Welcome to Wikipedia...

Welcome aboard! We're glad you wish to help develop Wikipedia, and we hope you enjoy participating in this virtual community as much as we do. As a new contributor, you may feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer size and scope of this project (which includes over 100,000 regular participants)...

...but don't worry, things will become easier and clearer as you go, and if you have any problems, there will always be other Wikipedians happy to help, see Wikipedia:Requests for more information. There are some resources set forth below to help you get started. Good luck and have fun!

If you would like to get a good overview of the project and how it works you could read through the introductory page which is found at Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia. The same basic information can be seen at the Help:Introduction. There is also Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure, a 7-mission interactive guided tour which covers all the basics about editing and the expectations and norms of the Wikipedia community.

To browse help related pages see the help menu or help directory. Or you can use the search box at Help:contents (accessed at any time by clicking Help displayed on the left side of all pages). There is also a copy of a comprehensive published book, at Wikipedia: The Missing Manual.

Tip: Sign your name - At the end of your comments simply type four tildes (~), like this: ~~~~. If you are using the edit toolbar option (it usually appears above the edit screen by default), click the signature icon: , to add the four tildes; this will automatically produce your username and the time, aiding the flow of discussion.

Finding your way around

To understand Wikipedia, it is easiest to think of this website as having two types of pages: pages that are part of the encyclopedia itself, and pages of the community (used by contributors to help build and operate the encyclopedia).

To find your way around the encyclopedia, either enter a term into the search box at the top-right side of the screen, or go to Wikipedia's table of contents. Clicking on links like this one will take you to relevant or related pages. If you know the name of the topic you are looking for, simply type it into Wikipedia's search box and press Go.

If you would like to look around Wikipedia to see what's on it, keep in mind that many major subjects have a root article on the Wikipedia:Contents/Overviews page and an outline on the Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines page.

There are some other "Tables of Contents" type pages on Wikipedia. They are:

Wikipedia:Contents/Portals – portals are digests of excerpts and things to do
Wikipedia:Contents/Lists – this is a list of item lists (like List of dog breeds)
Wikipedia:Contents/Glossaries – alphabetical lists of definitions

Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them.

Wikipedia's community pages include instructions, help contents, policies and guidelines, processes, discussion forums, places to make requests, pages to report problems, and user pages. These are all pages which we use to develop the encyclopedia and to communicate with each other in that mission. We even have an online newspaper, The Signpost, that reports on developments that affect the encyclopedia and its community, from within and abroad.

Directories

Some directories to help you find your way around the community are:

Wikipedia:Department directory - what gets done where
Wikipedia:Questions - where to go to ask questions
Wikipedia:Community portal - Wikipedia's hub of activity. It includes announcements, news, ongoing projects, and task lists. This is where to find out where your help is needed most.
The Signpost - discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community.

Collaboration groups

WikiProjects are social groups of contributors (anyone may join them), who work together as a team to improve Wikipedia. These groups often focus on a specific topic area (for example, women's history) or a specific kind of task (for example, copyediting). WikiProject are one of the central places for editor collaboration and the organization of specific topics. The English Wikipedia currently has over 2,000 WikiProjects and they all have a variety of tasks to get done (for example, Canadian articles to improve).

Our "Rules"

Wikipedia does not employ hard-and-fast rules and there is no need to read any page before editing. However, some standards and behavioural expectations may be enforced. Don't be afraid to contribute as you are encouraged to be bold in editing in a fair and accurate manner (See: Wikipedia:Core content policies for more information)

Five pillars (a summary of our fundamental principles)
Introduction to policies and guidelines and Simplified ruleset
Policies and guidelines – Help page/Overview
List of policies
List of guidelines

If you need help...

If you've made a mistake and wish to undo it, revert it. Here's how: click history at the top of the page you made the mistake on. Then click on undo at the end of the first line which is your edit. Then publish changes. See more detailed instructions at Help:Reverting.

There are two main styles of help on Wikipedia: self-help and assistance...

Self-help involves reading the help and instruction pages around Wikipedia. Some very informative self-help pages are:

Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia - Help:Introduction (module tutorial)
Wikipedia:FAQ - (Index)
Help:Contents - (Index)
Wikipedia:Tips - (Index)

When you get stuck, confused, or befuddled, assistance is available on Wikipedia's "desk" and "request" pages - use these when self-help hasn't provided you with an answer:

Teahouse – A place to get help with editing for new editors.
The Help Desk – For general questions regarding the usage of Wikipedia.
If you place {{Help me}} "then your question" on your talk page, a volunteer will assist you there!

Almost anyone on these lists will help you as well:

Tip of the day

Brilliant pictures

You probably know that Wikipedia's best articles become Featured Articles. But did you know that a similar process exists for images? Go to Featured Picture Candidates to help judge which images are both attractive and valuable to Wikipedia.

