Adoption

After looking at the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user page, it seemed appealing, however when browsing the list of potential mentors, it seemed as if very few of them are still accepting adoptions, or active enough to make the process worthwhile. If anybody would be willing to mentor me, that would be great. If not, would it be possible for you to leave some tips/advice? Many thanks!Stickymatch (talk) 19:21, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

The adoption program waxes and wanes, depending on who's participating. You are not going to change the dynamic by using the {{help me}} template. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:33, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Stickymatch, I'd be happy to adopt you. Are you ok with that? If so, I'll create an adoption page for you where we can start collaborating. Sam-2727 (talk) 03:37, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Sam-2727 Sure, sounds great, I look forward to learning more about the intricacies of editing and working with Wikipedia. Thanks!Stickymatch (talk) 19:21, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Stickymatch, in case you haven't seen, page is created at User:Stickymatch/Adoption. Sam-2727 (talk) 17:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I think you forgot to put User: here :P Heres a kitten to cheer you up.

Hi Stickymatch! I've been running into you while patrolling logs and recent changes and I happened to notice that you don't have the pending changes reviewer rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling and that you consistently view and undo vandalism and bad faith disruption. I believe that the pending changes reviewer rights would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request the rights at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to review edits that are pending approval on pages currently under pending changes protection and either accept the edits to make them viewable by the general public, or decline and revert them.

Keep these things in mind regarding the tool or when you're reviewing any pending changes:

  • A list of articles with pending edits awaiting review can be viewed at Special:PendingChanges.
  • A list of the articles currently under pending changes protection can be viewed at Special:StablePages.
  • Being granted and having these rights does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you (obviously).
  • You'll generally want to accept any pending changes that appear to be legitimate edits and are not blatant vandalism or disruption, and reject edits that are problematic or that you wouldn't accept yourself.
  • Never accept any pending changes that contain obvious and clear vandalism, blatant neutral point of view issues, copyright violations, or BLP violations.

Useful guidelines and pages for you to read:

I'm sure you'll do fine with the reviewer rights - it's a pretty straight-forward tool and it doesn't drastically change the interface that you're used to already. Nonetheless, please don't hesitate to leave me a message on my user talk page if you run into any questions, get stuck anywhere, or if you're not sure if you should accept or revert pending changes to a page, and I'll be more than be happy to help you. If you no longer want the pending changes reviewer rights, let me know and I'll be happy to remove it for you. Thank you for helping to patrol recent changes and keep Wikipedia free of disruption and vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:44, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Keep up the great work, and continue reverting vandalism for a few more weeks, and I'll make you a rollbacker. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, I'll head on over to those pages you recommended and read through them. Stickymatch 00:43, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Clay County Historical Society Museum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Primitive (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Fixed, but keeping this talk page message as a reminder. Stickymatch 21:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the welcome! I found a book in which most of the definitions & formatting from the "Disease" page is identical - "Stress Management" By Dr. Roshan Lal, Dr. Ritu Sekhri. As it was published in 2018, I've no idea if they've violated your work, or whether someone cut & paste edited your page, but you should be aware of it. I'm sorry the link is so unwieldy - it's a Google book.

https://books.google.com/books?id=MyjwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=a+medical+condition+is+a+broad+term+that+includes+all+diseases,+lesions,+disorders,+or+nonpathologic+condition+that+normally+receives+medical+treatment,+such+as+pregnancy+or+childbirth%27.&source=bl&ots=MuhvB1m14G&sig=ACfU3U0y4jxMtDAXQa6vYCcHZ9ajjXZ5vQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj8l6-1_sXqAhX1l3IEHb83DD8Q6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=a%20medical%20condition%20is%20a%20broad%20term%20that%20includes%20all%20diseases%2C%20lesions%2C%20disorders%2C%20or%20nonpathologic%20condition%20that%20normally%20receives%20medical%20treatment%2C%20such%20as%20pregnancy%20or%20childbirth'.&f=false

I flagged what sections were verbatim - some single sentence definitions were slightly altered, but as they were bracketed by more suspect material I left them. Many sections have footnotes which do not appear in "Stress Manaegement" - they have not been altered. I'm just not sure I'm using the copyright alert correctly, or whether I should have flagged this on the talk section of the page itself as I couldn't determine how active it was. There is also an ongoing copyright issue with another author.Justifiable27 (talk) 22:07, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that to attention. It seems that it is the book that copied from Wikipedia however, not the other way around. Thus it is not a copyright violation on our part, and nothing needs to be done. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 01:57, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
I posted a note about this on User talk:Justifiable27. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
