Thanks for the advice I'll keep working on it! FIGHTER KD 18:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC) FIGHTER KD 18:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Can we move this back into my sandbox or a subpage for more improvement of article? Thanks FIGHTER KD 04:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC) FIGHTER KD 04:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

A slight anomaly?
" I joined Wikipedia in 2011" =/= ; see what I mean? It's the sort of thing people here notice, I'm afraid. Take care! &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  04:13, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

No offense just because my username is different then it was in 2011 does not mean that I did not join in 2011. I don't have the slightest clue what my username was that long ago, I don't even remember what all I did yesterday much less 6 years ago! So I had to start from scratch! Thanks for your feedback though I do appericate it! FIGHTER KD 05:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Field Hockey Canada
You recently made an edit to Field Hockey Canada, specifically this edit. Not a bad start, but with some followup needed.

You cited your sources, which is good. But you did so using inline external links (links to sites outside of Wikipedia) which is not one of the proper methods of citing sources here (although it seems very natural). There are several methods com monly in use here See Referencing for Beginners for more details. In this case, i have chosen to use footnotes (created with  tags) formatted with Citation templates. I made that change in this edit. Do please look at how the footnotes were given in the wiki-code, and how they render in the page.

The second issue is that you copied the text directly from your source, without marking it as a quotation. This is not generally acceptable. See Copyrights and FAQ/Copyright for why this is a problem. Accordingly, I paraphrased the text in this edit. Note that this involved using each citation twice, by giving each a reference name, and then referring to those names on the 2nd use. This is how one may cite a single source many times in an article, without cluttering the reference list. (Well, more exactly it is one way, there are others.)

Finally, I decided to reorder the article with the added content, and divide it into sections. I did that in this edit. This was not required, as the other two changes were, but it seemed to me an improvement. You can see all of the changes in the page history.

I hope that this was helpful to you. You may also find the pages Help:Editing, Help:Wiki markup, and Help:Cheatsheet useful. Happy editing. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 10:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for helping with that and correcting my attempt to improve the article. That was very kind of you and all the info you gave me helps a lot!!! FIGHTER KD 16:36, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Adoption
I see you have activated the adoptme template on your user page. You have an idea, by now, of the way I interact. Would you be interested in having me as a formal mentor? (I like that term better than "adopter" but the meaning here is much the same.) If you would prefer someone else, i will not be in any way offended. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC) YES I would love for you to adopt me! Thanks so much!FIGHTER KD 00:40, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Assignments
Since you have accepted me as a mentor, here are some assignments.


 * First. please fix your signature. Go to Special:Preferences, or click on the prefences link at the top of any page. Scroll to the signature section on the user profile page. Enter  (without the nowiki and code tags, those are just to display the wiki code) in the "Signature" box, and check "Treat the above as wiki markup". This will render as: FIGHTER KD Talk (except that the talk will be a link on any page but this one). If you don't like that signature, it can be modified, but there really must be at least one link to your user or user talk page, and both is better. Ping me when it is done, please.
 * Second, read the pages on copyright I posted links to in the section above about your field hockey edit. Explain here why your edit was not acceptable, and how to handle such cases in future. Ping me when you are done, please.
 * Third, Find another article to copy edit or improve, and try your hand. Please ping me when you are done.

I don't know how much wiki-time you have, so there is no deadline. But please tackle those as soon as you reasonably can, in that order. And of course DO post on my talk page or ping me to ask any questions you may have, at any time. I will respond when i can. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 02:02, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I followed your instructions for the signature page I think I I did it correctlyFIGHTER KD Talk 15:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I didn't understand much of this unblock request. You say you are not sockpuppet. Are you the same person as User:Krisdegioia or not? Are you the same person as User:Cybercrimes or not? How many accounts do you have?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:56, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

On July 9, I wrote up a brief history at SPI regarding and. It was determined that there were likely two groups involved (a third group was deemed to be potentially involved but much less substantially). The two primary groups were the 'Waffen77 undisclosed paid sock farm' and another set of accounts claiming to either be the subject (such as and  ) or ones having a close connection to the subject (such as  and ). Here are the basics: On June 27, the account emailed me via the Wikipedia email system and identified themselves as Kris Degioia from an email address that matched her official website. It is where the above quote comes from, however, out of context, and occurred when explaining the prohibitions on undisclosed paid editing. It was also at this time that the account Cybercrimes had yet to be tied to any other accounts. A copy of these emails were sent to WMF Legal and CA when the situation escalated in July.
 * Waffen77 was an elaborate undisclosed paid sock farm discovered in December 2016.
 * The sock farm created and maintained dozens of promotional articles. One of them was the Wikipedia article Kris Degioia.
 * The article Kris Degioia was first created by and deleted in October 2016 under WP:G11 by.
 * The article was subsequently recreated by a Waffen77 sock and deleted again on December 28, 2016 by me. Since, the article has been recreated numerous times before it was eventually locked.
 * The account did not claim to be the subject. They talk about the subject in the third person. At the time, it was not known whether it was one or two group involved and things were still being filed under Waffen77.
 * The article Kris degioia was created on February 20 and deleted by.
 * The article Kris R Degioia was created on June 8 and deleted and locked by.
 * We now know via checkuser information, behavioural evidence, and other information (including emails) that the following accounts are connected:
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)
 * (CU)  has verified the ✅ results
 * A page on the CU wiki was created to retain the IPs and UA information to track the accounts.
 * A page on the CU wiki was created to retain the IPs and UA information to track the accounts.

Talk about the need to create WP:LTA case has been discussed since June 2016 with and. Now might be the time given the changing tactics and complexity of the case. Personally, I think WMF Legal should be notified/consulted if an unblock request will be considered. Additionally, I would press that ``the editor will need to address the above issues, disclose all their connected accounts, and immediately cease socking, before a standard offer were to be contemplated. Mkdw  talk 23:17, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * On July 9, a number of editors were targeted in a blog post on Kris Degioia's company website. It was at this point that WMF Legal and CA were advised of the situation. The blog post was eventually taken down.
 * On July 10, emails from Kris Degioia were received that included legal threats, threats of harm, and doxxing. A summary and copy was sent to WMF Legal, CA, and the functionaries.
 * These threats were word-for-word repeated by on July 20 and subsequently suppressed.


 * I have revoked talk page access. Accusations of misconduct without evidence, such as the ones now oversighted here (still visible when I revoked access), constitute personal attacks. "If everyone wants to see the proof of all this then let me know" is vacuous because I have asked about proof and was told that none exists (any more?) that could be shown.
 * I believe ArbCom has already been contacted, so there's no need for further discussion here. Huon (talk) 18:21, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
