City Employee

I am very new to "contributing" to Wikipedia- so bear with me here! Earlier I was researching music when I received a message from you, scolding me for editing pages at work. I have never edited a wiki page in my life, so I was confused as to what edits you were referring to. I'm guessing that my work computer is linked to the other computers within the city network through an IP address (204.57.9.33). I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I can find the inappropriate post, and how you knew that it was a city IP address. Based on the descriptions of the contribution offenses on the 204.57.9.33 page, I am assuming the user was behaving in a manner that does not coincide with the respectful behavior expected from city employees. Thank you in advance, I hope I'm doing this right! Taylanezzz (talk) 03:51, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Taylanezzz: this was my message to the IP, and it was in response to this edit. I did not make note of editing while at work, nor did I know that the IP was associated with this City of Cincinnati. I'll deal with that part now. Dschslava (talk) 05:09, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Taylanezzz: it appears that the warning the you were referring to is this one, which was made 10 May 2013 03:32 UTC by the user Luca brasi1. Dschslava (talk) 05:14, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I understand that message now. Thank you for clarifying, and I apologize- still trying to get the hang of this. Do you know how I would find a comprehensive list of edits made by the IP? I'd like to see if this is a nuisance, or an issue that must be addressed. Thank you again! Taylanezzz (talk) 05:34, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Taylanezzz: you can find it at Special:Contributions/204.57.9.33. Alternatively, you can go to the IP's talk page (for future reference, the userpage also works for registered accounts) and click on 'User contributions' in the sidebar. Dschslava (talk) 05:41, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Once again, thank you. I appreciate your help!Taylanezzz (talk) 06:28, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy Gregoire

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I declined your speedy on Jeremy Gregoire as it appears he is notable. I find it often helps to do a quick Google search of a person before tagging for A7 as sometimes there is information available that the page creator doesn't include - here, it appears he plays for a professional team in the AHL.

May 2016

Hello Dschslava. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Nic Hard. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

@Adam9007: eh, I'll take a short break from NPP. That might help a bit. After all, there's always recent changes to patrol... Dschslava (talk) 06:35, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
