Publishing articles

Hello, I seem to not be able to publish my articles(please view my sanbox), and I read that I need to be autoconfirmed. As you can see via my sandbox I have created a couple articles, and my request is that you as an admin would with you rights give me an autoconfirm right so that I can publish my articles and more, thank you! --VitalPower (talk) 15:25, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The autoconfirmed user right is automatically granted after your account is 4 days old and you've made 10 edits. I would highly suggest going through the WP:AFC process to publish your first articles, as the assistance given through that process by experienced editors can drastically reduce the likelihood that your articles are deleted for not adhering to Wikipedia's policies. Otherwise, you'll need to wait a few more days before you can publish on your own. Best of luck. clpo13(talk) 16:04, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clpo13 Hi Cody, thank you for responding. I know that I may wait 4 days to get this right, however you as an admin could give me this right if I have a good reason, well: I 1. would like it to move my pages(either into or out of drafts), and 2. I would very like to use the bot called WP:Twinkle, I hope you know understand and could give me this right soley for my reasons, thank you. --VitalPower (talk) 16:14, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but accounts are very rarely confirmed outside the usual waiting period and then only for a very good reason. There are lots of articles on Wikipedia that you can contribute to right now, but you'll need to wait before you can publish your own. clpo13(talk) 16:32, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clpo13 I understand and respect your saying Cody. Regarding WP:Twinkle that is a bot I would very like to use, for when I create drafts, fix my articles as well as them already in Wikipedia etc. - Soley on this reason, may you give me the autoconfirmed right, or as an admin could you somehow give me a right to us the Twinkle bot, I have read that I cannot activate it until I am autoconfirmed or an admin via request gives it to me. thank you --VitalPower (talk) 16:35, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Since Twinkle has the potential for being used abusively by vandals, access to it is restricted only to editors who meet the autoconfirmed criteria. As with article creation, early access to it is restricted to very rare circumstances, usually only when a legitimate alternate account of an existing, experienced user requests it. I understand wanting to dive right in to Wikipedia, but four days is not a long time, and there are many things you can do without being autoconfirmed. Take a look at Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia for more on what you can help out with right now. clpo13(talk) 17:42, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I have 2 questions 1.How do I get a cool user page with userboxes that say I am intrested in x and I live x and I speak x etc? 2. How do I archive my talk page which I have seen many users do, usually when I am on Wiki users page they have lots of cool things, I usually just copy theirs but if someone could shortly explain on how to arhive that would be great. --VitalPower (talk) 17:59, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  1. You may want to check out WP:Userboxes/Galleries which links to galleries for various kinds of userboxes sorted by topic. WP:Userboxes also has some information on displaying them in a nice way. And there is WP:User page design center which deals with user page design beyond userboxes.
  2. There are various ways to archive talk pages; personally I do "manual cut&paste", but there are also some bots that can be summoned to automatically archive talk pages. Help:Archiving a talk page explains the details. Huon (talk) 18:10, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Huon Thanks for the answer! Means a lot!--VitalPower (talk) 18:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your NACs

Welcome to Wikipedia!

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd strongly recommend you refrain from closing AfDs for at least a little while. You've skipped some steps, and I'm not entirely convinced that GNG is met based on the arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zehra Say. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:27, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Power~enwiki - Hello sir, yup I have read the AfD intro, NAC policy and req. etc. - My reason on that closing was soley for a conc. reachpoint, as you can see it has been live for 7days(in about 1-2 hours) and the verdict was a keep based on WP:GNG. I do however think I should have done some self-digging myself, but again, my reason was soley on the verdict reason of the discussion. --VitalPower (talk) 21:31, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted your NAC

I have explained my understanding of NAC and per policy WP:NAC #1, I will however follow your advice and only from now on close AfDs within my expertise such as athletics(soccer) etc. Thank you for your opinions. --VitalPower (talk) 23:46, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the above NAC as inappropriate. Again, do not close discussions until you have more experience, and never use a supervote in a closing rationale. Feel free to remove this note like you removed my previous post, but do not paste my post to my user talk page. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 23:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Thank you for your enthusiasm and desire to contribute but please do not close discussions until you have spent more than a day becoming familiar with Wikipedia and its policies and guidelines. One of the quickest ways to get a poor reputation here is by making bad closes, particularly when you have no experience editing here. For instance you should have an established record !voting at WP:AFD before you start closing discussions, even then it is best to let an administrator do so. Also, closing discussions as you have at WP:TEAHOUSE can cut off discussion with new users, prevent them from asking follow-up questions and may come off as rude or abrupt. Spend some time editing and participating in the various processes here. There is a vast difference between reading Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and being experienced with how they are applied in practice. Thank you. Jbh Talk 00:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
JbhunleyI understand. I will only close AfDs within my expertise or certain closes, regarding overall discussion in teahouse I will only close old ones, sounds good? --VitalPower (talk) 00:33, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No. Stop making closes until you have actually participated in WP:AFD and established a track record. Do not make closes at TEAHOUSE or other boards until you have an understanding of what should be closed and what should be left to be archived off by the maintenance bot.
It is great that you want to participate in the maintenance of Wikipedia but it is not helpful if another editor must follow you around to make sure you did no improper closes because you do not understand the processes. Several editors have brought up issues with you here about closing discussions so it is quite likely that the next step will be bringing the matter up at WP:ANI. That would be unfortunate because it would indicate that your enthusiasm overwhelmed your judgment. Good judgment, along with a practical familiarity with the application of Wikpedia's policies and guidelines, is key to making good closes. While failure to exercise good judgment helps no one.

I agree completely with Jbhunley. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:28, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone Jbhunley,Cullen328. In light of these messeges, I will respectfully follow them and 1. not close Afds debates, 2. not close discussion in the Teahouse. I hope you guys are happy with my following of your suggestions. --VitalPower (talk) 08:30, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some bubble tea for you!

Welcome and thanks for your recent edits. While closing an afd, it is a good practice to also add a link on the article talk page Template:Old AfD multi.
DBigXray Hello sir! Thanks for the welcome, yup I will keep that in mind from now on when I close an AfD. - Regarding archives I soley created them since I saw many Wikipedians having them, I will however take a look into ClueBot as I myself know coding a bit. Thanks for the tips and have a great day at ya! --VitalPower (talk) 22:52, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello VitalPower ,

We do not usually close discussions at the Teahouse. We encourage follow-up questions and input from other experienced editors. These are open-ended discussions until they are archived. The only exception is when someone is being disruptive or obviously trolling. Please let more experienced editors intervene in such cases. Thank you.

What's your original account?

What is your original account and why are you using this now? It is very obvious that this isn't your first account, let alone your first 48 hours on the project, and you're already picking up fights with people. —SpacemanSpiff 01:40, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SpacemanSpiff this is my first one, I have no other accounts, but I am good with coding and when I edit I usually just copy&paste edits that experienced admins do, ex: archviving,reply/pinging, discussion, afds, all of these are tasks that I have learnt my self by viewing the source code that Wikipedia offers--VitalPower (talk) 08:26, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
