December 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - MrX 20:54, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page ViralVideoify has been reverted.
Your edit here to ViralVideoify was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/ViralVideoify) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:59, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mediran. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Winter storm Euclid without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Mediran (t • c) 02:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Winter Storm names

Hello, I'm United States Man. I noticed that you have recently been engaged in an edit war over the naming of December 17–22, 2012 North American blizzard and December 25–28, 2012 North American blizzard. Keep in mind the three-revert-rule. It was decided that the TWC names will not be used on wikipedia and the only mention of these names would be in a redirect to the main article. See Talk:November 2012 nor'easter and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012-13 U.S. winter storm season for the discussions. User:TornadoLGS has started a discussion at Talk:December 25–28, 2012 North American blizzard so this can be discussed again (although it shouldn't need to be discussed again). You should join the discussion if you think there is a valid reason that the TWC names should be used. Remember, The Weather Channel is not official so don't try to state that as a reason to use the TWC names in the discussion. Cheers, United States Man (talk) 05:26, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Consider the above comment as a warning. If you continue the change to the TWC names it may be considered vandalism and you may end up being blocked from editing. United States Man (talk) 05:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Twerking.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rich Farmbrough

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 Rich Farmbrough requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Buggie111 (talk) 01:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rich Farmbrough

The article Rich Farmbrough has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. j⚛e decker^talk 02:11, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at List of Wikipedians by number of edits, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Please stop creating articles until you have read, carefully, Wikipedia:Your first article. In particular, no more articles that are copies of user pages or pages in the Wikipedia namespace. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:41, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

It was encyclopedic.--Cotten134 (talk) 02:42, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Oceanh

I see you are new here. It's not a good idea to edit the user pages of others, please use the talk page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I saw they did not have a Userpage.--Cotten134 (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes. Imagine intentionally so, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Two accounts

Hello, Cotten134. I am Buggie111. While looking over your previous edits, I have come across contributions by User talk:75.139.106.179 that look a lot like your contributions. They probably are yours, which is why I want to tell you of the following: Please, in the future, always try to log in. While a minor edit from your IP every once in a while won't hurt the wiki, any conflicts which you get involved in with both your username and ip address could lead to charges of sock puppetry against you. All the best, Buggie111 (talk) 16:30, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Oooh, okay, it is just hard to remember to log in sometimes, but I'll remember in the future. And it seems like it would not be sockpuppetry as you say because it is only one registered account. I am not sure that is my IP anyway.--Cotten134 (talk) 17:54, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

IP's and registered accounts are equal when, for example, they're edit-warring, a user using a registered account and an IP in an arguement is in as much doo-doo as one hwo uses two registered accounts. Glad you understand me. Buggie111 (talk) 18:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, crap, alrighty then.--Cotten134 (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your edit count

Please stop making pointless edits just to up your edit count. Admins don't normally block just for wasting server space, but they will in extreme enough cases. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 11:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Over 10000 registered users each have over 5000 edits, some over 1000000 edits.--Cotten134 (talk) 22:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I know, I'm one of them (over 5,000, of course, not over 1,000,000 - I think only 2 people have done that). What's your point, exactly? I assure you that none of Wikipedia's most prolific contributors got their edit counts to where they are by making pointless test edits to the Sandbox. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 03:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
