2015 Colorado Springs shooting has been nominated for Did You Know

On my Sandbox

Hello Seagull123 I hope I am writing you on the right page, Please I have restarted the Ken Giami article on my sandbox and I would like you to take a look at it to see if I am on the right track Thank you for all your help so farBomabenjy2 (talk) 15:31, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

@Bomabenjy: Yeah, this is the right place to ask me a question. In regards to the Ken Giami page on your sandbox, it's definitely better than before as it explains more clearly why this man is notable. If I were you, I would still spend a bit of time going through the article though; adding references further explaining his notability, a bit of a copyedit and making sure it complies to the manual of style. After this, I think you might be ready to submit the article for review. Then another editor will come along and see whether it is ready to be published. Hopefully this helped.  Seagull123  Φ  18:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Draft 'Sailor on the Seas of Fate'

Hi Seagull123, thanks for the feedback. There should only be one draft article in question. Based my draft article (on the 2nd book in the Elric series) on the existing published article (on the 1st book in the Elric series). Content could definitely be expanded on and citations found but problem has been finding enough of the reliable sources. So I guess I will shelve the article until its notability improves. Obvsly, put the 'help request' in wrong place too. Soz. Ah, well, you live & learn. Thanks for helping out anyway. Appreciated.

@Stinglehammer: Don't apologise! You've done nothing wrong! As for sources, don't worry, maybe try asking for help at the reference desk to see if they can find some. You could also try asking the people at WikiProject Novels, they may also be able to help with the referencing problems. You could also look at the sidebar to the right for some links to search for sources (I know that legal journals may not be the best place to find sources for this book, but the other links may be useful) or the links below (starting with "Find sources"). I hope you'll be able to find some help there, if not, visit the Questions page where you'll be able to find somewhere else to ask questions.
Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. Hopefully this helped. Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  18:52, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
@Stinglehammer: Also, I see that you enjoy travelling and have been to many places around the world. Have you considered popping over to Wikipedia's sister project, Wikivoyage. There, we write travel guides, phrasebooks and travel topics for travellers, with the aim of creating a free, complete, up-to-date and reliable worldwide travel guide. We'd love it if you could come and help with the travel guides there. I know this is quite a strange request, and can understand if you don't want to do this, but if you do, first visit Welcome, Wikipedians! where you can learn about the differences between here and there, and then, plunge forward and get editing! If you do visit Wikivoyage though, please let me know at my talk page there (you already have an account there - see here). Thanks!  Seagull123  Φ  19:12, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Admin for an editathon?

Hi Seagull123,

I am looking to see if I can find a friendly admin to assist with a Wikipedia editathon I am hosting next week (Tuesday to Thursday). As you have been thoroughly decent in our dealings, I thought of you first.

However, having looked at your userpage, am I to understand that you're not an admin? If so, would you be able to suggest someone to help 'admin' my event?

Cheers Stinglehammer (talk) 19:17, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Stinglehammer: no, you are right, I am not an admin. In regards to whether I could suggest anyone to help, no one immediately springs to mind. I would suggest maybe trying to ask with an {{admin help}} template? Or maybe ask at the administrator's noticeboard? Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope your editathon goes well!  Seagull123  Φ  23:04, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism of your user page

Hi Seagull123, I just wanted to let you know that another user, Opinion polling for the United Kingdom European Union referendum, blanked the content of your userpage. I reverted this blanking, and it appears that this user has now been blocked indefinitely for sock-puppetry. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 22:01, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

@LoudLizard: Thank you! I got notified about that user blanking my talk page, but not my user page, strange isn't it? Anyway, thanks again!  Seagull123  Φ  22:03, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Yes, that does seem strange! No worries. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 22:04, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm SwisterTwister. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Mitchell Taintor, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. SwisterTwister talk 18:49, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi @SwisterTwister: thanks for letting me know! Forgive my ignorance, but I have one question, what is "unreviewing" exactly? Thank you!  Seagull123  Φ  18:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Ah, this happened because we clicked reviewed for an article at the exact same moment. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 18:56, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Oh, OK. Thank you @SwisterTwister:!  Seagull123  Φ  19:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I am just a fan

