A lengthy welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Anna Cathcart in 2019.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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. Whpq (talk) 15:28, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dalila Bela, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Stranger. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:30, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Mistake

I think perhaps you made a mistake. Can you please explain - as you did not leave an edit summary, as you should - your thinking in making this deletion? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_people_from_Ontario&diff=975558014&oldid=975557892

Sorry, I did make a mistake. I’ll add it again now.—Pamzeis (talk) 11:26, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Dare

You deleted my last revert in 'Space Race'. My friend at school dared me to do it. Could you please revert it back and leave it for 10 more minutes so that he can see it? I doesn't believe that I would be brave enough.

Contact if I can't respond: hockeycatcat@gmail.com

Thank you, B. Holding — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.130.33.238 (talkcontribs) 15:41, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I can’t revert since Wikipedia is not a place for playing around with dares. If your friend would like to view your edit, they can view it here. Please don’t revert it again. Thanks! Pamzeis (talk) 08:53, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I pretty sure you didn't mean to revert to this version [1] Meters (talk) 23:44, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, I didn’t mean to revert it. I was trying to revert the revision with vandalism. Pamzeis (talk) 00:59, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

You are now a rollbacker!

Hi Pamzeis! I've been running into you while patrolling logs and recent changes, and I happened to notice that you don't have the rollback user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling and that you consistently view and revert vandalism and bad-faith disruption. I believe that the rollback user rights would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tools. Instead of having you formally request rollback at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to quickly revert the edits of other users in cases of blatant vandalism.

Please keep these things in mind at all times when using rollback to revert edits:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a "[Rollback]" button next to a page's latest edits - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you (obviously).
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only, and never used to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask.

For more information on the user rights and how to use rollback, see this tutorial page.

I'm sure you'll do fine with rollback - it's a pretty straight-forward user right and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to already. Nonetheless, please don't hesitate to leave me a message on my user talk page if you run into any questions, have any issues or troubles, or if you run into a revision or situation where you're not sure if using rollback is appropriate or not and need my input or advice - I'll be more than happy to help you any time you need it. If you no longer want the rollback user rights, let me know and I'll be happy to remove it for you. Thank you for helping to locate, revert, and remove vandalism from Wikipedia - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:28, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

The one thing I need to note that gave me some reserve from giving you this user right, was the fact that you haven't made a single report to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism to have repeat vandals and disruptive users blocked from editing. However, given your activity, I don't consider this too much of a concern to not give it to you. Just keep in mind that if a user has already been given a final warning, that you should report them there so that an admin can block them. I recommend that you incorporate this habit into your regular patrols. Other than that, in the short amount of time that you've been patrolling recent changes, you've seem to have done well, and for that I thank you! You've made a couple of mistakes, but they're minor, and you admit to those mistakes when asked about them on your user talk page and you fix the issue. That, above all else, makes someone a good patroller. You're doing well, and I think that your future on Wikipedia is very bright. Keep up the great work, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can offer any input, help, assistance, or anything that you need. I'll be happy to lend a hand. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Revert

Hi! I reverted you here because the vandal you were reverting actually fixed vandalism by another vandal (look at "Pedo Man" in the text). I then roll backed them both and asked for page protection, multiple vandals make life difficult with rollbacks. 11Fox11 (talk) 03:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Bitz & Bob logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bitz & Bob logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Re: Neutral Point of View

Hi Pamzeis,

I added an edit to the Notable People section in Forest Lake, MN. Instead of just taking down my edit, you took down the entire mention of the notable person. First of all, my edit was neutral. People from all over the world, particularly in Europe, do refer to Ryan Young as the voice of a generation. It started as tongue in cheek, but quickly grew into a legitimate statement. The music of Ryan Young is cherished by many people and how they refer to the person who writes these songs isn’t an issue of neutrality. It is how Ryan Young is referred to and is %100 accurate. Secondly, instead of just removing my one sentence edit, you removed the entire mention of Ryan Young. That doesn’t seem fair or right. He most definitely is a notable person from Forest Lake, MN and it is sad that you get to decide what is real and what is not based simply on a hunch of not being neutral. You are downplaying, even basically erasing, a man’s lifelong work and accomplishments. So, please reconsider my validated edit, or at the very least, don’t take away the complete mention of Ryan Young from Forest Lake’s notable people.

