Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for explaining more about why that timeline is a hoax article. I don't know why the creator keeps on editing it after it was exposed. Random86 (talk) 05:36, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I specifically joined Wikipedia to back you up on the hoax situation. Misinformation really bugs me, so I felt an obligation to try to get rid of it. At least there's a giant warning at the top of the page now, and the merge suggestion has been removed from both pages, so I think the only people who will be looking at it are editors like us, rather than innocent K-poppers. And I agree - the creator's continued editing (but not actual fixing) makes no sense. Gottagotospace (talk) 06:25, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

March 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cross Gene has been reverted.
Your edit here to Cross Gene was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6l-CkRJOJs) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Note to self: I sorted this out. The link was not a copyright violation and it was relevant to the article's contents, so I undid the bot's revert. Gottagotospace (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Sorry, didn't mean to speedy your sandbox. I was going to start using Twinkle and I already messed up! Huge mistake, and won't happen again; and again sorry! Adog104 Talk to me 04:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:06, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

HiQ 1981 national competition

First national competition in the HiQ program WombatMcDougal (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Gottagotospace removed my addition to the article about the HiQ program alleging a lack of a reliable source. The reliable source is me, Stephen Asbel. I was there, a participant in the competition. That makes me

a primary source which would be more reliable than a second hand publication from after the fact. WombatMcDougal (talk) 01:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the topic, but you do not count as a reliable source. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:You are not a reliable source. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask me or bring it up on the talk page for the article. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Article in the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Post-Gazette, May 5, 1981. WombatMcDougal (talk) 02:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Ooh, interesting! Thank you very much! I appreciate your dedication to finding this! I've got access to newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library (you get it after having an account for 6 months plus making 500 edits), but the Wikipedia Library is down right now so I can't check it out. I'll try to remember to take a look tomorrow. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

This user has been rapidly closing XFD discussions since the very first edit, and while some of them seems legit, some of them are clearly trolling. (ex.attempting to close a discussion before consensus is reached) Is this dude a sockpuppet? LTA? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know. I don't have the fancy permissions to check IPs. Maybe that one isn't a sockpuppet, but there have been a bunch of accounts with the same username structure (3 numbers at the end) trying to close the Daniel Finley deletion discussion (but no other deletion discussions) prematurely.

B. Simone

Hello Gottagotospace :D Thanks for the article, it seems to provide really thorough coverage. One minor thing though, while forbes articles are sometimes reliable, the ones written by forbes contributors are not. I've removed the citation and the information that is associated with it, feel free to restore with an alternative citation. If you have any questions, ping me! Justiyaya 03:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for your contribution! Gottagotospace (talk) 11:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the content with the new source :D

If you would like to, consider applying for rollback. It allows you to login to WP:Huggle which allows for much better patrolling. You have an impressive amount of recent changes work in essentially a week. I know it does say that applicants should have at minimum of a month patrolling on the page but I'm quite sure many admins would be willing to grant you the permission anyways given the amount of time you spent on patrolling. If you'd like to be safe about it, give it a few more weeks but do consider! Happy editing Justiyaya 14:20, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! I will consider that, but I think I'll give it some more time to get more experienced first. Gottagotospace (talk) 14:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Wow, you're fast

I went to make an account to properly add a reference to the K'tut Tantri article I edited and when I come back its already added! Im guessing you have the recent edits page open, cause I dont know how you got it done so quickly. Im guessing thats what a patroller does. TheAshran31 (talk) 14:12, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Yup, that's what I do! When I'm patrolling, I have the recent changes page open and refresh frequently. So much comes through that I don't have a chance to look at all of it (that's why lots of people are recent changes patrollers - to increase the chance of each edit being reviewed), but I usually try to at least look at the biography articles. Thanks for your contribution! Gottagotospace (talk) 14:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Barnstars!

		The Patroller's Barnstar
		Awarded in appreciation for all of the work you do to ensure high-quality contributions, require citations, and prevent vandalism. Thank you! Jlahorn (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Yay, my first barnstar! Thanks so much! :) Gottagotospace (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Heh, I dont know what that is exactly but congratulations!

Wow this place works quick, in the time it took me to read your response you got an award. Bit overwhelming to be honest. TheAshran31 (talk) 14:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
