In Tekken 6, I've recently achieved all the levels except where you have to fight Alisa after fighting Jin Kazama and I need help. I've read questions and answers on Q&A websites, but none of them are any help to me. I'd appreciate any help because I've been trying for many many days now. I know other people have said that to try and finish her henchmen before her, but the controller leads me to her instead. Lastly, I've posted this question on the Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment section, but no one ever replied. SwisterTwister talk 20:35, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

To anyone who finds this, I need help finding the place to ask a question other than the Help desk, I used to remember but I forgot. Thanks for any feedback.

There used to be a New contributors' help page (Ok there still is), but it has changed in function - I mention this one in case it is the one you were thinking of.

You can get specific help at Requests for feedback, although it is understaffed.

You can also ask technical questions at Village pump.

Are any of these the one you were thinking of?--SPhilbrick T 01:46, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, yes. I was looking for the Wikipedia:Reference desk. Thanks, Sphilbrick. :) SwisterTwister (talk) 01:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But you're right, this question belongs at the reference desk, and that is the only place where it belongs since it's entirely unrelated to editing Wikipedia. The question of where to ask is thus done. The underlying question about the game is not the proper subject of a helpme request, and is, in any event, extremely unlikely to be answered even if it was because this type of request only calls a small number of users to your page who monitor such requests so it is statistically unlikely to garner an answer. If you can't get an answer through the reference desk, you may not be able to get help on Wikipedia, but reposting the helpme request because you have not is not going to get you anywhere I don't think. You might try some off-Wikipedia places, such as asking an expert at the gaming section of allexperts. By the way, the nomral posting order on Wikipedia is always to have new post below old--this post would normally be placed at the very bottom of your page, which you will find will make it easier on responders because it is what they are used to.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 09:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking Sandbox

Hi, I did not understand your message. What is blanking the sandbox? I am brand new to Wikipedia. Does it refer to the header at the top of the sandbox in the edit screen? I accidentally deleted the first time, and it instantly reappeared, so I assumed it was somehow protected. But if "blanking" means something else, let me know. Tnx for help.

About your request in the 29 May 2010 AfDs

Hi, SwisterTwister,
First of all, please don't let a dispute with another editor (or any number of other things) put you off continuing with the Wikipedia project. From your contributions my opinion is that, though it's been a bit of a bumpy ride, I would urge you to stay around and keep contributing.
All that said, please read Wikipedia:Right to vanish, which outlines what steps you can take if you really want to have your user and talk pages deleted.
In summary: please stay and contribute; if you really want out then please read Wikipedia:Right to vanish

About quotation marks

Just so you know, Wikipedia's MoS demands that all articles, even ones written in American English, use the British/LP punctuation system. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit?

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you please be more specific? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:06, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes... I looked at the history and I see a recent anon. edit in which a nonnotable cover of the song was listed, with no source provided. Were you that anon. editor? If so, or if not, a cover of a song, with no source to show why that cover was notable, is just cruft, which adds nothing to an understanding of the song or its importance. Ok? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recycling Photos

Hi. It seems you really like recycling, but the photos you are adding to numerous articles are problematic. Galleries of photos devoid of any context serve no encyclopedic purpose, and should be avoided. If there are articles on cities where recycling is an especially notable topic, you should write about that in the text of the article. --Lord Pistachio ^talk 22:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even where the galleries already exist, their appropriateness is questionable. As per the policy on Image Galleries, galleries are not to be used to shoehorn in images that don't fit otherwise or have no encyclopedic value. And since every city in the developed world has recycling bins, sticking photos of them in every article does not serve to advance the reader's understanding of any subject. --Lord Pistachio ^talk 22:11, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You hit the nail on the head when you posted this: "Hmm, I see your point now, to not add something so trivial to an entire country." The point is simply that things that are ubiquitous features of any city, country, etc. shouldn't be mentioned in an article unless they have some kind of special significance to a particular place. Thanks for your understanding! --Lord Pistachio ^talk 22:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cover versions

