Editor review

Hello, Aaqib. WP:ER was closed about two years ago, so I have deleted your request for feedback. If you still would like to place such a request, please start a thread on WP:ST instead. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. Osiris (talk) 03:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh, to bad, I really wanted to see if I am a good editor. --Aaqib Waramchoi (talk) 19:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

You can, just needs to be done at the correct venue. On another matter, what is {{Repair}} for? This seems like it might be duplicating our existing maintenance templates. Osiris (talk) 01:49, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Osiris, you want to delete {{Repair}}? I have no problem with you deleting the following template. --Aaqib Waramchoi (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, Aaqib. You might be able to use {{Under construction}} instead of {{Repair}}. We could delete the repair template, or redirect it to the other one. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I want it deleted. It is useless anyway and also {{Under construction}} looks good enough! --Aaqib Hola! 18:49, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay, it's gone. I just want to make sure that you understand the content-creation concerns raised below by myself and by others in the RfD... It might help to find some sources for information instead of writing about something from your own knowledge, and to include those sources when you write up the article. Not even in the article for volleyball would that information be acceptable, because it doesn't look like it can be verified by reliable sources. Osiris (talk) 03:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Tips (game)

Hi Aaqib. What exactly is your source for this subject? I can't find anything about it online (at least in English), and your external link doesn't go anywhere... I searched for games using the terms "chicken feet" and "snake eyes" and nothing seemed to match what you've written about. Is there some source in Sinhalese or something? Osiris (talk) 02:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

That is weird, I looked up "Tips (game)" on Google and nothing that I wanted came up, I promise Tips is true. I asked my friends and they all said "yes". Please do not request deletion of it, all my friends said the game was true. I think maybe it is new to the world! --Aaqib Waramchoi (talk) 19:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Rollback template

Hey there! I noticed you have {{User rollback}} on your userpage even though you do not have the rollback rights. In fact, you never even requested them. Please remove the template from your page. You could request the privilege, but I highly doubt it will be given to you seeing as you've only been here a couple weeks. Regards, TCN7JM 23:47, 9 June 2013 (UTC).

 Done by an admin.Reception123 / Receptie123 (talk) 14:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

What? I have reverted vandalism, such example is here. Look at the history. After looking. Look at W:RF. --Aaqib Waramchoi (talk) 19:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I know what rollback is, I have it on two wikis. It's just that you don't have it yet. Reverting vandalism is not the same thing as having the rollback feature. You must request the right at WP:RFP/R, then wait until an administrator accepts your request, which is unlikely to happen at this point because you've only been here a couple weeks. As a sidenote, please do not remove threads such as this one from your talk page that are still open for discussion. Thanks. TCN7JM 22:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Category:Democrats (United States)

The change I made to your user page was not vandalism. I removed a category that is for articles, not for user pages. Please do not put article categories on your user page. This is documented at WP:USER, in the following text:

You may include one or more Wikipedian categories, such as Category:Wikipedian musicians. Wikipedian categories help Wikipedians with similar interests to meet and talk. They are like Wikiprojects, but are much less formal. Wikipedian categories should not overlap with article categories. It is important to include the word "Wikipedian" in such category names. Also, they should be categories within the general Wikipedian category.

Unapproved stub types

Please do not use stub templates from your userspace, as you did with this edit. Not only have you been told that stub types must be approved, but in most cases (including this one) it is not appropriate to use userspace templates in articles. Thank you. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

I better be experienced! --Aaqib Talk!| Hola! 00:07, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I really appreciate it Curtintoad! --Aaqib Talk!| Hola! 00:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

I changed it back to the plain generic stub tag, because the page is not about literature. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:13, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

(not experienced user) Wait? It was just "stub", that's all? If only I knew that "that" I would have submitted that kind of stub! --Aaqib Talk!| Hola! 00:18, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, if none of the more-specific stub types fits, you just use {{stub}}. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:27, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Blanking your talk page

Hey there! I notice that you've been removing messages of constructive criticism from your talk page. While this is not against any kind of policy or guideline, it is considered bad form by many, myself included. This is not any kind of warning, and I know you mean to act in good faith, but it would be much more convenient for other users if you would take the time to archive your talk page. Instructions on doing so are here. Thanks for considering this. TCN7JM 20:36, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Auntof6 (talk) 22:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

You are removing things that are not vandalism

Please think more about changes before reverting them as vandalism. You have reverted vandalism, but you have also reverted changes that were not vandalism. Some examples of this are:

• http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charles_Durning&diff=4461577&oldid=4461544
• http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jew&diff=prev&oldid=4459968
• http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cheese&diff=4458483&oldid=4458390

