User talk:3125A/Archive 1

Please could you fix your signature
Hi there. Sorry to have to ask you this, but I noticed that your signature is causing layout problems on every page where you sign your posts. Please would you reduce the green padding so that your signature doesn't always end each post you make by starting on a new line? And then ensure that the timestamp is not placed on a further separate line. It is quite confusing to others, as I spotted when you posted at the Teahouse recently, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#What_do_you_do_when_you_are_not_autoconfirmed_and_want_to_make_a_redirect_page? here]. Many thanks, Nick Moyes (talk) 12:38, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 12:41, 27 March 2020 (UTC) (that space?)
 * I'm really sorry, but I can't ruin the green rectangle outside. I really don't want to remove the green padding. If I shrink it, it still happens. You'll just have to get used to it. I'm really sorry. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 12:50, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe I was lying. What about this? 3125ATalk!Contributions! 12:54, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, it's certainly better, thank you. Although I do really like the colours, it might still be perceived as disruptive on the page. You do, of course, still need to include a hyperlink to your talk page per this policy at WP:CUSTOMSIG which states: A customised signature should provide an easily-identified link to your talk page. You are encouraged to also provide a link to your user page. After that, I suggest you leave it as it is for now because it doesn't seem to be breaking up line flow, and see what other feedback you receive from other users and administrators like me. Maybe you won't get any more. I'm not quite sure what conflict there might be between two such custom signatures, one directly beneath the other in a thread. So, if you see they clash and cause line break up, you'll definitely need to work on it a but further. (Maybe you could experiment in your sandbox?) All I'd ask is that, if you do get other requests to size it down a bit, that you do act upon those requests. We recently has a case at WP:ANI where a long-term and constructive editor had been repeatedly told that their signature was problematic, but stubbornly refused to change it. They argued and argued that there was no 'rule' which said they couldn't write it as they did. But the community felt otherwise, and, because of their intransigence, their account was eventually blocked from editing until they fixed it. This is said not to threaten you, but just to highlight that if others feel something is disruptive, then action does get taken. Thank you very much for being considerate and for dealing with this. Happy editing, Nick Moyes (talk) 14:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also I've changed it so it doesn't block text. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 19:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikilinks
Hi, thanks for your correction to The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. The edit that you fixed was made by an IP editor who obviously isn't very experienced at editing Wikipedia but is making the effort to improve an article. It might be more helpful to leave them a message explaining the format for a wikilink than to indirectly criticize them in the edit summary. Sometimes we make mistakes when trying something new, but that's how people learn. Just think about how you would like your mistakes pointed out to you and give others the kind of feedback that you'd like to get, okay? Schazjmd  (talk)  19:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I am apologizing. Okay, will do that. By the way, there is a editor at Piotr Damasiewicz who keeps adding unreferenced sources. Someone help me with that? 3125ATalk!Contributions! 19:41, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I took a look at the article. What you have there is a content dispute, not vandalism. Start a discussion with the editor on their talk page about adding sources for their edits. (Generally, the conversation would take place on the talk page of the article, but you can't ping an IP editor to a talk page discussion and they'll get a notification of edits on their own talk page.)

Sorry I am not totally new but forgot a lot including user name and password. BUT the Auto bio you erased should be edited rather than deleted.
Sorry I am not totally new but forgot a lot including username and password. BUT the Auto bio you erased should be edited rather than deleted. I was hoping the Auto Bio would be added to the wiki on Break Dancing / B-Boying or inserted in the Wiki on Hip-Hop where the first brake-dancing is mentioned. The portion claiming, I WAS LIKELY FIRST, is relevant to that wiki entry. The historical context is also helpful to establishing my credibility. However, it is likely that I should have left out the rest. It was there only to help further establish my credibility as a firsthand account, and that I am a reliable person. It could have been omitted and the point of my having invented break dancing still have been made without it.

Do you want me to try to fix it, or would it be easier for you to just edit it so that possibly I would not need to do it in more than one attempt?

 * Hello, IP. Welcome to Wikipedia. You can fix it. You are a good editor. You can copy-and-paste it by checking the page before I removed the Auto bio and copying-and-pasting. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 22:41, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Martian-2008, 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. serial  # 14:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Big oof. I don't understand why. I am not doing that. I am reverting a vandal who deleted his own talk page messages. if he moved them to a Archive, then I am wrong. But I don't know why you reverted me.

