User talk:Gwendy/Archive 1

Welcome to GOCE
Hi, Gwendy - I see you signed on to the GOCE mailing list. I assume by now you've seen WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. The list has grown longer recently so we could use your help! I thought you might find some information I've placed at the top of my talk page helpful. Feel free to copy some or even all of it onto your user or talk page. Let me know if you have any questions about copy-editing. You can also ask Miniapolis, the lead coordinator, Jonesey95, the former lead coordinator, and Tdslk, the other assistant coordinator. Best regards, – Corinne (talk) 00:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the warm welcome, Corinne! I was a little nervous to start with something requested, but I suppose I can always ask someone to review it when I'm finished. I'll take a look at the list when I'm finished with the article I'm currently working on. The info on your talk page looks very helpful, thanks!! –gwendy (talk) 02:03, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I just wanted to tell you that I made a few small copy-edits to the info on my talk page, more in the layout than in content.  – Corinne (talk) 02:16, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I made a few more edits earlier this afternoon, trying to make explanations for some things clearer. I see you've added the GOCE templates to your user page. Since you can just highlight, then copy and paste the templates, you might want to change "Corinne" to "Gwendy" in one of them. Then all you would have to do is change the date. (That's the manual one. I usually use the automatic one. I use the manual one only if I forget to place the automatic one on the article's talk page at the time I finish the copy-edit.) You are welcome to copy/use anything else from my talk page. – Corinne (talk) 22:47, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Whoops, thanks! I'm still working on gathering my editing "tools" and haven't combed through it all yet :) – gwendy (talk) 00:22, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Hello!
Thank you for telling me about my unconstructive edit. I thank ClueBotNG for fixing my edit, and I will not mess with anything else. I really just meant to make a test edit to see if I could remove a link, I'm sorry. I will use my sandbox for that from now on. :) -GermanGamer77 — Preceding unsigned comment added by GermanGamer77 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

thanks


DarjeelingTea has given you a fresh piece of fried chicken! Pieces of fried chicken promote WikiLove and hopefully this piece has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a piping hot piece, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Thanks for doing such an excellent job copyediting Old Bob. DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:57, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Spread the tastiness of fried chicken by adding {{subst:GiveChicken}} to their talk page with a friendly message, or gobble up this chicken on the giver's talk page with {{subst:MunchChicken}}!!

Greetings, just noting that the bot wonders when you are finished. Also, if you are interested I've written another article (Olca-Paruma) in need of copyediting. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:13, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ah, no, sorry for the delay! I'll be back at it today. – gwendy (talk) 12:12, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Awards are added. Please do not delete this part as these all are important.
Hello, Thanks for information :)

The red lines can not be avoided because most awards do not have WIki sites. Moreover, Should I put references for all awards? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burak199219982 (talk • contribs) 11:25, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would reference each award–everything on Wikipedia should be verifiable Do you think that the awards will eventually have Wiki articles? If not, you could also just not Wikilink them to get rid of the redlinks; also one might argue that they are not notable enough to include without an article

GermanGamer77's question
I wonder how I can make a new userbox! Can you help me? And why can't I be an administrator? Are you one? GermanGamer77 (talk) 20:07, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there! You know, I have no idea how to make a Userbox, but there are instructions here and there is a Wikiproject Userboxes that might have some people willing to help. What do you want to make a Userbox for? Are you sure there isn't one already for it? I'll definitely take a look if you decide to try it! I can learn along with you
 * You don't have enough experience to be an administrator. Neither do I! Honestly I don't want to be one, at least not right now. There's a whole lot of policing that goes along with it, and I want to be constructive. I still have so many things to learn and so many other things I can do. There are lots of other added permissions though. Here's a list. Right now I have Reviewing pending changes&mdash;which I enjoy a lot! Eventually I plan to apply for WP:NPR, but I don't think I have enough experience yet. What do you want to do? What do you like to work on?
 * Happy editing!! – gwendy (talk) 21:38, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but I tried to follow the directions and couldn't make sense of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GermanGamer77 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, what do you want to make one for? – gwendy (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

"Unknown parameter"
It works. Why remove it? I do not know how to fix that faulty error warning. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:25, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm sorry about that! I saw the warning and I missed that it was checking for the parameter in the wrong template! I'm not sure how to fix it either, but I'll add a comment not to remove it for the next WP:AGF editor. – gwendy (talk) 15:37, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * While need to look into the issue as a few people have been removing them in good faith. Tried replacing the spaces with "_" and no luck. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 15:39, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * in the meantime hopefully my comment will help! – gwendy (talk) 15:43, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

What's a Cucciolo gatto Bibo? And what's a jpg|left|150px? GermanGamer77 (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It's the image file name, which is in Italian. The description of the image on Wikimedia Commons is Cucciolo di gatto meticcio which translates approximately to cat puppy according to Google Translate. I'm guessing Bibo is the cat's name? Anyway, jpg|left|150px tells Wikipedia how to position the image. For more information about images, check out WP:IMAGES. – &#x1D558; wendy &#124; &#9742;  18:17, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
