Warning users
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Template index/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. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 11:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

 * This had nothing to do with you, obviously, as it was given in Nov 2023.
 * Taking part in vandalizing something as important as Wikipedia is the most pathetic thing a human can do with their time on this Earth, this website is a repository of knowledge meant to help mankind (that includes you), not to mention that you and others like you steal time from people tho volunteer to keep this place running.
 * Do something better with your life. MeadeIndeed (talk) 13:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Clean up notice
Thank you for your advisory note on my article. May I suggest that you clean up your clean up notice? 'encyclopediacly' is not a word. I have amended the spelling of 'writter' to 'written', but I am not sure if this correction appears on all uses of your notice. You may care to check this out. The article did have a reference section, although there was no 'References' heading. You may want to change how you use that function. Shipsview (talk) 11:15, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * uh yeah that was my fault. But I stand by what I said. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:28, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * also the lack of the references heading was indeed what I was talking about, but i will try to fix my clean up template. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:28, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * alright it's fixed, and i removed the reference thing cause that was fixed. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:30, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Good stuff! Shipsview (talk) 08:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem! Gaismagorm (talk) 10:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Patient Zero. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to User talk:Discospinster—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Patient Zerotalk 22:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * oh shoot, hold in I'll check I might've made a mistake Gaismagorm (talk) 22:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ok, I'm a little confused on the issue @Patient Zero Gaismagorm (talk) 22:45, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * unless it's me removing others talk page messages, then my bad, I'll stop with that (I just thought it was okay if the messages I were removing we personal attacks) Gaismagorm (talk) 22:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am terribly sorry. I appear to have been trying to revert the transphobia/attacks at the same time as you. I will redact these warnings shortly. Best, Patient Zerotalk 22:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ah I see, no worries! Gaismagorm (talk) 22:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your understanding and civility in your response! I'll see if there's an issue with the tool I am using, as that shouldn't be happening. Patient Zerotalk 22:49, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * alright, have a great day! Gaismagorm (talk) 22:50, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You too! :-) Patient Zerotalk 22:55, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Nuns Island Theatre
Hello, Draft:Nuns Island Theatre isn't advertising, so I removed the G11 tag that you added. The article seems to be neutral, but I moved it to draft because it didn't have enough references. G11 is only for unambiguous advertising. If an article sems to be advertising but you think other users would disagree, you can tag the article as advert so that other editors will see the tag and perhaps improve the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:52, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * ah ok my bad, i'll make sure to do that next time! Gaismagorm (talk) 14:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Really ugly vandalism
Hey there! Thanks for your work in removing vandalism from Wikipedia. One of the edits you reverted recently was a really ugly racial slur that someone dropped into Western suburbs (Melbourne). If you see something like that, please find an admin and ask for the edit to be "revision deleted", usually abbreviated "revdel". This removes the edit from the history of the page. We can revdel the edit itself, the edit summary, and/or the editor's username, depending on the circumstances. Thanks again! Joyous! Noise! 00:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Should I email them? or is there a way to do that otherwise doesn't require email? Gaismagorm (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Emailing is best practice, because often we're trying to get the edit removed without a lot of fuss, to avoid "feeding the troll" by giving them attention for their edits, but if you don't use email with Wikipedia, you can drop a subtle message at an admin's talk page. There's a list of admins who are especially willing to handle revdel requests, although any admin could either handle it themself, or flag the attention of someone who will. Joyous! Noise! 02:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * alright, I'll be sure to do that. have a great day! Gaismagorm (talk) 10:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Question, sir
How do you make hyperlinks so that they don't show the whole title as it's listened in the hyperlink but rather the words you want to show it. For instance for my Bruce A Young article, I wanted to downcut the display of CTV Television Network to CTV (to make it proper-looking, without removing the link) for the 1996 - 1999 UPN/CTV show "The Sentinel". I want to do the same for like "Richard Bey." RobertFL1991 (talk) 23:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @RobertFL1991
 * so it depends.
 * for links that link to articles on wikipedia you do [ [ wikipedia article name|display text ] ]
 * for links that lead to websites outside of wikipedia you do { { display text|website url } }
 * be sure to remove the spaces between the brackets, I just did it cause it was inserting links when I tried to send the message.
 * for more info check out Help:Link
 * do note that some websites such as imdb have their own syntax for linking due to their extensive usage.
 * hope this helps! Gaismagorm (talk) 00:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you :) RobertFL1991 (talk) 00:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * no problem, glad to help! Gaismagorm (talk) 01:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I need help with something
when editing articles, I have a hard time positioning the picture I want to put in the middle on the main info box at the beginning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_A._Young Notice how the picture isn't positioned right? I had trouble putting the The Richard Bey Show logo as well in the past. RobertFL1991 (talk) 03:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


