Hi Nick,
thank you for your useful comments! I will update the "NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database" references for my NGC articles with more specific links, as you suggested.
All best,

Thanks for reviewing my new page and giving suggestions as how to make it better. I really appreciate your feedback. Have a great day, mate! ₪Rickn Asia₪ 04:32, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Nick,
I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.
Thanks! Pseud 14 ( talk) 13:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Nick Moyes. Thank you for your edits to the new article
Women in Red. I was wondering about
this edit where you state that changing edits from red to blue is "required". Can you please rationalize that? Required seems like an overstatement. Thank you again. Ping me back. Having fun! Cheers! {{u|

Hi Nick,
I think that what you've suggested to do in relation to the page about me is a good idea; before I open up a discussion on Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion page, I'll leave it to your discretion to review the sources on my article; however, I read the notability guidelines, and I believe that I do actually qualify for Wikipedia notability, based on what I read there (I certainly hope, at least). In any case, please let me know what the outcome is, if only for peace of mind, since as the date of this message, the article has been up for almost a week and may be vulnerable to deletion.
Thanks for your help and advice,

I appreciate all you've done and shall hope to address the whole thing again within a month.
It's my first wiki entry, so please forgive signs of naivety; the same applies in this response. The subject is very important and I would be devastated if the entry were deleted without warning as you imply sometimes happens!
Season's greetings, Nick, and many thanks again - Eric Eric Deeson ( talk) 15:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Many thanks, Nick, for your friendly, understanding and helpful encouragement. I especially like the idea of drafting a new article away from wiki itself, using the sandbox or (I assume you mean) Word. Surely the latter, and presumably the former, means people like you can't contribute to the growth of the thing? So I hope you'll allow me to continue to work where I currently am.
One point, if I may: I used the term "health / care" to cover "medical care, public health, and social care" (as noted in the second line). You have changed it to "healthcare" which covers only medical care. So I shall revert if that's OK.
Last, you imply that changing the title is not straight forward (understandably). I'd like you, therefore, to change it to "Public involvement (PI) in health / care research", please. The new terminology is sanctioned by use by NIHR and INVOLVE, the two main responsible bodies in the UK.
Apologies for the non-encyclopedic style: PI is my third full-time career (as a post-retirement volunteer) and it and its many problems excite me hugely! I'll try to hide my passion and bubbles in future!
Thanks again for what you've done and are doing, Nick, and best wishes for great 2018. Eric Deeson ( talk) 15:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, respected Nick Moyes, I asked you few days ago something regarding patrols in Teahouse. You talked something about bots. I didn't understand it then. Can you please again make me understand about that thing. My doubt is that my statistic page shows that I have Zero patrols, but I have edited many random articles and corrected many typos, as I am a Random page patroller and typo patroller.

What does the wealth of the family have to do with anything we did not ask for any public articles and have never promoted here we only want if there must be an article that it is clear neutral and that is completely accurate disgrace is a very strong word. I find that people ideas about wealth bias everything so many things stay that would be removed in any other article. Flamingoflorida ( talk) 00:48, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I apologise but this site is the problem because it is in downward spiral and likes of you waste your time. It is an atrocious site with unreliable content, some of it dangerous nonsense, and it is dominated by said ruleswankers who cannot see wood for trees. Rules, rules and more rules.

Hi Nick, you kindly suggested improvements to a new article Hélio Gelli Pereira.

Alternatively, I'd greatly welcome your advice for improvement.

Hi Nick, and happy new year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! To kick off the new year, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I treated you. My responses were combative and insulting, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry and I will not do it again. I will let it go because it was past, and I will just continue editing on here. If it is not too late to do this, I just wanted to say thank you for showing me how to use the Handbook of Texas as a repeated citation. I never did so when you showed me how to use it, and I just felt like now is the time to leave a thank you note on your talk page. I haven't edited on here in a while, but in the meantime I will create my user page. When I am done, I will contact you so you can see it. Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and happy new year! Regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 23:03, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

I am so relieved that I wasn't combative or insulting to you, and I really appreciate you saying I was reaching out to them, and you do learn something new everyday!

