The young and the Restless- Gina Tognoni

Can I ask why you deleted the sources that I added from TVGuide and TV Line about Gina Tognoni joining Young and the Restless? Were they not two valid sources confirming the fact. I knew TV guide was the place where the news was first confirmed. I noticed that there were sources for the other debuting actors and no sources for Tognoni, so found two valid ones and added them. So, I was just wondering why you deleted it? also, it looks as if the IP that it says you reverted from is not this IP. i found that a bit strange. Thanks!184.160.203.195 (talk) 16:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)Samusek2[reply]

Oh, sorry about that! I somehow thought that you were removing that source, instead of adding. Tip: don't use huggle when you have to be in a meeting in 2 minutes. Also, the reason it shows a different IP is because residental IP addresses change regularly. If you want to have a stable contrib history and a stable talk page, you can register for an account for free. Cheers! Thanks for reverting! --Lixxx235 (talk) 17:35, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

That was pretty thoughtful of you asking if I wanted adminship. I still have thoughts to become an administrator and were you asking me if I wanted to become an administrator? If so, how would I do this? Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 22:18, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Simply ask someone willing to nominate you for adminship at WP:RFA. I am willing to do this, and you may also self-nominate, but you probably want a more experienced user(by edits). --Lixxx235 (talk) 22:28, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I had to go, but here are some of my personal tips for you: get more active doing administrative tasks- vandal reverting, reviewing, AfD/AfC, etc. get just a few more edits- maybe 8k? With that, you should get admin by an overwhelming majority. Just my two grains of salt. Thanks, and good luck! --Lixxx235 (talk) 00:14, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, did I say "two grains of salt"? Whoops. I meant to say "my two pennies, which you should probably take with a grain of salt". Tiring day, I probably should be on a WikiBreak but couldn't bring myself to. --Lixxx235 (talk) 02:41, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are no requirements for becoming admin, but people do have opinion that how the admin should be. OccultZone (Talk) 03:52, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lixxx, you mean 8k in total or 8k more? I think 8k more would be better choice. OccultZone (Talk) 03:54, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would not nominate this user for an RfA, as they'd probably have a high chance of getting a WP:NOTNOW response. Get more experience, create more articles, contribute more, all the usual stuff. Tutelary (talk) 03:56, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Highly, sometimes the incompetent RFA end up moving into some type of draft. OccultZone (Talk) 04:21, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have no further comment here, both these users are more experienced than me and know more about the process. I was primarily reviewing sucessful archived RfAs and saw that Ashbeckjonathan might be a good candidate. --Lixxx235 (talk) 13:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrity Catchphrase

Hello Lixx, it's me again. I just saw your revert of my edit to Celebrity Catchphrase. As you can see by the edit history, I found the official press release from the ITV Press Centre announcing the broadcast of the 2nd of three Celebrity Specials, so I added the information in the source onto the page. Then i noticed that the page was semi-protected and that I would have to wait, so I did. I thought I would be fine, as all the information was there in the source, but mysteriously it was reverted. I tried again the next day and the same thing happened. I spoke to The Q Editor and explained what had happened and as you can see on my talk page he apologised and reverted the edit and fixed it up, but he did not add the airdate mentioned in the source, so I just added it in.

Did you not read the source? Did you not see that it clearly said "Transmission 1 June 2014" on it? I was just adding that date in both spots needed under "Series 19" and Celebrity Specials". You do know that it is a UK game show? I have used the network's Press Office for source material for other programmes? Can we fix this situation?184.160.203.195 (talk) 22:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)samusek2[reply]

Thanks for telling me. If it's fine by TheQEditor it's fine by me. Sorry about that- I was just patrolling SPECIAL:PENDINGCHANGES and saw there was a signifigant backlog, so I was trying to go quickly. Thanks! Lixxx235 (talk) 22:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CVUA

I'll be glad to take you. But do mention what are the areas you wish to improve. You are not a newbie so I don't think explaining from the scratch would be useful. The prime issue with anyone would be differentiating good faith and vandalism edits. For instance, this edit was actually a good-faith edit but you reverted calling it vandalism! I'll be glad to help you out. I hope you have twinkle activated, if not please do now. Cheers, ƬheStrike Σagle ^sorties 07:12, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, AGF/vand is the biggest issue for me. I've got twinkle. --Lixxx235 (talk) 13:00, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get why you keep reverting my edits from the 85th Academy Awards. Was it something wrong with it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.66.228 (talk) 20:58, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain the edit, this looks like vandalism to me. Thanks. --Lixxx235 (talk) 21:02, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chitala chitala revert

