Hello @GeorgeMilan: I set it for CSD because i Couldn't find enough context to see what the page was about. I would recommend putting it in the Drafts namespace while Your working on it And then request for it to be put in the main namespace Thanks! Dudel250 (talk) 00:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
He was putting words in my mouth. An admin could have looked at the comments and think I was taking his side. I don't like it when people say I said things I never said... -- Kndimov (talk) 02:40, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
This is Chris Evans, Website Administrator of Bitcoin Gambling Guide. I saw that you prepared a BLANK PAGE regarding www.bitcoingg.com. I added content to put information regarding Bitcoin Gambling Guide and now you want to delete the PAGE. Make up your mind, contact me in chris@bitcoingg.com . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisevansonline (talk • contribs) 07:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello @Chrisevansonline: I never created that page or had anything to do with it until i saw it while on New pages patrol Please Explain why you think i made the page Thanks! Dudel250 (talk) 07:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Then why after I prepare a content on it that it was being under speedy deletion. Nobody should have prepared the www.bitcoingg.com in Wikipedia because it is complicating the page results on search engine when you search our website. The link page from here appears on search engine but there is no information and inviting for content, then after I added content, you will have it on speedy deletion. Its ether you accept our content or delete the link and not to show it on search engine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisevansonline (talk • contribs) 07:46, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
If you are going to give me a TOS or links, Wikipedia should not have prepared a blank page on www.bitcoingg.com , because obviously you are inviting the Website Admin and people to put content to it, then just delete it after the content is published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisevansonline (talk • contribs) 08:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
I do not know if you know anything about search engine optimization. But if you search our website, one of the pages that appear is the www.bitcoingg.com in Wikipedia. We did not request a page from Wikipedia but it seems to appear. But if you go to the link, a blank page appear, that means that the Website Admin or people dealing with the website have the right to add content to it, if not Wikipedia is inviting people to add content to it. After I registered and add content to the the www.bitcoingg.com in Wikipedia, you requested it to have it on speedy deletion. Now, its either you make the content for it or make sure it will not appear on search engine if you decided to delete the content I made.
You cannot Request a page Per say. Anyone can make a page @Chrisevansonline:. And if you think I or someone else made it without your permission you can't do anything about it. Wikipedia is made by volunteers from around the world. If anything if your Company is notable enough. Plus you created the page yourself So your claims are invalid Because You created your companys own page Thanks for understanding! Dudel250 (talk) 08:29, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
I looked at the page's history and it looks like you (Chris Evans) created the page on Wikipedia today, about an hour or so ago. I'm not entirely sure why a Wikipedia result would show up on a search engine if it didn't exist previously, but that's probably a search error and there's nothing that Wikipedia can do about that. That's something that you will have to take up with the specific browsers, as we can only prevent search hits if the page exists- which it no longer does. However, the thing to remember is that while anyone can edit, we usually discourage editing if you have a conflict of interest- mostly because it's very easy for people with a COI to make an article promotional, even if it is done unintentionally. On a side note, a search for your website's name does not bring up any Wikipedia hits. The URL does, but that's likely because you created the page, which would bring it up in an average search. I've done searches for various different things and I've never seen a Wikipedia entry show up when there was not a prior article written. Again, this is something to take up with the search engines specifically rather than with Wikipedia as this is an error with their systems and not something that is wrong with Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。)08:30, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
I did not made the page, the page appeared with blank content to it when you search our website. And since I am the Website Admin of the said website, I registered and added content to it and you just voted it to speedy deletion. I wouldn't be writing on your Talk Page if I didn't saw the notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.96.75.84 (talk) 08:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Tokyogirl79,
So it seems I am not valid to add content to www.bitcoingg.com in Wikipedia. but the page is already there. Is there any other way that the page have at least content made by Wikipedia Admin so it would not seem blank. The said Wikipedia Page already appear in the first page when you search our website using "bitcoingg.com" in Google Page. Hope you can help me on this matter.
Hello Dudel250,
Many thanks for your feedback at ScoreCloud. I would be more than happy if you could define what I need to change, take away or add in ScoreCloud´s text to fulfill Wikipedias guidelines and stay as an information source at Wikipedia. I am not an expert on all the details at Wikipedia, but would of course like to be one.
