User talk:Harrisgrb

Welcome

Hi, Harrisgrb. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck! Chzz ► 18:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Harrisgrb/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

{{helpme}} I can't get a photo to upload to an article I've written. I've cut and pasted the code but it doesn't grab the photo which I uploaded

~~What is the name of the picture you uploaded?~~ (please answer below; I'll be watching this page - no need for another helpme) Chzz ► 18:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Chzz ► 18:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I see the syntax error by looking at your code; the difference is that I used "image" and you used "file"; i went to the "adding images to entries" tutorial and it used "image" Harrisgrb (talk) 18:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Edward and Yvette Kelland-Espinosa 1933.JPG missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

File:Edward and Yvette Kelland-Espinosa 1933.JPG

is missing information on its image description page, which would help other contributors make make better use of the image, and make that page more informative to readers.

If possible, please add this information, otherwise the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided. Please also consider updating other files you created or uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:Edward and Yvette Kelland-Espinosa 1933.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Edward and Yvette Kelland-Espinosa 1933.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:25, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Harrisgrb! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Mara Wilson several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Mara Wilson, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:25, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are synthesizing your own conclusion from two different sources, which is original research and not permitted on Wikipedia. Either: Find a source that explicitly states that "her recollection was not correct", OR discuss on the article talk page and get consensus for your edit. Otherwise if you revert again you could lose your editing privileges. Sundayclose (talk) 03:32, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Mara Wilson shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sundayclose (talk) 14:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AGAIN your edit is your personal synthesized conclusion. Revert your edit or you can be blocked from editing. Final warning. Sundayclose (talk) 14:37, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
