Welcome!

Hello, Crosstemplejay, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Temple Computer Systems, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 17:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Temple Computer Systems

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 Temple Computer Systems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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.

Optometry in Ghana

Hi crosstemplejay. This article which you created contains lots of details about optometry in general, but not very much on the status and the history of the profession in Ghana. I suggest that you add more material on the history, and (which you have done) the regulatory body. I was thinking of putting it in WP:AfD, but I think there is a potential to the article. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 20:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Ownership of articles

Hi crosstemplejay (talk · contribs). I have noticed that in articles that you have created, such as Eyecare in Ghana and Optometry in Ghana, that you have been signing your name into the article. This is not allowed per WP:OWNER because all articles on Wikipedia are of common ownership. This does not discourage or prevent you from improving the article, however, since your edits are accounted for and credited in the page history. Thanks. Some Wiki Editor (talk) 01:15, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Department of Optometry, KNUST

Sorry, we seem to have been editing Department of Optometry, KNUST at the same time, and confusing each other. I'll stop for a while since you are still adding to the article. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers — Hebrides (talk) 21:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Eye care in the Western Region, Ghana

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 Eye care in the Western Region, Ghana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. 43?9enter (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Eye care in the Western Region, Ghana

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Eye care in the Western Region, Ghana, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 19:49, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Optometry Christian Fellowship, KNUST

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 Optometry Christian Fellowship, KNUST 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 club, 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. LordVetinari (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Optometry Christian Fellowship, KNUST. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. LordVetinari (talk) 14:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Kotokuraba

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Kotokuraba, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page.

Your contributed article, Optometry in the Western Region (Ghana)

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.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Optometry in the Western Region (Ghana). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Eyecare in the Western Region (Ghana). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Eyecare in the Western Region (Ghana) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. RadioFan (talk) 11:20, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Please don't remove the {{mergeto}} template from the article until the discussion is complete. Also, I removed information from the article that you copied and pasted from here which was a copyright violation. I will check the rest of the article and if you have any questions on Wikipedia policy, let me know.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:29, 26 March 2011 (UTC) Also, are files like this and this really your own work? Logos are usually done with a fair use rationale.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I removed more copied and pasted text from the article as they were copyright infringements. Regarding the three images in the article, you haven't answered whether they were your own work. I located sources from them below that I believe are the originators. I have requested speedy deletion of them on the Commons.
See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more information on copyrights and how they apply to Wikipedia. If you have any questions, let me know.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Health in Ghana

I noticed that you left a comment on Health in Ghana in Ghana recently, and I decided to expand it. If you help with the expansion in the next couple days, I would definitely share DYK credit! Sadads (talk) 14:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

welcome pages

Please be careful about where you are putting your welcome pages. At least one of the recent ones has been created on the userpages of users, not their talk pages. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 12:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

I also have a couple of concerns, if you're willing to listen. (1) We typically don't leave welcome messages on accounts that haven't edited, mostly because often it is unclear if the person has any intent on staying or just makes an account because they are prompted to. (2) You are welcoming roughly 5 users per minute, which is tending to clutter up Special:RecentChanges. You don't have to correct either of these, but in my opinion it would be nice if you could slow down your welcoming or reserve it only for when you notice a new user first edit. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

I will heed the advise, then maybe you will award me a barnstar. LOL. hope to check you out more you have a very impressive record both in life and on Wikipedia. Once again, thanks. God bless.

Thanks :) Syrthiss (talk) 13:31, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
I've been talking to a few administrators whose opinion I trust, and seeing as you haven't changed your behavior I'm going to have to strongly recommend you cut back / slow down on your welcoming. First, as I said above you are welcoming users who have no edits yet, which is contrary to the guidelines in Wikipedia:Welcoming_committee#Users_without_any_edits. Second, you are making too many of the same action a minute, approaching bot-like speeds. I expect that you have nothing but good intentions, but I'd really prefer if you could adhere to the guidelines. If you feel any part of this is unclear, please reply here and we can work out any misunderstandings. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)


Syrthiss, thanks for you continuing to watch over me. I totally understand your request, sorry for slipping over. I have tried from yesterday to avoid putting in the phrase: "THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS" rather i am encouraging them to add to Wiki. I will however stop my welcoming if it is causing a problem. Hope you continue to check up on me. But, I still am expecting my barnstar. LOL. are you on facebook or something? Would love to chat sometime. Thanks once again.