Hello Nick,
I see you have removed the work that I have done on Grace McCann Moreley's page. I am an employee of SFMOMA, the institution she founded, and used only valid well researched sources to update a bio which, in our opinion, does not in its current state give her nearly the credit she deserves. She is a classic early feminist hero, often erased by the men around her and thus I am deeply bothered by the reverting of her page. If I did not follow instructions to edit properly please let me know, as it is crucial that her legacy be well explained and preserved.

Hello Nick,
Sorry to be disturbing you with this issue but I've seen that you claimed that I offended you but I didn't and I don't that IP and I've seen the edit history and the guy who did it, did it at 1 a.m. and at that time I was sleeping, and I only discovered this issue this evening, and also to prove that this was another person, as you may know, I only edited Defiant Wrestling and looking at this IP's contributions, here, he edited in 2009, so which also prooves that is not my IP and my IP is this one 192.71.244.20, and the one SPAs you saw on the AfD.
So listen, I am telling the truth I do not intend on to lie to you, that person that claimed to be me, is nothing but an imposter, so please note that this (192.71.244.20), is my IP, everything that comes from another IP, isn't me, now believe in what you want I am telling the truth, now do what you want with it.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience and for this whole situation because someone must be using my account, to do that, I don't why that guy did that, but what it's done, it's done. Again sorry for this whole situation.
TheCorageone1 ( talk) 20:26, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Nick, but it wasn't me who made those really offensive comments, like I told you, I asked you why you nomiated it and all but I was never oing to the point of that guy of offending and mistreating for no reason, I'm not involved with that and at the time that Ip made that comment was at 1am, at 1am I was sleeping and I only got aware of that offensive messages, in the evening of the next day after I saw your comments on that on the Defiant talk page.
Goodness, TheCorageone1! I am trying to close this issue in your favour. 'So please don't compound the issue by lying to me or to Spartaz. I am quite happy to apologise to any editor - including yourself - if I have unfairly accused them of bad behaviour. There are unsigned edits from you on my talk page history at 23:08 and 23:16 showing you were awake and responding to me shortly after unsigned offensive comments were left at 23:02 from the IP address. You were clearly not asleep at the time, and you made a further 30 edits to Defiant Wrestling up until 01:11 the next morning, so I suggest you don't labour the point - my presumption of good faith in your favour only stretches so far. (You will see I have now deleted the warning I left on your talk page - don't dig any deeper).
Regarding using the template, I've looked at its applications and I don't quite thing it's the right way of being open about your editing. Until the end of last month you were using both your registered account and your IP address to create articles, and it looked like you were two separate people, and that's not a good thing to be doing. I suggest you simply add a line to your user page at User:TheCorageone1 to state: "I very occasionally make minor edits when not logged on as User:192.71.244.20" Then at User:192.71.244.20 you should create the user page with an edit that states: "I normally edit as User:TheCorageone1, but may make occasional edits from this account when not logged on". (I can do this for you if it helps.) After that, I'd suggest you restrict your editing to just your registered account. I hope this helps you and we can draw a line under this matter, and that you can find less contentious and less promotional work to do in the year ahead. I shall be watching.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.In addition to the discretionary sanctions described above the Arbitration Committee has also imposed a restriction which states that you cannot make more than one revert on the same page in the same 24 hour period on all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, agricultural biotechnology, or agricultural chemicals, broadly construed and subject to certain exemptions.
As the template says, this is just letting you know about the restrictions in these topics, not implying wrongdoing. I usually post this when people begin editing articles in the general topic so they don't get tripped up by the editing restrictions. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 18:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Kingofaces43. Would you care to cast your eye over all the sources I have placed in the Talk page of New Breeding Techniquesand mark those you don't accept please? At first sight you do appear to have rather stormed in and struck a lot of content based on things like WP:CRYSTAL, despite government agency WP:RS being used to state clearly when things are likely to happen in a rapidly developing field of regulatory change. I think a little bit of positive feedback and guidance from you would have been welcome first, rather than just blanking large sections which I had, in good faith, adequately referenced, but where you could have simply identified where references needed to be stronger. I'm quite happy to walk away from this article and leave it to others. I accept, despite being a professional biologist, that this is not my area of expertise. But I'll be frank, placing a discretionary notice on an article and then clearing out large sections within an hour of doing so is quite bad form on your part - it's hardly yet at the centre of any debate, and there's nothing phoney or WP:POV in any of the edits I've made. I might politely suggest that your actions in striking content in a quite heavy handed way without even having the courtesy so say you are going to do this is quite possibly liable to create the kind of annoyed, irritable editor that you, via the application of discretionary sanctions template, hope to avoid. In future, please help editors first by steering them on their Talk pages - though perhaps you had planned to do this afterwards - I hope so, as I'm always happy to listen, discuss and learn. Oh, and your !vote at WP:AFD on this subject would be appreciated, too. Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:30, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nick! I told you I would contact you when I finished my user page. I am all done, now. Please come check out my user page then ping me back and tell me what you think! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States Colman2000 ( talk) 23:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick. Colman2000 here. I am still working on my user page, but I just wanted to come and ask for some help. When you have the time, will you please show me how to do these?
First off, in the article of Blackfoot, Texas, I am going to add the history section to the article. I read WP:Close paraphrasing, and it seems pretty confusing. I am absolutely going to paraphrase this section. I will not write it word for word, and I don't even plan on doing that, so please don't think I will, because I am not. Here is what it shows on its article in the Handbook of Texas:
(Note: text deleted - accidental copyright infringement; Question answered elsewhere by another editor) Nick Moyes ( talk)
This is what I am going to add to the History section of the article, but I will not write it word for word. How do you think I should paraphrase this so that it doesn't look like I wrote it word for word?
Also, in the article of Mendoza, Texas, I was given a warning on my talk page that I did not fully source the Geography section of that article. I contacted the user who gave me the warning and they said that this was the edit that caused their warning, and that only part of this section I added was sourced. Will you please look over this edit and tell me what I did not source, and tell me how I should source it? Afterwards, I will kindly be glad to source that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. After reading these, please tell me how you think I should do these as best you can, and I will gladly do these. Thanks! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 03:55, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick, thank you for writing me back! I think using Google or Bing Maps is the best way to cite the distances from Mendoza to both Austin and San Antonio. I looked at the article you made, and I will certainly reference it and add external links to it.
Regarding my user page, I find that the userbox saying I "owned a TV" is kind of pointless, so I just removed it from there. I wanted to add some off-Wiki interests, and it shows what I love to do when I am not on Wikipedia, such as shows I love to watch and want to participate on.
With the two questions you asked me, I can justify that I am an expert in Geography because I have loved Geography since I was a kid. I got introduced to it from Postcards from Buster, and I have fell in love with it ever since. My friends called me the "king of geography" when I was in elementary school. Ask me a question about any state in the United States or any country in the world, I can immediately tell you the name of the capital or the largest city in the state or country. I have a huge liking for it, and I call myself an expert on it. But if you want me to change it to something I'm interested in, I will do just that. Also, I may be busy with school, so why I wrote "I will feel free to do so," meant that I will try to answer it when I can. I may be busy with school, so then I will get to their question when I can. If I should remove it, I will do just that, because that doesn't really make sense.
I did get a reply from the Teahouse about what I wrote on the last post I added to your talk page, and I respect that you removed it, because I agree that I copied it without getting permission first. That was my fault, and I will not do it again.
Either way, thank you for writing, and I will do all that you wrote. Regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States Colman2000 ( talk) 18:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick. I just added the Google Maps reference on Mendoza, Texas, and it was a success! I used it as both a reference and a note, and it worked! Will you please check to make sure I did it right, and if it looks good? Thank you so much for your help, and I understood what you wrote at the Teahouse. I just needed to get more help, and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much, and cheers! Colman2000 ( talk) 17:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Nick Moyes: Thank you so much! I agree that maybe I shouldn't use the coordinates in the Geography section since they are in the infobox and shouldn't be used twice. Finally the info I added to the article is not unsourced anymore, and I think the article looks perfect! I now see the external link as it is confirmed, and I will do this more often in articles I will expand and new articles I will add to Wikipedia from scratch. Thank you so much for your help, and I really appreciate it! A big cheers to you! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 22:03, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Nick Moyes: Thank you for giving me a notice for the message I left on your talk page. I think you are a HUGE help and I think that I am becoming a better editor on here! You are a great helper and I thank you so much! I will let you know about any new articles I create, and I will continue to leave any questions I may have on your talk page. Thank you, and have a great day! I wish you the best of luck in new edits you make. Cheers again! Colman2000 ( talk) 02:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

