You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yarrow, British Columbia. You have been warned multiple times not to remove redlinks without explanation. Please stop doing this. SpinningSpark 19:17, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
I saw your note to Vsmith asking for him to be your mentor, and his reply. Then I saw the notice on your Talk page. I also looked at your recent edits to Yarrow, British Columbia. I am not qualified to be a mentor since I am fairly new to editing myself and I mostly concern myself with finding and correcting errors in sentence structure, punctuation, etc. However, I saw one thing that I can mention. In that article on Yarrow, you added some links to words such as "hay" and "corn". If you read WP:OVERLINK, you will see that links are not necessary for words that an average reader would know. Links are to be added for words that are essential to understanding the article -- usually unusual words, names, and place names. Before you continue searching for a mentor, why don't you spend some time going through the Wikipedia Manual of Style WP:MOS, the article on reliable sources, WP:RS, and the article on original research (which is not acceptable in WP articles), WP:OR. There's also WP:BEG, an introduction to editing. After you have read all of those articles, then you can search for a mentor. You might ask for help finding a mentor by putting ((helpme)) and then your question on your talk page. (Put a short heading in the heading subject/headline space.) In fact, you can ask for help that way any time you are not sure about something.
Regarding red links, leave them alone, because (1) the item probably belongs in the article, and (2) the reason why there is a red link is that there is no WP article on that person, thing, or place, and (3) if someone sees the red link, and is interested in that topic, he/she might decide to write a new article, which would greatly add to WP as a whole.
If you need any help formulating a sentence or organizing a paragraph, I'd be glad to help. Good luck! CorinneSD (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
((subst:dated adoptme))
on your user page. G S Palmer (talk) 21:42, 10 May 2014 (UTC)As per the sockpuppetry investigation opened about your accounts, it has been determined that you have been misusing multiple accounts. Since you commented on that investigation that you wish to continue using this account, all of the other accounts that were found have been blocked from editing. Please use only this account, going forward.
Please remember that you were subjected to the following restrictions back in 2011 in order to avoid a block:
You are banned from creating categories. You are topic banned from creating articles in mainspace.
While this is not an official community-sanctioned topic ban, please be aware that any violation of Wikipedia policy in those two topic areas may result in a block from editing, with little or no future warning. —Darkwind (talk) 07:41, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm taking a short break for Wikipedia for everyone's best interests== I think a break for about a week or 2 would be in Wikipedia's best interest. Plus I have alot of sports I'm doing lately. Venustar84 (talk) 20:46, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Persia White, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Joseph Morgan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Darkwind made it quite clear to you that you are banned from creating articles and categories: however, a quick look at your contributions shows that you are clearly in violation of that ban. Please stop before you get yourself blocked. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 14:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the request but recently my time on the project has become very limited. Perhaps you could make such a request at the Help Desk. μηδείς (talk) 15:32, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Venustar84, I saw that you are looking to be adopted in the WP:Adopt-a-user program, and I am more than willing to take on the task. If you would like me to become your adopter, please respond on this page. Looking forward to learning with you! ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 02:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi Kristine, I have thought of creating a discussion group for new users to have a chance to share thoughts about what they're doing on Wikipedia, ask questions, share tips, and get connected. It can sometimes be hard to connect with others, and this might be a way to stay in touch.
My initial thought, but suggestions are welcome, is that I'd start a talk page and those who want to participate - maybe 4 or so people - could "watch" the page and then read and post to the page as desired. Would you be interested in something like that?--CaroleHenson (talk) 09:37, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Elizabeth Anne Allen may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi, I posted a question about renaming your account at User talk:Darkwind, and we can await his/her feedback about that.
In the meantime, one thing that might help is changing your signature like to "Kristine (Venustar84)" which would produce a signature line with this link: [[User:Venustar84|Kristine (Venustar84)]]. You can do that by copying this link into your signature in your preferences ("Preferences" on the top line menu, "User profile" tab (the first tab), and "Signature" section of that page.)--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:16, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
There's nothing wrong with wanting to get input from multiple people, but rather than asking in multiple places, you can post the question once - in one place - and ask multiple users by adding their user names at the top of the posting, like:
((u|Sitush)), ((u|CaroleHenson)) and someone else
and then ask the question.
Asking in multiple places just creates confusion, and it's frustrating for the people that are responding to know that the question is being asked in an isolated fashion in several places. You could post a question for multiple people and then see what the result is... or, if there is someone's judgment than you trust more than others, just ask that person and give them a bit of time to respond.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Done! For the future, I'd urge you to be a little more careful to avoid possible plagiarism concerns. Text from the 1911 edition of the Britannica should be cited using the ((EB1911)) template or equivalent. Text from newer editions is copyrighted and shouldn't be copied verbatim. Anyway, thanks for improving the article! Melchoir (talk) 18:53, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi there. I've deleted your recent question from WP:RD/S. We're not allowed to give medical advice on the reference desks - see the guidlines for our detailed policy. For medical advice, you should consult an appropriate professional. Tevildo (talk) 01:04, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
I prefer that you make comments about ref desk threads on the ref desk, not my talk page, since (1) they don't involve me directly and (2) it lets other people know what you want. But you really should be searching either youtube or google videos for "narwhal" yourself. It's not the sort of thing you need expert help on.
The rules require that you provide a link to your user page. Come on back to my talk page where I've got some suggestions. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:35, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
I say again: Your signature needs to include a link to at least one of "your" three pages: user page, user talk page or contribs. Otherwise you will get complaints and possibly a block. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:44, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
What will it take to get you to revert your text-only signature back to an actual link? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Either fix your signature or you're liable to get blocked. The choice is yours. I told you once how to fix it, and you ignored it. Please keep all discussion on that topic to this page, so that you'll be more likely to take note of it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Good deal! Now all you need to do is change it from this:

Venustar84, is there some reason why you are editting the ref desks under the alias Bluestarcanada? You have promised not to do so in the past. Repeated posting of the same question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2015_January_2#Were_the_ancient_Egyptians_Coptic under different names https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities&diff=666467346&oldid=666460233 is liable to be interpreted as disruptive and lead to blocks and WP:SPI. μηδείς (talk) 03:15, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Since you are not asking for a reference, but about the ref desks, you question belongs on the ref desk talk page. I provided a link from the misc desk. In the meantime, read User:Kainaw/Kainaw's criterion. Basically if you are not asking for diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis you are fine. You may fall afoul of the treatment part by asking for advice on how to deal with a specific issue. You know we are pretty tolerant, the worst that will happen if you are not intentionally causing trouble is you'll be referred to a professional. μηδείς (talk) 03:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
I've attempted to fix the autoblock situation that you reported at WP:HD by blocking and unblocking you. There are now four entries in your block log, but nobody will hold those against you, since I clearly stated that I was attempting to resolve technical problems; it's clear that the blocks weren't because you'd done something wrong. Please re-report if you're still having autoblock problems. Nyttend (talk) 03:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello Venustar84: I noticed your posts at the Reference desk, and below are some resources for you where you can safely discuss matters in your life.
Life can be frustrating at times, and it's important to never hesitate to ask for help if you feel you need it. Many resources are available for you to seek assistance. Feel free to contact me on my talk page or here at any time. North America1000 01:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Venustar84, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
