A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Cocohead781. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction

Again, welcome! TonyBallioni (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Teahouse
Hi. Just wanted to let you know I reverted your closure of a thread at Teahouse. With a very very few exceptions, we don't close threads at Teahouse. The only time we do it is when it's purely disruption, and that is best left to the handful of admin that hang out at the Teahouse. The idea I think is to leave it open for further questions from the OP and for further explanation by other hosts. Where some may understand what I say quite well, others may understand someone else's explanation better. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 05:21, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

How do I submit an essay?
 * For now I've moved it to User:Cocohead781/Attacking yourself. To me it seems a personal essay, using the first person, so your userspace is the appropriate place. Compare WP:USERESSAY. Huon (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

October 2017
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Sterling Ranch, Colorado. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Review of BMT Fourth Avenue Line
Hi, I see you recently reviewed BMT Fourth Avenue Line and it appeared to be your first review. My only concern is that it seemed to have taken you only 20mins to review then pass immediately, which does concern me. Can you be sure all spelling and grammar is correct, and that you have checked the prose written against every reference to ensure it matches up? Even for an experienced reviewer, it would often take them a fair bit longer on an article of that size, with 80+ references.. certainly alot more than 20 minutes. The very quick turnaround concerns me, as there have been instances before where reviews have been reverted if it's apparent the undertaking was not done thouroughly. As its your first one, you may opt for get a second opinion to ensure your assessment fits with the view of others. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:27, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-50
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:  instead of  . This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work.
 * A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist.
 * If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article.
 * Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "" link is now more prominent.
 * Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You can discuss new or improved blocking tools with the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team. They will work on building better blocking tools. Leave comments on the talk page.

Tech News: 2017-51
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News
 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.

Problems
 * When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited.
 * Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
 * The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
 * The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

A message from Shane Manning
Hi,

You replied to my request to have access to edit the Wikipedia page on Michael McCormack MP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McCormack_(Australian_politician)).

You asked me to provide sources to the changes so that the page could be edited.

I've linked a number of sources below, some web pages directly from the Australian Government website as well as a number of news articles from various publications within Australia.

https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=219646

https://www.pm.gov.au/hon-michael-mccormack-mp

https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/minister/mccormack

https://www.michaelmccormack.com.au/

http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/5131214/mccormack-named-veterans-affairs-minister-in-government-reshuffle/

I hope these satisfy what is required to be granted access to change Minister McCormack's page.

Thanks,

Shane

A message from Simonneed
Hi... I'm Lord Clement-Jones' PA... hence I updated his page with his current information.

Simonneed (talk) 19:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC) --Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! The problem with your edit is that you are employed by Lord Clement-Jones. I implore you to read WP:COI before editing again. Again, welcome! Cocohead781 (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Why do you want to leave information on there that is INCORRECT??

Simonneed (talk) 19:07, 23 May 2018 (UTC) Of course incorrect information is frowned upon. The best way to edit the page (or any page with a COI) is to file a edit request on the article's talk page. You can find the talk page link on the top of the article. Cocohead781 (talk) 19:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

At least change his son's name.... his son isn't called Richard - it's Harry. And if you type House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence into Google, you'll find plenty of up to date information on Tim if you do want to take any of my correct edits on board. This short interlude has made me realise that Wikipedia, like many say, is not up to date or based on fact.

Simonneed (talk) 19:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC) It does sound like you have something to add to the English Wikipedia. The wiki only updates when allowed by all of it's policies, and a COI editor can do some really nasty things, so the community as a whole has decided that COI editing should not be allowed. In it's place, a edit request can be posted, requesting that the article be edited. The only requirements for starting an edit request is a summary of changes and a Reliable Source. After that, an editor will come by and make your change you requested on the article, granted he accepts it. If you need help starting a edit request, I am always here to help you.
