Help me!
Please help me with... how can we speedily delete an unvalid article?

Arepticous Arepticous (talk) 12:29, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Arepticous. The criteria under which an article can be speedily deleted are laid out here. If the article meets one or more of these criteria, you can add the appropriate tag ( etc.) to the top of the article, after which an administrator will check the article and delete it if the tag is valid. Yunshui 雲 水  13:24, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi - you asked me how to join the counter-vandalism unit over on my talk page recently. Have a read of WP:CVU which will give you a clearer idea of what it entails. Patient Zerotalk 09:26, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Hey there. Just a heads up - while we appreciate your enthusiasm, you may want to take it easy a bit with the talk page messages to editors. They're generally for discussion, questioning, or congratulating people on something specific - like a particular edit or something. Your seem to be vague and without any real purpose, and editors don't generally like that. For instance, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to convey here, but being a "sucker" is generally more of a insult. This one is puzzling as well, as this is a person, not a WP:BOT.

Anyways, please slow down with all that.

If you need help, maybe start looking through things like WP:TUTORIAL, WP:HELPDESK, or WP:ARTICLEWIZARD. These are good areas to get general help on Wikipedia. Thanks. Sergecross73  msg me  15:28, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, please try doing more of a search on whether or not an article already exists when you create articles. You've already created multiple bird list articles that already exist under different names. And when you do make article, you need to use reliable sources to verify the information in them. See WP:REFB on how to do this. Thanks. Sergecross73   msg me  01:17, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Can you tell me that is it possible that we can recreate account with bad words? Or are there a user types called bad word users? If there is please tell me before i delete it. Arepticous (talk) 05:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Welcome back
The block seems to have expired correctly, so you should find that you can edit normally now. If I may offer a suggestion, I would recommend that you begin by working on fairly straightforward content work (Community portal has some good To-do lists you could start with), and get a feel for general editing before taking the plunge into anti-vandalism or page deletion. You're less likely to rub other editors up the wrong way or make mistakes, and you'll be able to develop a good understanding of how Wikipedia works before you start getting involved in the more complex areas. Best of luck. Yunshui 雲 水 13:52, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! You are the nicest person in wikipedia! Arepticous (talk) 13:57, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * To be clear, he probably was not recommending you to jump into article creation either. No offense, but I've seen you create 3 articles now that are nowhere near ready to be articles. For starters, articles need to meet the WP:GNG. That means multiple third party reliable sources. They're also riddled with many very basic typos. Please stop creating these sorts of articles, or you'll likely find yourself blocked again. Sergecross73   msg me  16:57, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Block city wars moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Block city wars, 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 " " 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 follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * In addition, I'll add that this is your final warning on this. This is at least 4 articles you've created that are nowhere near the bare minimum of what is required of an article. I keep warning you of this, and you're not improving, or even responding or communicating on this anymore. This is getting disruptive. Do it again, and you will be blocked again. Sergecross73   msg me  17:27, 24 September 2017
 * Serge i have to tell you that I did read the first article guide. But I have a trouble understanding. can you tell me shortwhat it means. I'm a sri Lankan you know. We don't understand everything the article say.So please make it clear. Arepticous ;-) :-) (Talk) 02:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Let me know what you're confused about. Is it the WP:GNG you don't understand? Sergecross73   msg me  03:23, 25 September 2017 (UTC) Yes. I don't under stand all the WP things.

