First, you are absolutely not allowed to change other peoples' comments on your talk page or any other talk page, as you did to my comments here. Refactoring is a huge no-no. Also, your comments here and here are

This diff seems to suggest that you have awarded yourself a number of barnstars, signing them as if they were contributed by other editors. Please do not do this: it creates a misleading impression, and does not advance the encylopedic mission of Wikipedia, and is potentially disruptive.

Edits like this one also create a misleading impression of your activities on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia project, not a role-playing game, and this kind of activity is disruptive. Please do not refactor any more comments on your talk page, or create any more messages purporting to be from other users.

I see you've been warned about this before, and chose to erase the warning, and turn it into a note of praise for yourself. Please do not do this again: you are likely to find yourself being blocked from editing if this behavior is repeated.

You are still completely welcome to continue to make positive contributions to Wikipedia; just please stop with the game-playing. -- The Anome (talk) 20:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

OK.

En.wikipedia is a big, complex ecosystem. Some people spend all their time fixing typos, or improving categorisation, or watching

AN/I

is half courtroom and half bar-brawl; getting tangled up in that is probably not a good step right now). If you try to take on everything at once then you'll get stressed and others will get irritated - that doesn't benefit anyone. Personally, I started out fixing vandalism, then after a few months content-building seemed less daunting so I worked on that, then (after learning a lot more written and unwritten rules) I added some work around disputes and neutrality problems.

I'm not going to say "You may only do X, not Y" but every editor's skills are better suited to (and they get more enjoyment from) some areas rather than others. Take a step back and ask yourself: What kind of work would you most enjoy here, right now? It looks like you've done some work on wrestling and other sports, so perhaps expanding sports articles would be a good thing to focus on? Alternatively, writing completely new articles is difficult at first (as you've found), but after you've learned the first few lessons it gets a lot easier. Or maybe you'd prefer to spend more time on fixing errors, or something like that? bobrayner (talk) 12:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Any thoughts? Well, whichever direction you decide to go in, this is a really good move. bobrayner (talk) 09:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jayemd, it might not be the best time for you to involve yourself in ANI threads that do not directly involve you. What would be useful is for you to respond to the ANI thread that is about you. Are you amenable to being mentored by Bobrayner? LadyofShalott 14:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd agree with that. Whether or not mentoring works out, improving articles is the best way forward, rather than getting entangled in more backroom drama. bobrayner (talk) 14:48, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

The Drahmaz Boards are not a good place to hang out! Get yourself really proficient in the nuts and bolts of editing, find your way around being an editor first. And learn all the stuff as fast as you can! (Yes, that's a challenge! I've seen how much you can learn about things that you're interested in.) Stay out of talk areas (apart from article talk and user talk) apart from "lurking". You can learn a lot by lurking; you can get hurt / upset (or snapped at) by getting involved unless the thread is about you. Pesky (talk) 14:54, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Here's a hint: Sources are your best friend.

Darnell McDonald (American football) - would you like to take the baton? bobrayner (talk

) 17:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jayemd! Just a thought; it seems that there may possibly be some query as to XFL's standing (was it major enough? kind of thing). That being the case, why not find out what those players did next? It's likely that many (if not all) would have moved on to play with a team which definitely is on the right side of the borderline, in which case you'd have no trouble with the notability thing. Just one more sentence or phrase (properly sourced!) would be enough. Example: "Player X was a defensive end in Y-club in the XFL, and then went on to play for Z-Club in [insert big-league]." That would be enough of a claim to notability to get over that little glitch. Best idea, really, is to see if you can find out a little bit more about the subject of each article, and get that included right from the start to avoid getting all those horrible bitey tags!

• When you put someting inside curly brackets, that's a
  template. Wikipedia will try to include a copy of the template in the page that you edited. For instance, if you put {{State organisation of the Ottoman Empire
  }} to an article, it adds a copy of the little box at the right to the article. The normal way to do this is called "transclusion", and each time the template is updated, subsequent viewers of the article will see the updated version. Templates are very useful for stuff which is going to be reused across many different pages. On sports pages you might see some templates which have a list of related events / teams / athletes.
• One common way to cite sources is with specialised citation templates citation template such as {{cite web}}. The curly brackets are there because it's a template, not because curly brackets are anything special to do with citations.
• So, alas, this just made a funny little red link in the references section of the article (it's a red link because there's no template called "Venis-Chyna" &c). Citing sources is a really positive step, but sadly it's easy to get some of the esoteric markup wrong on the first attempt. If you wanted to cite that match as a source, it would work a little differently. Also, please be careful about using
  primary sources. bobrayner (talk

Oh, I've already excerised all of those steps (except for the last one because it wasn't neccessary) but I'd be glad to go through this. Jayemd (talk) 17:23, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

So, just let me know when you've read those 4 pages and if you have any questions concerning them. Achowat (talk) 14:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

You idiot! You reverted the most well-known fact in history!--Modern Warfare Dude (talk) 01:54, 13 August 2012 (UTC) birds to you!

