• You might want to check out http://conduit.wikia.com/wiki/The_Conduit since you are interested in contributing to information about the series. Originally the Wikipedia was a totally different community, people filling it with everything imaginable, and many people did come here to read things they were interested in. Then the deletionists came, and have been mercilessly doing everything they can to destroy what they consider "fancruft", despite the fact that it is what most people who visit the Wikipedia actually read. When people Google for something, they find a link to the Wikipedia article, and then one to the Wiki at wikia.com appearing, and increasingly are going to the wikia.

Hi Schmeater. I noticed you created a Requests for Adminship page some time ago; I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today. Eagles 24/7 (C) 17:52, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. If you want other users to !vote on your RfA, you will have to transclude it at

WP:RFA. However, I would advise you not to run at this time. Your edit count is fairly low (only about 900 edits), and !voters will see this as lack of experience. The standards for RfA have gone dramatically up recently, and now successful candidates tend to have at least 4,000 edits. Of course, this is your decision whether to run or not, but please take my words into consideration. Thanks, Eagles 24/7 (C) 02:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply

I just want to let you know ahead of time, I respect your viewpoint and am not looking for an edit war or flame fest. I understand you're looking to improve the article and related ones, but please understand others are as well and there was already an established consensus for the format and a non-merger. We can re-establish consensus if you like, which I am happy to do, but please give time for such a discussion. You started a discussion at the video game project page, please give time for other regulars to weigh in before any further edits from the original consensus version. Normally in such consensus generating discussions the original version stands while a consensus for the desired changes is formed, since the change is what has to be discussed for consensus or no consensus. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 04:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion is already taking place at the original discussion you started at the main video game project talk page. Please keep discussions at a single location (the video game project talk page) for completion sake. What you are proposing is against the previuosly established consensus and where the article came from originally (a single unified page) years ago. So far, the current consensus is again against this. It appears you're under the misconception that there's a single entity called "Atari" when there is not, "Atari" is currently used as an abbreviation for Atari SA and it's brand. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 18:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Schmeater, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:Schmeater/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful -

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky (talk …stalk!) 07:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Schmeater/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 

Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Since I am new to editing/commenting on Wikipedia, let me preface this by saying that I hope this is the place for this comment. If it is not, I am sorry, and obviously, delete it.

First, let me say that I appreciate you starting and constantly updating the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition page. It is people like you who make wikipedia such a tremendous resource. Second, your articles would be much more effective if you focused on a few aspects of your writing.

1) Fluency: In your articles, you tend to write very short and choppy simple sentences. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with this, your writing will be much more effective and readable if you vary your sentence structure and add transitions in your writing. You can do the former by constructing meaningful complex sentences (i.e. sentences that contain a dependent clause), and you can do the latter by using a variety of words that help transition from sentence to sentence. By doing this, your reader will be more engaged, and as a result, more people will reap the benefits of your hard word and know more about the topics that you are writing about.

2) Tense: use correct tense and avoid verb construction that is unnecessarily wordy and indirect.

3) Comma Splices: In the two articles that I have read of yours, you often use a comma to join two independent clauses that are not joined by a coordinating conjunction (i.e. a comma splice). For example, the first line on your user page, "I am Schmeater, I believe that becoming...," is a comma splice. You should either replace the comma with a semi-colon or a period. If you want to keep the comma, you need to add a conjunction between the two independent clauses (e.g. I am Schmeater, and I believe...). Although this may not seem like a big deal, it does weaken your credibility as a writing because some may be turned off by poor punctuation, and it distorts the meaning of the writing.

4) FANBOYS: Another comma usage issue. Basically, if you have two independent clauses that are joined by "for, and, nor, but, or, yet, or so," you need to have a comma before one of the conjunctions (e.g. The dog ran in the park, and it ate a bone). Again, although this does not seem like a huge issue, it helps create clarity in your writing. A skilled reader will see the comma and realize that the author is starting on another thought that can stand on its own. Without the comma, the reader could think that you are making a list or something else, which will reduce the clarity of the work.

5) More Comma Usage: When you start a sentence with a prepositional phrase, you need to separate it with a comma (e.g. Without a comma, the reader...). Additionally, when you start a phrase with a dependent clause, you need to separate it by a comma (e.g. this sentence). Again, using the commas in this instance achieves two effects: 1) your writing will be clearer and 2) it will help you write more effectively by forcing you to understand when you are writing a dependent clause.

6) Fragments: Make sure that every sentence is complete and is not disconnected from the main clause. For example, in your profile, you write, "Which is now, because I find that people who are admins use their powers incorrectly and pick on us and only put in what they think is right and only a few are exceptions." In this fragment, you have no main clause. Your sentence starts with a prepositional phrase and ends with a dependent clause; you do not have a independent (main) clause to make the sentence complete.

With all of this in mind, this is how I would re-write introduction to your user page:

"I am Schmeater, and initially, I thought that becoming an administrator would cause people to distrust me on this wiki. With that in mind, I decided to become an administrator only when I thought the time was right. That time is now because I find that most people who are admins. use their powers incorrectly by picking on other wiki users and by only allowing content that they think is right to be posted. By becoming an administrator, I will take Wikipedia back to its joyous age of 2006 by being the right type of administrator and by including and allowing the right information/data in the wiki of Wikipedia."

By no means do I believe that my revision is "best," but I do believe that is is clearer and more effective at conveying your message.

If you work on these basic principles, your already phenomenal contribution to wikipedia will be significantly better. Please do not take offense to anything that I wrote, as I admire what you do and I am only attempting to improve your articles.

Hi, can you help me proofread what I wrote on List of Batman Beyond characters#Comic books and Joe Chill about the new character Jake Chill? Thank you very much.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 05:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the copy edit. Although Jake Chill's story isn't over yet, as we have to wait for the next issue, after he alter the details of his Wayne-Power uniform as his new costume and built some gadgets (he's also a genius in his own right, and obviously they are going to be lethal). You can imagine him as a Batman Beyond-version of

Lock-Up, just as Inque was to Clayface. I'm guessing that you've watched the show yourself as well. How do you feel that about writer Adam Beechen retconning what had established from Batman Beyond of Mr. Fixx as Warren McGinnis's killer to Jake Chill anyway? Even in the comics books, it is established that Jake Chill was one of the guards that Terry had fought in the second part of "Rebirth."--NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply

Hi. I'm confused by your edit to Dwayne Johnson. What is this "non-timelinic format" you speak of, and what does it have to do with re-adding 4,000 bytes of wordiness? As far as I can tell, it's in chronological order, either way. I've reverted you, but I'm willing to hear you out. You may have a point, but it's not apparent from your edit summary.

I've also reverted your paragraph break between WrestleMania XXVIII and the next Raw. This isn't as big a deal, but I think the match with Cena and Rock's reaction to it belong together. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:23, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had to revert you again. You restored a lot of poor writing. I'm not doing this to be rude, but Wikipedia has standards for English. I'll look through your edit history and redo any changes that actually benefit the article. Your one summary about the "RKO finisher" makes sense, for example. That was mainly for the benefit of readers who don't watch wrestling, but a Wikilink would probably suffice. If there's anything else, please bring it up on the Talk Page first. What you see as an error could just be something you don't understand. This may help explain how paragraphs work. You seem to have a problem with those.

Surely you can see the problem with a sentence like "The Rock would vow to leave the WWE for good, but would be attacked by Bill Goldberg, who he would go on to lose to at Backlash, which Goldberg won." Why all the "would"? What's wrong with "vowed", "was attacked" or "lost to"? Is it necessary to say Goldberg won the match Rock lost? InedibleHulk (talk) 09:38, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
