Uncreative Username 37

 

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Ugncreative Usergname. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

A boring physics class? Funny, almost abusive. Regardless, I fail to understand the idea to remove this page? I have received and email and letter from the "Oxford University Press" "Oxford Dictionaries" and "Scottish Qualifications Authority" today regarding its authenticity and creation, 12th January 2012, no wonder there is no use of it. If "In Popular Culture" section is unacceptable it can be removed. This article must continue. I would have to verify it with the senders, but could post a PDF of a letter, email and future article from the Oxford Dicionaries and University Press regarding its introduction to society and the language?

Wikipedia isn't meant for dictionary entries. Wiktionary will take your entry if you can source that it's a real word. –Ugncreative Usergname (talk) 03:41, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nonsense at CSD is quite tightly defined. Stuff like 'utycuyyik iuyt trddeu' needs to be checked at Google to see if it is really some form of Foreign. Take a chunk and put it in in quotes. If it comes up, it's probably a copyvio in Foreign. If not, take off the quotes and look for the words to come up. It's often possible to work out what the language is this way. (And make yourself look clever when you tag it for translation from Upper Slobodian...). If nothing appears, or there were no vowels at all (bearing in mind that w, j, r, and y can be used as (sort of) vowels), it's nonsense. If it's stuff like 'run the fisherman sideways aardvark polewards simplicity', it's likely to be nonsense. But if it makes a coherent sentence, it ain't nonsense even though it may be rubbish. Rubbish is not CSD deletable, except under context or content (lack of). The man who thinks he can is actually a poem, and I've made it a redirect to the article Thinking (poem).

Sorry, I'll be a lot more careful about that from now on. –Ugncreative Usergname (talk) 18:12, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Took me a while to get the hang of these things. Peridon (talk) 18:17, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

2012 MLL season if you want to re name it 2012 Major League Lacrosse season than please also rename the 11 other pages (2001 MLL season thru 2011) and fix all the links to them as well thanks Smith03 (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello, please can you tell me how I create a portuguese language version of the Wikipedia:IPA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathanael Everton (talk • contribs) 16:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Easiest way I can think of is to copy the page of a similar language (this for instance) and use it as a template. –Ugncreative Usergname (talk) 19:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

National Football League Draft was apparently vandalized by 71.176.63.241 on 12:43, 6 December 2011‎. You apparently fixed some but not all of the damage in your next revision to the article. The more efficient fix would have been to undo the vandalism at that point. Now the article has undergone many further edits by other editors who did not notice the vandalism of 6 December 2011‎. I noticed a problem when reading the National Football League Draft#Precursor and rationale section, which resulted from damage to a ref tag that hides some intervening text. I've done the same thing myself, editing a mistake that I see in an article, without checking the history to see if a vandal may have just inserted it. If the vandal damaged several things, bits of the damage may become hidden in the article history and be difficult for later editors to untangle. For Wikipedia to succeed, it must insure that committing vandalism must take more work than correcting the vandalism. Otherwise, the vandals win. In this case the vandal did win, since I spent more time working out what happened than the vandal could have needed to change a few characters to gibberish. --Teratornis (talk) 05:37, 23 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think I fixed the remaining damage from that particular vandal. --Teratornis (talk) 06:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I assumed it was just terrible grammar, but yeah, I'll actually check the history from now on. –Ugncreative Usergname (talk) 18:42, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Pedicare. Since you had some involvement with the Pedicare redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Thryduulf (talk) 16:09, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sam Bennett (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
