Welcome

Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
• How to copy from English Wikipedia

There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. --Ferien (talk) 12:01, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

False Warnings

Please be careful and read the edits carefully before you post warnings on my talk page about me removing something when I actually added the category for it. I will assume good faith at this point but please don’t do it again. Have a great one! PotsdamLamb (talk) 05:42, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: - I really do apologise for that, I indeed didn't see that you were a different person. Please don't report me, as I want to edit here! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Not gonna report you. Just letting you know you need to be more careful. I’m one of the more active editors on here and I do a lot of work in fighting vandalism and cleaning up articles. PotsdamLamb (talk) 05:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

One Strike Notice

I see you were blocked on English Wikipedia for vandalism. Over here we give users one chance (also known as the One Strike Rule). Basically you don’t carry over the block with you, however, administrators can block you with or without a warning. I encourage you to be on your best behavior and follow the rules. We are not as big as English Wikipedia and our rules are different so I encourage you to go to the homepage and read up on what we do and how we do it and the requirements. We have I think 6 really active admins a couple checkusers and a small group that is very active here where we spend our time doing various things from cleaning up articles to doing backend work. So again, please be cautious in what you do you so you don’t find yourself blocked on here. We also , on severe cases of users doing vandalism, will put in for a global block. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or on Simple Talk. PotsdamLamb (talk) 06:20, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: - Yes, I was blocked, but it wasn't my fault. I plan to return to the English Wikipedia on the 19th of May 2022. Thank you for telling me about the One Strike Rule. I will be very cautious with every action that I make. However, please assume good faith like you did when you spot a mistake. If I mistakenly warn someone and I realise (which I almost always do), I will remove it immediately like I did for you. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:30, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Film and movie

I changed film to movie because what it says here: Wikipedia:Words to avoid in Simple English. 50.30.176.21 (talk) 06:26, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@50.30.176.21: I'm sorry, I didn't know that that was required. That makes sense. I've been working on the normal English Wikipedia, so that's why I got mixed up. Reverting now! Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Creation of Talk:George Reeves

Can I ask why you created Talk:George Reeves as a blank page? I had deleted it because it was an LTA target with no actual discussions, and now that its created again it'll likely be vandalized more. --DannyS712 (talk) 06:39, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @DannyS712:, when you deleted the talk page, the article no longer had it, and I thought all articles needed a talk page! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Nope - talk pages aren't required, and are created as needed - just so you know. I won't delete it now unless they come back, but in the future I suggest only creating a talk page if you want to discuss something --DannyS712 (talk) 06:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Alright @DannyS712:, please don't give me a strike for this. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Only warnings

Hi Hockeycatcat, just so you know for future, only warnings (4im) should not be given out after final warnings (4). Once you've given a level 4 warning, you can report to VIP. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 11:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien: I thought it was the same person with a different IP, but they blanked their own talk page. I'm sorry. Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:19, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

No worries, no harm done :) --Ferien (talk) 11:20, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

@Auntof6: Sorry, I didn't see what I have caused. I won't interact with those types of comments from now on. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:58, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Little Warning

@Hockeycatcat thanks for letting me know but next time do not revert any edit i make unless i will report you, What you are supposed to do is to make correction or fix the erros there thanksJustin DUACE (talk) 12:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

@Justin DUACE: Please do not threaten to report me when I am simply doing the right thing. Your edits were not helpful, and there was nothing to correct. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

@Iamanshumantiwari: I'm sorry, but I do not have the power to unblock your account. You can submit an unblock request on your talk page by putting {{unblock|Your reason here}} on your talk page. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:00, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not welcome.

We usually don't welcome IPs, especially new IPs. We don't even welcome new signed in users till we see if they are disruptive or constructive (for a day or few days).

Just a reminder.

Ely - Talk 12:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

@Elytrian: Sorry, thanks for the reminder. I just saw that they were doing some good, tedious work. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:26, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Check first!

A barnstar for you

	Hardworking Barnstar
	Thank you for your hard works, Especially your protection against vandalism. Sakura emad (talk) 10:13, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

@Sakura emad: Thank you very much! It's nice to see my work recognised. Time to get back to removing vandalism! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:57, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hello Hockeycatcat, I have given you rollback. Please remember to only use this tool for bad-faith edits. You've used this tool before, so I think you know when and when not to use it. If you'd like to test it out here, please test here. Good luck and thank you for your contributions. :) --Ferien (talk) 13:41, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien: Thank you so much! You can be assured that I will only be using this tool in correct situations. I know that it’s not any faster than Twinkle, but it’s a good tool to have! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:35, 19 September 2021 (UTC) Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:35, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations

Have a happy journey in editing wikipedia with your rollback rights and function. I am so elated to see you getting that! And I feel sorry for you for waiting for a very long time to achieve your goal (desire) :) :-) Well, have a nice day! Regards! Haoreima (talk) 13:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

