Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, MeritedElm63160! I'm Belwine and an active editor here. Thank you for your changes. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions, or send me a message on my talk page. I like to help new people, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a very good article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! —Belwine (talk) 19:07, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for all your work on Germany and Austria related articles! Please let me know if you need any help. :) —Belwine (talk) 19:09, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

February 2021

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created 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. Operator873^talkconnect 05:12, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Categories and Reflist

Hello. Thank you for adding articles relating to FC Bayern Munich. However, when you make an article, you need to add a reflist. This can be done by adding Template:Reflist to the page. As well, please add categories to the pages. This can help users find your articles (see this for more info). Thanks, and have a good day. ShadowBallX (talk) 23:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for reminding me. I will! 😁 MeritedElm63160 (talk) 23:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries. By the way, if you have any questions, you can ask me or any of the administrators here. ShadowBallX (talk) 23:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

your rfa

Hi! Thanks for your effort at Wikipedia! I'm here to let you know that you will most likely not pass your RFA request at this time. Please take time to read the messages at the RFA, and try again in about 6 months or so, when you have more edits/experience. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you around here! --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Copying English Wikipedia

Please do not copy/paste from the English Wikipedia. Especially policy/guideline pages as these pages should only be created at the request of the community and certainly never copied from another Wikipedia. I'll also note this is the second time you've had to be warned against copy/pasting from other projects. Operator873^talkconnect 21:08, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Creating Stub Templates

Please don't create stub templates as we don't allow for just creating them for anything. They have to be approved. Which this one would very likely not be. See Wikipedia:Simple Stub Project for more details. -Djsasso (talk) 21:19, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Alright, it was my first time creating a stub. Thanks for reminding me. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Quick deletion of 2020-21 FC Bayern season

The page you wrote, 2020-21 FC Bayern season, 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. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 02:35, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

New categories

Hello, MeritedElm63160. I saw that you created some new categories. You probably didn't know, but on this Wikipedia categories are managed differently from the way they are on other Wikipedias. For one thing, we don't have the same categories as English Wikipedia. Another is that here each category needs at least three entries. Several of the categories you created had only one entry, so they have been deleted.

Don't feel bad about this. Many editors, including me, didn't know about this in the beginning. If you would like to know about other ways this Wikipedia is different, you can look at a list I have at User:Auntof6/simplediffs. That list is not a policy or guideline, but it does link to some relevant policies and guidelines. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:02, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Historic districts. 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) 09:14, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Flood flag

Dear MeritedElm63160,

Can you please apply for a flood flag?

Blessings,

Yaakov W.Yaakov Wa. (talk) 23:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I will apply. Thanks for telling me. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 23:54, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear MeritedElm63160,

I recommend going to WP:AN or an administrators personal talk page. Here is the list of administrators: https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=20&username=&group=sysop&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form

Quick deletion of 2021–22 Bundesliga table

The page you wrote, 2021–22 Bundesliga table, 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. Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:48, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, MeritedElm63160! I've been noticing that you've so far had put a table on 2 pages which shouldn't be created. I suggest you to move them to your sandbox, or one of your userpages, just type User:MeritedElm63160/PAGENAME (Replace Pagename with the name of the page). Please do not create anymore pages like this. Thanks --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:50, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I accidently misclicked. Sorry!! MeritedElm63160 (talk) 23:50, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay, Please be careful in the future. If you have any more questions, please ask. :-) --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

• Hi there. It looks like you may have tried to move this deleted page to a user subpage. Instead, you created User:2021–22 Bundesliga table, which is a userpage for a non-existent user, so it will most likely be deleted shortly. If you want help moving that page to a user subpage of your own, you can probably contact an admin for help retrieving the content and moving it for you.--Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 00:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

  I accidently misclicked, so I'm sorry!! I will ask an admin if they will move that page into a user subpage of my own. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 01:05, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

May 2021

Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Amberg-Sulzbach. 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) 06:58, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I know. I'm still creating pages! MeritedElm63160 (talk) 12:36, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Copying from enwiki

When you copy templates from enwiki, make sure not to copy over the {{good article}} tag or the {{short description}} templates. We don't have short descriptions here. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 15:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok :) MeritedElm63160 (talk) 15:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Real Madrid CF

Please be careful copying things from English Wikipedia (enwiki). Your recent change to Real Madrid CF included adding a good article template, but that article doesn't appear to be a good article here like it is on enwiki. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:47, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to "Paris Saint-Germain F.C.", without giving a good reason in the change summary. This is vandalism. If you want to practice changing Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok, but I somehow don’t understand how it’s vandalism. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 11:47, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

As I was going to change it anyway. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 11:49, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

RC

You are taking up "New Changes" I don't mind, but please keep in mind that others may say something :) So try and limit your changes to 100, I believe that's the allowed limit with no flood flag. You might want to double check with an admin though Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:42, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok :) MeritedElm63160 (talk) 00:43, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Quick deletion of Toulon Tournament

The page you wrote, Toulon Tournament, 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.

