Getting the most from the TeaHouse
Hi, DangerousJXD. It is great to see you making good use of the Teahouse, and I have a suggestion for how to get the most from it. At the moment, your questions are being appended at the bottom of the page, where many people may not get to see them. You might get better responses from more people if you use the big blue "Ask a Question" button (at the top of the Teahouse page), which places your question at the top and it also does some magic that will notify you when there is an answer. --Gronk Oz (talk) 07:54, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- G'day fellow Australian!
- Thanks for taking the time to write on :my user talk page. I have been using :the big blue ask a question button. If :it's supposed to put my questions at :the top like you said, I don't know why :it isn't. I have used that for all my :questions. I thought it was wierd my :question were not at the top.
- --DangerousJXD (talk) 08:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well colour me confused. I wonder if that is a difference with the mobile app ... it might even be worth asking at the Teahouse to see if anybody has come across that before.--Gronk Oz (talk) 14:29, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
I did ask it at the Teahouse. That Talkback thing I left on your page and will leave on your page after this, did I do that right? Thanks Gronk Oz. --DangerousJXD (talk) 21:14, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, that looks perfect. I thought that message might have been put there automatically; I didn't realize you put it there manually. Well done. I also used the "Ask a Question" button on the Teahouse to draw attention to your question, so hopefully between both messages it might get an answer. --Gronk Oz (talk) 22:41, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Editing others' comments
Hi DangerousJXD,
I saw you made this edit to another person's comment at the Teahouse. It's perfectly fine to edit typos, etc. made by other editors that you find in Wikipedia articles; In fact, it's something that's really encouraged. Editing the talk page comments, etc. of other editors, however, is another story altogether. This is generally something you should never do on Wikipedia no matter how good your intentions are. Some people get really upset when their comments are edited by others, even if it was just a small change such as correcting a typo. Like any rule, however, there are exceptions and these are explained in more detail in WP:TPO, but other than those exceptions, you would be best to just leave things as they are and let the person who made the mistake fix it themselves. You can, of course, point out the mistake by leaving them a message on their talk page, but you need to be very tactful as to how you go about doing so. Simple typos, etc, you find in the comments of others are just best ignored unless they are going potentially cause serious problems for other editors. 
- Marchjuly (talk) 04:32, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- I understand 100%. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Are there any other specific rules similar to this I should know about? Let me know here if there is.--DangerousJXD (talk) 04:47, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- In general, a good place to start is by reading through Wikipedia's talk page guidelines. More specifically, I would suggest brushing up on indentation. You didn't indent your post above when you should have done so; You should have began your post with a ":". For your information, I've indented my reply twice to make room for your post if you should choose to fix the indentation yourself. I can fix it for you if you want, but the best way to learn is to try and do it yourself.
- In addition, take a look at "New topics and headings on talk pages". You added the talkback template to the top of my talk page when it should've been added to the bottom. The Teahouse is a special page in that new posts are added to the top of the page; For article talk pages, user talk pages, etc., however, new posts should always be added to the bottom of the page. You can do this manually by clicking "edit" and adding your post to the very bottom or have the system do it for you by clicking "new section" at the very top of the page. If you take another look at my talk page, you'll see that I have moved your post to the bottom.
- Finally, there's really no need to place your signature on a separate line. There's no rule against doing this, but it can create problems with the indentation. The system will automatically indent your signature if you just add the ~~~~ to the end of your post. However, just like when adding a new paragraph. you will have to manually fix the indentation yourself if you add your signature to a separate line. This difference may be hard to visualize, so practice in your sandbox until you can see the difference. - Marchjuly (talk) 06:11, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, thank you for all that useful infomation. I will adress them...
- I will "indent" my posts if I think they need be.
- I am afraid I can not add templates at the bottom because I am using a phone and it won't let me. (I don't have a computer of any kind. LOLZ I know.)
- Last thing noted. Thank you for all that MarchJuly, everything was really useful. If you have anything else as useful as this put it on my talk page. Lastly, did I post this right? :) -DangerousJXD (talk) 06:35, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Your post is fine. There should be an option at the very bottom of every mobile Wikipedia page which allows you to switch from "mobile version" to "desktop version" like on this page here Try scrolling all the way down the next time your on Wikipedia. It may be a little difficult to edit that way on a phone, but you can try it and see how it works. - Marchjuly (talk) 06:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Tried exactly that before and it won't let me type. Wierd. If I post on your page you can go ahead and put it at the bottom just like everyone else would do. Wikilove coming your way-DangerousJXD (talk) 06:49, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

