January 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Joe Paterno‎‎, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 08:43, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can look at the above link "bad practice" for talk page guidelines, specifically the section WP:REDACT regarding your own comments. Don't worry, this is a normal learning curve. I usually like to have threads in one place, so just respond here if you have any following questions. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 17:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:57, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paterno edits

I don't edit much now on wikipedia but have several thousand edits on wikipedia on the past and am trusted on Wikicommons to mark images. (I have a second account on Commons but I disclose this fact to everyone) So, I suppose, I can make edits and submissions freely to semi-protected articles which are designed to stop anonymous IP's from vandalising them. I'll make a response to the Paterno talkpage but I'm afraid I cannot have an overly long discussion with you as I have to work in the real world on weekdays. As for Paterno, I don't know the guy but I can sympathise with his sad and tragic end. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Its only articles that are fully protected which can only be edited by Admins and not even registered users like me who have never vandalised a single wikipedia article. Paterno's wiki article is semi-protected I suppose because the Admins welcome useful (and presumably well-sourced) contributions to his article but want to stop anonymous IP's from vandalising it to bits and pieces. But as I said, I direct more of my activities today at WikiCommons due to all the edit wars here among different editors and spamming which really turn off some very good users sadly. An Admin on wikipedia I trust is MBisanz from NY. You can ask him questions if you wish. I hope this helps. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I deleted a section of the Paterno article I submitted by Fulbright--on her conclusions since it did seem a bit over the top and repetitive as you say and shortened that sub-chapter a lot on Paterno. We'll that's it. I have to go now. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific? You've made quite a few edits in the last couple of days.

Hmm. I think it probably could be included without violating copyright ... Lord knows I've included longer quotes in articles I've written (see Anna Wintour, particularly the "responses" section). Perhaps, in the interest of brevity, most of it could be paraphrased, but I don't see copyright as a problem in such a short quote. I will say so on the talk page.

In response to your feedback

My opinion: If your sources are good (WP:RS) then just do it. Take it to talk if it needs discussion later. If the sources are not good - do more research.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Joe Paterno. Thank you. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:14, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
