Talk:Athabasca University Students' Union

edit

I have reverted your additions to this talk page on the assumption that they were test edits. If you wish to do further testing, I recommend using the sandbox. Thanks, Resolute 16:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I undid the edit because it seemed like a test edit. If it was meant to be serious, I apologize for not explaining futher. However, your nomination had no chance of succeeding. For an article to gain Good Article status, it has to meet several criteria. Given the almost complete lack of references and numerous maintenance tags on the article, it was a quick-fail candidate anyway. There is no chance the article would pass as a GA in its current state. I certainly welcome you to work on the article, however, I recommend you read the the good article criteria linked above as it will offer a guideline of what is expected for this rank.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Athabasca University Students' Union, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Athabasca University Students' Union with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Hallows AG(talk) 19:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

In fairness, these edits were not made with any harmful intent so I am not a big fan of the templated warnings. However, Twitter links are generally discouraged project wide. It isn't anything specific against you, or Athabasca University, Goatbags. Resolute 20:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
 

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Athabasca University Students' Union. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Me-123567-Me (talk) 23:06, 15 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
