User talk:Ssybesma

Hi Ssybesma. I'm blanking this page and I'm hoping that you will take this as an opportunity to rule a line under your initial upsetting start and more on. I understand that you feel that you were bitten and that it's very upsetting as a new editor who meant no harm. I believe that you have good intentions and only meant the best when you added the links but I don't think you're going to achieve anything positive by continuing to tell Jamie off. You've made your point very clearly and there's really nothing positive to be achieved by continuing. On Wikipedia, we only use blocks as a means to prevent disruption and to be honest, I'm getting very concerned that if you continue focusing attention on Jamie another administrator will come along and block you for disruption. So instead I would like to invite you to make a new start. I am posting the welcome message below as you don't seem to have received one before. I hope that you will be able to write the encounter with Jamie off as misunderstandings on both parts and move on and enjoy being an editor here. There is always heaps of work that needs to be done and you are most welcome to edit articles and join in discussions etc. Regards, Sarah 04:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. To be honest, parked domains and such is not my subject area and not something I have much knowledge or experience editing, so I've asked another friendly admin to pop by when he has a minute to answer your questions about it. Sarah 06:04, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re the domain parking article, the best way to do it would be to take a screen capture of the parked site and upload it to Wikipedia as a graphic. It would need a fair use rationale in order to not be deleted - I'm not sure which one would be used, but this talk page's participants may be able to help. As for the fang link, it seems reasonable, it's a non commercial link and is a pretty good list of all parked domains, so I would simply put "The Parked Domains Project at ivegotafang.com - contains a free list of about 47 million parked domains" or somesuch - that way it cannot possibly be mistaken for an ad. Incidentally, a domain I used to own is on that list - my webhost stole it from me. :( Orderinchaos 06:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries :) At the end of the day what you are trying to avoid is any perception that Wikipedia is advertising a product or service - especially when you have no intention of doing so. The relevant guideline is WP:ELNO. As you're describing or demonstrating a phenomenon, then showing an example of it as a graphic which people can view is sufficient to do so - many Internet or computer articles on Wikipedia do that.

Re the second one - If it appears to be advertising the Firefox toolbar, then there's the risk we'd be seen as somehow endorsing the toolbar over all similar ones. However, if we link it as a useful site with 47 million parked domains listed on it (and I note that it contains no popups or scripts or malware etc so otherwise is OK, and that the site is non-commercial and does not require a login or other special access), there really isn't a problem. Orderinchaos 06:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. :) I'm very glad Order was able to help you. If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask either of us. If we don't know the answer ourselves we should at least be able to point you in the right direction. Cheers, Sarah 06:57, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Original research and the "minor edit" flag[edit]

This edit adds a paragraph to Constitutional crisis without any sources. I consider it original research (which is not permitted), since it expresses your own prediction that is not backed by a source. There are also some other issues with the edit, such as imprecision regarding district and circuit/appeals courts. Finally, it is marked as a minor edit, but it should not be. Edits adding entire paragraphs are not minor. When in doubt, you can always leave 'minor edit' unchecked. Thanks. Mattflaschen - Talk 02:50, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert[edit]

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Only warning[edit]

Do not make another politicised personal attack like this edit again. You have been made aware of the discretionary sanctions in all pages relating to post-1932 politics of the United States; please conduct yourself accordingly, thank you. Alex Shih (talk) 15:43, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What are you going to do about it?[edit]

Suppose I take the last four words off? Doesn't make any difference in what the final outcome is going to be because you and your gang of libtard socialist open-borders idiots have already decided it. So what advantage to me to even consider anything you say? Why don't you conduct yourself in a way that supports truth over a hiding painful lies with politically-correct, redefined terms like 'immigrant'.

Maybe then I will have respect for you, but not until then.

IMMIGRANT implies someone who is here LEGALLY!!!

Legal immigrants are never subject to catch and release, and those here illegally are subject to it all the time, especially when Obama was president. It became such a problem, we have a new president who is going to stop that practice and deport these illegal aliens as should have been done for the past 25 years!!!

That is the truth. Calling those subject to catch and release 'immigrants' is done purposefully so as not to hurt sensitive feelings and in doing so it does damage by helping hide the truth of illegal immigration.

That will not be tolerated by me and probably many Americans who know about this and who know Wikipedia's English website is controlled by a high percentage of foreigners with an anti-American attitude. I couldn't care less about your empty threats to me. I'll register other accounts and use other IP addresses and carry on a campaign of war against that page if you keep reverting my changes. I could care less what a committee of hell-bent liberals has to say about it as long as they don't support a truthful definition of what 'immigrant' means.

You cannot stop me short of freezing the page indefinitely to anyone's edits.

Do whatever you want with my account including banning it, but that will just make things worse for you.

I suggest you waste your time elsewhere.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may think you're declaring war, but you're just another click for us. We'd be here anyway because we're being productive. You'd be the one wasting your time with your imaginary crusade. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:51, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
