User talk:Stevo D

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Stevo D, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:
 * First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
 * Learn how Articles for deletion works.
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button.
 * Provide an Edit summary.
 * Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
 * Create a User page.
 * Be bold.
 * Ignore all rules.
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this:. Four tildes(~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! &mdash;WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

New userboxes
I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

RFA
Hello! I noticed you have tried to create a RFA. Are you sure you followed the instructions that appear here? If you wish to cancel the process, I guess you can either ask at the Talk page of the RFA page to delete it, or tag it with db-author (not completely sure about this last one). As a friendly advice, I tell you that most times, candidates with less than 1000 edits or 3 months do not usually pass. Whatever your decision, keep it up! -- ReyBrujo 05:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Shabba Ranks.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Shabba Ranks.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 01:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

South African Farmer Murders
Hi Stevo!

Good to see some more voices on the liberal side of the Plaasmoorde debate. I'm sorry you think the article is so bad that it should be shot on sight. Maybe you can find some time to give it a once-over? It's always hard to build a consensus when you have to deal with radicals, because you end up compromising halfway between sense and insanity, which is not ideal. I don't have time to work on WP as often as I'd like, so if you feel I could help with anything, please drop me a mail. I read that most every day. --Slashme 12:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Niyazov.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Niyazov.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 23:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sfconnect logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sfconnect logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Replaceable fair use Image:Lisa Ray.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lisa Ray.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mspraveen (talk) 18:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bathopele.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Bathopele.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Women's history editathon
Hey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday! It’ll be held at Hoyt Hall, an all-women's house of the Berkeley Student Cooperative from 3 to 6 pm tomorrow. The main event page is here. Anyone is welcome to show up, but we’re expecting a significant number of people to come who have literally never edited Wikipedia before. If you’re an experienced Wikipedian who would be able to provide useful help to some of the newbies, your presence would be especially appreciated (and it might be a good idea for you to show up at 2 or 2:30 instead of three. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:07, 6 April 2013 (UTC) I’m AWB’ing this message to all Wikipedians who have tagged themselves in the bay area.  I’m sorry if the message isn’t of interest to you; feel free to delete it.   I’ll be unlikely to send future messages in a similar way, but if really don’t want to receive future messages of this sort, please let me know.

 * 5) Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded User wikipedia/RC Patrol (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Best regards, — Delivered: 01:11, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

3RR
Your recent editing history at Fake News shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Your edit looks pretty good to me. 7 sources (!) Can't beat that. I've restored it. I anticipate someone may take it to the TP. XavierItzm (talk) 14:55, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

America first
Please do not remove sourced content. If you object, please discuss your objections on the talkpage. Also mind WP:BRD and WP:3RR. Thanks. Kleuske (talk)
 * It's not relevant to the article, which is about Trump's foreign policy in particular, not America First in general. Stevo D (talk) 12:05, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not up to you to decide what the article is about. You made a bold edit, it got reverted (twice), so please take it to the talkpage. Thanks. Kleuske (talk) 12:08, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

The article is literally titled 'America First (Policy). Seeing as 'America First' was never a policy until Trump, what can it possibly be about? Stevo D (talk) 12:11, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi! I just wanted to inform you that on the Lauren Southern article—the article in which you tried to keep the transgender writer tag—the issue has previously been discussed, and the consensus was that the transition was fake and that masculine pronouns are to be used. Thanks! RileyBugz Yell at me &#124; Edits  03:20, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

The issue pertains to gender pronouns, not to legal transition. Thanks! Stevo D (talk) 06:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Mooch
I am continuing this disagreement on the talk page. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:12, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017
Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Mooch. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should: Thank you. Widefox ; talk 09:21, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
 * Only add a " red link " if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Mooch. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.''Stop trying to force your edit at the dab and in future if someone reverts your edit, then use the talk page. Continuing to edit war may result in a block. It appears your edit is also a WP:BLP violation.'' Widefox ; talk 09:25, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Disambiguation link notification for June 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited South Lanarkshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edinburgh City ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/South_Lanarkshire check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/South_Lanarkshire?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
