I noticed that you created the page SMK Semera -- Thanks for Contributing! -- I wanted to mention that if you leave the page with only one line of content, it is likely to be deleted according to the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Adding a few wikilinks will likely remove this threat.

Thanks and Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit] Re: Help

In order to improve it you need to find outside sources that state the subjects notability. It also helps if you add links to the article. (PS, Thanks for choosing me to help you, any reason why you choose me?) The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

To create a user page, just edit the tab on the upper left that is red and says "User page". And sure, Everyone is a friend on the wiki? The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Barnstars are ginen to you by other users to commend the good work you have done. Also, dont add the helpme template to my talk page, that adds me to a category that I need help, when it is not the case. The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SMK Semera

You need to find reliable sources (see WP:RS) that discuss the school. You haven't even given us a location or what grade levels the school teaches. These a minimum criteria for inclusion. See WP:N & WP:V. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{helpme}}

You seem to be under a misapprehension about this template. If you want to talk to a specific user, to ask for help or otherwise, then just leave a note on that user's talk page, as you did on User talk:Carlossuarez46. They'll be notified they have messages the next time they log on. If you want help and don't care who gives it, you can edit your own talk page (i.e. this page), explaining what your problem is and using the tag {{helpme}}. This will put your name on a list of people who need help, and someone should quickly come to your assistance. Happy editing! Algebraist 03:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admins

Hi Mark, welcome to Wikipedia. I did a small amount of editing to the SMK Semera article you started, mainly yo point out the specific places where you need to provide proper sources for the information in the article. One small matter: I note you are referring to yourself as a "new admin". On Wikipedia, administrators are experienced users who have a few extra responsibilities. Most users, like yourself, are editors. Its generally not a good idea to claim you are an admin here unless you are one: it could mislead other editors. Anyway, good luck and let me know if there are other questions I can help you with, Gwernol 03:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help Needed!

I am Mark and i had created a page - SMK Semera but i don't know how to add a reference and there are so many [Citation Needed] template. The references are:

1.Asajaya/http:en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Asajaya

2.SMK Semera School Magazine

3.SMK Semera diary

4.Mr. Longgo bin Mohammad

I hope someone can help me out. Can you teach me how to give barnstars?

--Mark Chung (talk) 00:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark, I suggest you start by reading Wikipedia:Citing sources which is gives you instructions about how and why to source articles. Its rather long, but there is a lot of good information there. Please be aware though that several of your proposed sources are not appropriate for Wikipedia articles. All sources must be verifiable which means that personal recollections by you or anyone else (e.g. Mr. bin Mohammad) cannot be used as sources. Ironically Wikipedia articles also cannot be used as sources, since they can be edited by anyone. The SMK Semera school magazine probably is a reliable source, as long as it has been published and copies are available to anyone to read.

For information about giving barnstars, see Wikipedia:Barnstars. Best, Gwernol 00:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editor&Admin

Hi.I am an editor and I want to be an adminstrator. What are the requirements to become an admin?--Mark Chung (talk) 13:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC){{helpme}}

Hi Mark. There are no set in stone requirements. Most editors want to see broad experience across the project, including substantive mainspace edits (i.e., to the encyclopedia proper), familiarity with behind the scenes work (admin-like activities), participation in XfD processes such as at WP:AFD, knowledge of WP:CSD, vandalism fighting, civility, no blocks in your history, knowledge of policy and application of that knowledge, no vandalism and so on. In general, no one with less than 2,000 edits is almost ever made an admin. While edit count alone tells us little about you as a whole, experience can only be gained through editing, so the number is a gross indicator. Please note that with 53 edits total, you have no chance whatever at this time of being made an administrator based on lack of experience. I say this not to be harsh but to present to you a reality and hopefully stop you from the harsh results of posting an RFA that cannot succeed. Please read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, and review the current candidates at WP:RFA.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandals

How can I notice, warn and fight vandals?Mark Chung (talk) 13:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC){{helpme}}