So what do you suggest that i should do now.There are more references that i can include and each and every time i have tried to follow all the guidelines.The rules states that the editor should not just look for notability in the referenced sources only but also in other sources not included in the article. Tell me if you are not being inconsiderate and biased.And in addition i asked for your advice but nothing came through. So am asking again what am i doing wrong every single time i write an article or make an edit which is very factual by the way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patpatrick ( talk • contribs) 14:25, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
It is easy to hate and being biased but it is difficult to do what's right. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. Everyone has their own days. One day I will be an editor. You're so unfair.

Re: this edit, is there a reason that you change the hidden text in sandbox templates? It seems to cause more trouble than it fixes, since editors copying over a change from the sandbox often forget to fix the hidden text and it ends up in the non-sandbox version. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 05:07, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
thanks for your advice regarding the need to use a Creative Commons license on the page/s I'm creating for Wikipedia's ‘List of South African women artists’. At present there IS a page on her on Wikipedia's ‘List of South African artists’. So that should answer any doubts as to her ‘notability’. But that page contains several distortions, and some incorrect ‘facts’. Rather than trying ‘to set the record straight’, I prefer to create a page on ‘List of South African women artists’. Mainly because I believe that more women than guys would have an interest in visiting such a page, (and visiting art galleries!); and buying prints or paintings. AND most of all, alerting female readers to the impending publication of her memoirs ‘A Brush with Life’, of which I have recently completed the editing and formatting. And to those who cite a potential ‘conflict of interest’ in my creating this fresh page, I can assure them that anyone reading my Introduction to these memoirs will soon realise that it is NO hagiography! Now, unlike you, I have no official document to prove that I was sole beneficiary of her Will (after making disbursements to her daughter). And I realise that it would be quite a hassle to prove, over a quarter century after her death, my entitlement.

Hi Nick,
I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.
Thanks! Pseud 14 ( talk) 13:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

this edit where you state that changing edits from red to blue is "required". Can you please rationalize that? Required seems like an overstatement. Thank you again. Ping me back. Having fun! Cheers! {{u|

Hi Nick,
I think that what you've suggested to do in relation to the page about me is a good idea; before I open up a discussion on Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion page, I'll leave it to your discretion to review the sources on my article; however, I read the notability guidelines, and I believe that I do actually qualify for Wikipedia notability, based on what I read there (I certainly hope, at least). In any case, please let me know what the outcome is, if only for peace of mind, since as the date of this message, the article has been up for almost a week and may be vulnerable to deletion.
Thanks for your help and advice,

I appreciate all you've done and shall hope to address the whole thing again within a month.
It's my first wiki entry, so please forgive signs of naivety; the same applies in this response. The subject is very important and I would be devastated if the entry were deleted without warning as you imply sometimes happens!
Season's greetings, Nick, and many thanks again - Eric Eric Deeson ( talk) 15:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Many thanks, Nick, for your friendly, understanding and helpful encouragement. I especially like the idea of drafting a new article away from wiki itself, using the sandbox or (I assume you mean) Word. Surely the latter, and presumably the former, means people like you can't contribute to the growth of the thing? So I hope you'll allow me to continue to work where I currently am.
One point, if I may: I used the term "health / care" to cover "medical care, public health, and social care" (as noted in the second line). You have changed it to "healthcare" which covers only medical care. So I shall revert if that's OK.
Last, you imply that changing the title is not straight forward (understandably). I'd like you, therefore, to change it to "Public involvement (PI) in health / care research", please. The new terminology is sanctioned by use by NIHR and INVOLVE, the two main responsible bodies in the UK.
Apologies for the non-encyclopedic style: PI is my third full-time career (as a post-retirement volunteer) and it and its many problems excite me hugely! I'll try to hide my passion and bubbles in future!
Thanks again for what you've done and are doing, Nick, and best wishes for great 2018. Eric Deeson ( talk) 15:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, respected Nick Moyes, I asked you few days ago something regarding patrols in Teahouse. You talked something about bots. I didn't understand it then. Can you please again make me understand about that thing. My doubt is that my statistic page shows that I have Zero patrols, but I have edited many random articles and corrected many typos, as I am a Random page patroller and typo patroller.

