Singing comments
editNot bad actually for a foreigner. Oh yes, to remind you, please remember to sign your comments with four tides like this ~~~~ (this is a repeat from the Welcome message). If you need any help. Feel free to ask me. :P --Terence Ong Talk 15:39, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- One becomes an admin, if he or she is nominated for adminship at this page, provided the candidate is successful. If he/she fails, the failed candidate will be a normal user just like you and I. I strongly discourage self nomination as chances of getting promoted is very slim. A good admin needs to fight vandalism, be involved in Articles for deletion like voting, and a large number of edits. I myself is not an admin as I feel I don't meet the criteria.
- About knowing you. As Britney Spears article is in my watchlist. Look at the top right hand corner of the page, you will see "my watchlist" in case you didn't know. I saw your edits as the latest one, and your talk page was a red link. I decided to give you a welcome. :P
- I must be much younger than you. An admin needs to be active all the time, with strong involvements in the Wikipedia community, like what I said above. Also, I always feel that article edits are the most important. Signing your comments on all talk pages and places like AFD and Request for adminship should be the way, as they will know who wrote that comment. I hope you will not find me too annoying. :D --Terence Ong Talk 16:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- The Britney Spears page, are you a fan of her? I watched that page just because of vandalism though. Oh yes, Wikipedia's birthday is coming up soon on the 15th. It is going to be a year I since joined here, which I did not become a Wikipediholic. I suggest you should read the guidelines given on the Welcome notice which is above. They are very detailed and good for a newcomer. If you have any doubts about this topics, once again you may like to ask me. Be farmiliar about the policies here, you may also try using the sandbox if you want to test things not appopriate for article editing. If you have any photographs you have taken by yourself, you can upload them to Wikimedia Commons. They can be used on any Wikipedia, or any Wikimedia projects such as Wikinews. However, Fairuse images (for example taken from a website) should be uploaded at Wikipedia itself, as Commons does not recognise fairuse. --Terence Ong Talk 16:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I didn't remove the photo of Ashida Kim. Someone else did. Presumably A: It wasn't a good photo, or B: its copyright status couldn't be determined. You can look in the page history of the article and see if the person who actually did remove the photo gave a reason in their edit summary. --Fire Star 16:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
User
editI'm afraid you are not allowed to create sockpuppet (multiple) accounts. It will be blocked indefinitely, and this will land you in deep trouble, which may result in a ban permanantly. Were you the one who did it? --Terence Ong Talk 16:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
This account has been blocked as an admitted sockpuppet of blocked user Batzarro. Exploding Boy 07:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