Stop
Stop providing advice on user's talk pages, it's not helpful and you are not versed enough in policy to do so. Stop making edits for jokes and lulz. Stop using Wikipedia as a playground and trying to boost your edit count through edits like this. You need to find a mentor immediately.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * , Bye bye. I am going to quit. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 20:35, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Clearly not. My concerns are directly related to your ability to edit constructively, whether under this account or an IP.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Understand. I will edit as an IP for a while. I will try to edit constructively. (bye) 3125ATalk!Contributions! 20:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * And also, is editing in the sandbox "constructive"? 99.127.27.9 (talk) 21:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Editing in the sandbox is constructive if you are actually using it to make test edits and to learn how Wikipedia markup works as opposed to just mucking about for no reason. Leaving this account to make the same edits as an IP is not the solution when concerns are raised about your edits. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * So if I edit (basically), the concern is if my edits are good. All my edits are made in good faith. 99.127.27.9 (talk) 21:11, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Edits need to be constructive and competent. What do you believe to be the purpose of Wikipedia?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:33, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , The purpose of Wikipedia is to create a free encyclopedia, right? 99.127.27.9 (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * It's not "whitewashing". You are participating in a ongoing edit war. You are the one who has to calm down. Please do not violate the three-revert rule. You may get blocked for doing so. Talk with us on the article's talk page. &thinsp;3125A Talk! Edits!&thinsp; 21:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * The three-revert rule states:


 * An editor must not perform on a —whether involving the same or different material—within a . An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a reverting edit. A series of consecutively saved reverting edits by one user, with no intervening edits by another user, counts as one revert. Violations of the rule often attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period may also be taken as evidence of edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior. &thinsp;3125A Talk!

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!


Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED). We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:


 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
 * The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! PeaBrainC (talk) 19:19, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I am a experienced editor, not new. &thinsp;3125A Talk! Edits!&thinsp;  19:47, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * My apologies, didn’t mean to patronise - it looked like you hadn’t edited many Medical pages so I thought some info about providing references for your edits and what is generally considered a good source for Medical articles might be helpful. My bad. PeaBrainC (talk) 22:07, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Reminder
As a courtesy to other editors, please add your notices under the current date header (i.e. May 2020) - tools such as Twinkle and RedWarn should do this automatically for you. Thanks! Ed6767 (talk) 18:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

About your comment on "Navonedu's unrepentant disruption" in the noticeboard
Hi, thankyou for your message on no.21 in the noticeboard about edits on the page Atif Aslam My concern was that the user शिव साहिल removed the whole section purely because of a few inaccurate references which has since been corrected.How can he remove whole sections with valid references for a few problems in it? Isn't that vandalism? If he has a problem with a particular line and reference, he can discuss or remove it, but what about the rest of it. In the page Sonu Nigam he did the same thing, removing huge valid content without any discussion. He has already been warned in his page about washing pages like that, and it is to me of no confusion that he doesn't read and go through proper references before deleting all of it. Please let me know.Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navonedu (talk • contribs) 23:46, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 June 21
I'm very concerned about your edits to the above-mentioned RfD discussion. Discussions are meant to be used to figure out what to do with a given redirect, they should never be used for "revenge" purposes. Doing so implies bad faith and is disruptive to the consensus-building process. Someone suggesting to keep a redirect that you have nominated for deletion shouldn't in any way be taken personally. If anything, take it as a learning experience to help you gauge the kind of redirects that have broad consensus for inclusion. Plausible differences in pluralizaton is one of those classes of redirects that, broadly speaking, are useful. If you are interested in sticking around RfD, spend some time lurking around RfD and reading the discussions that have taken place to get a better understanding of the types of redirects that are kept and deleted. If you get mad about anything, it should be a clue to log out and do something more calming, because people can be irrational while angry and may do things they may come to regret later. I also want to address your "block me if you want to" response. Nobody ever wants to block anyone, and it's also not something that is done as "punishment" for a bad edit. Blocking is only done as a preventative measure. If, for example, you were to continue to be disruptive to the RfD process with no evidence of ceasing, then a block would be needed to prevent further disruption. Let me know if you'd like any assistance with RfD or redirects in general, I would be happy to help—especially if it'd help diminish potential anger or frustration. Best, -- Tavix ( talk ) 23:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Signature
Hi. Please don't set the width/padding in pixels in your signature (or anywhere, for that matter). The appearance will vary depending on the user's screen size, OS, browser, Wikipedia "skin", custom CSS, etc.. I noticed because, in my environment (17" laptop, 1920x1080, Win10, FireFox, Vector), the green box around your signature is much "taller" than the text within it and "bleeds" over onto the lines above and below it, which is not good. Additional info about custom signatures is at WP:CUSTOMSIG. Thanks in advance. —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 23:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * While I'm here, I just want to add that I disagree that your new signature is better. Due to the unnecessary brackets interrupting your name, it makes it much harder to parse what your username actually is. -- Tavix ( talk ) 23:15, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
