Consensus

Hello!

Thank you for responding to my semi-protected request. I posted a comment in the Calliou talk section seeking a consensus. Is there something else I should do? The fact that there was not any talk previously on the page makes me think it gets low traffic and a consensus may be hard to achieve. Then again, I am new to the world of edits, so maybe I will be surprised (or am going about it wrong in the first place).

Thanks! - Jamie

Hi, you are right, sometimes consensus can be hard to get. You can likely ask some more experienced editors for their thoughts at The Teahouse - But the best place to ask for some input would definitely be WP:TV - Wikiproject TV is maintained by a lot of editors interested in TV, and I know they would be happy to help. --allthefoxes (Talk) 18:13, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Is this not worth suggesting?

Hey there. I just wanted a second opinion on this[1] suggestion that I made at WP:VPP. I saw that is has already been suggested, and failed before, and has become a perennial policy change suggestion. So I was just wondering if it is I am wasting my time suggesting this to WP:VPP. Cheers. Boomer Vial (talk) 02:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey Allthefoxes

just wanted you to know that I have just replace the CSD tags you placed on article Comix_VJ after @Thatsmyvibe: who was the creator removed them. I have seen edits since the removal of the CSD tags, but non that would suggest he/her is fixing the issues. I have also left a message for user:Thatsmyvibe explaining that as the creator he/her can not remove the CSD tags. Best Regards.Hot Pork Pie (talk) 20:13, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

WIAA Edit

You say you took down my edit because it "did not appear constructive" Neither is the WIAA. Cpohlman1979 (talk) 20:53, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Unsectioned content

You took down my updates because you say I need a reliable source. The page is about me and it needs to be updated! I am a reliable source. How do I reference my accomplishments and other vital things that need to be listed on this information page. I would think that the idea of this is to learn about all of the aspects of the persons career. Not ones that are only headlines. Please help me understand how I am to update my own page.

Hi Troy! Everything on Wikipedia must be sourced, especially on biographies of living people! So we have a few issues. you say you are Troy, but I have no way to verify that and cannot verify that. For all I know, you could be anyone. Just because you have the same username, it doesn't mean you are actually that person, so we can't take your word on it. Therefore, we need the additions to be sourced. Have your achivements been written about in a notable newspaper, magazine, things like that? In addition, if you are Troy, you have a very large conflict of interest. Instead of making the edits yourself, you can ask another editor to do so by making an edit request. --allthefoxes (Talk) 21:59, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Posting on Neutral board.

Bible Cosmology[edit] The bible seems to be held in contempt by at least one editor here, Allthefoxes, who undoes editing which corrects huge errors in a section in Cosmology which deals with biblical cosmology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology

Allthefoxes casts a darkness upon Wikipedia which renders it unreliable in any topic.

Also, Wikipedia is just too difficult and time consuming to edit, especially with editors like Allthefoxes who is intent on destroying information.72.253.70.70 (talk) 22:41, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Alohascope

Sigmabaroda

Hi, I'm not sure what is going on but Sigmabaroda seems to be asking for admin help. You've advised them to wait for an uninvolved admin to turn up but seem to have marked the adminhelp template as resolved, which means that the likelihood of one turning up is very slim unless Sigmabaroda completes the unblock request. Have you made that clear to them? It is all getting very messy. - Sitush (talk) 04:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: - The admin help template is still open, I have closed the {{help me}} templates, as they are not relevant, and a nonadmin cannot assist him. --allthefoxes (Talk) 04:33, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

INSEADGrad (talk) 11:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC) Hi @Allthefoxes

Happy new year! I edited the INSEAD page and included some facts /statistics on INSEAD. They are objective, factual and non-emotional. I felt disappointed that you removed those facts. May I know why? Thanks a lot @INSEADGrad

INSEAD edit - references added

INSEADGrad (talk) 12:03, 14 January 2016 (UTC) Hi @Allthefoxes I have now added all the necessary references and re-submitted. The inclusion is purely objective, factual, non-emotional and non-promotional. I will appreciate if you please review, approve and publish.

