Are my current reverts al right.--Deathlaser (talk) 14:13, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not sure which edits you are referring to, but if it is this one where you removed unsourced content/vandalism, I don't see a problem with it. Shearonink (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I made like 20 reverts that never come up on my contribs.Deathlaser (talk) 15:23, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about that. I don't know why they wouldn't show up in your contribs unless you weren't logged in. If you have made reversions and no one has reverted the reverts or brought up any issues with you, it's usually safe to assume they were alright. Ooh Bunnies!

Adoption
Hello Deathlaser! I see that you've put yourself up for adoption – great idea! I'll be happy to adopt you because I enjoy working with others – especially to help them become a better editor on Wikipedia!

Take a look at my edit history; I usually work at Articles for Deletion, Articles for Creation, in new page patrolling, and in vandalism-fighting. I have been an editor on Wikipedia for a year, and have made over 15,000 edits to the encyclopedia.

I'm usually available on Wikipedia from 0:00 - 5:00 and occasionally from 12:00-16:00 (all times UTC). I travel frequently, usually on business trips around the world. I'm so young, yet so busy.

If I adopt you, I promise I will provide you with the most friendly, easy, and convenient adoption service through my adoption school. But if you don't think I am the right adopter for you, that's okay – you have no obligation to accept, and I won't be in the least bit offended if you don't. If you think I am the right adopter for you, please let me know –  then we shall get started! B music  ian  01:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Response
In response to your message at my talk page: No offense taken. However, the only smiley face I can see that I've left recently is the one in the link to my talk page in my signature, and I would rather not get rid of it, personally. Sometimes I use smiley faces as part of the way I communicate online - if that bothers you then I apologise. I like having it there though. I would advise you against telling other people how to communicate, unless they are communicating uncivilly. There's a huge mix of people at Wikipedia, and some of them speak informally even in the most serious of discussions. We just have to muddle along. Regards, Ooh Bunnies!

Speedy deletion nomination of INHOPE


A tag has been placed on INHOPE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Theroadislong (talk) 16:29, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Bmusician's adoption school!
Welcome!

You are now a student at my adoption school. Your official adoption page is located at User:Bmusician/Adoption/Deathlaser.

In your first assignment (which I have already assigned to you) you will learn about the five pillars. Read the lesson carefully. You are required to answer three questions about the lesson at the very end. You must answer two of them correctly in order to move on to the next assignment.

After you've completed all required assignments, you will then take an examination. If you pass the examination, you are permitted to either continue to study at the adoption school, or "graduate" from the school. (We'll talk about that when that time actually comes.) If you fail, however, you must stay at the adoption school until you finally pass an exam. Please note that you may leave the school at any time without graduating, but that means that you won't be awarded the "special barnstar" I give to my graduate students.

That's it; again I welcome you to my adoption school! Please me a message on my talk page if you have any questions regarding the school. B music  ian  00:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, about decorating your talk page - I decorated mine with code used from User talk:Bmusician/talkheader. Cheers, B  music  ian  00:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Australian Green Tree Frog: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. This edit Shearonink (talk) 15:09, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Stiki does not support AGF warnings.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:15, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * a) do it manually if you have to. b) that last revert wasn't reverting a good faith addition. Adding the words "monstrous cockzilla" can't, by any stretch of the imagination, be called "good faith". Please only use GF reverts on actual GF edits, like additions of content intended to be helpful. Thanks. Ooh Bunnies! Leave a message 15:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * So where can I learn whats GF and whats not. Note: a warning was not necessary.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:23, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * al right, time to get Harsh.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * What warning was not necessary? Intended vandalism is recognizable because it is not encyclopedic: random swearing, insults, gibberish, silly jokes. Good faith additions are additions of content that is, for whatever reason (unsourced, non-notable, irrelevant ) unsuitable. Ooh Bunnies! Leave a message 15:30, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I made a mistake. Sorry.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:31, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it. I'm not having a go. Just letting you know. We're all learning, all the time. :)Ooh Bunnies! Leave a message 15:32, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Bit harsh to block me for tiny mistakes on whether something was AGF or not. Anyway, warnings are bad reputation. They really make me panic and jump.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * What? No one is going to block you, and no one even implied such a thing.Ooh Bunnies! Leave a message 15:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Are my recent edits better.-- Deathlaser : Chat  15:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Deathlaser, just thought I should check in and say it looks like you are getting used to the ropes. All of the advice given to you by Shearonik and OohBunnies is good advice, and if you keep at it, it looks like you'll learn well. If you've got any questions about this stuff (rollback, anti-vandalism stuff), feel free to ask your adopter, Bmusician, or ask me or any other experienced user or admin. —Tom Morris (talk) 15:46, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for being late...
but your next assignment is ready here. Best. B music  ian  00:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

New assignment
Dear Deathlaser,

A new adoption assignment has been assigned to you. Please view the assignment on your adoption page and complete it as soon as you can.