Mortmain (Greene story)

Hi Crosstemplejay/Archive 1. Thank you for patrolling new pages. Patrolling is an essential function at Wikipedia, not only to prevent the wrong kind of pages staying online, but also to do some basic research and tag them for attention. The article you tagged CSD-A7 and CSD-A7 would have been better tagged with a {{Db-multiple|A1|A7}} to save placing two separate templates on the page. You should also remember to place the special warning template on the creator's talk page (I've done this for you this time).

There is currently a drive to improve the quality of patrolling - you can help! Please read WP:NPP (recently updated) - it will make your patrolling so much easier for you, and if there's anything that is still not clear, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. You may even wish to make your own suggestions for improvement of the NPP page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:43, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Lauren Davies

Hello Crosstemplejay. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Lauren Davies, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Jonathan Crary

I notice that you tagged the page Jonathan Crary for speedy deletion with the reason "CSD-A7". While that's a valid reason for speedy deletion in general, this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because the article gives sufficient assertion of notability. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, or using the WP:AFD process. Thanks! Catfish Jim & the soapdish 19:49, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Slow down

Hi mate, I see that you've been patrolling the Special:NewPages log and it's great you have such enthusiasm, but please slow down when tagging articles for deletion and clean up. I saw you recently tag an article as an unreferenced BLP, but BLP stands for biography of a living person and you used on a plant/animal article! Also for catimprove please note that for quite a few articles three categories might be all that is needed. Also please take a lot more time when considering whether to tag an article for speedy deletion because an incorrect tag can scare off new users, which Wikipedia needs. Remember that Twinkle is a privilege, not a right, and it can be removed from you. Jenks24 (talk) 20:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Efrain Amezcua Speedy delection

Why speedy delection? He is a player with World Cup Appareances!Alexxander3000 (talk) 20:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Please note that I have declined the speedy as the player would be kept in an AfD. To Crosstemplejay, please note what I said before and slow down. Also review the criteria before tagging an article for speedy deletion; appearing in a World Cup is clearly a credible claim of significance or importance. Jenks24 (talk) 20:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol

Thanks for helping out here, but please have a read of Wikipedia:New pages patrol before tagging any more "difficult" pages. NPP takes a little getting used to, so it might be an idea to slow down and concentrate on tagging the less ambiguous new articles first.Catfish Jim & the soapdish 22:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Please go back and read Wikipedia: New pages patrol. Tagging something for A7 so soon after creation is extremely hostile to new editors. Have you observed that the editor is still in their first hour. Please read WP:BITE and understand that your actions, while well meaning, are far over the edge in terms of their anxiousness to get things out. Should you continue to quickly tag items I will raise the concern on the appropriate forums that you are not doing a service to the project and ask for your twinkle privilages to be removed. Hasteur (talk) 18:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Hasteur, thanks for the advice but if a new contributor starts an article that is against the norms of WP I believe that that work ought to be rightly sanctioned so that we do not encourage spams etc. Crosstemplejay 18:39, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Brake (charity)

Hi. I'm not sure why you reinstated material to this article (here) when it's unsourced and borderline vandalism. I've removed the material - please discuss with me or on the talk page before re-adding. TNXMan 18:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Article tagging (again)

Please actually review articles before you tag them. Here you tagged an article as unreferenced, when it clearly had three references listed in a references section (and one was even inline cited!). Your tagging could drive away new editors (please read WP:BITE, as has been suggested above). Jenks24 (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been warned several times to slow down in your new page patrolling. Perhaps this will finally get your attention. Please review WP:NPP and the criteria for speedy deletion. You need to stop and review your edits before making them. Note to other admins: This block can be lifted early if the user understands what's going on. TNXMan 19:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

TN, sorry for any harm I may have caused to certain WP contributors. I must say everything I have done so far in WP has been out of my best intentions. I have carefully gone through the various text and will make the necessary changes. Thanks a lot. Hope you change my block. To err is human to forgive - divine. Crosstemplejay 22:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
I have fixed a formatting error in your post. Hope you don't mind -- John of Reading (talk) 22:50, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Newbury Abbot Trent

