Hello, thank you for reverting vandalism on Ibiza Airport, this helps the Wiki! RMS52 ( talk) 08:57, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
The best tips are to read the guidlines for editing on the Wikipedia, and start editing. I would also suggest asking an admin for any advanced information. RMS52 ( talk) 09:00, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edit on the 1940 in Australian literature page. I take your point about the lead sentence not making sense - although I've seen it so often now I know what it's getting at. The original sentence on this and other "year in Australian literature" pages is based on the standard "year in literature page". That page, using 1940 in literature as an example, starts: "The year 1940 in literature involved some significant literary events and new books." There are probably around 500 of these pages - there are now some 80 Australian pages as well - so I think making the change in all of them is going to take some doing. Might be best if we changed it back. Any thoughts? Perry Middlemiss ( talk) 12:15, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Perry Middlemiss, I finished. I added some bold and changed a word or two to make more sense but its pretty much the same. Thanks again for the help Tortle ( talk) 04:35, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Please read WP:WIAGA and WP:LEADLENGTH. While I agree that the lengths of the iPhone 5S and Bernie Sanders article are a bit long for their overall size, you should not fail articles because they do not meet your personal criteria of "I will only mark this as a good article if the lead section is shorter in lengh than the infobox to it's right and if someone turns the hitler quote into a block quote."
Also, WP:CHECKLINKS is a good tool for checking if the references in the article are accessible on the Internet.
Thanks for editing Wikipedia. sovereign°sentinel alt 07:21, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Tortle, your enthusiasm for Wikipedia is clearly high, which is great. However, for someone who has been editing Wikipedia for a week, and under this name for four days, this enthusiasm is clearly outstripping your knowledge of various Wikipedia processes.
On your first day as an autoconfirmed user, you have already nominated ten articles in the
WP:GAN process, in direct contravention of the instructions which clearly says Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination.
You have also opened a Good Article review and closed a move request. These are not things new editors should be doing before gaining a great deal more experience (months, not days).
Since you appear to be a new editor (your request to usurp the name Tortle certainly implies that you are), please work, read, and observe more before venturing into areas that call for experience. I am reverting all of your GANs, since this kind of bulk nomination is inappropriate in any event, and more so since you have not done significant work on any of the articles. I will also be mentioning your actions at WT:GAN shortly, since in addition to the ten nominations there are already issues raised with your first review. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:47, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Far be it for me to challenge people who take the time to review articles for GA, but in this case I think it was a hasty promotion. The article, at best, is C-class. Cassianto Talk 19:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello Tortle,
I came across your contributions and noticed that you have recently moved the old WikiProject Wikipedia to Wikipedia:Defunct WikiProject Wikipedia and tagged it as "inactive", while attempting to create a new WikiProject Wikipedia with different focus from the original one. (The old WikiProject focused on Wikipedia-related articles, while the new one seems to focus on its internal workings.) I think you may have handled the situation incorrectly. If you were simply trying to revive the old project, you could have just revived it without moving the page to the new title. If you wanted to create an entirely different WikiProject, you should submit your ideas for approval at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals instead of just making it without prior discussion. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Dealing with inactive WikiProjects for information on how to properly deal with inactive WikiProjects, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Creating a WikiProject for the steps to creating (or reviving) a WikiProject. CabbagePotato ( talk) 20:20, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello Tortle, I'd come here to say the same thing as User:CabbagePotato. WikiProject Wikipedia was "dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of itself", which meant content (generally articles) about Wikipedia, such as the article "
Wikipedia". It wasn't to do with maintaining project pages (those prefixed by Wikipedia:) or improving the site in general. There're in the region of 800 pages that come under the-WikiProject-formerly-named-Wikipedia, see category
WikiProject Wikipedia and its subcat
Wikipedia articles by quality.
Moving it again, to "Improving Wikipedia" is worse (sorry!)—it has nothing to do with improving Wikipedia except for improving Wikipedia's coverage of one topic: articles about this encyclopedia. Nothing is unfixable though, don't worry.
Generally to change a title like this we do a requested move, at WP:RM. If you look at the WikiProject's talkpage here, you can see an editor opened one of those discussions last month. Feel free to ask if there's anything you're unsure of. – 84.92.129.87 ( talk) 02:41, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion.

Tortle, WikiProjects are collaborative projects that are organized by groups of editors. You should have posted a proposal for your new WikiProject at the
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council as one of their responsibilities is to "Accept proposals or requests for new projects, and assist in their creation; or, alternately, point those making the requests to the appropriate existing projects when applicable ones already exist.
"
The original WikiProject Wikipedia has been moved back to its original title and should not have been subject to a series of moves without discussion. The pages you created have been deleted but can be restored if you discuss a proposal for a new WikiProject under a different name at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Tortle's new WikiProject and receive support for your proposal.

The original WikiProject Wikipedia has been moved back to its original title and should not have been subject to a series of moves without discussion. The pages you created have been deleted but can be restored if you discuss a proposal for a new WikiProject under a different name at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Tortle's new WikiProject and receive support for your proposal.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Template:WPW Userbox/Charter Member, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
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 removed 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. — Godsy( TALK CONT) 16:10, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
What's the main purpose in your edits to Wikipedia? I ask because there are extraordinarily many of them, and a quick look suggests that the only improvements they make are reversions of damage that you have previously inflicted. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:06, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
On this edit of yours (rapidly reverted by User:NeilN, and rightly so), see this. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:42, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Tortle, it's best not to close discussions about yourself on AN/I. Many thanks, Sarah (talk) 01:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