I notice that you are adding information regarding cover versions to Song articles. However, the information and hence the cover version needs to be notable e.g. for commercial success or mainstream critical aclaim. Simply being listed on a site such as All Music does not establish notability. Note that Hey Jude is a WP:FA and achieved that status without referring to any cover versions (and that this has been discussed on its talk page); also, as a FA, structural changes (such as new sections) should ideally first be discussed on the article's talk page. HTH. Wrapped in Grey (talk) 09:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(In response to your question on my talk) There is nothing that you can do to make a cover version notable; notability of a cover version is established by one or more reliable secondary sources that record the fact that the cover version has e.g. achieved commercial success or critical acclaim. For example, Joe Cocker's cover of With a Little Help From My Friends is a notable cover version having achieved both. Yes, I know that there are many non-notable cover versions currently listed in Wikipedia; I remove them whenever I have time. Note that a song may be notable for having had many cover versions made; if this is so then it will have been documented by a reliable secondary source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrapped in Grey (talk • contribs) 08:49, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will second Wrapped in Grey's concern. Most successful popular songs have been recorded by many others. Most of those other versions are of no special interest, and listing them out generally does not add any value to an article about the song and indeed weakens the article. Only remakes that were hits themselves or otherwise achieved importance need be discussed. In some cases, WP projects have set up separate articles, for example List of cover versions of U2 songs, just to keep this kind of material out of songs articles. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:50, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another opinion on the matter. Wasted Time and Wrapped in Grey are correct here. Just because a fact is verifiable does not mean that it should definitely be included. If every song article listed every single cover that ever existed, the pages would be huge. As such, we try to list only particularly notable covers on pages. This is really based on two policies: WP:INDISCRIMINATE, which says that we need to be selective in what we include, and WP:TRIVIA, which states that random facts shouldn't be introduced into an article. So for example, Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower is worthy of inclusion on the song article because of how popular it was, whereas some small indie band playing the song wouldn't be listed because of how it's relatively unimportant. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 19:15, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(posted on HelloAnnyong's talk page): I understand that, but what was odd was they seemed to have said the same thing about articles that didn't have any cover sections. What's wrong with that? Adding cover sections to article? SwisterTwister (talk) 19:30, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, just because a cover of a song exists doesn't mean that an article should list it. If a song was only covered by non-notable bands or in an otherwise non-notable way, then the article shouldn't have a covers section. It's not the case that a section of non-notable covers is better than having no section at all. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 19:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, discard what I said on your talkpage. I understand fully now. SwisterTwister (talk) 19:36, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Excuse me??!!

The definition of "smooth jazz" has been taken liberally by a number of stations for the duration of the format's existance. WNWV in Cleveland was just as guilty when they were known as "Smooth Jazz 107.3 The Wave," and they were standard bearers of the new age/smooth jazz format for nearly 22 years. In fact, that's really what "smooth jazz" should have been called all along. Just my opinion, but WJZA was clearly the norm and not the exception here. - Nathan Obral (talk) 02:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marked as Patrolled

Just a little request. I've just come across a couple of articles you'd tagged on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says "mark this page as patrolled". Clicking that means it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and so no-one else will come across it on that list. I've marked them as patrolled. If you didn't find the article via the new pages list then just ignore me; you won't have had the option to mark it as patrolled. — Fly by Night (talk) 22:54, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The page William Bagget Busa looks like it may be a valid CSD, but I prefer not to delete a page unless the creator has been notified. I understand that sometimes automated tools fail to do the notification for some reason. Not sure if that was the case, but could you make the notification?

I realize you did notify re Marla Hanam Busa. I recently agreed with someone observing that too many notifications can be discouraging, so perhaps that was your thinking. In fact, I'll assume that was the case, so I'll add a note to the page (my long term hope is that Twinkle could do something like this.) You need do nothing, except maybe look at my notification, and think about how we should handle multiple notifications in the future.--SPhilbrick T 02:44, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David. Thank you for paying attention to the Toure page and being diligent about making sure no vandalism happens there. Please allow me to explain the edit I made: the erasure of a fact that's no longer a fact. (This is Toure writing.) I made an edit to the page—I erased something that is no longer true. I was slated to teach at CUNY this fall. That is no longer going to happen. So in the interest of honesty I erased it. I have learned that I should not edit my own page and have been honoring that but I thought this instance was different or unique in that the fact that that event (my teaching at CUNY) is now not happening is not something that would be announced and is not something most people would know anytime soon so I felt there aren't others who could be trusted to make that edit in a reasonable amount of time. So if I didn't do it now then the unfactual thing would stay up for a long time and possibly create a situation where it looked as though I was lying to make myself look better. Or that I'd have to answer questions that made it seem as though that was happening. Dishonesty about academics is seriously frowned on and I was simply hoping to avoid that misunderstanding. Could you possibly restore the erasure of that fact so that the page can be honest and up to date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.54.246 (talk) 16:29, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tagging

Hi. Thanks for doing New Page Patrol, a very valuable and necessary task. A couple of points about your recent tags:

Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board - if you can answer the question "What is this about?", then WP:CSD#A1 is not the right tag. This was clearly about the Board, but it gave no indication of importance so {{db-corp}}, i.e. WP:CSD#A7 would have been fine, and that's what I deleted it for. It's important to choose the right tag, so that the article author gets the right message.
Joshua Opada - once again, you can tell what it's about, so even though there's no information A1 is not the right tag, A7 is - {{db-person}} in this case. Also, you tagged it only a minute after it was posted: that's really too soon unless it is absolutely clear the article is no good. New users often put in only a word or two and then press "Save page" to see how it looks: it is WP:BITEy and unwelcoming if a speedy notice pops up at once. I agree this one looked like an autobio and was unlikely to be useful, but better give it a few minutes. By the way, there is a useful template {{userfy}} to give people who post an article about themselves, which tells them about their user page while emphasising that this is not a social-networking site. You can see what it looks like at User talk:Jopada314 where I have added it. It is a bit more welcoming than just deleting their autobio page, and you never know - some of the ones who come here thinking this is another Myspace may become useful contributors once they understand what it's really about.

Thank you for your help SwisterTwister, and I do need a lot of helo.I am very bad at this editing stuff but I dont want to quit!

Your question re RFA

Although your edit count is respectable, I think your chances would be much better if you wait a bit. I notice these numbers from Part 3 of this interesting page:

The (average) edit count of new admins has increased year on year. From a midpoint of ~11,000 to ~19,000.
Only one person since 2009 has gained adminship with less than 3,000 edits (He had over 1 million edits across wikis)
Editors who passed with less than 10,000 edits - 2009: 44 (36%), 2010: 20 (26%), 2011: 5 (18% so far)

Things that are certainly looked for are:

at least some constructive article work - DYKs, GAs, FAs are all good, but less important than many people think, I myself have very little, but in fact it was not a problem at my RFA
accurate CSD tagging
accurate contributions to pages like AIV and UAA
contributions to discussions such as AfD displaying a sound understanding of policy - because closing AfDs is one of admins' more contentious jobs
no (or not much) record of losing one's cool in stressful situations

Those may give you ideas for areas to work in to improve your experience.

I am not really a good person to ask about this, as I am not an RFA "regular", and for that reason I have not spent any time looking at your actual record. I suggest you spend some time reading recent RFAs, particularly failed ones, both to see the sort of issues that are raised and also to see if you can identify some regular contributors who would be better people to ask. Look for people who do not always support, and who seem to give sensible reasons. You will also see, and should be warned, that RFA can be extremely stressful - there are complaints about this, but I don't myself think it a bad thing, because an admin can expect stress and abuse and needs a thick skin.

A-Lin

Hi, you tagged that as unreferenced. This was incorrect. What was needed was to help the article creator with the reference in the infobox by putting ref tags around it and adding a references section. Along with this, the refimproveblp tag was appropriate. Incorrectly tagging an article as unreferenced can be rather WP:BITEy, and should be avoided. Thanks, LadyofShalott 23:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had no intention of being bitey but because the "references" cited were written as text and didn't have any indication of <ref>'s, I wouldn't have ever seen them. I did glance through the article, but my mind must've registered those references as part of the article. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 00:08, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome pages

Hi. When you tag for speedy an article from a new user, if there is no Welcome template on their talk page it is helpful to add one, preferably before the speedy notice - it makes it less WP:BITEy, and gives the newbie useful links like WP:YFA which should help them do better next time. {{firstarticle}} is a good one for that situation. It should be subst-ed, and include the name of the article, like {{subst:firstarticle|James swift}}. That particular template has an oddity: unlike most of them, it includes your signature automatically. If the first article was advertising, then {{welcome-spam}} is good.

Well, being an essay is also not grounds for speedy deletion. Being a blatant hoax is, and that is the criterion under Boing!saidZebedee ultimately deleted it. LadyofShalott 11:56, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, despite GFoley's stating that as the reason, it is not a valid speedy deletion criterion, but there are valid ones that apply to both those "articles". For #1, it was a case of pure vandalism; #2 was a clear case of A7. LadyofShalott 22:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

4G page

Hi there -

4G technologies do not need to currently be capable of IMT-Advanced requirements, which all of the information I deleted assumes as true. I actually migrated 90% of the information to the correct page (IMT Advanced) as it was not describing 4G.

The only content I deleted was factually incorrect outdated comments (that were based on speculation about future technologies at a past date).

By keeping all of the additional incorrect information, it's misleading for people who don't know what's going on. Trying to help aggregate info others, as it was quite frustrating for me to try and figure it out all myself. I've recently researched and found it sad that the Wikipedia page was so unhelpful (it's typically my first and only stop for info). Hence my desire to improve it and perhaps clumsiness in doing so.

I'd politely request that it be reverted to the new version again.

Thanks for your help!

