Your edits to Template:WWE Intercontinental Championship

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Template:WWE Intercontinental Championship, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Some tips which might help you out

Hi Jayemd, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:Jayemd/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!"

Tips on referencing

There are lots of ways to do this, some are simple, some more complex.

Personally, I like using citation templates, and fill in as much as I possibly can; maybe a bit more work, but I think it looks better. You have a <REF> at the start, then a suitable cite tag, then </REF>. An example usage is; 

<ref>
{{Citation
 | last = Preston
 | first = Peter
 | title = D. H. Lawrence in the modern world
 | last2 = Hoare
 | first2 = Peter
 | publication-date = 1989
 | place = [[Cambridge]], [England]
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
 | url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J5nRoaOwkPMC&printsec=frontcover#PPA125,M1
 | accessdate = 2008-05-11
}}
</ref>

For all the possible things to include, see Template:Citation

Of course, you don't have to put everything in, just whatever you can. The above example is a book, but I've included a 'convenience link' to a website that displays it.

Then, at the end of the document (but before any 'category' tags), you need a references section. You just put, 

== References ==

{{reflist}}

Hard work? - help is at hand. There are lots of tools that create cite tags automagically.

I also recommend you look at other articles and copy from them - especially featured articles, which should have good refs.

Hope this helps!

Hi

Hi,
How's it going? You seemed interested in the Counter-Vandalism Unit a little while back - did you pursue that any further? Or are you concentrating on article content? You haven't edited as much recently - if you need a hand with anything, just ask... bobrayner (talk) 08:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been creating some articles like Season Ticket Basketball 2003 and Season Ticket Football 2003, though the latter has a broken infobox I don't know how to fix. --Jayemd (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I've finally fixed that broken infobox. --Jayemd (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Category:Wikipedians to user pages

Please only add the above category (and most other categories) to only your userpage. :) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 05:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi Jayemd. I'm just letting you know that I have declined your request for additional user rights. This comes too soon after major issues with your editing. I'm sure you will understand why we can't grant you the use of any tools that need responsible editing at this time. Please consider reapplying in 6 months or so when you nave demonstrated that you have more experience, and when we receive a favourable conclusion of your mentoring and graduated from the CVU/A and seen some significant successful counter-vandalism work. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CVUA

 We see that you need a little more understanding of Counter-Vandalism before you're granted Rollback. The Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy exists to help users, like yourself, understand the way to identify and handle Vandalism through one-on-one instruction. Perhaps you'd like to ask a question of our instructors, or perhaps Enroll in the Academy.

Vandalism Studies Update - August 2012

Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page. Thanks, and happy editing - we can't wait to begin working on the project! --Dan653 (talk) and Theopolisme :)[reply]

August 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Autism, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You might want to give this manual a good read in regards to your edit at Autism. Thanks! Lighthead þ 01:40, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pieces of Both Genitalia

A tag has been placed on Pieces of Both Genitalia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Wyatt Riot (talk) 15:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this mind

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia, as you did at User:Jayemd/WikiFame. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing this website, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia (please see WP:NOT for further details). Thank you.

P.S. Now don't panic, it was, out of altruistic concern, just a friendly tip to bear in mind. Thanks again. Mrt3366 (Talk page?) (New section?) 16:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:The fight to end vandalism

I'm not so sure that Wikipedia:The fight to end vandalism is necessary. Besides duplicating the message of Wikipedia:Vandalism, it promotes the idea that somehow vandalism is acceptable or at least tolerated in the Sandbox, users' own user pages, and humor pages. Please keep in mind that the Sandbox has its own "rules" by community consensus (see WP:BADSAND for more), as do user pages, which restrict what most people would consider "vandalism".

New edit war

New edit war Kashmir conflict (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Do something. Explain the issue to the user. That might be helpful. Mrt3366(Talk?) (New thread?) 11:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice at Talk:Kashmir conflict

Hi Jayemd, I find myself a bit mystified by a couple of pieces of advice you dispensed at Talk:Kashmir conflict. You seem to be suggesting, here, that the disagreeing editors should not use the talk page to discuss their differences. The arguments put forward immediately before your post were reasonably constructive, on the lines of "I think x because of y" -- "well, I disagree because of z", and that is how Wikipedia articles are built. In fact, another uninvolved editor invited the users in question to discuss the issue on the talk page, higher up in that section. What is the reason for trying to prevent the discussion from taking place? There is no incivility present in the discussion. In a previous piece of advice, here, you suggest that the editors should never explain their edits unless explicitly asked to do so, which goes against WP:EDITSUMMARY. Again, this frankly mystifies me. Why advise editors to "only explain your edit if you are asked by other users" -- have you noticed any problems associated with editors over-explaining their edits?

Finally, please do not "fix" spelling and grammar in other editors' signed posts, on talk pages, user talk pages or pages such as Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/Outtakes. For one thing, there is a risk of introducing new errors, as you did here (changing the correct "whose" to the incorrect "who's"). And even when there is a grammar or spelling error, it is considered inappropriate behaviour to edit others' comments except for a few specific cases, as described here. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 16:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Enough with the Justin Bieber jokes

Wikipedia isn't a social network, and that means we don't make jokes about Justin Bieber or other people in articles. These border on WP:BLP violations, which can and will result in blocks and bans. Wyatt Riot (talk) 17:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

welcome templates

Jayemd, what, in your opinion, is the purpose of welcoming new users who have never edited and thanking them for all their contributions? I would be interested to know. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Try your best

- does not mean creating essays for the purpose of creating essays - we already have around 2,000 essays, most of which hardly ever get read. I strongly feel that to avoid this being sent to MfD you should move it to your user space until it has some useful content. Many of us leave our essays in our user space anyway, even if they provide very good advice. By doing so, they can't be interfered with by other users. They can still be linked to though.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Wyatt Riot (talk) 01:39, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated competence issues despite constant warnings. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

I apologize for my destructive behavior on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I love Wikipedia. I have enjoyed my days as a Wikipedian since my first edit on May 17th, 2012. I realize what I did was blatantly wrong and unnecesary, such as calling Brits "attention rapists", the "divided condom", etc., and creating the redirect page "Pieces of Both Genitalia", as well as the Sockpuppetry incident. All I ask from you is one more shot. --Jayemd (talk) 21:54, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I apologize for my destructive behavior on Wikipedia, the free ''encyclopedia'' that anyone can edit. I love Wikipedia. I have enjoyed my days as a Wikipedian since my first edit on May 17th, 2012.

All I ask from you is one more shot. --[[User:Jayemd|Jayemd]] ([[User talk:Jayemd#top|talk]]) 21:54, 20 September 2012 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I apologize for my destructive behavior on Wikipedia, the free ''encyclopedia'' that anyone can edit. I love Wikipedia.
