How you can help

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Moscow Smolenskaya railway station a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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. —Odysseus1479 03:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Freauhieusdjirgbfde

[edit]

Hello Wetitpig0,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Freauhieusdjirgbfde for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

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. Xx236 (talk) 08:39, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Universal Character Set characters, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. -- GB fan 12:39, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have already provided reasons for editing, and that is because the article is redundant. Please take back the Disruptive editing post. Reference: Wikipedia: Be bold Thanks! Wetitpig0 (talk) 13:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of XML and HTML character entity references into Universal Character Set characters. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 01:21, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to List of Unicode characters. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information iconExcuse me, you haven't provided me with the reason why this notice is deleted. I really wanted the article to be deleted and found quite a lot of reasons.Wetitpig0 (talk) 01:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read the speedy deletion policy. The only time you can use speedy deletion is if it meets one of the criterion listed there. If an article does not meet one of the criterion listed on the policy you can not use speedy deletion. You have two options if it doesn't meet a speedy deletion criterion, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. -- GB fan 01:40, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@GB fan: it appears that Wetitpig0 attempted to use AfD for List of Unicode characters—see the log at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Unicode characters (4th nomination)—but apparently because of a misspelling Omni Flames removed the tamplate. @Wetitpig0: please slow down; a scattergun approach is going to ruffle feathers. There’s a lot of policy to absorb, and specific procedures & templates, concerning the deletion processes; please take the time to read up on them, or to ask for help, before diving in.—Odysseus1479 02:10, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't turn articles into redirects

[edit]

Please don't turn articles into redirects! If you think the contents should be moved to a different place or merged with other contents, please discuss this first on the article's talk page. Your edit [1], where you attempted to turn the article C0 and C1 control codes into a redirect, has caused large-scale disruption in related articles/redirects, as bots were trying to fix the double redirects created by you with this edit. Effectively, this edit caused more than 200 edits by other editors to fix and clean up after you, time and energy that could have been better spent on content improvements. Thanks. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 01:16, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.Wetitpig0 (talk) 02:10, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for trying to help out by making these templates. However, AfD is a discussion, not a vote, with an infinite amount of outcomes. As such, any appearance of constraining it to a certain set of outcomes could potentially harm the process. Also, the templates aren't necessary: it's easier to type for example '''Delete''' than {{template:AfdD}}, nor would the colored icons help in my opinion. Finally, using transcluded templates is risky and costly - see Wikipedia:Transclusion costs and benefits. It's better to just keep it simple and go with what's been working.
