Userpage tabs

Excuse me, but could you explain to me how to make tabs for my USer page? I'd appreciate your help! Thanks!(: GraceSmileyface (talk) 02:20, 11 September 2013 (UTC) Note:moved from a page in my userspace (soon to be deleted) which GraceSmileyface created

GraceSmileyface: do you want me to tell you, or design them for you? Matty.007 16:45, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Um...Just telling me would be fine! Thanks(:GraceSmileyface (talk) 21:14, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
OK, first, copy the source at this page. Then, fill in the relevant sections, noting that the first section is the image links, so that when they are clicked they will go to the page. Please create your own page for this, as opposed to doing it on my navigation page. Any questions, just ask. Thanks, Matty.007 16:20, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
GraceSmileyface: is that OK, or do you want me to make them for you/tell you again? Thanks, Matty.007 11:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination

I don't mean to get into a fuss here, and I apologize if I come off as brusque (I know I'd hate it if someone else did it to me), but the article you've nominated is by no means GA material at this time. There are too many issues for it to simply be fixed during the review process, so I would encourage you to remove the nomination and don't put it back up for review until it's ready. LazyBastardGuy 19:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I have addressed most of the issues, but there are few reliable sources available. Matty.007 19:33, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Then perhaps we should wait until more are found, or until the article can be made longer with the ones we do have. A few issues I pointed-out are still in need of adjustment, such as the rather listy form of prose and two of the sources being of questionable reliability. LazyBastardGuy 19:37, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Can we try and keep this discussion at the nomination page please? Thanks, Matty.007 19:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
See you there. LazyBastardGuy 19:39, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Don't want to get too confused. Matty.007 19:40, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Clarence Chesterfield Howerton you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

No worries, bro

Take as much time as you need. If that article can possibly be saved, let alone made GA, I'm all for hearing what you have to say. LazyBastardGuy 07:06, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matty.007! Thanks for all your hard work in patrolling and reporting problematic usernames. I just wanted to give you the heads up that most of the admins at WP:UAA (including myself) tend to wait until an editor had edited before blocking the account (except in certain rare situations). This is especially the case with possible company names. The edits help us determine what the correct remedy is, and until the account edits there are no problems, etc. Singularity42 (talk) 19:41, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't sure whether that was the case, and the couple of admins I asked said to report them and see what they said. I thought that it was best to get them 'on the radar'. Am I allowed to create a user subpage with a list of promo users who haven't edited, and then report them when they do? Thanks, Matty.007 19:44, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Of course. Nothing wrong with that. In any event, once they do edit, the edits will usually trigger an editor who sees those edits to report the username to UAA. Singularity42 (talk) 19:55, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

The article Clarence Chesterfield Howerton you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Clarence Chesterfield Howerton for things which need to be addressed.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

unique chattel

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Specific_performance (legal term) and UCC, routienly discuss the above subject.

However in tort law there is virtually no discussion, references or other ways to compare what is well founded Equitable Court resolution of contracts concerning unique chattel. (I have been researching?) this term for almost 3 years. It's unfortunate that "chattel" is associated with slavery. This may be the inhibition for discussing it in terms of Tort's remedy of injunction, or more clearly mandatory injunction. I hope you can elevate this subject to a status next to Specific_performance, or as part of tort so that Legal scholars can begin to elucidate this neglected remedy by Equity Courts. The neglected minority, unlucky enough to have unique chattel (unique personal property) damaged by accident or by intention, have no remedy. In other words Tort law is Dead for tort damaged unique chattel!

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Beswick_v_Beswick seems to approach the tort remedy.

Thanks for the scan and consideration

Erema

Hi Matty, I guess you are watching the Erema DYK nomination - but just to make sure, Nikkimaria has left a comment on what needs to be done about the Plot section. I've learnt something new from this, so all good! I'll finish the review once it's been corrected. SagaciousPhil - Chat 07:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matty, thanks for your work on Erema - I've now given it an AGF tick for the ALT1 hook. On a different matter, I also had a quick glance at 1951 Atlantic C-124 this morning, (yeah, I know I'm plain nosey!). Good to see DoctorKubla has picked up the review and you have amended the ref that was going to a different page. When I was looking at it, I happened upon this site - perhaps it might help a little? SagaciousPhil - Chat 19:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't think that that's nosy, just plain helpful. Most sources I could see were relating to this, but I forgot to look for it, so thanks for finding it. Thanks also for the review on Erema, I saw the AGF tick a few minutes ago. I will likely start to add some more information into the article now, thanks for the link. Matty.007 19:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome! I enjoy looking for different things and generally find it an enticing challenge. SagaciousPhil - Chat 19:45, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
May not have time to add the info until Wednesday, but add it I will! I got sidetracked tonight, and may not be on-wiki much tomorrow, but Wednesday will be the aviation crash day. Thanks, Matty.007 19:59, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
You will be pleased to hear that I have (eventually) got around to starting to put the information in. Thanks, Matty.007 18:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC) (new signature...)

