Main page appearance

edit

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on September 11, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 11, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 18:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Japanese Mahjong yaku. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. 220.156.16.109 (talk) 08:40, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Japanese Mahjong yaku

edit

San kantsu (three quads) is not a yakuman hand. That means you cannot distinguish three (san, 三) and four (, 四) that are printed on the tiles and often used in the Japanese yaku names, or you are so careless.

Please refrain from removing original texts without any particular reasons, and adding obviously wrong information, without any references. Thank you. 220.156.86.186 (talk) 16:46, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I know how to distinguish 3 vs 4. So, I'll admit to carelessness. But again, get a username. As for references, Japanese Wikipedia is not a valid reference. However, I am allowing to keep those for now, because the Japanese articles do have valid articles within them; unfortunately, my ability to read Japanese is extremely basic.

Game strategies

edit

You cannot write strategies of mahjong in the articles, because Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook or textbook. Moreover, what is not referenced can be challenged or deleted anytime. If you like to have some strategies, you would be able to do it in your own website, for example. WP:NOTHOWTO above says wikiHow and Wikibooks are suited.

As to the ready hand, the section of Advantages and risks can be deleted, which was first written by some other editors. I'll leave that section for now if it helps. One reason is that there are similar descriptions in the Japanese article. For the reason above, you can remove it whenever you like. 220.156.1.236 (talk) 18:05, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

That material was long there before I even touched the article; but I agree. It shouldn't be there. Yet, it can be rephrased to describe the game conditions under riichi. So, we'll figure something out, on what to do with it. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 20:49, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Reading through that section, it was acceptable to simply wipe out the sub-section, because the statements in those sections were already mentioned above it. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 21:31, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Chess strategy. Strategy article on chess. Though that game is chock full of publications and examinations on the game's strategy. Mahjong? Not so much. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 23:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Copying into Wikia and/or other Wikis

edit

So, what's the "policy" regarding copying some text into anime related Wikia, or other Wiki based sites? Would there be a problem at all upon doing this? The advantage is two-fold: (1) copy-text may serve as a back up to the original article(s), and (2) writing styles within Wikia do not necessarily need to conform with Wikipedia:Fiction and other Wikipedia policies, which may impose a limit on related content. This is particularly true for anything related to in-universe writing. In any case, this inquiry is simply wondering about the prospect of copying Wikipedia text elsewhere. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 03:10, 20 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's not a matter of policy, it's a matter of law. The text of Wikipedia articles is available under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. Cheers, Goodraise 09:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. LeadSongDog come howl! 23:50, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Fan speculation edits on Future Diary

edit

I having a problem with user Innermokaluv at the Future Diary article. Innermokaluv keeps putting on the article that the Future Diary Redial OVA is non-canon. I keep telling the user that unless there's facts from the official sources that says the OVA is non-canon, this is nothing more than fan speculation. However, despite how many times i told the user why i remove this info, the user keeps putting it back. --FonFon Alseif (talk) 12:11, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'd give it a day or a week; but if he does continually persist, then I'll recommend a request for a short term semi-protect. And I never did watch this series, though I may actually add it to my backlog - watch for later. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 00:13, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sorry to bother you again. I'm afraid user Innermokaluv is at it again at the Future Diary article but this time he/she is trying to make the OVA sound like some comedy spin-off when actually the funny scenes are very few with most of the OVA being drama. Looks like a semi-protect might make Innermokaluv stop.--FonFon Alseif (talk) 14:27, 17 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of List of FIFA World Cup finals goalscorers

The article List of FIFA World Cup finals goalscorers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

this is not notable, there also is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_goalscorers and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_top_goalscorers

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Mahjong Soul moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Mahjong Soul, 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Infobox discretionary sanctions alert

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Examining the Arbitration link in the above will show that having an infobox is not standard. Johnuniq (talk) 07:30, 8 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, KyuuA4. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mahjong Soul".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

I know that generally, an editor's comments should not be altered by others. However, there is always the exception that proves the rule. I've amended your comments at WT:AV#Ryanair Flight 4978 to make the notice of the move discussion neutral. This is to avoid any suggestion of WP:CANVASSING, which I'm sure was not your intention. It is always better just to say that there is a discussion going on about whatever the subject is and leave a link to the relevant discussion. Other editors can then go to the discussion with no preconceptions of how to respond. They may agree with your position, they may disagree. Either is fine.

Hello KyuuA4! Per your comments in Talk:Criticism of Facebook#Article should be split up, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reviewing and leaving comments in the section I added to the talk page on 4 March 2023 to facilitate a new discussion about a potential move review and splits, merges, and retitle proposals for Meta Platforms family of articles. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:31, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Chicago Meetup for Wikidata Day

edit

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!
