WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT COUPLES

HOW THE HELL IS IT DISRUPTIVE — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonniewheelerbronnie (talkcontribs) 22:31, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonniewheelerbronnie: You keep adding that couples thing after multiple people have told you to stop. That is considered disruptive. Please read our consensus policy. -- Gestrid (talk) 22:37, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But I like couples what is so bad about it? I don't undertstand. It's not like it's inappropriate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonniewheelerbronnie (talkcontribs) 22:38, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And you guys deleting what I have to say is disruptive to. So there stupid — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonniewheelerbronnie (talkcontribs) 22:39, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonniewheelerbronnie: We follow policies here. We're just following the rules. Also, your addition is unsourced. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:42, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Bonniewheelerbronnie: We also have a policy called the Three-Revert Rule, which you just ran over with a sixteen-wheeler. (Although, I do realize you weren't warned about that policy.) Seeing as how you've been indefinitely blocked, we can continue this on your talk page if you want to. It's currently the only page you can edit. (Just a warning that an administrator can turn that ability off, too, if the need arises.) -- Gestrid (talk) 23:01, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Hi gestrid. thanks. i thought that i had and certainly meant to sign my post. i meant no disrespect. ~ jed Jedherman 05:53, 17 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedherman (talkcontribs)

It's ok. A lot of new editors make the mistake. By the way, your signature appears to be broken. Can you please go to Special:Preferences and, under "Signature" on the first tab, make sure "Treat the above as wiki markup" is unchecked? That should fix your signature. -- Gestrid (talk) 05:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, Jedherman, I suggest you try out our tutorial, The Wikipedia Adventure. It's an admittedly cheesy way to learn about the tools we have available to edit Wikipedia. Click the link above to get started. Note that it takes about an hour, so make sure you set aside enough time to do it in one sitting. -- Gestrid (talk) 06:01, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've been an editor since 2008! I've tried to understand I promise. I tried to fix my signature and my user page. I have no clue if I was successful. Thanks again Jed Herman (talk) 06:07, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jedherman: You were successful. It's working now. Also, I still suggest you try The Wikipedia Adventure if you haven't already. I've been here for about five years and still learned some new things about editing. -- Gestrid (talk) 06:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, alright, since you've been so kind;-) Thank you again. Jed Herman (talk) 06:19, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Identifying admins

Just an FYI: I saw that ThePlatypusofDoom had provided the link to Special:ListUsers to identify admins. Alternately, you can add a script to your personal common.js page that will automatically highlight admin signatures - although some people find those highlights to be distracting, and if someone uses highlighting in their custom signature, it can result in some confusion. Documentation can be found at User:Theopolisme/Scripts/adminhighlighter. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 00:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Barek. That'll help with identifying admins. -- Gestrid (talk) 00:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Widr! -- Gestrid (talk) 04:45, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article Draft Space

Hey. You recently moved my article Hannah Stocking to draft. How do I moved it to article space in the future when I'm done with it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willybeez (talkcontribs) 23:56, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Willybeez}. The way to move pages and their associated talk pages is simple. If you look in the upper-right hand corner of Wikipedia's website, you should see a menu near the search bar that says "More". Click on it, and, by default, the only option available is "Move". Click it, fill out the form, and click "Move". There are some special things about moving that you should know about. For one, if you were to move a page from article space to draft space (like I just did with your article), you would just select "Draft" from the dropdown and would not change the title itself to read "Draft:ARTICLE NAME". After the move, that would produce "Draft:Draft:ARTICLE NAME". Also, if you create "Draft talk:Hannah Stocking", the talk page for the draft, you'll be given an additional option to "Move associated talk page" (or something like that). You should always check that box.
Alternatively, you can always ask a more experienced editor to do the move for you.
Also, I'd like to let you know that I've also requested speedy deletion (see WP:R2) of the redirect my moving the page created, so, by the time your article is ready, you should be able to move the page back to its original name.
I hope that wasn't too complicated for you.

Speedy Deletion

Please re-visit Alzheimer's Society of Ireland that you tagged for Speedy Deletion (notability) - there are three independent references added (from the Irish Government Health Authority, The Irish Revenue Service and the Irish Times newspaper) and compare with article on similar charity Irish Cancer Society a long standing article with less independent references Xyzspaniel (talk) 08:29, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I believe only an administrator can remove that tag. Anyone can nominate a page for speedy deletion, but only admins can accept or decline one. You'll just have to wait for an administrator to remove it, Xyzspaniel. -- Gestrid (talk) 12:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've reviewed the article and removed the A7 speedy delete tag. I won't make any judgements on the notability of the topic, but enough of a credible claim for significance is made for it to not be eligible for speedy deletion.--Slon02 (talk) 15:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Gestrid and admin Slon02 I hope to add more including their logo (when I get their permission to do so) in the next few days - With an aging population in Ireland dementia is a much mentioned subject in these parts, especially now as it's close to the governments annual budget speech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xyzspaniel (talkcontribs) 23:05, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Akira Film 2016

Hi Gestrid - yes you did make a mistake by deleting the addition done to Akira Film 2016 . in fact the said blog post has been trending on the internet with regards to the success of the film . I have reposted it. Hope you do not delete it now :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahuldeo26 (talkcontribs) 12:07, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rahuldeo26. First of all, when you reply here, please read the stuff in the yellow box at the top before doing so.
Second, I did undo your edit a second time just now because external links of that sort do not belong in the reference section. (One of the now three times you've been reverted was by a bot.)
Third, please read WP:3RR before adding that again.

Boj

I would like to say that my edits to Boj (TV series) are by no means nonconstructive. I am simply adding more information about the characters. 47.152.93.124 (talk) 04:56, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
