Welcome to Wikipedia, SpacedFarmer! I'm Mujinga, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Your PRODs

Hi, I noticed that your PRODs of ListenBrainz and then MusicBrainz and then Freedb, all of which were removed. I would suggest you get more experience with editing and notability before nominating articles for deletion. I think it's in pretty bad faith to redirect articles after the PROD is removed so I'm going to undo that; if you think they're not notable, send them to AFD, which you apparently know how to use. Legoktm (talk) 18:27, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

The reason why I made the decision to redirect was that they were thin on notability. Redirecting it will strengthen it. The main reason why I redirected Picard is, only a few apps and softwares of websites (such as iTunes) are notable on their own. Is there a point of nominating an article for deletion when i only want to merge SpacedFarmer (talk) 15:02, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

A7 on Autodelta (UK)

Hello SpacedFarmer -- I've declined this A7 partly because there's a minor claim in the Top Gear appearance, but mainly because the article's been in existence since 2007, with multiple editors over that time. That suggests it's been fully assimilated into the encyclopedia and should not be deleted by speedy (ie by a single editor and admin), without an opportunity for review by the community. I'd suggest WP:Articles for deletion, if you believe notability is not there. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited Nissan Skyline RS Silhouette Formula, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Hobbs. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Merging

Hi, I see you have changed a bunch of articles to redirects, following consensus for a merge. However, you can't just do a redirect and call it a day. See WP:PROMERGE for how to properly merge an article into another. Most of the information in the articles to be merged is worth keeping. Thanks. --16:34, 19 January 2024 (UTC) Vossanova ^o< 16:34, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

January 2024

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:50, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

I see you are still moving text from one article to another without attribution, particularly multiple WP:SPLITs from Macau Grand Prix without attribution. Diannaa has already explained the need for attribution. Reading the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorsport#Macau Grand Prix, I don't think consensus to split was obtained, and, as pointed out in the discussion, the correct place to hold this discussion is at Talk:Macau Grand Prix. There may well be people who are interested in the article that do not watch Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorsport. My advice would be to self-revert your changes and then start a discussion on Talk:Macau Grand Prix, which may well generate greater participation. --John B123 (talk) 20:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I cannot revert created article now I done what I wished for, breaking the two into their own articles; both has potential for their own articles anyway and deserved it. SpacedFarmer (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for what one editor 'wished for' especially when others disagree. WP is based on collaboration and consensus between editors, and has defined procedures to assist this. As your initial changes to Macau Grand Prix were reverted by Rpo.castro with the edit summary Discussion is still ongoing and not closed, and if discussion reaches conclusion of split, the content should be deleted after the split not before!, your continued splitting of the article could be viewed as WP:EDITWARRING. --John B123 (talk) 22:16, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

AFDs

Hello, SpacedFarmer,

What is with all of these AFDs? You have only been editing for a few months and have gotten in way over your head especially choosing to do bundled nominations which are very complicated and should only be done when articles are similar to the point of being almost identical. There is no reward for getting articles deleted and should only be sought if articles can not be improved through editing or finding additional sources that can bolster notability claims.

If you wish to stop these AFDs, the procedure is for the nominator to make a formal comment, underneath their nomination statement, expressing the wish to "withdraw" the nomination. If this is your intent, then please follow this AFD custom. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:05, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I thought it would be simpler to bundle them together as Conyo suggested in one of the nominations. I have to admit it is tricky. SpacedFarmer (talk) 10:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Macau Grand Prix

Please retract your comments and edit your language used on this talk page, besides being wp:uncivil you have directly named somebody which could lead you to an instant ban. Whether you choose to contribute or not is entirely up to you, you don't have to wait to be kicked out, but it looks like you enjoy contributing. Perhaps take a break or take some time to think of others before posting your thoughts. Rally Wonk (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Merge proposal

When you're placing merge proposal, as you've done here and on other engine-related pages, remember to put the relevant template on the other page too, so the readers of both pages can contribute to the discussion. Remember to start a Discussion on the talk page too! See WP:MERGEPROP for more details. Klbrain (talk) 12:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