hey thank you for helping me previously but someone tagged my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarafa_Baghajati as orphan article..i am not quite sure why..because when i read what orpahn article means it seems i have enough links in it..over 17 actually ..
so i am not sure what does orphan article mean..and how can i fix this .. so can you please help me with this..i already tried and sent a question to the person who tagged it . but your help also would be appreciated :)
Hello @Wikipedian3579: And Welcome to Wikipedia! That tag is on there because No other pages link to your page Hope that helped! Dudel250 (talk) 21:03, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you =) I linked it and he himself removed the tag and put copyedit so i think I am doing fine for now..thank you again =)
I have made some changes to Liverpool International College as I have added some information about this college. Please check it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ascii002 (talk • contribs) 01:46, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Just checked your review of this article. Can you please elaborate on the NPOV tag. The page just contains the plot and author details. Why does it look biased?
ManeeshMohnot (talk)
Hello @Maneeshmohnot: I tagged the page becuae of the phrase "justice, love, sacrifices, a quest for the truth, and crucial choices, all revolving around the life of a simple woman from India, but with a fire in her eyes to prove herself. Read on, to find out more." Thanks! Dudel250 (talk) 08:00, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Thaks for your feedback. I had just posted the plot from the back page of the book without realizing that "Read on, to find out more can be considered promotion. Am deleting that line. Can I delete the NPOV tag after this?
@Dudel250:: as well as NPOV, you should have noticed that the text of the "plot" section when you commented was entirely WP:COPYVIO: it was lifted straight from the cited ref. I removed it, and the editor has now replaed it by another piece of text - which reads like a promotional blurb for the book, but which I cannot find by Googling. Copyright violation is one of the most important things to look out for when checking new pages. PamD09:32, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
@PamD: I have just added my own summary about the book in the plot section and is not lifted from anywhere. Why do you feel it's promotional? I would definitely try to make the necessary edits once I know where the issue is. Thanks.
ManeeshMohnot (talk)
@ManeeshMohnot: What you have added reads like the blurb on the cover of a book, designed to attract someone to read/buy the book. The "plot" section of an encyclopedia article should be written more calmly, describing the events of the story rather than setting the opening scene. As a random example of a plot section of a "Featured Article", ie one of Wikipedia's best, see The_General_in_His_Labyrinth#Plot_summary. That's probably longer and more detailed than would be appropriate here, but gives you an idea of what a "plot" section should be like. You could see more examples at Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Literature_and_theatre. PamD08:50, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi random Dudel250; unless you are a starCHaser over at the KTT site thread then you can kindly please leave the legitimate work I'm putting in to the Charles Hamilton page alone sir. I asked around plenty for any partner contributions who would want to pitch in and help with making the most cohesive and accurate Charles Hamilton page on the internet and believe me I've just started. I have actual real life accounts of conversations with Charles from others, his old deleted blogs and more unreleased music of his then most others for my sources. He is a very isolated hard to pinpoint enigma present on the internet, very few sources are available to cite for him and is why I should be allowed exceptions occasionally on that point. His entire discography is entirely subjective and impossible to perfectly plot. But I promise I have the most credentials and tools available to me to make that page as is close to perfect as possible. If you are a fan as well I'm more than willing to politely debate any issues or conflicts you feel I add to the page, but I assure you there are none on what I've worked on yet. Been a fan for 5 years and keep up with every small fan database and source on him on a daily basis. Believe me when I say what I type and edit is correct. Thank you.
I am concerned at your somewhat threatening behaviour regarding an edit I made on the "Winds of War" page with a waspish comment made by the TV miniseries' star Robert Mitchum allegedly made at the time. I also referred to a source in respect of Mitchum's "Free Lunches" comment, yet as well as removing both this edit and objecting to the source I quoted, you for some reason decided to threaten me with a warning. The original edit was fairly innocuous and was not intentional vandalism or offensive, and I am surprised you have gone to the point of threatening me with an irrational and disproportionate warning as a straightforward removal would've been accepted with no complaint. If you are prepared to let the matter settle, I am perfectly fine by this, but I hope you will stop posting threats of this nature on my talk page as in my opinion, such a warning regarding this edit was totally unnecessary, and I will continue to remove this warning from my talk page if you decide to post it again. I hope this is satisfactory or I may consider reporting the matter to administrators which I hope will not be necessary.

