My first time using Wikipedia, trying to figure out how to add Citations
Would you mind giving me a few minutes to figure out the process? In fact, would you be open to helping me add the references with me? I can email them to you and we can split them. There's a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morningstar90 (talk • contribs) 10:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

2014–15 Al Ain FC season
Hey, Why did you add this? http://www.gulf-times.com/pdflinks//PDFs/2014/5/14/Doha%20Stadium_2014_05_14_000000.pdf Sm3a (talk) 18:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the note. I think I had a clipboard error because that file was used on a different article. I fixed this article though. Sorry for the inconvenience.Thanks for letting me know! Looks like the article is shaping up well! ciao!!! Carriearchdale (talk) 18:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hi Carriearchdale, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, as some admins do not give a warning if they become aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, use a manual edit summary instead of using the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to review New admin school/Rollback.

Also, I noticed that you were blocked earlier this year. I think you'll be fine with the rollback tool, hence why I granted it to you, but I would take extra care with it: if you're blocked for breaking 3RR again you could end up with rollback being removed from your account, even if you didn't use it to edit war. Good luck. Acalamari 21:00, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you @Acalamari, I appreciate you setting that for me. I did have that one block several months ago, but that whole incident was well out of character for me, Since then I have been doing my very best to help to improve articles, and the encyclopedia as a whole. If you got a chance to look at some of my contribution list then I hope you saw something good. I will be very careful. Thanks! ciao!!!  Carriearchdale (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Deadbeat parent
hi, i recently had my deletion of some content in the "Deadbeat parent" article reverted by you. for reference, the section i deleted was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deadbeat_parent&oldid=612559577#Opposition_to_the_use_of_the_term

my edit comment at the time was:

"zero citations and lots of loaded language is ample reason to delete"

i feel that this was a good explanation for my action. note that there are, in fact, no citations in the entire section and there are two 'citation needed' entries, both six months old. additionally, the language of the section was full of loaded language: "so-called" debeat parents, "fraught with error", the new jersey legal system "ignoring" wibur's als. there is, to me at least, a strong feeling of bias in the whole section -- and no sources to back it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.53.130.94 (talk) 21:46, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello, It probably would have been a better idea to place a more references needed tag, or a citation needed tag just after the statements that you did not agree with. That would have given other editors an opportunity to find some more references, or citations to verify the statement. Blanking out a whole section is never the best thing to do because the community and editors as a whole would need to come to some sort of consensus to delete parts of, or all of the article. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.  ciao!!!   Carriearchdale (talk) 21:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Thanks for the review of Groundnut pyramids. I know I see a lot of new articles during our Guild of Copy Editors' Drives, so it's nice to know my own articles pass scrutiny. Thanks again!
