Personal info
Thanks for removing that phone number from my talk page. I am not sure the post here was right. It was fully of bold and warnings and, frankly, not correct as far as I know. We must not post personal info of others, but if users want to post their own, we can advise them not to, or even really discourage them. But, warning them that they may be blocked is a bit much. This is the only template I know about this, and it says nothing about posting one's own info. Anna F remote (talk) 00:46, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Anna,It was the only warning i could find about it, I could have just used the stop template though to tell him not to do it again, or i could've removed the "blocked from editing" part (which i have now done). I did think this policy applied to personal info about anyone, let alone ourselves, so thats why i gave out the warning. I could suggest at the Twinkle page that one could be made about revealing personal info, or i could make a "custom warning" about it (which i think is possible). I think the edit though may need to be suppressed though to avoid the user's phone number being misused. It is a UK mobile phone number, and I've heard a lot about nuisance calls in this country from rogue sellers to people impersonating others with higher authority, such as the bank or police, and then they can easily commit Fraud or other offences by taking their bank details. I don't think there is anyone on here who would do that, but just in case, i think it may be best to suppress the edit, but in this case, i think i may have to contact an user which has the Oversight right enabled. Is there a place, if needed to request for something to be suppressed? Class455fan1 (talk to me) 09:29, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Self-requested block
Hi Class455fan1. I saw your message at Bishonen's page. I'm not an admin, so i can't block you, but I can keep an eye on you, if you wish. May that be helpfull? Best regards, and succes with your exams! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Joshua, you could do that, but i am likely to check my watchlist during then, and that could make me edit (especially if one of my pages get vandalised) so i'd prefer a block (I'll definitely need another block when i take my GCSE's in May/June), also, it would be nice to see what its like to be blocked, but thanks for the offer.

refactoring others talk page comments
Hey mate, I know you meant well, but it is highly discouraged to edit other people's talk page comments, even if they have typos. Just thought you should know. --allthefoxes (Talk) 19:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Allthefoxes Wouldnt it help if we corrected grammar and typos made by others even on talk pages? Isn't refactoring others talk page comments removing them completely and editing them significantly? I don't think it counts with typo's. I sometimes do this on other peoples talk pages, and they don't mind. I was meant to describe what I changed but my iPhone submitted the edit before I could show what I changed. In your case, you said "you are write", (which is grammatically wrong) so when I saw this on my watchlist, I changed this. I thought you wouldn't mind. Class455fan1 (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Everyone is a little different, some people won't mind, some people will. It generally is considered rude which is why no-one does it. Since you really don't know who will mind and who won't. WP:TPO is where this is all mentioned. --allthefoxes (Talk) 19:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- This is what I don't get. I don't see how correcting other's talk page comments are considered as "rudeness". If someone fixed a typo on my page, I wouldn't mind. Even though it says that you shouldn't do this on WP:TPO, but I consider it a help to others (which is one of the things I'm here to do, other things include editing pages of course and to try and prevent vandalism, which you are doing a brilliant job of). Sometimes I do wonder about a few of the guidelines on wiki, they can be a bit crazy if I'm being honest. but I do like doing the above on the wiki. If I have more time, I would propose this guideline to be changed at the Village Pump because it's really intriguing how a simple little thing like correcting grammar for others in others comments are rude, but i am quite busy at the moment as I have a week to prepare for paper 2 of my maths GCSE, (I had the first today, so I have time off until tomorrow),so I'm under quite a lot of stress at the moment. So I might do this afterwards. Out of interest, are you one of those who consider this as "rude" or you don't mind and just wanted to give me the heads up for the future? Class455fan1 (talk) 19:56, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Class455fan1, please don't help people in ways that risk annoying them. The guideline WP:TPO says "It may irritate the users whose comments you are correcting", and that's the truth. Most people probably don't mind as you say, but if people should happen to be insecure about their English grammar or spelling, they are likely to feel your correction as a putdown. Tact is always better than unwanted helpfulness. For myself, the only person I ever correct is a close wikifriend who's dyslexic, and I know he doesn't mind. With everybody else I figure, better safe than sorry. Hope the exams are going well! Bishonen | talk 20:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC).

