Welcome

Hola!

I see from your contributions that you have been editing for some time. But, the quality of your edits are suspect. Have you read any of the tutorials? An encyclopedia needs to have some uniformity amongst its articles to make the experience cohesive and enjoyable. Coming out with you own style and format breaks this pattern, and makes it hard for the reader to grasp what you are trying to say.

I highly recommend that you read some of the tutorials and look at some of the Wikipedia:Featured articles to get an idea of what is trying to be achieved here.

Welcome!

Hello, Sfsorrow2, and

welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions

The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass, speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me

The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dew drop of the flower, speaks to me.

The strength of fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun And the life that never goes away, they speak to me.

And my heart soars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.23.169 (talk) 21:34, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

why ? that's your job !

No, it's NOT his job, SFS, not at all. I was already coming here to tell you "please sandbox this stuff before you put it in namespace", ie. make it into an article. You post t hings without proper formatting, even categories, and quite frankly they could be legitimately deleted fairly quickly. This is an article I've been meaning to get at starting for a long time, if not having ot put out fires all over the place, in Wikipedia and elsewhere - including picking up affter you. Please start respecting other editors by not expecting them to provide citations, formats, categories and proper layout as you're supposed to do. Otherwise keep stuff like
WP:Essay - and could rightly be deleted. I'm irked because the intro as it is now doesn't have proper historical context - about the economics, the route, the geography, the rivalries between different captains and companies and the deal between Barnard and Nelson, the details of the first vessels on Harrison Lake, the Riffles etc etc etc, various explosions etc etc etc. You've put in place something that just isn't an effective timeline, and - from my view - far too perfunctory. And no, I don't have time to fix it right now, nor do I have time for the type of smart comment you made to the other editor above, nor do I have time to give you a (big) list of rading materials you should absorb before sallying forth on an article, without even caring to place "See also" within th necessary equals marks to make it a heading.....lazy, lazy, lazy, and now rude. Look, do me a big favour and DON'T start on the Kamloops and Shuswap one, OK/ I've been picking up far too many unneeded taskss around Wikipedia, including ones you've launched (deliberatlye for others to fix), to have time to do it. And I want to do it properly. And when the time comes I'll probably rewrite this whole thing entire; uncited and unformed, it shouldn't have been published. Keep stuff in the sandbox until you've learned enough to play with others to make it work, before expecting them to clean articles up for you because you can't be bothered....Skookum1 (talk) 06:03, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply

Regarding Volga Steamers, and other contributions

Hello Sfsorrow2 --

I understand that you are frustrated regarding my recent nomination to delete the

WP:V, and let me know if you have any questions about them. Best wishes. ~ Mesoderm (talk) 03:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply
]

Sfsorrow2 -- It seems that you know quite a bit about steam boats, and I'm sure you have a lot to contribute to Wikipedia. Please try to calm down and understand where I am coming from. Anyone can edit Wikipedia. Most people (like yourself) are interested in including factually correct information. Some people are not. To deal with those people that are not, we require that everyone
original research here. I would love to see your wealth of knowledge on steamboats be used to improve Wikipedia, but it must be done in the right way. I would love to help you do this. But I need you to work with me, instead of getting angry at me. Please take a look at the pages I've linked to here, and then come to my page if you have any questions or comments about it. I really don't have anything against you, and can tell that you know a lot about the subject, but you just need some work on how you include the information here. Cheers. ~ Mesoderm (talk) 04:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply
]
By the way, if you want to see an example of how an article on steamboats could be written that adheres to the policies I'm talking about, take a look at
WP:NOTABLE, and that the statements in the article each cite one of these sources. Do you see how this is different from your Volga River Steamers article? (If not, I don't mind explaining it to you further). ~ Mesoderm (talk) 06:01, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

Istanbul ferries

By now you should know not to leave an article in the state you left it. Go back and add some specifics and some references. Presumably you have a source available, so use it. Perhaps you may have written the article to support the photograph, but it really does need some expansion. I advise you to fix the problem before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.

If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page. DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
