User talk:LinDrug

Hello, welcome to my talk page!

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, LinDrug! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Vandalism

Hello LinDrug,

Thank you for your revert of Rey Mysterio, however, you should be aware that the IP editor was correct. You used a level three warning template on his talk page. You should have used a level 1 header. He never vandalized your talk page. :) Just a heads up, be more careful in the future :) Sephiroth storm (talk) 01:03, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sephiroth storm! The reason why I used a level 3 warning template is that he vandalized the page again after I reverted it. This is definitely not a "mistake" or a behavior of someone who is trying to edit in Wikipedia the first time. Maybe I should have used a level 2 warning template. However I overreacted a little bit and will try to be more polite in the future. :) --LinDrug (talk) 01:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can see :) Thanks for reverting the changes to the article. :) Sephiroth storm (talk) 06:31, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i created the lil quads page so i dont see why i get a warning for editing my own page plase change this.sammy00193 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammy00193 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page was nominated for speedy deletion and is now deleted. Wikipedia is not a place for spam. You can setup your own MediaWiki for this purpose. And please sign your comments on userpages in the future, thx. --LinDrug (talk) 15:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

how do i setup a mediawiki. sammy00193

I would recommend that you read the Wikipedia Introduction in order to understand what Wikipedia is. Everyone can write articles here but they need to meet certain criteria. More information are on this site. If you want to setup your own (Media)Wiki you can look at mediawiki.org for more information. I hope I could help. :) --LinDrug (talk) 16:09, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow

Your fast ...so fast i though you were a bot...LOL Good job man!!!

I've indeffed him. Clearly not here to improve the encyclopedia. Mjroots (talk) 18:51, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea! Thanks. --LinDrug (talk) 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this article, the original author blanked the article, which you reverted and then warned the editor for vandalism [2]. This is not the correct thing to do. Instead, you should not issue a warning and just re-tag the article as {{db-author}} since he was the only editor of the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I was a bit fast and didn't noticed that he was the only editor. --LinDrug (talk) 21:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: II (April 2010)

Sociology Project • News • April 2010

Spreading the meme since August 2006

The Sociology WikiProject is conducting a roll call (or min-census, if you prefer). More then five years down the road, we have over 50 members, but we don't know how many of them are still active in the sociology area. If you are or want to become once again an active contributor to the sociology content on Wikipedia, please move your name from the inactive to the active list on our roll call (or add yourself to the list if you haven't joined yet!).

In other news, we have reactivated the newsletter :) At least, for this announcement. We also have a new, automated to do listing, an active tag and assess project (which has identified about 1,800 sociology articles on Wikipedia, and assessed about 1,3000 of them), and three new userboxes for your self-identification pleasure :) On a final note, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.

You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a recipient of WikiProject Sociology Newsletter (Opt-out). • signed

WikiProject Sociology membership

You are listed in the Category:Wikipedians interested in sociology, probably due to the use of "This user is interested in sociology" userbox, but you have not added yourself to our official member list for WikiProject Sociology. This prevents you from, among other things, receiving our sociology newsletter, as that member list acts as our newsletter mailing list (you can find the latest issue of our sociology newsletter here). If you'd like to receive the newsletter and help us figure out how many members we really have, please consider joining our WikiProject and adding yourself to our official member list. Thank you, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 13:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: New helper policy

Hello member of Category:Wikipedians who use IRC! You are invited to join an ongoing discussion on Wikipedia talk:IRC/wikipedia-en-help aimed at defining a policy for prerequisites to being a helper in the "#wikipedia-en-help ^connect" channel in a section titled "New helper policy".

To prevent future mailings about IRC, you may remove your user page from Category:Wikipedians who use IRC.
Assistance is available upon request if you can't figure out where it is being added to your user page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
