A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Hey, thanks for helping me edit the page today, I had a lot of fun. I'm hoping the work I did was OK, I know I did quite a bit. I've been looking at the whole cryptocurrency space's wikipedia pages and they're just all over complicated and generally poor quality. Hopefully the help is appreciated :) . Thanks!

April 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cryonics. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fringe science

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Suspended animation into Cryonics. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 04:03, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Telecom and Coherence. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bare URLs

Please read WP:BAREURL and provide complete citations when you add refs. See what I did here.

Also please don't repeat refs. use a ref name and like this.

Also techcrunch is a wiki and is not a reliable source. Thx Jytdog (talk) 09:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the recommendations. As far as I know, there are bots which are automatically replacing bare urls, The same thing with ref names. No need to waste time to do it manually --Thereisnous (talk) 09:51, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please actually read WP:BAREURL. Neither of your assumptions is true. People format refs. There are automated scripts people use to do that, but people do it. Jytdog (talk) 09:56, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know about WP:BAREURL. But it's simpler to run the script over a hundred links once than manually do every link. And there are indeed bots which are doing it.

In any case, WP:BAREURL is an essay. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. --Thereisnous (talk) 10:00, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are not bots doing it. People go to a page and runs scripts. You are just making work for other people. Which sucks. Jytdog (talk) 10:06, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain me why we should spend 100 minutes for 100 links if we can do the same thing in bulk automatically in 1 minute using a script?--Thereisnous (talk) 10:11, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean "we"? You obviously never run those scripts, so you mean "other people". These other people don't always run them on every article. Link rot happens all the time - I have to delete dead links all the time because the lazy editor who added them didn't provide any other citation information, there is nothing on the internet archive for the URL, and nothing to go on - so I either waste my time finding a new source or I just delete the content and source. Slapping a URL into a ref just shows disdain for everyone else here and for readers.

And in any case there are scripts built into the editing toolbar that take seconds to run. The next time you edit, look up at the top edge of the window and you will "Cite" with a little arrow next to it.

But hey you are going to do as you will. Done here. Jytdog (talk) 10:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Crater of eternal darkness, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mercury.
