TalkUser page formatting

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Could someone fix the formatting of my ~~talk~~User page as the sections look misplaced to me. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:41, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. If you could be more specific about what looks wrong, maybe someone could be of more help. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: Fixed with live help at about same time RhinosF1 (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Or did you mean your user page? You could add a {{clear}} directive just before any section header that seems to be jammed up against earlier content. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh:

Already done by User:Enterprisey. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Whale!!

Smash!

You've been squished by a whale!
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something really silly.

Fair Galaxy Trouts

== Trouted == {{trout}} You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE [[User:Fair Galaxy|Fair Galaxy]] ([[User talk:Fair Galaxy|talk]]) 18:39, 18 January 2019 (UTC) Lifting gossip from tabloids is unnecessary. : {{ping|Fair Galaxy}} I'm looking into getting another opinion on the content.

[[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1#top|talk]]) 18:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC) == Trouted == {{trout}} You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE [[User:Fair Galaxy|Fair Galaxy]] ([[User talk:Fair Galaxy|talk]]) 18:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC) This is me you're writing about on said Wikipedia page - I'm fed up with gossipy information being put up on the Wikipedia page which pertains to myself and family. It is unnecessary to churn out generalised gossip you've rehashed from tabloids. I should be allowed to edit and reduce the information on Wikipedia page which is about me without having to get into a removal and subsequent reinstatement war. :If you are involved then you have a [[WP:COI]] and need to use [[Template:edit request|<nowiki>{{edit request}}]] on the article talk page to request changes. I understand your concerns and am happy to see what measures can be applied to address your concerns. If you join the #wikipedia-en IRC channel you'll be able to get live Assistance. Thanks, RhinosF1 (talk) 19:05, 18 January 2019 (UTC) </nowiki>

Removed and collapsed as user was edit warring and has been dealt with. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:56, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:00, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

I do normally if I have to report and I understand your concern. I normally just pass them on to an admin on IRC who in most cases will block edits or not but recently less admins have been around. 06:35, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Jean Wyllys

Hi there! Since you’re a third party involved in this, could you please give your opinion? Am I disrupting WP in any way? I spent a good amount of time making these productive changes, improving wording and trying to make it more npov. Please check my changes, it’s not a big thing but a better version for the readers: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jean_Wyllys&diff=880266643&oldid=880265814
it’s my first time here but it seems you guys don’t want newcomers. --Damonshady (talk) 12:36, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

@Damonshady: I have asked an administrator to look in to the edit war at this noticeboard but I'll have a look in detail myself now. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:38, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

I'd rather an editor with more knowledge on the subject looked into it, a more experienced editor will be along shortly. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

You didn't want this, but the script thinks it is your article. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Tepito Arte Acá has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Tepito Arte Acá. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 21:05, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: Its not my article an editor just claimed they had 'finished' it and moved to mainspace so I draftied it and sent through AfC. RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 21:13, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tepito Arte Acá (January 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tepito Arte Acá and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Tepito Arte Acá, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
