[edit] Myles (Slang Term)

Please do not make personal attacks on other people as you did at Myles (Slang Term). Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create such pages will be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Thank you. (aeropagitica) 23:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

This is from edxx3. Myles is not meant as a personal noun. It is not a personal attack (or it isn't meant to be).

Please respond as soon as you can. Thank you and good bye, Edxx3 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edxx3 (talk • contribs).

Respond to what, exactly? Please remember to be civil in your contributions and that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. You can offer definitions of words to Wiktionary for assessment instead. Words used in Myles (Slang Term) included; "Ugly, Strange, Abnormal, Freakish, Liar" as synonyms, which can hardly be viewed as complimentary to those with the eponymous Christian name. (aeropagitica) 23:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

This edit can hardly be called an innocent contribution, can it? Please do not defame or attack people with your contributions. This is considered vandalism and can lead to you being blocked from editing. (aeropagitica) 23:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eddy (Slang Term)

Again, Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang and your contribution does not "...further the wiki-world". (aeropagitica) 23:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Colby cheese

Article Talk pages are for discussion of the notable aspects and debatable points of the subject, not for the pursuit of personal projects. Projects such as these should be conducted in either official academic webspace - your school or college website - or personal webspace. Please read WP:NOT for details about for what Wikipedia is to be used. (aeropagitica) 23:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colby Cheese

If you are going to include statistics then you need to also include the reference from which the statistic was obtained. This needs to be a reliable source. (aeropagitica) 23:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aerospace engineering

NASA is an American Government Agency and not a major aerospace corporate engineering enterprise. Please verify your facts before contributing. (aeropagitica) 23:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: How do I become an administrator?

  • I have a knack for updatring and improving many articles and deleting offensive material that was put on there.
  • A big fan of yours, Edxx3 23:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Sarcasm gets you nowhere. If you want to become an administrator then you can read about the role at Wikipedia:Administrators. You need 2-3000 edits in the major spaces of Wikipedia and these edits should be helpful contributions such as finding references using reliable sources, fighting vandals and contributing encyclopedic information to articles. It is also very helpful to have between six and twelve months' experience of editing. I would start by reading the welcome salutation below and looking at the pages linked from there. You can also help the project by joining Wikiprojects such as Wikipedia:Esperanza, where like-minded editors can exchange help and advice. (aeropagitica) 00:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Administrator

I have applied to become an admin but no one has voted? Why is this? Edxx3 22:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

This is your RfA? The reason that no one has voted is because you haven't transcluded it on to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. This is a list of your contributions to date:
User:Edxx3
Mainspace       4
User talk:      8
Wikipedia talk: 1
Wikipedia:      7
avg edits per article   2.50
earliest        12:43, 27 November 2006
number of unique articles       8
total   20

Taken from Interiot's wannabe Kate's tool at 22:05, November 30th 2006.

Do not attempt to transclude this RfA as it will fail. You only have twenty edits to this Wikipedia. Admins require 2-3000 edits spread across the main spaces. This gives an editor sufficient time and exposure to the community in order to build a reputation and friendships/interests in various projects. It also shows how well they would do if they were given the tools. New people have zero experience upon which the community can form an opinion, so the default would be to deny the tools. You will only be disappointed if you do this.
What I would do instead would be to join Wikipedia:Esperanza and get to know the regulars there. I would also ask to be adopted by another more experienced editor who can show you the ropes around here. The project is about building an encyclopedia, so study how this is done - finding references in reliable sources and adding them to articles; creating requested articles, etc. When you become more experienced, you can learn to fight vandalism by patrolling the new and recent changes pages and tagging articles and warning editors appropriately. You can also bring persistent vandals to the administrators' intervention noticeboard. After six months' hard effort, go for an editor review to see how you are getting on. You can use this as a basis for improving yourself to get ready for your RfA. You can be coached on this by Esperanza. Do these things in this order and you will be a fine candidate in six to eight months' time. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Adoptme?

I can't figure out how to become in the adoptme program even though I clicked on the link you gave me above. Please clarify. Edxx3 22:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

If you look at your userpage then you will see that the userbox for a request for adoption has now been placed there, so that means that you figured out the process correctly - well done! Someone will be along in a while to adopt you and answer any questions that you have about Wikipedia. Good luck! (aeropagitica) 22:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Hello, Edxx3! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! --Daniel Olsen 05:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you're looking for Wikipedia:Tutorial. That should help you get the hang of editing. As for vandalism and personal attacks, you should revert back to the edit before offending content was added to make sure you get it all. The Wikipedia:Sandbox is a good place to test out wiki-code, and remember you can always just hit the preview button to see what your text will look like without saving it. Good luck, and happy editing! --Daniel Olsen 15:02, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
