User:Crazymonkey1123/welcome

Could someone look at User:Crazymonkey1123/welcome and give me tips or tell me about things that need to be fixed or added onto it. Thanks. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 16:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

The 'how to use helpme' could be clearer; it tells them to 'type {{helpme}} below' - and, they'll thus type 'helpme' - not edit the page.

I don't like the ending, because it says nasty things, then 'welcome' ie Never vandalize, or you will get blocked. Remember to familiarize yourself with many of Wikipedia's policies. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! - see what I mean?

I'll leave the helpme here for other views.  Chzz  ►  19:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree that the bit about vandalism could perhaps be worded less harshly. I also question why you include the bit about {{adminhelp}}. Many new users don't really know what the administrators here do, and I can see it causing users to choose it just because it seems more authoritative. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 19:42, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I am still open to a few more opinions. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 20:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

At the end, please expand some of the acronyms (see WP:WOTTA for more information).

You've got too much information on that template. Currently there are 12 links to various policies and pages, and for a new user this may be too much. If someone presented me with this, I'd give it one quick look and either ignore it completely, or just avoid editing in fear of violating any policies. I'd suggest linking to the five pillars instead of the policies you've linked at the end, and drop as many links as possible from the list you've created. Does the tutorial say the same as the manual? If so, drop one of them. Is the FAQ/questions/new contributors help page more or less duplicates of each other? Drop two of them. And so on. Try to keep it short, new users want to edit, not read a bunch of policies :) Bjelleklang - talk 00:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I am taking one more opinion, so if you leave a comment, please mark {{helpme}} as {{helpme-helped}}. Thanks. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 15:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Minor suggestions:

• Put a line break in the link-list and group them as best you can. Or remove 1-2 more.
• Remove '(or if you are editing without your account, your IP address)'.
• Change 'I recommend you read The Five Pillars for Wikipedia' and put it as one of the links in the list.
• Change 'If you make a mistake, Don't be ashamed and learn from it.' To '...[don't worry about it] and learn from it'.

My suggestions. Nice otherwise, Ocaasi ^c 16:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

License

Greetings. I was pointed to your userpage because a user had a concern over the statement you have: "I hereby license all of my contributions (other than images and contribs to my userspace) under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. The images I upload will have their license info on the file page it is located at. My contribs and pages in my userspace are licensed under the Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license." The problem with this is this license is not acceptable for Wikipedia. When you press edit and save it, "you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license." You are welcome to dual license your contributions, but you are not allowed to make it more restrictive (so using CC-PD is fine, but CC-ND or CC-NC is not allowed).

Happy now? Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 03:56, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

That works. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:57, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

User:Crazymonkey1123/signature

We do not allow templates in signatures. See Wikipedia:Signatures#Transclusion_of_templates .©Geni 00:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

It is a de-facto template since it is being used as a template and the reason we don't allow transclusions of templates in signatures still apply.©Geni 01:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Well then the page doesn't need protecting does it?©Geni 01:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't want some dumb ass IP coming along and vandalizing it. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 01:15, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

so use the standard sig system. At it's current size the sig should fit.©Geni 01:20, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

editor review

I never got what I was really looking for at Wikipedia:Editor review/Crazymonkey1123. Could someone give me a review not concerning IRC please? Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 00:49, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking through your contribs right now and will post a review shortly. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 00:55, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 00:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I assume you're watching the page, but I just thought I'd let you know I added it. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 01:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I am looking for at least two more reviews before I take it off the backlog.

Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 00:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

You already have three reviews. People who keep an eye on editor review can review you, or you can add {{editor review}} to your userpage to try to attract attention to it there. I'm not removing the helpme, but I would appreciate it if you did so. It's distracting from the other helpmes, and is probably not going to garner you much more attention. Thank you. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 01:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

mistake on your talk page banner

you have a blank space between Never make personal attacks and never advertise.--Breawycker (talk to me!) Review Me! 01:25, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I looked at User_talk:Crazymonkey1123/Editnotice and the blank space is not there, but it is where the edit notice is showed. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 01:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Dear Crazymonkey1123…

My son is only 9 years old. He, BOTH, innocently & INTELLIGENTLY managed to create his own article for “Transformers Legends of Destiny”. In this article, he attempted to share a potential game “concept” of his very own. I am, not only proud but, IMPRESSED by his talent, confidence, intelligence, literacy, creativity & determination to TRY. I am not, however, IMPRESSED by your less than sympathetic approach to a little boy! Perhaps, in the future, you should ENCOURAGE children that hope to trail in the paths of yourself…and those like you. Our children are our future. Our children look to "role models”…oddly (in this very case) you are one of them. I hope that this message will help you to take a more PERSONAL approach to the very future you tenderly hold in your hands…with the very words you write. There is NO reason to report my son. Your “deleting” him sends message enough. BTW, maybe you COULD HAVE offered other forums where his work might have been welcomed.

Thanks for your time, Flareblitz157’s MOM01:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)~ PS: My son is “on the spectrum” (if you cared enough to read this far) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flareblitz157 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

MY SON IS “FLAREBLITZ157"

I would like to know if you are a site administrator on Wikipedia. Regards, Mom of “Flareblitz157” PS: The sooner I get to the bottom of this situation (REALITY speaking) the better. Again, this involves MY 9-year old child, a very bright 9-year old child. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flareblitz157 (talk • contribs) 01:13, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

AIV report

Why did you report User:68.50.145.86 to AIV? If you look at xyr edit history, xe has removed any promotional content xe may have added. Xe hasn't made a promotional edit to that page since you warned xyr. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 17:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Lupin

Ask directly on Lupin's talk page. Please do not use the <helpme> tag because it gets in the way for the people on the help channel on IRC. DS (talk) 23:52, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

{{Nothere|1=only sporadically visits Wikipedia|3=since [[September 11]], [[2009]]}} is on his talk page. That is why I did not leave the problem notice there.

GrayMatter

I didn't create the GrayMatter page and I don't understand why you repeatedly put the speedy deletion notice back. Explain yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.254.72 (talk) 04:08, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Keep the speedy deletion tag on the article. An administrator will come around and decide if the article should be deleted or not. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^{T or M}/_{Sign mine} 04:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you make the decision for yourself, and read the article and investigate before editing it and putting a speedy deletion notice on it? This is a warning, if you continue this behavior you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 68.174.254.72 (talk) 04:13, 9 May 2011 (UTC)andsoad182