I heartily second this. Hope you get unblocked on en soon though. I can tell you having rollback on seven WMF projects that it's much better than TwinkleGlobal. SHB2000 (talk) 02:37, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Third this. Congrats. 💠Ely - Talk💠 10:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Elytrian: Haha, thank you very much :) Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your support, @Haoreima:! I’m glad to have the privilege of Rollback. And I understand that people are very busy and don’t always have time to respond. You have a great day too! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:37, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000:, thank you, that’s my next goal. Twinkle does have its issues! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

definitely. I wish there was something called "global redwarn" SHB2000 (talk) 02:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I know I'm late to the party, but I also wanted to congratulate you on rollback rights! :) AnApple47 (talk) 02:43, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@AnApple47: Thank you for your kind words! :) Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

and @SHB2000: yes, I really miss RedWarn and I can’t figure out how to get it on Simple. I know that it is possible but only the really smart people can get it :-) Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Try copying the code from User:SHB2000/common.js and going from there. @Elytrian:, do you know any other way? SHB2000 (talk) 06:52, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Or simply, go to Special:MyPage/common.js and insert the code mw.loader.load('//simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:JJPMaster/RedWarn.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript') and then click publish. SHB2000 (talk) 06:54, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Idk I just followed the instructions given. Maybe copy my commons.js💠Ely - Talk💠 09:36, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: Wow! That last one worked! Thank you so much! I'm happy to be using RedWarn again! I'm truly grateful! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Saw Elytrian do this method so I did it. SHB2000 (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Do not add any unresonable comment to my talk page again

did i told you i dont know that he said the article i created or edit, pls warn yourself from me thanksGimmelover (talk) 15:17, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello @Gimmelover: no, you didn't mention that you didn't know that it said that. I don't find my comment to be unreasonable, as you were using shouting caps at another editor. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:20, 21 September 2021 (UTC) pls warn yourself from me,

please do not talk to me, (Personal attack removed. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:28, 22 September 2021 (UTC)), (Personal attack removed. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)) Gimmelover (talk) 15:26, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

@Gimmelover: We all make mistakes, and I'm certainly no exception. However, I don't think I made a mistake when I told you not to be hostile. Please calm yourself down, editing Wikipedia should be fun! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:29, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Ok cheers, thanks for letting me know i was just angry before, there was a page created recently Marvelous MMW i think the page is not notable Gimmelover (talk) 15:41, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

@Gimmelover: That's quite alright, I have checked Marvelous MMW and it is already in a deletion discussion. At this rate it looks like it is going to be deleted very soon as it is indeed not notable. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:45, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Confusion at AN

Sorry for the confusion. I don't know what I was looking at this morning, but it seemed that I was looking at "Ok cheers, thanks for letting me know i was just angry before, there was a page created recently Marvelous MMW i think the page is not notable", and not the English Wikipedia issue that GL brought up. Sorry for that. SHB2000 (talk) 09:29, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

That's alright, @SHB2000:! I was quite tired myself and to be honest I don't even remember making that thread at AN. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah I was quite frustrated at Haoreima this morning (UTC+10) for calling my comments as "hate-speech" when I just said that I wished that GRP could get some help when it was quite the opposite although it was later that Ferien and Derpdart56 concluded that it wasn't hate speech nor was it uncivil. Anyway, thanks for all the anti-vandalism work you've been doing SHB2000 (talk) 09:36, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: I noticed that, but I didn't want to interfere. I believe that your comments are justified, as this is a vandal that has been active for many years. You were saying that you hope that he recovers, which isn't uncivil. You weren't making fun of him. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:42, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the support though :) SHB2000 (talk) 09:45, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Tip

Just if you want to categorise your name under language categories, you can use {{#babel:en-N|nl-N}} if you want, which automatically categorises you into those categories. Just a suggestion, and nothing a must. SHB2000 (talk) 09:38, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, @SHB2000:! I have added these into my talk and user pages. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:46, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

No worries :) SHB2000 (talk) 09:46, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Seems like using en-N and nl-N doesn't categorise you. Perhaps try using {{#babel:en|nl}} and see if that works SHB2000 (talk) 10:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: Just noticed that! I'll try that instead... Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC) Didn't workHockeycatcat (talk) 10:10, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

But it is rather strange on why it's not categorising. On some wikis like meta, it does that, but I'm not sure why not here. SHB2000 (talk) 10:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

It's alright, I'll add the categories back that I had but I'll keep the ones that you suggested because they look cool. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:10, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

What's rather interesting with these templates is that I noticed one user mentioned they were native speakers of about ten languages on another wiki (can't remember which one, but I think it was en.wikibooks?). SHB2000 (talk) 10:14, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: If you put your mind to it, you can learn many languages! I have studied Japanese and German, and I am currently learning French. Definitely not good enough to be able to speak them yet! Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:17, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

To be honest, you can, although I was quite uncertain if it were at a native level. I'm currently learning French now, although my communication skills in French aren't great. SHB2000 (talk) 10:20, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: Comment ça va? Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:24, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

bien merci! et toi? SHB2000 (talk) 10:27, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: Ça va bien aussi, merci! Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:28, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

(: SHB2000 (talk) 10:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@SHB2000: Alright, now that was a positive interaction. Time to get back to it! (: Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:32, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