Thanks @INSEADGrad

Hi @INSEADGrad: - I had to revert your edits again. The edits violated our NPOV policy, as well as being formatted incorrectly. some WP:PEACOCK words were used as well. Since you have a conflict of interest, you should not be editing the page. Instead, suggest your edits on the articles talk page. --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:46, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

CHKN Retrieval

Hello!

I had started a new article for a game called CHKN yesterday. At the time, I had only a few lines of text as a simple, temporary placeholder that I got from their site. I then had to go to the movies, and left only that text. I did read more through the guidelines, and understood exactly why it was deleted. However, I would like to rewrite it, as I do have sources, and I can understand how the original sounds promotional. I do apologize.

NPOV?

INSEADGrad (talk) 19:48, 14 January 2016 (UTC) HI @Allthefoxes

I read your NPOV policy and I have no idea why you said that I am violating the NPOV policy? And why would I have "conflict of interest"? I graduated from the school 2 year ago and all I am doing here is adding some facts regarding 1) How many Fortune 500 CEOs come from this school? (which is a FT report) and 2) How much venture capital funding the alumni raised in the last 5 years? These are numbers - publicly proven. There is not a single subjective statement. So could you explain your statement? Thanks @INSEADGrad

Hi INSEADGrad. First of all, you have a conflict of interest since you attended the school. You may have a less than neutral view. As for NPOV, something like "and the secretive but highly influential Renaissance Club." is absolutely a violation of this. Highly influential? Secretive? This is also an unsourced claim. Another example, "INSEAD comes only second to Harvard Business School in terms of number of MBA alumni "". "comes only second" is a bit weasly and puffery, and would not be neutral. I highly suggest that instead of editing the page yourself, you open a edit request. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Removal of controversial paragraph from BLP Ariel Fernandez

@Allthefoxes:: As you have rightly noted, the last paragraph in Career section of this BLP needs to be removed due to lack of consensus. In addition the paragraph violates Wikipedia policy for the following reasons: a) The years-old challenges to research papers (expressions of concern) is not proven to be a notable topic and there is no valid secondary source that would justify their inclusion. All papers by Ariel Fernandez remain perfectly valid unless someone proves that they contain invalid data. There has never been evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of Fernandez or his group that would invalidate any of his papers or lead to retraction. b) Inclusion of a paragraph derogatory to a subject of a BLP requires extensive consensus. This was never reached. c) The use of self published sources like the self-published blog Retraction Watch is strictly forbidden by Wikipedia policy on BLPs as per BLP:SPS. This blog is evidently self-published because it is published by A Marcus and I Oransky, who also contribute to the blog, claiming to be retraction experts. d) The person who spearheaded this deprecation has a COI with the subject as extensively discussed in the Talk page and archives. e) The proposal to include the derogatory paragraph has been rejected 4 (FOUR) times already as noted in TALK page. Thanks much for your attention. S&T Natl Res Council.201.254.123.189 (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Nathaniel Willemse edit

Hi!

You've reverted my edit on Nathaniel Willemse's year of birth, and while I admit that I am not 100% sure on whether he was born in 1984 or 1985, he is most definitely not born in 1995 as that would have made him 11 years old when he auditioned for the fourth season of Australian Idol (way too young to be applicable) and also, in his 2012 X Factor (Australia) run, he's 26/27 years old, making it into the "over-25s" category.

Although the edit is not very constructive, as you've stated, I still think it would not be appropriate to have the year of birth off by 10 or so years.

This is my first time editing on Wikipedia, so if I'm not following any guidelines, that's understandable, but it would be great if you could find a way to list the correct year of birth, regardless.

Zenzenhoang (talk) 12:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Zenzenhoang: - Your edit was correct, feel free to make it again. My revert was simply a reaction based on the fact that you changed a date without a source, and I had not seen the date changed recently. If you can just find anything that states his age or birth year, and source that in the article, that would be great! --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:11, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
I've edited the birth year, but other than clips found from YouTube that state his age, I cannot find any official records or sources of his year of birth. Zenzenhoang (talk) 08:01, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Corrected the British media entries that Wikipedia erroneously calls American media entries.