Of course, the best can be found on featured pictures. Many of these photos are taken by Wikipedians. If you are a photographer, you can add yourself to the list, or encourage others by nominating great photos you come across. Feel free to use featured pictures in your own works (according to the terms on the image description page).

December 2016

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Oomerabad. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Kaka Mohammed Oomer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kaka Mohammed Oomer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of عمرئ

Hello, Nabeelgm. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, عمرئ, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

TimothyJosephWood 12:36, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of عمرئ for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article عمرئ is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/عمرئ until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TimothyJosephWood 12:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Jamia Darussalam. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Jamia Darussalam, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Reversion of table formatting

Hi there, I have reverted these edits of yours, because they don't make sense, and they are inconsistent with consensus arrived at through discussion here. Why don't they make sense? Easy to answer: If Raajakumara, Doddmane Hudga, Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna and Uppi 2 all grossed 40 crore, they should all be in the same rank position. It's not Wikipedia's place to arbitrarily decide that Raajakumara belongs in the #4 spot rather than in the #7 spot. This problem has implications all across the encyclopedia, because often editors will include statements like "the film is the seventh highest-grossing Kannada film". Is that statement true if it could also be the 4th highest-grossing film? Of course not. Organising them into the same ranking prevents us from giving preferential treatment to any one film, and thus, is consistent with our neutral point of view policy. If you don't like the formatting, your recourse is to open a discussion on the article's talk page and seek a new consensus. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop posting false claims on your user page.

Hi there, please stop posting false claims on your user page. You are not a reviewer, you are not a rollbacker, you are not a Senior Editor III, I doubt that you were adopted by Airplaneman, your userpage has not been vandalised 5 times, your user page has also not been vandalised 9 times, you have not made 44,000+ edits at Wikipedia, you have not made more than 400 edits at Wikipedia, you have not one of the 5000 most active Wikipedians, and you are not #1486 on the list of most active Wikipedians. Another editor has twice before [1][2] removed false claims. If you do this again, I'll interrupt your editing privileges. That would be a silly thing to be blocked for. Volunteers have other things to do than supervise user page falsehoods. If you want to play around with the templates, use your User:Nabeelgm/sandbox. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Mohit Baghel

The article Mohit Baghel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable actor. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohit Baghel was deleted and other attempts to create this was also deleted as WP:G5. The only reason why I did not CSD this as WP:G4 was because the author has promised to add more references in the talk page, even though my searching does not indicate that there are any better references.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mohit Baghel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mohit Baghel, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Mohit Baghel, a page you have created yourself.

This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Jupitus Smart 12:58, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gudiyatham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tamil (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:09, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Veeramadevi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Veeramadevi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. PRehse (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Viswasam, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Viswasam

The article Viswasam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of satisfying WP:NFF

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

January 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Please be aware that per this policy, your signature must contain a link to your userpage or talkpage. If you sign comments in the usual manner this is done automatically. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Userpages

I’ve noticed that you also are asking other users to create their userpage, including an IP user. I have just deleted that talk page as there is no reason to pressure other users into creating userpages, especially IP users as at some point all IPs are re-assigned and a new user could edit from the same IP while having a userpage that has nothing to do with them. Userpages are a tiny part of what Wikipedia is and actually do not do anything to improve the encyclopedia, which is the primary purpose of Wikipedia, so please stop sending such messages or creating userpages for others unless explicitly asked to do so.

I’ve also noticed that you never reply to messages here, I would appreciate some indication that you have read and understood these messages. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:54, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to these observations by Beeblebrox, noting your creation of a "Hi I'm Groot!!" userpage for an IP shortly after that IP followed your AfD opinion with a supporting opinion and edit of yours, it is well worth reading WP:SOCK and avoiding such situations in future.

Bots Newsletter, March 2018

Bots Newsletter, March 2018

Greetings!

Here is the 5th issue of the Bots Newsletter (formerly the BAG Newletter). You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM

Magioladitis 2 happened, leading to further restrictions on Magioladitis (decision, summary).
Betacommand 3 was proposed to be amended to lift the indefinite ban on Δ, but was unsuccessful (decision).
A motion concerning Crosswiki issues (mostly concerning Wikidata) was passed (see discussion).

BAG

Hersfold was removed from the BAG due to long term inactivity.

BRFAs

We currently have 6 open bot requests at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval, and could use your help processing!

Discussions

While there were no large-scale bot-related discussion in the past few months, you can check WP:BOTN and WT:BOTPOL (and their corresponding archives) for smaller issues that came up.

