Help on Carpentersville, Illinois

I see you're trying to add sources for that material on Carpentersville, Illinois. Thanks for doing that. I've gone in and fixed the template. All you were missing was the "=" sign between "url" and the URL. I've also tagged the article with {{linkrot}}. If you can fill out more paramaters in the {{cite web}} template, please do so. Otherwise one of the good linkrot patrollers will come by and try to fix it up.

Don't be discouraged. A lot of new editors have problems with these citation templates. You'll get the hang of them quickly! Toddst1 (talk) 16:41, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

By the way, it's probably best to stay away from 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting for a while - that article is under such scrutiny, it will be very difficult for a new editor like yourself to find success there and you can find yourself slapped with more templated messages like the ones above and get discouraged quickly. I'm not saying you can't edit there, but I think there are easier places to "cut your teeth." Toddst1 (talk) 16:44, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Carpentersville Middle School (March 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chenzw was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The demographic citations show routine coverage. The coverage of incidents comes from one local source. No independent in-depth coverage needed for the WP:CORP guideline.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gene93k was:
Notability issues not solved since previous decline. Middle schools are not automatically notable without significant non-local and non-routine coverage. Adding more incidents with Chicagoland media coverage does not help.

Speedy deletion nomination of Asdfhgbjn

Hello EDG 543,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Asdfhgbjn for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Carpentersville Middle School (April 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Heliosxeros was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Please refer to other articles of schools within the region on Wiki as a guide.
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.

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Draft talk:Carpentersville Middle School, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. • Gene93k (talk) 21:40, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Carpentersville Middle School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Primefac (talk) 17:33, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Word to the wise

If you keep up the insistence on citing the name of the school, you are likely to be blocked from editing very soon. Locking the article from being edited is the gentle way of stopping the argument -- but when someone comes back right away and starts the same edit war again, the next step is to block that person from editing. That's not a cool thing and would damage your future as a Wikipedian. So I suggest, just forget about it, walk away from that disagreement. If you can, walk away from that article. MPS1992 (talk) 20:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

@MPS1992:Can you please explain to me why I can't cite the name of the school? How else am I supposed to prove it?" Also, not trying to argue/ get blocked. I just really want to know. Also, could you put it on the Carpentersville Middle School talk page please? EDG 543 (talk) 20:36, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
I think there has already been plenty of discussion about it on the article talk page. Until the balance of views on the article talk page changes, it's best not to add it back into the article. Sorry. MPS1992 (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
@MPS1992: *sigh* Thanks anyway. I appreciate it.

Ways to improve Vivo V9

Hi, I'm Kudpung. EDG 543, thanks for creating Vivo V9!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please complete and add sources. If you need longer, it will be moved to draft space.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

That's generally only for articles that have already been around for a while and are undergoing a short expansion or copy edit. The effort is to produce new articles in mainspace that are as complete as possible. For that, we put at your disposal your own sandbox where you can develop an article at your leisure until it is ready without being bothered by people like me.

Await Further Instructions moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Await Further Instructions, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Williams FW24

Hi, I noticed that if Febuary you added {{pov}} to Williams FW24. Can I ask why? I've just read the article and I think it is neutral, however it hasn't been changed since then so I wonder why you think the article doesn't observe WP:NPOV, I think it would propbaly be best if you responded on the talk page.

I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on 2019 El Paso shooting, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear.

"In police custody" doesn't sound oddly newsy to you?

Does to me, but no huge deal. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:49, August 3, 2019 (UTC)

