RFA
We have enough of a task on our hands dealing with vandalism and other issues - please do not try and waste our time with unfunny 'pranks'. GiantSnowman 18:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * My bad April Fools Day.mp3 (talk) 18:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Please also change your signature per WP:CUSTOMSIG/P. GiantSnowman 18:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks April Fools Day.mp3 (talk) 18:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * To be fair, we used to have people messing around with fake RFAs on April Fool's, so you (MG27) aren't crazy to think it would be OK. But in the last few years, it has really died down - at RFA, and everywhere.  There are still fake AFD's, but they've been quarantined at Articles for deletion/Log/April Fools' Day 2024, and to be honest aren't funny any longer either. I'm simultaneously relieved that the lamest jokes aren't around anymore, and disappointed that the clever ones aren't around anymore either.  It's a combination of (a) too many people being kind of lame, and (b) too many people being terribly serious. I would not recommend Requests for Adminship/April Fools' Day 2024 (to be honest it wasn't that funny), but I'd also receommend not feeling too bad about getting reverted.  Times have changed, is all. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for some clarification. Although my account itself is 3 years old, I haven't been active community and editing-wise until about a month ago. I guess I'm just not really knowledgeable on Wikipedia culture yet, lol MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, MemeGod27, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in an English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with ; did you know there is a Wikipedia in Malayalam? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. MemeGod ._. (talk) 13:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Tornado outbreak of April 2, 2024
Hello, MemeGod27,

Please stop moving this article around needlessly. It's only a day old and it's been moved to 5 or 6 different page titles, creating unnecessary redirects. Just work on it at this page title and if the "outbreak" goes past today, then another move can be considered. But don't move articles to slightly different page titles on a whim, it can create work for other editors who must clean up after them. Thanks and good luck with the article. Liz Read! Talk! 21:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. I had contacted the Kiwi IRC livechat trying to figure out how to fix the problem, and I take full responsibility. I was trying to rename it, and I guess it got out of control. Again, thanks :D MemeGod ._. (talk) 22:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how to do that, sorry. MemeGod ._. (talk) 15:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

You're still not following the directions in your block message. Are you sure you're still blocked? try to edit WP:SANDBOX. If you edit it, you're not blocked or autoblocked. If you can't, then you got a block notice; follow those instructions. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I am blocked. MemeGod ._. (talk) 15:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Follow the directions. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I've been trying. Everything the message has told me to do, I've done. MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I've been trying to follow the directions! Like what am I supposed to do? I've done everything it's told me to do, and I keep being told to correct it! MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Did you copy/paste the code from your block notice? --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, every bit of it MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It gave me 2 separate code pieces, I tried both of them, and I've been told both of them are wrong MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I've searched for this block manually, and I believe I've undone the autoblock. I'm pretty confident it did not give you the unblock-un template, and you didn't fill in the unblock-auto correctly, but whatever. I'm assuming you are not the blocked editor.  If you get autoblocked again, or if this account vandalizes, be aware that you;ll be scrutinized much more closely. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you so much. It is give me the template (literally copied and pasted it as it told me) but that's fine. Thanks :P   MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure this user deserves to have their intelligence questioned in public for failing to fill out a form correctly (even assuming they did). Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * True; I allowed my frustration to show. Sorry MG. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You're good. I understand, I'm just not really good with code. :)  MemeGod ._. (talk) 16:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Failed verifications
Please in the articles that you create add the pages that you found the info you include in the article. NGC 3110 for example has references but these references don't mention the info they are supposed to verify. C messier (talk) 19:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Galaxy template?
When you create the new articles for galaxies, do you base the article on a specific "template" article? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * While I don't have a specific template, I tend to follow a pattern. I do _____ is a ____ in the constellation _____. It is _____ light years from Earth (and then anything unique to the galaxy). MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, from my time on Wikipedia, I've learned that things need to be uniform. Look at what I had said and it can in a way apply to all of my NGC articles. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, but yeah. Most NGC galaxies are unfortunately extremely similar so that's just how I write them. MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks. It is just that most (all?) of new galaxy articles had the same errors with the Short description template. I was hoping to find a blank "master" article so I could fix it — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 19:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ohhh. I use the template, there may be an issue with that in specific. (I'm also not really good at writing short descriptions lol) MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The template should be at the start of the article and especially before the infobox. It also helps subsequent editors if the infobox is block formatted — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 19:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Astrobin and other self-published sources
Please refrain from using self-published sources like astrobin and various forums because self-published sources are largely not acceptable as reliable sources. C messier (talk) 09:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