| Awarded to those who have asked a great question on the Teahouse Question Forum. There are no stupid questions, but some are excellent! Good questions are those that reflect serious curiosity about editing and help others learn. | |
| Hey Dangerous, just wanted to thank you for asking a variety of great questions over at the Teahouse, from about SuggestBot, using your sandbox, and finding places to work on building content are all really great ways engaging Wikipedia. Thanks for using the Teahouse.

Disambiguation link notification for September 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dying Light, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Action adventure. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Other Wikipedia account(s)
I've seen you around, and I decided that it's time that I go ahead and ask: What other Wikipedia account(s) have you edited under? From my view (a very experienced view when it comes to spotting seasoned Wikipedia editors, no matter how inexperienced they portray themselves), you clearly are not new to editing Wikipedia. So I'm asking you straight up if your case is an "I used to edit as only an IP address before this," an "I am a WP:Sockpuppet," or an "I'm employing WP:Clean start" matter. No need to reply on my talk page about this either; I currently have your user page/talk page on my WP:Watchlist. So replying here on your talk page is fine and what is best. Flyer22 (talk) 02:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Flyer22! I'm a little flattered! You probably won't believe this, (since you put this here in the first place) I have never edited Wikipedia before now. I have used Wikipedia for a long time but I only signed up recently as DangerousJXD. I don't even know what a sock puppet or clean start is. If an IP address is those numbers some people have as names, I know what they are but I have not used one. (I don't know why or how you would.) If your saying you are suspicious cause I'm uber good at editing (LOLZ), and you think I can't be that good without experience, all I can say to that is, I guess I have picked up things fast by asking questions at the Teahouse and seeing how to do things in edit mode. I'll be here waiting for a reply! :) --DangerousJXD (talk) 03:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Comments.
Hey DangerousJ. I've been watching some interactions you've been having lately, and I want to offer my opinion on a few things:
- People making multiple accounts on Wikipedia for disruptive reasons is a common enough occurrence that people note similarities in behavior, which is one factor that goes into identifying such individuals. Flyer22 noted some of them in your behavior, and I trust her judgment. I know it probably feels like you are being targeted, but if you continue to edit productively, this isn't likely to become a problem.
- This was inappropriate, and I know that you feel otherwise because it was intended as a joke, but that's how I saw it. Joke or not, I don't think it's a great idea to make jokes when your behavior is under scrutiny. That said, arguing with others about the nature of your response is not a good use of your time, so it's probably best to move on be careful about your responses in the future.
- People get notifications when they receive a message on their talk page, so the use of talkback templates, or letting people know you've left a message for them is not really necessary. People also tend to watch talk pages where they leave messages, so you don't need to let them know you've responded to something on your own talk page.
So in short, don't escalate this situation further and keep on making positive contributions like you have been. Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 23:49, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
You're famous
I guess a lot of people must have noticed the recent exchange on the Teahouse, because when I check the list of most-visited User pages (here), you show up about half-way down. That's not especially good or bad, it just shows that your situation has caught lots of people's attention.
So as I JethroBT suggests, the best thing to do is to continue making good contributions to articles (as you have been doing). Then we can all laugh about it once this blows over.--Gronk Oz (talk) 04:41, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Here you go. [1]
Welcome
Welcome!
Hello, DangerousJXD, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.
Did you know that ...
- ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
- ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
- ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
- ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
- ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?
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 {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Edit summaries
Please provide accurate Edit summaries that actually are informative of your changes instead of the gibberish and profanity that you have been using. Thanks. - Bossanoven (talk) 06:00, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Response
I responded at User_talk:Bagumba#Hey_again. Did you need me to ping you each time, or am I on your watchlist?—Bagumba (talk) 05:14, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Bagumba, I would prefer it if you ping me but you don't have to. It's fine if you don't. --DangerousJXD (talk) 05:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Try this: I usually would assume someone would watchlist my user page if they respond to my initial response. You can unwatch once the thread is done. I don't usually ping people on article talk pages unless I definitely need the other person to see it.—Bagumba (talk) 05:39, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Infobox highlights
I saw your edit to Stephen Curry (basketball), changing the oder of infobox highlights. If you weren't already aware, Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association/Style_advice#Infobox_highlights details the format that articles typically follow.—Bagumba (talk) 23:57, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I wrongly assumed (for whatever reason) that the newest achievement goes at the top and oldest at the bottom. Somebody already told me. Thanks for that link, still learning. :) -DangerousJXD (talk) 00:07, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- No problem, it's an understandable consequence of being bold.—Bagumba (talk) 00:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry's accolades are out of place in his infobox in accordance to NBA talk page regulations. Please put the three point contest and skills contest below all-nba and all-nba rookie teams. Thanks.
- Sure will, thanks for that. Read this: [2]. -DangerousJXD (talk) 04:35, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- @DangerousJXD: You might find Template:Welcome-anon helpful, and perhaps more effective than a thread that begins, "It is stupid."—Bagumba (talk) 00:08, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I put that there Bagumba because cullen328 makes a terrific point that people who actually have accounts are more anonymous than actual anonymous accounts. I doubt that IP user actually knows I left a message therefore probably hasn't read that. DangerousJXD (talk) 00:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- It's just a simple declaration that you edit NBA-related articles. Otherwise, there is no obligation. It's a central location where NBA editors can coordinate efforts or get help. While there are many NBA editors, the project can use more input to make it easier to gauge consensus on things. Take a glance at WT:NBA for the most recent discussions.

