National varieties of English[edit]

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 01:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-Vandalism Academy Program[edit]

As I do appreciate your enthusiasm and initiative to learn about counter-vandalism, it does not appear that you have enough experience to be able to sufficiently learn advanced concepts in the CVUA program. As a general rule of thumb you should have at a minimum 200 mainspace edits, These are edits to article and you can see a breakdown of the amounts of edits you have by going under "Contributions" then clicking "Edit Count". If you would like to advance your basic knowledge then I suggest completing WP:TWA. Thank you for your enthusiasm, and I will gladly accept you as a student in the future provided you achieve these goals. Toast (talk) 04:18, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Thanks for taking the time to say so! [IP] 11:37, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Trail Life USA Freedom Award (November 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Compusolus were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Trail Life USA Freedom Award and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Compusolus (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Justyouraveragelechuga! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Compusolus (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just cleaned up the work a bit. I suggest bulking up the text with cited work and resubmitting. --evrik ^(talk) 03:47, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CVUA Program[edit]

Hello editor, Unfortunately at this time I cannot accept you as a CVUA student because of a lack of mainspace edits. These are edits to actual articles on wikipedia and not user, user talk, or other wikipedia pages. The minimum amount is 200 mainspace, as of right now you have 66. Your initiative is appreciated though, and I hope this does not affect your motivation for editing Wikipedia. Toast (talk) 18:03, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lechuga_Reply[edit]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Justyouraveragelechuga (talk) 18:05, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The "correct" way to reply to a message is to do this in the same section, indented. If you edit on a computer, you can simply click the reply button, and the software will do it for you. If you edit with mobile, you typically have to do it manually: you can indent by typing a colon at the beginning of your response (and two colons to indent even further). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:31, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to Mehro Pilo[edit]

In the article Mehro Pilo, a village in Pakistan, you changed the spelling of a name from Khan to Kahn without citing a source. I have reverted the change as, given the location, it's more probable the name is of Indian extraction than Germanic. Please cite a source if you wish to change it again.

December 2022[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Classical education movement. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

Undercover Police Car moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Undercover Police Car, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ––FormalDude (talk) 19:25, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Justyouraveragelechuga, I have boldly redirected the draft to Police car#Unmarked car, where the topic is covered with references. You might want to have a look there to see whether you can see any ways to improve the section, but your draft was unreferenced, so I didn't see anything I should add. I suspect you didn't think to search for existing coverage under the term "unmarked", and therefore I think your title is a useful redirect, and I recreated it as a redirect (and also a parallel redirect at Undercover police car, with the capitalization that is preferred for article titles that are not proper names).

I see you've also had another article draftified. Were you aware that when you create an article, you should include two or three reliable sources from the start, both to support the information and to demonstrate that the topic is notable? See this summary. Yngvadottir (talk) 02:33, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yngvadottir Well, there is a difference from an unmarked police csr to an under cover police car. The unmarked police cars still can have lightbars, APLR, and other things. The undercovr police car has none of that (at least visible) and looks completely like a civillian vehicle. I say that the redirect be undone before someone gets the two confused.

--Lechuga I AM A RECENT CHANGES PATROLER 14:52, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The third paragraph distinguishes the two, with a reference; I didn't see anything in your article that that doesn't cover except the specific mention of stings, and the History section that you hadn't added any content to. Expand the paragraph (adding with one or more references)? You can also post to Talk:Police vehicle, but again, you should cite one or more references there. You are of course able to undo my redirection, but in that case you should expand the draft so that it becomes clear that there's too much that needs to be said on the topic for it to fit suitably into the section at Police car; and it needs to have several references (at least two extended articles in newspapers, magazines, or reliable websites, or book segments), to demonstrate the notability of the topic. After you do that and the draft gets accepted at AfC, my other two parallel redirects should be changed to point to your article. Yngvadottir (talk) 23:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User box[edit]

Please stop adding the recent changes patroller user box when you sign your talk page comments. That's a userbox and should be used on your user page only. Adding it with your signature is distracting, messes up formatting, is completely unnecessary and could be construed as disruptive. I notice you're doing it manually, not as part of your signature. Please stop adding it to talk pages. Canterbury Tail talk 02:39, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake made on MINDS Wikipage?[edit]