Rollback Request
Your rollback request has been granted. Please take a look at New_admin_school/Rollback and Rollback_feature, and use it with care. 山本一郎 (会話) 21:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, I saw that your request is done on the Rollback request page. I also noted that you have done ~250 reverts, but only warned 10 vandals? If you are going to be working in vandalism, you need to be warning every editor that you revert for vandalism. This can help towards getting the vandal blocked, or s/he may even stop vandalising and turn into a faithful editor. Mr Little Irish  (talk) © 11:10, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, County convention


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, County convention. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - County (United States). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at County (United States) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visitthe page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administratoruserfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Ben Ben (talk) 16:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Ysgol Glanwydden
Hi, Deathlaser, i've declined your speedy deletion request on the above article under db-context (A1) because it has enough context to identify the school as a subject of the article. Also, I note that you tagged the article for speedy deletion less than a minute after its creation. it may be a good idea to give editors a chance to add more information or references to articles before you tag them. No every editor has broadband, not every editor is an expert at Wikipedia. Give 'em a chance and they might repay it. I've prodded the article as an unreferenced essay and original research instead. Thanks, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 18:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

"Bad start"
Deathlaser, I've seen your concerns elsewhere on Wikipedia and I just want to reassure you that you haven't had a particularly bad start. You've done plenty of good things such as taking part in the wikification drive above, completed Bmusician's adoption school and been part of some anti-vandalism efforts (such that you are trusted with rollback). It is just your content contributions that could do with some work. The pages you created were all deleted under the importance criteria. My suggestion is that instead of creating new articles, you have a go at expanding articles instead; try to improve an article about something you like so that it meets the B-class criteria (at least). This will help you get a feel for some of the policies around content so that if you do decide to recreate those deleted articles you can ensure that they are at a high enough quality to be kept. If you need any help then you can always ask me, or any of the many other people you've interacted with over the past month. Good luck.--Mrmatiko (talk) 15:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)


 * That's good advice. Wikipedia already has an enormous number of articles, and most are nowhere near B-class. Just roll up your sleeves and get digging in friendly, familiar soil. Something'll grow. And looking at your contributions, I have to agree that yours doesn't seem a particularly bad start; maybe just a steep learning curve? Haploidavey (talk) 19:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Problem is, I know how to insert references and stuff, but I can't find any. So I have setteled for wikifying and vandal reverting.-- Deathlaser : Chat  19:41, 5 May 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want to do some content work, then I'm willing to help you find some sources for whatever you want to work on; however if you are enjoying what you do now and just want to carry on then by all means do so. If there is anything I can do to help you then just ask. --Mrmatiko (talk) 19:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

