Welcome BiliousBob!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 40,948,579 registered editors!
Hello BiliousBob. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm S0091, 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

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
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please 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 your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Sincerely, S0091 (talk) 15:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)[reply]

I really miss Italian food. BiliousBob (talk) 15:44, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Calzone—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Serols (talk) 15:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to U' pastizz 'rtunnar. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Serols (talk) 15:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Zucchine alla scapece, you may be blocked from editing. Serols (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will take your advice BiliousBob (talk) 18:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread has been archived

Teahouse logo

Hi BiliousBob! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, I am prospectively here., has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.


The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Portuguese cuisine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Black bean. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to a second level section

[edit]

I have deleted your question from Talk:Lemonade. It was not about how to improve the artice, but a technical question. Help:Contents can direct yo to appropriate boards for technical questions. I have copied your question and have an answer.

I’ve been trying for an hour to figure out how to link to Brown lemonade directly from an edit to a different article, and I can’t. BiliousBob (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

"[[Lemonade#Brown lemonade|browm lemodade]]" will appear as browm lemodade. For more information, see Section linking. Good luck. BiologicalMe (talk) 15:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have read and reread the section linking article, nothing in it helps with what I’m trying to get done. Thank you for your reply. BiliousBob (talk) 15:55, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you show me here? I might be able to troubleshoot. Which article, and where? If there's a broken link of some kind in the article you are working on, you could do things correctly and they won't work. Mind you, I'm the person who just spelled "brown" with an "m". BiologicalMe (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind. I see it worked. BiologicalMe (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve just managed to solve it, thank you for offering to help.

What I had to do is switch to desktop view of Wikipedia on my phone, copy the section link, and adjust that in my coding.

Through the coding information in the help section, I shouldn’t have had to do that, but it finally worked. BiliousBob (talk) 16:11, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I didn't think of the editing tool as the issue. Good to know for future reference. Happy editing. BiologicalMe (talk) 16:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m very good at following directions as from Wikipedia help pages, but I hadn’t thought of going to the desktop view to find different link information. The desktop view on my iPhone has been a problem when making coding decisions previously, but now consider it an alternative source.

Thanks again. BiliousBob (talk) 16:28, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Forced image sizes

[edit]

Warning icon Please stop adding forced image sizes to articles, as you keep doing at Indian cuisine. As it clearly states at WP:IMAGESIZE
Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting.
The bold is in the guideline, not something I have added. - Arjayay (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Indian cuisine, you may be blocked from editing.
You have clearly been told that forced image sizes are against the guidelines, but continue to add them, causing unnecessary work for others - Arjayay (talk) 16:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Indian cuisine.
You have clearly been told, multiple times, that forced image sizes are against the guidelines, but continue to add them - Arjayay (talk) 17:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Arjayay, adding an image size, even though it is undesirable for most images in most articles, generally doesn't rise to the level of needing three increasingly angry warnings within the space of a couple of hours. We don't generally block people for trying their best, just like we don't generally revert edits just because they've got the formatting wrong. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:35, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t see the warnings, but now I have seen them. I take your meaning. BiliousBob (talk) 12:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop iconPlease stop breaking up paragraphs into 2-3 line paragraphs. This is not an accepted format for writing featured articles in Wikipedia.Pied Hornbill (talk) 12:03, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020

[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Stop breaking paragraphs up into standalone sentences with no reason given, as you have been doing in multiple article. This does not conform to standard writing practices, often detaches references from the sentences that they support and wastes other editors' time to fix. --Chefallen (talk) 04:04, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Etiquette

[edit]

I recently encountered a note you left just over a year ago on the page Kerala cuisine. The "clarification needed" template should not be used to leave notes like the one from this diff. I would encourage you to review your own edit history to remove any other comments that might take such a profane tone. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:11, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
