Other than that, is there something that <i>you</i> see might be wrong? I need more information about your question in order to answer it. Outside of that notice at the top of the article, can you elaborate and provide me with what you saw or made you believe that there are issues with the article? <a href="/wiki/User:Oshwah" title="User:Oshwah"><b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b></a><sup><small><b><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Oshwah" title="User talk:Oshwah"><span style="color:blue">(talk)</span></a> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Oshwah" title="Special:Contributions/Oshwah"><span style="color:green">(contribs)</span></a></b></small></sup> 19:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Happy_New_Year,_Oshwah!"><span id="Happy_New_Year.2C_Oshwah.21"></span>Happy New Year, Oshwah!</h2></div> <div style="border: 3px solid #FFD700; background-color: #FFFAF0; padding:0.2em 0.4em; height:auto; min-height:173px; border-radius:1em; box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.5em rgba(0,0,0,0.75);" class="plainlinks"> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif/212px-Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif" decoding="async" width="212" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif/318px-Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Fuochi_d%27artificio.gif 2x" data-file-width="352" data-file-height="288" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure><figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Happy_new_year_01.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Happy_new_year_01.svg/177px-Happy_new_year_01.svg.png" decoding="async" width="177" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Happy_new_year_01.svg/266px-Happy_new_year_01.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Happy_new_year_01.svg/354px-Happy_new_year_01.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1317" data-file-height="1288" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> <div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"><span style="font-size:179%;"><i><b><a href="/wiki/New_Year" title="New Year">Happy New Year</a>!</b></i></span></div> <p><b>Oshwah</b>,<br />Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable <a href="/wiki/New_Year" title="New Year">New Year</a>, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. <br /><a href="/wiki/User:Abishe" title="User:Abishe">Abishe</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Abishe" title="User talk:Abishe">talk</a>) 14:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)<br /><br /> </p> </div> <p>   <i><span style="font-size:88%;">Send New Year cheer by adding {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Happy_New_Year_fireworks" title="Template:Happy New Year fireworks">subst:Happy New Year fireworks</a>}} to user talk pages.</span></i> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <p><a href="/wiki/User:Abishe" title="User:Abishe">Abishe</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Abishe" title="User talk:Abishe">talk</a>) 14:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC) </p><dl><dd>Hi <a href="/wiki/User:Abishe" title="User:Abishe">Abishe</a>!

I reviewed the list of edits you made to pages that are now deleted, and I wanted to guide you as you requested on your user talk page. First, I highly recommend that you review and understand Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:UP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:UP">policy page on user pages</a>. This page will provide you with the rules, guidelines, policies, and best practices when it comes to the creation or addition of content to pages within your user space. The important sections to make sure you understand completely are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:UPYES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:UPYES">what's allowed on user pages</a> and [[|WP:UPNO|what's <i>not</i> allowed on user pages]]. In general, user pages that have information on the user themselves and is formatted in an "article-like" fashion (infobox, introduction, sections, speaking about themselves in the third person, etc) will be nominated for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SD">speedy deletion</a> under [[WP:G11|criterion G11 (advertising or promotion).</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Remember this: The reason why we typically do not accept <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTOB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AUTOB">autobiographies</a> as valid pages is due to the fact that it's nearly <i>impossible</i> for the user to add content that reflects a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral point of view</a>. Let's say I create an article about myself. Other than the fact that the article about myself would meet <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:A7" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:A7">A7</a> of the speedy deletion criterion (I'm no one of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CCS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CCS">credible significance</a>), if I was arrested in 2009 for an embarrassing crime where <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable sources</a> exist that I can reference, do you think I would be less likely to add it to the article about myself? Of course I would. Would someone be more likely to talk positively about themselves in that article? Absolutely, since it happens more often than it doesn't. The best thing to do is focus on participating in projects and on articles that personally interest you. Go to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject">this page</a> for help with finding a project you like. There are thousands of them! You'll definitely find one that interests you.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help.

