October 2010

Hello! I'm assuming you've popped over from the English Wikipedia, so you're probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay on! Here's a few links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• The help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
• How to copy from English Wikipedia
• A very incomplete list of our active editors

There's plenty to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that don't exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you'd like to do. Thanks for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need a hand. πr² (talk • changes) 16:42, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Articles

Hey there. Please make sure that you add attribution for all of these articles you're copying from the English Wikipedia. In order to comply with copyrights, where you got the content from needs to be visible, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. Osiris (talk) 23:38, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Do you need a different explanation on how to do it? It's important. Osiris (talk) 00:01, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I've done the one for Arkona (band) "here". Osiris (talk) 00:09, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Quick deletion of Category:Subdivisions of Colombia

The page you wrote, Category:Subdivisions of Colombia, has been selected for quick deletion. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. You can find more information about the reason here. Auntof6 (talk) 00:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Category:Honduran people

Hi, Fixer. Thanks for your new category, Category:Honduran people. You might not have known, but here on Simple English Wikipedia we want at least three entries in each category (with some exceptions, like chronology categories). Do you plan to add more articles to this category? --Auntof6 (talk) 00:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Renamed categories

Thanks for renaming Category:Nuevo Leon‎ and Category:People from Baden Württemburg‎ to their correct spelling. I have deleted the old categories. If you rename any more categories and ask for the old ones to be deleted, it would help if you specify the quick deletion criteria C2. That way, the admin that looks at the request wouldn't have to do as much research to see why the category is empty. (We don't automatically delete things just because someone asks, we need to understand what happened with the category.) Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 01:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

New categories need at least three entries

As I mentioned above, here on Simple English Wikipedia we want at least three entries in each new category. Several of the new categories you create have only one or two entries. The one I mentioned above also still has only one entry. Do you plan to put more entries in them in the near future, or can we recategorize the entries and delete the categories? In the future, please be sure you have three entries for a category before you create it. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:28, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Remember references

Hello again. If you're going to be copying infoboxes over from another Wikipedia, please remember the references included within them. Otherwise the page ends up with errors (example). I've fixed the ones you copied over yesterday, but please remember for the future. Osiris (talk) 07:59, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

You've done it again on Hiiu County. And you're still not adding attribution like I showed you above. Osiris (talk) 19:31, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Fixer88, issues have been raised here about your editing, but you've responded to none of them. Please acknowledge the issues and ask questions if you don't understand. If you don't respond, I must conclude that you haven't thought to click on the orange bar notifying you of new messages, and may have to block you for a while until you respond.

Tonka Tomicic and other page moves

Hi! I'm Thesixthstaff! I'm glad to see that you are helping out here. I noticed you moved a couple of pages. The ones adding accents seemed to be correct, but I was wondering why you removed the accents from Tonka Tomicic! Though it is a Croatian name, the accents are part of their spelling system. If there's a specific reason why you changed it, please tell me here. Without a reason, I'm going to assume that the original name was more accurate and move it back. In the future, please give your page move reasons in the change summary! Thank you! Thesixthstaff (talk) 20:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Durango. However, we normally need at least three pages in a category before it is created. Because categories are a way to group together similar articles, there is no need to create a new category for just one or two articles. If you think there might be more pages to add to the new category, please add them now. Thank you. Auntof6 (talk) 21:37, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

August 2014

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but "Neihu District" was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Rus793 (talk) 12:14, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Fixer88. It looks like "Neihu District" was derived from the English Wikipedia or another version of Wikipedia. If that is indeed the case, please make sure you add some form of attribution, either in your change summary or on the article's talk page. This must be done, even for derivative works, or the article will be deleted in time. More instructions on how to do this are at Wikipedia:Transwiki attribution. Thank you.

Oribe

Just letting you know that I changed this page from a disambiguation page to a given name page. If the page is for a given name or a surname, and the only things on the page are people who have the name, then it is not considered a disambiguation page. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:09, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Warning: you must give attribution for pages you create that are based on pages from other Wikipedias

You have created quite a few articles here based on English Wikipedia articles without giving attribution for them. Wikipedia requires attribution when its content is used, even if changes are made to it and even if it is used in another Wikipedia. This is explained at Wikimedia's Terms of Use. You agree to abide by the Terms of Use every time you save a page here. Giving attribution is a legal requirement. By not giving attribution, you cause Wikipedia to be in violation of copyright laws. Is there a reason you have not given attribution?

Please reply here as soon as possible and explain why you have not given attribution. If this is not resolved, the articles you created may be deleted and you may be blocked from editing here. Thank you. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Fixer88, you're still doing this. I've made this request before, about copying and pasting, adding attribution, etcetera. This applies to new pages and anything you add. You can't just copy it over from the English Wikipedia and paste it in without simplifying and adding attribution. You never seem to respond to any of the concerns raised, not even after you were blocked. Can you please start doing this?

Seriously, if you have any questions, or are unsure what I'm talking about – just ask for clarification. I'm more than happy to help, because it means less work for me in the long run. Osiris (talk) 03:19, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

RfD nomination of Real Madrid Castilla

An editor has requested deletion of Real Madrid Castilla, an article you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2014/Real Madrid Castilla and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much. Rus793 (talk) 02:49, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Question about Bellvale, California article

The last sentence says "U.S. Geological Survey maps show oil wells in the area and was first identified in the nineteenth century." What was first identified in the nineteenth century? I tried to figure it out by looking at the reference for this statement, but it's apparently a dead link. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:35, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Articles about living people

Hi, Fixer. Thanks for your recent new articles about living people. You might not have known, but articles that are biographies of living people ("BLPs") need to have references. Some of the BLPs you created don't have references. One had references using IMDB, but IMDB is not considered a reliable source, so that article, Alsou, should have some references added that use better sources. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:25, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

A category on your user page

Hi, Fixer. I noticed that you have the non-existent category "Wikipedians with alternative accounts" on your user page. Would you mind removing it? Your user page is the only thing in the category. I try to keep the number of redlinked categories as low as possible. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Atlantic City, Wyoming

Would you take a look at this page? Did you mean it to be about Atlantic City, or Crowheart? --Auntof6 (talk) 23:25, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Jefferson City, Missouri

I undid your edit because the category didn't exist. You can add it as soon as the category is created. PokestarFan (talk) (My Contribs) 21:24, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @PokestarFan: Please wait a little longer before undoing this kind of edit. When we are going to create a new category, sometimes we add it to pages before creating it. That way, we don't get a new category with too few pages. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:57, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

reference sections

Hi, Fixer. When you create a page that has references, please remember to code the {{reflist}} template with a "References" heading. In Prince William County, Virginia, you had the heading, but not the template. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:39, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Blocked

After several years now, I'm blocking your account indefinitely until we get some kind of response acknowledging the problems with copying and pasting articles from the English Wikipedia, especially without attribution. I've talked to you about attribution, and demonstrated it. If you need another demonstration, I'd be happy to help answer any questions. With the amount of pages you copy over, it needs to be done. That issue aside, you are still copying and pasting the lead sections of complex articles from the English Wikipedia without making any real effort to simplify. Examples include your recent articles on languages, metropolitan areas and settlements. The entirely red-linked disambiguation pages do not help either.

This is not a request to go away. I would like to see you continue to edit. But this is the Simple English Wikipedia—the articles have to be in simple English, and if you use someone else's work, you have to credit them in order to keep the content free. Please respond here or email me so that we can work on getting these things corrected.

Regards, Osiris (talk) 05:20, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