Speedy is not about how quickly after article creation you tag it

Three minutes after article creation is a bad time to be tagging an article because you can't figure out what it's about. People accidentally hit the 'save' button rather than 'preview' all the time. If it doesn't make sense, especially if it has been interrupted in the middle of a sentence, then give them a little while to make another edit. There is no requirement that the very first draft of any article make sense to you.

If you want to patrol new pages, then please follow the recommendation to not patrol pages that were created mere minutes ago, but instead to look at least one hour back in the queue. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure enough, the author has added references. It's on the companies website, so if this doesn't get any third party references it might get sent to AfD. I usually add BLPPROD quickly as it is really just a warning to the page author they must add references to avoid deletion.

Attack? It appears to have been an actual event [3] with a few films based on it. [4] with a film starring Brad Pitt in a film loosely based on it [5]. Notability of the person is in question but the event was real.—Theda 21:12, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry Theda, but G10 explicitly covers pages created and composed solely of unsourced negative biographical material. There was no neutral version to revert to, so I deleted the page. It does not matter if the page is based off a real-life event or even true. These pages are deleted per WP:BLPREMOVE (the reason for WP:G10) to prevent libel from entering.

Deletion rationale for Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad Buddhisagar Suriswarji Maharaj Saheb

I just wanted to let you know that I have changed the deletion rationale for Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad Buddhisagar Suriswarji Maharaj Saheb. You tagged it with a BLP Prod. However, although the article does not explicitly say that the subject is no longer living, given that the article states he was born in 1874, it is a reasonable inference. Hence, BLP policy doesn't apply.

Hi, you marked this as "BLP unsourced", although (a) it said quite clearly that he was dead (OK it used "passed away", but pretty clearly!), and (b) it has a link to a news item about him on Ireland's national broadcasting service. PamD 23:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrolling

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. I'm just letting you know that you appear to have passed Brendan Kelly (entrepreneur) as OK for inclusion. I have tagged this page as A7 - an article that does not assert the notability or importance of its subject (person). Please read WP:NPP and WP:NOTABILITY and keep up the good work,! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:01, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

you seem to have also passed Roberto Henderson CADCII. But it's an unsourced BLP, and should have been so marked, and, in my opinion BLProdded, for I can find no references at all, not even in google. In addition, the name ofthe article would in any case need changing according to the MOS to Roberto Henderson

I see a number of other cases also where you have missed significant problems. You might do well to check the articles from your patrol log tin the last few days to see what others have thought of them. For example, Larry Bock (Biography), deleted as a copyvio--an article cited so irregularly and titled by someone who clearly does not know our practices, should arouse considerable suspicion. Mette Bach should at the least have been tagged for its very apparent problems; Ivailo Valeriev Iliev needed more than a BLP prod--the content of the article claims only he had an injury that prevented him for competing & I've tagged tit for speedy deletion. Toronto Dermatological Society. is so promotional and non0notable that it needed marking for deletion by one means or another--I used A7, but G11 would also apply. SGHS Rowing Club should have been marked at least for notability, but I went one step further and nominated it for AfD. Ditto with SnapComms, though I could have used speedy. Stone Sink Maintenance is a classic example of how-to, and has been prodded. And, just how Hartley primary school needs to be merged--unless there is something very exceptional, that's what we do with all primary schools.

I haver not gone into all this detail in order to be critical in a negative sense; rather, you do so much patrolling, and so much of it is good, that I think you would find it helpful to see some of the problems, & I hope you'll take it in the right spirit. In general, my experience is that very few articles contributed by first-time contributors do not need a tag for at least one problem. Thus, I find it helpful to look at the contributions history as well as the article history,as well as the article. Then, if it appears that the contributor may show possibilities of becoming a good editor, it is possible to help them more specifically than just the templates. I see you've been checking up to three articles a minute: if I'm doing more than one a minute, I find I'm going too quickly. DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feed Me's Big Adventure, please undelete

I was not the author of this page, but was trying to view it as a reference after reading the wiki for its author at http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Jon_Gooch . Gooch is incredibly well known in the music community as the prolific drum and bass artist 'spor' as well as the house artist 'Feed Me'. Additionally, 'Feed Me's Big Adventure' is one of the very few LPs released under Mau5trap records, which is run by deadmau5, arguably the most well-known house artist today.

Long story short, anything Gooch himself releases is noteworthy and anything under mau5trap records is noteworthy so can you undo your patrol of that page? Thanks

A tool for you!

Hi SwisterTwister! I've just come across one of your edits (or that you have been patrolling new pages), and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.