I have cautioned you about this before. Was there something that made you think these changes were vandalism? Please remember that you cannot assume that changes by IP users are vandalism. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I have reasons, for the first one. I did not think it is needed. When I was a new user, GoblinBot4 reverted my edits to Dexter's Laboratory which was obviously not vandalism. Because I do not want to get into an edit war, I decided to leave it there. For a perfect explanation (if you did not see enough of an excuse), I reverted the IP Address's edits just to make sure she does not go bonkers and destroy different pages. Just giving the IP Address to not do the past contributions in the future. Okay! On to my second one, Not needed, the contributions made by that person was not needed in my looks. And --- everybody has different opinions. That contributor should have just ignored the page because the contributor before him/her was perfect. "One is" is perfect! And the cheese, you got to be kidding me. I pet some random person can revert the edits by that IP Address because of "soilid". I mean! What the heck is that! I bet that IP Address seriously spelled "soilid". And just fixing it is bitter time. Anyway, that contributor should have not contributed to the page. It was perfect before. And?? How do you know all my contributions. Why are you tagging along with me? --Aaqib Hola! 00:32, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

P.S. I do not assume IP Address's contributions are vandalism anymore! --Aaqib Hola! 00:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

This looks like equally to what to what I reverted to one or two of the above links. --Aaqib Hola! 00:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
First, if you revert a change just because you think it isn't needed, you shouldn't tag it as vandalism and give the editor a warning. In cases like that, you can use an edit summary like "reverted good faith edits". Those three edits you reverted were perfectly acceptable the way they were. On the Charles Durning article, what is wrong with saying that he was a dance instructor? On the Cheese article, yes there was a misspelled word, but you can fix that without reverting the entire change and the previous wording was better (cheese is not "a type of milk", and "eat" is better than "chew").

I found some of these changes of yours because I look at Special:RecentChanges. Many editors watch that page for various reasons. When I saw that you were tagging edits as vandalism when they weren't vandalism, then I looked at all your contributions. I would bet I'm not the only editor doing that. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism consists of edits which are meant to disrupt the wiki. That means the edits are causing harm to the article. Did the edits cause harm to the article(s)? And who are you to determine whether a contributor/particular edit is "perfect"? Chenzw  Talk  04:30, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Aaqib, we are following your contributions because we are trying to prevent anything wrong from happening. Your many reverts of things that were obviously good faith edits have made editors like us need to do this so that you don't accidentally drive contributors away from the wiki by warning them for vandalism when they were acting in good faith. I would be happy to teach you what is and isn't vandalism, and I'm sure a couple other editors would too, but your attitude in the above post that the contributor to Cheese was wrong in every way is condescending and must stop. TCN7JM 09:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

As an addition, we all know that vandalism is something bad and we all don't want vandals to ruin the wiki, but your warning here was bordering on inappropriate. Please do not insult the vandals. (also relevant) Chenzw  Talk  09:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Use of {{under construction}}

Please note this template is used only to prevent edit conflicts. If you leave that template on an article, we are expecting that you will be making many changes to the article over a short period of time. Please do not use this template to "tag" "incomplete" articles. Also be aware that usage of this template does not override the deletion policy. If an article has been "tagged" with that article but not edited for a long enough time, and meets our quick deletion criteria, it will still be deleted by an administrator (eg. Governor of Virginia). Chenzw  Talk  04:26, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Inappropriate message

I don't think your message on your talk page if too appropriate.I am talking about this : "...if anything or someone's contributions are wrong. Please report them to me. I will handle the user..."."...Please report them to me...", that sounds like you are an administrator.Why would someone report to you and not to an administrator?Reception123 / Receptie123 (talk) 14:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I almost asked him about this same thing. There is no harm in the message, though. The user does wish to be an administrator in the future. TCN7JM 03:28, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Another question Reception123 / Receptie123 (talk) 18:53, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring on Jew

Can you please tell me exactly why you want to revert this and this again? The grammar is correct - you should not revert it. Auntof6 has also mentioned this just now. Chenzw  Talk  02:23, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

DYK hooks

You asked why Bluegoblin7 removed your contributions. Please read the DYK rules properly. When you propose a fact (we call it a "hook"), the fact must be in the relevant article and the article itself must contain a citation to a reliable source. Please also format the hook properly. I have removed your proposed hooks from the page. Read the DYK rules properly (and maybe some of our guidelines), then come back again to propose DYK hooks. Chenzw  Talk  02:30, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Also, please remember to be polite and civil. Your comments came across very rude. Kennedy ^(talk) 09:21, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I see that both Chenzw and Kennedy have made the points that I was going to. If you want any assistance with DYK please don't hesitate to ask, but please do remain polite and civil in doing so. Goblin 20:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I ♥ Mh7kJ!

