User talk:DoctorWho42/Archive 10Thank youIt's good to know that there are still some sane users on Wikipedia who see the facts for what they are. Whenever somebody tries to strive for accurate facts, they get harassed or ganged up on. I can't even begin to tell you how much of that I've been through. And for someone who's been through what I've been through on Wikipedia, being appreciated means a lot to me; especially when my faults have been strongly criticized, but almost all my positive input (which constitutes over ten thousand edits) gone largely ignored. Thank you for acknowledging me good efforts.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 22:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC) Let us all strive to propagate only facts, whether or not they please us as individuals. We should appreciate those editors who devote copious amounts of their valuable time to improving Wikipedia for the benefit of all users.

We noticed though that when you edited Turpsycore, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Turpitude. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please don't do that again. Thanks. —DoRD (talk) 10:44, 9 May 2017 (UTC) Welcome messagesIs there a reason you've been welcome-spamming absent editors, some which haven't edited since 2010?

Hey! I love your work with "The Law of Vacant Places" and "The Law of Non-Contradiction". For what it's worth, I added a list of Thaddeus Mobley's books to List of fictional books from non-print media. Feel free to make any appropriate edits.

Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:12, 15 May 2017 (UTC) Thanks & a questionDoctorWho42, Thanks for you nice letter of welcome to the Wikipedia community. I have already reviewed all (well, maybe most) of the documents & guidelines you suggested. However, not all of it makes a lot of sense to me in that I can't read computer jargon. It's one of the downsides of being 61 & having grown up in the pre-computer age. So here's my question: Whenever I do a citation for a website, when it prints out on the cites list at the bottom of the article, there's a link that reads url=value (help). But when I click on help, it takes me to a page of jargon that I honestly don't understand. Can you explain, using simple words and short sentences (ha-ha), what info I'm missing? And where on the citation template I should put it? Thanks in advance. James P. Van Dyke (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2017 (UTC)James P. Van Dyke
John TitorHi! Thank you for the "thank" on my edit. This is more of a friendly/personal message than a editor's inquiry. I'm sure you have, but I was just wondering if you'd come across the recent(ish) theories about John Titor having actually been (a time traveling) Donald Trump under another one of his pseudonyms?

Welcoming usersHi there. Please don't indiscriminately spam welcome messages at new users. You are leaving only one of the many welcome messages, and this can be problematic. Spamming a single basic and generic good faith welcome interferes with one of the mechanisms for dealing with problematic new users, as it removes (or mades more difficult) the ability to use one of the welcome messages tailored to specific problematic scenarios. That means that a problem user may be getting a cheerful welcome which fails to provide guidance on the area where they need guidance. It also means that bad faith new users are getting mixed messages. There are also a wide variety of good faith welcome messages, some with many more helpful links, others specific to particular subject areas. Welcoming is good, but it needs to be a carefully considered thing, and not just spammed out at a high rate. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 20:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Go to their talk page and add {{subst:COIN-notice}}, and the usual four tilde signature. I like to include the discussion name, which will be a link that the editor can click to go directly to it.

Cheers.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 08:25, 24 June 2017 (UTC) Indiscriminate spamming of welcome messagesHi, as previously mentioned by Primefac and myself, please do not indiscriminately spam welcome messages. There are a large number of different welcome messages which cover different scenarios. Indiscriminate spamming of messages interferes with using messages which are more appropriate. In particular, giving a good faith message out to vandals is counterproductive and frequently a waste of space. Even in non-malicious scenarios, there are messages which are intended to give specific help based on the user's contributions. If we wanted a standard welcome spammed at everyone, we would have a bot doing it. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 09:09, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

ThanksThanks for you welcoming message. I already have an account but have previously met with some severe criticism regarding some of my edits to remove what I considered to be self-serving obfuscations or outright falsehoods regarding this or that subject (e.g. the history of the Ashkenazi which conflicts greatly with the account given by the Jewish historian Arthur Koestler in his "The Thirteenth Tribe"). Also other topics such as certain reliably recorded but unflattering accounts of Koch Bros behaviors. Wikipedia seems highly allergic to truth in some cases which might involve litigation. And my edits are rare so why log in if I can make a small positive suggestion rather than an outright edit, no? 50.53.20.80 (talk) 16:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)William Bjornson Orphaned non-free image File:Mr. Lobo in Citizen Wood.jpgThanks for uploading File:Mr. Lobo in Citizen Wood.jpg.

Speedy deletion nomination of User creation log A tag has been placed on User creation log requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
