Reverting things I could easily fix
When I fix poor edits and/or give advice, the editor often does not correct to MOS. By undoing their edit, telling them why, what to do, and offering assistance, the editors learn. Otherwise, I often spend lots of time repeatedly fixing the same editor's edits. I notice that some fix their edits afterwards and some do not. This seems to be the approach many, but not all, RCPs & admins use. I do so much RCP that I seldom recognize the IPs. AGF? Perhaps on the edge. I'm not attempting to smite them, a timid editor might think so. Suggestions always welcome. Cheers Ping me with &#123;&#123;u&#124;Jim1138&#125;&#125; and sign "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" or message me on my talk page. 18:03, 1 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright thanks for teaching me this RCP tip . but the ip may be another person now so i dont know if these ips will ever fix their edits. also i couldnt find a RS for the info that the ip added. --Drew7890 (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I just checked the IPs edit history. I had a glitch when I saved the first comment on the IP's page, so it was delayed about seven minutes, but the IP did adding "sortable" to the table after my first message. BgWhite did one revert "allcaps" here I had a glitch when I saved the first comment on the IP's page, so it was delayed about seven minutes, but the IP did one edit afterwards. No idea if s/he read their talk page.
 * I try to help out, though not so much when overly tired or cranky. Having a page of suggestions on a notepad that you can copy/paste can be useful. My computer crashed :o( and I hadn't backed that up, so I'm starting over. I wish there were a feature that required the IP to read their talk page and somehow acknowledge it before they continued. That would be truly evil. Cheers Ping me with &#123;&#123;u&#124;Jim1138&#125;&#125; and sign "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" or message me on my talk page. 18:58, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Warnings to vandals
Just as a tip, if a vandal isn't moved by the official warnings, personal pleas to stop will have no effect and only gives the vandal more attention, which is what they want. I would suggest saving your effort and simply let the admins handle it, which they will eventually as a report has been made. 331dot (talk) 17:10, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Giving warnings
Hey, I recommend that when you revert vandalism, warn the vandal linking to the page they vandalized (i.e. put the name of the page vandalized on the "Linked article" box). This will help being more specific when warning vandals. --TL22 (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I sometimes do but sometimes when vandalism is so serious that i am in a hurry that i don't even bother to put the page in the warning :P --Drew7890 (talk) 21:12, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Heads up on stub formatting
Thanks for your creation of the Serato DJ stub! Just as a quick heads up, when including the template for a stub, please place it at the very bottom of the article, under everything (even categories) as per the Manual of Style (see: [[WP:SVSP|]). Also, when possible, it's desirable to find a stub category that is very specific. This helps alert interested editors who may be experts in the area that there is an article that they could contribute to.

As always, thanks for your contributions. Happy editing! BU Rob13 (talk) 03:04, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem ur welcome! i was aware that Serato was lacking an article while comparable software have one. --Drew7890 (talk) 06:54, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Maintenance tasks
Hi. I'm just letting you  know that  I  have reverted your  edit here. If you wish to  do  maintenance tasks so  earlier in  your  Wikipedia carrer, you  might  lke to  consider areas that  are at  the same time less complex and more important. If you need any  help  don't  hesitate to  ask  me on  my  talk  page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:26, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Rik Carey
The DS3 Group is management/PR for Rik Carey (lead singer of The BahaMen).

Today we were working on making some long deserved changes to his Wikipedia page. His legal name is Patrick Carey and his pseudonym is Rik Carey so we wanted to ensure that anyone who types in Rick Carey (Singer) is taken to Rik Carey Wiki.

We will be making lots of changes over the coming weeks.

Rollback
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ADrew7890 granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 03:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

You didn't make a mistake in your revert, but just didn't look back far enough to see that the previous edits were also vandalism. I fixed it - but didn't want you to think that the "jackass" in my edit summary was meant for you. Cheers Tvoz / talk 22:17, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * it's ok man. just dont use the "a-word" or that will attract the sysops' attention. --Drew7890 (talk) 08:02, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * True, but attracting their attention doesn't particularly worry me, if I use that word to describe vandals who think it's funny to put their own names into biographies - you know that jackass is a milder version of what I really wanted to say. There's no justification for that kind of crap that makes work for everyone else, is not the least bit humorous, and destroys our credibility as an encyclopedia. I've put in too many years here to not care about that. Tvoz / talk 20:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

SEMA
I removed the list because it was a giant, random list of cars with zero textual support, zero indication of its relevance, and almost zero valid, reliable references. It's just literally a big list of cars. The article's a mess, it reads like a self-promotional press release, and if it's going to have any hope of being written encyclopedically it's got to be cleaned up first. 03:00, 16 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.20.214 (talk)

Submitting an article
Thanks for you welcome.


 * As you can see, I have almost finished this project on "Patrick Carnegie Simpson". I am just doing the final corrections and checking links. I would like to submit it this evening or tomorrow. But, as I am a novice, I am not quite sure of the best way to proceed.  Can you make a suggestion?


 * There is a potential "conflict of interest". (Carnegie Simpson was my grandfather) I have mentioned this on my user page. Is there anything else I should do?