- Hi Bishonen ,thanks for the advice on that, I don't intend to annoy anyone but I never knew a few people were insecure about English Grammar. As I am from England, as you've probably figured, I do have the habit of fixing typo's (which is why they say in school that I'm one of the best at spelling), but i didn't think that annoyed people. The exams are going well thanks for asking, My two crucial exams in English Language and Maths have gone better than thought, however I am stressed right now (not because someone demoralised me earlier on a talk page comment here which I've removed, that did make me a little upset for about 2 minutes, till I said to myself "Don't let things like this bring you down") and not because David Bowie passed away today (I liked his music, and came as a shock when it was announced on the radio this morning at 7am that he died) , but because I have to start preparing for my maths paper 2 next Tuesday (as I said above) from tomorrow. Anyway, thanks for the advice and I will take this onboard 😀. Class455fan1 (talk) 21:13, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Your edit on My User Page
Hi, i have seen your edit on my User page you removed you right? But anyway this is to remember the person who edit that so I fan remember at all times. You are always the one you edit. If you revert One more time, I will Protect this page for sure.
It is ok to remove this message, please stop reverting you to remove you, unsigned comment by Profile101 on 16 January 2016 at 20:27.
- You can always look at the "history" of your page to see who has edited your page, so you do not need to list this in your user page. Also, you cannot protect your page, again, as I've said to you before, only administrators can. You are not an admin. However you can request for page protection, but this can only be granted if you can provide sufficient evidence that your user page is being vandalised (which is not caused by removing my name from your page, its only if someone attacks your user page)Class455fan1 (talk) 12:28, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Citing
hi Class455fan1
I understand the citing is important. but try to see that this person needs a public interview. Katie Couric is most likely going to do it. But bigger the journalistic name the better. He needs the media fighting to interview. him read his entry on wikipedia.
thanks,
Anan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jediyoda900 (talk • contribs) 14:41, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jediyoda900 You do need to prove that this interview will occur by providing a reliable source to back this up. In future, please add sources to articles. Also, some advice. Please remember to start new sections on talk pages when you started a new section, and please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by adding four tildes. I will send you a notice so you remember. Thanks Class455fan1 (talk) 15:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Akif Kichloo
Hi, my friend and room mate just created the Akif kichloo page as both of us are big fans. She did a lot of hard work to gather all the info and Mr Kichloo was kind enough to answer all the questions she had personally via email. I would really appreciate it if you removed the speedy deletion tag from that page as soon as possible. It would really be appreciated. Also, I appreciate you giving your time for the cause of wikipedia, but kindly don't hurt our feelings by tagging that page again. Much obliged. 59.89.5.40 (talk)Sarah! —Preceding undated comment added 10:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there. The article was tagged by another user because it wasn't notable. If you can provide sources for the article which are reliable, then it would probably stand a chance of staying. We are not allowed to remove CSD templates unless you are an Admin, but you can always contest the speedy deletion (basically to say I think this page should stay). All sources i can find are by himself. So it should be deleted because it fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines Class455fan1 (talk) 10:41, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Could you please check now and vote up the page. I have added a lot of references to prove notability.. thanks
- The sources are all self published by Kichloo, so they are not reliable sources. I stand by the proposed deletion. Class455fan1 (talk) 11:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- FYI - the CSD tag has been removed again and I have reinstated it. Just a note on what you said above - anyone, other than the article creator, is allowed to remove a CSD tag. Only admins can delete the page, of course. In this case the tag has been removed by an anonymous IP which is highly likely to be the creator but is not certain. Ultimately a reviewing admin will decide whether speedy deletion can go ahead in the circumstances. BC108 (talk) 15:15, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- BC108 Agreed. I think there may be some meatpuppetry going on here, because all the IP's are based in Kashmir, India, so it might be one person using three IP's. I will ask an admin to look at the page, because it clearly fails GNG, and see what they think. Class455fan1 (talk) 16:09, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- To Class455fan1 and his correspondents here: I'm afraid fame as a poet on social media platforms does not rise to notability for poets according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines,[13] nor does an upcoming book. Dr Kichloo is not yet notable for his medical research. I've deleted the article. Bishonen | talk 22:33, 17 January 2016 (UTC).
- Thanks, Bishonen. I thought this was the case all along. Class455fan1 (talk) 22:52, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Recent Vandalism on my pages
Thank you Bishonen and Anna Frodesiak for protecting my pages. This guy won't stop socking. I don't know how he is managing to create multiple accounts. And he is targeting mine and Bishonen's pages because we warned/blocked them in the past. I thought account creation is blocked on those who are blocked. Class455fan1 (talk) 13:38, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
- Probably open proxies, VPNs, IP tunneling, etc. It's whack-a-mole right now, unfortunately. Such charming people on the Internets these days. I've watchlisted your page in case they come back after protection is lifted... NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Inadvertent removal from AIV

