Warnings

Hi Chesnaught555, When you give out warnings it's supposed to have "subst:" infront which then adds your name correctly (IE {{subst:Uw-unsourced1|article}} which then shows up as

"Information icon Hello, I'm Davey2010. I noticed that you made a change to an article, article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. "

BTW you should install WP:Twinkle as it makes everything a whole lot easier here :)
Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:03, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Today, you twice edited the article Deaths in 2016, on both occasions specifically removing redlinks. I need to point out that the convention on that page is for every entry to be wikilinked, with no exceptions at all. If it then results in a redlink due to the subject having no article, then so be it. If the subject has a bluelink which leads to a disambig page, then that would also be addressed, by piping the link, as would redirecting the subject to an associated article with its own notabilit,y to create a bluelink. Merely delinking a subject's name is not acceptable. I'm sure you hadn't realised this, so please be assured I am writing in the spirit of good order and friendliness. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 20:57, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Refsworldlee: Yes, my utmost apologies; I did not know that my behaviour was unacceptable. Thank you for clearing that up and being civil. Chesnaught555 (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not "unacceptable" behaviour at all! By using that word, I only meant that the editors who help set the rules for the page would never accept the unlinking of deceased persons. I will always be civil, and I'm glad you can see that. Good luck in your Wikiing. Ref (chew)(do) 23:49, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't resist doing indenting this thread for you—your reply ran straight on from the original post. I know it is dated two weeks ago. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 18:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gareth Griffith-Jones, thanks once again! I am meant to indent now, right? :) Chesnaught (talk) 18:52, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Good isn't it? — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 18:55, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gareth Griffith-Jones, indeed it is! Thank you, I appreciate your help. Chesnaught (talk) 18:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi !

Hi Chesnaught,

Just passing. Awesome to see younger people on Wikipedia and you are apparently from the UK? Wonder what I would have done at 16 years of age with the goldmine in terms of information.

Btw, I saw your post at the TeaHouse. Where does one get information about templates and such? I would like to customize my user page a bit.

Also, I speak fluent French. If you have any questions just ask :)

P.S: How do alerts work and do you know what a ping (shows up as @Username) is?

--JamesPoulson (talk) 23:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesPoulson: Hello James, thank you for the kind message. I am indeed from the UK. If you want to customise your user page, a good way to do that is by using userboxes; the link to the gallery is Wikipedia:Userboxes/Gallery. Alerts work using the ping template, simply write "ping" between brackets {} and after ping put |USERNAME. I have an account on French Wikipedia myself, I am still learning a little bit! Once again, thanks. Chesnaught555 (talk) 14:16, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@JamesPoulson: Addendum: Just seen your user page and it appears you are already familiar with these! Whoops. For discussion templates, go to Wikipedia:Template messages/Talk namespace and for general code go to the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet. Incredibly useful page which shows you basic main space Wikipedia coding, such as citation tags. As you've seen my Teahouse post, I'm certain you're familiar with blank templates. Hope the links help. Chesnaught555 (talk) 19:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Chesnaught555: Thanks for getting back to me. I will check those out. For French, one of the things I had the most difficulty with was the conjugation of verbs. Here is an invaluable link which gives the spelling of verbs according to tense :) . http://leconjugueur.lefigaro.fr/frlistedeverbe.php --JamesPoulson (talk) 12:26, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
JamesPoulson, exactly the same here actually! Thank you. Chesnaught (talk) 16:11, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

your latest post

Good morning Ches!
I hope you will not take offence to what I am about to do:
You may benefit from looking at this article. I write this following your latest Talk page post on our mutual American friend.
You do good work here and long may you continue. Cheers! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 09:44, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Auto-confirmed

In your User page history you write, "think I'm autoconfirmed... maybe"
You are a reviewer and you are autoconfirmed.

Gareth, that's good to hear! I had it in my mind that you had to file a request for autoconfirmation. I did indeed create my account in 2014 but didn't edit as much back then; I became active late last year. Thank you! :) Ches (talk) 18:35, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


My .02 cents

I think this could be an attempt to sabotage the GA review on the article. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this editor appears and starts edit warring at the article -- an editor with only 70-some edits over the course of several years since his account was created. Now an editor is suddenly suggesting I should be blocked and should stay away from the BtK article WHILE I am in the midst of the GA review? Looks fishy to me. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Winkelvi, I agree. Definitely suspicious behaviour. Off to bed now, it is late over here (damn time zones!). I'll be back in the morning. Ches (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined speedy