Hi, I have been trying to edit the MINDS Singapore page for a couple of days now. This is my first time working on Wikipedia as a volunteer. I do not work for MINDS, I am a volunteer, I am simply updating the Wiki page, so that it would be true, factual and unbiased. Could you please point out where I have breached the Wikipedia guidelines? Would be greatly appreciated. 103.252.201.66 (talk) 03:09, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your RFA[edit]

Hello Justyouraveragelechuga, I'm Moneytrees, and I'm an admin and experienced RfA nominator. I noticed you have created a request for adminship page and it seems like you're trying to transclude it right now. I very strongly encourage you to not move forward with your run, and tag the page with a G7 CSD notice so it can be deleted. You are not experienced enough to run, and will not pass-- to have a serious candidacy, you need to have at least around 10,000 edits, at least a year of consistent editing, and substantial content contributions and/or a demonstrated expertise in a certain area. You have none of these. It looks like you've recently made several minor edits to your userspace in order to become extended confirmed so you could add your RfA to the main RfA page-- this will be seen as "gaming" for the extended confirmed userright, and will immediately sink your run. I'm not trying to be mean by telling you this, I'm trying to save you from an unpleasant experience: RfA's are very high scrutiny and can be quite intense. My own RfA is a prime example of this. There's more advice and information at Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship. Again, please do not start a run-- you will not pass, and there's a chance it will draw a lot of unwanted attention and be very stressful. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 03:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moneytrees Ok Justyouraveragelechuga ^talk 03:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've now deleted it, thank you. Make sure to be careful when getting involved with processes, and don't put out any personal information about yourself. Wikipedia has a lot of confusing and difficult processes; not understanding them is not a negative reflection on you at all. It's best to slow down and act with care when you don't fully understand something. And if you don't like the site, taking a break or doing something else is perfectly fine.

Disambiguation link notification for January 6[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jon Reep, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hemi. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

Hello Justyouraveragelechuga and I noticed you had never been welcomed to Wikipedia. Let me be the first to do so on your talk page. Even though you technically made your first edit to Wikipedia before I even knew Wikipedia existed I have spent the last two years reading and learning the workings of Wikipedia. I am by no means an expert and I am still learning, especially how to apply Wikipedia's rules to different topic areas. That being said, knowing where and who to go to for help is important. Of course you are always welcome to ask anything at the Teahouse but you are also welcome to ask me questions on my talk page. I like to think a role I can fill pretty easily, as a minimum, is one in which I help others navigate Wikipedia to find answers for questions they may have. Feel free to seek my help anytime you need it or have a question. --ARose Wolf 16:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ARoseWolf!

Thak you so much for being the first person to welcome me to Wikipedia! I do know about the Teahouse, in fact I am a Teahouse host! Thank you for taking the time for the (belated) welcome! I do have a question: how did you find my talk page? Was it chance, or were you alerted to my existence? Do please reply. --Justyouraveragelechuga ^talk 16:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At certain points of my scheduled time here on Wikipedia throughout the week I skim over various pages looking for editors that might need help without really involving myself in the discussions. I'm not really here nor have time for drama, even legitimate drama. I saw this dicussion and thought the best thing to do was show some kindness and offer assistance if it is needed. Again, the offer always stands but you are not obligated to use it or communicate with me in any way. Just here as an encouraging and reinforcing presence. --ARose Wolf 16:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I think it's phenomenal that you joined the Teahouse as a host. I'm a host too and though I rarely comment or answer questions unless I specifically know the answer, I read the questions and various answers quite often. If I may make a suggestion it would be for you to do the same if you aren't already. There are amazingly experienced editors that regularly answer there and learning from them on how and what to communicate will assist you a lot. No matter how many times a question is asked, there may be different answers given each time that may increase your knowledge and help you when it comes time to answer questions yourself or even improve your editing skills. I haven't looked into your entire edit history so I don't know exactly what experience you may have. One error I did make was that I thought you joined in March of 2020 but I was a year off. I apologize for that. --ARose Wolf 17:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