Thanks for leaving me a message with your questions and concerns. The most significant and most important thing you need to do is <i>forgive yourself</i>, <i>understand that making mistakes is completely normal</i>, and <i>move on</i>. You did the right thing by fixing the accidental move by undoing your changes as soon as you noticed what happened. I've been an editor on Wikipedia for 17 years now, and there are many users who know me on here and who will absolutely vouch for me when I say that I've made <i><b>more</b></i> than my fair share of silly, stupid, even major mistakes over the years - <i>it happens</i>. Let's say for example that there are two users standing side-by-side for me to review. Each user has around 100,000 total edits. User number one has absolutely no mistakes at all with their edits and logs, while user number two has a handful of them on record, but handled and remedied each mistake quickly and fully and was honest when asked about it. I would see and respect user one more positively than user two. In fact, I'd question user two's overall experience on Wikipedia. It's not normal to have 100,000 edits and <i>no mistakes</i> to speak of.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Sometimes, it's the battle scars that one can show off that show the mark of a good and experienced Wikipedia editor. Will people will naturally demerit someone over having made mistakes, what's more important is what the user <i>does after they realize the mistake</i> - how they handled it, how they made things right, how they communicated with those that were affected, and whether or not the user made the mistake again after making the mistake the first time. Mistakes don't make you inadequate. It's how you behave and act about them that can. :-) Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them.

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you were to dedicate time and actually try creating an article <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTOB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AUTOB">about yourself</a>, you're going to find out very quickly that it's not going to happen, and you'll have wasted <i>hours</i> if not <i>days'</i> worth of time, and all for nothing.</dd> <dd>Wikipedia is an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ENC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ENC">Encyclopedia</a>; it is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTFB">not a social network</a> nor is it <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SOAP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SOAP">a place for means of advertising and promotion</a>. All users are required to comply with Wikipedia's core policies that include adding article content that's worded to reflect a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral point of view</a>, refraining from adding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOR">original research</a>, and not editing or creating any articles about topics or subjects where a personal <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COI">conflict of interest</a> exists between you. Obviously, writing an article about yourself violates nearly all of these policies and guidelines. ;-)</dd> <dd>Here's an example: If I am writing a Wikipedia article about myself, I probably wouldn't talk about that car crash I caused 9 years ago while I was driving drunk and that killed two people (Before you ask... No, I didn't actually do that... but I think you see what I'm getting at). If you're <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:N" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:N">notable</a> enough to meet the guidelines for having your own article, another editor or group of editors will undoubtedly create an article about you. My advice: Let them do the writing. Focus on article subjects and topics that interest you, and you'll enjoy being apart of this community.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Linking to other pages is a good way to get yourself started and on the right path to becoming proficient with <a href="/wiki/H:WT" class="mw-redirect" title="H:WT">wikitext</a> (AKA <i>wiki markup</i>). I bring 17 years of service and experience on Wikipedia when I say that learning wikitext will result in making faster and more precise edits than using the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VE">VisualEditor</a>. By the way, if you're not familiar with or haven't used the VisualEditor, you might find it to be exactly what you're looking for. There's no "better" or "right" choice to make between the two; they both accomplish the same tasks at the end of the day. I only use wiki markup to make edits to pages, simply because that was the only thing that was available back in the day. When the VisualEditor first hit production and was available to the public, it was... very clunky, very limited, and I remember using it for maybe 30 minutes before I kindly said, "no thank you". ;-) That was 15 years ago; since then, the tool has gone through <i>numerous</i> revisions, each with their own fixes, feature additions, improvements, and increased optimization. I'll definitely say that it's become a very key tool for new users to be able to easily make edits without having to take on having to learn wiki markup first. :-)</dd> <dd>So, with what I recall, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOS">guidelines</a> basically states that linking to other articles is fine, but with nouns, words, and terms that users would likely click on if they read the word. You generally want to link to the article about the particular subject once, and not again afterwards. Examples: I wouldn't link insignificant or small words such as "cup", "grass", "hello", "left", etc. Add a wikilink where it makes sense, and then only add it once. When you see a paragraph that's clearly <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OVERLINK" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OVERLINK">overlinking</a> to too many articles. I mean... [[think]] [[about]] it. All.... of those... [[blue]] [[links]] [[for]] every [[other]] [[word]] [[in]] each [[sentence]] in the [[paragraph]]... it starts to become distracting when overdone to a certain point. Also, don't add links to non-existent articles unless it's unique or significant enough (a rare situation), and don't add wikilinks to the lead summary text in articles (the section at the top before the table of contents). You generally want to review and add links (when necessary) to the content <i>body</i> of the article. In fact, many reviewers who <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ASSESS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ASSESS">assess articles</a> and grade them by quality will take this into account. If an article's summary paragraph has many wikilinks to other articles, it's a sign that the article is lacking content, needs expansion, and that important things are missing (otherwise, the links would be within the body of the article instead of the summary). ;-)</dd> <dd>Anyways, I'm carrying on and on again... To answer your question: <i>Your edit was fine</i>. Someone may choose to move, revert, or modify what you changed, but that doesn't mean that the wikilinks you added were bad. Worst case scenario, I can revert numerous edits and restore an article to what it was 5+ years ago, and only with a few clicks of the mouse. My point is that undoing changes (or adding to them) is very easy. Don't sweat it; I was just like you when I first started - <i>everyone here was</i>. If you regularly dedicate time, effort, and care into Wikipedia on a regular basis, and if you have fun doing it, then you are in the right place. As years go by (hopefully you'll still be here regularly), you'll find that things go both ways. You give to this project, and it starts to give back. This project has taught me many lessons, viewpoints, and new things. When I started here, I was a junior in High School, and I used this account to vandalize one of the rival high schools in my town. I was of course warned by an editor... but then I was intrigued. That user.... wait, he's not an admin! I soon learned that anyone can get into doing many different "administrative tasks" on here, and without having to even be an administrator!</dd> <dd>Let's just say this: I never once imagined... didn't cross my mind, not even for a <b>single second</b>, that the account I created while goofing around in High School would become one of my most proud accomplishments that impact so many people each day... or that I would be where I am today, 17 years later, with (getting close to) 500,000 edits, a very high level of trust and respect from the community earned, and with pretty much all of the user rights, privileges, and access that can be given (minus a few). I think I'm still the 52th <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits#1–1000" title="Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits">most active editor of all time</a> here, but I could be wrong. I haven't looked there for quite some time... :-) I'm glad I decided to go with my curiosity, and start contributing here.