I case you're not aware, you might consider using this tool – it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script:

// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left
addOnloadHook(function () {
 addPortletLink(
  "p-tb",     // toolbox portlet
  "http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py/" + wgPageName 
   + "?client=script&citeweb=on&overwrite=&limit=30&lang=" + wgContentLanguage,
  "Reflinks"  // link label
)});

onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, then paste the bare URL (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for PDF documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. So long! --Sp33dyphil © • © 05:19, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note

After some time on wikipedia I realized that it is important not only to revert but also warn (those who have vandalized before) - otherwise they can't get blocked for any reasonable period. Warning is easy - there is a standard subtituted template which can be copy/pasted from some notepad window or even typed in, like {{subst:uw-unsourced1‎}} ~~~~ or {{subst:uw-test2|Article name}} ~~~~ , and the keywords are intuitive: unsourced, test, vand, spam, npov, biog, error, etc. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 06:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I cross with you at WP:RCP (good work, by the way) and see that you do warn, but not always, and just wanted to share my experience. I also skip warning when I "know" that there is little chance this IP will edit in a foreseeable future, but I try to warn any time I see that this IP did vandalize before. We don't know "who sees the warning", and it is often more than one person vandalizing from a school IP. Yet, we can't block that IP if not warned.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

This Year's Blonde (1980 TV movie)‎

I saw this edit and was wondering why you removed the 'unreferenced' tag. IMDb isn't considered a reliable source, but now the article is not 'unreferenced' so I've placed two maintenance templates on the article: 'refimprove' and 'unreliable sources'.

"Quaker Universalist Fellowship" article editing

David,

I'm Mike Shell (Crippled Wolf), newly registered with Wikipedia, and a member of the steering committee of Quaker Universalist Fellowship.

We do not know who created or has been editing the article. However, we would like to make it both more accurate and more informative for readers.

A colleague of mine on the committee has been trying to expand and correct this stub article, and her edits keep being undone. Could you give me some guidance on the process? I have a lot of text and references which we could add, yet I don't want to go around in circles.

Thanks, Crippled Wolf (talk) 15:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Quaker Universalist Fellowship article

Friend,

Thanks for your reply earlier today, informing me about COI issues. I understand and value the principle, though it's a bit troubling to discover that someone else has created an article about our organization which we ourselves are not allowed to correct.

I have left a message on the article's talk page asking for collaborative help.

Thanks again, Crippled Wolf (talk) 22:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Danceyman

Hey, thanks for the welcome, I have a friend on this called Danceyman, and he was banned indefinitely for vandalism, but he didn't do it, the reason I know he didn't do it, is because I did it, I was really drunk at the time, Danceyman is a non-alcoholic, and we hacked his account and vandalised axl rose and Nickelback, looking back on what I've done in the past when drunk made me give up alcohol, but Danceyman is paying the ultimate price, he did make an appeal, but it was turned down by a user Kuru, I've messaged Kuru, but he has ignored me for some reason, but continues to answer other people's queries which is quite frutrating, but I know you'll listen to me because you're a very friendly wikipedian, and I'm really sorry what I did to those pages, but I want to benefit wikipedia in a positive way now, and I'd really appreciate it if you let Danceyman back in, he's a really nice guy.

Speedy deletion declined: User:NC4RSO

Hello SwisterTwister.

Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for the welcome and the info on why the page was flagged. The page I am referencing is the one for Martha Ballard. The older version was better organized and more usable in an educational setting. I have used the old page in the past for some of my classes (in fact that is how I discovered the new version as I reference it at least twice a year). The newer version reads like it is an uploaded middle school book report. The older version had better citations and a greater diversity of information as well as links to other pages.

Re: "It does not matter who puts a speedy deletion on an article???"

I am new to the whole Wikipedia editing process, but something is wrong with this picture!!! (re: "It does not matter who puts a speedy deletion on an article???"). It appears that anyone can vandalize a work - with of without cause? I don't really care about the Henry Adams article, I am more concerned with the basic principle / practice.

Questions:

Can any Wikipedian, at any level, delete an article? &

Is there a process whereby an editor can appeal a decision to delete?

Klara Min -- ok to remove PROD BLP?

Hi SisterTwister, I see you removed the PROD BLP at Klara Min, looks like because a cite was added to "New York Concert Artists & Associates." However, "New York Concert Artists & Associates" is Klara Min's own organization. It isn't an "outside" cite or reference. Does that still meet Wikipedia criteria for removal of the PROD BLP? Thanks for helping educate me... (I'll look for reply here.) Zad68 (talk) 14:31, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that it was her organization. It can be used as a reference, but it would help the article if third-party sources were added as well (see Wikipedia:Third-party sources). Third-party sources will help achieve notability. SwisterTwister talk 22:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thank you for both the welcome and the warning. I did look over the guidelines before making any edits, which is why the only changes I made to the page were to add category tags on things that were specifically mentioned in the article (there was a notation that more categories were needed). As I understood, edits were allowed by people connected to a page, they were just cautioned to be careful. If I did something wrong, please let me know!

