The article The Phoenix (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The ride isn't notable enough for its own article. It is also unreferenced.

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.

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made a change to an article, SpinSpider, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 01:50, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gretchen Banks

Hello Starship9000,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gretchen Banks for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Cdtew (talk) 23:28, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to SpinSpider, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 04:41, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from SpinSpider. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Speedy deletion

Hi, and merry Christmas! Regarding speedy deletion, this can be done via Wikipedia:Twinkle, or via the Special:NewPagesFeed using WP:CURATE. Make sure you understand how the processes work before jumping in, as inappropriate use of these tools may lead to editing privileges being limited. hope this helps, all best, Mabalu (talk) 03:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

PROD-related categories

Hi, Category:All articles proposed for deletion is automatically included if a PROD template is placed on an article and should not be added by hand, because that screws up things if an article is de-PRODded. Also, I saw that you created Category:Proposed deletion as of 28 December 2012. That is not necessary either, because these cats are created automatically by bots. Happy editing! --Randykitty (talk) 11:58, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

--Starship9000 (talk) 17:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

The article SpinSpider has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable, no independent sources.

Randykitty (talk) 12:11, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Hi, I'm not sure I understand your message. If you want this article to stay on Wikipedia, then the way to do that is not letting the PROD message stay (or remove it, because I'll take it to AfD then), but to add reliable sources to the article that have an in-depth discussion of the subject. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 16:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Deleting talk pages

Hi, usually a talk page is deleted along with a deleted main article page. Sometimes the talk page gets left behind by accident, in which case you can nominate it for speedy deletion as a talk page without an associated article. Hope this helps. Mabalu (talk) 00:20, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Stars

Just to let you know, I removed two of your prods, on 7 Piscium and 48 Persei. As stars visible to the naked eye, both pass WP:NASTRO #1 (and probably #4), and in addition there have been several research papers published specifically about 48 Persei, so it also passes #3. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:44, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Apple Turnover (Kings Dominion) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Starship9000 (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Recent deletions

Hi. I noticed a lot of articles you've recently created qualified for speedy deletion. You might want to review the page I linked (as well as the notability page) because it seems you might not understand what exactly is admissible as a Wikipedia page and what is not - generally only things that exhibit significant coverage in secondary sources (meaning a lot of reliable sources about the topic) can become articles. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know on my talk page. Cheers, Intelligentsium 01:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

your question

Please not ask me questions on my main talk p.; the archive p. for January is where i will move questions and comments I get asked about during january after dealing with them.

You ask me how to delete a afc page. I assume you mean how to delete a page you created, and then decided not to work on further, because the reviewer's comments convinced you that it was not going to be accepted despite further editing, or because you realized that yourself, or because you just made an error in starting it.

the way to do it is to add at the top of the page the line

{{db-author}}

It will then be deleted in a few hours. This is also true for any article you start in mainspace. DGG ( talk ) 22:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

PROD of 55 Pegasi

Hey there, I saw that you PRODded this article. Well, the article meets our set of guidelines at WP:NASTRO, and there's no ambiguity whatsoever. In the future, when PRODing articles related to astronomy, please check our notability guidelines first to see if the meets then. In short, if it is visible to the naked eye, such as 55 Pegasi, it is inherently notable. StringTheory11 (tc) 03:39, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Starship, here's the deal--I'm placing it in this section since I just had a look at that star, with my naked eye. You make one more such proposal for deletion, a proposal so absurd at first glance already, and you'll be blocked: your actions could conceivably be well-intentioned, but they are seriously disruptive. In fact, taking the whole of your talk page and contributions into account, your creation of articles on non-notable subjects and your prodding on obviously notable ones, I have serious doubts whether you are competent to edit this project in the first place.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Jean Martianay, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. And this is another example of what I can only call incompetence. Of course these edits a. were not vandalism and b. improved the article. Drmies (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