- One more thing, is there a list of everybody who is a member? -DangerousJXD (talk) 00:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- It is that "click here" link above. It's also visible from WP:NBA.—Bagumba (talk) 00:56, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Picture placement
You're on a roll with adding pictures to NBA articles! A slight improvement you can make on images you add, and on existing ones in articles, would be to strategically place some on the left side. Per MOS:IMAGELOCATION: "It is often preferable to place images of faces so that the face or eyes look toward the text." Keep up the good work.—Bagumba (talk) 05:44, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Refimprove tag
I saw that your removed {{refimprove}} from Space Jam. Your rationale that "There are no 'citation needed' templates so I removed ..." is problematic. A general template at the top of the page does not require inline templates in prose. It's generally used when there are too many issue to tag line by line. On the other hand, you could be arguing that the article was sufficiently sourced, and an inline tag is more appropriate than a general tag. I have no opinion on this article, but something for you to remember for future edit summaries to avoid potential conflicts. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 21:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

- Dont tell Zach LaVine.—Bagumba (talk) 22:00, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Overlinking
Also, some would say your edit at Zach LaVine was WP:OVERLINKing, but that's an ongoing debate.—Bagumba (talk) 22:11, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- Again thanks! On this matter, I think those 2 links were needed because "Bryant" could mean anyone (even though people who aren't just casual fans will know anyway), and there was no link for the movie when it appeared to me there should have been. Again thanks Bugumba. --DangerousJXD (talk) 22:20, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- They were already linked at Zach LaVine#Early life. If your point is that it needed re-mentioning, I wont debate it, but others do. Merely a heads up.—Bagumba (talk) 22:27, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Sasha Grey
I trimmed out the one image from the article as I felt there were too many too close together at the one spot. If you want to place another image, I'd suggest doing so further down the article. Maybe one of the images from 2013? Tabercil (talk) 01:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

