Teahouse logo

Hi Thanoscar21! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, You probably get loads of questions about this, but I can't figure out how to archive my talk page..., has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

Your GA nomination of 2048 (video game)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2048 (video game) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Bilorv -- Bilorv (talk) 23:21, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Regarding recent edit

Hello Thanoscar! Recently you did a rollback on an edit I did for The Buttertones' Wikipedia page and stated I did not source a reliable source. BrooklynVegan is the news outlet that reported on the original situation and I did cite it properly. It does have a copy of the instagram post that was publicly released by Clem from Cherry Glazerr but here is a link to her statement: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqb8P3FJb5/ Would this be a considerably better source to use? The only mistake I made on the edit had to do with the date, I meant to write down July 15th, 2020 instead of April as this only happened a few days ago.

Your GA nomination of 2048 (video game)

The article 2048 (video game) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:2048 (video game) for issues which need to be addressed.

Rollback

Hi, you rolled back an edit I made for not citing a reliable source. It was to the character list for a TV show which is an unsourced list of information. Not sure why you singled out that particular edit and not one of the other two I made. Interestingly you changed the unsourced, but slightly more accurate description I updated after watching the fifth episode of the series back to an earlier, unsourced, slightly less accurate version. Is it ok if we go with the more accurate version please?--86.31.190.41 (talk) 22:24, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

As a heads up; it appears to me that you're using rollback inappropriately on good faith edits rather than vandalism despite the instructions from User:Mz7 above. I have left them a message asking them to discuss this with you.--86.31.190.41 (talk) 22:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

I've clarified this in WP:REDWARN/A - rollback in RedWarn is the same as a normal revert as it adds an edit summary Ed6767 talk! 02:40, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

RL Thornton sources

Hi - you just left me a message saying I didn't use a reliable source to cite the information I referenced on the R.L. Thornton page. The D Magazine article I cited fits the wikipedia criteria so I don't understand your comment. Can you clarify. 76.183.236.229 (talk) 00:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk page archive

I've not taken a conscious decision not to archive my talk page, it's just something I've never given thought to at all! For years there was very little traffic on it, so it never came to mind. You're right, though, it's something I should probably do since the page is getting rather long. Neiltonks (talk) 07:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to April 29 that did not include a direct source.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the edit notice on that page, the content guideline and/or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. All new additions without references are now being either reverted on-sight or in some cases where the patroller is especially motivated, immediately sourced. I've gone ahead and backed this edit out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, it's not required but it sure would be helpful if you didn't accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you and please keep up your good work! Toddst1 (talk) 23:00, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Toddst1, thanks for telling me! I'll keep it in mind. Thanks, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 16:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Braided Hair half cent moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Braided Hair half cent, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 00:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

CVUA admission request

Hi, Thanoscar21, hope that you'd be fine and safe. I was here to request you that can you accept me as your pupil at CVUA. I may be your first pupil if you agree. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 12:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Empire AS, hi! I seem to remember seeing you at Puddleglum's page a few months ago. Can you link the previous CVUA page? It's so I don't repeat things you already know. One more thing: I'll mainly be using RedWarn. It's basically the same as Twinkle, but with bigger icons. Twinkle will mainly be used for WP:CSD. I'll set up your page later today; I look forward to working with you! Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 18:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Yes I was being trained by PG2 for nearly a month but he/she is missing since September 2020. May be, they forgot their password or due to any other reason, they aren't back. My training page is User:Puddleglum2.0/cvua/Empire AS. But I want to know how did you know that I was already trained by Puddleglum2.0? I was thinking that you don't know this. However, I'm ready to start. Am I your first pupil? Another request is that can you give me more work and task to perform? May be 2X or 3X or even more? Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 18:27, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Empire AS, Puddleglum was my CVUA trainer, so I used to pop in their TP to ask questions/whatnot from time to time. About the work, you're about halfway done with the course so far, so more work would happen if we each answer each other's pings quickly. I'm usually on Wikipedia every day, so you'll have more to work on. Unfortunately, the syllabus is the same, so when the course is done, you can patrol recent changes. I've pinged you at the page, and I'm starting where you left off (CSD examples). Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:19, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Li Wenliang

A tag has been placed on Dr. Li Wenliang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Superfluous. We have thousands of articles about people with degrees, and none of them has such a redirect, or should have.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Markjvanwoert, if Dick Kulpa died there would be at least one reliable source stating his death.