New pages

Hello Aaqib. I've noticed some of your new pages such as The Amazing World of Gumball for example. Unfortunately they are not of good enough quality to stay here. For that page you must type some information instead of just the infobox. Oliver W. Hill, Sr. needs 'wikified' - putting links in and you must make the language more simple. Please try to make sure the article is of a good quality before moving onto another one. Quality, not quantity is what we're looking for.

I've moved the Amazing World of Gumball article to a subpage of your userpage for you to work on. Otherwise I'd have deleted it. Thanks Kennedy ^(talk) 12:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Shar Pei

I noticed you tagged this page for quick deletion. The article is certainly transwikied, but what part of it do you think is "wierd, not true"? The shar pei is a breed of dog, and the article describes it. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:32, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

The format and appearance looked awkward. And I did not know it was a dog breed, I never heard of it in my life. --Aaqib Hola! 00:34, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

 Done Change! Is that okay? --Aaqib Hola! 00:34, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I have reverted a couple of your recent edits

I have reverted the following two edits that you made:

• The edits to Robert E. Lee where you removed the {{sources}} tag and added a sources section. All the sources you added were links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia cannot be used as a source this way.
• This edit to Wreck-It Ralph. There was nothing wrong with the text the way it was.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:26, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Greeting newcomers

Hello, Aaqib, and thanks for greeting and welcoming new users! But just to let you know, we usually wait until the newcomer has made a few changes before we welcome them. When a newcomer's changes are only vandalism, we don't welcome that user because we don't want that here. Instead we just give them a warning template. ~ curtaintoad ~~ talk ~ 23:44, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip Curtaintoad! Love to see you around. --Aaqib Hola! 23:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Blocking templates

I am going to have to ask you to please stop adding blocking templates to user talk pages, especially since it sometimes appears that you have no idea why those editors are being blocked (example). Furthermore, 12.197.240.0/21 is not a single editor, but a special range of IP addresses. Creating a user talk page for this special range is useless. Administrators use their own discretion to determine certain things when blocking editors. If administrators choose to not leave a blocking template on user talk pages, please respect that and stop trying to "clean up" after administrators. Chenzw  Talk  02:01, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Good Article

Hello! I'm wondering if my article James Gandolfini can be a good article. It has good reliable sources in every sentence in the article. I know it's a long shot, but can you write suggestions on what to fix on the article, so that it can be a good one. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you could link it more, reliable sources (excellent!) and maybe a little more info! --Aaqib Hola! 21:38, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Qaris

You've recently added articles about qaris. I wonder if you'd like to write an article called Qari to explain what that is. I had never heard of it before, and it would be interesting to have an article about it. Just a thought! --Auntof6 (talk) 23:07, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Quit acting like you're an admin

I know I really don't have much room to talk, since I'm not an admin and I'm giving you this warning, but...

It seems like you're acting like you're already an admin, when you're not an admin. Things like your comment here and stuff you've already been warned about like your addition of a blocking template here and your discussions here are what I'm talking about. You're simply acting as if you already are an admin when you're not, and you should stop. It's starting to annoy other users. TCN7JM 00:35, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Endorse. TCN7JM pretty much sums it up. Although he is not an admin, he has the clue and knows when to defer to admins when limitations are present. Right now he is speaking to you as a concerned member of the community, because your edits are slowly becoming disruptive. I, for example, have been needing to review every contribution of yours when I wake up in the morning. Also see here. Such edits are not appreciated. Chenzw  Talk  02:54, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Same here, you guys pretty much took all the examples. This is not funny, it's really disturbing us all. It is keeping me on those pages. I think this discussion should move to Wikipedia:Simple talk or Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Once we find 5 or 10 examples or even more, We might even think of blocking you for 48 hours or the admins suggestions. 24.218.110.195 (talk) 03:43 23 June 2013 (UTC) 11:43pm 06/22/2013 EDT.

(@24.218.110.195) What is it with everyone weighing in on things that don't involve them recently? The initial comment was warranted, as was Chenzw's, but do we really need every single IP or user under the sun weighing in? Yes, I'm not helping, but I have brought this up before. Goblin 12:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC) I ♥ Auntof6!

Thanks for that award

Attribution and under construction template for T.U.F.F. Puppy

Chenzw has already given you some instructions about the Under Construction template, but I see you have used it again on T.U.F.F. Puppy. However, the main issues are that you have used the EnWP as the source without attribution and the language is still complex. Simplifying a long article form En is hard, so why not do it in your userspace? Thanks, Gotanda (talk) 01:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I have moved the article to User:Aaqib/T.U.F.F. Puppy. We are assuming that you understood what we said, since you didn't reply to some of our messages. Please ask if you are unsure. Chenzw  Talk  02:47, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