@Dudel250: Any editor including an IP is allowed to remove almost all warnings from their talk page -see WP:REMOVED. Please check your facts before trying to tell other editors the rules. PamD15:12, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Tech News updates
Tech News is one year old this week; thank you for being with us!
Recent software changes
The latest version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf5) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on May 15. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on May 20, and all Wikipedias on May 22 (calendar).
The jQuery JavaScript library was updated on May 16. Please check that your gadgets and scripts still work. [1][2][3]
MediaViewer was enabled for all users on the Kannada (kn) and Telugu (te) Wikipedias on May 13. It will be enabled on the German (de), English (en), Italian (it) and Russian (ru) Wikipedias and on all Wikisource wikis on May 22. Feedback is welcome. [4][5]
VisualEditor was added as a beta feature to Wikimedia Commons on May 15. You can enable it in your preferences. [6][7]
You can read a summary of the Wikimedia technical report for April 2014.
VisualEditor news
VisualEditor's buttons and icons can now be accessed using keyboard keys. [8][9]
VisualEditor's new citation tool now matches templates like ((cite_web)) and not just ((Cite web)). [10][11]
VisualEditor's welcome message will no longer be shown to users who have already seen it. [12][13]
VisualEditor now shows a clearer message when you cancel an edit. [14]
The toolbar of the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. [15][16]
YX360TRF is not nosense in any sense of the word. It may be a non notable product, but that's something completely different. Please take care not the WP:BITE our editors, people often don't appreciate their genuine efforts being labeled "nonsense".
I'm curious - what exactly were your thought processes leading up to that report? I don't intend to criticise, but if I can understand how you went about making it then perhaps wwe can stop it happening again. What did you look at before reporting to AIV? Yunshui雲水10:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Okay; well in that case the lesson to take away is: don't skim. Check dates, check diffs, check contribution histories. Be thorough. When I declined your request for Rollback a day or two ago, I cited the carelessness of your editing as a reason for not granting the user-right; it seems you still have some way to go in resolving this problem. Yunshui雲水10:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates. If your wiki has enabled the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, press "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" and select the appropriate template from the menu.
Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.
There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction. This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this: <span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field. Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
TemplateData has been expanded: You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones. "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work. There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names. The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency. The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie. As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData. You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box. If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
There have been multiple small changes to the appearance: External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki. This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links. The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin. VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images. Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.
Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.
Just checked your review of this article. Can you please elaborate on the NPOV tag. The page just contains the plot and author details. Why does it look biased?