That's <i>literally the only thing</i> that the permission does. It serves absolutely <b>no other purpose</b>. This is why I'm asking why having this permission is so important to you. Typically, this user right isn't assigned following a request. I was granted the right when an administrator eventually grew tired of repeatedly marking all of the new pages I would create as "patrolled". The admin just granted my account the user right and then left a quick message on my talk page letting me know. That was it... being granted the user right wasn't momentous, a major event, or even something that was logged as a request approval. If your goal is to grow your experience, knowledge, and wisdom on Wikipedia, focusing on creating pages for the purpose of being an "autopatrolled user", you're allocating effort and energy toward something that doesn't benefit you directly. Instead, take some time to reflect... think about exactly what things you enjoy doing on Wikipedia the most, and hence what things you have the most experienced with. From there, decide on what goal you want to set and achieve next.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>Please let me know if you have any questions, or need help with figuring out a pathway to begin learning on Wikipedia that would interest you.

As of the time of this writing, <i>yes</i> - your content is public. Anyone on the internet can enter the URL to your user page in their browser, and they'll be able to view it just like you can. Unless the page's content or the page <i>itself</i> is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DEL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DEL">deleted</a> by a Wikipedia <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ADMIN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ADMIN">administrator</a>, anyone can view the page and all page content (including every saved revision made in the past), as well as its edit history, logs, and other items.</dd></dl> <dl><dd><b>Is your content indexed by google?</b> The answer to that question is <i>no</i>. Pages that are created within your user space, as well as pages located in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NS">other areas of Wikipedia</a>, do not get indexed by google's crawler bots. This also applies to nearly all major search engines online, and is done so that people who use those search engines won't get flooded with results that point to unimportant pages on Wikipedia that don't provide what they're looking for. This concept of excluding certain areas of Wikipedia from indexing is extremely important - both for Google <i>and</i> Wikipedia. I think your next step here is to review Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AFC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AFC">articles for creation</a> process page. It will provide you with instructions on creating a draft page, moving your content there, and then submitting it for review in order for it to become an article.