That's quite easy. In the section interaction on the left side of the window, you see the point "Recent changes". There you can see the changes, which were just made. There are signs, which show vandalism. Sometimes it is very clear, as "Replaced page with Fuck..." Other cases are much more difficult to see. For example an IP number or an editor with a username, written in red, makes a longer edit or removal of text. With time, you will get a feeling for this. You remove the vandalism (but be sure it really is vandalism or you will be blocked because of the three reverts rule very fast) and then you add a vandalism warning on the vandal's talkpage. Warnings can be found here There you can find additional informations about vandalism. After the final warning, you report the vandal at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and the rest is no problem of yours any more. You have successfully fought a vandal. Much luck and happy editing.--Thw1309 (talk) 16:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Projects

How can I get involved in Wikiprojects? How do I count my contributions? Manually (one-by-one) or with a feature? How can I know if an another Wikipedian is online or not?--Mark Chung (talk) 01:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC){{helpme}}

If the page of the WikiProject you're interested in doesn't make it clear how to get involved, you could try asking at the WikiProject talk page. If no-one answers the Project's probably dead anyway. See Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters. I believe there's some kind of bot that lists users' status, but I can't find it right now. All it does is checks how much time has elapsed since your last edit anyway. Algebraist 01:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

It's User:StatusBot. Algebraist 01:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

But it's crashed, and been replaced by User:Chris G Bot 3. Algebraist 01:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

(e/c) Wikiprojects are easy to join. Just find one you are interested in and with most, just add your name to a list of participants (see here for a list). They are generally places you need to come to and you need to act to participate in. Another words, someone may propose something on a talk page for people to collaborate on; the project doesnlt come to you , though they may have a newsletter. You can count your contributions using one of the many counters at WP:COUNT. I prefer Interiots counter. As or knowing whether someone is online, you can't, that is, unless they have set up one of those "status" fields on their userpage which tell everyone whether they are.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User page

Please go to my user page...AFTER THIS! I want to sort the details to the right (neatly) like some of the user's user page but I don't know how! Can you help me to do this?Mark Chung (talk) 02:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

How? Everything seems neat to me. -- Mentifisto 04:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Where can I find more detail templates such as age, hobbies, favourites etc. ?(Like in my user page) Mark Chung (talk) 04:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

If you mean userboxes (since templates don't have hobbies or whatnot) you can find them here. -- Mentifisto 04:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Mark, the link you just added to Microscope was to a site that has a copy of the Wikipedia article on Microscope. In other words it was a link back to an earlier version of the same article. This is not useful and I have removed it for you. You might want to spend some time reading our guidelines on external links. Good luck, Gwernol 10:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject chess

Hi, and thanks for joining wikiproject chess! I notice you speak Chinese, and I would be very grateful if you could have a look at the Chinese Chess Championship. I translated this page myself from web sources in Chinese (although i can't read Chinese!). It would be nice if you could have a look at the article to see if there are any mistakes and perhaps you can fill in the missing winners (1962 and possibly 2007 championship). Possibly the winners can be found on the internet; but I just cant find them. All the best and happy editing! Voorlandt (talk) 17:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thousands Of Questions!

GOSH! I got thousands of questions ...... er ...... I mean 6

1.How can I link a word to a page (e.g. clicking "here" leads to another page etc.)

2.How can I make my name funky(e.g. ZacharyCrimsonWolf - clicking Zachary leads to his user page, Crimson for talk page and Wolf for contributions)?

3.How can I upload a picture?

4.Is there an editor can do but an admin can't?

5.How can I count other user's contibutions?

6.How can I protect a page? {{helpme}}--Mark Chung (talk) 00:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! I hope I can answer these to the best of my ability.

1. You can use "Wikilinks", which consist of placing [[ before a word and ]] after it (example: [[Sun]]; to change the text you see but keep the link destination, [[Sun|text you see]]. You can also use HTML linking; just paste a url into two brackets, like this; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mark_Chung link title].

2. You would just have to wikilink each part of the name. [[User:ZacharyCrimsonWolf|Zachary]][[User talk:ZacharyCrimsonWolf|Crimson]][[Special:Contributions/ZacharyCrimsonWolf|Wolf]] yields ZacharyCrimsonWolf.

