A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I looked through your recent contributions and have seen a huge amount of anti-vandalism work. Thank you! It's a huge help and it should not go unappreciated. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:44, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Thank you! Same to you, as well. Cocohead781 (talk) 23:46, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Teahouse

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I reverted your closure of a thread at Teahouse. With a very very few exceptions, we don't close threads at Teahouse. The only time we do it is when it's purely disruption, and that is best left to the handful of admin that hang out at the Teahouse. The idea I think is to leave it open for further questions from the OP and for further explanation by other hosts. Where some may understand what I say quite well, others may understand someone else's explanation better. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 05:21, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

How do I submit an essay?

For now I've moved it to User:Cocohead781/Attacking yourself. To me it seems a personal essay, using the first person, so your userspace is the appropriate place. Compare WP:USERESSAY. Huon (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Sterling Ranch, Colorado. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:56, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea how to format it. Thanks for formatting it. Cocohead781 (talk) 20:02, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

VG Management - re Vittorio Grigolo

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Hi Cocohead781 I have made some amendments to Vittorio's page as per his instructions and you have just reverted them all Please can you explain why? What is the issue? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by VGmanagement (talkcontribs) 21:02, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

@VGmanagement Sure. I reverted your edits because they removed a section, Live Appearances, without explaining why. If you believe that the section was error-ful, then I would advise to change the section or explain in your edit summary. While the edit summary is optional, it helps people patrolling for vandalism by explaining what the edit is about. Thanks! Cocohead781 (talk) 21:32, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

I am an employee of this organization and have been tasked with removing material from the wikipedia page that factually misleading and/or inaccurate. I see that my edits have been deemed "vandalism", how can I fix this? Bmelville (talk) 22:25, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

@Bmelville To start, feel free to use the edit summary. This will give people a reasoning on why you are doing the thing you are doing. This can be very helpful. Second, you can fix up the text already there. Be sure to cite your sources. Last, declare you are being paid to edit Wikipedia. Add this template to your user page. Thank you for your openness to learn more about Wikipedia. Good luck on your adventures! Cocohead781 (talk) 22:31, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Warning Challenges

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Romeowiki (talk) 16:16, 31 October 2017 (UTC) Thank you for reviewing the changes I made to Planetromeo. The changes I mad may not seem constructive but they are very accurate. I removed old data since planet romeo has completely changed since the website was updated 4 months ago. Working at planet romeo, it is my duty to keep all published date about our brand and producers accurate.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will remove your warning, as your reasoning seems ok. Thank you again. Cocohead781 (talk) 16:26, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. We are collecting more accurate data and will be adding this in the future. Thanks for your quick reply. Romeowiki (talk) 16:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Will my changes be visible again shortly or do I have to do them again? Romeowiki (talk) 16:31, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Hi - re the Best Loved Game edit I made, I disagree it was not constructive. That page has some issues, and the section I deleted was one of them. It was purely a (greatly over-simplified) personal reflection on recent changes in cricket and had little if anything to do with the article, which is about a book published in 1978. As such, it has no place on that page. 195.188.42.194 (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I believe that my warning was made in error. I will remove it. But, in the future, I would recommend to create an account. Vandalism happens more over IP's, so they are filtered for review more. I apologize, and will remove the warning.
Thanks for removing the warning. I take your point about accounts, but I would also say that I'd left a clear description of the reason for my edit in the edit comments box, which made it clear it wasn't vandalism. Checking what had been deleted against the rest of the article would also have helped you to see it was constructive and not vandalism. Anyway, all sorted now.195.188.42.194 (talk) 12:52, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I probably would not have to "vandalize" if you chose to write legitimate facts instead slander. Ohh.... I forgot this is Wikipedia after all, so I probably should not expect many facts.

I reverted your edit because it was unsourced. This is harmful to Wikipedia because we rely on sources. Feel free to redo your edit if you have a source. I am willing to guide you through the citing process if this is so. Thanks! Cocohead781 (talk) 03:15, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

The source I would like to cite is: http://www.wardheernews.com/umal-and-faisal-clash-of-the-titans/ The information is on the 6/7nth paragraph I do not know how to cite on wikipedia, so I will write out the info and the website source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.13.236.156 (talk) 04:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

