User page usage[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively, you may add {{Db-u1}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 17:53, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The section of the guideline you may be violating is the prohibition on user pages that look like articles. It's fine to have a user page about yourself, but you should make it so that readers won't mistake it for an encyclopedia article and get confused. As a quick solution you could add {{user page}} to the top of the page, which shows a message explaining that the page is a user page and not an encyclopedia article. Thanks for your assistance.

Red Shogun412, yes, that looks much better after your change. There are ways to keep lists of things you're interested in, articles you've created, and so on, even if they are long. Other users do that, sometimes; as long as it doesn't look like an article, you're fine. The way it is now, is fine, too, if you like the way it is now.

Yes, I do actually like it better the way it is now. I wasn't really thinking about how far I should extend the page's contents, but this keeps the page clean so I'm satisfied. Red Shogun412 (Talk) 19:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note about Armenia–Azerbaijan articles[edit]

Hi, Red Shogun412. Thank you for your edits. However, please be aware of the community consensus regarding Armenia and Azerbaijan:

Politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both—broadly construed and explicitly including the Armenian genocide—are placed under an extended confirmed restriction.

An extended confirmed restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed. Most constructive talkpage participation is excepted, however participation in requested moves is not. For this reason, I have struck your comments at Talk:2023 Nagorno-Karabakh clashes. You may still participate on that page outside of the requested move.

More generally, please know:

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

March 2024[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Johnny Quick (Crime Syndicate). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