Hi Seagull123

I am just a fan trying to create an informational page for a band I love, Jakubi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakubi (band) (talk • contribs) 22:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Jakubi (band): thank you for your efforts to create Wikipedia articles! The reason that I (and other editors could have) presumed that there was a COI is because of your username, Jakubi (band) - this gives the impression that the actual person using your account is the band itself. Please also be aware that usernames like yours may not be allowed under Wikipedia's username policy, see WP:GROUPNAME and WP:ISU; usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a company, group, institution or product (e.g. TownvilleWidgets, MyWidgetsUSA.com, TrammelMuseumofArt) and/or usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted. It may be best to request that your username is changed. If you want to create more articles in the future (which I hope you do), I would suggest using the Article Wizard - here you will be guided on how to write a good article and it will be reviewed by a more experienced editor before being published. Also, a good page on writing an article is Your First Article. Just remember that, regardless, Wikipedia articles should be notable and verifiable (an article can't exist just because it "needs to exist"). Hopefully this helped, if it didn't - then visit the Teahouse for more help. Thanks!  Seagull123  Φ  22:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Response to edit of Chris Mattmann page

Hi Seagull123 thanks for your comments. I was the subject of the page, yes, sorry about that. I just added a few links but didn't materially contribute to the text. I'll let others edit it more. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrismattmann (talk • contribs) 14:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

@Chrismattmann: Thanks for your reply. It's great that you understand that it's generally best not to edit an article about yourself, but don't feel like you're not welcome at Wikipedia - you are! If you want to make small, uncontroversial edits to the article (correcting typos, grammar, spelling, minor corrections - referenced of course), that should be fine; but major, possibly controversial edits should probably be proposed at the article's talk page first. If you feel like the article is incorrect, then find some reliable sources and describe at the talk page how it is wrong, and how you think it should be improved. If you want something else to do on Wikipedia, then look at the Help out section of the community portal for a list of different articles that need to be improved. Again, thanks for all your work!  Seagull123  Φ  19:33, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

References asked in lists of isomers.

hi,

While making the lists of isomers available to the Dutch Wikipedia, I noticed you thought it needs references. Although no references, except for a link to a website, are added to this lemmas, asking for them to me is a question in the same category as asking for the number which will follow seven or the position of the sun on a bright clear summer day. Of course, one is allowed to add a list of maths books used to teach 5 and 6 year old children to count to prove the correct number will be eight, or to damage ones eyes by looking for the sun to be able to point in the correct direction. To me the list of isomers are a simple consequence of the rules described in the introductory chapter of organic chemistry in each and every basic secondary school book on chemistry. Each chemist knows them by heart. If one doesn't believe the sky is blue on midday in the absence of clouds, I will write it down on a sheet of paper, but at the same time I'll ask Thomas to invite you to his club.

To put the above briefly: to me you ask to much security. T.vanschaik (talk) 00:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi @T.vanschaik: I believe you are saying that I shouldn't have added the {{refimprove}} template to the page, List of isomers of tridecane; perhaps you were right - maybe I was wrong in adding the template to this page. If you believe the tag should be removed, please be bold and remove it, while explaining why you did so in your edit summary. But if you look at the list of isomers of another alkane, List of isomers of dodecane, there are 4 inline citations listed at the bottom of the page - so I presume (I could be wrong) that there are more sources for this available. I hope this hasn't prevented you from making the Dutch version of the list though. By the way, is your comment about Thomas the Apostle a reference to Doubting Thomas? On English Wikipedia, the verifiability policy is very important, so it is important everything is sourced on this site. I hope this has helped you, if not, feel free to ask me another question. Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  23:20, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
