User talk:Redgro

Warning users
Hello, I've looked through some of your vandalism reverts and they look pretty good. Just remember to warn the users you revert. The de facto standard is by creating a new section on their user talk page with the month and date (eg. September 2017), and paste a warning template under it (see Template messages/User talk namespace), starting from level 1 and slowly elevating it to level 4. If they vandalize beyond that point, you can report them to WP:AIV. It's actually not strictly necessary to elevate warnings one at a time, from 1 to 4, but it's the safest and most foolproof option until you gain enough experience to know when to "break" these standards. Once you have access to Twinkle, you'll be able to do these actions much more quickly. Thanks! Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 04:39, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Wikipedia
Hello again, Redgro. I have actually never used Twinkle, so I can't advise you about using it; could probably offer more information if not busy, or you could ask at the Teahouse. Sometimes when I want to correct grammar errors, I will pick a common one and use the search function to find Wikipedia pages with that error. For example, last month I searched on the phrase criteria is and clicked the "containing... criteria is" link at the bottom of the drop-down. Some of the pages were using that phrase correctly, but I fixed many that were not. Congratulations on becoming auto-confirmed! Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have, or to visit the Teahouse where there are other editors with different specialties who may be able to answer your questions better than I can. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 16:13, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi Redgro, thank you for your comments at my RfA. Your support is much appreciated! ansh 666 20:54, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

vandalism
Welcome to the club. We know we are doing something right when the vandals vandalize our user pages. A userbox that might interest you--  where "x" is the number of times.Cheers, Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Habitat
For your information, you added an "unreferenced" tag to the lead section of Habitat but I have removed it. This is because the lead section is supposed to summarise the contents of the main body of the text and not introduce any facts that are not mentioned in the rest of the article. So the lead does not need citations, because all of the information is (hopefully) cited elsewhere. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Redgro. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ARedgro enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Alex ShihTalk 16:33, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Huggle messages
Make sure you're using the right messages with Huggle. Two of your recent rollbacks have been for reasons other than what you stated in the edit summary. —C.Fred (talk) 18:02, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Vandal
Hello, Redgro. I'm curious: Do you know who is? Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 19:03, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes he is a sockpuppet of Vanished user 5g6brbadLOiImSJylcnP. If you look on his talk pages history and scroll down, you can see one of Noysters revisions says Multiple account warning:Ezzy436. Also can you please extended confirmed protect (I have made a request on the RPP) my user page if it's not already because of this vandalism. Thanks! Redgro (talk) 19:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was aware of the connection to the Vanished user, but I was hoping that you could be a bit more specific, as in do you know who the person is? ​—DoRD (talk)​ 22:51, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

RfA
Hi Redgro. The English Wikipedia is the only one that still does not have rules for who can vote and/or comment on RfA. All the others require voters to have been registered for some time and have significant experience that at least demonstrates they know what adminship is all about. You may have noticed that there is already a long discussion on that RfA that the number of user questions is already totally excessive, and posing more won't change the outcome. Please read WP:RFAV, and if you ever need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask - I don't bite newcomers who are genuinely here to help. Happy editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Friends of the Earth-Ghana


A tag has been placed on Friends of the Earth-Ghana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

 * Please list all of the accounts you have used. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:04, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest reading Standard Offer and come back in 6-12 months and we can talk about this. Vandal socking is generally a zero tolerance offense and I can't see letting you off w/o at least a six month block. In the meantime you need to list all of your other accounts. Also be aware that if there is any evidence of block evasion your chances of ever being unblocked will drop to near zero. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:38, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
