On templates

More of a "Should I do this" question. Is it wise / unwise to leave warning templates such as {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} or {{subst:uw-unsor1}} on unregistered / IP accounts? Cheers --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:50, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Why would it not? It's a warning saying that an edit has been undone (and/or more edits should not be done). Removing those notices is not a good idea, in case the IP has not yet seen it and wonders why their contribution was deleted. Primefac (talk) 17:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

CSD tags

Regarding your messages at User talk:Wackomate, while the article creator is urged to go post on the article talk page if they believe the article with a CSD tag shouldn't be deleted, any experienced editor who believes that the CSD criteria doesn't apply to the tagged article can remove the tag. It could be that a different criteria applies or the article meets the accepted standards to be kept. But it is not incorrect to remove an inappropriately tagged article. Liz Read! Talk! 03:09, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Understood, thank you. I should have definitely worded that better. I shouldn't have edit-warred it anyways, and just passed it along to the authorities. Cheers. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:13, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

I must admit that /r/foxes keeps me sane on tougher days, so seeing your name here is a pleasant surprise. Feel free to ask me any questions if you need help figuring things out. Hope you enjoy our little community. — Earwig talk 05:45, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Wow, someone recognized me! Thankw! Finally got around to making an account. I guess I do have a question, while you are here. What does it mean when a page is patrolled, and how does a page get marked as patrolled? Thanks again. --allthefoxes (Talk) 05:49, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

@In veritas: I suspect you used five tildes (~~~~~) instead of four; that just leaves the date rather than your full signature. — Earwig talk 06:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
@The Earwig: Thanks, I knew it was the user's fault, not the software's. Sometimes it is easy to add that extra tilde and not notice it. In veritas (talk) 06:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Removed links

I have removed the links from your suer page. No Wikipedia page should be used to attract people to a web site or page, as doing so is contrary to Wikipedia's policy on promotional editing. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, but it is too complicated for me. Can I get someone to do it for me? Brh853 (talk) 01:29, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Sure, if you go to the page you want to change, and click on the "Talk" button, and then the "New Section" button, you can put down all the information that you would like added. Chances are, someone will get around to adding it. --allthefoxes (Talk) 01:31, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Breaking bad episode guide

Hello,

I keep trying to change the page for Breaking Bad season 5, as the wording of a particular episode makes the synopsis unclear and could very easily lead to confusion, and you changed it back for no specific reason other than claiming it "wasn't constructive". Hopefully you are familiar with Breaking Bad so you will understand this - a crucial, crucial plot point, and the turning point of the whole season, is during episode 8 Hank finds a book in Walt's bathroom with a dedication which makes him realize Walter White is Heisenberg. However, crucially, this happens totally by chance when Hank is using the bathroom and just happens to flip through the book - he was not suspicious at all before this nor was he actively searching for any evidence, he just happened to find the book in the bathroom. This is completely unclear in your edit, which doesn't clarify what Hank was doing in the bathroom, and thus that he stumbled upon the book by chance, but instead is vague & general, and can & would be interpreted as implying that Hank was in the bathroom to search for evidence & that he was already suspicious prior to finding the book. I keep trying to correct this so that it's clear to anyone reading that Hank found the book by chance because he was in the bathroom to use the toilet, but you keep changing my edit back so that it's vague, general & open to a totally incorrect interpretation. Since this episode, and that scene in particular, is extremely important to the show - it is the turning point of all of season 5, and that scene is the very reason that season 5 is split into "Part 1" and "Part 2" - THAT is how important this one scene is. You keep undoing my edit and leaving the synopsis of this scene general & vague, and won't even give a reason past "it's not constructive". I hope that in this post I have demonstrated that my edit is not just constructive, but indeed, essential.