What does the wealth of the family have to do with anything we did not ask for any public articles and have never promoted here we only want if there must be an article that it is clear neutral and that is completely accurate disgrace is a very strong word.

Okay, I apologise but this site is the problem because it is in downward spiral and likes of you waste your time. It is an atrocious site with unreliable content, some of it dangerous nonsense, and it is dominated by said ruleswankers who cannot see wood for trees. Rules, rules and more rules.

Hi Nick, and happy new year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! To kick off the new year, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I treated you. My responses were combative and insulting, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry and I will not do it again. I will let it go because it was past, and I will just continue editing on here. If it is not too late to do this, I just wanted to say thank you for showing me how to use the Handbook of Texas as a repeated citation. I never did so when you showed me how to use it, and I just felt like now is the time to leave a thank you note on your talk page. I haven't edited on here in a while, but in the meantime I will create my user page. When I am done, I will contact you so you can see it. Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and happy new year! Regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 23:03, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Nick,
I see you have removed the work that I have done on Grace McCann Moreley's page. I am an employee of SFMOMA, the institution she founded, and used only valid well researched sources to update a bio which, in our opinion, does not in its current state give her nearly the credit she deserves. She is a classic early feminist hero, often erased by the men around her and thus I am deeply bothered by the reverting of her page. If I did not follow instructions to edit properly please let me know, as it is crucial that her legacy be well explained and preserved.