@198.13.236.156: If you are in the source editor, then you can use the cite button at the top of your screen. Position your cursor after the relevant data, and then hit Cite. This will open up a text box. Paste your link into there and hit save > Save changes. This should cite your source. Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi Cocohead, I think this edit I did is ok [1]. I am reordering the part of semidirect democracy inside direct democracy article, to a new article called semidirect democracy. So, this info now is inside Semidirect democracy article. I just moved, and avoided duplicity of info. What do you think?--Garçongrande (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

@Garçongrande:I have reverted my warning. The page was blanked after my edit, so It's all yours now. Cocohead781 (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Courier Mail

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Hi Cocohead It is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia that content requires SOURCES, which means there must be CITATIONS. It is not a blog where people get to include their own personal opinions. Neither of the items that I removed have citations. One had been marked as 'citation needed' for 5 YEARS. I have removed the content again pending CITATIONS. 2.30.225.13 (talk) 09:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@2.30.255.13: While it is correct stating that it has been marked for 5 years, I see no policy that prohibits citation needed tags after 5 years. Of course, I may be wrong, feel free to correct me. Feel free to add a cite cleanup tag to the page if you want it to have more citations. Thanks! Cocohead781 (talk) 13:00, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Cocohead781 any content that is uncited can be removed at any time by any user. All content in Wikipedia must be verifiable, and the burden of evidence is on the person restoring the content . This is our most core content policy, and reverting an IP user with it via Huggle and warning them was inappropriate. I'd also like to suggest that you slow down on Huggle and focus on patrolling recent changes for now. You have a fair amount of complaints about your vandal patrolling on this talk page, which suggests you need to slow down, and cutting out the automation to learn how to recognize vandalism manually is in my mind a good way forward. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:03, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Ok. I'll take a couple of days off Huggle. Cocohead781 (talk) 14:45, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. Also, as an FYI, while you are free to manage your talk page however you like, it's not typical to close discussions on it. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:53, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@2601:581:302:FB9B:0:0:0:E6A: You are welcome to add facts to articles, as long as you cite your sources. This is what makes Wikipedia great. Since your edit is unsorced, I removed it per WP:BURDEN. If you find a reliable source, you may redo your edit, but please cite your source. Have a great evening (It's late here), Cocohead781 (talk) 02:38, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I see you recently reviewed BMT Fourth Avenue Line and it appeared to be your first review. My only concern is that it seemed to have taken you only 20mins to review then pass immediately, which does concern me. Can you be sure all spelling and grammar is correct, and that you have checked the prose written against every reference to ensure it matches up? Even for an experienced reviewer, it would often take them a fair bit longer on an article of that size, with 80+ references.. certainly alot more than 20 minutes. The very quick turnaround concerns me, as there have been instances before where reviews have been reverted if it's apparent the undertaking was not done thouroughly. As its your first one, you may opt for get a second opinion to ensure your assessment fits with the view of others. Bungle (talkcontribs) 09:27, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

A message from Shane Manning

Hi,

You replied to my request to have access to edit the Wikipedia page on Michael McCormack MP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McCormack_(Australian_politician)).

You asked me to provide sources to the changes so that the page could be edited.

I've linked a number of sources below, some web pages directly from the Australian Government website as well as a number of news articles from various publications within Australia.

I hope these satisfy what is required to be granted access to change Minister McCormack's page.

Thanks,

Hi... I'm Lord Clement-Jones' PA... hence I updated his page with his current information.

Simonneed (talk) 19:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
--Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! The problem with your edit is that you are employed by Lord Clement-Jones. I implore you to read WP:COI before editing again. Again, welcome! Cocohead781 (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


Why do you want to leave information on there that is INCORRECT??

Simonneed (talk) 19:07, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Of course incorrect information is frowned upon. The best way to edit the page (or any page with a COI) is to file a edit request on the article's talk page. You can find the talk page link on the top of the article. Cocohead781 (talk) 19:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


At least change his son's name.... his son isn't called Richard - it's Harry. And if you type House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence into Google, you'll find plenty of up to date information on Tim if you do want to take any of my correct edits on board. This short interlude has made me realise that Wikipedia, like many say, is not up to date or based on fact.

Simonneed (talk) 19:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
@Simonneed:It does sound like you have something to add to the English Wikipedia. The wiki only updates when allowed by all of it's policies, and a COI editor can do some really nasty things, so the community as a whole has decided that COI editing should not be allowed. In it's place, a edit request can be posted, requesting that the article be edited. The only requirements for starting an edit request is a summary of changes and a Reliable Source. After that, an editor will come by and make your change you requested on the article, granted he accepts it. If you need help starting a edit request, I am always here to help you.