Blocked again
Rather than giving you the usual template, I thought you deserved a personal explanation for this block. As ever, you can appeal by placing the code  at the bottom of this page, and replacing the your reason here with a reason. For reviewing admins: if you want to unblock, go right ahead; you don't need to check with me first. Arepticous, the reason I've blocked your account is because, in all honesty, you don't seem to be getting it, and you're damaging the encyclopedia. You've gone through the Wikipedia adventure, which is great, but based on your actions since then, you don't seem to have learned anything from it. Creating mainspace articles with no references is not okay, and uploading non-free images (especially when it's clear that you aren't sure about whether you can or not) is technically illegal. I'm concerned that at present you simply don't have the competence to edit here. Perhaps it's a language issue, perhaps it's an age issue, but either way, editing Wikipedia is clearly not a good fit for you at the moment. If you want to be unblocked, you'll need to provide some plans going forward which show how you will avoid causing these sorts of problems in future. Yunshui 雲 水 09:00, 25 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Dear yunshui. I'm not a english expert. Some times i do not understand what anyone is saying. Today i asked what WP things are. I'm waiting for a reply. and I'm still a new comer who arrived on december last year and i don't have time to engage in my hobby (Editing wikipedia) I'm not an active user and i have to study for exams. I only get to go to wikipedia on holidays and i'm still on it. Ever since i started wikipedia i thought that is was a great oppurtunity. I read the policy, but couldn't understand what it meant. I even asked my mom and she said some things i didn't get. But just when i started learning you block me. I was about to deploy the improved block city wars draft. I was just starting to learn how to be a stable user in wikipedia. If ic ount the days i've been online in wikipedia, it would have only been a month or so. I started to understand yesterday and today you stop me. I won't be able to edit from next week because school is starting. PLease give me one more chance. I just started learning. Arepticous &#124; chat with me (talk) 09:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, that's just it - you say you're planning to deploy (I assume you mean "move to mainspace") the Block City Wars draft, but it's still in no way ready; it has no references, gives no indication why it is notable, and doesn't provide any information that isn't directly derived from the game's content. That just goes to show you haven't understood several very fundamental policies. Yunshui 雲 水 09:19, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Dear Yunshui. Thats not it. I recreated the article and now i can't save it because i'm blocked. I applied references and all. You block me so now i can't save the page. I was saving my page when i discovered that i was blocked.Arepticous &#124; have fun chatting (talk) 09:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll tell you what. Since you can still edit this page, post your revised content under a new heading on this page. If it looks as though you've improved it to the point where it could conceivably be a mainspace article, I'll lift the block, as though you'd taken the second chance route to being unblocked. Yunshui 雲 水 09:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

first how do you do that? i couldn't find an article about that. Arepticous chat and party 10:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You simply copy your code for the article below, then make changes. The page at WP:SECONDCHANCE takes you through the process step-by-step, literally telling you exactly what to do. Yunshui 雲 水 10:07, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Block city wars
""Block City wars"" (BCW) is an open world sandbox and action-adventure video game developed by D-game apps and Lora Flora for iOS and android. Block city wars is based on the Roblox game series. Game modes such as Zombie Rush And cops and robbers are based on Roblox. It is also based on the Grand theft auto and Gangstar Vegas. The overview of this video game is to show different games in the Pixel version.

Gameplay.
Block city wars is an Action adventure game where the player has to control a common city gangster. The gangster must take a dangerous journey of assassination and deaths in order to get into the world leader board which is updated daily. This game is structured upon the common gangster game Grand theft auto series. The simulation of the gangster is based on players choice. The movement key is on the left bottom corner. The movements can be controlled only inside the circle and the mid circle inside main circle is the movement detector. It helps us know where we are going and if there are control problems with the key. The Bullet logo is the command button to shoot. The aiming can be controlled by the cross, square or the dot in the center of the screen. The player can create a gear with 5 weapon categories such as Melee, Primary, secondary additional and explosive. The player can choose a weapon from the gear during the game but the gear can only be changed by pausing the game. The currently in use weapon is stated inside a circle North-East to the shoot command. The player can jump by pressing on the button at the right corner with the logo of a arrow pointing up. The jumping ability gets increase according to the boots worn by the player. The gear changing button or the arsenal icon is on the right top corner on the screen. The meter on the middle of the top of the screen is known as the bonus meter. When the player kills or completes a mission the bar gets filled up. The player can complete achievements to get rewards. The cars can be simulated in 3 options such as tilting, Touch pad or arrow keys. The cars must be purchased and alot of them are at different prices and different appearances. The acceleration and the brakes can be controlled by the buttons on the right end of the screen. The cars can only be destroyed by weapons. Car accidents won't occur any damage to the vehicles. The bonus meter can also be filled by car stunts like flying off the ramps. The player can always get extra health by purchasing an armor. Armors such as head wears ,body wears and foot wear gives the character additional health and some bonus features such as stamina. The skins of the gangster can be chosen by the player. The skins can also be exported to minecraft. In the multiplayer modes we can only shoot the red or green (For zombie rush) and help other team mates (Blue color).

Story
A common street boy is called by a mafia boss to a small park near the beach. The street boy follows the orders and goes to the place right on time. When he walks around the park after the arrival he see's a hologram of a man. The man is shouting and waving. And then the street boy run towards him to know what was going on. The mafia boss says to look around and teaches the boy to walk,jump and shoot. After the character simulation trial the mafia boss brings some of his bandits to see if the boy is worth and does good shooting. After killing the men the boy gets to ride a Lamborghini for the trial. The boy rides the car passing the check points and finally finishes. The mafia boss makes him his best man and the boy is now a gangster. Afterwards the player gets to name his/her gangster the mafia boss gives the player a beginners kit and a 15 minute trial of the Newbie armor and a revolver.

