Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more, Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly, Tutorial is more in-depth, and Topical index is exhaustive. The following links might also come in handy: Glossary FAQ Help Manual of Style Five Pillars of Wikipedia Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English and Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildas like this: ~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Help desk.

Join WikiProject Koei Warriors Games!
Would you like to join the Koei Warriors Games WikiProject? It is everything Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Warriors Orochi! To participate, add your name to the list of participants and apply   to your user page.

If you are not sure what a WikiProject is, it is a club of Wikipedians interested in the WikiProject's subject and helping to improve articles of or related to that subject. I saw you greatly contributed to the Samurai Warriors article, so I figured I'd ask if you wanted to participate in Wikiproject/Koei Warriors Games. You do not have to, and neither are you obliged; I am just asking. -Blue Caper  (talk) 00:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Request
Can I request that, if you want to take issue with an editor's behaviour that, as well as pinging other editors, that you also either directly contact or ping the editor concerned. Notification had to be provided by another editor. GregKaye 09:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming this is in reference to Wikipedia talk:Requested moves? Firstly, I must take objection to the statement that I "ping[ed] other editors". I made three pings in that conversation, two of which were to you, and the third was in the most recent of the five comments I made, well after you joined the conversation. Secondly, I was not attempting to start a discussion of anyone's behaviour, I was attempting to place a request to revert undiscussed moves. The main RM page has a space, under the subheading "Requesting technical moves" for "Requests to revert undiscussed moves". Had there only been a few moves in question, I would have filled out the appropriate template and listed them there, and an admin would have moved them, or not moved them and converted them to RM discussions. Either way would not involve pinging anyone or a discussion of anyone's behavior. I left a note on the talk page instead because filling out the same template one at a time for hundreds of articles would have been an incredibly tedious undertaking, and I was hoping that admins had access to an automated process that could do the reverts much more easily if they agreed my request had merit. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:32, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I note, even following a request regarding pinging, that you don't ping with your reply.  [Wikipedia_talk:Requested_moves#Request_to_revert_a_whole_bunch_of_undiscussed_moves The thread] that you raised is exactly as I described and it was only after I had been made aware of the content that you started pinging me.  Your selective pings have appeared in threads found here.  here and here.. This after you made no contact with me when raising complaint.

I repeat:
 * "Can I request that, if you want to take issue with an editor's behaviour that, as well as pinging other editors, that you also either directly contact or ping the editor concerned." Is this unfair?
 * In my recent extension of the first thread I have raised other issues with, what I contested to be, your misrepresentations here, none of which you have replied to.
 * You have fairly called me to account in regard to some of my earlier behaviours and your corrections have been appreciated. You present "undiscussed moves" when almost all the moves made had made reference to that first supportive discussion (as the immediately following editor also pointed out), you say that I am starting a fourth discussion when what I was doing was continuing the first of the three discussions that I had started, when you present "that this is simply a religious issue and nothing more" when there are clearly a very wide range of cultural connections to the divinities mentioned.  Your arguments include, relating to figures in religion "This isn't a religious issue".  Do you say that it purely mythological?  (I would like to propose a great many tons of masonry and countless artefacts as evidence to say that it is not).  Is this really what you are saying?  If so then please substantiate.  I have previously left you the above.  A motivation behind the issues raised here is that I would genuinely like you to come sunny side up.  GregKaye 13:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Change on Lammermuir Party Link
Hi Egsan. Recently you made a change for Mary Bell on the page the Lammermuir Party. Your text stated it was the wrong link. This link for Mary Bell should link to the page William David Rudland. I'm confused about the change. Please explain. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NRud320 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello. The link I removed at Lammermuir Party was a link to the article Mary Bell. That article is not a link to an article about a Mary Bell who was a missionary in the 1860s, but about a Mary Bell who was a murderer in the 1960s.  Since the link Mary Bell leads to the murderer by that name, but the context of the link clearly does not intend the link to go to the murderer by that name, it was a link to the wrong Mary Bell.  As the link could only serve to confuse, by bringing the reader to a link about an entirely different person who happens to have the same name, I removed it.  Since the other Mary Bells listed at the disambiguation page, Mary A. Bell, Mary Hayley Bell, and Mary Bell (aviator), are also not the person this link was meant for, none of them having yet been born in the 1860s, I did not replace the link with a link to the article on this Mary Bell, as there does not appear to be one at this time.  If you believe there should be a link to the article on her husband, by all means, you are free to make such a link. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Egsan! Sorry but my English is not so good :-) I'm normally writing on Wiki.it. I've put that text that you've deleted:

