Hello JohnI, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 23:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
A fairly minor note, but since I noticed your edit summary over at the Tear disambiguation page, and this applies more as a general style thing as opposed to that one page... MoS:DAB does not specify an alphabetical arrangement, but rather an arrangement based on a rough idea of what's most commonly used as well as, for longer lists, an arrangement based on logic or similarly grouped topics. Of course, when a list truly is arbitrary (say, a list of places), then alphabetical arrangement is better than nothing, but in a case like "Tear" where there is a clear "best" answer ("Tears" in this case), alphabetical arrangement should probably not be used.

Thanks for your fixes after my changes to Shell game - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shell_game&diff=next&oldid=99234115
I missed that.
Interestingly, the verb was okay in British English (and by extension Aussie English), but not okay in US English. See: [1]
e.g. If I replaced the word "gang", by "they" -> "surround" would be the choice.
I'll let it stand.
Thanks again.

I see you have a list of nations and/or states/provinces on your user page. I would like to offer you some templates for this task I created for my own list. One pair of templates will create entries identical to the one I use. (I suggest you copy my legend if you use them.) Other templates will provide just a flag or name (nation or province/state).
Enter this | Purpose | Sample output | Subst this template? |
---|---|---|---|

Detemines the name of the country from a code. Note this relies on a series of templates that aren't listed here in the interests of space. You can find the complete list on the template's page. If a nation is not yet supported, you can add it in my namespace by asking for it on my talk page. I'll create a starter page and you finish it with the instructions I provide. The template also supports using templates from another user's namespace. | No | ||

Good morning, Johnl. If you already know this, I apologize. I am about to describe a common misperception about the WikiMedia software. It was not clear from your comments whether or not you personally held this belief but it was clear from the comments of others that this remains a common mistake and deserved correcting.
Many people nominate redirects for deletion because they think they are "useless" and that deleting a page somehow saves either server space or some other form of system resources. Hard drives are cheaper than they used to be but still not free - so if we don't need a page, why not save a few pennies? The problem is that the underlying assumption is not true. The WikiMedia software never actually "deletes" anything, it just moves a page from viewable-by-everyone status to viewable-only-by-admins. Even deleted, the page is still in the system, consuming just as much computer memory. In fact, because WikiMedia keeps every version of a page, deleting it actually increases the computer resources consumed since we are now storing both the deleted and undeleted versions in the hidden history.
Of course, the real irony is that the discussion about the deletion invariably consumes many times the system resources as the disputed content did.
The history that I was talking about is the history of the project generally. Remember that many more people read Wikipedia than edit it. (The studies I've seen suggest a 10:1 ratio.) Many of those people are intermittent readers at best but many of them do create bookmarks or external links to favorite pages. Being a wiki, we have the right to change those pages, move them to better titles, etc. But we ought to leave a trail behind so that when the user comes back, they can find the content again. That's the principle behind the automatic creation of redirects whenever pages are moved. Redirects are an extremely low-cost way to leave a trail that others can follow even when they are coming in from outside.
Many have recently argued that this need is obsolete - that the search engine is sufficient for readers to find what they were looking for. I used to think that myself until someone walked me through an exercise where the functional limitations of our search engine were very clearly proven. This issue has been repeatedly demonstrated. The search engine is a great tool but is not and can not be the only navigational tool that we give readers. Hope that helps. Rossami (talk) 15:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
No, you've not missed anything. It seems I haven't been keeping abreast of changes to dab policy. Your change was correct. Josh Parris 05:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I wrote that because you had already proposed that that particular redirect be deleted, and it was ruled that it should be kept (no consensus): here. Just three days after it was kept, you changed it. RFD is the only process for deleting or removing redirects, and because you've already tried that route, there really is no other route. If you want to try again a few months from now, that's fine, but redirects aren't harmful, and I'd argue that as long as the redirect has some history, and is not disparaging or irrelevant, it should be kept. Ral315 » 19:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
These don't seem very helpful. If you want to nominate these as redirects for deletion, go ahead, but leaving "editorial notes" in the article space isn't good practice ("self-references", etc), you're breaking any links that do actually exist, and they're now all showing up on Special:Uncategorizedpages. I suggest these would be better returned to being redirects, until such time as they're orphaned and deleted. Alai 01:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't personally argue to keep them; they seem unlikely to be useful for human navigation. But equally, they don't seem to be doing any reak harm, and the "local culture" at RFD seems to be keep redirects, unless there's some strong reason to get rid of them (as you may have noticed). But turning them into something-other-than-redirects would tend to make them more of nuisance, not less, and doing do in order to have them deleted might be seen as trying to "venue shop", if you ask for deletion via some other route or process. I'd suggest just leaving them as redirects until such time as there's some sort of consensus to delete them. Alai 19:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Please stop converting "(disambig)" pages to editorial notes and nominating them for speedy deletion. Editorial notes do not go on article pages. The speedy deletion criteria do not apply to these redirects. The failure of your previous RFD nominations [1] [2] should be enough of an indication to you that there is not community consensus for deleting this type of redirect. If you want to try proposing them at RFD again, you are welcome to. However, you need to stop with your current notes & speedy tags. That is not in keeping with Wikipedia policies & procedures. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 12:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey John! I saw you nominated a redirect for deletion. However, please do not engage in one-sided canvassing to gather supporters for a certain nomination. That's not fair to the "other side", so to say; if you want to inform people interested in a subject, you may do so, but please do not only inform people who share the same viewpoint as you do. Thanks for your understanding! Melsaran (talk) 15:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't delete them because I didn't see the extra space. I saw Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia (1965-), Samantha Jones (fictional character) and 461 Ocean Boulevard (Album), all of which would be OK redirects. For some reason the mitzvot is coming out as mitzvot and not ''mitzvot''. Now that I see the extra space I'll go back and delete them. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:M5emperor.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. Recently, on Tue 16 Oct, I constructed a disambiguation page for the various fish known as chubs. After having done so, I began to contemplate whether that page and the current Chub page might be better named. I posted a discussion on the Chub page but it's not yet received any comment. I noticed from the article's revision history that you had made one or more contributions to the page. Consequently, I thought I might profit from your advice at Talk:Chub#Page title if you have a moment or two to spare. Thanks. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 03:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Coochiemudlo Island requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. User Doe ☻T ☼C 02:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I was tidying up some <ref>s on the ROC page, and noticed the following:

As far as I'm aware, categories can't be moved, even by admins. The only way to rename them is by cut-and pasting. You can create Category:New Britain Red Sox players if it's required with the following code, which I've copied from the original:

[[Category:Minor league baseball players by team]]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Hoary requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The article Jennifer Byrne Presents has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Does not appear to be notable, nothing found in a BEFORE. Tagged for notability since 2011
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DonaldD23 talk to me 10:58, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