June 2021

Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Ansbach (district)". 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. I know that you put a popcat template on the category, but that is like saying you know you were doing something wrong. Please do not create the category until there are at least three items to put into it. Thanks. Auntof6 (talk) 00:46, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok MeritedElm63160 (talk) 01:58, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Simple words for where places are

Hi, I notice you are creating a lot of place stubs. Please keep them simple. Just the verb "is" communicates clearly and simple. No need for the situated in "is situated" See Neuendettelsau. "Lies between" or "lies at" should just be "is between" or "is at". Thanks, --Gotanda (talk) 23:11, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 00:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Sandboxes and testcases

I notice you keep copying over sandboxes and testcases here. That is not necessary as those will be specific to en.wiki and don't need to be created here unless someone needs to actively use the sandbox. Just thought I would let you know to save you some time and keep from getting a bunch of unnecessary mess. -Djsasso (talk) 19:42, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 19:53, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

I see you've retired, I wish you good luck editing on bar wiki. Fixing26 (talk) 14:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, thank you for welcoming me after a mental break! MeritedElm63160 (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Attribution

Just a reminder to put attribution for anything you copy over from en.wiki especially the doc pages as I notice you haven't been doing that at all. -Djsasso (talk) 13:35, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. I will be sure to keep that in mind at all times. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Also Djsasso, notice anything? MeritedElm63160 (talk) 00:32, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Zenting is not simplified

Only one or two words are changed from EnWP to this wiki at Zenting. Complex words such as "nestles," "south facing bowl", and "towers" as a verb all need to be changed. Please either stick with the very simple brief stub type or you need to change and rewrite all of those sentences. thanks, --Gotanda (talk) 22:02, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

I will rewrite the following article(s). Thanks. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 22:57, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

I have now simplified the following article, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 23:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank youǃ I made Zenting even a little bit simpler. Gotanda (talk) 04:50, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Cadastral area is not simple

Hiǃ I notice that you have started using the phrase "cadastral area" in your European geography stubs. That is not at all simple. Is there a way that you can re-write in simpler words? Thanks -- Gotanda (talk) 04:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Also, I see that you have started using a lot of German terms in these. Please use simple English words. Link to the specific German terms if needed or appropriate. If a passage has a large number of foreign words, it is complex and hard to read. Only users of German can read it fluently, and they can just read the articles in Germanǃ right? Here is an example. Thanksǃ --Gotanda (talk) 04:31, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for that correction. I will be sure not to use German words in articles. Cheers, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 14:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Also note that very few articles that are not created by me, use some of the terms I used. Just wanted you to know. Cheers, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 16:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. I tagged this old one Liberland but it will take a long time to fix. I did not mean to single you out at all. It was just noticeable because I patrol the New Pages often and yours still need approval as a relatively newer editor. Since you are doing so many in a template style, it just seemed easier to catch this before you made too many more. Making dozens or hundreds based on the same text template is a very good chance to establish real simplicity in the language across many articles as a good example to future editors. Thanksǃ --Gotanda (talk) 07:48, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I will also help in fixing and simplifying the article you listed above. Cheers, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 17:48, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Patroller

Hello, MeritedElm63160. As you noticed, Eptalon gave you patroller earlier. However, you have patrolled quite a few pages very quickly, and on these pages I can still see errors. I have removed your patroller right for now as there are issues with the pages you patrolled, but please don't get too upset, your work here is still appreciated. Thanks, :) --Ferien (talk) 22:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Ok thank you! :)

RfD nomination of Module:CountryData/cachel

An editor has requested deletion of Module:CountryData/cachel, 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 the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2022/Module:CountryData/cachel 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. MeritedElm63160 (talk) 20:14, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Luis Enrique

On the article Luis Enrique, you added 9 broken references and listed 3 related pages that dont even exist.. Do you intend to fix these problem? Creol (talk) 19:04, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, after I am done adding additional details. Cheers, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 19:21, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

It is done. Please let me know if there are any more problems. Cheers, MeritedElm63160 (talk) 19:26, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. The article isnt setting of any alarms for me now :) Creol (talk)

Templates

Hi, MeritedElm63160. Thanks for creating templates, such as Template:Nigeria men's football squad 1996 Summer Olympics. When you create a template, please make sure to adjust the categories to use categories that we have here on Simple English Wikipedia. We don't have, and don't necessarily want, the same categories that English Wikipedia uses, so most pages transwikied from elsewhere need to have they categories adjusted. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:45, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Also, please be sure to place the template on all applicable pages. A navigational box in particular doesn't serve much purpose if it is on only one page. Thanks again. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:46, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

RfD nomination of Template:Football team player

An editor has requested deletion of Template:Football team player, 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 the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Template:Football team player 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.