I've "re-reverted" your edit to Chitala chitala. Please be careful with huggle, thanks. In your revert you removed citations (only one citation and not a single in-text before), re-added incorrect information (due the confusion between two species, see article) and re-added a photo of the wrong species. Even if you had disagreed with any of this, huggle is strictly for WP:VAN (I guess you already know this, but just in case). Regards, 62.107.220.107 (talk) 20:59, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am aware that I am supposed to be careful with Huggle, and also that it's primary purpose is anti-vandalism. However, it does have a good faith revert button. Anyways, about the edit: sorry if I interpreted it wrongly, but it seemed an awful lot like vandalism from the interface from Huggle- blanking large sections, reference name "seriously fish", changing categories. Sorry if I misinterpreted it. Please fully explain the edit here. Cheers! --Lixxx235 (talk) 21:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you check my edits to the page before your revert, you'll see that I did include edit summaries on two of the three edits. One of these, as well as the one where I did not comment, were WP:MINOR, and very few editors provide summaries for those (as a check of Special:RecentChanges easily confirms). The one that indisputably needed an edit summary did have one, clearly explaining why I made the edit. I'm not sure what more you're expecting, as every single sentence in the article has a citation. However, if there is anything specific you're uncertain about, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to explain. Unless I hear more from you on this matter, I'll assume the revert was one of those mistakes that even the best editors make on occasion. Cheers, 62.107.220.107 (talk) 21:23, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. If you want an edit to be marked as minor, register an account and become autoconfirmed to check the box, or in the edit summary, cp+paste something like "This is a minor edit". I will not comment on merits of the edits, as I am supposedly in a meeting right now and have to pretend to be interested. I am wondering: how do you know all this WP policy? You seem well versed and seem like a former registered wikipedian. Thanks! --Lixxx235 (talk) 21:30, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited as an IP for a long time. As my IP changes every week or so (I have no control of it), it might not be obvious. I'm not entirely sure, but think it's a dynamic IP. If my memory serves me right, the one I had before the current was 62.107.215.207. I suspect the WP:FISH regulars know me by now, as only the last few numbers of the IP change and I mainly edit articles related to that matter. I've been asked several times to become a member, but never got around doing it and admittedly haven't found a major reason for doing it either: It seems the main rights you get from that hassle are things I have no interest in. I edit article pages; I have no photos to upload and have little interest in the discussions that happen elsewhere on wiki (sometimes over remarkably trivial matters). 62.107.220.107 (talk) 22:13, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'm asking you for the several+oneth time to create an account. Not only does it give you the ability to mark edits minor and the privilege to not get accused of socking, it saves other WP:edians a lot of hassle, as they can look at your edit history and determine you probably know more Wikipedia policy than they do. Lixxx235 (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption!

Hi Lixxx235, I do would like to get adopted ;). I've been doing copy edits mostly until now but I would also like to add anti-vandalism to that list! (my basic wiki skills come from the uncyclopedia wiki but that was mostly creating random pages with jokes). How does the anti-vandalism work? How does this adoption thing work? Thanks for explaining :) Tomato 33 (talk) 05:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tomato 33: Good luck, but I would like to suggest you that these anti-vandal tools(stiki, etc) only recovers the things that have been removed from the article with either low summary(like Hi, Hhhhh) or blanked. They provide you an idea about the removal of content, but probably most of it requires special attention. OccultZone (Talk) 06:42, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@OccultZone:@Tomato 33: Why do I already have a talk page stalker? ;) I will be glad to answer any questions you might have and give my own tutorial, but I have to go and will be back in about 3 hours. Lixxx235 (talk) 12:29, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adopted.

I would love to be adopted! How do we get started? ❀Larksky 12358❀ 01:47, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh goodness, I didn't think all three people I offered to adopt would actually take me up on my offer. It would be an honor to adopt you, Larksky12358. The biggest question for you would be: do you want a highly structured, organized, standardized "school style" adoption, like so, or do you want a more open ended relaxed style? Let me know what you think. Also, if you have not already, read WP:EYNTK and enable WP:TWINKLE on your account. Cheers! --Lixxx235 (talk) 02:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I read WP:EYNTK, enabled WP:TWINKLE, and I kinda like the structured style more. Thanks again! ❀Larksky 12358❀ 17:43, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 14.97.187.236

What ever i edited was based on facts & popular perception in india. If you want copy of media reports( of well known media houses) on which my views were based i will be more than happy to furnish them.

@14.97.187.236: I have removed that whole section, because it cites no source and it is concerned with the organization. OccultZone (Talk) 03:44, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @OccultZone:. I was going to, but wasn't sure whether that would break 3RR. Still making sure I don't go psyco on someone here? ;) Lixxx235 (talk) 03:46, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the ownership. OccultZone (Talk) 03:48, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. OccultZone, was that a wiki inside joke, or a sincere policy reminder/breach notice? Thanks, Lixxx235 (talk) 03:50, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious joke :-) it applies only when a user is adding/removing active arguments(on talks) or content(on main pages) for no valid reason. OccultZone (Talk) 03:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