STOP

Okay, Starship, you need to take a break in general. I've deleted the page you made about the glitch Pokemon, as it was a copyright violation of Bulbapedia. Bulbapedia's license is incompatible with ours, so we can't take material directly copied from there, and we certainly can't take material copied from anywhere if you don't say where you're copying it from. The PROD tags are a problem as well, as others have told you. Seriously, take a break; I don't want to block you, but I will if that's what it takes. Writ Keeper 05:43, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Starship9000: please read what Writ Keeper wrote. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia on the internet. It's a "reference work", something you could look up for facts, like a dictionary or an atlas.
Think about what might be in your school books in Junior High? Is a glitch Pokemon species going to be there? --Shirt58 (talk) 13:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
I will stop writing about that glitch pokemon. And no that pokemon is not going on wikipedia. --Starship9000 (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Having seen the sheer number of things you've created that have been deleted, issues with your PRODing, and various other issues, I suggest you either take Writ Keeper's advice about a break, or at the very least, read the relevant guidelines before you make any further edits.

  • Starship, I have been reviewing your contributions and see that you have only made around 300 edits to articles. I'm sure you believe you are helping Wikipedia in the best of intentions, but unfortunately you are getting things wrong too often and causing us a lot more work. We don't really want to have to block you again for anything, so when your current block expires, please be sure to read WP:Guidance for younger editors and consider applying for mentorship at WP:Adopt.
Please create any new articles in your sandbox first before moving them to article space. Please also stop patrolling any more pages and listing them for deletion until you have significantly more experience (over 1,000 mainspace edits) and read and thoroughly understood the instructions at WP:NPP and WP:Deletion.
If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Starship, those are not the conditions Kudpung set for an unblock. These conditions are quite clear, and they are a minimum before I would agree to an unblock. In fact, what you're saying is exactly incorrect: if you see a page not written in English, you will not request speedy deletion. That's part of the unblock conditions, not the whole of it. And I continue to doubt that you know how your contributions were disruptive--not just the deletion requests, but some other edits as well. Drmies (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


  • What should I do if I see a page written in a different language but not english? ==Starship9000 (talk) 21:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
    • Well, there's a place on Wikipedia to request translation into English here. If and only if the foreign-language article is identical to an existing article on a foreign language Wikipedia (the German Wikipedia, for example), you can tag it for speedy deletion under A2, but again, that's only if it's in a foreign language and identical to another article on another Wikipedia. Otherwise, follow the instructions at Pages needing translation that I linked earlier to request a translation into English. If the request goes unanswered for two weeks or more, then you can nominate it for deletion, but not before. Writ Keeper 21:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
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).

Request reason:

I will not do disruptive editing. Starship9000 (talk) 21:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

(Mostly) procedural decline; your first unblock is still active (although it's on hold) above, and it's best to stick with only one unblock active at a time. As an aside, you still haven't made a very convincing argument that you understand why your editing is disruptive; in other words, you haven't described what things you're going to now avoid that will keep your editing from becoming disruptive. Writ Keeper 21:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


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.

Is now a good ? Pleonazm9082 (talk) 08:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

It looks perfect then it used to look when I proposed it for deletion for a unsourced BLP but now it looks perfect. ==Starship9000 (talk) 21:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Do you have any ideas for new articles?

If you do, let me know by responding below this message. I've created a number of articles and I'd be happy to help you develop your ideas and find good sources before publishing them on Wikipedia. Andrew327 17:07, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Unblock requests

Hi Starship. You have still not understood the conditions for your unblock. This leads me to think that either English is not your main language, or that you are still in Primary/Elementary school and your reading skills are not yet perfect, but I apologise if I'm wrong on either count - I can only guess.

Just so you know what you must and must not do when your current block expires, here it is again:
  1. You will not patrol or tag any new pages or other pages until you have made at least 1,000 edits to articles.
  2. You will create any new articles in your Sandbox first and ask an established user to review it before it is moved to Mainspace.

