Hi Ans, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. Here are a few suggestions you might find useful:
- First, check out the tutorial and learn how to write a great article
- Find out more about what Wikipedia is and how it works
- Check out the manual of style and maybe the picture tutorial if you're interested in adding images to your articles
- Write from a neutral point of view, use wikiquette, and last but not least, be bold!
- Check out the community portal if you're looking for something to do.
- Finally, feel free to contact me at my talk page if you have any questions! Remember to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 11:47, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Test category
[edit]I noticed that you had created a category called Category:User:Ans/Forum. It hasn't been used in a while, so if you don't object, I'm going to put it up for deletion. If you still think that it is useful, let me know. --Cswrye 20:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I understand that people reading printouts cannot follow links. But since Wikipedia is not a paper encylopedia, that's OK. —mako๛ 16:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Actually, this was a linkfarm; an article having any number of incoming links doesn't make it immune to deletion, and the article consisted almost entirely of external links - Wikipedia is not a directory. An article on this subject could exist, but not in the form it had when it was deleted. --Coredesat 22:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- When someone later rewrite it into an appropriate form, all of its deleted revisions can be undeleted? (Wikipedia:Deletion_review#History-only_undeletion) --Ans 04:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, I can do that. --Coredesat 11:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, nothing is permanently deleted from the database. --Coredesat 02:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:EnLanguageName
[edit]A tag has been placed on Template:EnLanguageName requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes.
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 8
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Scanlation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anglophone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

[edit] Hello, I'm Darius robin. An edit that you recently made to iOS seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Darius robin (talk) 09:44, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- It is not test. I really intent to made it to use values from wikidata --Ans (talk) 09:46, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
3RR
[edit]You have been around rather a long time, so I'm not giving you the 'standard template' warning here. However, I would like to draw your attention to WP:3RR. You have now arguably reverted iOS three times in 24 hours and are in danger of violating WP:3RR. I strongly suggest refraining from any more reverts for at least 24 hours, then perhaps discussing the issue on the article's talk page. Note that I have not implied that your edits are incorrect. It's possible they are correct. It's also possible they were incorrect earlier in the day, but the wikidata has changed and so they are now correct. I'm not implying anything about the accuracy of your edits, only pointing out that you have now (arguably) reverted three times. --Yamla (talk) 01:43, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Yamla: Thank you for your warning. However, I think my reverts should not count to 3, since they are reverts in different circumstances. The first 2 reverts is for those edits that their editor misunderstood that my edits is a test, while the 3rd revert is for the changed template.
- In additions, the reverts to revert misunderstood editors should never count in 3RR.
- The reverts for changed template should also not count, since it is technical revert, not disputed revert.
- --Ans (talk) 02:27, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- It is my understanding that template alterations can be previewed in context using an additional text entry box at the bottom of the template editing page. Is this a possible solution for what you are trying to do? Samsara 14:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Edit warring in the Template namespace
[edit]Hello
You are engaged in edit warring in Template:Infobox OS. You have added poor buggy code to this template and seem to have taken it a personal offense that two other editors have reverted you.
Please be advise that edit warring in Template namespace is not as tolerated as it is in other namespaces. This is your first and last warning: The next time you revert, I will report you.
Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 11:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Codename Lisa:
- Which bugs you seen in my code? Please show or explain them.
- I'm not offense the revert of User:FleetCommand, he just point the problem that my edit add undocumented parameters unintentionally. I just explain that it is my intention to add new parameters, and the document will be updated later. I never offense him.
- My revert to User:FleetCommand seem to resolve his dispute (since he misunderstand my edit, which lead to mistaken revert), so why you count this revert as edit war?
- For the revert of User:Darius robin, he does not give any explanation why my edits has problem. So how can I point out why he disagree with my edits?
- No reason given in Darius robin's revert, so how can I resolve his concern? How can I point out his concern?
- It seem that Darius robin use Twinkle to revert my edit. According to Wikipedia:Twinkle#Abuse, "Anti-vandalism tools, such as Twinkle, Huggle, and rollback, should not be used to undo good-faith changes unless an appropriate edit summary is used.", so it seem that he abuse the use of Twinkle.
- If my revert is edit warring, but why your and other reverts that revert my edits is not counted as edit warring?
- FleetCommand, Darius robin, and you also revert the un-disputed/stable contributions since 2015 without explaination. Why not count your reverts as poor reverts?
- --Ans (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- You have added three faulty and unhandled parameters to the template:
|fetchwikidata=
,|suppressfields=
,|onlysourced=
. You don't even realize that you did that. - Darius robin reverted you without an edit summary because your contribution is so bad that everyone with a smidge of knowledge knows it is damaging.
- Hell, you don't even indent your message here properly. Editing templates is certainly beyond your current expertise. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 07:53, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- You have added three faulty and unhandled parameters to the template:
@Codename Lisa:- As I said in the edit summary, it is my intention to add those 3 new paramaters to template. What did you mean unhandled? The default blank value of those paramaters is handled properly in Module:WikidataIB.
- I know how to indent, but sometimes I prefer flat thread discussion, especially when the thread does not fork. The indents waste the screen space unnecessarily when the thread does not fork.
Can I say, it is rather you that personally offense me?- Do you really study Module:WikidataIB used in my edit? Do you really understand how those parameters work in that module? People with smidge knowledge may not know how those parameters work, so you cannot say that "everyone with smidge knowledge knows it is damaging". Mistakenly saying that "everyone with smidge knowledge knows it is damaging" may imply that you not understand how those parameters work at all. Hell, it is your party that don't even realize how those 3 parameters work. You have poor knowledge of it and poorly revert my positive contributions.
- --Ans (talk) 13:27, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Why are you pinging Codename Lisa? I, FleetCommand, said all those things.
- You don't even know who sends you messages. You are too stupid to edit templates.
- Also, "offense" is a noun. The verb is "offend".
- FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 18:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
@Codename Lisa:, I know that you send the messages, but what wrong that I also ping you here?- You always go off-topic. You never answer my question if you have studied the WikidataIB module or not, this discussion tend to go nowhere. You repeatedly offend me personally.
- --Ans (talk) 07:46, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- @FleetCommand:, Sorry, It's really my mistake not notice who actually answer me. I apologize for that. --Ans (talk) 09:30, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- @FleetCommand:,
- In addition, Darius robin, not only revert my edits, but at the same time his edits also revert this un-disputed/stable contributions since 2015 (as I've already pointed out above) without explaination. You could not explain why he give no edit summary for the revert of this 2015 contributions.
- --Ans (talk) 09:44, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello.
This is Codename Lisa this time.
I warned you that if you revert again, I will report you.
You reverted again. So, I reported you to WP:AN3.

