A question

I just got to ask, are you trying to sell coins by listing them, their conditions and price in your sandbox? Or are you starting an article about collectable coins? If you are starting an article, please just don't copy things from websites. This time the text is from this site. - w.carter-Talk 21:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: I didn't copy the coin article from another website. I copied some info from a coin collector book I have, otherwise the rest is mine! I am not trying to sell them either. E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 22:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's good to hear that you are not using this site to sell things, it just looked a bit odd. :) The text is exactly like the one on the website, so more editors than me will make the same mistake. But in most cases it is the same with books, text should not just be copied. I understand that this is a grading system for coins, and it may be hard to write in "your own words", so you should put the fact about the book in a reference and then we will have to wait and see how much of this that the reviewer of the article thinks is ok to copy. Best, w.carter-Talk 22:13, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you W.carter! PS. How do you like to tweak I added to my signature? "Annoy Me!" E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 23:03, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw that. And since that is the way you feel about editors posting on your talk page, I will respect that and not bother you any more. Good Luck and Good Night! w.carter-Talk 00:08, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: You are not bothering me! I like having someone around that know more about Wikipedia than I do! Acj1 (Annoy me) 16:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Last chance

Since my last post above containing "...No harm in warning/watching/waiting....", you have edited your userpage 6 more times, created an article that was nothing more than copy pasted text, handed out a barnstar, and created a page that looks a lot like webhosting for some coins to be sold at ebay.

This is not going to turn into a half dozen productive editors all coddling you. Bottom line: Learn to edit, don't copy paste, stick to the mainspace. I've removed your ability to edit your userpage (not this user talk page) for a while for your own good.

You seem smart. I suggest clicking this a couple of times. Find an article you like and add a sourced fact. Then, do it again and again. Show us that you "really love Wikipedia" and should not be blocked per WP:NOTHERE and WP:CIR.

I've just invested 5 minutes in you. I won't invest more.

OK Anna Frodesiak. I am very sorry. E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 14:24, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: @W.carter:

Ebay, huh? Okay. That is your choice. There are plenty of friendly people here and it is a fun place to be. It just seemed that you were here to play. I do not understand how clicking edit and adding a sentence could be so confusing. You seem smart. Anyway, you are always wecome to return if and when you figure out that building an encyclopedia is a better use of time than buying and selling stuff at ebay. All the best. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:30, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Anna Frodesiak. I guess I was a little wound up. Sorry. It just seems that everyone is so serious! Hope to see you again, E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 19:01, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. You are always welcome here. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:25, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Anna Frodesiak, can you tell me why you "locked" my user page? Acj1 (Annoy me) 16:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Because you were making almost all of your edits to that page. I felt that if that continued, either I or another administrator would decide that you are not here to build the encyclopedia, and block you. Please, show me that you are here to make constructive, mainspace edits and I will be happy to unprotect your userpage. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:09, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: OK, I will try to build an encyclopedia. It is hard though. I am not into many things, and don't know much...Acj1 (Annoy me) 01:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this to User:E-e-bayer lover/Favorites list. After looking at your userpage it looks like you made this as a list of editors that you could turn to for help and further explanations. I don't really see the harm in this and I think that this is actually a pretty good idea for new and/or inexperienced users. It was just in the wrong place, is all.

Okay. Just checking. You've uploaded a few copyvio images before. Did you know we already have this image here? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:10, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no!!!!!!!!! I never noticed it. I saw the article needing the photo, found a FREE TO USE photo and uploaded it. Great. Can you delete it? Or do you have to be an Admin on Wikimedia Commons to delete it? Acj1 (Say Hi To Me!) 02:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, at all. Nice to see you building the encyclopedia. I've tagged the image for deletion and added the better one to the article. Happy editing. Oh, and if you like castles, there are lots of redlinks with images that need creating. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your interests

What are you interested in? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:05, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your future at Wikipedia

This is atrocious. You've made 377 edits with only 10 in the mainspace. And, not a single one of those mainspace edits were constructive. So far, you have simply wasted our reading and keystroke resources. This must stop at once. If you make any edits that are not directly related to improving the mainspace, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The only reason I am not blocking you now is because you've asked for mentoring from someone. So, no more socializing, commenting on how great an article is, guestbooking, userpage nonsense, rollback requests, or anything even like that. If you want to be here, work the mainspace. Add a fact with a source. Anything. But, no more messing about. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry. I am trying to help but I seem to keep getting in a mess! Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 13:40, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: Could I try writing an article on a book that I read??? Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 14:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's the book? Also, did you have an account before this one? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:13, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The book is "Tucket's Travels" by Gary Paulsen. Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 14:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I've asked for guidance on this one because I couldn't find reviews. Lots of the author Gary Paulsen's books have articles. I don't understand how Tucket's Travels fits in. There were supposed to be only 5 in that series. Anyhow, please read Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria and then, if you still think it's notable, please contact User:Citicat and ask if it could be recreated. He is the administrator who closed the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tucket's Travels back in 2007. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So yes, again, I'm curious to know if you had another account before this one? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:39, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: Yes, I did. Also, I edited an article...Hot Wheels and added some information. Is that what you would call "Building An Encyclopedia?" Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 17:52, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Frodesiak, Can you tell me what you want with my old accound??? Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 13:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking

Hey Acj. I noticed in some of your recent edits that you have been putting in wikilinks to other articles, like on Khairpur village, Chakwal District, Neck creaking, Conservation technical assistance, and Saviniano Pérez. While we do want to link articles together, we don't necessarily have to link every article when that topic or word appears in, as this is considered distracting. You generally want to be more selective about what links you choose and try to judge the ones that are most likely to help readers understand the article they are currently reading. For instance, in Conservation technical assistance, linking to the Natural Resources Conservation Service is appropriate since this is one of their central tasks. I've fixed up Conservation technical assistance, but I'll leave the others to you. Thanks, I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 23:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I never realized that I was over-linking! Sorry! Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 02:36, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK. I'm glad you are trying to figure all this stuff out— the effort matters, especially so if they are mistakes, otherwise we don't get better at editing. I think it will be easier once you decide how you want to contribute to Wikipedia. Stay curious and see what kinds of tasks interest you most. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 07:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think I would like adding Wikilinks & Adding Photos.

It is hard to know what to link. I could link your WHOLE post above!... It's OK. I'm glad you are trying to figure all this stuff out — the effort matters , especially so if they are mistakes , otherwise we don't get better at editing. I think it will be easier once you decide how you want to contribute to Wikipedia. Stay curious and see what kind of tasks interest you most.

Thanks, Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 13:22, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right, you could. But just because you can link something, doesn't mean you should. Don't all of those links feel a little distracting to you? It feels like I should be clicking on things instead of reading what is written, and it should be the other way 'round. This is a good guide for knowing what to link in an article. Also, it's good that you know what you want to do. I would let your mentor know, and she will be better able to help you out. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 13:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