Additionally you are strongly advised to go on a mentoring programme at WP:Adopt where you will learn all the ins and outs of editing. Please understand that if you don't follow these conditions, to prevent you from disrupting the Wikipedia any admin can block you again without warning and for a much longer time. I hope you understand, and if not, you are welcome to ask me any questions on my talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) If you are interested in being adopted (which is highly recommended), simply copy and past the following text onto your user page and an experienced editor will stop by and help you: {{Adoptme}}
Andrew327 06:18, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Kudpung, I got what I need to do when I am unblocked and I made 816 edits so is that good enough or I need more edits? Starship9000 (talk) 01:18, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Kudpung was referring to article edits, of which you have only 300+ right now. He's saying that if he unblocks you, you can't patrol new pages etc. until after you have at least 1,000 article edits. I presume he's making this condition so that you will concentrate on article edits and by doing that learn more about what goes into making an article, and what is and isn't acceptable - so you don't continue to make the same kinds of mistakes you've been making up to now. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:26, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


Does that mean I can not propose articles for deletion? And once my block expires, am I allowed to create a article then put it on the sandbox or only create it on the sandbox?--Starship9000 (talk) 13:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, now that your block has expired, please do not propose articles for deletion, and please only create articles in the sandbox. Writ Keeper 14:10, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


Writ Keeper, do I only propose articles for deletion when I make it to 1,000 edits? My block expired today. --Starship9000 (talk) 22:42, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Recap

Starship, although it's been explained to you several times, you seem to be having difficulty understanding. I appreciate that it is probably because you are still only in 7th Grade, so because we want to encourgage very young users to contribute - and get it right - I'll repeat again what we have asked you to do:

  1. Do not patrol and tag any new pages for anything until you have made at least 1,000 edits to Wikipedia articles. This does not include minor spelling or punctuation corrections, etc. It does not include edits to your user pages, dab pages, redirects, or other discussion pages or AfD.
  2. Create any new articles in your sandbox first, then ask an admin to review it before it is moved to article space.

I'm sure you will understand why we have had to impose these conditions - all we're doing is trying to help you, so if you're not sure of anything, drop in at the the Teahouse (see above) where a bunch of experienced editors are always ready to help newcomers and you are also welcome to ask me for advice on my talk page. To know how many edits you have made to different parts of the Wikipedia, click here. Good luck, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Kudpong, does that means that I can't particapate in articles for deletion? --Starship9000 (talk) 02:42, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I think it's best that you stay away from all management areas util you have 1,000 edits constructively improving and expanding articles. That means that you do not place 'orphan' tags on articles - in fact you don't put any tags on any articles at all. This shouldn't be so difficult to understand. It's a condition of you staying unblocked. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Disruptive edits?

Starship, please stop making disruptive edits to pages. You are back to the same old nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julser1 (talkcontribs) 03:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Julser: Can you please provide diffs? I've looked through S9000's recent edits and I'm not sure what you're referring to. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
I've also collapsed your AN/I report as being premature. Please wait for a response from S9000, and please provide specifics about what you consider to be "disruptive". Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:22, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Well, as far as I can see, Julser undid one "vandalism" edit that was actually anything but[1] and another thing that was also not vandalism[2]. Julser, you are too inexperienced to be making these sorts of calls - especially with your limited history being not so rosy. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I will stop disruptive edits. --Starship9000 (talk) 14:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Adoption offer

Starship9000, I see that above some of Wikipedia's most respected administrators as well as some other great users have strongly suggested you seek adoption. I am here to offer to admit you to my adoption school, where you complete a series of lessons and tests before a final exam that will give you a working knowledge of the encyclopedia as a whole as well as its policy. If you would be interested in taking me up on this offer, please reply here, and I will set up a personal classroom for you. Respectfully, Go Phightins! 16:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Your sandbox draft of Flint Covered Bridge

