== Tips ==

Please stop putting photographs into articles. You clearly have no idea what you're doing, how to do it, where they should go, and how they should be captioned.

*Not every photograph you take is worthwhile uploading to Commons. Some of them seem random and have no real subject. Take a look at the photos you take and be '''''selective''''' about which ones you upload.

*Not every image you upload needs to go into an article. You should never be asking the question "Which article should I put this in?" If the image doesn't cry out to be in an article, '''''don't force it into one'''''.

*Not every article needs more images. Look at the images already in the article. If yours isn't in some way better than the ones that are there, or doesn't cover a part of the article's subject that isn't already covered, '''''don't put your image in the article'''''.

*The name of a photograph is not what the '''''caption''''' of a photograph should be. The caption should '''''describe''''' what's in the photo, in relation to the subject of the article. An image with a non-descriptive caption can be worthless.

*'''''Do not alter photographs in a way that actively misrepresents what's in them''''', like turning an "F" train into an "L" train for no reason that I can see. Photographs are taken by people, so they can't help but have a viewpoint, and we are allowed to adjust them in ways that makes it easier for the reader to see what we're trying to present, but '''''photographs should should never <u>lie</u>''''', and an "L" train that was never an "L" train is a lie. Do not be deceptive with your images.

One other thing, not about images: don't correct misspelling if you don't actually know how to spell the word in question, and don't change words unless you are '''''absolutely certain''''' that the change you are going to make improves the writing. Please do not consider that what pops into your head to do is automatically a good thing, '''''think about it before you actually do it'''''.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Zee TV may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • | picture format = [[576i,(480i and 480p {only in NTSC countries}]] ([[16:9]]/[[4:3]]) ([[SDTV]])<br>[[1080i]] ([[HDTV]])

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 21:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

July 2014

I've just reverted several of your edits - one was a colloquial and trivial addition to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; another was the addition of a non-notable person to the Scott Albert disambiguation page. I'll post a welcome message with several useful links about how the encyclopedia works, and what material is appropriate to it - in the meantime I suggest you slow down a bit until you get the hang of things. Thanks! JohnInDC (talk) 23:33, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now just sought speedy deletion of an article you created about a non-notable hotel in New Jersey, created since you saw the above and added the facetious barnstar to my Talk page. Please stop adding nonsense to the encyclopedia. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 01:15, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you're going to add the periodic table of the elements as a reference to the article for every element, at least please take care to put the reference adjacent to the period of the preceding sentence, and put one or two spaces following it. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 01:28, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
how do you add the supperscript stating citation needed?Doorknob747 01:38, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Please stop mass-adding a general reference on Periodic Table. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 01:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:Overlink and stop adding massive links to every day / previously linked words. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 11:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think what you need to do is, rather than scan random articles for things that you think need to be linked; or scanning articles for things that you think need to be *un*linked, you should take a vacation from editing and read some of the links in the introductory message I posted a few days ago. Editing for its own sake - technical tweaks, just to make edits - is not a particularly good way to improve the encyclopedia. JohnInDC (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

so i have to propose an edit idea and get approval for the edit by other Wikipedia users. I didn't know that.

I looked at your edit to Rope, thanks for talking to me about it, but I reverted it because the article is about ropes made from fibers, not from metal ("metal ropes" are "cables") and suspension bridges are made from cables, not fiber ropes. And even if there is some suspension bridge somewhere made from fiber ropes, it is not a common use. JohnInDC (talk) 22:58, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References

Please slow down a bit with all the references you're adding. I'm not sure how many of them are actually reliable sources; others - like the Diners Club promotion - really aren't appropriate. I'm also not sure of links to dictionaries or encyclopedias. You might ask at WP:EAR for tips on what kinds of references to add. JohnInDC (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

R160s on the R train

Hi. I know that there are R160s that occasionally run on the R train because I saw one myself. However, I have reverted for now because your edit broke the template. Per consensus at the associated project, rolling stock information must be supported by reliable sources along with everything else that must be properly cited.

Your contributions...

