Welcome!
Hi, Dinglebat500. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. Noyster (talk),  12:54, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

April 2017
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, some changes are controversial and should be discussed with other editors before being made. At least one of your edits appears to have gone against established consensus and has been reverted. Please check the article's talk page for discussion about this topic with other editors. If you wish, you can open or continue the discussion there to help establish consensus for your edits. Be sure to check the welcome page to learn more about how Wikipedia operates, and feel free to ask any questions. Thank you. Ibadibam (talk) 17:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Virgin Islands Creole. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 21:24, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Undiscussed page moves
Db500, I've reveiwed and reverted most of the page moves that you've made in the past few weeks. All of the pages I reverted were already at the most common name for their topics, as far as I could tell. Please read Article titles carefully, and be sure that you cite specific reasons according to the guidelines for any page moves that you make. It would probably be helpful if you would propose a change to an article's title on its talk page first, and get a clear consensus to move the article, at least until you gain a little more experience with Wikipedia's article naming conventions. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 21:36, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Contiguous United States, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Adding, removing or altering the content of an article is almost never a minor edit.

Speedy deletion nomination of Geordie Haka


A tag has been placed on Geordie Haka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. TheDragonFire (talk) 10:15, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

My user talk page
I understand what the post you are trying to remove is, but I prefer to leave my user talk page generally intact. It's also considered improper to remove posts from other people's user talk pages. See WP:USERTALK. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with getting to know Wikipedia. I am a fairly new Wikipedian and I need a tad of help. Thanks, Dinglebat500 (talk page) (talk) 11:40, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What do you want to do, exactly? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:37, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm struggling to know what to do and what not to do. Also, I think I need some help with creating articles.
 * I suggest reading Your first article to start with. But might be better to start by improving some existing articles. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey Dinglebat, try looking at WP:CONSENSUS and WP:Bold, revert, discuss cycle to get a better sense of the Wikipedia editing process. Ibadibam (talk) 16:49, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Geordie Haka, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 13:22, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Request for adminship
Hi Netsnipe, I've been trying to find vandalism on Wikipedia, in the hopes I might be granted adminship. But I can't find any, so this message is a request for adminship. Thanks, Dinglebat500 (talk page) (talk) 13:59, 4 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Dinglebat500, you'll need to go through Requests_for_adminship instead of approaching an administrator directly. If you can't find any vandalism, you're not looking hard enough. Try installing one of the tools listed at Cleaning_up_vandalism/Tools to gain access to the live edit feed. Thanks for expressing interest and good luck! --  Netsnipe  ►  04:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Dinglebat, given your short history on Wikipedia and your mixed record of constructive contributions, seeking adminship would be highly premature. I suggest you focus on becoming a great editor first, and see if you still want to be an admin after a year or two. Ibadibam (talk) 04:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Undiscussed page move of Shamli district
Dinglebat500, I see that you've moved another article without getting a consensus through discussion first. You moved Shamli district to Shamli District without giving a valid reason. From looking at List of districts of Uttar Pradesh, all the district articles in Uttar Pradesh state appear to use the uncapitalized form "district". The community has given you some leeway because you're new to Wikipedia, but you need to stop making undiscussed moves. If you believe an article has the wrong title, for whatever reason, please discuss it on that article's talk page first. If a consensus is reached that a new name is needed, then the article can be moved. If you aren't able to control yourself, then other means may need to be applied, such as blocking your account from editing Wikipedia. - BilCat (talk) 08:29, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't have anything to do with Cibon88. I'm on a shared computer, and some person just created it for vandalism-only reasons. I have nothing to do with it whatsoever.

Speedy deletion nomination of Percy Main Cricket Club
Hello Dinglebat500,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Percy Main Cricket Club for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Thieves' cant, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 21:53, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Cold War II
Hello. I reverted your insertion of the speedy deletion tag. You can read this: Articles for deletion/Cold War II. Nevertheless, the article was way different from what it is now. --George Ho (talk) 08:31, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia obviously thinks I'm Cibon88, a blocked account of which I have no relationship with. It's always giving me that blocked account message whenever I try to edit a page, and I don't see any reason for it. Dinglebat500 (talk page) (talk) 12:59, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The reason is that Cibon88 is using the same IP address as you. --Yamla (talk) 13:35, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * He was blocked indefinetly, so can you please unblock him so that I can edit again.
 * No, absolutely not. That would be totally inappropriate given his edits. --Yamla (talk) 16:13, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure he only made 1 edit, and he probably just didn't know any better since he was a newbie. You know what they say, don't bite the newbies.
 * He attempted significantly more vandalism than that, but those were blocked. And no good faith editor would have attempted those sorts of edits. If he wants to be unblocked, he's free to request an unblock. You cannot request one on his behalf. It's very likely any such request would be declined at this time, though. That editor clearly needs to mature substantially before he could be trusted to be a constructive contributor to the Wikipedia. --Yamla (talk) 16:23, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, you've gotta do something. I'm a very constructive editor (I hope) and I don't see why I should be blocked for something that wasn't even me. Dinglebat500 (talk page) (talk) 16:27, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

More information about page moves
I want to give you some more information about how most people on Wikipedia expect moves to work. This information comes from the page Requested moves, specifically the section #Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. (You will see that another editor,, has now followed these steps for the article you tried to move at Talk:St Mary's Island (Tyne and Wear). They are trying to help you get this page moved.) Here is how to request a move, step-by-step: I hope you will try this method! I think you will find it is a more successful approach than performing the moves by yourself, and the other users who participate in the discussion will help you become an expert in Wikipedia guidelines. Ibadibam (talk) 17:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Open the talk page for the article you wish to have moved. For example, Talk:Spike Island (Cheshire).
 * 2) Click "New section" at the top right of the page.
 * 3) Don't bother filling in a title for the section (our next steps will do it automatically).
 * 4) Paste this template code into the edit box:
 * 5) Replace the template parameters with details about the move request. Be sure to include at least one reference to a Wikipedia policy or guideline. For example:
 * 6) Don't bother signing . The requested move template does this automatically for you.
 * 7) Save changes.
 * 8) Other editors will have at least seven days to comment on your request. Their comments will usually be in the form of a "not-vote" – a brief statement of their opinion with a recommendation of *Support or *Oppose.
 * 9) As the requester, you are welcome to reply to their comments and/or leave a *Comment as nominator.
 * 10) In most cases, a neutral administrator will close the discussion when a consensus has been reached. If the consensus from the discussion is for a move, the closing administrator will perform the move.

 * Actually you can be WP:BOLD first when you think a move is obvious, and it should only be reverted by someone who knows what the rules are, or at least has an opinion about what they should be. Siuenti (씨유엔티) 18:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * With respect,, Dinglebat500 is still learning the ropes, and has accidentally done some disruptive edits and moves, so it would be better for them to learn consensus-based approaches, like requested moves. Ibadibam (talk) 00:41, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * you're starting to get the hang of it, but the example I gave you above is a bad one. Read Talk:St Mary's Island (Tyne and Wear) to read other editors explaining how natural features, such as islands, usually use brackets instead of commas. Ibadibam (talk) 08:17, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

"Haitian Standard French"
Hello, your recent move from Haitian French has been overturned. This is a nonexistent term when describing "Haitian French"; unlike the standard Haitian "Creole". This move was swiftly overturned by editors. "Standard French" is taught in school as well as spoken in Haiti. A variety while spoken is not officially standardized to be able to bare such a title. There are no sources to provide evidence for this bold claim. rule of thumb, if you think a move might be controversial, please consult the talk page first. Thanks.