 * yes I can see that, but im not quite certain how to fix the issue. I'd reccomend going to the teahouse. there you can ask these kinds of questions and get help from many people. hope this helps! Gaismagorm (talk) 10:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not understanding why my page doesn't get a simple approval
I would like people to see it and if they want to add more sources to strengthen the page, they could, but it's like I can't get a start.

Introduction to contentious topics
Hi ,

regarding Special:Diff/1226282915,


 * Did you check the source before restoring the material?
 * Are you aware of WP:BLPPRIMARY?

Best regards, &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * yeah that was my bad, I'll make sure not to do that next time, whoops! Gaismagorm (talk) 23:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks and no worries! &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 23:45, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, how do you post pictures from Commons onto an article?
I want to add a picture of 1 MetroTech Center into the article about Brooklyn and being this site takes copyright very seriously, I just want to add a picture that can be of some use. Am I allowed to edit the picture, or it must be used. Thank you to whoever adjusted the picture of Bruce A. Young, the actor for me. RobertFL1991 (talk) 04:01, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello RobertFL1991!
 * while I myself haven't uploaded any images, I do believe the article Uploading images should hopefully provide the information necessary. Sorry I don't much further, but I hope that helps! Gaismagorm (talk) 12:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Got it. Just download from Commons and let them know. RobertFL1991 (talk) 18:45, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * if thats what it says, then yeah! Gaismagorm (talk) 19:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Not let them know, but all you have to do is just indicate that it was from Commons, and then give the indicated Commons # like whatever specs it was. RobertFL1991 (talk) 22:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you are confused, I'd reccomend Teahouse, honestly I know very little about image policy on wikipedia. Gaismagorm (talk) 22:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No I'm good. I loaded the picture already anyways. I did it the right way. RobertFL1991 (talk) 00:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * alright, good! Gaismagorm (talk) 12:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Sock puppet
Hello there. ItsCheck the 2nd is not my alt account. Please disregard anything that they have stated. ItsCheck (talk) 17:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @ItsCheck alright, thanks! I kinda got that impression from them. you should probably report them. Gaismagorm (talk) 17:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * nevermind, they were blocked. Gaismagorm (talk) 17:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Someone has been repeatedly making alts and trying to get me into trouble. What can I do? ItsCheck  (talk) 17:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Im not particularly sure, I'd reccomend asking at the wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Helpdesk. My first idea however for where you should report them is possibly Sockpuppet investigations. I'm not fully certain however, and I'd reccomend asking on the teahouse or help desk before posting a sockpuppet investigation, since I could be wrong. Gaismagorm (talk) 17:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Possible violation of WP:DR and spirit of WP:AGF at Talk:Jinn
Hi there. I'm part of part of couple of months long going dispute and preparation for RfC at Jinn, (starting around here). At the suggestion of &#32;Bookku   (here), I was wondering if you could take a look at this post by  VenusFeuerFalle and see if you find it in breach of WP:DR spirit of WP:AGF as &#32;Bookku    (our informal dispute facilitator) and myself do. Example:

Many thanks if you can. --Louis P. Boog (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Louis P. Boog I am terribly sorry, but I am not an administrator. Gaismagorm (talk) 17:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you. --Louis P. Boog (talk) 23:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * it's fine, don't worry about. I honestly found it mildly amusing (not the situation but me being confused with being an admin) Gaismagorm (talk) 01:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