Hey + thank you :)
thank you for reviewing my article because i really needed someone to do this so i can carry on adding the rest of information if its suitable but other than adding description for the links do you think its good the way i wrote it ??
thank you so much again

A note on capitalisation
Just of the sake of clarity, would you mind trying to use capital letters a little less indiscriminately in your posts? It makes your comments harder to read, and doesn't exactly cast you as a mature, sensible editor either. Capital letters go at the start of sentences and proper names, and very rarely anywhere else. Yunshui雲水09:19, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm MrX. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Panic 5 Bravo, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. - MrX23:46, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

How do I go about retrieving the content you deleted? I've seen the "request for undeletion" page, but realize the article needs more work. Upon returning I realized the content was gone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpattersonv1 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
From the looks of your talk page it appears that you rather swiftly judge a page for deletion without reviewing the contents. I would like more time with the article you deleted to refine it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpattersonv1 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

About your Recent Editing
Hello
A brasilian(User:MYS77) user says me about source in new page:Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. The administrators of WP removed it from a bunch of pages, and if you want to add some link to external links, use Soccerway
No no no, i've asked you if it was a good page it is not my source it is my example, model for infobox career and football.
Is it a good page?(Jaka Ihbeisheh)With good and reliable source with information about his life and career --Lglukgl (talk) 02:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
It is my example i copied many information from that page(infobox career and others)
I got your message, and thank-you so much for the help! I had seem links beforehand, to the same pages you suggested, and I was hoping to just wing it and figure it out--no way! After I got your message I just went to those links, and it's helped a lot, so thank-you. :)
I just want to tell you (I'm not sure if I need to tell you or not, but just in case) that I am in the process of editing the page, and I have added a bunch of external links that should be within Wiki guidelines (or most of them, anyway). I also filled out a "speedy deletion" appeal. I'm hoping the page doesn't get deleted and want to know if there is anything else I need to do besides what I'm doing.
Are you talking about the Welcome message I left? The one that points out to the newcomer that there are guidelines to be followed before he starts creating random articles on wikipedia? Deb (talk) 10:40, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
No @Deb: Im talking about you Deleteing a Page Under A1 Close to when it was First Created. Therefor Biting a Newcomer (WP:BITE). The page Could have been Improved easily From what i saw and i was planing to wait 20 minutes Until I would add any tag that was needed Unless it was Urgent. Dudel250ChatPROD LogCSD Logs10:44, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
What caused you to believe that the creator was planning to add any meaningful information to the article? And why didn't you welcome them and give them a few pointers in the right direction? Deb (talk) 10:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
Good point @Deb: i Should've gave them a welcome and pointed some things out. But its Not necessarily still a good idea to Delete or tag a page Under A1 as soon as it was made. Dudel250ChatPROD LogCSD Logs10:48, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
I understand why you say that. But there are so many unrescuable articles being created, and so few administrators willing to do the dirty job, that I seldom take a lot of notice of how long they have been there. To me, it is more important to ensure that the creator understands where they are going wrong before they go too far down that road. Deb (talk) 10:51, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
I notice that you have PRODded a number of articles about football teams as if they were Biographies of Living People. They are not! Eustachiusz (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
WP:BLPPROD: "Although our policy on biographies of living persons covers all types of biographical material, the use of this deletion procedure is intended to apply only to actual biographies of living people. This deletion procedure does not apply to such things as lists of people or biographical information contained in other articles. If there is any doubt to the applicability of this procedure, then it is preferable to use another deletion process." (my bold). I think this excludes (for example) sports teams.Eustachiusz (talk) 23:19, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I've declined your speedy. First, there is (barely) enough context to identify the subject, and second, you can't use A7 on temples. They're buildings. Churches present more difficulty - is The Second Church of the Dancing Hamster, Bogwood, a group of people or is it a building? Without contezt, you can't tell. Church is an ambiguous word, where temple isn't (except for being part of the head - but there shouldn't be any confusion there normally...). A7 is mainly people or groups of people, or named animals, or organised events (presumably excluding spontaneous riots and love-ins...). The only inanimate bit is web content (which does exclude downloadable software, unfortunately). Peridon (talk) 15:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Why did you delete my page me and my friend CALLUM were making It for him and you went and ruined it, I think that's out of order— Preceding unsigned comment added by Samredmond (talk • contribs) 22:28, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Dudel250! Thanks for helping out with the CHU board clerking, but it might be best for you to stop for now. You've made a mistake or two while doing it (here, for example; the username "DuxInvictus" is not actually taken), and to be honest, these boards get clerked well enough by the bot, for the most part. It's not that I don't appreciate your efforts, I definitely do, but the username change process is confusing enough as it is; the more voices we have echoing around, the worse it gets, y'know? It might be better to leave this to users who've had a bit more experience. Thanks again for trying, though! Writ Keeper⚇♔15:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
If you're talking about the user page that's at DuxInvictus right now, that's because I've already performed the rename, and the user page you see now was the renamed user's, moved to their new user name. There was no user page there before I renamed them, and even if there was, the presence or absence of a user page doesn't determine whether a username has been taken or not; one checks that by looking at Special:ListUsers (in this case, Special:ListUsers/DuxInvictus); if the username isn't listed there, it hasn't been taken.

The user made that edit when they still were under their old username, at their old userpage location. When a page gets moved, all of its history gets moved as well; that's the history of the page before it was moved. There was no user page there before I renamed the user and moved their user page.

Seeing as you chipped in on matters with this user at WP:CHU I thought you'd want to know an SPI has gone up on the user after a few new comments by an IP that I believe is him.
Oh and this just came into my head to answer. Did you ever get it mentioned what happens if you change your username when you have a Unified Account? Unfortunately only your En Wiki username is changed, for any other wikis where you would like to have the username changed you will need to put in a request on their language wikipedia. Some Wikipedias are even so small that they do not have a formal username change process dontcha know, in that case, well let's leave that case for if it comes to such a happening, it becomes a bit more complicated at that point.

Not much more complicated, really; for wikis that don't have their own bureaucrats, you just go to meta and ask the stewards to do it. Writ Keeper⚇♔21:42, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Well, if you want your username changed here on enwiki, you have to make your request here. Requests at meta are only for wikis were you can't make a local request. Writ Keeper⚇♔21:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Writ Keeper (talk·contribs) , Okay Dude I admit I probably should have just said that it requires going to meta wiki's stewards, but i'm the kind of person that isn't too fond of overloading people with information so decided to cut off at that point. I do believe Snowolf (talk·contribs) is a Steward for when you decide to start on your journey (bad jokes/pun incoming) into her icy kingdom. But don't worry, she doesn't "bite". Tegel (talk·contribs) did a bit for me when I had SUL things to sort (you can see them from my user page), it's your choice who you chase though when you decide to.

Thanks for reading the article I created - even if you called it ad-like and subject to deletion.
Your efforts are appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nslonim (talk • contribs) 19:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
