    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest

If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Reverted episode summary in Heartbreak High

@FreeChurros but it was funny and mostly true Anthony2106 (talk) 08:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia isn't the place for bits. If you do something like that again, you're at real risk from getting blocked indefinitely from the entire website. You've written summaries for the other episodes, so you should do that for the final one as well. I don't want to have to bring in outside intervention. FreeChurros (talk) 09:22, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
i will do it for the final one. but i have added vadilization in the 6th one, saying quinni looked like taylor swift may not be important and isnt even mentioned by the characters, quinni may have been doing more Dopamine Dressing as a form of unmasking so maybe ill change it. can i add both? i like stupid jokes. ok ok ok ok ok ok ill learn to control my impulses. in fact next time i wont add stupid jokes. i say that but i like it saying she looks like taylor. well i like editing wikipedia more so ill change it now. pls dont ban me Anthony2106 (talk) 10:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Noticed. Thank you for remedying that.
I also feel the need to inform you I removed the line about dopamine dressing under episode 6, as you wrote this in a subjective way and used a Reddit comment thread as a source (Which is in violation of WP:RS). As a consequence, I also took out the mention of autistic monologuing. I understand you wrote "pls dont remove the mention of monologing as I like detail about autstic traits", but episode summaries usually focus on the current actions of a character/the gist of scenes, not on side character details and asides. If you can find a way to rewrite that line I deleted in a way that's more appropriate, by all means add it. (I do not watch this series, so I cannot).
If you want advice on how to shorten the episode summaries, I would suggest avoiding any quotes of dialogue & first-person pronouns like "we", as well as looking at the episode lists of other TV shows on Wikipedia to see how they're written.
I think you're on the right track but you still have areas that need much improving. FreeChurros (talk) 22:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@FreeChurros thanks, the reddit source wasnt for the dopimen dressing. but i understand, ill just write autistix traits that affect the episode, like in s1e6 quinni had to rest. quinni doesn't say its "autistic burnout" but its so clear it is and it affects the story. so only the important details that affect the story and are non subjective (clear) should be added right?
also reddit the original episode, is a good sorce right? cus one time i looked at the good doctor summerys and someone wrote that dr lim gose into a ptsd epsidoe. i dont have ptsd so i would of never knew it was called that, if this person learnt it was called that on reddit like on r/ptsd wouldnt that be correct? like people on r/ptsd probably know about ptsd. in that case wouldnt it be ok to refrence reddit? expecily if they mention the episode on r/ptsd then it would be ok right?
in the case of quinni i could just tell it was autistic monologing. but with her unmasking it was hard to know if she was just unmasking or trying to prove a point. so i seid that, then had a source to back me up, and to show that others found it confusing.
but this is verry subjective so its better to just not include it at all isnt it?
"""""
As a consequence, I also took out the mention of autistic monologuing.
"""""
dont punish me by taking out details just ban me instead. i dont realy mean that.
other details can have linked words like on epidose s1e6 "tell" gose to contact tracing as long as it helps the reader learn it can be linked.
but contact tracing was unlinked by someone cus of mos:ol
[[1]] i didnt think it was mos:ol i relinked it.
but linking monlologing isnt mos:ol so i might relink monoluging. like i made the sentece long on perpose to show monoloiging "quinni pauses, gets reddy to say her planed monolog". if your gonna unlink it, do it right and make it say "quinni responds" whats the point of having this hole sentece saying the word monolog, but it not linked to anytjing, stupid.
you should write a user page. Anthony2106 (talk) 01:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
As it says on the reliable sources page, Reddit is unacceptable in all cases.
Making sentences longer to incorporate Quinni's autistic traits when it doesn't serve the episode summary is part of the problem I'm talking about. And to be frank, though maybe they should have removed the mention of monologuing, I agree with the other user that the linking in this instance went against MOS:OL.
Assume that most other editors are just trying to help you. Please don't call anybody here stupid. That's poor form.
I'm fine without a user page. I don't really need one. FreeChurros (talk) 04:38, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@FreeChurros i didnt call you stupid, i just thought its stupid haveing a hole sentence talking about monolouging and not having monolouging link to anything.
i wont refrence reddit anymore. Anthony2106 (talk) 04:43, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
ive just started to relise people get rewards and banstairs on their userpages, so you should write one even if it's empty, but whatever you want. Anthony2106 (talk) 11:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

