Rather too much detail

Hello, just a note that you may be wasting your time by adding too much detail at Hydro Dynamics (FIRST), or at any similar articles. Rightly or wrongly, English Wikipedia frowns on excessively intricate detail that's of interest only to limited audiences, especially if it has not been noted by secondary sources.

If there is much more similar information that you want to compile in a wiki format, it might be worth finding or creating a place for it somewhere like Wikia instead.

There's no real harm in adding it here on Wikipedia for now, but don't be too disappointed if someone turns up and starts pruning it all away. MPS1992 (talk) 20:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Destination: Deep Space into Draft:Infinite Recharge. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Minister for the Union, which you proposed for deletion. The existence of the position has now been confirmed, as indictated by a source I added to the page. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Hurricane dorian

Hi! please don't change satelite image until the storms ends! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreiii3213 (talkcontribs) 14:31, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering what your reasoning is for this. A quick check of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones showed no guideline for keeping the same image until the storm ends, and in fact seems to encourage adding multiple images. It would also be odd if the image could not be updated as the storm develops. Rainclaw7 (talk) 14:43, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
yes, i know there posible no info about it but i one time got deleted for updating from that satelite type Andreiii3213 (talkcontribs) 14:46, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello. Im Wyatt2049, and I am part of the WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. I saw this talk message, and I will give you the final answer. You can and should keep updating the satellite image to keep it accurate and current. Please DO update the images, and thank you for doing so. @Andreiii3213:, please do not add false message unless you have a source. Thanks yo you all. --Wyatt2049 | (Talk) or (Stalk) 18:12, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Trump-Ukraine controversy

Hi. Although I appreciate your contribution to this article [1] Twitter is not considered to be a reliable source and this probably should be removed. Maybe you could remove it? Also, this would not count for purposes of 1RR because you are removing your own addition to the article. Thanks. Also, the phrase, "99 out of 100 historians", is most likely hyperbole and not necessarily accurate. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:54, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi! While I appreciate the info, I would like to inform you that the edit I made was restoring an edit made by another user that I removed during an edit conflict. The orginal editor is User:MarvellingLiked and the edit can be found here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trump–Ukraine_controversy&direction=prev&oldid=917856872). I agree with you however. Rainclaw7 (talk) 22:27, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Quality issue
Thank you for your submission of files Star Wars Force for Change Logo.svg and DC Defenders Logo.svg.
I have noticed that the SVG you uploaded is poorly traced and is now listed in Category: SVGs needing revectorization. While most submissions are useful, do you think you might be able to supply a better quality version of the same, or similar content? You can either upload an improved version or simply allow the file to be deleted. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the SVG help page. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. In all cases, please do not take this message personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you, and happy editing!

User profile

Hello Rainclaw7. I noticed your profile on the Infinite Recharge article was blue, so I clicked on it. I saw all the neat banners, including one that said you are a mentor. How can I add and create one of those? I am new to Wikipedia (not FRC, joined a team during Steamworks) and I'd like to know how you did it :). Thanks so much! Frasererin01 (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

When you log in, you should be able to click on your username in the top right hand corner in order to access your userpage. It works the same as creating a normal page, guidelines are at WP:UP. You can find all existing userboxes, including FIRST ones, at WP:UBG. FIRST is under interests, then memberships. Rainclaw7 (talk) 17:26, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I know how to do that, and I found ones I want on my page (set it in my Sandbox). I'm just wondering how to get it in a sidebar like yours, rather than links to them. I could do it on Chief Delphi, before the change to viewing it if that helps in how to explain it.Frasererin01 (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion. You can find a template for stacking them at Template:Userboxtop. Also just as an FYI you should use a colon or series of colons before a reply on a talk page, I edited this page as an example. Rainclaw7 (talk) 18:40, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I see now. Thanks! I'm new to Wikipedia so I'm still texting one of the Admins questions (I know one of them IRL (she's mu Supervisor) lol). It's one less thing she'll need to teach me now and hope I annoy her less :P
EDIT: I tried out what you told me and it worked! Thanks so much :D

Your draft article, Draft:Infinite Recharge

Hello, Rainclaw7. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Infinite Recharge".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 08:20, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Commercial Crew Program

Hey there. I just wanted to give you a heads up that you threw way too much out into the Commercial Crew Program for me to handle at the moment; I think it's best that we go about this step-by-step over the coming days so that the article isn't immediately a mess. I've gone reverted it back to how it was before the edit so that we can work from there. I just don't wanna be overworked with this one article, that's all! I hope you understand! :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 02:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

PhilipTerryGraham, everything in there is from my sandbox article that you looked over and said looked good. If there's any changes to be made they can be made, but it's not like you haven't seen this page before. Rainclaw7 (talk) 02:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
To quote myself, I said "this general outline for an expanded CCP article would work", not that it was perfect. There's many things than need to change, such as more concise wording, correction of various facts presented, citation formatting, box designs, consolidated paragraphs, and delegation of information to Development of the Commercial Crew Program, among other things. Your sandbox page serves as a great guide on developing the article, but in my opinion it doesn't work well being the article itself. It's much easier for me to simply write the material from scratch, especially when checking claims and verifying them with the correct sources, than sifting through something already pre-written and trying to make a new article out of it. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 02:32, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Changing to Taiwan

FRC lists Taiwan as Chinese Taipei. I don't care if you don't agree with it, I don't either, but that's what it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C13joer (talkcontribs) 13:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE C13joer (talk) 13:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


Chinese Taipei —> Taiwan

First lists it as Chinese Taipei so that’s what it’s listed as (Also sorry for also saying this on your talk page I forgor about this lol)

Typically this kind of thing is only mentioned in an edit summary or on the article talk page. But yeah, that is the term that they use. Rainclaw7 (talk) 16:34, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
