Ask questions and get help from experienced editors.

The Task Center
Learn what Wikipedians do and discover how to help.

Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Bsoyka (talk) 22:05, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi ClydeFranklin. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 18:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Your signature

Hi, ClydeFranklin. Nice seeing you around RfD lately. However, I couldn't help but notice that your signature currently goes against WP:SIGAPP by having overly light colors, which makes it difficult to parse for editors with poor vision. That includes me, so that "couldn't help but notice" isn't a figure of speech here. Your signature is currently
<small>[[User:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#CEF2F2">CLYDE</span>]][[User talk:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#F2CEF2">FRANKLIN</span>]]</small>
Two options are:

  1. Add a background color of #5E5E5E or darker (and there's ways to make it rounded at the edges, add more padding, etc., if you'd like):
    <small style="background:#5E5E5E">[[User:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#CEF2F2">CLYDE</span>]][[User talk:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#F2CEF2">FRANKLIN</span>]]</small>
    CLYDEFRANKLIN
  2. Change the colors to #218383 or darker and #C431C4 or darker:
    <small>[[User:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#218383">CLYDE</span>]][[User talk:ClydeFranklin|<span style="color:#C431C4">FRANKLIN</span>]]</small>
    CLYDEFRANKLIN

Or you could try some combination with the two. I recommend opening up https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ and just moving the sliders around. That's how I recently changed from #FF1492 in my signature (HTML deeppink, something I'd used since 2012) to a more accessible #E6007A.

Thanks, and all the best. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:37, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

@Tamzin, thank you for pointing this out! As you recommended, I changed the colors of it to darker ones that are easier to see. CLYDEFRANKLIN 22:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Donna Pokere-Phillips

Hello

I appreciate your consideration re: mediating the Wikipedia page for Donna Pokere-Phillips, but there are actually accredited, and publicly reviewed media accounts of what I have included on the page, they are both factual and objective, and are confirmed by the subjects own social media posts over the past 3-4 months.

There are literally dozens of screen caps of Pokere-Phillips supporting Covid disinformation activists or posting her own alarmist content both in Aotearoa and other pacific locations.

Brian Tamaki was involved with a particularly disruptive, and later violent, antivax rally in Wellington, NZ which equally promoted other far-right, populist false claims. The activists eventually damaged govt and public property, and Sue Gray has long been discredited for promoting fraudulent, or incorrect, claims in the name of bogus "rights activism" against the NZ Dept of Conservation 1080 pest control program. Also, has promoted disinformation about 5G networks, and promoted vaccine fake news on a considerable scale.

There are dozens of accredited items listing these facts - this is in no way a 'biased edit' of the page, they are simply facts by dint of association or personal claims the individual themselves has made consistently.

Please restore my original comment, as put previously:


Pokere-Phillips has continually supported far-right populist movements or disinformation campaigns throughout Aotearoa/NZ, appearing at speaking events with disgraced lawyer Sue Grey who has continually pushed Covid and vaccine disinformation narratives, and has in the past lodged spurious OIR requests with the Ministry of Health over the 1080 pest control program, designed to preserve natural biodiversity in the region.

Pokere-Phillips has also promoted the views and activism of Brian Tamaki, who promotes dangerous beliefs, disinformation and far-right populism in an attempt to promote his commercially oriented Church activities, and to promote himself as an opposition to the democratically elected govt seats, having previously supported discredited minority parties that have failed to win parliamentary seats.


thank you. 2404:440C:1304:4700:E90F:6FC0:DC60:567F (talk) 04:08, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I thank that reverting them as NPOV was a bad idea (I've crossed the warning out) as it was only a few words ("disgraced", "dangerous", etc.), but also reliable sources are a concern, as per WP:BLPCITE any unsourced material should be removed. Those sources seem to mainly discuss Sue Grey as being far-rights, and Facebook posts aren't the most reliable. Thanks and sorry for the late response, CLYDEFRANKLIN 07:13, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Belief talk: Nitzer Ebb 1989

A tag has been placed on Belief talk: Nitzer Ebb 1989 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

I think this was intended to be a redirect, but it is either a mistake or an implausible search.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. gobonobo + c 23:52, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Gobonobo, it's a glitch with User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS. It should be moved without a redirect to the correct place, Talk:Belief: Nitzer Ebb 1989 instead of being deleted. — Clyde!Franklin! 00:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
