The 2010-10-14 incident
Hi, I am new to this site and I have never done anything related to wiki in my life. I didn't even know that people could post information here with an account. I thought it was simply run by a bunch of people. I didn't know that you couldn't post a link. I got messages and I thought it was a simple confirmation that my post was there adn I was super excited to see my name up there. I posted a link to my own website to give people access to more information about myself...the author...and the book. Little did I realize that the messages I was getting was to tell me that I couldn't post a link. I thought it was to tell me it was posted...not that it had been deleted or the reason why. My browser was off to the right and I didn't know I could scroll down. Had I seen that, I wouldn't have posted the link in there. I thought that some sort of error was happening or that my post had to be approved. I tried talking to someone about it (Ian, who filed a report 20 minutes ago to block me) and he didn't believe me. I'm sorry and I made an honest mistake. If I do it again, feel free to ban me from your website forever. But I can tell you that I won't because I now know how the website works. It was an honest mistake and misunderstanding. Thanks for reading this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekael777 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * User attempted to promote a non-notable book, completely ignored all warnings, says it was a mistake that he didn't read them. Seems kinda amazing that someone could edit here without being able to find the scroll bar. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:35, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I messed up and just put a message in the wrong box. Sorry. Again...I'm new to this site and I am not familiar with how it works. I have no problem following rules and I know this rule now. So I won't be posting any links. Not sure what else I can say or do to prove my honesty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekael777 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the confusion but I am learning how to navigate through this website. Again, I have never been on this website and didn't know. So am I just going to be blocked forever now? Should I simply close this account and forget about this? Please advise. (Ekael777 (talk) 18:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC))
 * Users aren't on 24/7, Mortense (who wasn't previously involved) could actually be doing something in real life. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:59, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't know who else to talk to. You seemed annoyed by me and don't believe me. So I don't know what to do. (Ekael777 (talk) 19:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC))

It's the honest truth. I didn't even know there was a chat/message thing for this website. I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what else to say aside from I'm sorry and it won't happen again because now I know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekael777 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

IRC
Good working with you on the WP:IRC page - any opinions about either additional clients, or what's going on with Wikivoices? --Lexein (talk) 19:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I was missing (or maybe I overlooked it) mention of web-based IRC clients. For instance, http://webchat.freenode.net/ can be used to look at the Wikipedia related channels (say irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia) without the need to install any extra software on a computer.  --Mortense (talk) 19:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I only looked at WP:IRC because Wikipedia had never been more sluggish for me than today, and I heard somewhere that IRC was the place to go to in such cases to get information about what was going on (I think it was in one of Leo Laporte's podcasts - FLOSS Weekly, episode 7 with the Jimmy Wales interview?). Perhaps there should be some information about this for the channel that would have this information? Update: it is still sluggish as of 19:57:00 UTC. --Mortense (talk) 19:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I am sad to admit I did not know what Wikivoices was at the time of reading. --Mortense (talk) 19:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * About Wikivoices: me neither. See WP:IRC section, "web-based" access, now more prominent. I actually took out extra mentions of the word client - it describes all of the UI/protocol tools, and is used in the topic paragraph: "popular clients include".  ==Accessing IRC== could just as easily be == Accessing IRC - Clients== Maybe we could get a shortcut WP:IRCCLIENT to point to that section.   I reordered the section to put help-seekers' needs first, then web-based, then client based.  Thoughts? --Lexein (talk) 22:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It is much, much better now. I tried to apply this iRosetta question to it. Shortcut WP:IRCCLIENT would be nice to have. It was the FLOSS Weekly episode 7, at 15 min 10 secs; MP3 file (26.2 MB). --Mortense (talk) 16:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd like to copy or move this to Wikipedia_talk:IRC because there's no rationale there for the changes I made to the section. But it's your talk page... --Lexein (talk) 18:22, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Please move or copy as you see fit. --Mortense (talk) 19:41, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 15:30, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:46, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of ChucK for deletion

Hej! Har du planer den 18. august?
Eller kan jeg lokke dig med til mødet med Odense Bys Museer? Det vil jo ikke gøre noget, hvis det også kunne være en chance for at møde andre wikipedianere... --Palnatoke (talk) 08:12, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ja, det er en glimrende ide og jeg har meldt mig til mødet. Tak for at gøre mig opmærksom på mødet. Hvordan fandt du frem til mig? --Mortense (talk) 10:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Via dit brugerside-link til Odense. --Palnatoke (talk) 13:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Social network poisoning
Given your edits, would you look at Talk:Social network poisoning? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 05:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what edits you are referring to. Particular edits or my edits in general? Your arguments for deletion of Social network poisoning seems reasonable. --Mortense (talk) 07:49, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Arduino edit
Hi,

Can you explain the purpose of this edit? It doesn't really make much sense to me for Arduino to direct to an anchor. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It is to have a (precise) link target. For instance, from article FTDI, for link "Arduino Uno" (near "such as the Arduino physical computing platform (up to before Arduino Uno).")


 * Or is it the naming that is the problem? --Mortense (talk) 15:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's necessary to link that deeply. However, if you think it's a good idea, the better approach would be to have Arduino Uno point at Arduino, and for the Uno row in the table to use anchor. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 20:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Just a FYI in case you're not aware: when referencing Wikipedia articles or guides in your edit summaries, you can use links like WP:ORDINAL. That way it's easier for newbies to look them up, especially if they don't know about how shortcuts work. -- intgr [talk] 11:40, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