 * There's absolutely no need to send proof of your age; your age is largely irrelevant on Wikipedia. We don't care if you're twelve, seventeen or eighty-six, what matters is whether you can edit Wikipedia in accordance with the policies here. Age is sometimes an issue (in that younger editors may not have the maturity needed to edit) but there is no reason 12-year-olds can't edit purely because of how old they are.
 * I'll review the changes you've made above shortly, at a glance I'm not hopeful but I'll at least do you the service of a full review. Yunshui 雲 水 10:33, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

When are you finishing. please tell me.  Arep ticous  talkcontribs 11:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but this really doesn't show a sufficient understanding of Wikipedia. Not a single one of these sources meets Wikipedia's requirements for reliability and independence, nor do they verify most of the information in the article. There is still nothing here beyond a description of the gameplay, which is overly detailed and (while I fully appreciate that you're writing in your second language) not very well-written. The sourcing is the big issue, though; poor writing can be fixed but if there are no reliable sources to support this article, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. I am more than happy for you to request review from another administrator, but my honest advice is that you give Wikipedia a break for a few years and come back when you're older. Yunshui 雲 水 12:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

You know what? I will and I will be starting a better project than this. You just like to bite the new editors. Just because we don't know what to do doesn't mean that we MUST get blocked. I don't think that you are a nice person. Serge is the nicest i met and you are nothing related. I'm just saying that bullying new editors isn't such a nice thing to do.  Arep ticous  talkcontribs 15:27, 25 September 2017 (UTC) One more thing to add. No one warned me about getting blocked if we create a lot of articles.

Wikipedia's standard for articles
Hi Arepticous,

It appears you've been blocked, which I was one step away from doing myself, but in case you're ever unblocked, I'll still respond to your request.

I wrote this essay to explain to new editors as to why their articles keep getting deleted. Please look through it. It's more or less my attempt to further explain the WP:GNG. I use a video game as an example in it, so perhaps you'll find it relateable too.

Please note: If you are unblocked, you really shouldn't be creating articles until you understand the GNG, or you're just going to find yourself blocked again.

Also, please read up on creating rough drafts. When you don't know how to make an appropriate article, or don't have time to complete it, its best to make rough drafts, which can't be deleted on the grounds of being incomplete (unless they're over 6 months old.)

Refimprove tag on Colombo Cricket Club
Hi there!

I noticed you'd placed a refimprove tag on one of the pages I did a pretty extensive rework on a month or two ago (Colombo Cricket Club), and I was wondering what statements exactly you felt needed more/better references. I've done the best I can with the few sources that I could find, but I could try finding some more if you could tell me where exactly the problem lies. - ක - (talk) 16:19, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Unblock
In you have acknowledged the unacceptable behaviours which led to your being blocked, and undertaken not to do likewise again. You have also stated that you were very young at the time of the block. My personal view is that it is totally unreasonable to still be holding silly childish things someone did at the age of 12 against them years later, when they are adult. Heaven knows that when I was in my teens I did some stupid things, and it would be absurd to hold them against me now. I also believe that blocked editors who indicate an apparently sincere acceptance of their past faults and an intention of no doing the same again should be given another chance, on the understanding that if they blow that chance they will be blocked again, with far less likelihood of being unblocked again. I have therefore unblocked your account, to give you another chance. However, very few if any other administrators would have unblocked you under the circumstances, and if you are blocked again I will be very unlikely to unblock you a second time, so please be careful to avoid another block.

 * Thank you so much for understanding. I believe that I can make a difference with the given freedom. On a side note, is it possible for me to start fresh by archiving this talk page? I feel like it's a period of my life that need not define me.  Arep Ticous  talkcontribs 18:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Certainly you can archive it; in fact I would strongly recommend doing so. Usually the best way to archive a talk page is to copy its contents to an archive page, such as User talk:Arepticous/Archive1, and then blank the original page. At one time it was common to just move the existing page to a new title with "Archive" in it, and then let the talk page start up from empty. That method went out of favour years ago, and I wouldn't recommend it at all, because it can make the editing history confusing, but you might like to do it, to get the old editing out of the editing history of your talk page. However, there would still be a record of the page move, so anyone could find the old editing history if they want to, and anyway mostly they wouldn't want to. Anyway, it's up to you how you do it.