VandalSniper
Thank you for your recent application to use the counter-vandalism tool.VandalSniper. VandalSniper is a very powerful tool that has the potential to disrupt the encyclopedia if misused, so it requires editors to be regularly active, experienced, and trustworthy. I have considered and declined your application to use the tool at this time. You are welcome to re-apply again after three months, and you may want to visit Counter-Vandalism Unit for links to alternative counter-vandalism tools. Regards, AGK  [•] 13:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Regarding "blockers"
Deathlaser, I know you're a new user and most earnestly want to help out on the project. I also perceive that you would like to be an administrator, but realize that in light of your self-described "bad start," it is unlikely you would pass RFA for the foreseeable future. However, you believe that if some position with a lower threshold for approval were created, you could obtain that position and the resulting community approval you perceive as coming with adminship. Ignoring for a moment the assumption that adminship equals community respect, these sorts of proposals have been floated by dozens of users in similar positions as yourself over the years. We know you want to help, we know you want userrights, but we can't compromise the stability of the project to do that. If anything, proposals such as the "blockers" proposal will only hurt your odds of obtaining userrights as people will doubt your judgment and maturity. Please reconsider your continued efforts in that area.  MBisanz  talk 16:39, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * So, even in 6 months time, I have no chances at Rfa.-- Deathlaser : Chat  19:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Obviously anything can happen in six months on this project and different people have different opinions, but I would put the minimum time to a realistic chance at RFA at a year for you.  MBisanz  talk 23:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Dont let your spirits down. Keep faith in your editing like the way we WP:AGF (never be down). Always edit in the way you like (without violating the policies and coming into battle ground situations) and you'll never realize that you are ready for it. If you are thinking for RfA now, take 8-10 months from now to prepare for it. You've done great work for wikification by coming 10th inspite of being a new comer. I was extremly impressed by that as you got more then 125 articles done. I was going to award you for that but somehow forgot (I saw your message on my friend, Nolelover's tp. Hes little bit reserved and more busy in real life now).
 * Start taking part in AfDs, patrol recent pages (especially IPs patrol page. A lot of vandals are out there, most are there. Better scope is there), sometimes also do CSDs with wise tags and participate in RfAs (Avoid conflicts there. I dont have to tell this as you are already there but just told)
 * Some say that adminship is no big deal but in fact it is. I m also not sure that the people who say that, actually believe in that. It is not big deal that only few can get there but still little big. An editor like you if continues this tempo by always being positive and avoiding conflicts can easily become an admin and also a very good admin.
 * I close here for now and wait, you have a barnstar below this. :)  Yash  t  101   06:36, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Copy editing
Hi there. I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about helping the project, but before you attempt any more copy editing of articles for the WP:GOCE backlog elimination drive, I suggest you read WP:COPYEDIT and get familiar with WP:MOS. Copy editing can be an extremely complex process, on occasion, and care needs to be taken to ensure that changes made are accurate. Cheers. —Torchiest talkedits 17:21, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I came here to say the same thing. Your copy edits for the drive were not of acceptable quality and unfortunately have had to be reverted. For example, "center" is not a mis-spelling, but the American spelling; "centre" is the British one. We don't change an article from one national variant of English to another. You may find that WP activities other than copy editing are more up your street. Best wishes, --Stfg (talk) 10:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Nobody is saying they aren't, but please learn how to format and categorize properly, you are causing problems.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:45, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please take a look at this diff. Things to do. First, add a taxobox at the start. For the Mordellistena &mdash; articles, you can use the same one. Second, in the text, state what genus, family and superfamily they are in. Again, for the Mordellistena &mdash; articles, they are the same. Fourth, it was not 'founded' by someone, it was discovered by someone &mdash; seperate sentance. Fifth, add   before the  . Sixth, put   at the bottom of the article. Finally, put Category:Animals described in ABCD (with year) at the bottom of it. Hope that helps! --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 12:47, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * There is a lot more wrong with your stubs I'm afraid. Please look at Aridaeus thoracicus for instance. You should add the "species", "binomial" and "binomial_authority" parameters to you taxobox and lose the genus authority (since your article is about a species and not the genus). Furthermore, the name of the species in the first line of text should be bold and italic. And please, could you at least add some info about the species to the article? The bare minimum would be the distribution (where does this species live?) Ruigeroeland (talk) 15:09, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Incomplete Rename template
Thanks for helping by nominating file renames. Please see Template:Rename media and complete your rename requests with new name and reason as per wp:FMV, regards--  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  17:26, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Thats an important part, as doing it will tell the nominator if the rename request is really necessary. If the nominator cannot to find a better name and a proper reason as mentioned at wp:FMV then it would be a waste of time for both the rename nominator as well as file mover. If the file rename request is inappropriate or fails to justify with a proper reasoning, then the File mover will simply remove the rename templates without renaming. regards--  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  18:01, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Dealing with your WikiStress
Your contributions, especially the anti-vandalism ones, have been appreciated. If decide that you want to return at some point, or if you just can't stay away, I have a few suggestions that you may find helpful for reducing your stress levels.

The first is to stick with something that you enjoy; I see that you originally came here because you wanted to help fight vandalism, maybe spending most of your on-Wikipedia time doing recent change patrolling would help reduce your stress levels. (Sounds a bit counterproductive to me, but you might enjoy it)

My second suggestion is to slow down; your biggest cause of wikistress is likely to come from rushing to experience everything. I know how fun it is to try lots of new and interesting things, but there really is no rush; I've been actively editing for just over a year now and I'm still finding different things to do. The key to getting the most out of Wikipedia is to take your time with new things and to savour the experience.