Dude, just a tip, speak proper English. That's the policy of Wikipedia. Saying "the few F trains that run on the R46" doesn't make any sense at all. It's like you're saying that the R46 is a train route/service and the F is a car type or something. The F is a train route/service and the R46 is the type of car that it uses. Again, speak proper English. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 16:43, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Microsoft Windows

Hi, I'm jeh (talk · contribs). I noticed that you added a great many internal links ("Wikilinks") to this article. I have reverted your edit because I feel most of those WLs were unnecessary. Not every word or term that has a WP article should be Wikilinked from every article in which it appears. We do have some existing guidelines on this; please see WP:OVERLINK. I feel most of your links fell afoul of the first item there: "everyday words understood by most readers in context" should not be linked. As it says on that page, too many links make it difficult for the reader to identify links that are likely to significantly aid in understanding. Also, most terms should only be linked from an article once. Thank you for your consideration. Jeh (talk) 07:05, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Supercar category

Before you spend a lot of time adding the Category: Super cars to articles, please note that I have tagged the category for speedy deletion. The classification of "supercar" is not used on Wikipedia per WP:AUCL. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 17:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That does not make sense since a supercar is a class of a car, what you are trying to say is something similar to a category like cars with doors that can lift, that is a class, but according to what you are saying it is not a class, also if there is no such thing as a super car classification, then the wikipedia age called supercar should also be marked for speedy deletion. Also, if you look on the info boxes of all the super cars it says, type/classification , supper car. Are you saying those too should be removed. All I am saying is what you are baseing the action you took on the category page, is base on a statement that has no citations or sources stating that a super car is not a classification. So technically this action that you took is based of unsourced material. Super car is a real term and classification according to dictionaries. Doorknob747 17:09, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
If you disagree with Wikipedia's guidelines at WP:AUCL, you should discuss it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions and Category talk:Super cars to try to get the guidelines changed. However, currently "supercar" is too vague a classification on Wikipedia. Also, if an article infobox states supercar, then yes, it should be changed (and generally is) until WP:AUCL is changed.

Re: Sugggestions

Re your message: It is far too early for you to become an admin at this time. You do not currently have the experience required to pass an RfA with just under 600 edits. What you need to become an admin is broad experience in one of the areas that admins deal with. I suggest you read the guide at Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship and the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates.

I've deleted this page. It does not belong in mainspace because it is not an article. It looks like you are trying to create a a barnstar.

Furthermore, please note that you can't say that ONLY certain people can hand out a barnstar. That will get your page deleted. Karanacs (talk) 21:43, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

Please stop adding tags to articles. They are not helping anything. Ask at WP:HELPDESK for technical issues, and perhaps someone at WP:TEAHOUSE could offer suggestions. Johnuniq (talk) 23:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the tags that you are adding are not necessary. Tags are never required. Sometimes they are useful, to let people know that there are issues with an article that they may not have otherwise noticed. The tags you are adding are either wrong (you don't put a "lead needs improvement" tag on a stub article that doesn't have a lead) or obvious (a one-sentence section should be expanded, if possible). I second the recommendation that you find yourself at mentor at the WP:TEAHOUSE, and that you ask at WP:HELPDESK to fix your signing issue, because that is becoming highly annoying. Let the people at the teahouse know what type of editing you are interested in, and then they can help you get involved more appropriately. Please do not respond on my talk page, I am watching yours. If you want to call someone over to your talk page, you can ping them by typing {{u|username}}. Karanacs (talk) 01:51, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would add that excessive tagging, even if every single tag can be individually justified by WP policy or guidelines, can be determined to be disruptive and can therefore get you blocked. (And note that guidelines are not requirements.) Jeh (talk) 02:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not create empty talk pages

If you have something to say and there is no talk page yet, fine. But please do not create an empty talk page, as you did here, here, here, here, here, and many others, just so those pages will have talk pages. It appears that in your eagerness to contribute you are fixing many things that are not broken. The same is true of your tag-bombing. Please stop, and please take a little time to learn how things are done on WP before jumping in headlong with both feet. Thank you for your consideration. Jeh (talk) 02:06, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing the first sentence

I appreciate that you are trying to improve the encyclopedia. However, you need to understand that you are coming into a project that has been ongoing for many, many years and has established a very large set of established practices. Requiring that the first sentence of the lede be referenced to a dictionary entry is not among them. Remember, per WP:V, references are only required for material that has been challenged or is likely to be challenged. The opening sentence is hardly likely to be challenged, as the entire rest of the article will back it up, with refs (if it doesn't, the article has far more serious problems than lack of a ref for the first sentence). Particularly for articles like Door, Orchestra, etc.

I would also point out that while WP:V and WP:RS are policy, some of the other things you seem to have decided are "rules", like the minimum length of a section, are not. They are guidelines or even essays. Heck, even some policies can be overridden where there is good justification.

In general, if you have an idea about how WP articles should be written, formatted, etc., but you find that a large number of articles don't seem to follow your idea.. the problem is probably not with the articles, but rather with your understanding of WP policies, guidelines, and conventions. Just going in and editing every such article you encounter to match your idea is considered disruptive. It looks like you just found a rule and now are eagerly looking for articles that break it, so you can "contribute" by tagging it for improvement. Of course, such action is sometimes justified. But in almost all cases it would be better to put your suggestion in the form of a question on the article talk page, where more experienced editors can answer, before the article itself is changed.