Thank you for reading, and I hope that before you change it back again you at least respond to my valid points. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigLittleColin (talk • contribs) 18:08, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

You have a fine point, but the way you are wording it is particularly un-necessary and close to vandalism. I have undone your edits again. Please discuss this on the articles talk page before re-applying it. --allthefoxes (Talk) 18:13, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Autopatrolling

I noticed that you had issues with marking CSD pages as patrolled earlier, so here's help if you need it. There's an option to mark pages you tag with a CSD automatically patrolled at WP:TW/PREFS. If you already did this, disregard this message. The StormCatcher (talk) (contribs) 03:45, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

@CatcherStorm - I was having issues marking pages as patrolled since at the time I was not confirmed / autoconfirmed, which is a requirement. you can see the discussion about this above. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:46, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey there @Thomasnetrpm. Its perfectly okay to substitute in archive links, and I thank you for that! However, please do not flat out delete dead links if you cannot find a archive / replacement. Saw you doing this a few times. --allthefoxes (Talk) 17:56, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey I'm Editing

Hey this is my first time editing, and I'm trying to make it better, but I just thought I was going to draft for the next couple of days. But right now there is more information what do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firerougex (talk • contribs) 02:09, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Thats a good start, however I do believe that leaving the redirect would be a better idea. In the mean time, you should make a draft. You can also consider going through the AFC process. It would make things a lot easier! Welcome to wikipedia! Sorry for biting you a bit there. --allthefoxes (Talk) 02:12, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

When the author blank the page

Hi there, with reference from Adsshoppe.com, when the author blanks the page, it's better to wait for a couple of minutes just in case the author changes his mind. Then mark the page with speedy delete under the criteria of G7 instead of A3 since he blank the page. Thanks and happy editing. :) Ayub407talk 18:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Well allthefoxes, my suggestions were actually correct so yeah. Please ask me before you do anything like this again. Thank you. BensonBoy1234 (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

@BensonBoy1234:Unfortunately, the correctness of the suggestions probably aren't something I thought of when reverting your edits. I would love to see the content back, but please make sure to at least cite whatever you add! In addition, it might be a good idea to read over WP:OWN as well. Anyone can edit wikipedia, and can undo your edits as well. I am not required to ask you. However, I am sorry if I came off as rude.--allthefoxes (Talk) 18:23, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Request to consider modification of recent protecting of Webster University Thailand page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster_University_Thailand

hello

this is just me following onto a request made to DragonflySixtyseven

please look at the links provided, the information is overwhelming and some type of criticism section must exist because their have people who have both died and had their families threatened while attending this school

if you could add this following comment somewhere to the page and then leave it protected it could very well save lives, please just look at the links and consider the gravity of this situation.

thank you

_____________________________________

Webster University Thailand has been the subject of ongoing public speculation and scrutiny over the practices of its administration and director in both the media and in lawsuits over the safety standards and maltreatment of students.

Webster University itself has acknowledged its failures in this campus through an internal review citing "dozens of significant trouble areas for the school, ranging from facilities overrun by pests to a toxic culture where students commonly believe their administrators are crooks."

@Kasikb:Hiya, first of all, I removed the references you left on the talk page since it breaks a lot of formatting. Secondly, I don't really have a vested interest in the articles content itself. What you propose should be left on the Talk page of the article itself, so like minded editors can offer feedback and decide what is best. It is also worth noting that "information that could save lives" is not something really considered here. What matters is well sourced content (which it seems like you have anyways). I think you have some great points here, but it is something you should bring up on the article's talk page. --allthefoxes (Talk) 20:48, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Johnson Valley

Hello my friend. Thought you'd like to be made aware of the fact that the revert you did today in "Johnson Valley", was not a reversal of a "Good Faith edit". The man is a vandal, and has been blocked on all of his mobile phones and land line AP addresses a hundred times. As soon as the block is removed......."He's Back". Being sweet to him will not fix the problem. That page has to be permanently made "semi-protected". If you don't want to be back there 5 times a week reverting him, perhaps you will have more luck than me getting a permanent solution to the problem. I'm shocked you didn't see all the blocks and complaints on his talk page when you left that silly warning...lol. P.S. He is a "crotch shaving" barber to boot!... true story. Take a look at the edit summaries on that page, and read his profanity as well as his "Crotch Shaving Ads".....good faith edit....lol. Thanks - Pocketthis (talk) 17:15, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

@Pocketthis:I apologize! I didn't look into any context with the edit. Thanks for the heads up. --allthefoxes (Talk) 17:18, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
  • No problem. Actually I had a good chuckle for the first time in a while when I saw it. Yes, since you have chosen to revert vandalism here (thank you), you might want to get in the habit of reading the past edit summaries in the articles in question, before you decide how to handle the warning messages. Happy Editing! - Pocketthis (talk) 17:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I removed your deletion request in Kathira Sultan (daughter of Selim I). Your rationale was that an article about a living person should have source. Well it so happens, that (according to the article) this person is not a living person (death in 1572) But of course you can use another template for the lack of source.