 * I have an irritating technical problem. Can you help?  When I am editing the text, suddenly and for no apparent reason, the key board switches from azerty to qwerty (I have a French Key board).  This happens sporadically and only when I am editing on Wikipedia. The only solution is to log out, shut down Wikipedia and then log back in.  Can you see any explanation for this?

With thanks

 * @ Go ahead. You can always submit an imperfect article and edit it later. You actually did an impressive job at your new article. I didnt expect creating such a large article right at the beginning :) btw i have a comment: if you go into too much detail, other editors will just come in and clean them up.
 * Conflict of interest? Don't worry, stay to Neutral point of view and you're ok.
 * Keyboard: You can contact some of the WP:Admins for some help. I only use an english keyboard. If you are running windows, the keyboard setting is different for each program.

 * If you don't mind, I would prefer to finished my corrections in the sandbox before you start editing.


 * Thanks for your comment on "too much detail".  Yes,  I had been thinking about that - I have been trying to make the information relevant for understanding the problem. The problem is, if you cut down on detail the wikipedian just gets less information.

A hint on anti-vandalism work.
I would recommend you STiki, a tool designed to revert vandalism (as always). See the page I linked to for more info. --<b style= "color:red">T</b><b style= "color:#FF4200">L</b><b style= "color:#FF7400">2</b><b style= "color:#FFA700">2</b> (<i style= "color:green">talk</i>) 12:44, 20 June 2015 (UTC) Oh, I see you already have a ad of it in your page, perhaps try igloo? --<b style= "color:red">T</b><b style= "color:#FF4200">L</b><b style= "color:#FF7400">2</b><b style= "color:#FFA700">2</b> (<i style= "color:green">talk</i>) 12:46, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * @: not igloo... it works out terrible for me. it cant find any vandalism at all. and i dont know how to set up stiki's sensitivity to detect more vandalism, as 99% of edits i see in stiki are legit edits. -Drew7890 (talk) 03:45, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Question
Why is it more appropriate to put a 15-second sample of a non-free song than putting a link to the music video on YouTube? --Drew7890 (talk) 00:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Because we can choose the sample to highlicht the aspects of the song we're discussing. We don't add such clips just for the sake of having them. Huon (talk) 00:40, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Serato DJ
Hello Drew7890,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Serato DJ for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

(speedy deletion tag was later removed by another user.)


 * , at least it's not unambiguous promotion. Thanks for saving my article from possible speedy deletion. Actually it is an article that I am still working on, and there are also comparable software like Traktor and Mixxx that actually deserve their own articles. Could you just give me and other potential editors some time to build up the article before you decide that it meets deletion criteria? thank you. --Drew7890 (talk) 19:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Serato DJ edits
Hi Drew7890. I saw that you posted an edit summary along with your edit on Serato DJ that seemed a bit aggressive. While I'm sure you didn't mean to offend, please try to avoid doing this in the future. It can be frustrating when you have a disagreement with another editor, but in these situations, it's best to assume good faith and take your disagreement to the article's talk page, where other editors can weigh in and reach consensus. On that note, I've posted regarding the alleged WP:NPOV issues with Serato DJ at Talk:Serato DJ, and I welcome you to weigh in if you have anything to add. I've also alerted the other editor of the discussion there. ~ RobTalk 01:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

External link removed
Hello Drew7890,

Thanks for review my contribution to Wikipedia. I think that add the information about https://anythings.co - a website I am managing - would be relevant for the smart object page. What do you think about it ?

Brother Dave Gardner
I disagree about the revisions I made to the Dave Gardner discography because I had the complete list of his albums, along with charting positions where they made the Billboard Top 100. There were several albums I have in my collection that were missing from the list. I didn't know you owned the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimmyC2 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Brother Dave Gardner
The original albums I changed were titled in lowercase letters on the record jackets and I was correcting my original edits to be accurate to the original releases. Also, I had Hip-Ocracy on Capitol Records instead of Tower, so that was why that was changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimmyC2 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey there, I was actually correcting an error on the page, and for accuracies sake, should be reverted to my version.

John Hospers was a man who identified as male. He was also openly gay. Saying woman instead of that is either meant to insult or deliver misinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.32.144 (talk) 22:50, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism? I'm confused.
Hey there!

Look, I'm sorry if I inadvertently vandalized some pages here on Wikipedia. However, would you be so kind as to explain to me how I "vandalized" the three entries when I categorized them as "Gay actors?" I didn't think I was doing anything wrong since each profile for Tom Goss, Jon Kortajarena, and Matthieu Charneau states that they all openly gay? But, if adding them to a specific category constitutes as vandalism, I do truly apologize.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiGuy76 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * , I should be the one who should truly apologize, because I was in a hurry trying to revert LGBT-related vandalism due to the recent court rulings, but I checked your contributions later on and I realized they were all legit. I am truly sorry for that ChiGuy. I thought some random vandal was adding a whole bunch of people to a category without a source supporting it, but it turned out to be good faith edits. You are given a cheeseburger as a result. By the way this page is for discussing my to-do list so I moved this to my own talk page. Feel free to reuse the banner that I put on my talk page and userpage. --Drew7890 (talk) 07:11, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
