VPC

You are being contacted because you have in the past participated in the Valued Picture project. The VPC project is suffering from a chronic lack of participation to the point that the project is at an impasse. A discussion is currently taking place about the future of this project and how to revitalize the project and participation. If you're interested in this project or have an idea of how to improve it please stop by and participate in the discussion.

RefToolbar

By the way, it is now possible to localize the RefToolbar gadget to different languages. If you're interested, let me know. Kaldari (talk) 01:23, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Bhadani

Regards.

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at [email protected]. Cheers! Ocaasi^{t | c} 17:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited January 10, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basque (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Korrika, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baiona.

Basque Code Talkers

Hi, Theklan:

I've included in the Code Talkers article the information that you requested about Basque code talkers, including the link to the investigation (in spanish). I don't know if you can act as reviewer and take a look to the update (it has to be reviewed yet).

Thanks a lot.

Hello! The edition is great... but I don't know how to act as a reviewer! -Theklan (talk) 08:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki edu foundation

Hello, I see no indication that you and your students are working through the Wikiedufoundation. The contact person is User talk:Shalor (Wiki Ed). I think it best you contact her before proceeding.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlohcierekim:. You can see it in Basque Wikipedia. I'm not asking to revert the article here, but to give me access to the text I want to move to the dorrespondent sandbox in the Basque Wikipedia. I don't think is difficult to understand. -Theklan (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.)

Lourdes Iriondo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added a link pointing to Basque Country

Txillardegi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Iñaki LL (talk) 22:08, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 5

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Carles Puigdemont, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Catalan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 09:49, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You ignored the bot warning and continued to insert this dab link on multiple occasions. Stop doing so! Get a grip! ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 10:52, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

You have reverted 3 times in less than 24 hrs, edit warring is not acceptable, see WP:3RR. If you do it again you will be reported. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 10:45, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RichardWeiss: You have reverted 3 times in less than 24 hrs, edit warring is not acceptable, see WP:3RR. If you do it again you will be reported. -Theklan (talk) 10:54, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To the contrary, I haven't reverted at all in the last 24 hours, you've been warned. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 10:57, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

so I'm reverting what you haven't reverted. Great. Report it if you want, so we can have an admin see how you are behaving. -Theklan (talk) 10:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? It is standard procedure to warn new editors about 3RR. You didn't revert me but if you edit war again you are liable to be blocked. Claiming I have done something wrong isn't a defence. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 11:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RichardWeiss: Do whatever you think you must do. I'm not here to discuss with you, but to make a better Encyclopedia. -Theklan (talk) 11:10, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring does not make a better encyclopedia nor does repeatedly linking to a dab page. I have done what I needed to do which is warn you re 3RR. No admin will block a new user who hasn't been warned, you now have. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 11:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a new user. -Theklan (talk) 11:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 11:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, brilliant coordination between accounts! -Theklan (talk) 11:21, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Carles Puigdemont. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}. NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:51, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Theklan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Did nothing wrong, but defending the neutrality of an article agains the agenda of two editors with lots of free time. Theklan (talk) 13:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Did nothing wrong, but defending the neutrality of an article agains the agenda of two editors with lots of free time.  [[User:Theklan|Theklan]] ([[User talk:Theklan#top|talk]]) 13:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Did nothing wrong, but defending the neutrality of an article agains the agenda of two editors with lots of free time.  [[User:Theklan|Theklan]] ([[User talk:Theklan#top|talk]]) 13:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=Did nothing wrong, but defending the neutrality of an article agains the agenda of two editors with lots of free time.  [[User:Theklan|Theklan]] ([[User talk:Theklan#top|talk]]) 13:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
