User talk:Teddks

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Teddks! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Diverse Mentality  02:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Your page protection request
Your request for page protection was good, even though you specified the wrong kind of protection. Keep up the good work! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 00:38, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

January 2009
Thank you for making a report (and many others) on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you! Toddst1 (talk) 03:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, just another note to add on to this; remember, only one edit is usually not enough to get an IP blocked, especially due to the often-shared nature of IP addresses. Unless it is distinctly trolling (Grawp reference, etc.), just warn it and keep an eye; it isn't necessary to report. Thanks, though! Cheers, Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :D  03:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Blocking
I AM NOT THE VANDAL. This is a school computer, and kids will always use it to mess up wikipedia. I am an editor, and I ask that you block this IP address from editing indefinitely. Thanks. —24.91.7.65 (talk) 17:55, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know if you'll ever read this, but this isn't how Wikipedia operates. I'm personally glad that my high school's IP address wasn't blocked to anonymous editors, because I started fighting vandalism from my high school's computers. If vandals continue to harass Wikipedia, the IP address will be blocked and if that continues, it might eventually be blocked to all anonymous editors, but until then, I'm confident that Wikipedia's vandal-fighters will be successful.

Hi.
Look, this computer is used by many, many different people, and most of them are children. Block it from editing. Please. It will not stop otherwise. I have an account on Wikipedia, and I take it seriously. People will always use to vandalize. Block it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.7.65 (talk) 13:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Eliezer Yudkowsky
Hello. How did you identify the edit by Hpmorvengeance at 20:50, 8 June 2011 as vandalism? The fanfiction referenced there is Yudkowsky's best known work and surely it belongs in his biography. Strobilomyces (talk) 21:47, 11 June 2011 (UTC) Sorry, I am confused about this issue, it is another comment which I think has been wrongly deleted. Please delete my comment from your page.

Possible conflict of interest
Although you did not disclose your identity on Wikipedia, it's not hard to figure out your user name is very similar to that of a researcher in one of the academic DSU groups. In fact, before I ever hit google, I had bet with myself with which group you were affiliated based on the presentation in the DSU article, particularly the level of detail on some systems vs. others. And I won the bet. So please take some time to read WP:COI if you are indeed who I think you are. JMP EAX (talk) 16:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I probably am who you think I am. I don't consider this Wikipedia account to be anoymous. The DSU article was originally written as an assignment for a science writing class in undergrad. I consider it entirely fair and objective, and don't think anyone in the area would disagree. I'm no longer in that research group, though, and DSU is no longer my area of research (despite what my very out of date website says). Further, I don't think I have a conflict of interest as per that page. As for the level of detail, I just know more about the systems I know more about. When writing the original article I paid more attention to later systems than earlier ones. Do you think the article is un-neutral in any way? Teddks (talk) 17:11, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

May 2015
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Divergent (film), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  21:50, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Divergent (novel). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  21:51, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Note
These edits were made by a younger sibling who borrowed my phone while I was signed into the Wikipedia app.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for July 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dynamic software updating, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ELF. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