Please see my comments on this article's page. I am sure that you have a job to do but it would do no harm for you to know that comments written in such an arbitrary and curt fashion cause considerable offence to those who have written an article in good faith. I found it totally crushing! I have written several articles for wikipedia and have enjoyed doing so but will approach any future efforts with great trepidation. Weglinde (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Weglinde, I am very sorry for causing you so much. I accept the fact that my actions were flawed, though I had no intention of vandalising your work. It was a mistake. Once again sorry. I hope you will continue to contribute to WP. Please accept this as a peace offering. Crosstemplejay 21:59, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

You want this article to be deleted - shouldn't you try to give reasons ?? Obviously, someone removed your message - was it you???? Martinp1 (talk) 17:25, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Your signature

Please change your signature. Per WP:CUSTOMSIG, a signature must link to either your talk page or user page or both. In your case, it does not link to either, hence I suggest that you change the same asap. —Abhishek Talk to me 18:19, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Abhishek191288 the problem arose because we happened to have been editing the same page at the same time. I rather decided to give your edits preference hence the change. I think I rather deserve recommendation from you. --Crosstemplejay 18:22, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm not talking about both of us ending in welcoming User:Tamilkallan. But of your signature. You have customised your signature from your preferences, but it does not meet the guidelines at WP:CUSTOMSIG. Your signature as of now is: Crosstemplejay. PS: A sugnature must link to your talk page or user page or both. Please read the links I have provided and kindly change your signature. —Abhishek Talk to me 18:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Abhishek191288, thanks a lot, it took me some time to understand what you meant by my signature not being in line. I realized that my preferences page had been saved in a funny manner thereby causing that problem. Thanks once again. CrossTempleJay (talk) 18:50, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

"Help Tips"

Hello, have you proofread the "Help Tips" you are leaving on user pages? I came across this one [1] that has some obvious mistakes with the link and the lack of a link. Also, it's proper to refer to Wikipedia as Wikipedia, "Wiki" is a generic term.

While it's admirable to leave your personalized message to new users, there's clear benefits to using the welcoming templates as well --CutOffTies (talk) 14:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

CutOffTies, thanks. I have corrected the error.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 14:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
(ec)I'm also concerned about your welcome template. The statement, "No matter how little you may know about a topic, check it out on Wiki, if you find it, add to it or make changes backed with references" is misleading. It only mentioned references in the context of making changes. However, in the vast majority of cases, editors should not be adding unreferenced material to any Wikipedia articles. Only material that truly cannot be challenged can be added unreferenced. I think it would be better to add some wikilinks in there and change the phrasing to clarify that people should add information that is verified by reliable sources. Like CutOffTies, I do find the welcoming of new users to be a positive thing, but I feel it may be disconcerting to them if they get conflicting information about what may or may not be proper WP behavior. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Qwyrxian, I have already addressed it. Thanks anyway. --CrossTempleJay (talk) 14:19, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Charles Ntakirutinka‎

I saw that you flagged Charles Ntakirutinka‎ as needing reliable sources, but I didn't see any elaboration on the talk page. Currently it's sourced from two BBC stories, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch... would you not consider these as meeting the criteria? Thanks for any guidance you can give. Best wishes, Khazar (talk) 17:27, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

After seeing from the comments above that this appears to be a running issue, I'm provisionally removing the tag from the page. However, if you'd like to let me know what additional sources you'd like to see via the article's talk page, I'll be glad to work with you to address any concerns. All best, Khazar (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Due to Wikipedia's criteria for BLP's is important that you add a lot more references. It is a good article just do a little more to make it stand tall. Keep going, it will soon be great.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry to say I'm still having trouble understanding your objection. Can you point me to the specific criterion you're seeing that I'm missing? It appears to me that I have four reliable sources here. Is there a particular threshhold that I haven't noticed before?Khazar (talk) 17:34, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Khazar, my tag was just to alert you so no one would nominate your good article for speedy deletion. If you have added more to the article in terms of references for BLP then no problem. Thanks for the feedback.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 17:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
To clarify, those sources have been in there from the first post of the article.--Khazar (talk) 21:54, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

DAB pages and sourcing

Please read disambiguation page guidelines, and from that it should be clear that DAB pages are never sourced. Thanks --HXL's Roundtable and Record 17:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Advice

