Welcome GermanGamer77!

I am new here, and I would like to say that people are awesome, and here is where we chat about things. I am a history buff. And I also have a German work ethic, and erase and replace errors faster than you can say "Deutschlandlied". GermanGamer77 (talk) 03:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! GermanGamer77, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 03:28, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that most of your recent contributions, such as the edits you made to World War I, do not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make 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. Please read up on Wikipedia policy & editing, particularly about Verifiability. From your comments it seems you do want to be a productive member of the community, but currently you are on the road to getting banned quickly. Try to come up to speed on how to edit constructively. gwendy (talk) 03:52, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't know how all this works, I am very new to this, and really DON'T want to be banned. Will anyone be able to help me avoid being banned?

Thank you in advance. --GermanGamer77 (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How about slowing down: you're making edits to topics that insert unsourced or just plain wrong information or commentary. You can't do that. So stop and take the time to learn about reliable sourcing, verifiability and neutral point of view. Acroterion (talk) 17:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Acroterion! This has helped me a LOT, and I just want to help Wikipedia. I just need to know how to make citations. --GermanGamer77 (talk) 17:27, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again! I just successfully made an edit on Hannibal's crossing of the Alps! I hope it's a legitimate source. :) --GermanGamer77 (talk) 17:39, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again, @GermanGamer77:, Try taking the Wikipedia Adventure tutorial. It turns learning about how to edit on Wikipedia into a game, and it really helped me out when I first started. – gwendy (talk) 17:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :) --GermanGamer77 (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on FC Bayern Munich (seniors) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 04:31, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Soviet partisan detachment 1941–44, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Partisan. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I won't remove it. Thank you as well. Is it undone?

@GermanGamer77: If you see "bot" in someone's username, it means they are a robot and won't respond to you . I took a look and removed the second Wikilink that was at fault. Typically, you only want to link once in the article according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. One other note, don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~ which will be replaced by your username and date. This will help people know when and where you comment–even on your own page! You can also use a : on a new line to indent your replies, like I did with this one. I'm to see things are going better for you! – gwendy (talk) 02:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators are the guardians of the Encyclopedia; it's not an easy job. Admins know the Manual of Style, and wield the Policies and Guidelines in their mop. Wikipedians who become Admins also typically have years of experience. –Vami_IV✠ 01:21, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Gwendy. I need a WikiWolf cub pack leader. Can you be one? GermanGamer77 (talk) 15:47, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While I am happy to continue checking in on you and answering questions , you'd probably do even better to request adoption from someone that edits in the same subject areas as you. There's a list at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters. In particular it looks like Target360YT (talk · contribs), who enjoys military history, or DatGuy (talk · contribs), who enjoys gaming and fighting vandalism, might be a good fit for you. Leave a message on their talk page! – 𝕘wendy | ☎  16:11, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

B-but Target360YT (talk · contribs) is gone! What do I do, Gwendy? GermanGamer77 (talk) 01:59, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you contacted DatGuy, & he responded to you on his talk page. I'd explain that you're hoping to be adopted and go from there – 𝕘wendy | ☎  10:50, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grüß Gott, GermanGamer77. I noticed your edit to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany, and I would like to welcome and congratulate you on your decision to join the WikiProject. While on the topic, I see that you are new to Wikipedia, and have had something of a rough start here. Do not worry - this is perfectly normal for Wiki Wolf cubs. I should just like to advise you to follow the advice other editors have left on your talk page, and read our Manual of Style.

Now that you're on board with the project, the other advice I can offer a brand new editor such as yourself is to seek adoption from an experienced user. If you can speak German, I can highly recommend for your first few dozen (or even hundred) edits 'from experience translating articles from German into English. One place you can easily find pages readily needing translation is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, which is a WikiProject devoted to creating pages for women, typically by translating them from other language Wikipedia. Assuming that, as you are apparently Bavarian, I would recommend the German by-nationality section of WiR. Additionally, you can help Wikipedia:WikiProject Military History by translating German Wikipedia pages; you can find the backlog here. –Vami_IV✠ 01:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but... 1. I speak only some German and not much 2. I'm not Bavarian. I just like Bavaria. Will you be my pack leader? It's actually Lower Saxony. Not Bavaria. And see my user page for more accurate info on me. Thanks anyway, Vami IV. GermanGamer77 (talk) 13:26, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I'm sorry I didn't initially understand your question left on the Teahouse page today. I've tried to follow it up with a few suggestions there. Hopefully you'll get some better answers from other Teahouse helpers! I'm personally not aware of any German-focussed 'months', though I do know many WikiProjects often look for help in translating articles from one language to another, and I can see you've had some suggestions on your Talk Page already. If you do have specific things you'd like to help out with, but don't know where to start, feel free to leave more details of what you seek and we'll do our best to help you if we can.

Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.

I need help, I can't even request assistance from other editors! WHY WAS I BLOCKED FROM EDITING! I'm innocent! And who is this spencerislit? It won't let me add new sections on talk pages, so I need help. I'm a WikiKnight. It says on my page! Please help if you see this, GermanGamer77 23:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You were never blocked. What I suspect happened is that you were on a network that has been abused by someone else. Admins will sometimes block an IP or range of IPs to prevent ongoing vandalism like what Spencerislit caused. This will occasionally catch innocent users. When it does, either switch to a different network or follow the instructions at WP:IPEXEMPTCONDITIONS. By the way, when asking for help you would do better by posting {{Help me}} than relying on stalkers like me. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:27, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