- Nevermind, I fixed it. I used the wrong brackets and didnt realize it until too late. These simple little mess-ups are why I'm glad my RfA was unsuccessful. Buster Seven Talk 21:10, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
As long as I'm here let me take this opportunity to pose a request. If you go the above linked page you'll see a nomination, by me, of a new editor that is fighting vandals. You may recognize him, maybe not. I saw him busy today via recent changes and decided to use him as a representative of ALL vandal fighters (yourself included). Would you care to comment there or to second his nomination? I like serendipity. There was some reason I made the mistake and got here as a result. Buster Seven Talk 21:23, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Done. Class455fan1 (talk) 21:42, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Stub templates
The purpose of stub templates is to help classify very short articles into different types, so that they can be expanded by people who choose to work in certain areas. By convention, editors (and bots that track stubs) expect to find a stub template as the last item on an article. There is Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting which helps coordinate the efforts to categorise stubs. It is rarely helpful to add {{stub}} to an article, other than to indicate you're unsure which stub type to use (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types for a full list of accepted types). Hope that helps. --RexxS (talk) 13:41, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. However, i have seen lots of stub templates at the top of articles. And how are you supposed to know that the article has a stub template without scrolling right to the bottom? I will look out for this in future. Class455fan1 (talk) 15:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Well, one job you can do is to move those stub templates to the bottom of the article - maintenance bots will find them then. And don't forget to mention WP:SECTIONORDER in your edit summary to help other editors understand the agreed order of items on article pages. As for knowing without scrolling, you don't know. But why would anybody want to know? Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Take {{Bus-stub}} as an example; it puts the article where it is placed into the category Category:Bus stubs and that is where editors can go to find a list of stub articles related to buses. That's the real purpose of the stub template and the stub sorting system. If it were just a matter of classifying the article by quality, then the top of the article talk page is where a Wikiproject assesses an article as stub, start, C, B, etc. and we wouldn't need a stub template on the article itself. Hope that all makes sense to you. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 20:20, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

AIV error
Whatever you're up to, this is not the way to go about it. There is an OBVIOUS AIV issue here and the IPv6 editor has reported it appropriately. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:23, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Andy Dingley the initial report sent did not include anyone to report, and when I reverted for the second time only then he added in a person to report. Thought it was one of those IP's who mess up that page by sending duff reports. Class455fan1 (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- A look at the contribs history can clear this sort of thing up though. Maybe they totally bollocksed up the AIV posting, but they did have a good point to it and we should all try to help them out and get the broader goal met, not just find the small bureaucracy stuff to trip them up with. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Andy Dingley Right. All I saw on my diff browser was that there was no report there, or a description of why the user was being reported there. That's why I reverted. I was going to leave a message at their talk about what they were up to at AIV, but then I saw why the IP was reporting when he/she added the user in. It also seems that the IP has changed his report to another IP user! However, some people can make very easy errors on AIV. I once asked someone why they were removing reports from AIV, they replied it was done in error. The initial warning you gave me, I thought, was very harsh, but thanks for getting rid of it. I am one of those people who unintentionally make errors (and to find out why, looking at two of my user boxes may help). In this case I initially thought it was someone messing about, but turns out they were there for a reason only after the second time of asking. Class455fan1 (talk) 00:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

AfD vs PROD notice removal
Hi! I reverted two of your edits: [62][63] as this was a PROD and not an AfD template and the user can indeed remove it without explanation if they object. Just wanted to mention. Cheers. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 17:59, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for this @Hellknowz:. Just one question, can i place a PROD template using TW? Many thanks! Class455fan1 (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