New articles are there usualy deleated in less than 30 seconds if there are mistakes like I did. In the german Wikipedia every saying must be proved with reverences and links to the documents, expecially external links when there is no reference inside Wikipedia. So I beg your prardon and for your assistance: Please tell me directly whitch external link is excessive or inappropriate at your guidelines here. Same wish at category: I did set Category:Fibers and Category:Composite materials and do not know what´s going wrong with it.

Good

I love the description given by you in your user page....especially the last lines which say, "We aren't tolerating vandalism. We will warn. Vandals, expect us." You seem to be a Wikipedian who simply hate vandalism.....like me!! My question was that what will happen if are unable to give even one reference like some of these pages have or don't have references.....if they have it's very less. The pages are: Samta, Madanmohan-jiu Temple and Sarat Chandra Kuthi. Please help us by adding reliable resources. Please leave me a Tb template. --Jagadhatri ^২০১২ 04:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In most cases, if an article is unreferenced/unsourced, it can be either proposed to be deleted (see Wikipedia:Proposed deletion) or simply tagged as "unreferenced/unsourced". The articles (Samta, Madanmohan-jiu Temple and Sarat Chandra Kuthi) seem to be sourced except Madanmohan-jiu Temple. Unfortunately, I believe I would be unable to help with those articles as I am unfamiliar with those subjects. Lastly, I would suggest using "show preview" (located next to "save page") when contributing as this will lower exhaustion on the servers and save history space. It will also allow to change your contributions before officially submitting them. SwisterTwister talk 05:03, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes....the articles have been tagged as "unreferenced/unsourced" and I do know that there's a show preview button but as I am very very eager to contribute to Wikipedia I often don't use it and that's the problem my server gets exhausted but when I create a new article I do see a preview. And when it comes to helping by adding reliable resources I can understand that you aren't familiar and you will be unable to help but I just gave it a try. Anyway thanks that you tried to stretched a helping hand towards me. --Jagadhatri ^২০১২ 07:05, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vyacheslav Seletskiy

This is a tough one. I found a list of his transfers, so he seems without a team currently defeating any chance of a team bio being out there. If I type his cyrillic name into google news I get results, but I'm struggling to figure out if any are useful even after a translation. Association football's not my strong suit but it looks like sources might exist, so I'm borderline on whether or not to delete it. There was a prod earlier in the history so I don't think it can be prodded a second time; AfD might be best, since if sources exist I'm sure the footy crowd can find them better than I can, and if they don't then it'll be gone.

Process Question

Hi SwisterTwister. I'm a noob here and you sent me a "welcome" when I joined so I'm hoping you can help me with this question. I edited an article which included a sentance which didn't at all match the cite. My edit was quickly undone with the comment (Undid revision 483857133 by EdWitt This is a GA: restoring content supported by a RS) I assume RS means "reliable source"? But the point was the reliable source didn't state what was written in the article. I asked for an explanation but haven't received one yet. Just curious what I should do, what's the process? Thanks. EdWitt (talk) 03:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is Nissan Leaf. The sentance in question states, "An optional CHAdeMO fast charge receptacle can be added for US$700, but is only available as a factory installed option, only on the SL model, and it is not compatible with the SAE J1772 standard connector now in use in the US."

The cite states, "The likely standard won't be compatible with the "CHAdeMO" quick-charge hardware in your Leaf, or any of the other Asian electric cars that offer it."

Today there is no SAE fast charging standard and it has been delayed many times. The cite says likely standard, thats a long way from an actual standard. EdWitt (talk) 03:16, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. So am I following the correct process? I'm trying to learn here. I could imagine a lot of thrash changing articles back and forth. So if an edit is undone, when it clearly shouldn't have been, what should the original editor do? EdWitt (talk) 03:57, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Loffice page

Hi SwisterTwister,

Thanks for your input considering the Loffice page! I understand what you mean but I encountered some problems in it, maybe you can advice in this? What I tried to do now is make more general references (for example, a general reference to coworking in Budapest which features loffice and other coworking places, and a general reference to the European Coworking Conference instead of to the specific speaker list), you think it is an improvement?