Bulcrap! What I reverted was the most smart-alecky form of Vandalism in history! Birds to you! --Modern Warfare Dude (talk) 01:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Just FYI, you make one crappy excuse for a sockpuppeteer, and what I did was save Wikipedia (once again) from your wrath! now quit acting like an annoying orange and never, ever make fun of me again! --Jay|eM|D 02:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you

I was NOT, I repeat, NOT intentionally vandalizing Wikipedia! --Jayemd (talk) 14:31, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Was just poking around ANI and noticed this subsection. Now, if this user is not in fact you, then it is an absolutely wild coincidence that you're both operating from the very same IP address. Nevertheless, I shall give you the benefit of the doubt for the purposes of giving you this piece of advice — if you're subjected to repeated vandalism or trolling,

In all seriousness, I must ask that you do not use another account to disrupt Wikipedia in such a manner again. It is considered a violation of our policies on

How did you know that this editor has the same IP as you?

I found that out the hard way when my entire IP Address was blocked temporarily, just because of him. --Jayemd (talk) 14:10, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

It looks like you're keen on antivandal work, and I'm sure you'll do it well in future. But other wikipedians don't like having their time wasted unnecessarily; that kind of thing is a shortcut to more criticism and maybe a block. bobrayner (talk) 09:15, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your edit to

Oh well. Thanks, --Jayemd (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jayemd. The page you created is up for deletion. Please understand that although people do it for a hobby, Wikipedia is serious stuff. Schoolyard games stay outside I'm afraid, because were here to build an encyclopedia. If you want want a web host, please use FaceBook, MySpace, or get yourself a blog. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:22, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I can understand where you're coming from. It was all just a fad to pass the time. --Jayemd (talk) 14:28, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Can this edit be taken to say that you agree with the deletion? Achowat (talk) 14:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Of course. --Jayemd (talk) 14:43, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Do not create "good hand-bad hand" sockpuppet accounts for the purpose of "running up the score" in antivandal work. Jayemd, Wikipedia is not a game. You don't get respect in the community by putting up "big numbers" through article creation, barnstars, or vandals reverted. And in fact this sort of thing is precisely the sort of thing that means you get zero respect. I'm willing to let this slide - once and only once. Wikipedia is the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but it is not a place to play games for one's own amusement, and

I apologize for all of this mess. I have to admit that not only am I "running up the score", Wikipedia has felt like some kind of "job" that I wake up early every morning to. Thanks, --Jayemd (talk) 01:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Lots of us feel like it's a job. The question is: Can you make it into a productive job? You have the ability to really improve some articles, fix some problems, and make a positive difference in one way or another. On the other hand, if you just want drama and point-scoring, that's likely to irritate other editors... and wasting other editors' time is a cardinal sin, because that commodity is what fuels wikipedia. bobrayner (talk) 02:28, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Also, can somebody get my IP Address unblocked... again? Jayemd (talk) 02:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

With all due respect, people your age should not be regarding anything as a job. Schoolwork is far more important. You've been told before that Wikipedia is serious stuff and if you wish to 'work' on a project that requires a level of maturity of a responsible adult, you need to take time to think about it and understand that Wikipedia is neither a game, nor FaceBook, Twitter, a web forum, or a blog.

Well, I think one minor problem is that mentoring isn't visible enough to other editors, hence Kudpung recommending another mentor; you might want to use {{mentee|bobrayner}} ... bobrayner (talk) 11:33, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

• My word, I see I've been mentioned once or twice here! I don't think I have much to add, especially since you've got a very experienced mentor already and I'm more than a little snowed under with adoption work. If there's anything I can do, then feel free to ask, I'll keep half an eye on this page in the future. Cheers! Worm^TT(talk) 12:54, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

• Sounds good. I guess we can consider this discussion dismissed. --Jayemd (talk) 14:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey, when citing sources, you should put in the http:// that comes before the links, instead of directly writing the website. For example, you type in http://www.example.com instead of just www.example.com, so people can reach the sources directly instead of copy-pasting the source. In other words, just copy the link from the address bar and paste into your edits instead. Good luck.

Hi. When you recently edited Season Ticket Football 2003, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Franchise, Interface and Amalgams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
How's it going? You seemed interested in the Counter-Vandalism Unit a little while back - did you pursue that any further? Or are you concentrating on article content? You haven't edited as much recently - if you need a hand with anything, just ask... bobrayner (talk) 08:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

I've been creating some articles like Season Ticket Basketball 2003 and Season Ticket Football 2003, though the latter has a broken infobox I don't know how to fix. --Jayemd (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Never mind, I've finally fixed that broken infobox. --Jayemd (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jayemd. I'm just letting you know that I have declined your request for additional user rights. This comes too soon after major issues with your editing. I'm sure you will understand why we can't grant you the use of any tools that need responsible editing at this time. Please consider reapplying in 6 months or so when you nave demonstrated that you have more experience, and when we receive a favourable conclusion of your mentoring and graduated from the CVU/A and seen some significant successful counter-vandalism work. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

We see that you need a little more understanding of Counter-Vandalism before you're granted Rollback. The Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy exists to help users, like yourself, understand the way to identify and handle Vandalism through one-on-one instruction. Perhaps you'd like to ask a question of our instructors, or perhaps Enroll in the Academy. Electric Catfish 13:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