Helping as a trainer in CVUA

Hello Thanoscar, I see that you're a trainer at CVUA. I was wondering if I could help out there, given that most of my time on Wikipedia is spent reverting vandalism (mainly through the abuselog, sometimes through recent changes). I couldn't find a list of 'requirements' on the actual CVUA page, so I'm asking here - I hope that's alright with you. Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 12:07, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Pahunkat, there's no real set of rules. It's just whether you have the time and the experience to train others. You've been here longer than I have and have more edits than I, so I really don't see why not. The CVUA program doesn't include the abuselog, just a heads up. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 22:06, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Pahunkat, oh, and I forgot: you can see my template here. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 15:28, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice Thanoscar! I'm guessing these templates are open-source and trainers can make their own versions based on these? Pahunkat (talk) 15:30, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Pahunkat, yeah, I based this off of my own training page, and modified it to make RedWarn the primary tool. Feel free to add whatever you want to that. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Lang Leav (Criticism Section Revision)

This section is not entirely accurate and is more opinion based rather than being objective. It does not include any of the positive critique from numerous world renowned and recognised media publications and focuses mainly only on a negative narrative. From sources that have doubtful academic or journalistic credentials. If this is to be an honest, balanced and a fair interpretation, this section needs revision or to be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.49.254 (talk) 02:48, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

As noted in the instructions, the poll is intended solely for those who intend to file a request for administrative privileges in the near future. It becomes highly speculative to provide feedback on your chances beyond that. As suggested in the instructions, you would be better served finding a friendly, experienced editor to give you feedback. isaacl (talk) 23:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Isaacl, all right, thanks for the advice. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 22:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Editing group looking to learn about Counter-Vandalism

Hello! I am a member of a group that has been learning together how to edit, basically through an ongoing edit-a-thon that meets once a week. We are relatively new Wikipedians (about six of us, who are librarians, teachers, physicists, and graphic designers with an average of about four months of editing experience each). We have a consensus that we would like to learn more about counter-vandalism as a way many of us might like to participate in doing the work going forward. Since you are in the same range of time zones as ourselves (we live spread across the continental US), we wondered if you might be willing to join us one week (by Zoom, chat, or other function) to talk to us about this type of work? Ultimately, it is likely that one or two of us may sign up for the academy and then share skills with the rest of the group. Thank you, Oughtta Be Otters (talk) 05:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Oughtta Be Otters, you can ask me any questions right here on this talk page! I'm a little bit confused; so, you'd just like me to train you at the CVUA? As for the Zoom, any of you can just ask questions here; I like to have a record of things and for the purposes of transparency. I'd be glad to train you for the academy, and looking through your contribs, you have done much to help this encyclopedia, and thank you for your efforts. I'll create the training page once you'll clarify a bit, and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of training you! Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 22:50, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanoscar21, thank you for your response. I realize my original request was a little unorthodox, and suspect it would have just led to me requesting an opportunity to be trained. Thus, if you are still willing, I would be really grateful to kick off the training process. Gratefully, Oughtta Be Otters (talk) 10:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Oughtta Be Otters, all right! I've pinged you at the talk page, let me know if it didn't pass through. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Biden

Apparently a 'new' editor has chosen to change your lead idea at Joe Biden & refuses to undo his bold version :( GoodDay (talk) 02:56, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay, I'm assuming you mean the version that seemed to have consensus? I'm pretty sure Prinsgezinde violated the BRD rule, as pinned on the TP. I changed it back to the consensus-ed (if that's a word) version. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:31, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Draft:Channing Diaz

