Talk to me!

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome!--Will Mak 050389 20:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bully

Falconleaf, you are obviously very keen, and that is a good thing, but I think I should draw your attention to the three most important policies on editing Wikipedia:

That means that:

You should not post your own conclusions or experiences, you must be able to show reputable sources for anything you say.
You can post ABOUT attitudes and opinions, but you must not post in terms of attitudes and opinions.
You must show the sources for anything you write.

Having said that, I freely admit that the Bully article sets the worst possible example for a new editor. It's almost a tutorial in "what not to do", that's why it has a cleanup tag!

You added a few items to "effects of bullying" I think, sources need to be cited, but why should you do that when nobody else has? I'm pretty sure that whenever someone (probably me), gets round to sourcing that list of effects, they will find 'poverty' and 'Loss of profit, revenue, and sponsorship' in the same places they source other items on that list. "Lack of patriotism" is a little different though, and not only because I have never heard it expressed as an effect of bullying, and doubt if there is any source, also because it implies that patriotism is a good thing and lack of it is a loss, and that is a point of view, not a fact, let alone a proven fact. So it shouldn't be posted on the article. --Zeraeph 23:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking and preview

If you're adding a wikilink to an article (Anorexia nervosa, for example), I would suggest that you try using preview mode -- if it's red, it may be a misspelling. Actually, preview mode is a good thing to use in any situation -- more proofreading of your edits by you is less for everybody else. -- ArglebargleIV 06:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Teddy Geiger

I wasn't aware that Geiger had moved to Atlanta. Do you have a reference for that? Powers 15:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a little alligator told me in my dream he moved to Atlanta. Falconleaf

Well don't add it again until you come up with something better. Thanks. Powers 14:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Carrie Underwood

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Carrie Underwood. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -- ArglebargleIV 16:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patriot games

i noticed your edits to "patriot games" and how you added bold text, then removed it. Just so you know, you can use the Wikipedia:Sandbox for that sort of testing or (if you must) the "Show Preview" button. -- Chris ^Ccool2ax _contrib.

My revert

I wanted to explain why I reverted your changes to Doughnut.

We can't really assume the reasons that any particular shop might provide free doughnuts to anyone. "Respect for authority" is only one possibility.
Doughnut stores are not, as a whole, open 24 hours a day.
Tim Hortons doesn't make us eat doughnuts, it succeeds because we eat lots of doughnuts.

- BalthCat 03:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More nonsense edits

Please refrain from adding vandalism as you did to Miss Universe and Miss Universe 2006. All statements added need to be verified. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Autism rights movement

Hi, Falconleaf. You've made a couple unsupported statements in the autism rights page, and I'd really like to see some proof for them (not sarcastic - I'm curious!) Please cite the commentary that "the movement" is related to acceptance of homosexuality and the assertion that it has a liberal bias. It's news to me, and probably to other people who read this page, so, please, provide sources! Cheyinka 01:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

autism & poverty

Hi Falconleaf. I was wondering if you have a ref for the "60% of autistics are homless" statement, because in the reference attached to that statement it says nothing of the sort. In fact, under 'living arrangements' the only category that could apply to homeless has less than 5% of people in it. Reference it before you put it back please. If it's true and not your opinion this should be easy Sparkleyone 01:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Bristol, Connecticut, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 02:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hines Ward

Why did you redirect Chris Daughtery and Christopher Adam Daughtry to Hines Ward?? -- ArglebargleIV 19:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, cuz I felt like it, besides Hines Ward does resemble them both don't they?? Falconleaf 22:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Cuz I felt like it"? Sigh.... -- ArglebargleIV 22:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's the facts, I mean Hines Ward WAS Chris, before he became Hines Ward. Falconleaf 23:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was his name "Chris Daughtery"? If not, they were bad redirects. If so, then that should be sourced and mentioned in the Hines Ward article. Your saying "It's the facts" don't make it so. -- ArglebargleIV 23:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:fact

Hi! Based on your contributions to the TfD for template:fact, I thought you might be interested in a proposal I have made to change the recommended use of {{fact}} prescribed in WP:Cite. dryguy 22:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Houston Astros

In case you were wondering, your FAC for the Houston Astros never received any comments because you never added it to the FAC page, WP:FAC. However, I would not bother. The article is not ready for featured article candidacy. Add some references and rewrite the article using proper tone, then submit the article to peer review before trying FAC. Be sure to follow their instructions on the page exactly, or you will not get any comments. Thanks. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 09:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

American

I noticed that you recently added a link to American here. American is a disambiguation page as the phrase has many uses including a person from the Americas or the United States. In the future, could you link the term to one of the articles listed on the American disambiguation term, that would be great. As an example, if you're linking to something related to the United States, you would input [[United States|American]]. Thanks! --Bobblehead 07:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Ku Klux Klan. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.
Basically, btw, if the article says that there are several splinters of the KKK, you can't say "it" is based in Detroit. -- ArglebargleIV 01:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

California State Route 1

Please do not add inaccurate information to Wikipedia articles such as your recent edit to California State Route 1.

From a quick look at your talk page, this is a common complaint with your edits. You have already been blocked once for 24 hours. You are risking getting blocked for longer periods of time.

Another problem edit is the one you did to NFL in Los Angeles. [1] Do not remove the {{fact}} tag unless you have provided references to back the statements that have been questioned. ^Blank ^Verse 13:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last Warning

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Friendship, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Moralis 02:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The edits provoking these last few warnings do not appear to be vandalism. They may not be the greatest, but please assume good faith and don't bite the newcomers. --Dgies 05:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

St. Malo

What is the basis for the claim you added to the article that Saint Malo, Louisiana was "legally not part of the United States"? -- Infrogmation 04:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aztec

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Aztec, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You have been blocked for 24 hours for a period of placing silly nonsense in articles ([2], [3]).

Regarding edits to New World and Old World -- your additions concerning "down Under" made no sense in the sentences where you put them, so I reverted them. -- ArglebargleIV 06:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

27 December 2006

As many of your edits continue to have dubious claims, nonsensical wording, and other problems, you've again been temporarily blocked from editing, this time for a week. If you are interested in continuing to edit Wikipedia, please use this time out review the links found near the top of your talk page. You may find the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Verifiability of interest. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 06:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I kind of feel bad for this user. Most of his edits do not look like intentional vandalism, just very poorly verifiable stuff.

Falconleaf, if you need help learning how to make better contributions to Wikipedia, please either leave a message here or on my talk page. --Dgies 01:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Gay tourism.

Saddam Hussein

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Saddam Hussein.

Hi

Hi man. I live in Czech Republic, but I really like America and I wrote some articles about U.S. on Czech Wikipedia (cs.wiki.x.io). Please, would you write me something about living in Houston? Do you like it? Thank you very much. (if you'd like to, write to my mail: novis.m@seznam.cz) -- Novis-M 13:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your answer, but I wanted to know opinion from person living in Houston-wikipedia shows me facts about demografics, economy etc., but I wanted to ask you if you like this city or you recommend some other? What's good in Houston, what's not... Thank you for your time :-) -- Novis-M 20:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guys dont be lazy, check Google yourself. The easiest thing is deleting information. Google is really not this hard to use. Falconleaf added information, he contributed.

Survey Request

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Thank You, Sam4bc (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:10, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