It's kind of normal around here -- this usage would be less common in the UK, but still understood -- and also provides very slightly more information than "were arrested". I often find myself getting "oddly newsy", because most of the sources I look at are newspapers. Often from many years ago... MPS1992 (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Yeah, it's common. "Law enforcement officials" instead of police, too. But if everyone else jumped off a bridge? Gotta keep our reading and editing separate, to an extent. We're not paid by the word on this side. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:59, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
On another review, I think you are probably right. Thank you to both of you for updating articles regarding recent events, but EDG, please could you follow the sources rather less obediently? MPS1992 (talk) 23:33, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
The next 157 bytes of hollow redundancy are a big deal. Explain. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:51, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
@InedibleHulk: I don't understand why you reverted my edits. You just seem like you are unnecessarily simplifying the article. Have you ever considered editing in Simple English Wikipedia? Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 23:02, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
It's not unnecessary, concise writing is read and parsed quicker than eloquent and winding stuff. Facts stayed the same. Simple Wikipedia cuts the facts. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:12, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
I had no idea you wrote it, so wasn't trying to revert anyone. Just noticed a clunky chunk. Nothing personal. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:15, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
If we're going to get picky, this edit removed facts, but... everything will probably change again in the next few hours. MPS1992 (talk) 23:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
To split hairs, one fact. Does it help anyone to know a hospital spokesperson was involved in relaying the more pertinent transfer info? Doubt it. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:42, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
OK so you want to split hairs about which exact hospital spokespeople said what about what? And meanwhile, I will assume you are behind the curve, and that this EDG person is more up to date? Please all encourage each other when you update articles. MPS1992 (talk) 03:15, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
Not quite what happened. Close enough, maybe. I still think you're both cool enough to keep up the good work here, for what it's worth. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:27, August 4, 2019 (UTC)

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 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited History of the Seattle Seahawks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frank Clark (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.)

Could you please help me with editing?

Hi, I need help with adding entries to a list called the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. I have contacted you because your name was on a list that a Wikipedia administer gave to me. Do you think you could help me out? Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:01, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Davidgoodheart:! I'd be happy to help you with anything you need. What exactly do you need help with? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what list did you see my name on? Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 17:59, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, the first task is that I need is for you to add people from Category:Unsolved murders in Russia to the List of unsolved murders who aren't on the list already.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Await Further Instructions (December 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DGG were:
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 films). 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.
The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and contain sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance—not just a summary of the plot. You may wish to add this content to an existing article, such as Await Further Instructions. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself.
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.

Proposed deletion of Vivo V1

Notice

The article Vivo V1 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

What makes this product (phone) notable? I couldn't find any review in an outlet that seems reliable and not just blog advert or a rewritten press releases. Fails WP:GNG (also similar situation to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vivo V2).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

You may benefit from using RedWarn

Hello, EDG 543! I'm Ed6767, a developer for RedWarn. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to try RedWarn, a new modern and user friendly tool specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by over two hundred other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on RedWarn's talk page at WT:RW. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed talk! 20:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@Ed6767: Wow! This is so easy to use and is a life saver! I have literally been doing a lot of reverting lately and this makes it so much faster and easier. Thank you so much for suggesting it to me! Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 20:52, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
No problem! Glad to hear you enjoy it. Pro tip: if you'd like to save some time when reverting vandalism and warning people, open your RedWarn Preferences and set "on rollback completion" (under the behavior settings) to your prefered option, such as new notice, which will automatically open the warn user dialog. Ed talk! 21:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi EDG 543. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk • work) 04:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020

Consider this a warning that your behavior at User talk:Iiswhoiisbxtch was unacceptable and I came very close to blocking you. Editors have every right to remove warnings from their user talk pages although archiving is preferred. Please study our policy on edit warring and never engage in that behavior again. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:06, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

One of your 3RR reverts was a misuse of the rollback permission you were granted just yesterday. I've put a 1 month expiry date on the permission to allow an evaluation of your use of it over the next month. Cabayi (talk) 17:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
@Cullen328: Thank you for your mercy in not blocking me. I do, now, realize the error of my ways. I thought that the user was trying to hide evidence in the sockpuppet case, and I was completely wrong in what I did. Thank you very much for showing me that I was wrong, I wasn't trying to be malicious, I just thought that I was doing the right thing at the time. If you notice me screwing somehting else up, please don't hesitate to warn me like you did this itme. Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 17:16, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
@Cabayi: Yes, I was wrong with what I was doing. I will be much more careful in the future. But, may I ask, after the month is over, will I need to reapply or anything like that? Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 17:19, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I have made additional comments about your behavior at User talk:Iceinabucket which I hope you will take seriously. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, you'll need to reapply. You can reapply a couple of days before it expires on the 16th if you want to avoid a gap. Cabayi (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
@Cabayi: Thanks for adding the expiry date. I'd have probably revoked the permission immediately after this blatant misuse of the tools, but I think your approach will be better for everyone. Anarchyte (talk • work) 04:37, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