Hi. I've declined your speedy deletion nomination of User:Schin Rana, as WP:A7 does not apply to user pages. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Boing! said Zebedee, my apologies sir. I hadn't read the title properly and thought that Schin Rana was a normal page on Wikipedia. I will be more careful in the future. Thanks for letting me know. Ches (talk) 10:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it's easy to do. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:00, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Chesnaught555. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • 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:New admin school/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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal talk 17:14, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove obviously valid {{db}} templates as you did for Fierro pariente. That behaviour is disruptive. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 18:52, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FoCuSandLeArN, my apologies. I was going to re-add a better one (it was Italian, not "gibberish") but my laptop ran out of battery. No excuse though. Thanks. --Ches (talk) 19:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't Italian, it was Mexican slang. It constitutes gibberish here. Regards, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FoCuSandLeArN, was it Spanish then? Obviously Mexican is not a language. Still, my apologies for confusing the two - I'm meant to be somewhat good at Spanish... they're both Latin languages so that's where I got confused. Still, my apologies. --Ches (talk) 19:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, I'd like to thank you for not templating me in regards to my editing. I appreciate that. Best, --Ches (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It was Spanish, even though at times it might not look like it! As you probably know, languages can undergo intense local variation. No worries; I do not template established editors, as I find it insulting. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:46, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FoCuSandLeArN, yes, there are differences between the Spanish spoken in Spain and the Spanish spoken in the Americas. I think Canadian French has some differences to the French I am learning, also. Thank you once again. --Ches (talk) 19:48, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion

Hi Ches, if you believe someone is engaging in harassment or trolling, the best thing is to ignore that person and to report it to an admin if it reaches a certain point. By interacting with, or talking about, that person, there is a risk that you actually keep it going, and then it becomes harder for outsiders to see who has caused it. So I would say the best way to help at this point is to disengage.

I know that you're standing by a fellow editor, and it's kind of you to do that when often people don't step in to help. SarahSV (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, SlimVirgin - I am currently unsure whether or not to report it as of yet. My opinion may change if anything else happens. I don't want to poke the proverbial bear so I'm not engaging in any conversation regarding her from now on. I will always be helpful, and I am glad you can see that. Happy editing, --Ches (talk) 18:20, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redacted content

Actually, just for the record, I'm pretty sure this content you removed was directed towards me, not the person you mentioned, as you can verify I filed ANI reports against the editor for various annoying behaviors at around the time that content was added, and was frustrated with the (lack of) outcome, and he certainly seemed to enjoy mocking my frustration. LjL (talk) 18:10, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LjL - either/or. Thanks for mentioning that, though - regardless of who it was it's still a violation of NPA and POLEMIC. --Ches (talk) 19:44, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

significant figures

the edit was due to a misunderstanding and i think the line should be a bit more descriptive. for instance "trailing zeros, those to the right of the last non-zero digit, which are significant, are marked with a decimal point" or something to that effect. sorry, i was reading it wrong and thought they meant 1.00100<--those kinda trailing zeros. its ok tho, its explained again in the next section

GA nom

I nominated it, however, there seems to be a problem with how the code worked out - something I did, probably? It says, "Discuss review" and then goes to the first GA Review page. Also, I won't use my one revert at the article today on the "nee" you changed with italics. From what I have seen numerous times, it should not be italicized. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Winkelvi, my apologies, I'll revert myself. I'm not too sure what's caused the problem, do you mind if I try and see if I can do it? --Ches (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Go for it. I was going to take a break from here for a bit anyway. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:18, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi - indeed, thanks. Enjoy your break, you deserve one after your hard work on that article. --Ches (talk) 21:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi - do you want to go back to the GA2 page for a re-assessment, or go straight in with GA3? --Ches (talk) 21:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Is one preferable over another? I've already had two experienced editors tell me they wouldn't consider undoing the fail, so, it seems a reassessment wouldn't be profitable. GA3 should be fine, right? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:28, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi - absolutely, but there's a problem; unless I'm crazy, I can't see the article on the list of GA nominations. It seems to have disappeared. I would've just corrected the code to display a link for GA3, but I can't see your nomination on the list. The last one on World History is Henry B. Payne. Can you see it? --Ches (talk) 21:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Winkelvi - I see you've re-added it, but the code is the same as it was before. It now links to GA1 again. --Ches (talk) 22:04, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. At this time, let's leave it alone. I've entered a question regarding it at the GA Help Desk and pinged an editor who should be able to help. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:05, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi - I've literally just fixed it. Your signature is there as the nominator of the review. I fixed it prior to reading your response - my apologies. --Ches (talk) 22:08, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't try to fix it any further. It shouldn't be going to a review page at all yet because it hasn't been picked up by anyone to review. It should say "Start review", not "Discuss review". Still, it shouldn't be touched any more - I'm going to revert it back to where it was and the GA3 page you opened needs to be deleted. But - that should be done by someone who is familiar with this kind of issue. I appreciate your willingness to help. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Qwertsar. I'm not Chesnaught555, but I came across your comment and wanted to point out some things to you. First of all, while editing tests are not necessarily considered vandalism, they are not allowed on articles and most other pages (see Wikipedia:Vandalism#Editing tests by experimenting users). However, you are allowed to make test edits in Wikipedia:Sandbox, which exists for the purpose of testing code. Also, you should have been able to see a preview of your edits' effects on the article without having to hit the "Save" button, even when using the mobile site.

Talk:Billy the Kid/GA3

Hi Ches. Please see the message I left at Talk:Billy the Kid#Deleting erroneously created page Talk:Billy the Kid/GA3. I'm guessing you're okay with that idea. If so, please give your agreement at the discussion link provided. Prhartcom (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Phartcom, I've placed a CSD G7 (author requests deletion) template on that page. My apologies, I won't do that again. --Ches (talk) 10:16, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Let me try that again, Prhartcom - read above message. --Ches (talk) 10:18, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Winkelvi - got it! :-) --Ches (talk) 10:18, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

guess what???!!!

