Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Thanks for correcting my errors. That was really embarrassing... -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 01:26, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Delete Page Kym Ng
Hope you can delete this page "Kym Ng" because this person makes no sense. None of the Singaporeans are good people. 147.158.43.146 (talk) 11:53, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
1. I do not have the priveliges to delete any articles. And 2. There is no reason to delete that article anyway. VibeScepter (talk) 11:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

I hope you don't Mind that. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by GohramKhan (talk • contribs) 18:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Then where is the source? VibeScepter (talk) 19:23, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Some friendly advice
Hello! I just wanted to drop you a line because I saw your revert on some vandalism I was watching over (thank you for that by the way!)
I just wanted to add that for the Azam Of Kalat no source problem (listed above), it is not only unsourced but also a conflict of interest. The next time someone mentions a personal relation to an BLP (biography of a living person) article about a person, have them check out WP:CONFLICT, as there are different things COI must do/disclose before editing an article. You can find an easy conflict of interest warning on the same page you find vandalism warnings, WP:WARNING.
Anyways, thanks for keeping Wikipedia free of vandalism! Feel free to drop by if you have any questions! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 08:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi VibeScepter! I'm just messaging you to let you know that some of the content being removed by 178.109.197.0 was unreferenced per WP:BLP (mainly, everything under the "career" section). It took me a few mistaken reverts to discover it myself, so no worries ;-). Just figured I'd let you know. Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:21, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Your AIV report
Please explain how this is vandalism. Pinging Flyer22 Reborn as well. --NeilN talk to me 16:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Although this revert of mine doesn't show a problematic edit. This is the edit I saw and the edit my WP:Huggle post focused on. As you see, that latter link shows formatting errors. Oshwah clearly beat me to that revert and I was left reverting the editor after the formatting had been cleaned up. And because Oshwah had just left a message on the editor's talk page, my WP:Huggle post was automatically stronger in tone. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Sounds as if Huggle needs improvement in this area. VibeScepter, I appreciate your efforts to maintain Wikipedia but you can't be reporting editors as vandalism-only accounts after one test edit. --NeilN talk to me 16:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- I prefer WP:STiki, but, as noted on the talk page for that tool, it has not been working for me lately. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Huggle has an option to alert you if changes have been made to the page since the revision that you're viewing in the queue. I believe that these alerts are enabled by default, but you should check and make sure that they are. Then, if you go to revert an edit to a page and it since has been edited, it will ask for confirmation and warn you - in which you would then press 'No' and then visit the page's edit history to investigate further. Just make sure to pay attention to these alerts and review the information Huggle is giving you before you decide; else you'll be potentially overwriting the wrong revision and wind up adding to the issue instead of resolving it ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Oshwah. I'm trying to get better with Huggle. I used to use the legacy version before I switched to STiki. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- No problem. Huggle is a powerful and very good tool if used with care. I can tell you from personal experience that I've made my share of mistakes and screw-ups on Huggle ;-). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Fake News Awards
An article that you have been involved in editing—Fake News Awards—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 23:10, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Your AIV report (again)
The last time you did not respond to my query. This time I hope you will or else I'll have to take other steps. Regarding this - What warning? What final warning? --NeilN talk to me 17:29, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry, that was a mistake... VibeScepter (talk) 17:30, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, please take some extra care when reporting. --NeilN talk to me 18:33, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
What is the reason for deleting my edits?
Hi VibeScepter
Please explain the reason for placing the link of Rosa Caracciolo's article to Rocco Siffredi. Thanks
سهرابی761 (talk) 16:36, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- سهرابی761, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosa Caracciolo. --NeilN talk to me 16:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Until we've got published reliable sources about Santana's death, it can't go in the article. Has there been any news coverage? —C.Fred (talk) 16:45, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Just found XXL's coverage.[1] —C.Fred (talk) 16:47, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Your WP:UAA report
Myself and other admins have questions about this report to UAA. If you could explain there why you believe it is promotional in nature that would be helpful, as it is your reasoning is opaque to us and the report appears to be an error. I’m also going to drop the standard template here about reporting users with no edits. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:28, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
WP:UAA reports on users with no edits
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. User:Beeblebrox (talk) 02:47, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
reverting edit
Hi there, I see you reverted my edit to Raheem Kassam. The citation is relevant to the section it is referenced at. If you disagree, check out the source and let me know. --2001:8003:54DA:E600:3518:EBA9:1744:236B (talk) 02:56, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Hang on, hang on
Did you seriously make your account right when 2018 started?! 92.16.24.225 (talk) 11:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi. You reverted an edit in the article "LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship"
I deleted this text from the article: "This design modified the San Antonio-class by removing some of its higher-end capabilities, resulting in a design that had improved command and control features compared to the existing LSDs, half the medical spaces of the San Antonio-class, a smaller hangar for stowing two MV-22 tilt rotor aircraft, no composite masts, two main propulsion diesel engines instead of four, two spots for Landing Craft Air Cushion hovercraft or one Landing Craft Utility boat, and a reduced troop capacity."
because the next paragraph contains this text: "Some of the higher-end capabilities of the San Antonio-class have been removed, resulting in a design that has improved command and control features compared to the existing LSDs, half the medical spaces of the San Antonio-class, a smaller hangar for stowing two MV-22s, conventional steel masts instead of composite masts, two main propulsion diesel engines instead of four, two spots for LCACs or one LCU, and a reduced troop capacity."
Looks like the same, slightly rewritten, text to me. But: if deleting this text is not constructive then hey, leave it in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.56.26.237 (talk) 20:56, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Abby Huntsman
You reverted my edit adding a full stop at the end of a sentence. 80.235.147.186 (talk) 20:26, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- There was already a full stop after the reference...please click "Show Preview" before making edits. Always helps. With the edit you did, it looked like there were 2 full stops (one before the reference and one after the reference). VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 20:38, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- There isn't supposed to be a full stop after a reference. 80.235.147.186 (talk) 21:21, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process
Hi, you may want to check that last warning you gave as they were actually reverting vandalism from the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process acticle. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)l
- Oh...I got confused. Thanks for letting me know. VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 21:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- No worries, I've done it before while dealing with the endless vandalism, just thought I'd let you know so you could welcome the newbie instead. :) KylieTastic (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Claudia Lizaldi (talk) 04:52, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Check before you edit (by clicking Show Preview), there's no picture there. VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 04:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Please edit the article "Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand"
I am an official at the Electricity Authority of Thailand. I found that this article relies on only one-sided information that is against EGAT. The article seems to be biased and distorted, discrediting the organization. I would like to add some facts and details from another point of view. For example, the article said “Several critics have pointed out that EGAT's in-house generating capacity coupled with its power purchases from other suppliers has resulted in excessive reserve capacity. One such critic has been the editorial board of the Bangkok Post. They point out that in May 2017, Thailand's peak power demand was 28,578 MW. Total EGAT installed and purchased power capacity in May 2017 was 41,903 MW, leaving a reserve power capacity of 13,325 MW, 46 percent of total May demand. Industry standard best practice is that a 15 percent reserve power capacity is sufficient to "...maintain a stable power supply." However, according to PDP, the suitable reserve capacity is calculated from dependable capacity of the system, not the installed capacity. This is different from the calculation by Bangkok Post that used the installed capacity and gained the number of 46 percent and claimed that Thailand's reserve capacity was excessive. That’s just only one example. I still have other information to explain and for some points, there are reasons behind which were not cited.
So is it possible if I send all the details to explain the points that right now in the article are not true and show only one sided point of view, then you can edit or add the information from another side too. Nooeay (talk) 13:13, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Nooeay