Hello Thanoscar21. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Draft:Channing Diaz, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not a test page. Thank you. Passengerpigeon (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Passengerpigeon, can you tell me what you'd tag it as, if you'd tag it at all? I'm trying not to assume a combative tone, more of a curious tone. I tagged it as G2 because:
  • It's 99% the kid making a page about himself
  • Doesn't belong at Wikipedia
  • He said that he was 10, so he's probably just seeing if he can make a page.
Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
As much as I'd like to nuke pages like this, it simply doesn't meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion; A7 (non-notable) only applies to published articles, not drafts, and G2 only applies where the content appears to be a test and contains no usable information (such as "Bold textItalic textuebfyyiywhidbfhvweyqvfiyVF4"). We will just have to wait six months for it to be deleted under G13. Passengerpigeon (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Passengerpigeon: I see now, thanks for replying. I've also formatted your reply, hope you don't mind. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:33, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I want to join CVU

I Want to join CVU . Please admit me Jogesh 69 (talk) 17:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Jogesh 69

Jogesh 69, you have a request over here, so maybe wait for for that to be answered? Also, a quarter of your own edits have been to your own userpage; you only have 91 edits in the namespace. You've also been warned multiple times on your talk page to stop doing certain things, yet you continue to do them. As of right now, I don't see how you would benefit from a CVUA training, maybe you can come back after two to three months? Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 22:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

No, I'm anti-Trump, but I'm proud of myself for reverting an edit that insulted the members of an entire TP. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 20:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

About my edit summary

I didn't think Wikipedians would be so anti-fun as to consider a tongue-in-cheek summary of a perfectly legitimate and informative edit vandalism. Maybe I overestimated this site's sense of humor. —GreenWeasel11 (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

GreenWeasel11, I understand the joke, and I laughed at the joke, but Wikipedia's edit filter might have filtered it out. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 16:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
@GreenWeasel11: Fix ping. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 16:29, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
So the real problem here is that vandalism-detecting bots aren't programmed to understand jokes. Anyway, any human should be able to agree that I'm protected by the sentence "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism." —GreenWeasel11 (talk) 16:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
​That's true, but ClueBot NG can't really understand the difference between good faith and vandalism. You won't get in trouble (because bots aren't perfect, obviously), but there will be a message on your talk page. Just curious, are you on WSB? Thanoscar21talkcontributions 16:39, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
I am indeed (as of yesterday; I'm a bandwagoner), with the same username, which may be unwise. —GreenWeasel11 (talk) 17:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

CVU Student request.

Hi, I am WeißFocusRS, a new-ish user that is very interested in helping the wiki, I read that you are a previous academy graduate. I would like to learn how to counter vandals, and you seem like a good trainer. I am using Central Standard Time, so let's see if this will work out. :D PS: I have been blocked before due to an edit, but I did manage to get myself unblocked. I was sincerely sorry about that one, and I want to make up for it by helping the CVU.WeißFocusRS (talk) 15:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

WeißFocusRS, hi! I see you only have 17 edits in the mainspace; the recommendation in the CVUA page is to have 200. You can check your count here. If you'll come back maybe after a month or two, then I'd be glad to accept. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 22:13, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, it is very much appreciated, I will come back after that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeißFocusRS (talk • contribs) 17:56, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

CVUA (Counter Vandalism Unit Academy) Student Admission Request

Hi, Thanoscar21. I am Iloveguppy, a new user in Wikipedia. I have recently been interested in becoming a member of the counter vandalism unit and noticed that you are a trainer for CVUA. Wonder if you could accept me as one of your students.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Iloveguppy 07:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Iloveguppy, hi! On the CVUA page, it says that around 200 edits in the mainspace are necessary, and you have less than 15. You can check your edit count here. If you'll come back with a bit more experience and after a couple of months, I'd be glad to accept you. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 Oh ok, I will see you when I hit 200 edits then :)

 Best regards

Gridiron in the UK 🇬🇧

I started watching Ch4 coverage of the NFL in 1980 and followed it for a number of years. I remember a game played in Brighton around 1982-4 that I took my young boys to see. There doesn't seem to be any record of the game. Did I dream it? Johnny Marzola (talk) 17:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

not reliable sources

I can't remove misleading information just because it is sourced? And how do you deal with sources that is spreading false information with malicious intent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randmlymee (talk • contribs) 22:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Randmlymee, can you please tell me how it's misleading? Please, don't try to whitewash information of an article. Everything has two sides, and at Wikipedia, we must cover both sides. Those sources; as far as I could see, they don't have any malicious intent, but I've tagged it with [better source needed]. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 23:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
