Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at WP:ITNC, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Hello, I'm Excirial. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 18:59, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

ITN

We obviously got off on the wrong foot big time. By all means, I encourage you to nominate stories you feel are worthy of posting. If you can do so without making insulting comments about Americans, or how the story would be posted if it happened in the US, etc., we won't have any further problems.

If you look at my actual contributions (I supplied a list in the ITN thread), you'll see 19/21 stories I wrote this year are not US-based items. Most of these would have never been posted if I didn't write the stories. I do read American news source (which believe it or not does report international news quite well), but I also regularly check Australian, Indian, and South African news. Between these, I see most important stories - South America is the only region I rarely see stories from, which is due to my inability to read Spanish, not intentionally omission.

In practical terms, I do more to combat systematic bias than almost anyone else (for "in the news", I mean. I am sure others do more in other areas.). As a measure of good faith, tell which which you'd rather I write - the vagina transplant story or the china water story - and I will write the article. (The vagina story is more likely to get the consensus to be featured, IMO.) Since I already wasted most of my evening arguing, it probably won't be tonight, but I will write the article. --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:51, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's really good. The excerpt "will need conducted" is missing the "to be" I think, but it looks really neat.

Currently theres a debate going on, on Israel v Palestine. Feel free to jump in. I'm taking a step back tonight, but it does interest me.

Even if you are not very interested in writing articles, please do feel free to make such minor changes yourself in the future. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:47, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Cheers. BTW the london marathon is on tomorrow and theres a slim chance manny pacquiao retires tonight.

the london marathon will definitely be bigger than the boat race here, if that makes any difference.

The London Marathon is on ITN/R - the list of articles posted every year. Retirements are usually opposed ("he could always un-retire later"), but Pac-man would be worth a try. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:14, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations

Since you are making a lot of nominations, I would suggest that you please properly link article titles within the blurb and bold the primary article being highlighted; this helps others to evaluate the blurb. 331dot (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indent

If you write a post that is a reply to another, it is customary to indent it with a colon once past that of the original poster, like this:

First poster

Second poster

Third poster

That helps keep the flow of the discussion and any side discussions that come up. 331dot (talk) 16:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

331dot - tell me you are on this chile thing, and i will happily step the f--- away from my laptop and leave it in your good hands. Otherwise I am playing catch up big time attempting to write an article that may serve as a positive source of information for the great many people affected and interested by this sad occurrence.77.101.41.108 (talk) 16:22, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you! And a biscuit.

Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm to the party, don't be put off by the moaners.