edit

  Hello, I'm Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Glossary of video game terms, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. YouTube videos should generally not be used as sources per WP:RSPYT. Belbury (talk) 12:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

but if the auther of these videos wrote a website about it, then it would be fine. fine ill find better sources. Thanks for helping. Anthony2106 (talk) 13:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, a WP:SELFPUBLISHED website would have the same problem. Gaming websites with proper editorial control are probably the best route to take here. Belbury (talk) 13:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Belbury I was thinking books, that would work. let me just open library geni--- I ment go to the local library like a legal person.
can you please check the source I added to galaga I think that was a small site, but with some things you gotta use small selfpunlished sites cus the topic may be so nesh that the info isnt in books or bigger sites. is that correct? or just folow the rules and just never use them, ill try not to ever use them. Anthony2106 (talk) 13:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
strategywiki.org is definitely inappropriate as a WP:USERGENERATED wiki source that could easily be incorrect. donhodges.com may be usable if Hodges is (per WP:SPS) "an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications", but if he's just some guy with no published videogame expertise then his website's not an appropriate source.

Everything's Gonna Be Okay promotional poster has been moved to the English Wikipedia

edit

Greetings! I see you uploaded commons:File:Everything's Gonna Be Okay 2021 Promotional Poster.png but noted it's a non-free image. Non-free images may not be uploaded to Commons. I have uploaded the image here on the English Wikipedia instead. Because of a file name conflict with your upload, it is now titled File:Everything's Gonna Be Okay Promotional Poster.png. —C.Fred (talk) 13:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

thanks for fixing it, I thoght you could only upload to commons, I never knew english wikipedia can keep images, and should it be called the og name, if i delete the og file can we use the og name? or is there this thing where you cant use the names of taken images even when they are deleted, thats anoying cus now this image will have a shityer name.

i reccon autism should be linked as its not a common word, ive seen it linked before, but it is right next to Asperger's "Farkle may have Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism." so maybe thats why you think its overlinking, in that case just link autism and unlink Asperger's as Asperger's is now part of the autism spectrum ever since the DSM5 in 2013, this episode is just wrong to say its a "form" of autism. its more like a old daganosis that isnt even used anymore thats named after some nartzi.
can i link autism now? its linked on lots of pages such as Autistic meltdown, stimming, OCD, Developmental coordination disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Social anxiety disorder#Differential diagnosis, Heartbreak High (2022 TV series) so its not a common word like car, cat, dog, toy, house, home, computer now those are commons words, i fully disagree with you 100% disagree with you 1000% disargree with you.
and having two links close to eachother is also somthing i see alot Anthony2106 (talk) 09:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable non-free use File:Paris Berelc as Alexa.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Paris Berelc as Alexa.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It probably dose fail the first one, but I dont see her around in real life I cant make my own free photo. well technicly the photo is called File:Paris Berelc as Alexa.png and that can't be replaced with anything taken in real life as it wouldn't be her playing Alexa, but i only uploaded it for her wiki page and that can be replaced by a free one.
Correct me if im wrong but basicly if I needed a photo of her playing Alexa the one I uploaded can't be replaced by anything else in the hole world as it wouldnt be her playing Alexa, as if it was a free photo that a fan took it would be her in real life, this is a time when it would be ok to use a non-free image. On the other hand if I needed a photo of Berelc it's wrong to use a non-free photo as a free photo could show up if a fan meets her in real life.
I didnt think about the first rule, I know for next time so thanks. ill delete it now, w
Why did you type "Non-free images of still living persons are pretty much never allowed per WP:FREER" who says living persons when you can say living people? it's like when I go in an elivator it says "Max 13 persons" I always think to myself "shouldn't it say "13 people?".
it breaks WP:FREER Anthony2106 (talk) 12:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The wording "living persons" is what Wikipedia uses in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, and I just use it to be consistent; you're right, though, in that "living people" is more natural. As for the image, the article is titled Paris Berelc, not Paris Berelc as Alexa or even Alexa (character); so, the image used for primary identification purposes should be an image of her, not necessarily how she looked portraying a certain role. For example, the image used for Tom Cruise is not a non-free image showing him as character from one of his films, but the image used in the article Ethan Hunt is a non-free image that shows Cruise as he appeared as Hunt. So the fact that Berelc is living and apparently not well-documeted hermit or recluse, not incarcerated for the rest of her life and not a wanted criminal whereabouts unknown who's hiding from the authorities, it's not unreasonable to expect the someone somewhere could take a photo of her at some time and then release it under an acceptable free license. That's pretty much the first hurdle that needs to be cleared when it comes to images of living people and Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
So if someone ever writes Alexa (character) ill reupload it, as wikipedia can't keep nonfree images that arnt used. Commons can but thats free images, I add to commons a little.
Why dose Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and elivators say living persons?, ill ask my english teacher after the break.
Thanks for talking to me. Anthony2106 (talk) 13:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Marchjuly the photo File:166552 v9 ba.jpg used on Jolie Jenkins is a nonfree photo added to commons and shes still alive, is it ok to mark this photo as speedy deletion? Anthony2106 (talk) 08:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Commons doesn't accept non-free content of any type per c:COM:FAIR. Files uploaded to Commons under a fair use claim are subject to speedy deletion per c:COM:CSD#F2. Commons, however, is a separate project with its own policies and guideline, and its own ways of dealing with things such as this. Because of this, issues with Commons files need to be resolved on Commons. The file you'referring to was most likely uploaded by someone who just thought anything found online was OK to upload. This happens quite a lot and the file has already been tagged by a bot for lacking a copyright license. The file will be deleted in seven days if a proper copyright license isn't added. It might even end up deleted before then as a copyright violation per c:COM:CSD#F1. If you can find the photo online, you can tagged it for speedy deletion yourself using c:Template:Copyvio. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:22, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Attacks in article notes

