A tag has been placed on Lil quads, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Minimac94 (talk) 15:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Lil quads. LinDrug (talk) 15:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2010[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kinect, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kinect, you may be blocked from editing. McDoobAU93 15:27, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Kinect, you will be blocked from editing without further notice.
Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Kinect was changed by Sammy00193 (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2010-10-21T15:38:51+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 15:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

i realize the wrong i have done and i promise that this will never hapopen again because i relize that it was all my fault that i got blocked and hope you could unblock me thank-you

Decline reason:

I am reluctant to unblock this account without seeing some evidence of good editing for the future. Therefore I suggest that we go for a second chance. I will add the appropriate template to the bottom of this page  Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

As an editor who has had to deal with your, er, handiwork, I would like to know a few things. First, what do you think you did wrong to merit the indefinite block? Second, why was it wrong? Third, how will your editing behavior change to indicate that this won't happen again? --McDoobAU93 15:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I belive the wrong that i posed is that i deleted the entier kinect page which was very stupid on my part and attempted to add something on it that i found to be liable information. It was wrong because the admins of wikipedia had to deal with the stuff that i was doing and was unfair to said admins like yourself and others. Also i was putting info that was completely irelavent to what the page was about messing up other viewers of this page experience viewing it. my editing behaviour will change by only editing things i 100% know about and will put liable information in said pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammy00193 (talkcontribs)

Let me clarify that I'm not an admin yet (someday, maybe), just a concerned editor. So there's no need to post as an "unblock" request. You can still edit your own talk page for now (yes, that privilege can be taken away if it's abused). Let me ask a couple of related questions. First, there are warnings about disruptive edits going back for a year, yet after you've been blocked your tune changes ... are you seeing the error of your ways solely because you got blocked, or because you truly want to constructively contribute to the project? Next, a hypothetical situation: a constructive edit you make that you know 100% about gets reverted as being "uncited." What would you do to fix the situation? --McDoobAU93 15:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second Chance[edit]

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

  1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
  2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
     • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}});
     • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]);
     • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]);
     • do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
  3. Click edit at your talk page, and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
  4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
  5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include citations to reliable sources (which they should), place at the end of the prose you copied this template {{reflist-talk}} and then save.
  • Now, edit that content to propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. {{helpme}}|what could i do in the way of remaking an artical and which one would be most useful in me remaking or are you saying that i have to make my own page on my talk page and if thats the case then what could i make that has never been made before thank you

Write an article, here, on your talk page. Give us a shout with another 'helpme' when you want us to look at it. Make sure it is well-referenced; see WP:YFA.  Chzz  ►  21:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Playstation Home

Events[edit]

Home plays host to many types of events, such as developer interviews. They are organised by Home and its affiliated content providers. Live events such as sports and concerts may also be broadcast within Home.[1] Premium events may well use the PlayStation Network Wallet. Special events are held at the 'PlayStation Events Space', the 'Home Café' and 'The Gamer's Lounge'.

December 11, 2009 marked the one year anniversary of the Open Beta. During this time, the European and North American Home's treated the PlayStation Home Community for the anniversary. In the European Home, the Home team gave away a free personal apartment, the Tree House Personal Apartment, for two weeks as well as having a winter event in a redesigned Events Landing space. It was renamed the "Winter Wonderland" and featured daily activities for the users to gain rewards.[2] In the North American Home, the Home team placed a Festive Tree in the Central Plaza that had different puzzles daily for different rewards. The first reward was a commemorative Open Beta Anniversary T-shirt. Each days riddle commemorated an event from the first year of the Open Beta.[3] On December 26, 2009, the Festive Tree poofed into smoke to become the PlayStation Home ball which dropped on New Year's Eve counting down the new year. Asia also celebrated the one year anniversary with a Treasure Hunt game from December 10 to December 27, 2009. Users who found the secret code and messaged it to the specified moderator had the chance to win a HK$100 PSN voucher or a PSP go Virtual Tee.[4]

There are some events in Home where users can win PS3 games. Between the hours of 8 am PT November 5, 2009 and 12 pm PT November 6, 2009, users in the North American Home (only U.S. citizens) had the chance to win the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Fortune Hunter Edition. Users had to go to the Uncharted 2 space between those times and play the "Mask Mayhem" mini-game. The user who placed first on the leader board in the Uncharted 2 space received the Fortune Hunter Edition.[5] Users had two other chances over the next month to win the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Fortune Hunter Edition.

Some events are used to promote upcoming films. In Europe, there was a treasure hunt occurring in Home to promote the film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In this event, the users had to go to a poster in one of the Home spaces that was advertising the film and click the link option to open the Web Browser which took them to a web page where the users played a game. If they beat the game, they were rewarded a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen themed t-shirt for their avatar and then could proceed to the next game when it was released. When the next game was released, it was in a different Home space from the previous game. There were a total of six games over the course of June 6, 2009 to June 24, 2009; the last game required the users to solve the previous five games again and rewarded a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trophy for users personal spaces.[6]

In the European and North American Home, the Home management team have set up days for game launching events for some games that fully support game launching. For example, in the North American Home, there is a "Resistance 2: SRPA Siege Night" which is every Friday from 6 pm PT to 10 pm PT.[7] The North American Home now has a "Featured Game Night" where online multi-player games have been pre-selected in advance to be featured every night of the month for users to meet up in Home and launch into the featured game of the night.

The first several events in Home required the users to either answer questions or suggest ideas on the Official PlayStation Home Forums for a chance to win a prize. A couple of these events were the "12 Games of Christmas"[8], a question and answer event for the 12 Days of Christmas, and "Name the New Home Space", which determined the name of the North American Home Space known as the 'Home Café' in Asia and Japan.[9] The prize was generally a $10 USD product voucher for virtual items in the shopping complex. These events were organised by the PlayStation Home Managers.

