Welcome!

Hello, Jackasskidzify, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as ER 406, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please stop altering the conservation status of animal articles away from those given in the latest version of the IUCN Red List. This wastes other people's time. --Stfg (talk) 21:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Pygmy sperm whale. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Elekhh (talk) 21:32, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, you may be blocked from editing. --Stfg (talk) 09:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beware original research

[edit]

Hello Jackasskidzify. Thank you for stopping changing the conservation status in animal articles as I requested. It's good that you're now working on adding content to articles.

Unfortunately, there is still a problem. Wikipedia has a policy of no original research, which means that everything we say needs to be documented in a reliable published source. This is our way of making sure that we don't say things that sound plausible but are actually wrong. Any claim you make in an article can be challenged, and if you can't show where you got it from, it can be deleted. Some cases:

  1. Long-tailed Hopping Mouse: User:Mgiganteus1 was right to revert your first edits here for the reason he gave at the time, but what you wrote about the owl pellet made me suspect you might be on to something, so I researched it, found some sources and wrote them up. In doing that I was giving you some belief, and it was very disappointing to see it wasted and the same wrong information put back in. Please will you consider restoring it, or giving your agreement to my doing so?
  2. Darling Downs Hopping Mouse: You are right that the Paradise Parrot is extinct and the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat is Critically Endangered (note spelling), but what is your source for the statement that many animals from that area have either gone extinct or become CE? (Over the history of the earth, almost everywhere will have had lots of extinctions, but what singles Queensland out for special mention about this?)
  3. Barbary lion: You inserted "It is beleived that the Barbary Lion may have inspired The Sphinx at Giza". I've researched this and find no evidence. Where did you get it from? (The theory that comes most often is that its head depicts that of a pharaoh).

If you want any assistance with any of this, please let me know. But please could you take care to avoid "original research". Thanks. --Stfg (talk) 12:32, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Sea reptile

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Sea reptile. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Reptile#Evolutionary history. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Reptile#Evolutionary history - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Inks.LWC (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on J. Edward Hopkins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Last specimens of long-tailed hopping mouse

[edit]

Hello J. Some sources say 1901 and some say 1901-02, so I've rewritten the sentence to acknowlege both views. We aren't really able to determine which is accurate. Can you accept that way of describing it?

The IUCN reference (ref 2 in the article) does say "very few".

"The long-tailed hopping mouse was mainly gray in colour with small pink ears and big eyes with long hairy pink tail about two inches longer than its own body." Where did you get so much detail? The article really needs a citation for it.

Pstanton (talk) 07:36, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the speedy deletion tag and pointed out to Pstanton that it won't be a hoax when Google Scholar gives over 200 hits for Robert von Beringe. But, if you do want to create articles, you really must learn how to give citations for them and how to do wikilinks, and take care over grammar and spelling. Otherwise you're just making work for other people. Let me know if you want help with citations. --Stfg (talk) 08:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Sane Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

Hello, Jackasskidzify, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holy Trinity Catholic Church (Los Angeles, California) whether the article Holy Trinity Catholic Church (Los Angeles, California) should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Holy Trinity Catholic Church (Los Angeles, California), which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! Night of the Big Wind talk 15:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Smith train sized.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! You may not be aware that your recently created article on D. s. sumatrensis is, in effect, a recreation of an an article of this sub-species, which was previously merged back into the main article on the Sumatran Rhinoceros. Since there doesn't appear to have been a consensus to recreate stand-alone articles for these sub-species, I propose merging D. s. sumatrensis into the main article. If you disagree with this, may I suggest that you discuss this with other editors on the main article talk page. If it is decioded to retain the stand alone article, it will need to be provided with reliable sources to support the text.--CharlieDelta (talk) 19:30, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion for D. s. sumatrensis

[edit]