The final thing is to learn how to handle criticism; I get the impression that you take criticism too personally. Being able to use constructive criticism and discard useless insults is an important skill that would serve you well. If someone points out a mistake you have made, then take their suggestions and remember them; there is no need to keep apologising to people, just a quick "thanks for letting me know" is all that is required.

I appreciate this is quite long so to summarise: Only do things you enjoy, relax (there's no rush) and don't let criticism get you down.

Hopefully we'll see you back here when you feel able to contribute again. --Mrmatiko (talk) 17:52, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Most people, I noticed in their first 2 months thier edit count is very very low. I want a higher tempo.

Note:How exactly is Tide gates not notable.-- Deathlaser : Chat  18:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Remember that quality is more important than quantity; your edit count isn't relevant to your skill as an editor.
 * As for tide gates, I've looked at the article you created and I think you could have made more use of the fifth source. A 10 page research paper which has quite a bit of information about tide gates is definitely a source to use multiple times. Dictionary sources tend not to be very helpful on Wikipedia, they may be more useful at Wiktionary. As it is not about any of the specific categories of subject under the importance criteria the article can't be nominated for speedy deletion for that reason but you should have a go at expanding the article a bit more. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:18, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

your file rename request
you have proposed File:Kaw.jpg to be renamed as File:Kaw 2.jpg, this is incorrect, as the shadow KAW on commons is on a completely different topic so adding a 2 does not harmonize these images, a more appropriate name will be the full name of the person in this case Knut Agathon Wallenberg --  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  18:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Word choice
This is trivial, but you might like to know it: When you say that you support something "per nom", you're saying that you agree with the nominator. When you are the nominator, you want to say that you support it "as nom". Otherwise some people are going to wonder who it was that made the original suggestion.

Autopatrolled
Hi there, Deathlaser. I'm afraid I have had to remove the autopatroller right from your account. Many of your recently created articles have faults with references, links or grammar/spelling, which a few users have noticed. I probably shouldn't have granted the right in the first place - I apologise for the inconvenience this will cause. I'd encourage you to continue your content creation work, and try to look at some of the issues that have been picked up. If you have any questions, please let me know.

My Clean start
Did not go so well.-- Deathlaser : Chat  18:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Cleanstart
Hey there. I wanted to talk to you about your cleanstart. As a cleanstart account myself, I figured I'd give you some pointers.

First, take some time off between retiring from the old account and creating the new one. I recommend six months. I took well over half a year off, although I know people who have waited only three months or so, so really, it's up to you. The reason that this is suggested is that it a) allows you to cool off from any disputes, and b) you don't get caught immediately in the cleanstart.

Second, don't work in the new account in the same place you worked before you retired. This prevents all sorts of ethical issues, and again, it prevents you from getting caught immediately.

Third, once you do come back, shoot an email off to ArbCom. This protects you from being called a sockpuppet if people link the accounts later. You might also consider telling Tiptoey and MuZemike, the two most active CUs, again by email. They're both trustworthy.

If you don't think you can do any of those three things, a cleanstart might not be for you. Consider the virtues of apologizing for whatever you've done wrong and working on improving. Most of us are pretty forgiving, and apologizes (genuine, unforced ones) are so rare that they're still cherished around here.

Cheers, and good luck,  S ven M anguard   Wha?  18:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I still think a cleanstart is not necessary, and I don't understand why Deathlaser is continuing to pursue the idea. Lady  of  Shalott  18:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * By the way DeathLaser, my last "screw up" was just the other day and DGG rightfully called me out.  Even admins make mistakes.  We probably make more than many non-admins.  But I tried to address my mistake in the exact same way I recommended to you, with a little humility and an attempt to make it right.   I will make more mistakes, of this I'm sure.  Respect is earned by both your deeds, and the way you handle your mistakes.  My advice is to embrace your mistakes, learn from them, and become a stronger person.  I certainly can respect someone that does that.   Dennis Brown  -  2&cent;   &copy;  19:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Let me know if you find any bugs; we know it's a bit odd in Monobook, but that should be fixed in our deployment this week.
 * On Thursday, 7th June we'll be holding an office hours session at 20:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. We'll be discussing all the latest developments, as well as what's coming up next; hope to see you all there!
 * Those of you who hand-coded feedback; I believe I contacted you all about t-shirts. If I didn't, drop me a line and I'll get it sorted out :).
