CSD

edit

Can u explain me that why is Darshna Vaghela not important. He is deputy mayor and the importance is stated clearly. Please remove the deletion template. And read carefully WP:CSD. Be vigilant and sincere in tagging new pages. Yasht101  07:29, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

It is not done to revert an established editor's change, calling them a vandal, unless there's a very very good reason. Tony (talk) 07:40, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Just cuz someone removes something, it doesnot mean that its vandalism. Please read WP:Vandalism properly. And dont missuse WP:CSD and article templates. You are a newcomer. I recon that dont get into serious editing. Do minor edits first. Then it will eventually improve ur knowledge and then begain slowly. Remember Slow and steady wins the race. If u continue to missuse wikipedia, even u can be blocked if u do some drastic mistake which annoys others. I dont want to critize but ur edits are not proper.

Inappropriate CSD nominations

edit

Hi there, thank you for patrolling new pages. You do not appear to be sufficiently familiar with the criteria for speedy deletion and have made quite a few inappropriate nominations.

  • This did not fit in any of the criteria. It had context and content, and was not nonsense.
  • How does this lack sufficient context?
  • This had sufficient context to identify the subject of the article – and tagging for A1 nearly the same second the article was created is frowned upon, so please wait ten minutes next time.

I am asking you to please stop making CSD nominations until you are sufficiently familiar with the criteria for speedy deletion. Inappropriate CSD tagging can discourage new users, which is not good. Please leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions regarding CSD. Bmusician 09:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nothing Less Nothing More

edit

Sorry, it's a record not a band. A7 covers bands, but not their recordings. As it's not spammy, it'll have to be PROD. Peridon (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'd go with the advice given above by Yasht and Bmusician (although I'd use full words...). Study the categories - A7 (bio, band, corp, group, inc etc) is only for people and groups of people - OK, named animals like Herbert the Hamster (but not a species of hamster), and webcontent you use online (but not things downloaded and used at home, as you can A7 herbertthehamster.nuts but not the new Hamster Internet Browser on free download from herbertthehamster.nuts). Complicated? Yes. And I'm an admin... Everyone makes mistakes at first - and later. I revert myself at times over CSD categories. Find a copy of the list of CSD categories, and keep it open as a page (or if you like tabs, as a tab). Refer to it before tagging. That's what I used to do when I was patrolling edits by new accounts, until I was sure. "When in doubt, don't" is good advice, and ask questions. The two above are good patrollers, or ask any admin you find doing CSD word. The ones we want to discourage are the spammers and vandals, not people trying to help. But we do request that you ask and listen... Peridon (talk) 16:06, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Inappropriate Twinkle revert

edit

Hello. Just wanted to warn you about this revert you made using Twinkle. The edit you reverted was not vandalism; your reversion actually reverted the page back to a bad version. That edit, along with these: [1], [2], [3], a number of edits that you marked as vandalism that were likely good faith, and bad speedy deletion tags indicate that you may not be ready to use Twinkle. Please review our policies on vandalism and speedy deletion before using Twinkle again. Repeated mistakes such as these can result in removal of your Twinkle privileges, and even a block for disruptive editing. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:19, 30 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi Mschilz20,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