Thanks

Original message: Hello, I'm Pamzeis. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Forest Lake, Minnesota seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Pamzeis (talk) 03:21, 5 October 2020 (UTC) Garth99 (talk) 18:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Garth99. Firstly, I can't find anything that says that Ryan Young is "the voice of the generation"; as a result, I removed it because saying somebody is "the voice of the generation" without any clarification is promotional and not neutral. If you can find a reliable source that says he is, you may be able to re-add it. Secondly, I was not the one who removed the mention of Ryan Young in Forest Lake, Minnesota, that was Meters. If you would like to leave a message on Meter's talk page, please do so. Thank you. Pamzeis (talk) 00:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter Mosley (US lawyer)

Hi Pamzeis. Would you mind expanding on your closing statement for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter Mosley (US lawyer)? Specifically, how were !votes weighed, which WP:PAGs apply and how? If it's WP:GNG, based on what sources? If it's an WP:SNG, which SNG? Thanks, Lev!vich 17:15, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

I have the same concerns about your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cindy Dock; how did you come to the conclusion that the Keep voters had any basis in policies and guidelines? Because as the nominator I don't see how it could have been closed as anything other then Delete. IffyChat -- 17:30, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:NACD, Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins. Though it's WP:NOTAVOTE, in addition to the two above, these AFDs appear to me to be close calls based on the numbers: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stark, Arizona (3-2), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monroe District (Santa Rosa, California) (2-1), and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Night Call (podcast) (3-2). Lev!vich 18:34, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

I have the same concerns about the Cindy Dock closure (as a delete voter); while the vote count leans towards keep, I don't believe the argument strength does. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:02, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

It might be a good idea not to do any more AFD clerking, in particular of biographies of living persons, until you are more experienced with biographical notability. Either you clumsily resubmitted Draft:Isaac Kragten without intending to do so, in which case you just made a good faith mistake, or you do not understand acting notability, or you do not understand that sometimes it is better to discuss first and resubmit afterwards.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Isaac Kragten has been accepted

Isaac Kragten, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Your thread has been archived

Teahouse logo

Hi Pamzeis! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Award significance, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.


The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Relists and NACS

Please read WP:RELISTBIAS and WP:NAC. You should not be relisting discussions for a third time. Praxidicae (talk) 00:24, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Also to add to what Robert McClenon said, I'd strongly encourage you to stop involving yourself in the administrative areas of WP:AFD until you have significantly more experience. There is no lack of closers/admins willing to relist but there is a dearth of participants, so please start by participating in the discussions. Praxidicae (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Actually after reviewing your talk page with the multiple messages from experienced editors about your pseudo-admin actions, I am going to formally ask you to refrain from NACs or relists given your apparently lack of communication or understanding. Praxidicae (talk) 00:30, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Questions for Pamzeis

Hi Pamzeis! You were very welcoming in regards to my contributions, thank you for that! It would be immensely appreciated if you could answer the questions I had about wikipedia below. Firstly, I have been a member of Wikipedia for more than four days and have made significantly more than ten edits. Do you know why I am not an auto confirmed user yet? Secondly, if you have the authority to look and accept drafts, would it be possible if you could quickly look over the articles I wrote! Thank you so much Pamzeis, --Coreykai (talk) 02:28, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Corey Kai

Hi Coreykai! Firstly, sorry, I don't know why you haven't been autoconfirmed yet. According to your edit count, you are autoconfirmed but you don't seem to be autoconfirmed on your user rights. I might suggest you ask this at the Teahouse or request to be confirmed at WP:PERM. Secondly, no, I can't review your drafts as I am not part of WP:WikiProject Articles for Creation. Thanks!

A question about reverting my edit

Hey, I saw you reverted my merging of Brooklyn Nelson's theatre credits table for Frozen? I don't see why it shouldn't be merged - I have seen many theatre actors whose articles have merged title names in their credits, eg: Ben Platt, Jonathan Groff, Samantha Barks. DaveZombee (talk) 09:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi DaveZombee. I reverted it per WP:FILMOGRAPHY though I'm not sure if it applies to Theatre credits. If all other theatre actors/actresses have their cells merged, then feel free to re-add it. This seems okay per WP:Some stuff exists for a reason. Thanks. Pamzeis (talk) 11:54, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
