An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Page moves and disambiguation
Hi Beasting123. I've noticed you've made some page moves which is generally OK when needed, but you probably should not just being doing based on a feeling. For example, moving Samaraweera to Samaraweera (surname) might have been OK, but not sure why it was moved to Samaraweeran (Surname). Not only does it appear to be a different name, but the disambiguation also seems to be unnecesarily captiyalized. Disambiguation is not always necessary and when it is the page titles generally follow WP:DAB#Format and WP:TITLEVAR; so, "surname" didn't need to be capitalized any more that "football" in Brett Maher (American Football) and "meter breaststroke" in Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 Meter Breaststroke did, and "metre" didn't need to be changed to "meter".
Title disambiguation has been pretty well established over the years, so maybe checking to see how it has been done for other similar articles first would be a good idea. Page moves in general can be more complicated than they appear, so if you're going to change an article name it might be a good idea to be WP:CAUTIOUS the majority of the time and discuss on the article talk page; in some cases, the proposed change might have already been discussed and not done for a particular reason. Moreover, if you're going to be WP:BOLD and change an article name, you should also make any appropriate changes of the name within the article itself as well as needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:36, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kirbanzo. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Jinst, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. WP:BURDEN.

1946 Wyoming Cowboys football team
Hi -- I noticed that you created 1946 Wyoming Cowboys football team today. However, the article consists of a very short one-sentence sub-stub with no infobox, no citations, no categories, and no substantive content. While Wikipedia welcomes the creation of new articles on notable subjects, the practice at the Wikipedia:WikiProject College football is that we don't create new team/season articles unless there is, at minimum, (i) a citation to a reliable source, (ii) an NCAA team season infobox, (iii) narrative providing basic information about the team's performance and results during the season at issue, (iv) appropriate categories, and (v) the team's master navbox (in this case Template:Wyoming Cowboys football navbox). Compare 1952 Wyoming Cowboys football team for an example of a more acceptable season stub article (also created today). I'd be happy to help guide you through developing the 1946 Wyoming article; let me know if I can help. (The source here provides a good starting point for developing the article.)

Hi. I am not the one adding poor/unrefereced text to the article. There is no independent reference available for the claim. As stated in my last edit summary the editor who is hell bent on the claim being in the article needs to take it to the talk page to include the claim.

IP Block Exemption
SenkiZesshou (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
My account is not blocked, my IP is. I am unable to submit to UTRS. I am requesting an IP block exemption because my parents have a VPN running at my house and on my laptop. They will not disable it, and I can't get around it. I would like to contribute to Wikipedia outside of the 20 minutes I can occasionally get at school. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia, and would like to be able to on my free time at my home computer. (I had to submit this using my mobile hotspot. I don't have an unlimited data plan however, so editing on mobile isn't really an option. Beasting123 (talk) 01:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Without your IP - there is nothing we can do. Besides that point, the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY don't require UTRS, in fact - they don't mention it at all. SQLQuery me! 04:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

2018–19 Central Connecticut Blue Devils men's basketball team moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2018–19 Central Connecticut Blue Devils men's basketball team, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

IP Post
Hey!
Hey, sorry I don’t know where to place this on your page, but you removed the following from the Nigel Clough entry, marked as not relevant: In December 2018 Clough oversaw Burton’s best ever run in the EFL Cup, overcoming Championship club Middlesbrough 1-0 to reach the semi-finals
I would strongly argue that this entry was relevant in that it describes how Clough, as manager, has taken his team, Burton, to their best ever cup performance in their 68 year history. It is referenced with a reputable source, and, indeed, is arguably a more newsworthy achievement than the majority of the rest of the article (I’m looking at you, 1-1 draws and reports of jobs under threat). Surely on reflection you’ll agree that a once-in-68-years result, with noneother than Clough as manager, is in some way relevant to Clough’s entry on Wikipedia? Or maybe not. You’re the boss. Anyway, just trying to help, J.
An IP posted this at the top of my page. I'm posting it here just to keep it. We are resolving the issue on his page. Beasting123 (talk) 23:52, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Beasting123. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! 5 albert square (talk) 14:47, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Beasting123. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Minor user rights can now be accorded on a time limited or probationary period, so do check back at WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Swarm {talk} 00:14, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Your recent edit to the page Troy Tulowitzki appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:39, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Two edits undone, but I do believe one of them was correct
Hi Beasting123,
You recently reverted a couple edits I made to the Cody Parkey article. In one of them, I can clearly see that I made a mistake. However, I think a legitimate edit got reverted along with it. Specifically, the first sentence of the last paragraph:
"Late in the 2018–19 NFC wild card playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, with the Bears down 16–15" is not a complete sentence. I merely tried to make it a complete sentence by connecting it to the following sentence with a comma in place of the period.
This is the one edit that I respectfully believe was correct as I wrote it. Thank you. 1980fast (talk) 23:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, you were right on this. I reverted it seeing the first edit, not that one. I'll fix that for ya. Beasting123 (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello SenkiZesshou,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas into Washington-on-the-Brazos Historical Site. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:09, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was just blocked for violating the BLP policy after making an edit on Jared Knabenbauer. It listed his YouTube channel as "ProJaRred" in the article, so I fixed that. I also added that PeanutButterGamer and The Completionist had removed videos featuring him, which has happened and I can provide proof of it if needed. Shortly after making this edit, I was blocked for violating the BLP policy. I have a clean block history. Can someone explain why this was done, or unblock me? I said "Fuck ProJared" in the edit summary, which might be construed as vandalism of some sort, and if that is against the rules I do apologize, but I didn't mess with the content in the article. I also haven't been warned for anything in quite a while, so I'm confused by this block. Edit: Two other editors who put "Fuck ProJared" in their edit summaries were not blocked, and in one's case not even warned, so why am I blocked?Almy (talk) 20:50, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Time served. Editor understands now, I hope. Drmies (talk) 22:40, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hmm well, there was one more, not two, and they were warned. I would think that in the meantime (or at any time since August 2018) you would have read the relevant policy, WP:BLP. Drmies (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Drmies I saw two different users who had their edit summaries deleted. Either way if they were warned and I was instantly blocked for making an edit that actually contributed to the page I'm confused why I got blocked. I've also read WP:BLP. Almy (talk) 22:15, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Because you committed a serious BLP violation in an edit summary. Four times. What's the confusion? Drmies (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Drmies I apologize for that. I made an honest mistake. My confusion is why other people were allowed to do the same thing and not receive a block, but an editor who was in previously good standing like myself isn't. I didn't even put anything in the page, It was an edit summary, which I now understand is still a violating but I don't feel I should be instantly blocked without any warning whatsoever when I was trying to contribute to the page. Almy (talk) 22:36, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- The other editor was an IP editor. They were warned. You, as an established editor, should know better--seriously. The BLP applies everywhere, and Wikipedia is not a place where you can vent your personal anger at some internetty person. So whatever it was that you did in the article really doesn't matter. OK?

