January 2016

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Osiris (talk) 08:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

You're copying and pasting articles from the English Wikipedia and overwriting other editors' simplified work. Feel free to translate the pages into Simple English, but work on one article at a time. Just copying and pasting is not tolerated. Osiris (talk) 08:06, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I've had to revert your pasting on WWE Superstars, WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown‎, since you haven't made any attempts to simplify them in the days since I made the above request. Please simplify anything you bring over from the English Wikipedia, and add attribution for it. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Osiris (talk) 12:38, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

WWE articles

You seem to be removing many of the citations from our WWE roster articles without explaining why. I don't see why we need to take out citations. Could you explain your reasoning? Thank you, Only (talk) 20:56, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Discussion on WP:AN

Hi, there is an ongoing discussion on the administrators' noticeboard which concerns you. Your input in this matter is appreciated. Thank you. Chenzw  Talk  11:22, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

I apologize this took so long and for my lack of communication as I'm still fairly new to Wikipedia and I couldn't quite understand how to communicate at the time and I use this as no excuse. I apologize for the frequent removal of redlinks and sometimes citations as I was just looking for a method to simplify the page to make it easier for those scrolling it. Only removing those that were outdated, but I became overzealous and I made major errors due to my part and since then they have been restored on the page and those that were removed recently were just corrected in proper manner or outdated. My objective to make edits on the page were simply the manner of updating outdated information and I due advocate the need of a registered user to make the proper edits when necessary as I am not one myself. Once again I apologize for the disturbance that was due to my behalf. I promise on the page there will be less edits that are only made in the proper use when necessary and when, in do time, there is a proper registered user in place. Thank you for your understanding and hopefully patience as I sincerely apologize again on my behalf as my objective was to only make improvements and to not make things difficult that I did.

Things that may be of concern

Edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia, there is a small box labeled "Change summary" shown under the main edit box. It looks like this:

Change summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made here)

This is usually followed by a place where you can type. In this box, you should explain briefly the changes you made. Just a few words will help a lot. Etamni | ✉ | ✓  18:24, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Sources

On one of your changes, you removed a source. This was information contained between tags that look like this: <ref> and </ref>. I checked and the source was accurate. This is not something that should be done. We want every fact that is reported in Wikipedia to have a source that people can verify for themselves. In other words, we want more of these, not fewer. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 

Small changes or large changes

Others may feel differently, but it would probably be better to make fewer edits. You can do this by figuring out the things you want to change and doing them all at once, instead of making a lot of small (separate) changes. This is because we watch a list that shows every change made, as they happen, and changes to this article are filling up that list. This makes it harder for us to watch for vandalism. If you are unable to do this for some reason, that is ok. I'm just saying it would be a better way to make your changes.Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 

Accuracy and NPOV

Many of us don't know a lot about WWE. Please make sure that the edits you make are accurate, and that they do not favor some people's opinion over that of others. I'm not saying that you are doing this, only that those of us who don't know much about WWE might have a hard time telling the difference. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 

You are welcome here

I want you to understand that we want good changes to all of the articles here, including the ones you have been editing. My comments are only intended to help you make good changes that are easier for everyone else to understand. Thank you for your contributions to Simple English Wikipedia! Etamni | ✉ | ✓  19:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries in your edits. With so many small edits in such a short period of time (80+ edits to one page in 4 days) and the nature of your edits (removing large amounts of content, only to transplant them to somewhere else later), specifying an edit summary will allow other editors to better understand the intention behind your edits. Thank you. Chenzw  Talk  07:28, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Chenzw, please use edit summaries. It makes Recent Changes Patrolling so much easier. Thank you. //nepaxt 01:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

KO Asylum: I see that there was a brief period you went through where you started using edit summaries, but now you've stopped. Please, please, please start using them again. Editors here are truly baffled by some of your changes and we need explanations for them. For example, why do you keep changing the header "Main roster" → "WWE roster" → "Main roster" → "WWE roster"? Start using edit summaries and we'll be able to understand this. There is yet another thread at the Administrators' noticeboard about your edits. Osiris (talk) 03:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Osiris: Thank you for alerting me about this and the concern. I will start using edit summaries and be more alert when making edits when need be. I apologize for the concern and thank you again. KO Asylum (talk) 02:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

What constitutes "minor"

Hello KO Asylum, I've noticed that you tend to tag your edits with the "minor" checkbox. I just wanted to let you know that checking "minor" doesn't mean that the change is minimal. It means that a change is very small and that nobody would argue with it. For example, fixing spelling or formatting, fixing or adding interlinks, or fixing vandalism are all considered to be small or minor changes. When you add new information to an article, even if it is a minimal amount of information, that is not a minor change, and should not be marked as minor. If you have any questions about this, you can read more about this at WP:MINOR or ask below or on my talk page. Etamni | ✉ | ✓  06:29, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I greatly appreciate it. KO Asylum (talk) 07:47, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Template:WWE Championships

Hi, KO Asylum. I noticed that you made some changes to this template that changed the category from Category:WWE navigational boxes back to Category:WWE championship navigational boxes. We don't have that second category, so I have changed it back. You could create it if there were at least three entries to go into it, but please don't put it back on the template if it hasn't been created. In other words, please don't put a redlinked category on the template. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:03, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

List of current champions in WWE

Hi, KO Asylum. With this edit, you undid a change I had made to put correct categories on this article. Please be careful not to do that. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:37, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries. Majority of your edits do not have summaries, and it's making it very difficult for others to understand what you are changing. Also, consider combining multiple edits into one; the "Show preview" button might be useful for this purpose.

This is starting to become an issue. Chenzw  Talk  16:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

too many saves

May we ask you to save your updates less frequently? You have been updating the same page again and again at one minute intervals. That floods the "new changes" page, and makes it hard to keep track of what is happening elsewhere on the wiki. Thank you. Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Why are you making small changes in succession such as this, this, and this, and why are you making them inconsistent with the rest of the article? Please stop immediately, and use the "Show preview" button if you find a need to make layout-related changes to articles (but I stand by my opinion that your earlier changes are unnecessary). Chenzw  Talk  06:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

RfD nomination of <Template:WWE Championship>

An editor has requested deletion of [[:<Template:WWE Championship>]], an article you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2016/Template:WWE Championship and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much.
