Sorry not sure how els to contact you to discuss the farm page.

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

I had added one reference link to page Бесхвостые , tutorvista had added its 4 links, then why not i can add one more reference link from other website. Its not promotion, but the page which i have, also tells about fron digestive system. So is that bad to put a reference link on that page. Please guide me.

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Hi, DMacks:

    When I fixed the some mistake of python code in "leap year", my code is rollback by you for the reason "Too much detail/WP is not a how-to manual". I'm software engineer, and I found many people don't known the history of "leap year", include the textbooks about programming in china. the wrong code is used for getting "leap year"(before 1582). So, I spend some time to study this question, and wrote the code which let more people know "leap year". can you allow the code is added to the context of "leap year".

   It's my first commit in Wiki. :)

   Best Regards

   Jerry.Liu, Beijing, China

   PS:
   I have add python code to bake of baidu. let more people knows the history of "leap year".  My English is poor, maybe you can know what I said.  hah.

Hi DMacks, Just thought I'd write a note to you as my recent edit has been deleted, Having been a pro musician all my life and notice that the only thing about me is one line to say I sang I Love You with Climax Blues Band is a little frustrating. My reason for adding a sort of biog is that no one else will, its not meant to be self promoting in any way just to list one's achievements, I thought Wikipedia was exactly that , an information page. Any way I do apologise, Thanks Derek Holt 86.144.32.127 (talk) 22:37, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

This was one of the more involved edits I've made thus far to Wikipedia. I'll be the first to admit that I was in over my head from the start.

First, the pachymic acid article. I was surprised that there wasn't even a stub article, so I set upon trying to create one. I started with an arbitrary compound, arachadonic acid, copied the chembox template and began substituting values. I'm not surprised that there were some vestiges left behind, as all of this was done with a finicky wi-fi connection that really challenged my patience as I went about editing. I looked around for a free way of generating a 2D drawing, as I'm on an extremely low budget. There's no doubt that the drawing I came up with was crude indeed, but I was hoping for someone like you to come along and substitute a superior (and more completely drawn) image. Thanks for doing that.

Second, the Wolfiporia Extensa article. Another editor added an orphan tag to the pachymic acid article, so to eliminate that, I wiki-linked from the W extentsa article. In your revert you mention that a different species is involved, but that is inaccurate. If you look at the synonyms for Wolfiporia extensa, Wolfiporia cocos is one of them. Your revert, although done with good intentions was done for a reason I'm not in agreement with, ie, there having been two different species, but that was not the case. Moreover, your revert of the W extensa article has made the pachymic acid article an orphan again. A source for pachymic acid is inarguably this mushroom, which is known by Wolfiporia extensa AND Wolfiporia cocos. They're synonyms for the same species. Would you consider reverting your revert? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chango369w (talk • contribs) 07:21, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for starting the article! I was browsing for chemistry images that were tagged for various administrative or scientific attention, no problem for me to draw a nice one. Definitely no offense intended regarding yours. I know how difficult science drawings and articles can be to get onto Wikipedia.

That synonym issue is confusing. I did not notice the infobox section on the Wolfiporia extensa species. Instead, I was looking at the Wolfiporia genus article, which has cocos and extensa listed as two separate species. I'm coming into this with no background for this sort of taxonomy:( I found a higher quality ref that discusses the biological origin of this chemical, and it also agrees with the synonym situation specifically in relation to it, so there's no doubt about it. So I re/undid the link changes, and also put some notes in the genus and species articles clarifying that there is confusion. Let me know if there's anything further to clean up, or in general if you need help with (bio-)chemistry content. DMacks (talk) 08:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for everything that you've done! No offense taken at all. I wish I had known about your drawing skills around 5 weeks ago. I had the then embryonic Pachymic acid article in edit mode on a tab on my browser for weeks while I procrastinated. I tried a number of free drawing programs, but got mired down, finally settling for the program I ended up using. So I suppose you could call what I created a image stub. :)

What you've substituted in its place is far far better. BTW, the motivation for creating the pachymic acid article emerged out of having done a Google search using the following keywords: "pachymic acid pubmed". Maybe you've already done so, but it appears to me that this is a compound worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia! Once again, thanks. Should I run across something like this again, would you be willing to collaborate? Chango369w (talk) 17:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I would certainly be willing to collaborate on these sorts of articles. DMacks (talk) 17:21, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think Black Epsilon~ the big draw you've been cleaning. I forgot to check and block this one earlier. —SpacemanSpiff 20:03, 11 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yup, tagged and blocked. I'll do more laundry later today. DMacks (talk) 16:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

…at the recent Talk I added at Wikiproject Chem, which then references to a discussion at the Infoboxes. The data in these appears to be the bailiwick of a group of Infobox devotees, and so getting process to change will be sticky. But at present, much infobox "info" is so much unverifiable hooey, at least practically spelling—who has time to check a list of possible sources, for each fact?—at least, as far as I can see. Cheers, mate. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 21:15, 11 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'll try to take a look tomorrow. Thanks for the heads-up. DMacks (talk) 07:43, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi you have said i could be blocked from wikipedia without further warning. I am not a spammer. I dont have an intention to spam on a prestigious website like wikipedia. i am trying my best to put in some useful / relevant information. My submission "what is my face shape" was kept as a relevant document for more than a week. I thought it was pretty much informative as far as the topic was concerned. I dont know why you have decided to delete it suddenly. To add to my surprise, you have sent me a warning. is it a right way to treat? You owe me an explanation about your deletions 1. "what is my face shape" in Facial symmetry 2. "smokey eye makeup" in cosmetics section — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avisonly (talk • contribs) 20:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your sole activity here appears to be adding to links to some website, one that does not seem like a reliable source. I see others had already left you several talkpage notes about your edits, and I see that many your similar edits had been undone. Your edit to Cosmetics was the one that I first noticed and that pushed it over the edge...not even an attempt to add content, just dump in a link. That's WP:SPAM. And it was the same site as you had been adding in various ways--"adding links to that site" was the pattern that emerged, so I made sure to clear up that pattern ("refspam" is the usual way it's described). Clearly were not getting the message with milder wordings, so I went with a stronger wording in my message. DMacks (talk) 20:25, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello Dmacks,

thanks for assisting me. just a newbie on Wikipedia so, not so information i got right now. About how to write and what is appropriate thing to post on a page. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polet1980 (talk • contribs) 07:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I just left a brief bit of information and some links about how to get started on your talkpage. Let me know if you have any questions. DMacks (talk) 07:41, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello - Looks like I updated a source on Rider University page by logging out. This was not my intention, I assumed you had to be logged in to make the change. Apologies for the confusion. I am new to Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.104.104.9 (talk) 14:57, 15 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

No worries! But the entry itself is not acceptable. A person needs to meet Wikipedia's "notability standard" to be listed. See WP:BIO for details. DMacks (talk) 19:22, 15 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi DMacks, it looks like ability to edit their own page might need to be reconsidered. I've already reverted their crap enough. Thank you, 2601:188:0:ABE6:5D65:637D:D70A:E45F (talk) 04:43, 18 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