Hi Starship, I see you've submitted this article at AfC. It really is not ready. You hav not said where the bridge is (you list road names with no context at all), and have put it in a Vermont category, but without any text saying it is in Vermont). You also cite no sources at all. More minor issues include that you have not bolded the article name the first time it's used in the text, and you don't have any wikilinks to other articles. I'm pretty sure there is an infobox for brdiges you could also include to help both the reader and to guide you in what else to add to the article. LadyofShalott 17:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Should a editor request the sandbox page about the Flint Covered Bridge in Vermont for deletion or should we improve it more? --Starship9000 (talk) 21:06, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
I think you should improve it more, starting with LadyofShalott's suggestions. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
LadyofShalott, I actually improved the article User:Starship9000/sandbox that has information about the Flint Covered Bridge which does not have a article yet. I added vermont related category's as well as infoboxes on the bridge and NHRP for the bridge. Please do check the sandbox to see if its good or not. If it is, then should I resend it to Articles for Creation. If its not, then I will improve it. (AFC)?--Starship9000 (talk) 01:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Do you have a source for the information? You can check out Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for information on how to add it to the article or ask help from any of us here. Ryan Vesey 01:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
No, I do not have a reference on it. I am getting ready to add one to the article then we need to check if it actually is more improved. If yes, then we should resend it to articles for creation. If no, tehn I will improve it more until it meets the wikipedia notability. --Starship9000 (talk) 01:31, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I made some improvements to the article, and although it would benefit greatly from being expanded, it will be ready for the mainspace as soon as we can get citations for the content. Ryan Vesey 01:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Ryan Vesey. I think you should go resend it to articles for creation that way we should create the article Flint Covered Bridge. I think it should be requested again for AFC. Thanks. --Starship9000 (talk) 01:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I'll recreate it as soon as you can get a source for the information. I'm looking for a free image right now. Question, did you get any information from this site? Your text was very close to the text of the site. We need to be very careful not to write anything on Wikipedia that is too much like the sources, otherwise you can get in trouble for copyright infringement. It's good now, and it's possible that it was a coincidence, but I'm just letting you know. Ryan Vesey 01:40, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I putted a reference for it. And how I got the information about the bridge is that I looked up facts about the Flint Cvoered Bridge on

www.Bridgehunter.com|Flint Covered Bridge.com. I might put a picture of the bridge on the page today. And I will be careful about the part were you told me about the copyright infringement. What do you think I should do after I put the image for the bridge? Thanks.

Hey Starship, I found an image somebody had uploaded and I found a good NRHP source that gave some information on the bridge and the date it was listed and I added that to the article. I moved it to Flint Covered Bridge for you. Ryan Vesey 02:01, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Ryan Vesey. --Starship9000 (talk) 02:16, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
The article as is stands is good. Starship, if you can aim for at least that quality as you create your articles, you'll be in good shape. Remember that providing references for your material is a key component of creating a decent article. :) LadyofShalott 06:27, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I might create a amusement park ride or roller coaster article in the sandbox. I might create the page List of Drievliet attractions and List of Kings Island attractions. --Starship9000 (talk) 14:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Notable rides

As a friendly talk-page stalker of Astros4477, I wanted to offer some assistance in response to your question on his talk page. A very good example of a notable ride is the Windseeker's rival attraction, the SkyScreamer at Six Flags theme parks around the country. Then there's flat rides like the Enterprise, Frisbee, Top Spin and Scrambler. Are you wanting to prepare an article about a particular model of ride, or about a specific installation of one? If it's the former, be bold and have at it. If it's the latter (for example, an article about the Windseeker found at Cedar Point), you would need to provide information from reliable sources indicating why that particular installation is notable enough for its own article. If you have other questions or comments, please feel free to leave them here or on my talk page. Good luck! --McDoobAU93 18:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't think having 6 WindSeeker articles is a good idea. They're all at Cedar Fair and are fine in one nice article.--Dom497 (talk) 21:20, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

January 2013 edits

I know you mean well, but unfortunately, a number of your recent edits, including this one and this one, have added uncited information into the articles. More specifically, it appears to be original analysis on your part, something that Wikipedia also discourages. We cannot make deductions or statements based on our own interpretations of what is already out there. Put another way, instead of one of us saying that Flight Deck is the only suspended coaster at Kings Island, we would need a reliable source making that same statement; then it would be allowed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. --McDoobAU93 20:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Roller Coaster GA's

There is no simple way to describe how to get a roller coaster article to Good Article status so please don't get intimidated by how long this message is.