I'm not sure what your intended purpose here at Wikipedia is, however I observe that you're spending a very significant amount of time in the user talk space. It's great to contribute to the community, but posting when you exceed certain thresholds for edit counts is frowned upon by the community and seems that you're more interested in the social networking rather than building an encyclopedia. Your large percentage of user space edits is to the point that should you stand for advanced privilages (such as administrator) several people would have significant problems with your candidacy. I suggest you take a day or two to consider what you can do to help build (or maintain) an encyclopedia. Hasteur (talk) 19:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I would however, like to tell you that one of first problems on WP was having my articles deleted, this I attribute to the fact that I did not have the right mentorship when I first arrived. I therefore like to welcome newbies and then show then how things are done so that from my mistakes they may learn to do better. I must say that I seriously work on NPP so my sole work on WP is not only welcoming. Thanks once again. --CrossTempleJay (talk) 20:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Question please

Good day! Please if you could explain me why have you put Ad tag on my page Auslogics Registry Cleaner while I carefully wrote this article following each and every rule of Wikipedia and carefully using every - every word in my article, because I know the rules and how important the contribution should be. Please if you could reconsider putting the ad tag on my page. God bless you and Thank You for understanding! Best regards to you and your family. Ashleyjonesme (talk) 21:19, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I have re-examined your article and have removed. Good day to you too.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 21:25, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Again?

Can you please clarify why you've marked Azam Farmonov as in need of wikification? Earlier today you marked one of my articles as in need of sources despite its already containing four reliable sources, and an inline citation for every sentence; when I asked you for clarification (above), you declined to do so. This marking appears to me to be equally unjustified--I can only assume you're doing these in great haste, as several users above have suggested. I'm happy to make any changes you'd suggest, but for now I'm removing the tag unless you'd care to come to the article to justify it. Khazar (talk) 21:40, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I've proceeded similarly on Alisher Karamatov, which you also flagged. Khazar (talk) 21:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Due to Wikipedia's criteria for BLP's is important that you add a lot more references. It is a good article just do a little more to make it stand tall. Keep going, it will soon be great.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 17:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
I am commenting on your articles because I believe they have potential. Again I responded to your early request on your talk page. You can check. Have a good day. --CrossTempleJay (talk) 21:45, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate that you think my articles "have potential," but that isn't the issue here; the issue is putting tags on articles that don't appear to require them, without pausing to clarify your reasons. I'm fairly inexperienced with Wikipedia, but it does seem to me unwise to flag articles as in violation of policy if they don't violate said policy, right? I'm happy to wikify these articles to your liking, but please point to what part of the Wikification guidelines you think those two articles violate--or BLP, which you're now directing me toward instead. These articles have four references apiece, and every sentence is referenced--do the BLP guidelines call for more, and if so, can you point me to a specific clause where they do?
My suspicion is that this flagging will turn out to be erroneous, as we seemed to agree that your earlier flagging of Charles Ntakirutinka was. For now I've removed the tags, pending further explanation.Khazar (talk) 21:51, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Note

Hi,

Thanks for patrolling new pages. When you use a BLP prod, please be sure to check carefully that there really are no references. On Chrysostomos P. Panayiotopoulos, there were references but they weren't displaying properly because the creator had forgotten to add the {{reflist}} tag, which is quite a common mistake. You can tell because of the red error message at the bottom of the page. Best, --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:40, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, looking at your contribs, it seems that the {{expert}} tags you added to National Hurling League 1930–31 and National Hurling League 1932–33 are unneccessary, as there doesn't seem to be a problem with those articles for an expert to address. The template documentation says: "Important: After adding this template to an article, please state on the article's talk page the issue that you think an expert needs to address. Unexplained expert tags may be simply removed."
Please slow down and take the time to read through each article carefully and think about whether it needs tags. If you're not sure you can always leave it unpatrolled. I see you've created quite a few nice articles yourself , so you can understand how annoying it is for article creators to have inaccurate tags added to their articles.--Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Physics is all gnomes, its always nice to hear and see others commenting about my effort, especially in the constructive way you go about you concerns. I have duly noted them. Thanks. --CrossTempleJay (talk) 23:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Cool, thanks for taking it on board. Happy editing.--Physics is all gnomes (talk) 23:03, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I am writing to elucidate why a clean up tag was posted on my recently created page Zerona. I would like to ensure my article adheres to all necessary policies and procedures that have been established here at Wikipedia. I look forward to your response.

Hello, Crosstemplejay. You have new messages at Ryanmasu11's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

(Ryanmasu11 (talk) 04:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC))

Ryanmasu11, I put the tag there because articles need to have leads, sections, references etc to make them stand out as a good one. Good article though but just try to break them up into various heading to make the text look and read better. CrossTempleJay (talk) 18:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

How many categories would it fit into?