I corrected the entry for British show entitled "The L-Word". Entry erroneously calls the series an American production produced and filmed in America, when in reality it is a British series produced and filmed in Britain ( UK ) and sometimes having used stock shots that were filmed in Canada. Wikipedia monitor changed my corrections back to the erroneous version that I corrected. I think it would be best for an Encyclopedia to offer truthful constructive information instead of misleading unconstructive information and that my corrected entry information should be restored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.21.121.241 (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I recently added cited articles from 21 year old Road & Track magazine articles on the 1994-1997 Honda Accord SiR along with two external links listing the short history on Honda Accord with H22A DOHC VTEC engine. The F20b DOHC VTEC engine is incorrect because that engine goes into 1997-2001 Honda Accord SiR-T.  The cited articles would provide good reference for anybody who wanted to do their own research on the 1994-1997 Honda Accord SiR

geri lynch tomich

not sure how to reply to you on the same page. I just hope you are not trying to discriminate against women, because this is women sport; and I hope you are not trying to discriminate against synchronized ice figure skating as a relatively new discipline (50 years old, but Wikipedia has no stories on it).

If you googled Mrs Tomich name or just read what I wrote about her, you see that world's leading media turn to her for opinion on this sport. SHE WON SEVERAL US CHAMPIONSHIPS AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS which the link provided show (http://synchroettes.com/aboutus/competitive-history/ the club is part of the New jersey government program, the website is official source) but you didn;t click on the link, you questioned it without even looking. All of your remarks is of the same nature - you didn;t look, you didn;t read you just rejected. And that is alarming, that is what makes me think about possible discrimination. Calling to you yet again to reconsider your approach.

Hey again, you can reply on the other page just like you did here, you also do not need to make a new section, you can simply put a :in front of some text on a new line after my text to reply. This is not any kind of discrimination, and I don't particularly care if this person were a male, female, both, or anything else in between, I do care about our policies and guidelines! I did read the article, and I did google this person, and I do believe they may be notable enough to be on Wikipedia, but the article you wrote is not appropriate. I am not saying the person should not have a Wikipedia article, but I am saying that the Wikipedia article that you wrote is not up to snuff on our guidelines, and that following the WP:YFA process could help a lot with this. --allthefoxes (Talk) 04:58, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Dutch profanity

Hi Allthefoxes,

I saw you deleted the additions I made to article "Dutch Profanity. so i wanted to discuss them with you a little further.

- about the high court case about the word "mierenneuker". i have a source reference for that which i will add. - the placement of "kutwijf" under "Profanity related to illness and disability" is wrong. the dutch "kut" is in no way related to an illness or disability, it's an profane word for vagina. as already stated in the article. and therefor it should be categorized under "Profanity related to sexuality, the human body, and animals" - the change of the word "cancer kut" to "cancer cunt" in the translation of the acronym "KK" is because in the translation the word "kut" is wrongly placed since it's not an english word. the original author probably meant to put the word "cunt" there.

the other changes i made were based on my own experiences living in the Netherlands and my own use of the dutch language. which seems to be the basis for a large part of this article. i could maybe rephrase a bit to underline that the current rises in the use of the word are mainly in youth culture.

do you think this would be enough to validate my changes so i can put them back?

i'd like to hear your opinion.

Andy "Stoker" Growcott

Not sure how to go about adding a citation since I am: Andy "Stoker" Growcott Fabdickson Is my user name And also our common name For Dexys Midnight Runners — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabdickson (talk • contribs) 20:38, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia! On the internet, nobody knows you are a dog! Basically, what this means is that I can't just take your word for it. Any changes you want to make will need to be published in a reliable source, like a newspaper article, or news article. If there is no reliable source, then the changes should not be made. In addition, since you are the person, you may have a conflict of interest, which could be a problem. If you are Mr. Growcott, take it to the media, and once the media have talked about it, then it can go on Wikipedia --allthefoxes (Talk) 20:41, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Lowell Latin Lyceum

