Hello, PlanetDeadwing. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Jax 0677, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't commit vandalism
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Proposed deletion of Little Rock nightclub shooting edit

 

The article Little Rock nightclub shooting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

October 2017 edit

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
   Edits such as this for example. The highest deaths figure I have found is 59 (plus perp.) You need to expalain changes like this.

  Hello, I'm Doniago. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Snakes on a Plane seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Eglwyswrw edit

Sorry to undo your edit on Eglwyswrw - it did not seem right to me (as a local). If you have a published source for your edit, perhaps it might be re-included. The IPA pronunciations seems OK. Cheers, Tony Holkham (Talk) 12:35, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Tenable, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

ArbCom 2017 election voter message edit

Hello, PlanetDeadwing. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

January 2018 edit

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhDv2.0 19:39, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Notice edit

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Please self-revert edit

Please self-revert what you just did at the Donald Trump racial views article and talk page. There is live discussion on the talk page, there's an AfD discussion on possibly deleting the article, and what you just chose to do unilaterally is neither helpful nor was it discussed. In short, it was completely disruptive. You'd be well advised to move on this immediately. -- ψλ 02:52, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

January 2018 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Racial views of Donald Trump, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - MrX 🖋 03:03, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at HMHS Britannic, you may be blocked from editing. I wanted to assume good faith on this, but it's difficult to do so when I see you've been warned about this before. DonIago (talk) 17:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for February 8 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Say Uncle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Americanism (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

March 2018 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Arguments for and against drug prohibition, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dan Schneider edit

Edits such as this are unacceptable on wikipedia. You need very solid sources for any material of this sort (i.e. not TMZ, National Enquirer), otherwise wikipedia is open to legal action. Please read WP:BLP. MaxBrowne (talk) 03:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

June 2018 edit

  Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Many Too Many, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:10, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on IQ (band). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Good talker but, as for your reading ... edit

Hi PlanetDeadwing. We might agree on some important topics yet I feel I must, sadly, take issue with you on a particular aspect - that of your non-following of Wikipedia guidelines. Please correct me if I am wrong.

There is evidence of your talking. This contrasts - perhaps completely? - with your reading of this page - your own Talk page - you've never replied to any post made here, to date.

The particular WP guideline I'm referring to is as in Help:Edit summary#Always provide an edit summary. I note that numerous other editors have tried to bring this to your attention, seemingly in vain(?).

I do hope you read this and, of course - as others would doubtless echo - I would genuinely appreciate it if you could grace us with your own thoughts on this matter. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 20:29, 4 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to reply to messages left on my Talk Page.
PlanetDeadwing (talk) 9:58 pm, Today (UTC+1)

Thanks for the reply, PD. Hope you don't mind, but I've copied it to here, to keep the thread together. You've proved me wrong, then - you do read your talk page :) So then, would you try to include more Edit Summaries to help your fellow-editors, &/or do you have any thoughts, e.g. on WP or ESs? Regards, Trafford09 (talk) 21:25, 4 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Bernie Sanders mittens meme edit

On 12 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bernie Sanders mittens meme, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Bernie Sanders mittens meme has raised nearly $2 million for Vermont charities? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bernie Sanders mittens meme. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Bernie Sanders mittens meme), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

August 2021 edit

Just to let you know that I reluctantly reverted your edit to the article SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant as the claim that it's the "most dangerous" strain globally was not supported by the existing source (Ref. 25, WHO report)[1]. However, after doing a Google search, it seems the claim can be supported by reliable sources, for example, the Economist [2] and there's a Channel 4 [3] one too. So if you want to undo my revert or make the edit afresh, feel free to do so provided you add a quality source and you can put the reference in right after reference 25.
