User talk:Una poca de gracia

Edit summaries
I'm sorry if this wastes someone's time, but is it possible to change edit summaries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Una poca de gracia (talk • contribs)
 * Unfortunately, no, but you can turn on a preference so that you'll be reminded the next time you forget to type one in. Xiner (talk, email) 19:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Ban vs block
What's the difference between a ban and a block?
 * A ban is where a person is blocked indefinitely. A block is where a person is blocked for a certain peroid of time. (see here for more information). Real96 05:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, that isn't quite right. A block is just a technical measure to disable a certain account or IP address from editing for some length of time. If an account is banned indefinitely (usually meaning permanently), then they are perfectly free to create a new account and start over. A ban, however, is a judgement by either the community or the arbitration committee to remove some or all editing priveleges. If a user is banned, they are not allowed to do anything, not even make suggestions on their talk page like a blocked user can do. And if someone is indefinitely banned, then they are not welcome on the project ever again, and all new edits made by them are immediately reverted, regardless of merit. -Amarkov moo! 05:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Formerly Featured Articles
If an article is a former featured article, why not simply revert to the featured version?

 * Oh, and you should always leave ~ after each of your edits to talk pages. { Slash -|- Talk } 05:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Cite versus verify
{helpme|What is the difference between citing and verifying?}


 * This question may be appropriate at Citing sources. I think they can mean the same thing - citing is finding a source to back up a fact you have added to an article. Finding a source is verifying a fact you have added in an article - pretty much the same thing.--Commander Keane 06:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Question
{helpme|Will I be blocked if I continue to ask these questions but don't make any other edits?}


 * Well, it would look a little suspicious but hopefully people will assume good faith and you will not get blocked. However, if you do have more questions the Help desk is the best place to ask, people who answer {helpme}'s generally look there anyway.--Commander Keane 07:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
