Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janagewen (talk • contribs) 03:36, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Is that worthy?

Jeh, please don't not leave noted on my talk page, for that, I thank you advance! All your notes on my talk page, I would remove without reply, sorry! Janagewen (talk) 08:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Janagewen: Really, it's ok. Relax!

When you come into WP as a newcomer you are entering a community that has a large number of nearly immutable rules ("policies"); a much larger number of recommended rules ("guidelines"); probably an equal number of "essays" giving opinions on what guidelines ought to exist, PLUS a lot of unwritten expectations. Nobody is expected to absorb all this stuff and not make any mistakes in their first week, or even their first few months. When someone points out "hey, you shouldn't have done x," just say "ok, sorry, I didn't know." Or not, as you prefer.

It's helpful at such times to read any WP policy or guideline pages that might have been mentioned in the complaint, as they will tell you why the rule is there, and the collection of these gives you a good insight into the WP culture.

Take it easy, go slowly, and don't ever expect to not make any mistakes. Everyone does. Jeh (talk) 09:06, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Janagewen (talk) 11:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry!

Hello, this is Janagewen. I don't know why suddently so many strange people against me including administrator and you. I don't know why I listed you in my not welcome list, maybe I am too foolish to do it. If for this thing, I say sorry million times. But please do me a favor not let those people list my IP address onto my own talk page, that would ruin my life. For all the improper words I said to you, I do apologize. I've never wanted to bring you troubles.

Explanation

Do you know why I always listed you in my list? Just because you three ignored my suggestions on .net framework template, nothing serious. But do me a favour, correct the .net framework template, ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.53.107.26 (talk) 01:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

October 2014

This is just a courtesy note to inform you that I have reformatted the references that you provided to your recent post at Talk:Cathode ray tube. Recent changes to the way in which the Wiki interface handles references has meant that using the traditional <ref> ... </ref> method is no longer appropriate for talk pages. Wiki now automatically displays the reflist at the bottom of the talk page without the usual {{reflist}} tag. This means that as soon as someone else starts another topic, the references become orphaned and erroneously appear to relate to the new discussion.

Naturally, I have not changed the actual text. 86.153.28.37 (talk) 11:08, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Date format in Linux articles

Hello! Any chances, please, for you to have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software § Date format in release history sections of Linux articles and possibly comment there by providing your point of view? The whole thing is pretty much poorly discussed with only a few editors actually discussing it, while it seems to be affecting more than a few articles (and the date format seems to be extending beyond the tables into references, please see history of the Linux distribution article). Any contributions to the discussion would be highly appreciated! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 02:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Do you think Linux experience or knowledge is necessary for a valid opinion? Because I have next to none. Jeh (talk) 04:30, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

In my opinion, no Linux-related experience is required as it isn't about the way dates are used in Linux, or something similar. It's all about the way date formatting is used in our articles, nothing more. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 05:56, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

I think I don't have time atm. Jeh (talk) 11:45, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