Hi, Allthefoxes. I've taken your advice (although I accidentally did it while not logged on) and added a link to Lowell High School's page for the Lyceum. I'm a member of the Lowell Latin Lyceum's Parents Association and we've been struggling for a couple of weeks to get information about the school up on Wikipedia in a manner that doesn't get it removed. We've finally resorted to going back to the text of the first entry that no one seemed to mind. Hopefully it will stick. Thanks Wikifaulkner (talk) 22:13, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there @Wikifaulkner:, and sorry for the trouble. The issue with what you added is not only the source, but the tone overall, and the fact that Wikipedia in general does not take sections on idividual programs. For a school, it's best to simply provide an overview, while still staying in WP:NPOV guidelines. Wikipedia can be rough, but this is a collaborative project, you can always ask other editors for help on the article's talk page. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

TDT and TDR Soil Moisture Probes

Hi sorry about not adding citations. I have never edited an entry before. I have found out the hard way that there is a huge difference in the accuracy of soil moisture probes so I thought I would share that. I have found a Journal of Hydrology paper that explains the accuracy of TDR and TDT probes so I will try again and add that. I also found the patent reference for the integrated Acclima TDT and TDR probes so anyone who says they make an integrated TDR or TDT probe is either lying or they have infringed the patent. I spoke to Acclima and they have tested many probes that claim to be time domain probes but they are definitely not which really messes up people trying to get accurate soil moisture readings but I guess I am not permitted to say that? Harvestnz (talk) 22:46, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey @Harvestnz:- and thanks for contacting me. I will be honest I do not know much about soil moisture probes. However, just as a side note, I would just make sure that anything you add should be sourced, as well as following our WP:NPOV guidelines. If you are interested in talking about this with people who know the subject well, please leave a message on the article's talk page, just like you did here. --allthefoxes (Talk) 03:13, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I tried to add a citation but it doesn't work. How do I add this link J.M. Blonquist Jr. et al. / Journal of Hydrology 314 (2005) 235–245 Harvestnz (talk) 08:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

You would want to use Template:Cite journal. If that is a bit confusing, you can simply leave the reference on the talk page of the article so a more experienced editor can look at it. --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion - NPlot

Hi, you have nominated the article on NPlot for speedy deletion. The reason stated indicates misunderstanding of the subject (refer to the Talk page; - update - didn't even manage to write anything on the Talk page because the article was deleted before I could do anything). Can you please revert the action so that the article is available for improvement. Thanks, Ajgorhoe (talk) 11:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Now that it has been deleted, it is out of my hand. You can re-create the article. However, the article very clearly did not meet WP:N amd WP:GNG. You will need to provide adequate sourcing that shows the subjects notability. Just because some software exists, doesn't outright make it ready for a Wikipedia article. If you would like time to work on the article, consider keeping it in your sandbox or the draft space. Thanks --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Monstercat

Article clearly does meet a11 for promoting an entity with no encyclopaedic importance. Also the article was created by the founder of said entity. Eck (talk) 03:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

@Eckstasy: I'm sorry? You must be misunderstanding what A11 means. The sources do show enough notability, and A11 is definitely not valid. Just because an article was started by a COI editor, doesn't mean it should be deleted. If you think it needs deletion, the appropriate place is AfD. --allthefoxes (Talk) 04:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
@Allthefoxes: Please see WP:SOAP section 4, 5. The article is clearly written as an advertisement. It's most probably an a7 and not an a11, my apologies. Eck (talk) 08:19, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
@Eckstasy: - Well, if that is what you believe, then you could AfD it. But speedy won't work here as more than a few editors would object to it. No worries on the a7/a11 mixup, stuff happens. Thanks. --allthefoxes (Talk) 17:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Uechi Groups

I am asking for your assistance in this recent issue on the Uechi Ryu page of "major organizations". I have been a contributor to this page since its start. Then suddenly my association and my credentials are called into question by a person at IP address 98.227.140.14 that I have tried to have a discussion on this matter with. I would like to state that first off, I am indeed a "subject matter expert" in Uechi Ryu. I am one of less then a handful of practitioner that have ever spent 10 years or more training in Okinawa with just about all the senior instructors of Uechi Ryu. The distasteful and disrespectful comments like(from IP 98.227.140.14 stated "wrestling with pigs") must stop and corrective action taken.