DYK

Hi, would you mind if I nominated William Bunting (eco-warrior) for DYK? Thanks, Matty.007 17:52, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for kindly offering to nominate the above article for DYK, but it's already been nominated here. But keep up the good work - there are lots of good ones out there. --Storye book (talk) 18:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me, I wasn't sure if you had nominated it (thanks for moving my Q here as well). Thanks, Matty.007 18:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. If you're searching for good new articles for DYK noms, it might be worth checking their talk pages as well - because the nomination process includes a DYK-nom-monitoring template which can be put on the article talk page, e.g. here. You're doing a great job anyway. --Storye book (talk) 07:35, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

FLC

I'm planning to review your FLC. Do you mind if I jump into the table portion and help out a bit (constructive work only).-Godot13 (talk) 19:41, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

No, go ahead by all means (that is the fun of a collaborative project). Thanks for any time you spend helping with the list. Matty.007 19:44, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. If you're still looking for a DYK nom to help with - I've just nominated the above, and progress of the nom can be seen on the above link. However I've nominated it at the last minute (4th or 5th day) and I'm going to be very busy in the next couple of days. So if you see any faults in it and would like to edit for DYK you are very welcome. However I appreciate that you may also be very busy? All the best. --Storye book (talk) 11:33, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, but that has been passed, so not much for me to do there. Matty.007 16:01, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
OK, fair enough, and thanks for kindly looking. But am I missing something? I've checked the nom page and section for 12 Oct, and I can't see any note to say it's been passed?? Anyway I've got ten mins today so I'll look and see if I can make any small headway with it. Wish I had more time! --Storye book (talk) 20:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake, I was looking at the example link. I will have a look at the nom tomorrow. Thanks, Matty.007 21:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you! I did a little bit more work on it last night, but of course it does need a review by someone else, so I'd appreciate any input. Thanks again. --Storye book (talk) 06:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

hello

thank you for the message. Well i am all circled around here. i really will be happy if there is an easy way to chat and communicate. i need a good amount of help in writing things up and i need support to understand the way things work here. basically i was trying to write some really good quotes and put up some real good informations but most of the informations are based on myths and legends and if you want me to give a real proof that will be tough so i was trying to make a page about myself so that people can know who is the writer......see many people do a lot of things in life and i have a life of my own plus a life where i have done not a very log of things but still considerable amount of things. I was not going to write my love story or tips to find girls.

generally if a page about myself and about my biography is not allowed then why are there hundreds & thousands of pages about people ? Well see if i get a medal in olympics then a page can come up on me but if i am trying to something else i am breaking rule ?


please do help me out in this case and if possible can you really give me a look about wikipedia in your own words and not via pasting links ? it would really be helpful if you can give me few informations regarding how things work here in wikipedia and what to write and what not to write.

Thank you for your help.

(talk page stalker) We have notability guidelines that articles must satisfy. For biographies that would be WP:BIO. As we said on IRC, articles require significant coverage in reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines. Repeatedly re-creating an article on yourself without any indication of notability is not a good idea. Huon (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Another (talk page stalker): an important policy you should understand is Wikipedia:Verifiability which can be summed up in one sentence: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". So information based only on your personal knowledge is not suitable, and readers do not need to know about you, because they should be able to check anything you add, if they want to, by referring to the references you give. JohnCD (talk) 22:18, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
To build on what Huon and JohnCD said, Wikipedia is not a social media site, where everyone who wants has an article, you have to be notable, defined as having "significant coverage" in "independent sources". I would give you a few links, but Huon and JohnCD have already done this (and their links are probably better than the ones I would have given). Hope this is clear enough, thanks, Matty.007 11:07, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