For halloween of 2010 playstation home decided to create an event located in the middle of the central plaza. The game has a limit of up to four players who must work together to toss coins as an offering to the pumpkin that rotates in a circular motion. The game is built so that there is a bar on the left side of the screen and when the pumpkin's mouth is facing you're way you must hit the X button when the marker is in the green area. The bar on the left shows when you should throw(press X) the coin so it will go into the mouth. The bar has three colours red, yellow, and green. When the marker is on the green you throw the coin and it will go into the mouth gaining you points. If you hit the red or yellow it will result in a miss and will make you lose the combo if you had one. There are 4 levels of difficulty level 1, 2, 3, and 4. To move up in the levels you must get a requierd amount of coins into the pumpkin. The higher the level the harder it is to get the coin in because the green area on the left hand bar shrinks. If you get to level 2 you and you get to many misses you will go back to level 1. For every level passed you will recive an item of clothing which inclueds a shirt, pants, shoes, head, and gloves. The more players the easier it will be to get past level 4.

Request reason:

i am finished with my edit and i hope you the admins of wikipedia will find it useful the the community of wikipedia

Decline reason:

Your proposed addition, the paragraph starting with "For halloween of 2010", is not a significant and well researched improvement; it also does not reflect relevant policies. It has no wikilinks or references, is poorly spelled and is written in an entirely inappropriate tone (addressing the reader as "you"), and moreover it reads like a game guide. For these reasons, your proposed addition is not useful. Unblocking you would therefore not benefit Wikipedia.  Sandstein  20:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are obviously interested in video games, so that should be an area you stick with. Let's take this one step at a time and see if that makes things a bit clearer. Your first "assignment": There are a number of video game articles on Wikipedia that could be expanded. Look through the articles of games you like; some of them are very well written, while others will need a lot of help. Locate three articles on video games that are rated either "stub-class" or "start-class". You'll find the ratings on the articles' talk pages. If these are games that you're familiar with, so much the better. Post their links here on your talk page and we'll proceed to the next step. (Needless to say these "assignments" are completely optional; you are free to ignore them, but I am doing this in order to help you.) --McDoobAU93 16:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammy00193 (talkcontribs) 15:37, 26 October 2010

Thanks for your suggestion; however, sadly, as a blocked editor you are currently unable to contribute to Wikipedia, other than to appeal your block or request unblocking.  Chzz  ►  17:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

so i was wondering McDoob am i allowed to talk on my page as long as its not bad like the fact that i hate blocks and for the love of me cant find a single artical that needs to be looked at and for that reason i have not much to do plus there is a stupid mistake in the dang squid page and nobody will fix it squids have 9 highly developed brains so can you change that god and thank you

There are plenty of video game articles that need assistance in some form. What the admins are looking for is proof that you want to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. Ranting about a block and not finding one article (out of millions) that needs some form of constructive editing isn't very helpful to your cause. If what you say regarding the squid is true, then here's what I'd suggest ... identify the episode number of the show that contained that information. Televisions programs can be considered reliable sources, if the show is factual in nature, such as a documentary or news program. Take that section of the squid article, which admittedly is rather short, and expand upon it, just as the admins suggested. Note the number of brains, with the source information. Locate other articles on the web showing how the intelligence of the squid has been tested, and add that. Write that section here in your talk page, making sure to use proper grammar, spelling, etc. --McDoobAU93 16:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Head[edit]

The head end bears 8 arms and 2 tentacles, each a form of muscular hydrostat containing many suckers along the edge. These tentacles do not grow back if severed. In the mature male, one basal half of the left ventral tentacle is hectocotylised — and ends in a copulatory pad rather than suckers. It is used for intercourse.

The mouth is equipped with a sharp horny beak mainly made of chitin[10] and cross-linked proteins, and is used to kill and tear prey into manageable pieces. The beak is very robust, but does not contain minerals, unlike the teeth and jaws of many other organisms, including marine species.[11] Captured whales often have indigestible squid beaks in their stomachs. The mouth contains the radula (the rough tongue common to all molluscs except bivalvia and aplacophora).

The eyes, on either side of the head, each contain a hard lens. The lens is focused through movement, much like the lens of a camera or telescope, rather than changing shape as the lens in the human eye does.

Squids appear to have limited hearing.[12]

Squids are extremly intelligent because they possess nine brains that add to the ability to learn and preform seemingly impossible tasks that even primates could never accomplish. [1] This intellegence was tested by the use of a jar with a lid which the squid was challenged to open and a bottle neck flask that the squid again had to retrive the food from. Other test were in the form of trial and error. The squid was placed in a box like maze and in the water with it's most feared predator. The squid had to find his/her way out of the maze while avoiding the predator from finding the squid.

Request reason:

i have added another artical update and belive this one is better then the recent one i attempted to fix

Decline reason:

The reference cited is for a documentary about octupuses, not squid! Also, the webpage does not mention nine brains. Even if you were to suggest adding the paragraph you have added (which I have highlighted above) to the Octopus article, it would not add anything new to the section which that article already has on intelligence. At the moment, I see no evidence to suggest that an unblock is currently the right way forward. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 00:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your latest article does not cite any references. The spelling mistakes are not important. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Helpme Please[edit]

To site references you need to add them like this.
 This is the sentence to be referenced. <ref>www.thebestsite.com</ref>
 I hope this helped <ref>The Book of Help; Aardvark Publications</ref>
 

That will appear like:
This is the sentence to be referenced. [13] I hope this helped [14] After that you add a heading "==References==" with the template {{reflist}} I hope that helped.