New things

WP:BOTDICT, a dictionary of common bot-related terms (see discussion).
6 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion).
The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey happened. Two bot-related proposal passed, #6 deploy Article Alerts to other languages and #10 Commons deletion notification bot, although other entries may affect bots as well.
Category:Wikipedia bots and its subcategories has had some cleanup. Bot-related pages that were historically important but are no longer of interests can be found in Category:Wikipedia bots (historical)
The edit summary limit has been increased to 1000 characters (see T6715). If a bot you operate relied on the old truncation limit (255 characters), please review/update your code, as overly long summaries can be disruptive/annoying. If you want to use extra characters to have more information in your edit summary, please do so intelligently.
You will soon be able to ping users from the edit summary (see T188469). If you wish to use this feature in your bot, please do so intelligently.

Upcoming

HTML Tidy will be phased out in June 2018, or possibly earlier. This may affect some bots (see FAQ).

Deletion discussion about P.S Mithran

Hello, Nabeelgm,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether P.S Mithran should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/P.S Mithran .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

July 2018

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to pretend to have user rights and authorities you do not have and continuing to mess around with other users’ user pages, and generally just not seeming either willing or able to understand what Wikipedia is and how it works. Also pretty much never replying to messages on your talk page.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:36, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalizers

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Nabeelgm (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I just took action on vandalizers Nabeel Gm 01:47, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yunshui ^雲 _水 07:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Decline reason:

If you understand what you did wrong, then you will need to explain it to us so that we can actually see that you understand - you need to convince a reviewing admin that you understand, not just state that you do. So please explain, in your own words, what you were doing wrong and why it was wrong. Then explain how you will behave differently if unblocked. This might sound pedantic, but we regularly see blocked editors claiming they understand something without actually understanding. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:31, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Beeblebrox: the block is not necessary ,i regret the damage or disruption caused to Wikipedia,

Nabeel, you may think that copying and pasting cookie-cutter responses prompted from the unblock template will help you be unblocked quicker, but noooo, admins are not usually stupid, and they can usually tell you're just slapping stuff together. If you can't present a cogent argument using your own ability to communicate, you're probably not going to have much luck. If English is not your native language, you might have better luck contributing at the Wikipedia in your native tongue. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:18, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock Request

Hi Administrator ,

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Nabeelgm (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked because of disruptive edits to Wikipedia ,I created pages for IP addresses , I put a block tag on a user and I'm not communicative was the reason I was blocked from editing. But now I understand that I don't own Wikipedia.I apologize deeply for my past edits. I assure the reviewing admin I won't make any disruptive edits and only edit articles which I can cite a source... pls unblock me (The aforementioned words are from my heart ) Thanks..

Decline reason:

Here, you seem to be saying you simply didn't understand before. This is simply not plausible. You clearly understood that you did not own Wikipedia, and you clearly understood you were being disruptive. You appear to have set out to actively harm Wikipedia. I think it best if we leave you blocked. Perhaps once you've had a few months to think, you may wish to apply under WP:SO. At that time, you'll have to address why you attempted to harm Wikipedia and why we should trust you again. No sooner than six months from now, though. Yamla (talk) 00:57, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

@Cyphoidbomb: hi I have waited for a long time, I'm willing to contribute to wiki anxiously. How much more time will it take for me to unblock...I won't damage wiki you have my word.... Pls pls.... Unblock me asap... Thanks bro.

Bots Newsletter, August 2018

Greetings!

Here is the 6th issue of the Bots Newsletter. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM

Nothing particular important happened. Those who care already know, those who don't know wouldn't care. The curious can dig ARBCOM archives themselves.

BAG

There were no changes in BAG membership since the last Bots Newsletter. Headbomb went from semi-active to active.
In the last 3 months, only 3 BAG members have closed requests - help is needed with the backlog.

BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

24 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
5 open BRFAs and 3 BRFAs in need of BAG attention (see live status).
54 approved bot tasks since the start of 2018. Of note, Community Tech bot 5 (the #10 Wish on the 2017 Community Survey) was approved to notify users concerning problematic images and files from Wikimedia Commons.

Also

If you're a bot operator that can help with Tidy/Linter error cleanup (see discussion, discussion), please file a BRFA!
8 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion, discussion, discussion).

Discussions

These are some of the discussions that happened / are still happening since the last Bots Newsletter. Many are stale, but some are still active.

Use of tags by bots – Exploring the use of a new 'bot' tag.
Mass page moves – Bot policy question/clarification about mass moves.
Creation of redirects – Bot policy question/clarification about the creation of redirects.
Guidance on disruptive use of semi–automated tools? – Related to meatbots (see also MOS discussion, which resulted in small addition to MOS:VAR).
Discussion concerning WP:BOTFLAG/WP:RC – A reminder that bots should use the bot flag when it makes sense to use it (see also VPT discussion and CREATEBOT update).
Out of curiosity... (to all bot operators) – BotPasswords vs OAuth usage amongst bot operators.
Introducing Toolhub – Toolhub is looking for feedback.