Hello Nick,
Sorry to be disturbing you with this issue but I've seen that you claimed that I offended you but I didn't and I don't that IP and I've seen the edit history and the guy who did it, did it at 1 a.m. and at that time I was sleeping, and I only discovered this issue this evening, and also to prove that this was another person, as you may know, I only edited Defiant Wrestling and looking at this IP's contributions, here, he edited in 2009, so which also prooves that is not my IP and my IP is this one 192.71.244.20, and the one SPAs you saw on the AfD.
So listen, I am telling the truth I do not intend on to lie to you, that person that claimed to be me, is nothing but an imposter, so please note that this (192.71.244.20), is my IP, everything that comes from another IP, isn't me, now believe in what you want I am telling the truth, now do what you want with it.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience and for this whole situation because someone must be using my account, to do that, I don't why that guy did that, but what it's done, it's done. Again sorry for this whole situation.
TheCorageone1 ( talk) 20:26, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Nick, but it wasn't me who made those really offensive comments, like I told you, I asked you why you nomiated it and all but I was never oing to the point of that guy of offending and mistreating for no reason, I'm not involved with that and at the time that Ip made that comment was at 1am, at 1am I was sleeping and I only got aware of that offensive messages, in the evening of the next day after I saw your comments on that on the Defiant talk page.
Goodness, TheCorageone1! I am trying to close this issue in your favour. 'So please don't compound the issue by lying to me or to Spartaz. I am quite happy to apologise to any editor - including yourself - if I have unfairly accused them of bad behaviour. There are unsigned edits from you on my talk page history at 23:08 and 23:16 showing you were awake and responding to me shortly after unsigned offensive comments were left at 23:02 from the IP address. You were clearly not asleep at the time, and you made a further 30 edits to Defiant Wrestling up until 01:11 the next morning, so I suggest you don't labour the point - my presumption of good faith in your favour only stretches so far. (You will see I have now deleted the warning I left on your talk page - don't dig any deeper).
Regarding using the template, I've looked at its applications and I don't quite thing it's the right way of being open about your editing. Until the end of last month you were using both your registered account and your IP address to create articles, and it looked like you were two separate people, and that's not a good thing to be doing. I suggest you simply add a line to your user page at User:TheCorageone1 to state: "I very occasionally make minor edits when not logged on as User:192.71.244.20" Then at User:192.71.244.20 you should create the user page with an edit that states: "I normally edit as User:TheCorageone1, but may make occasional edits from this account when not logged on". (I can do this for you if it helps.) After that, I'd suggest you restrict your editing to just your registered account. I hope this helps you and we can draw a line under this matter, and that you can find less contentious and less promotional work to do in the year ahead. I shall be watching.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.In addition to the discretionary sanctions described above the Arbitration Committee has also imposed a restriction which states that you cannot make more than one revert on the same page in the same 24 hour period on all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, agricultural biotechnology, or agricultural chemicals, broadly construed and subject to certain exemptions.
As the template says, this is just letting you know about the restrictions in these topics, not implying wrongdoing. I usually post this when people begin editing articles in the general topic so they don't get tripped up by the editing restrictions. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 18:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Kingofaces43. Would you care to cast your eye over all the sources I have placed in the Talk page of New Breeding Techniquesand mark those you don't accept please? At first sight you do appear to have rather stormed in and struck a lot of content based on things like WP:CRYSTAL, despite government agency WP:RS being used to state clearly when things are likely to happen in a rapidly developing field of regulatory change. I think a little bit of positive feedback and guidance from you would have been welcome first, rather than just blanking large sections which I had, in good faith, adequately referenced, but where you could have simply identified where references needed to be stronger. I'm quite happy to walk away from this article and leave it to others. I accept, despite being a professional biologist, that this is not my area of expertise. But I'll be frank, placing a discretionary notice on an article and then clearing out large sections within an hour of doing so is quite bad form on your part - it's hardly yet at the centre of any debate, and there's nothing phoney or WP:POV in any of the edits I've made. I might politely suggest that your actions in striking content in a quite heavy handed way without even having the courtesy so say you are going to do this is quite possibly liable to create the kind of annoyed, irritable editor that you, via the application of discretionary sanctions template, hope to avoid. In future, please help editors first by steering them on their Talk pages - though perhaps you had planned to do this afterwards - I hope so, as I'm always happy to listen, discuss and learn. Oh, and your !vote at WP:AFD on this subject would be appreciated, too. Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:30, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nick! I told you I would contact you when I finished my user page. I am all done, now. Please come check out my user page then ping me back and tell me what you think! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States Colman2000 ( talk) 23:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick. Colman2000 here. I am still working on my user page, but I just wanted to come and ask for some help. When you have the time, will you please show me how to do these?
First off, in the article of Blackfoot, Texas, I am going to add the history section to the article. I read WP:Close paraphrasing, and it seems pretty confusing. I am absolutely going to paraphrase this section. I will not write it word for word, and I don't even plan on doing that, so please don't think I will, because I am not. Here is what it shows on its article in the Handbook of Texas:
(Note: text deleted - accidental copyright infringement; Question answered elsewhere by another editor) Nick Moyes ( talk)
This is what I am going to add to the History section of the article, but I will not write it word for word. How do you think I should paraphrase this so that it doesn't look like I wrote it word for word?
Also, in the article of Mendoza, Texas, I was given a warning on my talk page that I did not fully source the Geography section of that article. I contacted the user who gave me the warning and they said that this was the edit that caused their warning, and that only part of this section I added was sourced. Will you please look over this edit and tell me what I did not source, and tell me how I should source it? Afterwards, I will kindly be glad to source that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. After reading these, please tell me how you think I should do these as best you can, and I will gladly do these. Thanks! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 03:55, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick, thank you for writing me back! I think using Google or Bing Maps is the best way to cite the distances from Mendoza to both Austin and San Antonio. I looked at the article you made, and I will certainly reference it and add external links to it.
Regarding my user page, I find that the userbox saying I "owned a TV" is kind of pointless, so I just removed it from there. I wanted to add some off-Wiki interests, and it shows what I love to do when I am not on Wikipedia, such as shows I love to watch and want to participate on.
With the two questions you asked me, I can justify that I am an expert in Geography because I have loved Geography since I was a kid. I got introduced to it from Postcards from Buster, and I have fell in love with it ever since. My friends called me the "king of geography" when I was in elementary school. Ask me a question about any state in the United States or any country in the world, I can immediately tell you the name of the capital or the largest city in the state or country. I have a huge liking for it, and I call myself an expert on it. But if you want me to change it to something I'm interested in, I will do just that. Also, I may be busy with school, so why I wrote "I will feel free to do so," meant that I will try to answer it when I can. I may be busy with school, so then I will get to their question when I can. If I should remove it, I will do just that, because that doesn't really make sense.
I did get a reply from the Teahouse about what I wrote on the last post I added to your talk page, and I respect that you removed it, because I agree that I copied it without getting permission first. That was my fault, and I will not do it again.
Either way, thank you for writing, and I will do all that you wrote. Regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States Colman2000 ( talk) 18:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nick. I just added the Google Maps reference on Mendoza, Texas, and it was a success! I used it as both a reference and a note, and it worked! Will you please check to make sure I did it right, and if it looks good? Thank you so much for your help, and I understood what you wrote at the Teahouse. I just needed to get more help, and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much, and cheers! Colman2000 ( talk) 17:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Nick Moyes: Thank you so much! I agree that maybe I shouldn't use the coordinates in the Geography section since they are in the infobox and shouldn't be used twice. Finally the info I added to the article is not unsourced anymore, and I think the article looks perfect! I now see the external link as it is confirmed, and I will do this more often in articles I will expand and new articles I will add to Wikipedia from scratch. Thank you so much for your help, and I really appreciate it! A big cheers to you! Kind regards from Aloha, Oregon, United States, Colman2000 ( talk) 22:03, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Nick Moyes: Thank you for giving me a notice for the message I left on your talk page. I think you are a HUGE help and I think that I am becoming a better editor on here! You are a great helper and I thank you so much! I will let you know about any new articles I create, and I will continue to leave any questions I may have on your talk page.