edit

Hello. I understand your frustration at people commiting copyright violations, but writing "Dont coppy from youtube thats fucken stupid" in an articles notes as you did at Rostered On is innapropriate and likely counts as an attack on other editors. Please keep in mind the civility policy. -- NotCharizard 🗨 12:22, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good point, I won't be so harsh next time and might fix it. How did you see my edit so fast? Anthony2106 (talk) 12:26, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Notcharizard also i just like swaring its funny, but ive learnt from this. Notcharizard is there a rule for signing notes? ive left some signed notes in Heartbreak High (2022 TV series) and Alexa & Katie Anthony2106 (talk) 12:33, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure on specific rules (I don't usually use them - it would probably be good for me to start using them more tbh). It's not just the swearing, but calling other editors stupid. Remember also that many people edit Wikipedia, and in some other cultures swearing may be seen as a lot more aggressive, or even violent, than it is in Australian-English.
I don't remember specifically how I saw the note, but I was using Huggle to do anti-vandalism work at the time, so probably via that. -- NotCharizard 🗨 12:39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
now i wanna try huggle or some edting program for wikipedia as ive heard of them before, sorry again for saying you were dead on this talk page. thanks for talking to me Anthony2106 (talk) 12:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, though im not too much of an artist as I don't often make art. Did you see it before or after pinged you?
also since we are thanking each other, thanks for writing Special interest (autism), it's good.

@Notcharizard i forgot to ping you. you know how i seid im not an artist well i kinda wanna make an artwork for infodumping Anthony2106 (talk) 00:40, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I saw it after you pinged me on the special interest talk, but decided to reply here to make sure we didn’t get too off topic on the talk page!
I encourage you to make an art for infodumping! Something I always think of nice for such topics is when Wikipedia is used in the image , like how Wiki-tan is used as the image for Moe anthropomorphism, so you could have someone infodumping about Wikipedia! That’s just something I personally think is nice though. -- NotCharizard 🗨 05:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Notcharizard yeah that might make more sense then having the person infodump about GUNLinux.
wikitan is also seen on ren'py. photos of web browsers often show wikipedia on the screen. so i might pick wikipedia Anthony2106 (talk) 06:55, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Girl Meets World episodes, you may be blocked from editing. I don't know how clearer it can be. If you cannot understand the concept of basic Wikipedia policies and guidelines, then you need to take a step back and discuss the issue on the talk page instead of trying to stonewall your changes with your "I am right" mentality and WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior. This has been pointed out to you multiple times now. If you cannot understand that, then this may not be the place for you, as Wikipedia is a collaborative project.

I recently reverted an edit you made on Autism, but the edit summary seems to have disappeared.