I'm curious about your recent edit to a page I just created. [2] How many categories do you think it belongs in? Its a browser based game, that the only category that it fits in. And one is actually enough. If you can think of others it might belong it, it'd make more sense to just add them yourself, instead of putting a tag down there. Dream Focus 18:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Dream focus, I placed the tag there so you could try and add more categories to the one you have this is because as I read through your work I realized that it was a recent game. It would just be better if you add more.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

To welcome or not to welcome

Hi, Crosstemplejay. I see you're new here, and I well remember that there's a steep learning curve. Here, for instance, you rolled out the welcome mat for someone who has made zero constructive contributions to the encyclopedia, whose every edit has been reverted, and who is now indefinitely blocked. If you're going to welcome your fellow newbies, please check first whether they're here to be constructive or destructive. This is a simple matter of reviewing their recent edits (the syntax en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/username works for this). Thanks for your help! Cheers, Rivertorch (talk) 19:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Your PROD of Adastra Corporation

Dear Crosstemplejay

I note that you have proposed Adastra Corporation for deletion. I see that you have gone through most of the procedures desirable when doing so, including notifying the article's creator - but you do not seem to have stated your reasons for prodding it anywhere (the most common place is in the proposed deletion template itself, immediately after "concern=" - only a few words are needed). I can see several reasons why you would have PRODded the article, some reasonably good, others not. But, to help other editors, you really should have given your actual reasons.

Newbee help

You recently tagged my first article SmartSound with 'This article is written like an advertisement.' I think I see what you mean and I made these changes:

The company is focused on providing royalty free music that can be quickly and easily created to a custom length using their patented software.

changed to

The company is focused on providing royalty free music that can be made to a custom length using their patented software.

Is this what you were looking for?

Can I remove the tags of editors when I think I have fixed the issue, or should I get an OK first? Craigtheskier (talk) 21:32, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I have seen the changes you have made. Add more to the article to wikify it. I will review the work to remove the tag soon. Great work so far.CrossTempleJay (talk) 23:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I can't edit The Fox and the Hound

What do I do? Animationismylife (talk) 00:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Animationismylife, the page you are trying to edit is protected. That is why you cannot edit it. It is done to prevent vandalism. In order to edit such pages with a padlock sign on, you have to have permission. The commonest one you may need to do so is being a member of the autoconfirmed group. This is gotten after 10 good edits and being on Wiki for 4 days. Hope this helped.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 00:41, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Riserva Naturale Pian di Spagna e Lago di Mezzola

Hi! What exactly did you think needed cleaning up in this stub-sized article?
Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:35, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Follow-up: To aid you in replying, I attach here the text of the whole article as it currently stands. Please specify precisely which aspects thereof in your opinion require clean-up:

The Riserva Naturale Pian di Spagna e Lago di Mezzola is a nature reserve in Lombardy, Italy. It consists of the Lago di Mezzola and the wetland area which separates it from Lake Como, the Pian di Spagna. It includes parts of the comuni of Sorico and Gera Lario in the province of Como, and of the comuni of Dubino, Verceia and Novate Mezzola in the province of Sondrio.[1]

Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Clean up has to do with you article structure, though it is a stub, you could put the heading ==references== on top of the reflist. That should make it look more wikified. CrossTempleJay (talk) 07:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
OK, NP, go ahead and do that if you want (but capitalise References please); it would have been far quicker to do it right off than to place a tag. And you might remove the tag, which is misplaced. If you want an article to clean up, I can probably suggest one to you. That might be more productive than careering about tagging stuff. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup

Hi! Were you the one who added the cleanup tag to my new article? (Draft Trotter). I just created it today, so of course it's all a little messy in the start, but I'd love it if you could give me some pointers to what it actually is that needed cleanup. I'm a little fuzzy on what it is that needs improvement and what doesn't. Thanks! And of course I'll continue editing until I have a result I'm happy with.

