Kane. You should also read up on Soap Opera style guidelines, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). I hope you are going to expand these articles, but I am going to redirect them until they are restored with notability. See you around.

For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles. If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. I know you've had a number of people jump on you about the edits for the SF/NY Giants. Given what was happening there, I had a look at your other contributions, and it looks to me like you're doing the same sort of thing all over the place. Maybe not every article, but a lot of them are looked after by different projects, like WP:BASEBALL for the Giants, Pete Rose - two you've tried to work on. I know you've said in some of the talk pages that you've looked at what others have said and tried to follow it, but its hard to accept that when there's been as much discussion as there has about the types of edits you've made. Fair enough, the Giants one may not have ben easy to spot if you didn't know about the WP:BASEBALL, but the Pete Rose one had an ongoing discussion about the exact change you made on the corresponding talk page, as well as in WP:BASEBALL. I've got a couple of suggestions that will help make it easier for you, and less likely to have people angry at you:
Hopefully I don't sound like too much of a nag or boring old fart, and hopefully I haven't scared you off from participating on here. Anyone who's willing to help out is always welcome in my opinion. New people joining are going to tend to make mistakes and step on people's toes without realising it. As long as you're willing to listen to advice, and to learn from the mistakes you make, you shouldn't have too much in the way of problems here.

For the template you wish to use it with you need to use an image that is free to use in any article, like the image File:Petco_Park_Interior.JPG. I'm not good with copyright law and such, so if you have any more concerns I'd suggest you leave a message on WT:BASEBALL and someone else with more experience in the area will be able to answer the question better. Borgarde (talk) 02:50, 31 August 2009 (UTC) Hello Padres Dude!While I am a New York Yankees fan first and foremost, I do enjoy the San Diego Padres (and really enjoyed their run to the '98 WS (Ken Caminiti was my fav RIP) before they went against my Yanks of course) and love a good casual project so I am here to help if I can! You can e-mail me at pmvgvt@yahoo.com if you have any questions about the Padres project or general Wikipedia questions as I have been doing this for a few years. -Phil5329 (talk) 03:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC) Continuing from WP:BaseballLets continue the discussion here so we dont overrun WP:Baseball with our conversation. Looking at your edits it seems your pretty good considering your a new editor and it looks like you did a good job with WikiProject San Diego Padres--Yankees10 02:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC) thanks man no one ever seems to be nice to me as i really dont have any friends here which makes me sad i do my best and hope to be good sometime and would you be interested in joining Wiki Project Padres and adopt me?

Watch your spelling and punctuationI removed your first addition and second addition to the Téa Delgado article due to all the errors in spelling and punctuation, as you know. I will add it back once I have cleaned it up. But in the future...make sure that your additions are better presented. This is an encyclopedia, after all. Flyer22 (talk) 03:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
September 2009Your recent addition to Gigi Morasco has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Your addition of text from http://www.soapcentral.com/oltl/whoswho/gigi.php to this article is inappropriate, you must write all content you add yourself, and/or cite your sources. — TAnthonyTalk 05:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC) You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gigi Morasco. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. — TAnthonyTalk 04:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

RENice page.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 08:34, 14 September 2009 (UTC) Jackson Montgomery and Erica Kane couple articleI saw your query on Rocksey's talk page not too long ago. I am going to tell you what she should have told you: You should not create this article, unless it passes WP:Notability. For a quick layout, Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas clearly displays what is needed in order to create a soap opera couple article here. Though winning a major award alone would not be enough for notability. I will go further and say that you should also not create this article...unless it has good or decent grammar/spelling. You have spelling and grammar issues. Your version of this article in your workspace is not anywhere close to being acceptable for Wikipedia. Even the headings are wrongly formatted (seeing as you capitalize the beginning of each word in them). See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Article titles, headings, and sections. You should study articles such as JR Chandler and Babe Carey, Reese Williams and Bianca Montgomery, etc., etc. to see how a fictional couple or supercouple article should be formatted here at Wikipedia.

Afaber012 (talk) 05:20, 21 September 2009 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC) Check out that policy. Skye Chandler is best known as Skye Chandler, not as Skye Chandler Quartermaine. In addition, cut-and-paste moves, which is what you did in this case, should not be done. Why not? Because it takes away the article history. This article will soon be moved back. Think about Wikipedia's common name policy before moving any other articles. Flyer22 (talk) 13:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC) This is quite possibly the most moved soap opera article on Wikipedia. The long standing consensus has been that the article should remain at Carly Corinthos. A long time abuser and banned editor who desperately wants to edit here despite getting regularly blocked loves to move that article. You'd be amazed at the number of new, male soap opera editors who love to move that article. Please leave it where it is. AniMatedraw 03:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed in another discussion you mentioned that your wife may be occasionally editing with your account. Please note that the sharing of accounts is prohibited by our policy (read WP:NOSHARE) and there is a chance your account could be blocked for doing so. I would encourage your wife to register her own account to edit with to avoid any further confusion or issues.

Non-free imagesDifferent images aren't the problem. The fact is these are all non-free images, and part of Wikipedia's mission is that we use non-free content as sparingly as possible. All non-free images need to pass all ten criteria of our non-free image policy, and these don't (especially criteria 3a and 8). Merely "wanting to know what something looks like" isn't enough, unfortunately. If a non-free image is critical for the reader to understand part of an article which cannot be explained sufficiently in text, then it may be appropriate, but use outside those criteria is not allowed. Thanks, Black Kite 23:03, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Capitalization and section headersWhen titling sections we need to follow some basic rules. One is simpler is better. On Emily Quartermaine you changed Second Chances to The Begining and End Of Emily and Nikolas. That's way too long and detailed and not precisely correct. It wasn't the "beginning" of Emily and Nikolas, and you didn't spell beginning correctly. Secondly, your capitalization is wrong. Generally only the first word and proper nouns should be capitalized. You should have titled it The beginning and end of Emily and Nikolas. "Beginning", "end", and "of" are not proper nouns. AniMatedraw 02:49, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Pitty.JPGThank you for uploading File:Pitty.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY (TALK) 06:58, 15 October 2009 (UTC) |
