Hi RileyBugz! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like I JethroBT (talk).
I want to reference something for a Supreme Court decision, in the infobox for them, but I am unsure whether I should put the reference on "ArgueDateA" or "ArgueDateB". Does it even matter?
This question is posted on the Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions page.RileyBugz (talk) 21:51, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Riley! I saw your question and thought I'd try to help. What page are you looking to edit? What citation are you looking to add to the info box? You don't necessarily need it in either ArgueA or Argue B, you could simply add the in-line citation right after the text in the info box. Point me in the direction of the page you are working on and I will take a look at it. Cheers! ComatmebroUser talk:Comatmebro00:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
I want to edit the article Norwood v. Harrison, and I want to add this citation: <ref>{{cite web|title=Norwood v. Harrison :: 413 U.S. 455 (1973) :: Justia U.S. Supreme Court Center|url=https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/413/455/|access-date=November 5, 2016}}</ref>. I want to put it, specifically, where it says argued, decided, and probably a few other places.RileyBugz (talk) 00:20, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm not totally sure what you meant in your email, but I've added a referenced etymology for the binomial name. I looked at oed.com for an earliest date for the English name, but no entry for "mangrove swallow". Jimfbleak - talk to me?06:47, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
What I meant was why is the common name of the mangrove swallow "mangrove swallow". I assume it's because they were first spotted nesting in a mangrove tree, but I don't know.RileyBugz (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
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.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nigel Cleere until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TheCrazedBeast (talk) 15:04, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Reference errors on 4 December
Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Hi, I won't review your article at FA because I've been involved already with it. A few comments looking forward to FAC, although some might be raised at GAN. It generally looks pretty good, so the following are suggestions rather than criticisms
You might have to explain why Birdfellows is a high-quality source. Personally I'd replace it
Have you checked for predators and parasites? You probably won't find anything for a central American species, but worth a Google
At FAC, it's standard to not link countries and continents, not sure at GA, so leave for now unless it's raised there
If you want to write the breeding area in millions (your choice) the format is in the Status section of water pipit
I assume you use WikiEd (in Preferences- gadgets if you don't), but you may want to add some scripts. The duplinks script is a painless check for overlinking
I'll look to see if I have any other sources that might be useful to you
Thanks! I have now gotten rid of Birdfellows (I found what it was sourcing in other sources I had), I checked for predators and parasites and added a section about that (not much is known, but there is still some info), and I fixed the sources. I don't know how to run a script for WikiEd, but I already use it. I did fix the problem with 3 links to cornell, so now there is only one. It does drop it down to 14 sources though, including one I found for parasites. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help with this. RileyBugzYell at me | Edits16:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
I see you submitted Jangid Brahmin for deletion, but please note I wrote an actual decent article for that space, and the bad article you saw there is just something that an inexperienced editor is repeatedly pasting on top of my good article. Please instead revert their edits to my sourced version rather than delete. MatthewVanitas (talk) 03:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello RileyBugz. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Giordan Gosling. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Hello RileyBugz, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Mahatma Ramchandra, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers01:17, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Hasty patrolling
Further to my comment about WP:BEFORE at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saman Halgamuge, I notice you nominated the article a mere nine minutes after it was created, which you were warned was inappropriate just yesterday. We all mistakes but new page patrol—both our only firewall against unwanted content and our first and usually only chance to welcome new editors—is a very sensitive task and that amplifies them a great deal. Please try to slow down and be a bit more cautious until you have more editing and patrolling under your belt. Personally I like to patrol from the bottom of the queue to make sure I'm not stepping on toes. – Joe (talk) 02:48, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Ok thank you! I think that I will go back to mainly adding content, and occasionally patrolling the page. When I do, I will, as you suggested, slow down and do my research. I will also probably just patrol articles that are created later. Thanks! RileyBugzYell at me | Edits02:58, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Help me
The unregistered user deleting my sourced edit on Looney Tunes: Back in Action has been harassing me using multiple IP's for several weeks now, and I'm sick of it! This is because of an edit dispute we had a few weeks ago on the Jeff Bergman article. I'm really tired of this harassment, and I was wondering if there was anything you could do to stop this.
Well, there is the possibility of a range block. If you could provide me with some of the IPs of the unregistered user in question, and most of the IP is the same, then it is possibly that a range block could be done. I am really inexperienced though, but I will try my best. For now, you could warn them with Twinkle (with the appropriate category). You could also get an admin to try and help you. RileyBugzYell at me | Edits00:23, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Welcome. I told an admin also, so yeah. Also, you should use colons to indent your message. I put indents on your most recent message, but just add one more colon than the user you are replying to has. From there, I don't really know what to do. RileyBugzYell at me | Edits02:25, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
It is now semi-protected. Also, the admin I contacted told me that it would be helpful if you provided edit summaries, which is something that is pretty helpful. You can basically tell what they did at a glance, and people that do not provide summaries are suspicious. Thanks for contacting me to resolve this, it is never good to try and resolve things like this with edit warring. RileyBugzYell at me | Edits16:44, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