This is one of the reasons I quit the "politic scene" non-scene here in North America. As I stated, I believe clearly, a web page or a newsletter does not justifies an association. I feel this is some type of personal attack, which again I ask for it to stop. I do not believe the person making these false accusation and remarks is a subject matter expert at all, nor is he the "Wiki Uechi Web Police".

I formed my group to forget childish infighting that is seen in matters like this. This person in one of his responses to "murph6000" states that other "associations" listed are indeed are only one person, this I question. (Some of the other "Major Organizations" are not that "major"--but they have more than one person! There are a few that are not on the list because they still think it is 1987) Furthermore this person stated (Checking the page I see a "Power That Be" has reverted his edits which means "gentlemen skilled in this work" know what is going on. I am sure if the individual has the evidence he will present it.) Again I would call both of these individuals into question on thier credentials and standing in the Uechi community, as well as being " subject matter expert" I have provided the information asked for, I am well know within the Uechi community and have indeed given openly fellow teacher that can be asked, as well as members of my group. Lastly members of my Ohio dojo may be seen on "youtube" listed under Uechi Ryu Ohio. I hope this matter is closed and my group be re-added to the page.

Thank You

Un-sectioned content

Hi, Pamela Marshall is disgusted that this page is deleted. She alone was the writer of the text on St Josephs website which she allowed them to use, therefore it was HER text copyrighted and used with her permission on their website. Denis Parsons was her partner and she was paying me to create the page for her deceased partner using HER text. I want the deleted page re-instated so that it continue to be worked on. I have already contacted the previous moderator on here about the text. To re-iterate, Pamela Marshall is the copyright owner of the text used on St Joseph's website with her permission, therefore it should NOT be deleted from here. I shall ask Pamela Marshall to contact them to advise you it is HER text. But I don't want to have to recreate the page again from scratch with all the references so please re-instate it.

Your speedy tags on Guoping Feng

Hi Allthefoxes -- I've declined the speedy on Guoping Feng. The article was not blank and a named professorship at a major university such as MIT is usually taken as predicting that the person will fulfill WP:PROF. If you are unsure, putting the name into Google Scholar is a good quick check. In most research areas, a few papers with over 100 citations (Feng has two over a thousand) is enough to make it worth investigating further rather than suggesting deletion.

non constructive edit

Allthefoxes, I feel your assessment of edit as non constructive to be in error. Since the AI Season 15 page is about the show and ultimately the artists, I feel that the resource of a link to the artist's page is not only constructive to the wiki reader, but something a wiki reader would really like quickly available. They wouldn't have to click.

Gucci Mane Edit

Hi! I just checked up on my second ever wikipedia edit i made on February 5, and noticed that you asked me for a better source, and then, presumably after I didn't respond, tagged my edit request as possible spam. I was suggesting making the correction that Wasted first appeared on guccimania, released 29 April 2009, not on writing on the wall, released may 2014.

I knew this was true because back then I was a diehard fan, and would download gucci's mixtapes as soon as they came out. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard wasted, because I knew it was gonna become a classic. I was in my kitchen, and had just downloaded the mixtape for my road trip up to Philly the next day.

To give a source for the edit, I just went with the first website I found.

I downloaded the mixtape from datpiff.com. However, datpiff no longer has guccimania on it. I had trouble finding any source more credible that the one I gave.

HOWEVER there is this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG4S3hzHqx4&list=PL0266A1ADB83B18C6

The title of the video is "the empire & gucci mane - 02 Wasted - Guccimania" The Audio is the track "Wasted", the video is an image of the cover art for Guccimania, and it was UPLOADED ON APRIL 29, 2009

Writing on the wall was released May 2009 [1] [2] [3]

So while this isn't directly a good source for the exact date of Guccimania's release, it does prove that Wasted was not originally from Writing on the Wall, as the track had been uploaded to youtube before Writing on the Wall was released.

Please accept this as a source

Hello again, I am contacting you again to advise that I'm recreating a new page for Denis Alva Parsons on behalf of Pamela Marshall, who was the late Denis Parsons partner.

