User talk:ThunderingTyphoons!

Welcome

Hello, ThunderingTyphoons!, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --Mrmatiko (talk) 12:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there an admin page on here giving guidelines of what is and isn't encyclopaedic content? Thanks in advance! --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 10:48, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More 'editors' pages', since admins are editors, too. Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and Wikipedia:Verifiability are good starting points; the navigation template at the bottom can lead you to other areas you're looking for. Note that the 'New section' tab will automatically place them at the bottom, below this, as they are supposed to stay in chronologic order for clarity and consistency.

Message for User:Mrmatiko

Hello again and thanks for a quick response! I'm not at all knowledgeable on that subject but I don't mind tracking down a source for the switch-off decision, perhaps from the conseil général (local govt) of Calais. Yes, I've got you watchlisted so there's no need to message me in future. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 19:17, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of us Wikipedians haven't got much knowledge about a lot that we write about. This can be pretty good because you tend to spend more time finding good sources than somebody who thinks they know everything about a topic. It's also pretty fun learning about something you've never come across before. If you are concerned about a change just be bold, if somebody disagrees with your edit then they will revert it (hopefully with an explanation) and you can begin discussing it on the relevant talk page. If you ever need any help there are plenty of people (as you've probably seen by now) you can ask. --Mrmatiko (talk) 10:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to tea

Hello! ThunderingTyphoons!, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. An awesome place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us! Charles (talk) 20:45, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note to self: all new Q's for the Teahouse go up the top of the page. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 14:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Something that might be helpful

Hi, just so you know, you can use <nowiki> and </nowiki> tags to force the display of the wikimarkup on a page. For example:

<ref name=EmptyRef>{{cite web|url=|title=|date=|accessdate=}}</ref>

If you already knew this then just ignore it, but otherwise I hope it helps. --Mrmatiko (talk) 16:00, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realise this and it'll help me in the future. I find Wikipedia's own explanations on how to do things too confusing so like to leave reminders for myself in proper English rather than wikijargon. Thanks a lot! --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nonfree content on your userpage

Per the policies on the usage of non-free images on Wikipedia, non-free images are not allowed on pages outside of the article namespace, including userpages. The image on your user page is copyrighted and unlicensed, so I had to remove it. I'm sorry if you are upset by my editing your page without your permission, but this is a rule where Wikipedia allows no exceptions. I want to make sure you know that this isn't personal. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or to seek another editor's opinion at the WP:MCQ discussion board. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Administrative divisions of Belgium

When editing a redirect that seems to be completely unrelated to a target, please look at the page history to ensure there wasn't valid revision to revert back to. Administrative divisions of Belgium was redirecting to Eritrea#Communities and Regions because of vandalism by IP at Belgium blanking and redirecting it to Eritrea. Unfortunately EmausBot had picked that up as a double redirect before the vandalism at Belgium was reverted. -- KTC (talk) 20:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message, but to be completely honest, I don't understand half of this because it's quite heavily jargonised. Would you mind explaining in more simple terms please? Thank you! --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 20:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You first blanked, and then edited Administrative divisions of Belgium with the edit summary "There is no reason why the blank page 'administrative divisions of Belgium should redirect to a completely unrelated article." If you go to Administrative divisions of Belgium and click on the View history tab, you can see a history of that page. From there you can see that up until 26 April 2012‎, the page was a redirect to Belgium#Communities and Regions. At 18:36, 26 April 2012‎, EmausBot changed the redirect to point to Eritrea#Communities and Regions. EmausBot is a bot that automatically fixes double redirects. If you look at the page history of the Belgium page, you will see that at that moment, the anonymous user 85.210.191.242 in an act of vandalism had blanked the Belgium page and redirected the page to Eritrea. This caused the original redirect at Administrative divisions of Belgium to become a double redirect that EmausBot automatically "corrected" to the Eritrea page. It was in this state that you came upon the Administrative divisions of Belgium page.

If I didn't explain that very well, please let me know and I will try my best. -- KTC (talk) 20:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, that second explanation was fine. I would have fixed the redirect there and then but don't know how. The next best thing seemed to be to provide a 'main article' link. Thanks a lot for you your help in coming back and translating it for me into thicko speak ;) Kind regards, --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 12:57, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 19

Hi. When you recently edited Southwood, Hampshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loma (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.

GAN Copy Editing Help Requested on Alfred V. Verville

Hello Guy1890! I am looking for some help on a Good Article nomination that I am seeking. The article is Alfred V. Verville. He is an American aviation pioneer who designed over 12 planes and is called the elder statesman of American aviation. He's even on a stamp! :) I noticed that you are pretty active on Wikipedia and are a member of the Grammar Wikiproject. I can use a second set of eyes to look over the article and make sure the copy is of a high enough quality to pass GAN. I would be forever indebted if you could assist! Also, here are the notes from some preliminary comments so far on the GAN evaluation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alfred_V._Verville/GA1 Thanks! :) Nasa-verve (talk) 13:57, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Canada — establishment or independence

Hi ThunderingTyphoons:

I've changed your sovereignty edit to independence. I just wanted to let you know I don't wish to appear obstructive, and I thank you for contributing to the search for a solution. We've had an extensive discussion, and the consensus appears to favour including the word independence in some way. The problem I see with your edit is that sovereignty, in its most basic sense, simply means self-rule. Canada was granted self-rule in 1867. NorthernFactoid (talk) 06:33, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NorthernFactoid. I have no opinion on which word should be used, I simply changed the incorrect spelling "sovreignity" to the correct "sovereignty". I certainly didn't change "independence" to "sovereignty", or vice versa. Thanks, --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 14:28, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
