Hello! Welcome to my

Wikipedian I am. You can access your own user page here

. All blue/purple text can be clicked for further explanation, as can the "ad" above this paragraph.

I used to let other people edit my user page; I still don't mind if people do. However, my user page has had to be protected repeatedly, and not a lot of people edited, anyways. In response to that, I created a subpage here, which is inserted with a template to the "main page". I then requested that my "main" userpage be semi-protected indefinitely.

I tend to make minor edits--reverting

WikiGnome

, as do other Wikipedians.

I believe that Wikipedia can be a valuable resource when used as a starting place for research; however, no adult or teenager should ever use it solely for research, per the general disclaimer. What I like about Wikipedia is that we're trying to educate other people, however imperfectly we may do it.

This week's backlog of the week is:

Note to the press

The Wikimedia Foundation, the English Wikipedia, and specific articles within our encyclopedia are all routinely the subject of substantial news coverage by reputable media sources. Unfortunately, the media often misunderstands how Wikipedia works, leading to mistakes and even retractions. If you stumble upon my profile while working on an article for a reputable news source, please feel free to reach out to me for clarification on any facts or just to sanity check yourself. If I can't do it, I can probably find someone who can. You can contact me by any of the means listed below. You can, alternatively, browse through the rest of my userpage to find out more about this bizarre corner of the internet.

Above paragraph blatantly copied, and pasted from TheSandDoctors' userpage, who apparently copied and pasted from a former version of BU Rob13s' userpage; brutally edited afterwards to fit my situation.

Frequently asked questions

THIS

IS AN
ENCYCLOPEDIA

One gateway to the wide garden
of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
the well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which
truth may grow in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps toward knowing
how much we do not know.

The article I wrote might get deleted!

Why did I nominate the article you created for deletion?

Probably because of either a

notability standards

, or both.

What if the article is already deleted?

If the article is already deleted, I can help you find the admin who deleted it, so you can talk about it with them.

What if it's nominated for Articles for Deletion?

If it's at

articles for deletion

, then you can state your opinion there.

What if it's nominated because I wrote about a living person without adding sources?

Add the sources, then remove the tag at the top.

What if it's nominated for a procedural deletion?

Then remove the tag at the top; however, if you do so, you might have to endure an articles for deletion discussion.

Can I remove the tag?

Unless it's a PROD or procedural deletion, then no, you can't.

Drafts

Why was my draft rejected?

Barring a technological SNAFU, you should have a rejection message explaining why your draft was rejected with links. Perhaps you should look at those links to find more information.

Can you review my draft?

Most likely, I'll choose not to review your draft if you ask this; note that I'm not

obligated

to do so, anyways.

Why did you revert my edit?

Probably because I was reverting

vandalism

. Less commonly, because I thought the edit you made wasn't constructive, but wasn't vandalistic, either. I also make mistakes; tell me if I did.

Are you a bot? Do you run one?

No and no. I use semi-automated programs, like

autowikibrowser

.

Can my account be deleted?

No. For technical and copyright reasons (Wikipedias' copyright license requires attribution), accounts can't be deleted. You can, however,

clean start

instead. You can also simply stop editing.

Are you serious? There must be a way!

No, I'm serious. There's simply no way your account will be deleted, no matter how justified.

Under what circumstances can an admin protect my talk page?

If edits are needing to be hidden by oversight or rev-deletion, and there is no other way (that is, blocking, etc.) to prevent edits from needing to be hidden in the future, you can semi-protect my talk page. Please create an unprotected subpage for IPs and non-confirmed users to talk to me; at the very least, put {{User talk protected}} at the top. Of course, make the protection as short as possible. If I need indefinite semi-protection, I'll request it explicitly; otherwise, don't semi-protect my talk page indefinitely.

I am not an admin, so under no circumstances should my talk page be fully protected.

Can I edit this userpage?

Sure you can! Click here to do so. Just don't vandalize the page.

Where can people help with Wikipedia?

This actually isn't asked very frequently, but by golly, it should be!

You can find out what to do next on most pages by clicking on "random article" and adding ?gettingStartedReturn=true to the end of the web address at the top of the screen. Another way to find out what to do next by going to the community portal, particularly the department directory and maintenance department. Another way to find out what to do is to get suggestions from suggestbot.

Once you have a few months and umpteen dozen edits under your current username, you can sign up for the

consensus

. Technically, you can do this immediately; however, the more experienced you are, the more trusted.

How do people help new users specifically?

While it's not always a good idea to spam welcome templates, if you see a redlinked talk page link attached to a registered account in a page history, you should probably give one out (I prefer {{

huggle

, you'll do the same thing; however, be careful with IPs, which may be drive-by editing and never see the welcome template. A lot of new users will click on the links in welcome templates to help themselves, and also contact you.

Also, having a talk page that's frequently archived with at least one thread left behind (I'm talking, a bare minimum, having seven day old threads archived---the more active you are in helping new users, the more you should archive), and having {{talk header preload}} at the top should both reduce the number of times new users accidentally mangle your talk page, and reduce what can be mangled.

What do you do if I "fix" a RegexTypoFix false positive?

. Vent your frustrations to me
civilly
. Revert
. Surround the "corrected" word(s) with {{not a typo}}

How do you want to be helped with harassment?

I was targeted by a sexual harassment sockpuppet who appears to be using a wide range of IPs. Checkusers are well-aware of the situation. Since The Creepster might decide to target me again, I'll leave the instructions below alone.

Admins: If you come upon pornographic imagery or a graphic request to do a sexual act, please be certain to block talk page access and emailing other users while blocking the offending editor. Oversighters and checkusers need to be alerted as well. Revision-delete the harassment.

Non-admins: Non-admins can email Checkusers at checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org, and contact oversighters at

revert the edit

.

Today's featured picture

Picea omorika, commonly known as the Pančić spruce or the Serbian spruce, is a species of coniferous tree endemic to the valley of the Drina in western Serbia, and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a total range of only about 60 hectares (150 acres) at altitudes of 800 to 1,600 metres (2,625 to 5,249 ft). The species was originally discovered near the Serbian village of Zaovine on Mount Tara in 1875, and named by the Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. It is a medium-sized evergreen tree that generally grows to a height of around 20 metres (66 ft), with a trunk diameter of up to 1 metre (3 ft). It has buff-brown shoots with dense hair coverage and needle-like leaves. Its cones are fusiform in shape and grow to a length of 4 to 7 centimetres (2 to 3 in). They are dark purple when young, maturing to dark brown, and have stiff scales. This young female P. omorika cone, with a length of 22 millimetres (0.87 in), was photographed near Keila, Estonia.