The webmaster for the St Joseph's site has put a statement on that page releasing the copyright of the text which does belong to Pamela Marshall who I am building this article for, as she is not computer literate.

Why is inaccurate language "better" for legal issues?

So... I received this from you: Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! --allthefoxes (Talk) 05:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

So we're clear, on the "Sanctuary Cities" topic, the term "undocumented immigrants" was used without exception to refer to illegal aliens. This is a topic that concerns law - can you tell me where in American law the words "undocumented immigrants" is used to refer to illegal aliens? I spent a couple of decades in policing, and to the best of my knowledge "undocumented immigrants" does not exist in law. You may correct me if I am wrong, of course, but you can start your search at: 8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien: (a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

So, the law refers to them as aliens - not immigrants as you appear to refer. They are not even remotely the same thing. The entry is illegal - the law states they have committed an crime because of that improper entry, for which they are liable for imprisonment on the first offense to six months in jail, and for subsequent offences 2 years in jail. I have arrested and charged these people; so far, I have yet to be sued or disciplined for false arrest, which would most certainly be the case if they had in fact been lawful immigrants.

I have diligently searched the applicable U.S. Code. Nowhere can I find the term "undocumented immigrant" - which kind of makes sense, because that term certainly doesn't give the slightest suggestion that the entry was illegal, they are criminals because of that, and it is not a case of an oversight in documentation. I have some knowledge of this: my wife came to this country as a resident alien, with one type of visa before our marriage, a second type of visa after our marriage, and ultimately, citizenship after she met the requirements for that. At no time was she referred to as a "documented immigrant" in any of the forms and visas we dealt with.

Given the above, perhaps you can tell me why your changing the text back to the misleading term "undocumented immigrants" for criminal aliens who are NOT immigrants and are here illegally is "better" for the article? It certainly doesn't improve the accuracy of the article, does it now? 50.68.98.27 (talk) 08:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, this is regarding an edit review request placed on Raheja Developers talk page. Earlier you reviewed the edit and said that a consensus hasn't been established. However, no counter arguments have been raised since then. Sometime later I went ahead and posted a discussion on reliable sources - noticeboard to raise issue about reliability of some citations used in the page. User:Sitush agreed that rather than having the mentioned citations we should use their replacements. I request you kindly review the edit once again as I do not think anyone has objection with those.

Not entirely true re: RSN. And you forget to mention the discussion a few days earlier at WP:COIN regarding your various edits and indeed those of people who seemed very keen to swing the article in a manner directly opposite to that which you had been attempting. You've declared your conflict of interest but that doesn't give you carte blanche. I think you should walk away from that article rather than try to find a proxy to justify your payment. - Sitush (talk) 21:48, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey there. Currently I am letting another editor take a look before I make any kind of call. Thank you. --allthefoxes (Talk) 23:17, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Two questions

Hey Allthefoxes. I want to ask you two things.

1. How do I get that CSD user box which you have on your user page which keeps track of how many pages you've nominated for a speedy and how many were successfully deleted?

2. I noticed you had a CSD log when I typed in your user page, and I enabled this in my TW preferences however for some reason it still hasn't appeared. For you, did it take a while for the log to first appear?

I just wanted to find a way of keeping track of how many articles I've tagged for speedy. I won't be tagging much more articles soon as I'll be requesting for a three month block to prepare from exams from March 1, but it would be very useful to keep track of this. Thanks!

@Class455fan1: 1. The box is custom, not automatic. I simply update it manually, have a small text file on my computer
2. Nope, worked right away for me. Not sure what that issue could be. --allthefoxes (Talk) 23:16, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey Allthefoxes. I could make a text file of how many CSD's I do, but I have a Mac, so I'm not sure how to do it, and the CSD log appeared after I nominated a page for CSD. Bit of a bummer considering it had only the one I had just marked for CSD, but should have done it earlier! Class455fan1 (talk) 01:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
@Class455fan1: - Just use the Text edit application on your Mac. You can see the code for the userbox in the source of my userpage. --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:50, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