St Georges School, Carlton
Hi, Not quite sure why the link fix was made as the item in question wasn't a link in the first place but part of the reference citation as supplied by the National Library of Australia for Wikipedia entries. Happy to leave it now, but I wouldn't count it towards any score. Henry Sowerberry (talk) 06:03, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The part that was changed wasn't the visible part of the citation ("Punch (Melbourne, Vic. : 1900 - 1918; 1925)"), it was the place it was linked to, which was Punch. If someone clicked on that link looking for more information about the periodical being cited, they would get a page that provided articles about many different things called "Punch" or "punch". Since the one they want is located at the link Melbourne Punch, they would need to search through that list and hopefully not get confused for one of the other periodicals with that name.  With the link fixed, they don't have to do that, because now clicking on it brings them right to the article about the specific "Punch" they wanted information on.

Level 8 Magician
With the vague definition of "mechanic" given, I felt it was necessary to bring awareness to the lack of description of the trade. Simply listing different forms of a trade does not define the magic being performed. Mechanics in power plants turn rocks and dead dinosaurs into lightning bolts. How's that for magic?? Plus, the picture on the page depicts a mechanic working on a steam pump, which is inaccurate. There are no steam pumps in a power plant, as steam cannot be pumped. "Steam pumps" are pumps powered by steam, such as a steam locomotive engine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.173.39.51 (talk) 10:36, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello,

I am, and I am here with. We are two students that attend Noblesville High School. We are sorry if the information we put in our heading offend you, or some rules. However we noticed in the wiki page referring to Noblesville Indiana just stated facts about our home, and nothing about the culture it represents. "We are together!"

 * You've been reverted and I didn't get a response from the person who did it. After watching the season premiere of Scandal, I got concerned and I checked the article to make sure your hatnote was still there. It had been gone for some time as I took the longest time to go through the history. Since the article is featured, I'm guessing all those edits were intended to get it to featured status (Wrong. I figured out how to see when it was promoted. How in the world does an article that is already featured get that many edits?).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Turkish_War_of_Independence
If you take two minutes, you can see that 2 3 editors are running a campaign on purpose. this is a complete blind loop. We cannot enter data because they have blocked us. you say "you can go and contribute". but they do not allow it. review the history of the page. they reject and delete resources. but they cite an interview done a week ago as a source. I am not threatening. just stop these malicious people. You can see that they are just making propaganda by reading the page history.

In a sub-title, almost all sources are Armenian. In addition, there are writers who have Armenian chairs in other sources. Example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_War_of_Independence#Ethnic_cleansing

97 Kevorkian Armenian 98 Kevorkian Armenian 99 Kevorkian Armenian 100 Kevorkian Armenian 101 Kevorkian Armenian 61 Avedian Armenian

example of denial of resources : 22:15, 8 May 2021‎ Buidhe talk contribs‎ 106,390 bytes −821‎  →‎top: these are just reviews repeating mc carthy's claims, and have no independent value (except for the reception of his book)

This is a Turkish phobia. When you read this editor's other posts and see him reject sources, you will see that he is neutral and has created a campaign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.245.194.181 (talk) 22:20, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, IP 88, I can't ping you, and you can't watchlist pages, so you probably won't see this, but: 1) You really need to stop accusing other editors of things like "There are 2 editors who use Wikipedia for their own propaganda purposes." and you can see that 2 3 editors are running a campaign on purpose. Without evidence, those are personal attacks. You need to provide evidence, with diffs, explaining how those editors are doing that. It's not incumbent on anyone else to take two minutes to find your evidence for you. (Please note that I do not mean you should do that on this page. You should not. Please do not. I'm not an admin, so I couldn't do anything about it even if I found your evidence undeniable.) 2) You really need better reasons for why you have problems with specific sources than because they're Armenian.
