A Newcomers Welcome

Season's Greetings SilentGanda, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet...so...Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills. A good habit to get into is using the edit summary. It will make re-discovering editing situations much easier as you go along. You might like some of these links and tips:

• some General guidance.
• Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary
• Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
• Take a look at Consensus of standards
• Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Buster Seven Talk 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Re: Request to lock Survivor: One World

Re your message: Unfortunately, it happens all of the time with Survivor articles. The attempted spoilers are almost always wrong as they were with 113.252.193.139 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) edits last week. I left 113.252.193.139 another warning and my guess is that they will be back again and eventually be blocked. This season, attempts at "spoiling" things have actually been fairly light.

Due to my heavy involvement with the article, I think it would be best if you requested any protection through regular channels at WP:RFPP to avoid any perception that my locking of the article is bias upon my part. I will block or protect Survivor articles where the situation is obvious (i.e., vandalism), but this borders on a content issue and I would prefer that the protection be made by an uninvolved admin. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Formula E

"Thanks" for deleting my contribution on Formula E tracks lengths, I spent just a few hours to find and calculate the data; now can you please also delete track length column also from Formula 1 page? It's not necessary and hard to maintain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_circuits

Question: where should people look for data to compare Formula E to Formula 1; they'd need something like... don't know... an encyclopedia?

--Jumpjack2 (talk) 08:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Then I suggest that instead of being passive-aggressive, you look into the intent of why it was done and figure out what you can do. Wikipedia has policies specifically against the attitude you've just displayed: Wikipedia:Assume good faith; Wikipedia:No personal attacks.

Your edit was undone because the intent was clearly to match the Formula E page, List of Formula E ePrix, to its equivalent Formula One page, List of Formula One Grands Prix, which you'll notice does NOT include the section you added. Perhaps you can make an equivalent Formula E page to List of Formula One circuits and work from there? Cheers! SilentGanda (talk) 11:03, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

You're obviously trying to hide data by deleting them from wikipedia; this can be clearly understood in your last reason for deleting my data: "Remove for violating Wikipedia:NOR. Provide a source.", but Wikipedia itself is the source (I just divided best times by tracks length, both taken from wikipedia), and I did not add any section, I just added data to a table. I hope some REAL administrator will punish or ban you as deserve, I just quit discussing with you because it's a total waste of time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jumpjack2 (talk • contribs) 10:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Once again, you failed to assume good faith with the undoing of your edits and instead made a personal attack on a fellow contributor. The corresponding Formula One page, List of Formula One circuits, provides for sources in the references section that can make the data in that page easily verifiable. Your edits to List of Formula E ePrix do not provide for any source. Furthermore, you just admitted that you committed original research when you "divided best times by tracks length" without providing a source, which is against Wikipedia policy.

Finally, it seems that you have already been warned by User:VQuakr (here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:VQuakr/Archives/2018#Oumuamua) against adding original research to Wikipedia, not to mention your poor writing style, which was also evident in your previous edit. Please learn to follow Wikipedia policy on citing sources and following the Manual of Style when contributing. SilentGanda (talk)

WP:NOPIPE and WP:DONOTFIXIT

I just wanted to bring the two above guides to your attention. In edits such as [1] you bypassed a redirect and force piped it. Please avoid doing this in the future, as linking to the redirect is the correct presentation. Thanks - Galatz גאליץ^{שיחה Talk} 21:04, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix on the F1 Polesitters page. I was searching for the revert button! Bamkin (talk) 14:23, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:SilentGanda/sandbox

Hello, SilentGanda. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Coping within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bongbong Marcos into List of presidents of the Philippines by education. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:37, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
