User_talk: Mokingjay

Hi Mokingjay,

Thanks for joining our community.

Since you're new, feel free to take the wikiHow tour to learn about how things work around here.

Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about contributing to wikiHow!

Mm, believe I'm about the worst person possible to go to for mustard. XD How ya doing? Anything I can help you with?

Hi there! Welcome to wikiHow! I saw your message to User_talk:Bradman1121...It's best not to make empty threats to report users for vandalism. Instead, you could politely ask the user to stop vandalizing pages, and maybe link them to our Sandbox in case they're just trying to test things out. :)

Ah, nothing much. I'm not quite sure what happened either, really - I think she just took something I said wrong or something of that variety. I don't blame her - it can be hard to catch tone through text! And I've got ketchup on everything, man. Who could resist that mushy delight?

Welcome!

You can't close discussions. You can report someone to me if you want. It really depends on what you're reporting about though :) What's up?

Thanks, do you want me to spruce yours up?

Okay then! What colour and style would you like? For example mine is green and dashed.

hi

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Byankno1. No, I didn't use Photoshop. At the time I created it,Time Magazine had an app on Facebook, that helped me create it. However, the app no longer works.

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Byankno1. Thanks. It only took me a few minutes to draw up and used an existing photo I had saved in my Facebook photo library at the time.

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Byankno1. There is more to New York STATE than New York City. I live several miles North of New York City, but would rather not tell you exactly where I live.

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Byankno1. Yes, that I can say. I do live in the state of New York.

what article is it for my puppet show

i need a puppet show script about solar system for preschoolers

whar it called

Hey! Regarding your help page question, what are you trying to report? If you give me more details, I can help! :)

I think it's fine to leave the message as is. Krystle has thick skin, so she is open to receiving all sorts of messages, and she deals with inappropriate messages by ignoring them and erasing them with the clearing of her talk page. But that's just my understanding - if you want, you can ask her :)

Hey Jay. I saw your message to Jeff and Adele. I've taken the liberty of removing that message from Krystle's talk page. You can see the changes I made here. :) Thanks for looking out on wikiHow! :)

Sure - check out How to Become a Welcome Wagon User on wikiHow :)

Okay, no-problem!

Thanks for trying to warn Emily Harkins about her erratic behavior. Nice to know MushyKetchup's got someone on her side. ;)

I'm in level 6

No, it's not the same. Just put your name in the members list the same format everyone does.

Hi! I just wanted to compliment you on your article Be an Outdoor Adventurer I just edited it and it's looking pretty good. With a little more work, it could be a rising star!

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Emily Harkins.

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to send a message to this user. However, I don't think it is appropriate for you to be threatening that users will be blocked. Only admins, such as myself, have the authority to block users, and we do so based on the evidence. This user has been warned several times already, so there is no need to re-iterate those warnings, especially since the user hasn't been active or violated any policies since.

Again, thanks for your help, but in general, it is best not to re-warn users and threaten them with blocks, unless you actually have the power to block them. :)

Thanks for your understanding,

Jeff

Just concentrate on making good edits, learning the policies, and listening to the feedback that other users give you. That is how you become an admin

Hi there,

Thanks for explaining! If the users have been blocked and have not made any edits since, there's no need to fret on the past :) I learned the hard way that it's best to leave things as they are in the present moment. To my understanding, it would only be applicable to warn the user (in a friendly way) if he or she is disrupting wikiHow in the present moment, but I would refrain from threatening to block the user, especially since only administrators have the power to block users.

Thank you for pointing out the title mistake in How to Take Care of Liite Siblings. That article was created a little over a year ago, and was redirected to Care for Younger Siblings.

I saw your question on Discussion:Become a Woman Who Everyone Likes, too. Check out How to Give a Thumbs Up for an Edit on wikiHow for help!

Adelaide

I'm not sure what you mean?

Your name is cool. I like the hunger games. Welcome to Wikihow! ;)

Check out the Editing Basics...You might find the answer to your question in there :) Let me know if you don't!

Hmm... I'm not sure why that's happening. We are not the same person, so I might look at that. And of course I squiggle ketchup on my hot dog, I put ketchup on everything, man. :)

Update - I don't appear to be having that problem, sorry. Also, I saw some of those messages on her page that you left, and while it's cool that you want to help with guiding users and the like, you'll probably want to leave that to admins and the occasional NAB, since you're still fairly new. ;) If any user directly starts doing something you don't agree with to you, that's when to take action. If any other user notices something, it's that user's job to take care of it as well or ask for help from someone. Don't worry about it - it's still really cool that you're getting active on here! :)

Heya Mokingjay!

Just wanted to drop by and check in on how editing was going for you so far. Do you have any questions about wikiHow, or any of the policies, that I might be able to help with?