The only big problem now in terms of third party sources is the second reference, the only place I could find a collection of articles relating Loffice was on the Loffice website itself. Do you think it would be better to make specific links here (for example: Elle Dekor Magazine, issue 7/2011) to a few of the publication?

about Felix cartal

Thank you for your opinion and help. I figured now a days people dont wish to search for stuff, so might as well keep the links there to let people discover his music more easily, such as the Soundcloud link. Maybe the youtube/myspace was excessive. Are you an admin here on Wiki? Im trying to figure out why my page might be deleted? Ive even spoken with Felix and he loved what I wrote and how it was set up.

I understand where you're coming from, but this is Felix Cartal, a canadian dj... the links/references are the best I can post. He isnt interviewed by Rolling Stone or any other type of massive publications really. I have NME, Pitchfork, CBC, Itunes, Punknews references that do fit the criteria, only 3 sources are from blog interviews, which is really the best place to get printed information on the artist. Please try to understand that and not putting that tag up all the time.

Wikify

Why did you tag this as needing wikification? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:16, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment, I put the "wikify tag" because I thought the article could an infobox and may be simpler than adding multiple tags. I can change the "wikify" tag if you think it seems more appropriate. SwisterTwister talk 00:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that any relevant infobox exists, and therefore it is impossible to add one. Besides, what would you put in an infobox?

Perhaps in the future you'd choose to use {{Infobox requested}} in such instances. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your question...

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. My recollection of that exchange is that it had to do with the ongoing debate/edit war over the IMDB's Top 200 movies list, and whether it should be mentioned in The Shawshank Redemption article. The long-standing consensus among experienced editors is that it is not relevant, that the voting is by fans, and that IMDB is not a reliable source. But, it keeps getting added again and again. Take a look at the article talk page for the repeated discussions of the issue. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 14:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See this guideline. I believe the "you should never remove another user's talkpage content" applies to registered user talk pages.

As you can see, I will archive warnings using {{Old IP warnings top}} and {{Old IP warnings bottom}}. However, when there are only one or two warnings, I'll simply blank the page and tag the article {{OW}}. Warnings may be removed if the IP user has seen the warning(s).

Blue Shark Optics

You removed PokerPlayer1973's removal of content here, I believe the user was removing unnecessary information from the article. As you can see, the article seems to be advertising and contains unnecessary information such as "history of sunglasses" and "safety". SwisterTwister talk 18:51, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely spotted - on first glance it looked as if the editor was removing a whole bunch of useful content, but it seems that all of it was unrelated to the article. I've deleted the page itself as (very clear) copyright violation of multiple sources. Of the 4 segments i Googled all 4 proved to be a straight copy-and-paste from various other sites.

RfA

You can do great. Ever considered yourself as an candidate? Yash t 101 04:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've thought of it twice. I withdrew the first time, and I thought of it again a month ago. I had asked User:Wifione to nominate me, but he has been away with the flu. SwisterTwister talk 04:15, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. He is really busy. Already 4 editors has asked him for that. You can also count on me if wish to. All the best for your RfA :) Yash t 101 04:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Atsushi Shimono

How, exactly, do you want the image to look? Which page were you editing? It would be helpful to know that. Daniel Case (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I want the image formatted to the infobox. Usually, I'll be able to fix these situations myself, but I can't seem to format it correctly. I've attempted removing the "[[File:]]" and moving the caption to a separate caption section, but it'll show the image as "File:Atsushi Shimono.jpg". SwisterTwister talk 22:26, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to the template documentation at {{Infobox football biography}}, you must use the normal image syntax: Use the full image syntax, including the [[File:]] markup, a size, and alt text. Do not use the "thumb" or "frame" attributes.

I'll see what I can do. Daniel Case (talk) 23:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK ... it looks like what you want (I removed the month and day from the caption because, frankly, those aren't important in the long run). If this is how you're planning to do future such images, hope it helped you learn. Daniel Case (talk) 23:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your help, I'm not a frequent user of football bio templates. I assumed the photo would appear without the "File:" as usual in other cases. SwisterTwister talk 02:16, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many of us believe that transparency is important

This is one of the translators User:Ildiko Santana helping with the project here [13] thus much of their work will not be on English Wikipedia. We however within medical publishing believe in transparency. And there is no requirement on Wikipedia to maintain anonymity. They are not marketing there services but volunteering just like most of the rest of us. Many thanks Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing a welcome and keep your eye out for more translators joining us. TWB has about 1000 volunteers. :-) --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:15, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're Good...

Heyy, I've heard your kind of the master of Wikipedia, and I have some unanswered questions I wonder you can answer. So first off, how do you change the picture in the infobox? I put in a picture of something in an article i'm creating and I have a updated version of the same picture. How can you replace it? please respond on my talk page please! Thank you lots-- Grasch2014 (talk) 00:17, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is the article. I have a updated image... but i don't understand how to put that image in. Like when you commented on my talk page, you said: "If there is an existing image, you can simply replace that image with the new photo". But what I do not understand is how to replace it. like, do you type in the link, or what about if you drove by it today and took a picture of it and you would like to insert it. Sorry if I'm being a bother, I'm just trying to learn the tricks of Wikipedia. ;) Thank you always--- Grasch2014 (talk) 23:20, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About my signatures?