For example, your question on the talk page at template:Orchestra was perfect. And thank you also there for signing your edit comment. (n.b.: The edit summary for a new talk page doesn't have to say "created talk page",that will be evident from the N in the edit history. In that particular case, "question re linking section labels" would have been a terrific edit summary.) (also n.b.: The answer to your question there might well be different for different templates.)

Sorry if I seem to be picking on you, but you've done minor damage to many articles that are on my watchlist, so naturally I look at your edit history to see what else you've done; many editors do that after they notice problem edits. (If I were doing it for the primary purpose of making your experience on WP unpleasant, that would fall afoul of WP:HOUNDING, but I'm not.) Thank you for your understanding. (I hope you understand!) I'll try to give it a rest now. Cheers... Jeh (talk) 09:49, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article is now looking really good. Thanks for creating it. Biscuittin (talk) 10:35, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

59th Street – Columbus Circle incident

I appreciate the addition, but I have removed it for now. It is not that notable, as subway incidents go (compare this incident to the 2005 fire at the WTC station, the Fix&Fortify work on the R train, or the 9/11 closures of the subway). Epic Genius (talk) 03:16, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Information icon 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) 18:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple posting

There is a guideline (WP:MULTI) but common sense should be sufficient to understand that posting essentially the same message at multiple locations is not desirable. Everyone has problems, and it would be nice if others would fix those problems, and nicer if they would do it right now. But we must resist the temptation to spam people about issues, particularly when the issues are not related to improving the encyclopedia. I am referring to messages like these—please don't do that.

April 2015

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did to Gundam Build Fighters Try, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please do not use fan sites such as MAHQ as your references to your edits. Areaseven (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey =)

I wanted to just say thank you for joining the anime and manga wikiproject. I have noticed other editors here are just giving you constructive criticism. I believe in WP:BITE, and want to say that I hope you aren't taking what they say personally. Anyways, I love anime and manga here and there are a whole lot of fan websites I would love to include in the articles. The problem is that when you really love a series your view may be different than another person's view on the same thing (WP:NPOV). So when it comes to fan sites if we link them in the article we here are accepting that the person who wrote the website is right.

Another thing to consider is notability, what is notability? Notability here on Wikipedia is a key thing, as sad as it is some people's opinions online ARE more important than others. For example, editors here are more likely to go with a source posted by someone who works in the anime industry rather than a blogger. I invite you to look here --> WP:A&M/RS these sources over time have deemed to be reliable and useful to the project. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get that summary hidden? It looks terrible. —KirtZMessage 15:34, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maserati MC12, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Successor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 08:56, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Areaseven (talk) 15:46, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

Information icon In a recent edit to the page Metre, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. NebY (talk) 06:27, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Original Barnstar
You wanted a barnstar. Congratulation, You got one

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga. 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:

  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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry if you feel your project is being rejected but you cant edit war here. I think you should explain the proposal a bit more before you post it if it is removed again. Remember more than 3 reverts or undoing of edits made by other editors on the same page in a 24 hour period can and do result in blocks. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

Please stop putting photographs into articles. You clearly have no idea what you're doing, how to do it, where they should go, and how they should be captioned.

  • Not every photograph you take is worthwhile uploading to Commons. Some of them seem random and have no real subject. Take a look at the photos you take and be selective about which ones you upload.
  • Not every image you upload needs to go into an article. You should never be asking the question "Which article should I put this in?" If the image doesn't cry out to be in an article, don't force it into one.
  • Not every article needs more images. Look at the images already in the article. If yours isn't in some way better than the ones that are there, or doesn't cover a part of the article's subject that isn't already covered, don't put your image in the article.
  • The name of a photograph is not what the caption of a photograph should be. The caption should describe what's in the photo, in relation to the subject of the article. An image with a non-descriptive caption can be worthless.
  • Do not alter photographs in a way that actively misrepresents what's in them, like turning an "F" train into an "L" train for no reason that I can see. Photographs are taken by people, so they can't help but have a viewpoint, and we are allowed to adjust them in ways that makes it easier for the reader to see what we're trying to present, but photographs should should never lie, and an "L" train that was never an "L" train is a lie. Do not be deceptive with your images.

One other thing, not about images: don't correct misspelling if you don't actually know how to spell the word in question, and don't change words unless you are absolutely certain that the change you are going to make improves the writing. Please do not consider that what pops into your head to do is automatically a good thing, think about it before you actually do it. BMK (talk) 20:21, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read these two pages, or have an adult explain them to you: WP:competence is required and WP:Wikipedia is not therapy. BMK (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