So what do you suggest that i should do now.There are more references that i can include and each and every time i have tried to follow all the guidelines.The rules states that the editor should not just look for notability in the referenced sources only but also in other sources not included in the article. Tell me if you are not being inconsiderate and biased.And in addition i asked for your advice but nothing came through. So am asking again what am i doing wrong every single time i write an article or make an edit which is very factual by the way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patpatrick ( talk • contribs) 14:25, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
It is easy to hate and being biased but it is difficult to do what's right. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. Everyone has their own days. One day I will be an editor. You're so unfair. Thanks for your time anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patpatrick ( talk • contribs) 16:56, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Re: this edit, is there a reason that you change the hidden text in sandbox templates? It seems to cause more trouble than it fixes, since editors copying over a change from the sandbox often forget to fix the hidden text and it ends up in the non-sandbox version. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 05:07, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
thanks for your advice regarding the need to use a Creative Commons license on the page/s I'm creating for Wikipedia's ‘List of South African women artists’. At present there IS a page on her on Wikipedia's ‘List of South African artists’. So that should answer any doubts as to her ‘notability’. But that page contains several distortions, and some incorrect ‘facts’. Rather than trying ‘to set the record straight’, I prefer to create a page on ‘List of South African women artists’. Mainly because I believe that more women than guys would have an interest in visiting such a page, (and visiting art galleries!); and buying prints or paintings. AND most of all, alerting female readers to the impending publication of her memoirs ‘A Brush with Life’, of which I have recently completed the editing and formatting. And to those who cite a potential ‘conflict of interest’ in my creating this fresh page, I can assure them that anyone reading my Introduction to these memoirs will soon realise that it is NO hagiography! Now, unlike you, I have no official document to prove that I was sole beneficiary of her Will (after making disbursements to her daughter). And I realise that it would be quite a hassle to prove, over a quarter century after her death, my entitlement. But it’s a risk I’m prepared to take… Dave Desmond DeSoto 383 ( talk) 08:24, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

When I look through everything you have done, said, and said again (and again) (and again) and all the help you give to everyone, I felt you deserve this for just being you and a stand up guy! Thanks for all of your contributions over the years! Galendalia ( talk) 10:18, 30 April 2020 (UTC) |
Hi Nick, I see what did at a user page just now. I come across this frequently and it is most often clear a juvenile. Should revdel be the appropriate action? If so, I will start requesting it. Thanks in advance. S0091 ( talk) 23:07, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey can you “email me” please? I have a sensitive question for you. Thank you Nick. Galendalia Chat Me Up 05:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