Guess what I saw when I was wondering in the woods today? A Virginia opossum!!! It is the very first time I've ever seen one in life!!! I would take a picture of it, however my camera wasn't with me, and my phone wasn't behaving. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwertsar (talk • contribs) 02:00, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Qwertsar, cool! Not much to see around where I am haha. --Ches (talk) 08:47, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You could see pretty cool creatures where you live, too. Maybe not a lot of reptiles or marsupials, since you live in the UK, which is a series of islands, however, if you frequently go to the woods where you live, you could find several creatures you would never find out here in the eastern United States. Like badgers (as long as there not locally extinct). However, if you like reptiles, you should definitely visit out in the eastern part of North America(not nessisarily the west, since there's much fewer). Or even the south! It's so diverse out here in the deciduous forests of the easternUnited States. The reason why is because, unlike Europe, who's mountain ranges go from side to side, preventing diversity from coming south as the climate grew cooler in the early Pleistocene, North America's goes up and down. So if you're looking for diversity, try traveling (in a rural area) around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwertsar (talk • contribs) 20:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Qwertsar - thanks! We get a lot of grey squirrels around here, although I think they originate from America anyway! I saw a grass snake two years ago in a park. Oh, and sign your posts with four tildes! (~~~~) --Ches (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Qwertsar (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)Yea, grey squirrels are very harmful to the native red squirrels. However, european pine martens are actually starting to control the number of grey squirrels, since they spend more time on the ground then red squirrels, or less aboreal. Yea, there are even aboreal rat snakes where I live. I've never seen one yet, but I know they live around here. They can grow up to 10 feet long!!! Oh yea, do you live in England or Scotland?Qwertsar (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Qwertsar is an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jilllyjo

I've tried to get to the bottom of why an editor indef'd for being an abusive sockpuppeter has ANY rights with regards to "banning" people from their talkpage, but so far Bbb has just repeated the fact that they're allowed to do that. It seems odd that such deference would be given to an editor who has acted so poorly. Hallward's Ghost (Kevin) (My talkpage) 17:17, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hallward's Ghost: It is highly concerning that, in spite of Jilly's block, that her awful excuse on a par with WP:BROTHER has been seemingly listened to, although when questions are raised about her "father", she seems to prevaricate and say things along the lines of "I don't want to ask him". Seems highly evasive, and yet she is being acknowledged. I have to question the sanity of any administrator who unblocks her after what happened at BTK. I notice she completely removed my question on her talk page, and therefore did not state why she didn't wish to answer questions about her father, quod erat demonstrandum. Surely, even if she was going to be unblocked, consensus would have to be reached first, and that means receiving the opinions of other editors (in particular those of us involved at the BTK article and its GA review)? It's just ridiculous. --Ches (talk) 17:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
HG, I think Bbb23 is just trying to keep the drama down, to be honest. And, when you stop and think about it, the less attention given with actual communication to Jj, the more the purpose of WP:DENY comes into play. Let him/her rant and lie and invent stories (it's really no different than what either account did when active, anyway) -- nothing they say is going to change the fact of the CU results. The thing that I see happening with all these new tales being told and insistence that they will be back to create and work on articles goes to what happened fairly recently with a LTA sockmaster, ColonelHenry. Look up JackTheVicar and the CH accounts to see what was involved with that. JTV also, when first blocked for socking and claiming he wasn't CH and was going to send pleas to ArbCom, was talking about what work he was going to do when he returned after vindication. I'm certain WS was watching that whole process (because I was involved - WS has a weird obsession with my editing habits and history) and is imitating the same to some degree. That's my take on it, anyway. It's really, really best to just ignore the shenanigans and forget about his/her (never was sure if WS was a male or female). And to do so after you all read this and possibly comment again. The less we talk about them publicly, the less weird, dysfunctional satisfaction people like that get from seeing others concerning themselves with them. Like Bbb23 said, just let it go. Cheers - onward and upward! -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:04, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi and Hallward's Ghost - Floquenbeam has revoked his/her talk page access, so unless they're going to carry on with the whole "he's my father" BS, then there will be no more unblock requests. Thank God it's over. --Ches (talk) 18:39, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
ANd Floq basically told the guy to cut that "he's my father" BS out, so... Hallward's Ghost (Kevin) (My talkpage) 18:44, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hallward's Ghost - basically put, that is hopefully the last we will ever hear of this sockmaster. :-) Roll on the third GA review. I'm certain it will pass this time. --Ches (talk) 18:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That last edit

I'd like to apologize for that last edit - I definitely didn't mean to blank the page; it was a total accident. I was trying to change "December 28" to "December 29" and for some reason the entire page got highlighted, and I hit "save page" accidentally. I regularly make edits to weather related articles and I'm definitely not here to vandalize.

Hope we can put this aside with no issues. --Anonymous Macaw (talk) 18:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous Macaw, no worries. I'll redact the warning - thanks for letting me know. Best, --Ches (talk) 19:00, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