I didn't even put anything in the page, It was an edit summary, which I now understand is still a violating but I don't feel I should be instantly blocked without any warning whatsoever when I was trying to contribute to the page. Almy (talk) 22:36, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Because you committed a serious BLP violation in an edit summary. Four times. What's the confusion? Drmies (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Drmies I saw two different users who had their edit summaries deleted. Either way if they were warned and I was instantly blocked for making an edit that actually contributed to the page I'm confused why I got blocked. I've also read WP:BLP. Almy (talk) 22:15, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.18
Hello SenkiZesshou,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
- Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
- Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
- Reliable Sources for NPP
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
- Backlog drive coming soon
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
- News
- Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

I agree with your comments (to take the article from how it stands now)
That was what I was saying in the edit summary (when I made the last change). I had disputed making changes to the article as it stood now as I thought it would take too long, but I accept it as it is. My last edit wasn’t to do with this dispute. I’m free to edit on the article, yes? The article itself does need trimmed but personally I don’t have the time to do that. Cat Hudson (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Hold off on editing to see what the other person has to say. Also, if you think it has to be trimmed, don't add a ton more. Almy (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Rollover in Europe
Hello,
I have just seen you reverted some text about rollovers in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rollover&diff=903280487&oldid=903280259
In your change, I have seen that you have used a Wikipedia:Huggle tool, but I was not able to see the reason why you did this change. When you make a change, there is an "Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)" section where you can and should and must describe your changes. This helps other users to understand what you did and the reason why you did it. And it is not so complex as I achieved to do it for my changes :-)
Could you please fill this field when you make such changes?
Could you detail in the talk page Talk:Rollover how you believe "rollover in Europe" should be dealt with?
Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.185.253.2 (talk) 20:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- @81.185.253.2: I was trying to revert one edit where you used really dodgy grammar, not all 6. Sorry about that. Almy (talk) 14:42, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
About the Charlotte Kerr page
If I put a reference to where I got the information about the charlotte kerr contract, then could i put it there, sorry im new, also how do i write on your talk page because i dont think im doing it right, FoxyLegend (talk) 20:37, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- @FoxyLegend: Hi. I'm not the user who reverted your edit, but I'll answer anyway. It appears that your edit was reverted because it lacked a reliable source, so yes, you could add the information if you also add a reliable source. See WP:CITE. You are writing correctly on the talk page. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 20:47, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello SenkiZesshou,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Rollback
I see you've used the rollback tool to undo an edit of mine. Please specify what you think justified this use of the tool. 210.55.232.218 (talk) 16:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
You were edit warring. See the 3RR warning you deleted off your talk page. Almy (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- There are six circumstances listed at Wikipedia:ROLLBACKUSE in which the tool may be used. That is not one of them. Are you aware of the criteria? 210.55.232.218 (talk) 16:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- "To revert obvious vandalism and other edits where the reason for reverting is absolutely clear". You were edit warring, therefore the reason is absolutely clear. Almy (talk) 16:42, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- No, it is not. Do not equate my edits with vandalism. Do not misuse your tools. 210.55.232.218 (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- Use of standard rollback for any other purposes – such as reverting good-faith changes which you happen to disagree with – is likely to be considered misuse of the tool. 210.55.232.218 (talk) 16:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