For the sake of explaining, I am going to use Intimidator (roller coaster) which is one of my GA's. Though this article is complete it's easier to explain how I got to a state rather then how to get there. The first thing you should ask yourself is what the article must have:

  • A history section
  • A ride experience section
  • Depending if the ride has won any awards, an award section
  • A lead

History: This section should obviously have some history about the coaster. The first thing should be what happened before the roller coaster was announced. Where any attractions removed/moved to make room for the coaster? Did the park launch teaser's to build hype for the announcement? If this info is available, then it should be included. However, if there is a coaster that you know the park had teasers but you can't find any sources, LEAVE IT OUT! Next comes the announcement. This only has to be one sentence but if you can find sources that describe how the ride was announced, who announced it, etc then include it. To find when the ride was announced, you can go to the coaster's RCDB page. For Intimidator, its page is here. At the top of the page there are 3 tabs. One of them say press releases which will lead to the press release with a date. In the article, a basic sentence would say something along the lines of, "Intimidator was announced to the public on August 26, 2009. Next comes construction. When did construction begin/end? When was the lift hill completed? When was the layout completed? These are all the things that you should try to find. Typically, this may require you to search quite a bit. If you are working on an older roller coaster it will be likely that you can't find any reliable construction sources which will mean you will have to leave it out. However, you can probably go to the parks website, copy the url, and go to [Way Back Machine] and see if you find anything in the archives (sometimes this will work and sometimes is won't). After construction, the final sentence should be when the attraction opened, "After construction and testing was completed, Intimidator opened on March 27, 2010". If you find a source that mentiones that ride soft-opened (opening for a limited time before officially opening), then you should put, "...Intimidator soft-opened on ____ before officially opening on March 27, 2010". Now, if there is any additional info that doesn't fall under construction, announcement, or opening, in a new paragraph or sub-section, you should put that info. For example, in the Intimidator article there was a first rider auction. I'm not going to explain what to put in that section as it is right in the Intimidator article.

Ride experience: This section should be divided into 3 parts; a description on what riding the coaster is like (pretty much searching a POV of the coaster on youtube and translating the video into words), Trains (How many trains does the coaster have? How many cars does one train have? How many seats does one car have? How many riders can one train hold? Also, if there is any other info you think should be included and can be sourced about the trains such as if the trains are themed as anything you may wish to add it), and Track (How long is the track? How high is the lift? What is the angle of the first drop? What type of braking does the coaster use (only include if you can find at least one reliable source)? What colour is the track/rails/supports?).

Awards: This will take some time to do. The Golden Ticket Awards and Mitch Hawker's Best Roller Coaster Poll are the best places to look. For the GTA, you will have to manually search through the magazine to find if the coaster won anything. Links to the magazine can be found here (ref numbers 18 - 30). In that article, ref #31 leads to results for the Mitch Hawker's awards. If the roller coaster indeed has won awards, it should be included in the article in a form of a table.

Lead: Leads will vary from article to article so just take a look at other articles to get an idea of what to write for that part (The lead is like the intro to the article, it can be found in every article at the very top (first paragraph)).

Pictures: Photos are great to have, but optional. You should first look at Wikipedia Commons for any pictures and Flickr as those are good places to find photos (be careful with flickr as only a few pictures can be used on Wikipedia because of licensing).

This is a basic guideline and in no way guarantees that the article will be promoted

If you have any other questions please leave a message on my talkpage.--Dom497 (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Unblock conditions

Hi Starship. You still only hvae 370 edits to articles and it will take time to make more, so please do not be in a hurry - you still have a lot to learn. From questions you are asking on my talk page and the talk pages of other users, I'm still not sure that you have fully understood the conditions for remaining unblocked. So here they are again: You do not patrol or tag pages for anything at all until you have made at least 1,000 edits to articles. This 1,000 is a minimum and may be more depending on the circumstances. The 1,000 edits will not include edits of yours that have been reverted or that are problematic such as needing references. Please also consider GoPhiting's offer to teach you how to edit Wikipedia because now that someone has offered to mentor you, there is no excuse for you to make any mistakes. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I understand now. I did not propose any articles for deletion. I will go remove twinkle of my gadgets right now. Thanks for telling me.that. I understand Kudpung so thanks for telling me the goals to stay unblocked. I have also been creating articles in my sandbox page as well as creating draft articles that looks like this: User:Starship9000/Flint Covered Bridge. I might create more amusement park and bridge related draft articles. Thanks. --Starship9000 (talk) 23:34, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