Yeah someone keeps deleting them and I have no idea why.. I thought I was doing it right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alettertoeva (talk • contribs) 10:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

?

You recently reinforced the rejection of my page, a rejection that still doesn't make sense. The page Trauma Plate, isn't a page, but a redirection to the page ceramic plate. A ceramic plate can be a TYPE of trauma plate or a ballistic panel. All of this is explained in the page that I created but continues to be ignored. The redirect that exists is extremely miss-informative and needs to be repaired. Making my submission the page for Trauma Plate, while leaving the ceramic plate page as the link referenced in my page should solve the issues that exist. I don't understand why this is so difficult.

Hey, Swister, thanks for the heads up! I think you accidentally left two copies of the same message on my talk page but no problems on my end! Cheers, DrPhen (talk) 04:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou Swister. . .for your para-mentoring. I appreciate. I'd need you to help an article not to be deleted. The article is Pre-Colonial Socio-Political History of Kokori Inland by a new wikipedian(gallwey). Ogagadavid (talk) 06:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did I correct the errors properly?

Dear SwisterTwister, Thank you for your response. I'm new to wiki and I've been trying to get the formatting correct after I read all the information but I'm still a little confused. Did I fix this page correctly? I added internal and external links and a category. It is showing up as 2 different pages- one spelled like "Mary alexandra stiefvater" with read delation errors and one like "Mary Alexandra Stiefvater" with a dead end sign in yellow- did I edit it properly? I have to say I have a new found respect for wiki editors- this is hard, but I will read wiki a little better know that I understand how the information is laid out and cited. Thanks for any help you can provide. -Thunderroad10 (Thunderroad10 (talk) 21:11, 11 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

"Put Your Hearts Up" (Ariana Grande song)

I have been trying countless hours to try and create a page for Ariana Grande's debut single "Put Your Hearts Up". I have done the best I can on my own. I have it created in my sandbox, but I have no clue how to get it to become a page, I have a little information that I have put in it. I'm not sure if you can view it, but if you can, go to Rlg000raz's sandbox. Thank you, and please help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlg000raz (talk • contribs) 02:26, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Germans

Hi. I found an error in the article (see photo). Copernicus was not a German, he was from Poland. --Top811 my talk —Preceding undated comment added 13:34, 12 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Nicolaus Copernicus was born in the province of Royal Prussia, in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland. He was an ethnic German who was a subject of the Polish crown.[14] --IIIraute (talk) 19:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Erm what?

"The article is informative and unsourced"? [15] Is that really what you meant to say? Prioryman (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How can I improve my page?

What techniques or hyper text language can I use to improve or better structure my page?

Thanks!

(14alecw (talk) 07:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for cordial welcome

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I’m pleased for the basic things you taught me. My first article was deleted on the very first day of its creation because I could not stand by the policies and guidelines strictly. I worked hard in collecting references and other evidences for the article entitled “Dinesh Kumar Mani”. I studied seventeen newspapers’ reports on him out of which nine I’ve quoted as inline citations. I also quoted pages from his book as references but mistakenly used some of the sentences from his website.

Initially I was upset but after reading ur referred articles I got inspired to write the article again without breaking any policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. In this regard, I need ur cooperation and believe that you always motivate beginners like me. Maharathi (talk) 10:12, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear sir

Actually I have recently uploaded an article about the Milang sub-Tribe within the Adi Tribe.I would like to directly link Milang tribe to Wikipedia instead of acessing through Adi tribe.

I would be gratefu if you help as the directions to directly link my page is Confusing..Lexmodi (talk) 05:00, 17 May 2012 (UTC)Lexmodi[reply]

Name change of article "Dalit saints of Hinduism"

Hi there. Thank you very much for viewing my created articles. Could you please help me by renaming the article "Dalit saints of Hinduism" into "Hindu Dalit sants" so that they be in consistency with the other caste-saint-related articles?

Draft:Busby Productions

Thanks for re-reviewing Draft:Busby Productions. I took my steer from Hat Trick Productions, a production company Busby have frequently partnered with. I'm a little unsure about where we fall short compared to their article. Could you help, please? I appreciate "additional amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall" is required. But looking at Hat Trick, would like to know where exactly we'd have to top up. Thanks so much. natz 11:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nadworks (talk • contribs)