Ghana districts / manual of style

Hi, I noticed you creating a few articles on districts in Ghana. I presume you're working from a template, or copy/pasting; you might be interested to read MOS:DATE which outlines the manual of style for dates and numbers. We don't tend to link dates at all, and the format "29 February 2008" would be preferred to "the 29th of February 2008". It's not a big deal, but if you're going to be creating lots of these, it's probably be easier for you to change the one you're working from. Also, I'm not sure if you're planning to go back and make major edit on each of these - the {{inuse}} template may not be necessary for all of them. :) --BelovedFreak 15:05, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Belovedfreak, thanks for the correction. Will implement them promptly. And for the second part of your concern, I am indeed going to build them all up. Thanks once again.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 15:14, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
No problem. --BelovedFreak 15:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Maxima, Kumasi seems to be mixed up with another place. Please sort that. Plerase remove those red linked categories form all and replace with Category:Populated places in Ghana. Please remove "PLaces" and "Casablanca from the infoboxes. Thanks♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Constituencies in Ghana

Hello again, I see you're creating a lot of articles about constituencies. Could you make sure you add a sentence to the lead saying what the article is about? I got quite confused reading one as I thought it was about a person, as it starts with eg. "Joses Asare-Akoto is the member of parliament...". Also, you can't use Wikipedia as a reference, so it's best to keep links to articles as wikilinks, in the see also section if they don't fit elsewhere, not in the references section. Lastly, try to watch links to disambiguation pages and unnecessary repeated links. I'm nitpicking a bit now, but as you're creating so many articles at once, by copy/pasting, it would be helpful to iron out these issues before you do too many more. --BelovedFreak 20:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello too, do you mind if I call you my guiding article angel? I will promptly address the concerns. Thank you very much Belovedfreak. --CrossTempleJay (talk) 20:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Again, no problem. :) --BelovedFreak 20:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Barrhead High School

Hi there. I noticed you removed the references I added to the Barrhead High School page. I included these so that the source may be cited and that my changes were verifiable. I'd just like to ask why you removed them, leaving a big ugly notice at the bottom of the page about reftags and such. Surely it's better to cite sources than leave the page unfinished, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.10.116 (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Barnacled (talk) 22:53, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

This is to let you know that I warned Barnacled about making personal attacks. However, in reviewing that user's talk page, I'd say you've gone overboard. One welcoming-type section is quite sufficient; bombarding someone with five in fifteen minutes is unlikely to be appreciated. I acknowledged your own newbie status in an earlier post, to which you didn't reply, on this page. I'm not sure it's a good thing that welcoming other newbies is your primary activity here, but in any case please use moderation. Thanks. Rivertorch (talk) 03:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Sadads, thank you very much. You have made my day today. I will continue to work every so hard to ensure that my work on Wikipedia is top draw.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 12:06, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
A bit of advice, looking at your edit history, I notice that you are doing high volume of edits welcoming of new users, which is great, but don't push yourself to the point of burnout. I too am a really high volume editor, and found that several months ago that I had worked myself into a rut of making really insignificant edits on pages which I felt didn't bring me happiness. You are a volunteer, so its important to make sure that you are entertained while working on Wikipedia as well. We have a massive Category:Wikipedia backlog and almost any of the areas could use help and the big advantage of hopping around the various backlogs is that you learn alot about what is means to organize, develop and generally present information on WIkipedia, because you get a chance to read a bit of the good, bad and absolutely atrocious articles that find their way on to Wikipedia. Then you can bring that new experience to the content that you develop in the future! Just some advice though, as I said you are doing stuff that is valuable for everyone as it is! Happy editing! Sadads (talk) 13:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I've made changes - can you re-review?

Hi CrossTempleJay! You asked me to improve the categories on my page (which I greatly appreciate - it reads and looks a lot better now!) Would you mind revisiting the page and either giving your blessing or telling me what more I can do to improve the page? Thank you!

Hello, Crosstemplejay. You have new messages at Crosstemplejay's talk page.

{{help me}} I made a page about a week ago labled Hyun Seung, which is related to and was a link from the page Beast (South Korean Band). It was still in the process of being created and adding info. I checked on it today, and now it's gone! Why did this happen? Aznkid15 (talk) 03:33, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

If you check your contributions (linked at the top of every page under "my contributions") you would see that the article is not deleted. Rather it was redirected to the article on the band. If you want to access the page without being redirected, click on this form of the link: Hyun Seung. To do this manually you would go to the page and after being redirected to the band article, you would click on the link at the top of the article which says "(Redirected from Hyun Seung)". According to the page history the reason it was redirected was "person who fails WP:MUSICBIO back to band per talk page discussion". The article was completely unsourced and was about a living person, so I would agree with its redirection.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:47, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