Since you're brand new to this project, I <i>highly recommend</i> that you go through Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/H:GS" class="mw-redirect" title="H:GS">getting started page</a> and that you complete Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TWA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TWA">new user tutorial</a> before you make any edits or take on any major tasks around here. Those tutorial pages will provide you with many important walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will familiarize you with our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PG">policies and guidelines</a>, how Wikipedia works, how to navigate around the site, and how to find important locations and pages. Most users who take this advice, read through those pages, and complete the new user tutorial usually tell me later that they were significantly helpful to them, and saved them <i>hours</i> of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise. If you need any other assistance, please don't hesitate to message me here and ask. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand! :-) Again, I welcome you to the project, and I hope you take off your jacket and stay with us for awhile. ;-) Cheers - <a href="/wiki/User:Oshwah" title="User:Oshwah"><b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b></a><sup><small><b><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Oshwah" title="User talk:Oshwah"><span style="color:blue">(talk)</span></a> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Oshwah" title="Special:Contributions/Oshwah"><span style="color:green">(contribs)</span></a></b></small></sup> 06:11, 27 January 2024 (UTC)</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Quick_note_on_Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace"><span id="Quick_note_on_Wikipedia:Vandalism.2FVANDRightPlace"></span>Quick note on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace">Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace</a></h2></div> <p>Thanks for your edits to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace">Wikipedia:Vandalism/VANDRightPlace</a>. </p><p>Yeah I can see the formatting needs more work.

A bit of info (I'm sure others know more): this is not promotional; it's an LTA, someone who seems obsessed with creating a multitude of accounts with similar names and then posting BS chatty info on their talk page (and often deleting it again)--nonsense about the weather and baseball stadiums. They usually come in packs of a half dozen. They don't communicate, they don't do anything in article space (typically)--they're kind of like the garden slug of socks. Very boring.

I technically didn't have the level of evidence (in my mind) that would meet the "threshold" to where I could safely make that accusation, so I just went with "promotional, creating a bunch of these in a short span of time" instead just to be safe.

Of course it's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ABF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ABF">bad faith</a>! :-) Creating that many accounts, with similar usernames, and in that <i>very small</i> spam of time isn't something I've ever seen anyone offer a rational explanation with that everyone accepted saying, "Oh yeah!

Unless they're watching edit filter histories and happened to see that filter 51 was changed to be public, it very likely wouldn't have been prudent of anyone to just go try looking at it - especially knowing how long this filter has been in operation and the fact that it's always been private since its development. Wikipedia doesn't make a public announcement or anything like that when a filter's restriction settings are changed (thank the Lord), so I very highly doubt that the exposure was caught by any LTAs. Curious: How did you happened to run into that?

Oh, and by the way... if this <i>does</i> happen again (regardless of what filter or who changed it to be public), you definitely want to email the user privately instead of announcing publicly on a user talk that a highly referenced and used edit filter is now public for anyone to read. ;-) Nonetheless, what's done is done, and it serves absolutely no purpose at all to worry and dwell upon it.

Welcome to Wikipedia! When an article or page becomes the subject of repeated <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VAND" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VAND">vandalism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DE">disruption</a>, or even <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EW">edit wars</a> between many editors, administrators will apply <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PP">page protection</a> in order to stop the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DE">disruptive editing</a> (whatever kind it may be) from continuing. However, fear not! Once your account becomes four days old and once you have made at least 10 edits using your account, it will automatically become a <i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CONFIRMED" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CONFIRMED">confirmed account</a>,</i> which is required in order to be able to edit <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SEMI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SEMI">semi-protected</a> pages. Once your account reaches this threshold, the number of article pages that you'll still be restricted from editing will reduce <i>significantly</i>. In my experience over the years on Wikipedia, I'll say that 90% of the time you run into a protected page, you'll find that it's just <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SEMI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SEMI">semi-protected</a>. With a confirmed account, you need not worry at all, and you'll be able to edit it like you would if it wasn't protected at all. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. :-) Happy editing! <a href="/wiki/User:Oshwah" title="User:Oshwah"><b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b></a><sup><small><b><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Oshwah" title="User talk:Oshwah"><span style="color:blue">(talk)</span></a> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Oshwah" title="Special:Contributions/Oshwah"><span style="color:green">(contribs)</span></a></b></small></sup> 21:18, 31 January 2024 (UTC) <dl><dd>I have met all requirements, my question is that why is the edit button on articles with semi-protection only letting me edit in the source version instead of the visual version?