New things

{{Automated tools}}, a new template linking to user-activated tools and scripts has been created. It can be used in articles previews, and can be placed on any non-mainspace page/template (e.g. {{Draft article}}) to provide convenient links to editors.
AWB 5.10.0.0 is out, after nearly 20 months without updates. If you run an old version, you will be prompted to install the new version automatically. See the changelog for what's new. Note that the next version will require .NET Framework 4.5. Many thanks to Reedy and the AWB team.
BotWatch, "a listing of editors that have made >2 edits per minute [without] a bot flag", is being developed by SQL (see discussion).
Massive updates and improvements have been made to Citation bot in the past few months (see discussions, discussions, discussions). You can activate the bot here, amongst other methods.
HTML Tidy has been phased out (see Tech News #28).
{{Newbot}} has been reorganized a bit (diff). In particular, it links to previously approved BRFAs (see discussion).
Wikipedia:Bots#See also has been reorganized a bit (diff).
The bot dictionary has two new entries, context bot and context-sensitive edit.
The bot request header has been updated to include better guidance (see discussion).
The subcategories of Category:Wikipedia bot requests for approval have been sorted in a consistent manner to make past BRFAs easier to find.

Request reason:

Hi, I was banned from the platform almost 3 yearsago . Back then I was unaware of Wiki rules and I also was a kid and made a disruptive edit that caused my account to be banned. Now after years I have properly read Wikipedia rules & terms and I assure you that I won't make the mistakes I made earlier. I'm now aware what edits i am supposed to make and what not to. I now am a lot more mature and I'm sticking to don't edit/ make change if I don't have a source to confirm & verify my edits. Thanks again

Decline reason:

This block seems to be for more than just "a disruptive edit" as you term it. It seems more based on a pattern of things. Please better explain your understanding of why you were blocked and what you will do differently going forward. only (talk) 14:31, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@only I don't remember exactly as the block was made almost 3 years ago. When @Beeblebrox blocked me at that time a user was kinda updating false figures to the box office page of Indian cinema . So I had posted request for account deletion on his talk page. At the time I thought it was the right thing. But but again now I know exactly what I have to do and what not to, I don't actually remember other edits that were disruptive to the best of my knowledge and remembrance. If I'm unblocked I'll make sure that edits I make will have a reputable sources which confirm my edits.Cheers

Well, if you don't remember what edits/behaviors led to your block, you cannot avoid repeating the same edits/behaviors. Might I suggest that you reread the messages on your talk page? Thanks, --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:29, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS 33876

User has requested unblocing at UTRS. The appeal is now closed. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC) @Deepfriedokra I think I had explained what caused @Beeblebrox to block me, I just said I didn't remember anything else I may have did that caused the block. Thanks for your suggestion . I did recheck my talk page and I didn't really find anything that may be related . Thanks again ! And yeah I was clear on the edits part & I don't really plan on making any big edits . Any minor edits I make will also be sourced properly. If I'm unblocked it's great. If not that's fine too 😊 . Thanks for your time.[reply]

I'm actually planning on deleting this account and creating another one , to start fresh you know , cheers

1. Accounts can't be deleted. 2. If you create a new account to "start fresh" while this one is still blocked, that account will need to be blocked as a sockpuppet. only (talk) 15:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Only so I have to get this account unblocked 😓 , I just stated everything that happened. Can u reveiew my request again? Thanks. I don't really have anything else to say , I'm not sure what more to do.

Like I said above, there's more than just this one incident going on. You'll see further up why you're blocked and will need to explain that. But based on how this is going, I don't foresee an unblock in your future. only (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Only I did read all sections on my talk page , I found I had added user boxes which I didn't own . I believe I had deleted them when the moderator warned me of it. Other than that I didn't find any other vandalizing edits. That I may have made. Thanks again

What other accounts have you used? Have you edited in the last three months while logged out? Don't tell us the IP, just yes or no. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:36, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra no I haven't made any edits. @Deepfriedokra @Only @Beeblebrox I went through all my talk messages again and found out that I didn't had linked sources to my edits , and I create pages which were nominated for deletion but most of them were found out to be genuine as I provided sources later on . As I said earlier from now on I'll definitely add sources to my edits & I will not create any page without source . Thanks , I have been an active member for 5 long years . Please consider my request to unblock

There was also the matter of the use of multiple accounts on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Veeramadevi, as warned on 27 January 2018 above. AllyD (talk) 15:18, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AllyD I don't think I used multiple accounts. I didn't find any warnings on my talk too .

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