I noticed you left a note here for another new editor. It's awesome that you're eager to help new folks out! I just wanted to touch base because I didn't really understand your message, and I think it might be confusing to her, too. What do you mean by "we ask that you not say anything harmful to any players"? Are you referring to how we treat other editors in the community? Had she said something that you felt she needed input or a warning about? If you do see comments that aren't appropriate or within guidelines here, your best bet is to make a report on the wikiHow:ANB so that an Admin with the experience and responsibility to assess the situation and take action can take a look.

I'm also not totally sure why you'd recommend answering bug reports in the forums? If a user sees a potential bug and reports it there, responding to it is generally something that staff members do, since we can help with troubleshooting and pass that information on to the engineering team. Did you mean something else?

I think it's awesome you're eager to help new editors out! I just want to make sure you're on the same page with the community about the best ways to do that. Have you checked out How to Welcome New wikiHow Users yet, and How to Contribute to wikiHow As a New User or Beginner? Give them a read over and let me know if you have questions or concerns. If you're looking for a way to get your feet wet with editing and interacting, the Quality Guardian and Knowledge Guardian are great tools to start out with. Have you tried those yet?

Looking forward to hearing from you about your thoughts! Thanks :)

Maybe some picture, more descriptive steps. Small things like that!

I'm glad you like the flow of that tool. Remember that even on quick tools like that, it's quality and conscientiousness that make for the best voting. Quality over speed or quantity, every time! Did my above feedback about your message make sense to you, too? Do you have any questions about what it is/isn't best to say to other new editors? Let me know if so - happy to shed more light :)

I meant specifically on Be an Outdoor Adventurer.

Yes! That's my daughter in the photo. She's 8 years old now though!

Gracious Greetings Mokingjay, I hope that my words meet you on top of existence and further ascending higher with blazing fire! Do I like Jack? Is the sky blue? Do I love Jack? Is Imperial Transcendence Destini Celesta Star at the top of the cosmic stack? He has afforded me gifts that have ignited the magic of me beyond that of all of the stars looming above and this is our odyssey of infinite love! XX

Hope this helps! How to Put a Photo in a wikiHow Article

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Emily Harkins.

Please do not force anyone to write articles. You can write an article whenever you want and they can do the same. Some users don't even need to write articles. They just want to make edits.

Also, the reason your discussion in the forums was closed was because we had the exact same title of the thread and game already. There cannot be duplicate threads in the forums.

Nice to meet you!

This is not wikipediahow, it is wikiHow. Anyway, you do not need to make write an article by telling her. She will be blocked soon maybe, so you can just leave the problem to an admin.

Not everyone needs to write one though. No it is not wikipedia how. Look at the logo name at the top of any page and it obviously says wikiHow.

Cool. Don't let the cat of the bag though, it'd be unfortunate for the whole world to know I am really a cat occasionally moonlighting as a human. =^..^=

Where did you find that out?

I saw your note to Hailey and thought I might be able to help. wikiHow isn't short for Wikipedia How, and we're not affiliated with Wikipedia. We're just both wikis, which means our platforms allow for collaborative writing and input, and we use the same underlying software for that. You can read the definition of a wiki here. Hope that helps! :)

Okie doke. I just wanted to clarify that the name of this site is wikiHow, not Wikipedia How, since you and Hailey seemed to be debating it. If I can help with anything else, let me know :)

Oh dear, do you mean you'd written something but then accidentally closed the window and lost it? Have you checked to see whether it was saved in your drafts? If you're lucky, it might be there still - check My Profile in dropdown list above, then click on My Drafts and check through to the last edits you did and see if it saved itself, or a portion of it.

Do you see the "My Profile" tab at the top of this page, to your right? Click on that, then scroll down to "My Drafts". Click on that and it will open.

Hey there, I saw your message here: "Hello. Greetings from me. On Krystle’s page, its better not you ask who she is. Crystal is a wikimember, and part of the welcome wagon, and i think, maybe, article boosting. But start out typing things that have to do with wikipedia how".

Please don't tell other users that this site is Wikipedia How. This site is not short for "Wikipedia How". We are not affiliated with Wikipedia; we are just a wiki how-to manual.

Please read Adelaide's message above about the logo name. Wikipedia was never the first wiki to be created, and one wiki's name doesn't mean another wiki name. Wikipedia is one wiki, wikiHow is another, and has a different name. Every user here calls wikiHow, wikiHow.

I found your note on the forums. It was not acceptable that you say religion is a joke. Religion is NOT a joke and i don’t intend on you saying that. Please don’t start discussions if people are going to have to coach you. Many members of wikipedia how are religious and may get offended by suck a thing. Remember to be careful what you say. Again, religion is NOT a joke, so please don’t say that again. If you have something kind to say on my site, you can, otherwise please keep a rude comment to yourself.