Wikipedia is a place where all information exist. I'm the owner and I submit it to Wikipedia and may be make some mistake but you can suggest me. Why I used Wikipedia?

@Awladh07: - Hi there! I requested your article for deletion because your website is not Notable - Everything on wikipedia needs to meet the general notability guidelines and it did not seem like the article did. If you believe your website does meet these criteria, then you can attempt to make it again. In addition, it was removed because it was very promotional, which is not allowed. All articles need to be written in a neutral point of view. --allthefoxes (Talk) 19:44, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Bible and Cosmology

Hello all the foxes. I did not know how to link when I did the additions to the biblical context of cosmology. But the originator did not use links or substantiate. It is easy to say, "The bible says the earth is a flat circle," but like I said in my addition nowhere does the bible say that, rather it says, "circle of the earth," and a sphere viewed from any angle is a circle. I will redo my addition with links. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alohascope (talk • contribs) 23:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit?

"Hairy Pothead" began as a series of postings on the Rabble.ca forums. It was subsequently published, but the thread is still up, and contains some of the author's comments during the publishing process. I think it's certainly constructive to link to, since it contains both the first draft of the novel and people's views on it, which are ironic considering the book DID get published. An example: "I'd be surprised if any publisher will touch it. Don't forget that Rowling was already sued by someone that claimed she had stolen the idea for her books. While I'd love to read it publishing this would be guaranteeing a lawsuit that you're guaranteed to lose."

Could you please explain to me why you reverted my edit? --194.12.7.50 (talk) 02:26, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal talk 03:56, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Retrieving Deleted Material

How can I get back material that was on a page that was speedily deleted? PCN02WPS (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

You would likely need to contact an administrator, though exactly how, I am not sure. Content is deleted from Wikipedia if it is in-appropriate, so the history of the page is not usually kept publically. --allthefoxes (Talk) 23:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

You're probably absolutely right Judy .. Allthefoxes just goes around spoiling the grapes. It's useless trying to converse intelligently with him.

Ever here of Vandalia?

Listen allthefoxes .. you don't know vandalism from honest error .. so get another unpaid job making someone else rich.

Also, if "vandalism" is your 'new word for 2015' there is a new year coming .. trying Vandalia in 2016.

Hi Linda. Your word is unfortunately not enough here. You need to have some sort of third party, reliable reference. --allthefoxes (Talk) 02:53, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

It's funny that the word of the person you're writing about isn't good enough but YOU who DO NOT know me think it's ok for you to mislead people by writing an incorrect article about me.

The citation is already listed on the page. You removed it when you went to write your unsourced information.

The section on hubberts peak is so bad i wouldnt know where to start. you removed my edits/input, but you can get any number of reliable sources on mineral resources/peaks from the USGS and elsewhere. the various 'Peak mineral' sections are even worse. Somebody should look at these a i dont have time. thanks,

Hi. I will add it to my watchlist and look into some changes. I reverted your changes because you were adding a lot of unsourced material. If you want, your edits are still in the articles history. If you can find some sources to reference, it would be pretty easy to get things back with your changes! Thanks for your contributions! --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:18, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.

Hi. I removed your content since you were adding your own personal "talk" to the page. Wikipedia is an encylopedia, so statements like "I am skeptical about the attribution of this quote" do not belong in the encyclopedia. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:30, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Check It Edits

I don't exactly see why there is a conflict of interest in editing an objective page. The information put on the page is factually incorrect.

My recent edits

Hello allthefoxes. This is my first time editing a Wikipedia page and I guess that this is the best way to talk to you. Could you please tell me what part of the Cigar City Brewing page you took out? That will help me revise it. Thank you.

@Markwise: - Hey there. Are you by any chance affiliated with Cigar City Brewing? - Some of your contributions do not meet WP:NPOV --allthefoxes (Talk) 20:28, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

I am not affiliated, I write about beer in the state of Florida and have been looking to add information about Florida's breweries starting with these guys. I have been covering them for about six years, and do the writing first with the citations later.

