[edit] Welcome

Hello, Mqduck, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! —Plato

[edit] Image copyrights

Thanks for uploading Image:Papaver alpinum.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 20:48, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Civility and Alan Dershowitz

Whilst I agree with your edit to the Alan Dershowitz page, and I am sure many others do too, please refrain from using swear words in your edit summaries. Some people find them offensive, and there are always polite ways to get your point across. Here at Wikipedia, we believe that you should always assume good faith and be civil. It would be appreciated if you could follow these guidelines as well. Thanks a lot, and if you want anything please do not hesitate to reply on my talk page. Batmanand | Talk 10:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I don't care about "swear words" as long as they aren't used to insult somebody else, and Wikipedia isn't censored. But saying things like "anyone who doesnt see the sentance i changed as a literal contradiction of the previous paragraph is insane" isn't okay because Wikipedia expects its contributors to be civil to one another. I don't mean to seem like I'm ganging up on you, but please be more civil in your interactions here going forward. Thanks and if I can help you somehow don't hesitate to leave me a message. · Katefan0(scribble)/poll 17:26, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
To anyone who reads this: The points were well taken and I agree with them. I should and shall remain civil in the future.

==Regarding your edits - May 2006== Thank you for experimenting with the page Emo (slang) on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Broken chains.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Broken chains.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Introducing typos into other people's comments

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Square root of 2. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —David Eppstein 14:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for my quick assumption that these were deliberate. It looks like I should have assumed better faith. —David Eppstein 15:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Communist?

Hey, I was just wondering why you live in the United States, a country founded on laissez-faire capitalism, and not Russia or Eastern Europe. Chenzo23 (talk) 20:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

You may want to update your references, but you get your point across. Anyhow, the reason is that a) I love this land, and b) it'd be pretty cowardly of me to run away instead of fighting to end exploitation here. And I suppose you want me to leave then, but you can just forget about it. ;)
Chenzo23 deleted my reply from his talk page. I'm sure it was an accident. --MQDuck (talk) 06:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] userbox

I have deleted User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist. This is disruptive, liable to cause drama, and unhelpful to the project. Please do not recreate it. Thanks.--Docg 10:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I have not found _any_ reason for deletion of this userbox besides this creator's userpage. It's liable to cause drama on a user's talk page. Can you provide any wikilink for discussion on this deletion, or was this of your own devising? Xavexgoem (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Oops, hadn't seen that you were an admin. I still don't find this justifiable. Xavexgoem (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MfD nomination of User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist

User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist

A tag has been placed on User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the template appears to be divisive and inflammatory. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Suggestion

I have put a suggestion for a different link in your userbox on this page please comment on this suggestion there. --ChetblongTalkSign 06:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Right to resist

If you're looking to engage editors on this issue, I think the best place to start would be at the ongoing RFC [1]. The MFD is closed as you know so no commenting there. If you want to suggest changes to the guideline, maybe start up a discussion on the guideline page. This whole debate made a lot of folks unhappy, I think it'd be a very good thing for you to start up a dialog about these issues. At the very least it would reduce the polarization that's happened over the deletion debate. I think the question to keep foremost in your mind is how to keep the focus on building a free, NPOV encyclopedia. That's the only, only reason we're here...and that's mostly why free speech isn't a core value here. If something is disruptive, some honest thought should be put into whether it could be modified or could be done without. Engage thoughtfully with those that disagree with you on this issue, work together to find a solution that satisfies everyone and furthers the goal of producing the best encyclopedia in the world...RxS (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] userboxes

based on that and your comments about blink 182 THIS USER IS AWESOME —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.151.180 (talk) 06:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. You wouldn't believe what a battle it was to keep the Right to Resist userbox from being deleted. It was quite emotionally draining, in fact. --MQDuck 11:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tags

Did you just update a tag on my own talk page? Uh, thanks. ;)

You're welcome, I suppose. Though it was merely a "helpful link" in someone else's comment. Anyway, hope you're having a good day : ) - jc37 23:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] regarding Template:User Pro-Cuba

Hi!
in your template you state that the user that uses it is "Pro Cuba" and i wanted to know what you mean:

  1. is that to say that he is pro communist & dictatorial rule in Cuba?
  2. or is that he wishes free and capitalist kind of Cuba?
  3. or maybe he just hopes for the well being of Cuba, regardless of its sort of regime?

I hope you'll anser me as quickly as possible. --Oren neu dag (talk) 07:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually i'm asking cause i honestly have no idea what mean by "Pro Cuba".
The three point i've written above are all presumtions, not rulings. so if u can just tell me what stands behing this template i'll be very happy with whatever your answer may be. --Oren neu dag (talk) 01:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cake (band)

I have reverted your moving of this article and the talk page conversation is irrelavent. Policy is very clear about all caps trademarked names, please read Wikipedia:NAMING#Use standard English for titles even if trademarks encourage otherwise. Regards, — Κaiba 22:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, you're obviously right and I'm glad the case has been settled. I just want to point out that "the talk page conversation" is always relevant. Wikipedia has policies, not rules. Don't forget Wikipedia:Be bold. --MQDuck 01:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for admin

I saw your post on the help desk. As it had been closed, I thought I should post this here. If you haven't already done so, have think about getting admin coaching. I'm currently going through it, and it really has proved very helpful. Had I gone straight to RFA a few months ago, I would have crashed and burned. I'm almost through my coaching, and I stand a sporting chance. If you have any questions about it, please drop me a line! StephenBuxton (talk) 12:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! --MQDuck 02:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox war

I thought you handled it pretty well. You explained your reason for creation, and didn't heat up when being opposed by other editors. There were moments where the discussion looked like it was getting to hot, but your arguments were relatively neutral and not attacking. The only objection is that you got held up, with other editors, in talking about real world events and politics, which may look like soapbox-ing. But you weren't alone in that discussion, and the circumstances surrounding the userbox were understandably contentious so such talk is reasonable, but should be avoided. But again, you didn't attack other editors and inflame the discussion. Overall, you did good. :)

But as a side note, I see you only have 569 edits to your name, and quite frankly the RFA crowd are a bit picky about edit counts. Consider editing more articles and Wikipedia pages to get more knowledge about the community; let yourself be heard on XfD and policy discussions. This would help the community judge you better in an RFA. And I'm telling you, it can be rough if you're unprepared. I hope this helps. - Mtmelendez (Talk) 13:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: Kenefick Ranch Winery AfD

You have a valid point about letting the AfD run, though it was closed early due to copyvio issues, and because of that I'm not sure that taking it to deletion review will overturn anything. In general, just because a company produces a product doesn't make that company notable, there has to be some form of notability proven beyond mere existance. In any event, maybe the winery is more notable than the sources presented suggest, if you can find some references (online or print) proving notability I'd be more than happy to help re-write something that's non-infringing. :) Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 15:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching request status

You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >1,750 edits & 4 months of activity) on Wikipedia before you can know for certain your ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. Therefore, at this time, your application for Admin Coaching has been declined.

My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Malinaccier (talk) 23:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

If you'd like to get more involved with Wikipedia in a way other than being an admin, go ahead and edit more :)! Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 23:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
