Bare link tagging
[edit]Instead of tagging dozens and dozens of article's for barelinks, you might consider using WP:Refill to fix them instead. -- ferret (talk) 15:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Agreed. You added it to an article that had two bare links .. out of 40. {{link rot}}
is for articles with serious bare link problems. -- GreenC 21:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- And you added it to an article with nine (stable) bare links out of 62; an article which is obviously under active revision. If you would like to be helpful, jump in and fill those remaining links. Oddjob84 (talk) 13:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Doomdorm64, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Contrasting and categorization of emotions have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Please note that per WP:SPS, wikis are not considered reliable sources and should not be used in citations. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:16, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
References
[edit]Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!
That source
[edit]Hi there, regarding my revert: when you find a source such as this, it is always a good idea to go to its main page https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TAXM7NNYTloC and check the publishing data at the bottom. In this case it just gives the title of the book and "PediaPress" as a publisher. That should ring an alarm bell . Indeed, I searched for a few sentence fragments in the book, and they all pointed to our Time article. This book is based on Wikipedia, so we definitley cannot use it here per wp:CIRCULAR. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 08:52, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- By the way, see also what it says on the first page: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TAXM7NNYTloC&pg=PAi - DVdm (talk) 09:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
November 2017
[edit]Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Mario Kart DS.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. You have already been warned by @Ferret, GreenC, and Oddjob84: about your needless and senseless use of {{linkrot}}. It's your job to fill in the links (WP:REFILL), and not to put warnings on a minority or nonexistent issue. Stop doing this, and go back and undo it immediately. This is disruptive editing and users can be blocked for this. — Smuckola(talk) 07:45, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- And then you just did it again. — Smuckola(talk) 09:30, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Requirements for the perennial sources list
[edit]Hi Doomdorm64, thanks for contributing entries for TV Tropes and Bulbapedia to the perennial sources list! I'd like to tell you about two rules that we follow when we edit the list:
- We can only add sources that are perennially discussed. At a minimum, sources should have at least two discussions or a request for comment on the reliable sources noticeboard before they can be added to the list. You can use the search box on the noticeboard to find past discussions.
- Please make sure the list stays in alphabetical order.
Since TV Tropes was discussed twice on the reliable sources noticeboard, I've indexed the two discussions and moved it between Tunefind and Us Weekly to keep the list in alphabetical order. However, since Bulbapedia was only discussed once on the reliable sources noticeboard, it doesn't quite meet the requirement to stay in the list, and I've removed it accordingly. Please feel free to ask me or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Noticeboard if you have any questions. Thanks! — Newslinger talk 11:40, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Invitation to WikiProject Reliability
[edit]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Contrasting and categorization of emotions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Discard (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Your draft article, Draft:Colin Murdoch (voice actor)
[edit]Hello, Doomdorm64. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Colin Murdoch".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Please have a look also at the information at this page, which appears every time you edit J. K. Rowling. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Your edits to Australia page
[edit]Hello there I reverted your edits regarding minority rights in Australia because they were randomly inserted into the article the sources didn't support the content. The Guardian article you cited doesn't say that "Australia is one of the highest ranked countries in the world for LGBT equality." The statement "the majority of Australians support same sex marriage" has nothing to do with the Health care system. If you want to add information about same-sex marriage etc. please go onto the Talk page and see consensus for your proposed additions. Please do not reinstate content that has been reverted by another. The relevent policy is here. Happy to discuss on Talk page. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Okay, thank you for the clarification. Doomdorm64 (talk) 07:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Raladic. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Pride flag, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Raladic (talk) 20:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, I’ll be more careful with referencing in future. Thank you. --Doomdorm64 (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Cordless Larry (talk) 08:54, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Finland, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.

So your being reversed all over!
[edit]What should you do!.....pls review Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Be aware that Wikipedia:Advocacy edits related to Wikipedia:Main article fixation has been discussed about your recent edits. Moxy- 21:15, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
I didn't mean to start an edit war, just surprised that my addition to the article got reverted. I'll be more careful when adding LGBT-related topics in the future. Doomdorm64 (talk) 07:42, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- It wasn't about being LBQ, it was about the way the information fitted into the wider article, and to a lesser extent, the quality of a couple of the sources. Anyway, all good now and time to move on. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 19:38, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

"Xth state to legalize same-sex marriage"
[edit]Ok, so Local laws prior to Obergefell v. Hodges shows California was the third state to legalize. I think it introduces confusion saying that Washington was the seventh state to legalize, when it's the eighth with California included. I understand that Prop 8 made it illegal again, but it was still fully legalized for half a year. I think adding this numerical trivia muddies the waters with competing definitions of legalize. Especially when you have the problem of date of decision vs. effective date. As far as trivia goes, I think the fact that Washington was the first state to legalize via referendum is more notable anyway. TheSavageNorwegian 15:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- I re-added the part, amending it to say Washington was the eighth jurisdiction to legalise same-sex marriage overall and the seventh state to do so (including DC). Is this acceptable? Doomdorm64 (talk) 17:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- I guess I'm just wondering where you're getting seventh from? It's the eighth state by my count and ninth including D.C. TheSavageNorwegian 18:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- California legalised same-sex marriage in 2008, banned it, and re-legalised it years later, so Washington is counted one place earlier. I hope this makes things clearer, thanks in advance. Doomdorm64 (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- This is my point, it's inaccurate to say Washington is eighth since California did legalize before them. No one is making you add this specific factoid seemingly designed to be some type of wrong, we don't have to do this.
- I think of it this way: William Henry Harrison is the ninth U.S. President, despite having held the office for 31 days. Likewise, Grover Cleveland is the 22nd and 24th President. An argument could be made that California is the 2nd and 11th state to legalize. Do you see what I'm saying? It's open-ended how to interpret this list. Especially since if you go by the date of the ruling instead of effective date, then the order becomes different again, and Washington is tied for 9th place with two other states. The only information I'd feel comfortable sharing in the lead of Washington is that it was among the first states to legalize same-sex marriage, and the first to do so via referendum.
