November 2017[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Foundation figures, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Additionally: Do not use this tone in edit summaries again: [1] | Uncle Milty | talk | 21:35, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Foundation Figures[edit]

Is there a reason you created both Foundation Figures and Foundation figures? Nihlus 03:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Foundation figures was meant to be sandbox, Foundation Figures is a more final draft. THis is a large group still trying to figure things out. I apologize for these issues. Any advice on how to easily combine the pages? 11:00 28 Nov 2017 (CST)

This would be an uncontroversial WP:MERGE with redirect. Please check the naming conventions described at WP:TITLE, particularly WP:LOWERCASE. It is most probable that Foundation figures is the preferred title (sentence case is our standard). You can do it yourself or request a merge by someone who has some experience. It is not particularly difficult. If you get it wrong it can be fixed, but it is preferred to get it right. In this case there would be no need for a discussion, and a bold merge would be appropriate.

Please sign your talk page edits with four tildes, even on your own talk page. Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 09:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: I have moved 'Foundation figures' out of article space to this user's space based upon the comment above. I recommend not bothering to edit that version. I considered moving Foundation Figures to Draft space but it seems to be far enough along that I will leave its fate to discussion on its talk page. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Uncle Milty: The correct capitalization for the title of the article is "Foundation figures," with a lower-cased "f" in "foundation." Could you move the page Foundation Figures to that corrected capitalization? (I will also mention that I made several edits to the article Foundation figures, which you moved to this user's namespace because I thought it was a real article. Now that I know that that article was apparently intended as a sandbox page, I will be moving the material I added to that draft to the real article.)--Katolophyromai (talk) 20:47, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. I forgot that non-administrators can move pages. I have now moved the page to the appropriate location myself. --Katolophyromai (talk) 20:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, we edit conflicted on that move but you won. I'd forgotten to take care of that after the rest of the cleanup. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 20:54, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Wikiprojectgroup2, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} on your user talk page, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Longhair\^talk 05:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Decline reason:

Per this diff and this edit summary, it seems evident that this account is accessed by multiple users, which means it cannot be unblocked. You should each create your own personal account instead. Yunshui ^雲 _水 09:33, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This group of students has also been disruptive and refused to identify their instructor (by blanking their talk page). I would really like to contact the instructor about how to make this assignment better, because the other students seem to be making quality contributions. I recommend a block until we can find some way to contact the instructor who gave this assignment to these students, so we can get them in touch with Wiki Ed to design an assignment that actually teaches students how Wikipedia works? Getting cursed at for offering to help them make their article better is definitely a new experience for me. -- Owlsmcgee (talk) 08:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Working as a group[edit]

Please note that every individual Wikipedia editor has to take responsibility for their own edits, so you must each have and use a separate editor name (unless you choose to edit anonymously from IP addresses). See Wikipedia:Username_policy#Shared_accounts. Your editor name, and your statement above, suggest that a group of you are sharing one editor name, and this is not allowed - if you are doing this as part of a course, then your instructor should have made this clear to you and has let you down by not doing so.