I see a considerable amount of work I spent hours writing is now gone. I am wondering if that was you, and if so I am open to editing but really would prefer not to reinvent the wheel.

@Markwise: - All the changes are still in the history and can still be found there. Nothing is gone. However, your edits were reverted over my concerns about your NPOV.
Here are a few examples:

Cigar City Brewing's reputation was built on their core lineup of beers in association with occasional releases combined with tasting room rarities.

This is a pretty big use of WP:PUFF

as of 2015. From the inception of Cigar City, Jai Alai has been a best-selling beer.

Unsourced claim

For many years, Jai Alai IPA and Maduro brown ale were the two cores and the most consistent beers that Cigar City Brewing produced

Again unsourced, and an opinion

Hotter than Helles is a German-inspired light lager that is perfectly paired for Florida's hottest weather as the beer is only 5% alcohol by volume and very refreshing.

More puffery

Wikipedia is not a blog or writing place for beers, it is an encylopedia, and the writing style needs to reflect that. --allthefoxes (Talk) 20:43, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the examples. I understand why you would think this and while I do not want to get into a debate with you, I appreciate the feedback.

My edit

No, you did not make a mistake. I'm not sure how to do this, so, did not put a citation although it is listed on the Internet. I know Don Lasseter, personally; he was born in a cannery Alviso in 1935 & is a fairly well-known True Crime author & World War 2 Historian who ilives in Orange County Southern Californa. Thank You. Angelsings (talk) 03:31, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey there. Don't worry too much about the citation. The main reason I reverted your edit was reverted because Wikipedia does not allow non-notable list entries. While the person might be notable, they do not seem to have a Wikipedia article. Which somewhat shouted out to me that the entry and person was not notable. If you want to put the information back, I would not revert it again (though another editor might.) --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:38, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

My edit

Hello,

I don't know if you received my comment from yesterday re your putting my edit on hold. I, completely, understand the need for verification. No, you didn't make a mistake as I'm not sure how to edit nor cite on Wikipedia.

Under the category Trivia (because there wasn't one for Notable Citizens/Residents of) in Alviso, CA I added:

Don Lasseter, notableTrue Crime author & WWII Historian; born in an Alviso cannery building in 1935.

I don't know how to copy & paste on this smartphone but, if you have time, you can enter his name into a Google search which will bring up his many books & cite he was born there. I know him personally, spoke with him yesterday & he does not object to having this information put on Wikipedia.

Thank you for your time & assistance.

Hi, I am leaving this message because of the edits that I made to the Denny Hamlin article, which were reverted because you said they were non-constructive. The few edits that I did make were only the correction of some typos and spelling errors, and Hamlin had four Nationwide Series wins in 2008, not three, which is clearly shown in the table below.

I removed speedys

Thank you for your efforts in tagging articles for speedy deletion. But I want to tell you that I removed your speedy deletion tags from Highland Park Herald and a few other articles because: A1 did not apply because the context was clear (that the subject was a newspaper), and A7 did not apply because A7 applies only to "a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event"; so it applies to an organization (like a publishing company) but not to a product (like a newspaper). —teb728 t c 00:24, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

@Teb728: - Hiya, thanks. Either way, the articles were written just to promote another company, by a user who is clearly affiliated. I will PROD them for now, or look for areas of improvement. I was also under the impression that a newspaper or group would be considered an organization. --allthefoxes (Talk) 01:04, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Personally I wouldn't distinguish between newspaper and publisher here. And as Allthefoxes points out, the "artiles" did nothing but promote another company, so G11 would also apply even if the distinction between organization and product were relevant. Huon (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Regarding Carrie Wiki

Hi :) So I saw your message, and I returned to the Wiki and I put 2 sources, & then somebody else came along & said "This is entirely unsourced opinion, stop or you'll be blocked" (???) even though I listed 2 sources, one from Stephen King himself & another from a book about Stephen King. I was wondering if you could glance at what I wrote on the Wiki (in the Wiki history) & tell me what I was doing wrong? Lol. You seem a lot nicer than that other person was, so I figured I'd ask you for help, lol

Whatever you write needs to be sourced, so your sources need to say what you are saying in the article. We also are primarily looking for independant reliable sources like newspapers or magazines. --allthefoxes (Talk) 18:08, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
