Welcome!
If anyone has any comments or questions about my edits, post them here. My only two rules are as follows: 1. NO ARGUMENTS! No exceptions for any reason, whatsoever. 2.NO SWEARING! I'm not as strict about this one, if I see one or two of these words, I won't care. Mast3rlinkx (talk) 00:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)mast3rlinkxMast3rlinkx (talk) 00:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As you've asked for advice on posts, I will be glad to provide it, as a long time user. A) sign your posts with four tildes ( ~ ); only one time is needed; B) try to avoid chat on the talk pages about the subject; talk pages are for improving the article (see WP:SOAP) C) Please make an attempt to use proper grammar: this includes capitalization, avoiding leet (e.g., "to" should be typed out, not abbreviated "2"), D) take care not to remove other people's comments: .

User:Mast3rlinkx/Clifton Todd Cannon
I read your message at the top of User:Mast3rlinkx/Clifton Todd Cannon, but felt that it was necessary to delete the page regardless. While your submission was indeed made with the best of faith, all articles written on Wikipedia must be covered in reliable, secondary sources, which this article does not seem to have. Unfortunately, we cannot accept it as a topic for the encyclopedia. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. NW ( Talk ) 00:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Some random advice
Hi, I had noticed your discussion at NuclearWarfare's talk page here and also I've noticed your userpage. I hope you will appreciate me making you aware of some misconceptions that I feel you may have:


 * Some questions I have to ask an admin. If the only source I find is a record that proves the person exists or existed, would that count as a secondary source? Also, if I were to write an autobiography of my life so far, would I need sources if I specify that I'm the one who wrote it? I'll even help you by putting the page on my watch list and deleting any changes that I don't make - I am not an admin but I can answer. Unfortunately, what you ask it's definitely not the way it works. We need secondary sources, that is, sources which are independent from the subject. See WP:V, WP:RS for details. Also, editing your own autobiography -let alone writing it from scratch!- is strongly frowned upon if not downright forbidden by our conflict of interest policy. Unless you have some secondary sources (say, newspaper articles, books etc.) significantly discussing you and your family and thus providing proof of notability, there are few to none chances that a page about you or your family is accepted here, and even if this is the case, you would probably be asked to not edit it. In any case, even if having a bio on WP can look like fun, there are reasons why an article about yourself is not necessarily a great idea.
 * about three months from turning 15, my parents don't let me have a webpage on Facebook, and I really think this is a chance to get a webpage of some kind, even if it's on Wikipedia - It seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that you want a personal page here. Your mention of Facebook is pretty revealing. Alas, Wikipedia is not meant to be a social networking site: you can have a user page here, but whose content and aim is mostly related to making the encyclopedia -see WP:NOTFACEBOOK. So if "getting a webpage" for yourself in general is your objective (and I understand and endorse that!) well, you should look somewhere else.
 * Of course if your aim here is instead contributing to the encyclopedia, you're more than welcome!

I hope this helps. Wikipedia is a fairly complex site with a long and convoluted set of rules and guidelines, so it's really common to have this sort of misconceptions. I hope this helps making clearer some of your doubts and feel free to contact me for any further question! -- Cycl o pia talk  00:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for your nice reply. You can answer me here (I am keeping your talkpage in my watchlist). But again, I have to remind you that (1) unless you have significant third-party reliable sources about you, an article about you will be most probably deleted and (2) even if you had these sources, writing your own autobiography is in deep conflict with our conflict of interest policy. It's not mere vandalism the problem, the problems are neutrality and notability. I am telling this to you in advance because if you go ahead with the autobiography, unfortunately chances are you will experience significant frustration, and I would like you to have a pleasant experience here. Thanks! -- Cycl o pia  talk  10:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I have the article in my special pages, so its chances of deletion are reduced because of this (hopefully). You can read the article's current version here. I read the essay on Wikipedia's policy for autobiographies, and I'm well aware of the usual result of those articles' completion and will do my best to make this article neutral. I quote from the article's introduction: If you find any bias at all in this article and post it on the talk page, I will personally delete the entire article and never start it again. Thanks for the concern.


 * --Mast3rlinkx (talk) 12:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The "chances of deletion" argument holds for articles that are under construction and then meant to be brought into article space. Holding an article meant as a "real" one in userspace indefinitely may fall unfortunately under WP:FAKEARTICLE. Now, in the present state your autobiography does not concern me, it can be intended as a kind of "hi, that's me" page that can be happily tolerated in your userspace. But please avoid trying to pass it for an actual encyclopedia article. That's all, and happy editing! -- Cycl o pia talk  13:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Mast3rlinkx
Hi Mast3rlinkx. I noticed you created an RfA page some time ago. I was wondering as to what the status of that RfA might be. Please let me know if you still intend to run for adminship with that RfA; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete it for you in about a week or so from today. Regards,  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:32, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well then, if you are absolutely sure this is what you want. Could you please answer the questions at Requests for adminship/Mast3rlinkx?  Once you have done that, I'll transclude (i.e. submit for formal review) your RfA.  Regards,  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:50, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, looks good. My apologies, but can you confirm one last time on my talk that you wish to run for adminship today?  Thanks,  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:56, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Mast3rlinkx, just to make it clear, you have zero chance of passing an RFA right now. I'm not trying to be mean, its just fact, you do not have the experience necessary to be an admin at this time, and it will not be a pleasant experience for you. I strongly suggest you forget about adminship for now and focus on editing-- Jac 16888 Talk 00:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