Hi there! Please note that everyone does not believe in a religion. That was his/her opinion and was not being rude in any way. Everybody on wikiHow has their right to speak up, as long as they are not begin abusive and spooky.

Hey again, I saw this message here. I don't think it is appropriate to tell a user that he or she is blocked if he or she continues, but I could be mistaken. Simply asking the user to stop the behavior would suffice.

Hi, I would like to echo Adelaide's message above and kindly ask you not to threaten that users will be blocked. Administrators determine when blocks are necessary and block users accordingly. We ask that you refrain from using these types of threats, as they may not represent wikiHow policy when it comes to blocks. Thanks for your understanding.

Jeff

Hi, I'm not talking about "do" or "don't" or making words italic. I am talking about this message you left where you clearly told someone they may be blocked for inappropriate behavior.

• http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Savas_P&diff=prev&oldid=16589109

Tired of being told not to threaten people? Then stop doing it. Thank you!

Jeff

Hi Mokingjay. Thank you for starting a new article on wikiHow!

I noticed that a title you started (How to Stay Toasty During Winter) is very similar to a title we already have: How to Keep Warm During Winter. It looks like they might be duplicates! On wikiHow, we consider two articles to be duplicates when their titles are practically interchangeable (even if the content is different). When we find a duplicate, we then work to make sure all the information ends up consolidated on one page, typically the one with the simpler, more commonly searched title. That way, our readers can find everything about that particular topic in one place.

If you agree that the title you started is a duplicate, you can help by adding your how-to advice to the other page. The duplicate page will likely get removed in about a week, and we don't want to lose all the great information you provided. If you don't think your article is actually a duplicate, feel free to leave a note on the discussion page (which you can find here) explaining why, and let me know, too. Sometimes we make mistakes, and we definitely don't want to delete it if it is different!

If you have any questions or need help with anything, just reply to this message. Thanks again for contributing!

You can't get ideas from articles already created because then that article you created would be a duplicate.

To add a video, see How to Embed a Video on wikiHow.

Yes. Part of being a booster is the ability to give rising stars to articles. There's a lot more to boosting besides giving rising stars, though. :)

Sorry to learn that. If it's any consolation, it's happened to many of us, me included. From it we learn to either save somewhere (you can press save draft down the bottom as you write) or write offline, the copy over. Whatever works best for you. Good luck!

"i don't really like hearing mean messages on my page. I was trying to talk to her but she continued the behavior. Please try to explain it better. The only offense was she was acting inappropriately on this website."

I would just politely ask the user to stop the behavior. Leaving a note such as "Please stop doing (whatever the behavior is) because (explain why the behavior is inappropriate). Thank you for your understanding" would suffice.

"about your first message after flicketies, its better that you leave me to this site. I know that it is called wiki how but i think i could even call it coco--cherry--puffs if i wanted to. But is wiki how a type of wikipedia just for learning how to do things?"

You can call wikiHow whatever you would like to call it :) No, wikiHow is not affiliated with Wikipedia, just a wiki how-to site, but we do have some things in common with Wikipedia. For instance, both websites are powered by MediaWiki.

"Also, I'm still fairly new, so its better i should receive kind messages even though i am a lot of days old"

I apologize if I was being mean. That wasn't my intention; I was just trying to offer advice that might help you become a better contributor. To my understanding, it is seen as a threat by the community to tell users that they will be blocked if they continue a certain behavior.

Hello. I don't want to be told what to do. I do know that I have been into everyones business lately but its better no one gets in the way. Trying to be kind, Jay

How is that even possible? If are listening to the above advice all of this would not be happening. Sorry, but wikiHow is a place for feedback as told :/

Actually, you need to focus on the comments also. If someone messages you feedback you have to read it, If you are talking wikiHow the patrolers won't have work to do, and you have nothing to worry.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for explaining your reasoning to me. Some situations are better off handled by administrators. For example, only administrators can block users. I hope you understand.

Adelaide

I'm not sure I understand what you mean - what's the vending machine?

Thanks for your edits on User_talk:Loiswade42.

Hello - I noticed you removed a comment on Lois' talk page. Please note that it is against policy to edit another user's user or talk page, so I reverted the comment originally back to what it was.

Thanks for contributing!

Meow-y wow-y. =^..^=

Stop with what? Giving feedback?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

No problem! if you were just trying to help out, any help at all is welcomed!

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the article.

We have articles for each of those goals. Try searching in the green bar at the top :)

Here in the search bar. For example, you can type in "wikiHow booster" and you'll see Become a New Article Booster on wikiHow on the list. The guides outline the responsibilities you'd be taking on and how to get there :)