3. See WP:UPLOAD.

4. Nothing technical; I guess an administrator can't run for a request for adminship, because that would be useless as they already have it.

5. See here for a list of edit counters.

6. Since you aren't an administrator, and only administrators can protect pages, you should file a request at requests for page protection.

Hope that helps! Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bots

What is a bot? How can I have a bot? What does a bot do?--Mark Chung (talk) 14:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC){{helpme}}

Have a look at:

• Wikipedia:Creating a bot
• Wikipedia:Types of bots
• Wikipedia:History of Wikipedia bots
• Wikipedia:Bots/Approvals group
• Wikipedia:Bot requests
• Wikipedia:User access levels
• Wikipedia:Bot policy

[edit] Newpage

How can I create a new page ?{{helpme}}

Before creating an article, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines which all articles should comport with. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles must not contain original research, must be written from a neutral point of view, should cite to reliable sources which verify their content and must not contain unsourced, negative content about living people.

Articles must also demonstrate the notability of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating the article.

If you still think an article is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation.

Apologies for giving a templated response, but I think it says everything rather better than I can. Algebraist 15:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quiz

I visited the Department of Fun and found a fish related quiz. I would like to create a game like that too. How can I do that? Also, must I put a summary after editing? Will it affect my RFA in future or cause inconvenience? I saw that most of my edits are without summary in the Interiots Counter.--Mark Chung (talk) 03:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC) {{helpme}}

1. I have NO IDEA what the department of fun is, but Wikipedia is not a place to play games.
2. You should ALWAYS enter an edit summary so other editors know what you are doing
3. You have been at Wikipedia less than one month, and you have edited an article exactly 17 times. I don't think Adminship is in your near future. You may want to become more familiar at Wikipedia and gain more experience making constructive edits to articles first.

I hope that answers you questions. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

To expand a bit, you should enter an edit summary wherever possible, since it helps other editors to know what to look for when they review your edit. Small edits like spelling and grammar fixes may be given a similarly small edit summary--no need for complete sentences.

I've got to agree with Jayron32, though, that you probably shouldn't be worrying about RFA for now. Most people have well over a thousand edits before they are nominated, so someone with only 17 mainspace edits wouldn't be able to pass. That said, though, people will be looking more at your recent edits when you do request adminship, so some small mistakes when you're still new are nothing to worry about. --Sopoforic (talk) 06:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

If you'd like to create this game, please do not do so on Wikipedia. Also, edit summaries are not mandatory, but should be entered whenever you are able to, as this lets other editors figure out what you are doing. Yes, most users who participate at RfA like to see lots of edit summaries because an edit summary may help eliminate confusion. Anyway, I hope that helps. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 06:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response to comments on my talk page

As to your edit history: its visible for all to see here: [1] And you have been editing Wikipedia since January 8th. Last I checked, the time expired between January 8th and January 26th is less than one month, as I accurately described above. Also, the number of times you have edited an actual Wikipedia ARTICLE, as opposed to a talk page, or user talk page, or something else is as follows:

1. 02:19, January 25, 2008 (hist) (diff) List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes‎ (linking)

So it looks like I was wrong. You have edited 16 articles, not 17 as I said above. My bad.

Finally, it was YOU and not I who brought up WP:RFA. I was responding to your question.

So please, before posting to my talk page, telling me that I do not know what I am talking about, you may want to check yourself. You asked for answers to your questions. I answered them. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 06:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Department of Fun

As you can see above, many Wikipedians disagree that I create a new quiz in Department of Fun because they think I shouldn't play in Wikipedia(probably?). If so, who created the quizzies in there? I am totally stuck!--Mark Chung (talk) 01:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC){{helpme}}

Hi there! I'm sorry some of the responses above have seemed a little harsh. Actually, I have found that many wikipedia users do not know about the department of fun (thus some of their hostility). A great way to create something a little entertaining and fun on wikipedia is to do so in a subpage of your user space. Don't go overboard or anything. Then, once you have created it, you can link to it from the DoF. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to respond here or on my talk page. Best regards! --omtay38 01:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Aww, gee, thanks for the barnstar! --omtay38 01:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portal