- Thanks LightShark1! Kindness is important here on Wikipedia and I myself try to be kind to everyone. On another note, on your user page you said that you hate Minecraft. I couldn't agree more! —DangerousJXD (talk) 09:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Pictures
Hey. I know you love adding pictures to articles, and its great, you are doing a great job. In saying that, its not imperative to add every single picture commons has to a respective article. If you look at this version of Tiago Splitter, the pictures overcrowd the sections and text, and is pushed into the stats sections which is not necessary. Just consider the lay out – preview the changes first, and if the pictures seem too much, then don't add them. Pictures aren't a necessity – people don't come to Wikipedia to look at pictures, that's what Google Images is for! Anyway, keep up the good work, just giving you a heads up. Cheers.

- Hello! I really appreciate anything like this so thanks! Just another thing to add to the pile of knowledge I am building. If you have anything else like this (anything at all, ever) tell me.

The Friendship Barnstar | |
I am writing to tell you that you are one good friend that I've made here on Wikipedia. We both have learned and have been able to focus on improving the encyclopedia, along with getting through some difficult challenges. You learn things more quickly than any other editor that I have ever seen. You demonstrate enthusiasm for whatever project you get involved. You handle disagreements in a responsible way, humble and easily able to move on without getting discouraged. Nothing seems to stop you from editing! There are so many things to admire about your editing. Please keep up the good work - I notice the time and effort you put into your editing. You are a great example to me.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Jordan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doug Collins. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks!
DangerousJXD Thank you for patrolling the user page I made! I'm doing this thing where I go to the teahouse, and look for users that don't have usernames. I make one for them, and leave a note on their tallk page on how to improve their page. It was super hard for me to get started on Wikipedia, and I'm still not really there yet,so I help other people get started like people helped me. By the way, your user page is pretty hilarious! ( I use a kindle so I know what you mean by the different modes, I normally use mobile, and one time I accidentally clicked on the desktop, and I didn't realize I had, I just knew that my Wikipedia was all messed up, and it took me three days to fix it.) (BluJay (talk) 12:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC))
- DangerousJXD do you know of any wikiprojects or groups already make usernames for people, if so what is.it, and if not, how do I make my own wikiproject?(BluJay (talk) 01:18, 28 March 2015 (UTC))
- Hey BluJay! I hope you don't mind that I fixed the placement of your post. I doubt there is a WikiProject like that but if there is a Google search will solve that. Here is something on creating a WikiProject. :) DangerousJXD (talk) 04:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, regarding this edit, the Manual of Style (WP:FNNR) covers why "Notes" (or "Footnotes") is preferred over "Sources". As the primary editor of the article, may I ask that you revert your change back to "Notes"? I was going to be bold and do it myself but thought it'd be nicer to ask. Regards, Daniel (talk) 02:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Daniel. Thanks a lot for that link! After reading it, I agree. I have reverted my post. All good, DangerousJXD (talk) 04:20, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

- Hello Liz! I wouldn't say I "worked" on that article; I saw the question at the Teahouse regarding that article, had a sticky beak, fixed a few things, and left. Just like this article which I edited a bit but I have no opinion on it. –DangerousJXD (talk) 21:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

I had to revert your edits on how you described the scores. We've already had a massive discussion on what to call the scores, and under the guidelines that I was told, at least, they're not average. 4-6 is average. This game's "average" is about 7 or so. That's "generally favourable". 85.210.179.154 (talk) 11:58, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
- It's OK. You didn't have to tell me. I'm BOLD. ;)
I do now think "mixed" is a better word. I'll change it to that and if you disagree, just revert. It's fine.:) —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:34, 16 April 2015 (UTC)- I saw your edit. I think it's best like that. :) —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
- Well, personally, to be "mixed" in my mind would require some bad scores of below 5, but that's just me. Still, glad we could work things out harmlessly. 85.210.187.119 (talk) 14:33, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
