Editing at the Teahouse

edit

May I know what you tried doing here? First of all you should not have closed any discussion here. You could have given your opinion as a comment or reply. And you are not supposed to remove content from the Teahouse, as you did with my comment. Can you please specify what you wanted to do there? ― ItcouldbepossibleTalk 08:08, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Itcouldbepossible: Apologies for removing your comment. I saved over an edit conflict. Naleksuh (talk) 17:43, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Naleksuh Ok no problem. But please be careful from next time when you are choosing which edition to keep. Thanks. Merry Christmas. ― ItcouldbepossibleTalk 04:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Two things

edit

Hello Naleksuh, I saw your post at the Teahouse and noticed two things:

  • Signatures: Signatures go at the end of your post. You leave your signature by typing 4 ~'s like so: ~~~~ (as it appears when viewing this page), and the software behind Wikipedia will do the rest for you. You can also press   in the toolbar while your cursor is at the end of your post.
  • Minor edits: The minor edit checkbox is reserved for uncontroversial edits that don't need to be seen and where its okay when they don't appear on auto-generated lists such as Special:RecentChanges or the watchlist. Leaving a new post on a talkpage is never a minor edit.

@Victor Schmidt Actually they had messed up with the closing of a Teahouse post. See this and this. They also closed my question. So, I corrected everything. I added the section "Comment by Naleksuh" there. And since, they had not written it themself, I did not sign it. That is what had happened. I hope you understand me. Merry Christmas. ― ItcouldbepossibleTalk 15:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Naleksuh, I'd like to monitor the link additions to Wikipedia for the user's website for a while, to see if the promotion is implemented by someone. Could you email me the URL if one has been specified? Thanks in advance! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:30, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

@ToBeFree: I did not ask for, nor receive, the website in question. Naleksuh (talk) 17:44, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
@ToBeFree: Just realized my last reply may have came off as a bit rude. To clarify, I have never used the Teahouse before, until a user PMed me on IRC at 11:30 PM on Christmas Eve asking me for help with Wikipedia citing their website. I gave them WP:CITE and WP:RS explaining that in order for Wikipedia to cite their website it needs to be credible. They said something like "Oh, it's okay if it's not credible" (okay for you, but not okay for us..). I also mentioned that MediaWiki uses nofollow links and it will not boost their SEO, at which point I never heard back. It sounds like I shouldn't have closed the Teahouse discussion, I know that on other places that is done but maybe not there. Just didn't want to spend Christmas bothering with it, but now I know how Teahouse works. Hope you are doing well. Naleksuh (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, no worries! My message also wasn't about any mistakes done when replying to them. I had just hoped that the user has e-mailed you a link to their website, and I'd have checked if that link appears somewhere on Wikipedia. It was just an idea, nothing necessary. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Rude

edit

I'm sorry, I saw you said you had COVID symptoms, and meant to say get well soon in my reply, and then forgot by the time I got to the end of my sentence, and now it looks like I'm a coldhearted jerk who doesn't care! Get well soon. Not rude, just increasingly forgetful. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:11, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I thought you ignored it because this was too serious a project or something. I am feeling much better today but still a little out of it. I hope you are doing alright, stay safe. Naleksuh (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

XRV/AARV

edit

Look, I get that you don't like the acronym XRV, but going around unilaterally changing it isn't the way to go about raising that. And honestly, I think the more pressing issue is people trying to smother the process before it gets going, not what three or four letters we use to link to it. I'd rather not have to hold a straw poll about such a trivial and subjective issue when all that is going on, so can you please give the people who suggested and created the process the courtesy of letting them picking its initial name? – Joe (talk) 08:41, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough. For full disclosure, when you reverted my page moves you didn't move the associated talk pages. Just letting you know incase you want to move those too. Naleksuh (talk) 16:10, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

The internal comment at {{XRV-notice}}

edit

Hi Naleksuh. You are mistaken about the internal comment at {{XRV-notice}}. Its purpose is to let the recipient of the substituted text know where it came from, in case there was an error or they simply wanted to edit the message to improve it. It is not an attribution for where the message itself originally came from. The text of XRV-notice is original free text, created for use in the template and the error was made by me when I mistakenly added <!-- From template XFD-notice -->[1] but should have added <!-- From template XRV-notice --> instead.--John Cline (talk) 00:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I see. It's been updated now. Sorry for my mistake, oops. Naleksuh (talk) 00:09, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary I did. Naleksuh (talk) 18:44, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
"stop tagbombing" isn't a valid edit summary, norna valid reason to remove valid maintenance tags. You also removed other valid content without explanation. BilCat (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Single source automatically includes includes needs more sources; having both is tag bombing Naleksuh (talk) 19:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Actually, the "needs more sources" tag means that there is unsourced content on the page, or content which is not supported by the provided sources. The "single source" tag means that the sourced content is largely based on one source. It is not "tagbombing" to have individual tags covering an article's different problems. - ZLEA T\C 00:14, 20 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Jose Alvarado (basketball)

edit

The source does not state how "Grand Theft Alvarado" came to be. Please cite a source if and when you restore. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 05:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Which edit would that be? So far as I know, I removed content from the page (removing vandalism), not added new unsourced content. So I am confused. Naleksuh (talk) 06:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Doubt

edit

You who are the admin of the Miraheze interface. Part of the click from there that rules everything. Just a question. How do you agree that I am blocked by edit war and Agent Isai is not? Strange huh? After all, he got into it and I use Rollback for edits that weren't vandalism or spam. --YellowFrogger Pixial (talk) 17:04, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
