Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (76.66.200.95) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome!

If Miszabot misses talk-page threads, it's usually because of malformed or missing timestamps on one of the posts. If stale threads are sticking around, check them carefully and add timestamps (or add "(UTC)" on timestamps that are missing it), and they'll be auto-archived within 24 hours. This is usually less work than doing the archiving manually. --Christopher Thomas (talk) 15:15, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-09-14T15:15:00.000Z","author":"Christopher Thomas","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Christopher_Thomas-2010-09-14T15:15:00.000Z-Archiving_talk-page_threads","replies":[]}}-->

It was declined because it already existed, but it did not exist when it was submitted. Further, the creator of the article HMS Montreal (1761) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) copied text from the AFC submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/French frigate Montréal (edit | project page | history | links | watch | logs), without attribution, clearly violating WP:Cut and paste move and WP:GFDL attribution history. And it was declined twice, because the original decliner did not replace the submission template with a decline template, instead adding a second template for decline. The original decliner being the creator of HMS Montreal (1761), seemed to disingenuously decline the article on grounds that it already existed (by creating the article, with content from the AFC submission to boot). 76.66.200.95 (talk) 13:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-09-20T13:05:00.000Z","author":"76.66.200.95","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-76.66.200.95-2010-09-20T13:05:00.000Z-Happysailor-2010-09-20T11:42:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I think the creator of HMS Montreal 1761 should have just accepted the article, and then proceed to rewrite it afterwards, as he obviously did when he created HMS Montreal, since it includes content from the AFC from its very first edit. 13:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I haven't asked for a WP:SPLICE yet because I brought this issue up at WT:AFC, since this has clear user contribution attribution issues and impacts edit history accuracy. 76.66.200.95 (talk) 13:06, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-09-20T13:06:00.000Z","author":"76.66.200.95","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-76.66.200.95-2010-09-20T13:06:00.000Z-Happysailor-2010-09-20T11:42:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Taishanese people. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page.

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I've experienced that some people who revert changes don't bother to read the edit summary when I leave one anyway, or can't understand Wikipedia terms used on them. As the edit history of most articles feature mostly blank edit summaries, it seems standard practice to not leave one. 76.66.200.95 (talk) 09:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-11T09:58:00.000Z","author":"76.66.200.95","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-76.66.200.95-2010-10-11T09:58:00.000Z-Trafford09-2010-10-11T09:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-Wackywace-2010-10-11T10:29:00.000Z-76.66.200.95-2010-10-11T09:58:00.000Z"]}}-->

That is not at all true. People who are able to revert changes using the rollback function must be experienced editors—I have never come across a reviewer who does not check the edit summary before reverting an edit. It is standard practice to use an edit summary when editing Wikipedia, since it is helpful not only for patrollers, but also to keep an accurate log of changes to an article. If your attitude is such that you cannot edit articles without leaving an edit summary because you think that nobody reads them, and most are left blank anyway (which they are not), then perhaps you should not be a Wikipedian?

I do leave edit summaries, but not always. But I have encountered many times, people reverting, or rolling back changes with edit summaries, and even talk page explainations, where they obviously haven't read them. As the policy for rollback indicates what kinds of edits are supposed to be used on with the rollback feature, I've seen that that isn't followed all that closely by some rollbackers, using it for things that a revert is supposed to be used for. 76.66.200.95 (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-11T10:38:00.000Z","author":"76.66.200.95","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-76.66.200.95-2010-10-11T10:38:00.000Z-Wackywace-2010-10-11T10:29:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Well, deletion or being renamed is fine with me. Keeping it where it is, is what I would not prefer, even were it to be merged, since should someone want to revive such an article, it should be at the properly named location, not at a badly named one, as such the edit history should be moved. If it is deleted, that would solve the problem, as there would be no redirect or edit history to preserve.
