I look forward to seeing your photos of this breed! I have a book that has some information on the breed that can be added to the article as well but just haven't gotten around to adding it yet. Recon rabbit 20:23, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are up on the page now :D ApteryxRainWing (talk) 12:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps too puzzling?

"Yap Central Station" for Talk and "Crimes I am responsible for" for Contributions are perhaps too puzzling for other editors to understand. I recommend you change to Username|Talk|Contributions. David notMD (talk) 14:27, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aw no fun allowed :(

but I fixed it so we're good now I hope ApteryxRainWing | Talk | Contributions 14:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: enabling the option to be trouted, because I want to see what it does ApteryxRainWing | Yell at me | Stuff I did 16:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been trouted for: You put a big clickable button. I am physically incapable of not clicking it, no matter the result. In conclusion, I should never be left alone with Big Clickable Buttons. Shovel Shenanigans (talk) 22:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy Mace Talk Page

Luke Elaine Burke has given you a pack of Toblerone bars! Chocolate promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Toblerone bars are wonderfully delicious! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a pack of Toblerone bars, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

You handled that argument with the individual on the politician talk page with grace, and kindness! Wishing you the best, L.E. Rainer 15:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spread the goodness of Toblerone bars by adding {{subst:Toblerone for you}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Aw, thank you! ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 15:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you are getting pinged or see any more messages from you know-who, I would suggest just ignoring them, as it will never be worth your time (in regards to this issue I guess, but I doubt any further messages will be unbaised and unrelated)! L.E. Rainer 00:52, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article quality

See Wikipedia:Content assessment for how articles are quality- and completeness-ratings on their Talk pages. (Redout is Start). Stubs and Starts are clearly not what they could become, but that is not grounds for deletion. Movie, book and game articles allow for descriptions of plot or gameplay without referencing, because as you asked at Teahouse, that information is from what the article is about. 'Original research' would be things like proposing that what happened in an author's life shaped the book's plot or character. Or you as an article editor comparing one video game to another.

Regarding welcomes

Hi there, thanks for being a friendly face and taking the time to welcome some of the newcomers recently
Just a small reminder about adding signatures to welcome messages, as I've noticed you've been manually inserting welcomes without adding your signature: using Twinkle can make the process easier, as it automatically adds your signature at the end. Including your signature helps let newcomers know who welcomed them and who they can reach out to if they need help, so it'd make sense to include it.

Thanks again for being apart of the Welcome Committee! Synorem (talk) 13:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

on my end, my signature shows up. Does it not appear for you? As for Twinkle, I don't trust myself with Wikipedia bots yet, I've only been here for a few months ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 13:37, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's too early yet

But at some point you might want to consider Wikipedia:Growth Team features/Mentor list. Happy editing! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:45, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at it and it sounds pretty interesting, but I am not sure how that would work with my schedule. Believe it or not, I'm only 16 and I have to put up with all the typical woes of being a high schooler such as exam season and my computer attempting to melt itself ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 16:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcomes

Hey! I noticed you've been welcoming new users, which is always good - though you may want to be a bit more discerning with your welcomes. For example, GuardantDigitalComms (whose username is against username policy as an WP:ORGNAME, and whose first edit was a COI edit to Guardant Health), an ideal welcome may have been Template:Welcome-COI. Try to focus on welcoming constructive contributors and checking their contributions prior to welcoming them, and if their contributions are problematic, using a more appropriate welcome informing them of policy. I've done the exact same thing before, so it's not a huge deal! I just wanted to let you know. Twinkle, if you use it, has a wide variety of welcome templates for more potentially problematic users. I'd suggest using that in the future. jellyfish ✉ 17:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright thank you. I admit that i've been a bit careless when welcoming people, I just look for redlinked talk pages and bluelinked contrib pages in the user creation log and leave the template message there, it's nice mindless work. I'll keep an eye on what exactly has been contributed from now on ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 17:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's all completely fine! I'm of the opinion anyone who's not a blatant vandal or otherwise WP:NOTHERE individual should be welcomed. It's just a matter of pointing out things in Wikipedia policy that may not be obvious to a newcomer, especially WP:COI, WP:NPOV, WP:RS/WP:OR, etc.! Helps get them off to a stronger start. :) jellyfish ✉ 17:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made a sort of template-ish thing I copy and paste into new users' talk pages. What do you think of it? does it provide the information a new user would need? I wrote it in a way where you can give it to a user without them having any contribs ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 18:31, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