I have created a portal called Portal:Animal and I am lacking of experience to edit it. Could somebody help me to improve it?--Mark Chung (talk) 14:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

There is an existing portal about animals called Portal:Animals, your portal has been redirected there by another editor. Its a good idea to make sure that what you want to create doesn't already exist under another name. Best, Gwernol 14:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey there! Placebo Effect has redirected it; thanks for wanting to contribute! Just make sure that you search next time. :) Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 22:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist

I had a look at my watchlist and found something like(+370),(-699)etc. What do these mean?--Mark Chung (talk) 14:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

See Help:Watching pages. We have a pretty comprehensive help system that is a good first place to search for answers to this kind of question. Gwernol 14:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quiz

I want to put a link of my quiz on Portal:Animals like the fish quiz but I don't know how. Could someone help me to do that? The link to my quiz is at the bottom of my user page or at WP:FUN.--Mark Chung (talk) 02:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

You have to link to it in the Portal. You might want to go to Portal talk:Animals to ask someone to do it for you. And for the fish quiz, the scoreboard has to be manually updated. bibliomaniac15 02:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

You would have to put your quiz in the mainspace, i.e. not on one of your userpages. It could have a name like the name of the page the fish quiz is on. You could just edit one of the boxes on the portal page and add a note about the quiz. If you want to add a separate box about it it would take me a little longer to figure out how (I probably could, I guess). --Coppertwig (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UBX

This is an example of userbox that I an going to award the winner of the quiz. Could someone help me to improve it such as adding a picture so that it looks better then the fish quiz UBX?--Mark Chung (talk) 03:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

All you need to do is find a picture of an animal and place it in the userbox, like this;

My quiz has been created about few weeks ago but nobody seems to know my quiz. I have already listed it at WP:FUN but I still get no response! How can I tell the others about my quiz? Secondly, I saw a few colourful, funky and creative signature! My signature is plain like Gwernol, Algebraist, Jayron32 but not Mentifisto, Omtay38, Mop, Kerotan etc. How can I do that? Thirdly, Nobody wishes me HAPPY NEW YEAR!(Just joking......) {{helpme}}--Mark Chung (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. Some quizzes have links from portals. For example, Portal:Fish has a link to "the fish quiz". Maybe you could put a link from an appropriate portal to your quiz. It might be a good idea to ask on the portal's talk page first to see if anyone objects. Also, it would probably be appropriate to move your quiz out of your userspace if you do that; maybe you could give it a name like the one for fish. Because people following links from the Main Page are not supposed to end up in userspace. --Coppertwig (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SP

How can I find other user's secret pages?{{helpme}}--Mark Chung (talk) 02:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that's the kind of thing the helpme page is for. I don't know how to find users' secret pages, but I think you're supposed to figure it out yourself -- no cheating. :-) I think secret pages are for fun, and the helpme template is for when you actually need help figuring out how to work on writing the encyclopedia. Sorry. I turned off your helpme template by inserting "tl". You can turn it on again by deleting that. --Coppertwig (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Usually they're hidden in links in people's userpages. They're actually really easy to find. However, I'm concerned that you seem to be misunderstanding what Wikipedia is about. It's about writing articles, not social networking. Please try to do something like vandal fighting or something else constructive. bibliomaniac15 04:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia is not a social networking site

Welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you seem to be enjoying yourself, it's of concern that you appear to be mainly using Wikipedia for social networking activities rather than working to improve the encyclopedia. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site; there are other places that can be used for this. Thank you.

[edit] Recent edits

Hi Mark. I don't mean to sound unfriendly, however I'm a little concerned over your editing pattern. Most of your edits appear to be in the userspaces (anything with the User: or User talk: prefixes). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia first and foremost, not a network for socializing. Your help is need to make it grow. I look on your user page and it says that you speak Chinese. Maybe could you take a look at helping to translate articles? Thanks, Mønobi 00:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Good to know (:. In regards to this edit, there is something called twinkle. It is a powerful program that you can use to revert vandalism and warn the user as needed. Read WP:TW, WP:VAND, and WP:RCP if you'd like to help out in that regard. Good luck! Mønobi 03:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
