Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Luke de paul. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Ikhtiar H (talk) 12:29, 6 March 2016 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

"Radiotelevision" navigational boxes

I have nominated these for deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 March 7. --NSH002 (talk) 00:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your messages. I know it can be disheartening to have your work deleted, or nominated for deletion at an early stage in your wiki-career, so apologies for that. In answer to your question, the reasons are stated at the TfD link above. You might also like to read WP:NAV and WP:NAVBOX. Best wishes, NSH002 (talk) 15:01, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Username

You can't change your username by simply moving your (talk) page. See Wikipedia:Changing username. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:11, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What a mess

By moving your talk page here, you may have made the process of changing your user name more difficult. See WP:RENAME. I am not an expert on changing user names, but it can be a difficult and lengthy process. The advice there which seems most applicable in your case (as a "new" user) is simply to set up a new account from scratch and just discard the old one.

So I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Log out, then try to create a new account under the name Roger Delacroix. (You should have done this BEFORE moving your user pages).

2. If this works, then everything is fine.

3 (a). If it doesn't work because someone else already has an account under that name, obviously try another name (perhaps "Roger Delacroix 2").

3 (b). If it doesn't work because the Wiki software doesn't like the fact that a talk page (and sub-pages) already exist under that name, then we have problems.

4. If 3(b) applies, then (and this might not work, or the Wiki software may give you some better advice):

(i) temporarily move this page and subpages back over the old ones. This will only work if no-one has made any changes to them, otherwise you will need to request admin assistance.

(ii) request speedy deletion of this page/subpages (which should just be redirects) using {{db-author}}.

(iii) Wait for the pages to be deleted, then repeat step 1. above. If that doesn't work, then you're fucked, and we need to think again.

I've written a (favourable!!!) reply to your earlier question, but won't post it until you've sorted out this mess. NSH002 (talk) 19:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image use on userpages

Hi Luke de paul (or Roger Delacroix). I just wanted to let you know that I removed File:All 4 logo.png from User:Roger Delacroix/sandbox per WP:UP#Non-free images. Unlike the freely licensed logos you've added to your sandbox (for example, File:BBC.svg and File:STV logo 2014.png, etc.), the "All 4 logo" is a non-free image which means its usage of it must comply with WP:NFCC. There are 10 non-free content criteria that each usage of non-free content must satisfy for it to be properly used on Wikipedia and one of these is WP:NFCC#9 which says that such content may only be used in the article namespace. This means non-free images are not allowed to be used on userpages, which includes userboxes or templates (see WP:UBX#Caution about image use). For reference, we as individual editors do not own our user pages just like we do not own the articles we create or edit. Any user may edit another editor's user page if they feel that doing so is justified according to Wikipedia's policy and guidelines and the inappropriate use of non-free content is typically considered one of those cases where doing so is considered acceptable. If you would like some other opinions on this, feel free to ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or even at a place like Wikipedia:Teahouse. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:27, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Forget about everything else

... except fixing your new account, following the steps I outlined above. It is almost impossible for other editors to deal with you and your work until you have done this. This is you top AND ONLY priority for now. Help is always available, just ping me using{{u|NSH002}} from any talk page.

Regards,

--NSH002 (talk) 10:45, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The longer you leave it, the harder the task will be. --NSH002 (talk) 10:48, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, The Beatles Anthology (albums)

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 noticed that you recently created a new page, The Beatles Anthology (albums). 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 – Anthology 1, Anthology 2, and Anthology 3. 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 Anthology 1 – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 21:10, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Anthology 1 , Anthology 2, and Anthology 3 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into The Beatles Anthology (albums). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:11, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of A Tree Full of Secrets

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.

A tag has been placed on A Tree Full of Secrets, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Decolonisation of Europe & Asia

The article Decolonisation of Europe & Asia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicates the scope and content of Decolonisation of Asia

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The short of it is simply: Don't threaten people like you did here. That is a good way to get blocked.

October 2016

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recreating material that was deleted at WP:MFD and trying to hide the fact that you were doing such by using IPs and blanking, that is disruptive. It certainly wasted some of my time. If you continue, you will be blocked for a longer period of time. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:43, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Luke de paul (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was just exercising my editing skills and I always forget to log in, I never thought that people would watch me editing my sandbox Roger Delacroix (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Sorry, but the SPI filed and linked in your block message below contradicts the fact that you only forget to log in. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 22:28, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You were blocked due to the fact you'd been recreating sandboxes with the exact same content despite being told more than once to stop, Adding all of that crap on your talkpage[1][2][3] and then blanking it[4][5][6] does you no favours and if you carry on you'll end up with a longer block, If you want to edit navboxes fine however you don't need to repeatedly store them, Anyway you're only blocked for 2/3 days so I would kindly suggest you go away for a few days and come back with a fresh mind. –Davey2010^Talk 16:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for a period of indefinite for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Luke de paul. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you believe that this block was in error, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:53, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect CIR issues as well, but I will let another admin review the unblock template above, before the sock block, and I invite them to review my actions at SPI as well. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:55, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi Dennis Brown, I have learned all of the rules, here and I promise that I will never do the same mistakes again, but however, I did create 2 pages that i wish to expand, I honestly think that you are blocking me only because I am a beginner and a foreigner, so look Ihave learned the lesson ok never store navboxes, now please look into your heart, i am just a beginner Roger Delacroix (talk) 14:39, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Declined on the basis of abusing multiple accounts and deceptive unblock requests. Talk page access revoked. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I was about to say something similar, and would add that accusing the blocking admin of blocking you only because you are "a beginner and a foreigner" is an unacceptable slur.
