Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, was not aware. I'll keep that in mind! Drdr150 (talk) 16:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, I made the same mistake when I started out! Also be sure to add in the articles title so they know which article you are talking about. Highly reccomend using Wikipedia:Twinkle. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Drdr150/dQw4w9WgXcQ

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Drdr150/dQw4w9WgXcQ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Archives at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects

[edit]

Hello! Please don't remove or clean up content from the request page - it needs to be properly archived (almost always by an automated bot account) and in this case it wasn't. LR.127 (talk) 02:55, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! Did not know that. Sorry! Drdr150 (talk) 02:56, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism warnings

[edit]

Please keep in mind previous warnings when additing new warnings on user talk page. User_talk:Pro1212khalil already has 3 warnings for similar behavior. The latest edit was clear vandalism. ElENdElA (talk) 18:34, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I apologize. I will do so in the future. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 18:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

regarding your message

[edit]

Can you tell me which article please?I think it was an accident because it is my 3rd day editing Wikipedia Breck0530 (talk) 19:28, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, give me a second. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was Faleolo International Airport, in which you removed content without adequate explanation. It did, however, have the "newcomer task" tag, so was almost certainly a good faith edit. Have a good one! drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:15, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, for that one I checked the airlines website and it said that they didn't offer flights there anymore so I removed to avoid confusion. Although, I forgot to explain why in description. Sorry Breck0530 (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's all good. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:41, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Warning vandals of AIV reports

[edit]

Hello Drdr150. I noticed you warned a vandal that they were being reported to WP:AIV. This is actually unnecessary and may even be detrimental, as it introduces the vandal to a noticeboard page that they can then vandalize (in other words, don't give them ideas). At the very least, it goes against the spirit of denying recognition, as many vandals seek attention and enjoy receiving threats and warnings from others. Once a user vandalized past a Level 4 warning, it's best to report them to AIV and then leave it at that, without engaging with the vandal any further. There is consensus that alerting the vandal to AIV is counterproductive; see this April 2024 TfD, December 2023 TfD, and AIV talk page thread. Vandal fighting is a fun activity (I've been doing it for over a decade!), but at the end of the day, we don't want the vandals to find it as enjoyable as we do. :) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! I will improve that from now on. Thanks! I appreciate all that you do for this site. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 17:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Abusive e-mails?

[edit]

Hi, Drdr150. I read the section "Sending users emails for no reason" on DotesConks' page. If that user, or any user, has sent you objectionable e-mails, I recommend you to forward them to the Arbitration committee at arbcom-en@wikimedia.org with full headers and with a covering explanatory note (feel free to mention my name). This seems especially advisable since you and DotesConk seem to disagree about what was in the message(s) - DotesConk writes "So now you have resorted to lying about what I've said to make me look bad".

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

[edit]

Please don't leave comments like this [1] at the talk pages of blocked and globally locked users. All you are doing is feeding the trolls by responding to their comments, and encouraging them to vandalize more. Please don't do that again. Fathoms Below (talk) 21:04, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, my mistake. Thank you for informing me, and I'll get back to editing as usual. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 21:15, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Drdr150, I can understand why you posted what you did, especially after going through a hard time of your own. I worked with Dotes when they were starting out here and I am shocked at how they changed over the past two months. I never guessed they would be so bitter and offensive. Even seeing them as a vandal and troll, it's hard to read harsh words, especially when you're going through a difficult period. But I wanted to affirm what Fathoms Below said, our general attitude towards trolls like them is "RBI", Revert, Block and Ignore. I hope that things are looking up for you now. Liz Read!
