User talk:D97931478

September 2021
Hello, I'm 94rain. An edit you recently made to Steinlen (horse) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 94rain Talk  17:26, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Burrunan dolphin, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Politanvm talk 18:29, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi @D97931478, please note that you don’t need to save every time you add or remove a comma. You can make multiple changes within one edit. Saving every time creates unnecessary clutter in an article’s revisions. Politanvm talk 18:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Novel virus, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Politanvm talk 18:53, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Editing. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox.

 * I thought awarded was a good replacement for given, as something bestowed as opposed to given, as in given away.D97931478 (talk)

Response to previous Posts

 * Apologies for any unwanted edits or mistakes as I move from testing to genuine corrections. I am mostly correcting punctuation, occasionally substituting words if a better alternative is available, and minor restructuring where a more concise phrasing is a natural progression.D97931478 (talk)
 * That’s fine, but please don’t press “Publish changes” until you’ve finished. Many edits in a row that change only one letter at a time are indistinguishable from vandalism. Politanvm talk 19:09, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Like the good old days when computers worked. I find it prevents mistakes, and reduces errors that are easier to correct, than it creates. I appreciate your point of view but once the edit is completed surely the validity of the edit is what is important and clearly it is work not vandalism.D97931478 (talk)


 * I’m not following how saving one character at a time helps avoid mistakes, but please keep in mind that Wikipedia is a community of contributors, and it’s important that your edits are comprehensible to others. If you’re editing one character at a time, it is difficult for others to see the whole change, you aren’t able to add an edit summary, and it clutters the revision history. Please try to use the Preview button to avoid publishing mistakes. Also, I’m glad to see you’re experimenting with page moves in your own user space. Please be careful not to accidentally move a user page out of user space (i.e., pages starting with “User:D97931478/“). You had moved your sandbox to “Template” space, and it will need to be deleted by an admin. Also, please indent and sign your talk page comments. See Help:Talk pages.

Page move
How do I go about moving a page back to the original location and deleting the redirects.

I moved a page, Wynyard railway station, and it mostly redirected automatically but left a messy second redirect and I’m not sure what to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D97931478 (talk • contribs)


 * Hi, do you mean that you moved the sentence case “Wynyard railway station” to all-caps “Wynyard Railway Station” but that it should be moved back to the sentence case? If that’s the case, I can help – page moves can be tricky. Politanvm talk 20:23, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I moved it to all Caps, but it might need reverted, not sure. Might be regional. Could you walk me through the process? D97931478 (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * What do I do about sandbox redirects, there doesn’t seem to be an option to delete them. Does it matter or should I blank them or just forget about them? Do they eventually just delete themselves?D97931478 (talk) 21:00, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I’ve just moved the article back to the sentence-case title. For complicated or technical moves, it’s probably best to just ask for help.
 * For your sandboxes, what you do is up to you. If you want to delete them, just add to the top of the page. You can read more about deleting your own user pages here: WP:U1 Politanvm  talk 21:12, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Lead sentences
In regard to your edit on Alan Turing, please see WP:CONTEXTBIO. Neither ethnicity nor sexuality are considered relevant to the lead sentence and should not be added. Skyerise (talk) 12:42, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies if I caused any upset or offended anyone including the Estate of the late Alan Turing, no ill will was intended. In this case I believed my edit was particularly relevant in the lead as significant to the persons notability and within the editing guidelines. D97931478 (talk)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Snowycats, and I thank you for your contributions.

You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion] but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Indefinite block
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. El_C 13:43, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * There were substantial procedural errors in the deletion discussion — this from the user who posted an unsigned uw-delete4 warning on my talk page (diff). I'd submit that, at the very least, their grasp of "procedure" falls well short of what is expected. El_C 14:46, 12 October 2021 (UTC) D97931478 (talk)


 * And blocking a user without giving a good reason based on fabricated evidence and lies is ok is it, and not vandalism. Behaviour like that deserves a warning, apologies for not signing but I am new to the ropes. D97931478 (talk)


 * The reason is WP:DE. The procedure to challenge deletion closures is WP:DRV. I neither "lied" nor "fabricated evidence." Making such unfounded claims, will greatly reduce the chances that your unblock request will be granted. A better chance would entail reviewing WP:GAB. Though, as a seemingly single-purpose account (who also seemed to have WP:GAME'd their confirmed status), I'm not sure if you'd be genuinely interested in pursuing that. So I suppose it'd be more Dunning–Kruger'ing about "procedure" and general WP:ASPERSIONS. Oh well. El_C 15:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

RE declined request. I was blocked without due process to prevent me asserting my right to a deletion review. How am I expected to proceed without evading the block against me and ending my editing career in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D97931478 (talk • contribs)

By not doing it (WP:BE). By not being disruptive even while blocked (WP:DE). By not violating "procedure" even as you complain about proper procedure (WP:TE) — like by undoing the declined action of the admin reviewing your unblock request (which is strictly prohibited and expressly noted as such in the above template). A little self-awareness, please. Anyway, talk page access revoked. See below for your appeal options.

 Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive. ([ block log] • [ active blocks] • [ global blocks] • [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/autoblock/?user=&project=en.wikipedia.org autoblocks] • contribs • deleted contribs • [ abuse filter log] • [ creation log] • change block settings • [ unblock] • [ checkuser] ([ log]) )

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice. El_C 15:19, 12 October 2021 (UTC) - For proper record keeping:


 * User undoes the reviewing admin's decline of the unblock request (no edit summary) — 11:01, 12 October 2021.
 * Unsigned comment that threatens block evasion — 11:07, 12 October 2021.
 * Adds some nonsense about "threat of life" [etc.] which I did not retain — 11:13, 12 October 2021.

I think we're done here. El_C 15:26, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