[edit]Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

Dab pages
[edit]Hi Ans!
I have a few comments to your edits at the disambiguation page Trang. As you can see, both User:Shhhnotsoloud and I have referred to the guideline MOS:DAB in our edit summaries. If you are planning to make more edits to dab pages, it would be wise to use some time to get to know the dos and don'ts about dabs. Shhhnotsoloud is an experienced editor who specialise in dab pages. I have also learned quite a bit, mostly from my own many errors until I studied the guideline.
The entry for Mueang Trang District should probably not be included. The specific rule is covered in the section "Partial title matches", see WP:PARTIAL: Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion between them.
The entry linking to Trang, Thailand should not show up as "Trang City" in the list. The piping [[Trang, Thailand|Trang City]]
is not recommended, as described in the section "Piping and redirects", see WP:DABPIPE: Apart from the exceptions listed below, piping and redirects should generally not be used on disambiguation pages.
I cannot see that any of the exceptions mentioned covers this use. If it is important to include the word "city" in order to help finding the right page, that should be included in the descriptive text behind the link itself, something like [[Trang, Thailand]], city and capital of Trang province
. However, a capital is usually taken to be a city, so it may be redundant.
Also, the descriptive additions "(thesaban nakhon Trang)" and "also called Mueang Thap Thiang" should not be included. The purpose of the dab page is to help people navigate to the page they are looking for. If they end up in the dab page when they are looking for the article about the city, they should be directed to the right page, where they will find the additional information. Having such additional information here will not help them easier to the right page.
Finally, the entry for "Trang River" should not be included unless you can link to an article that contains additional information about the river. The relevant section is "Red links", see WP:DABRED: A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should be included on a disambiguation page only when a linked article (not just other disambiguation pages) also includes that red link.
Hope this was useful. Regards! --T*U (talk) 14:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- @TU-nor: Mueang is romanization of Thai word "เมือง" meaning "town", so "Mueang" is the generic part as does "North" in "North Carolina". This apply to almost every capital districts in Thailand provinces. Also, people in Thailand (many times) refer Mueang Trang district to as Trang --Ans (talk) 16:24, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- @TU-nor: Without the descriptive additions "(thesaban nakhon Trang)" and "also called Mueang Thap Thiang", many Thai people including Trang people, cannot navigate to the page they are looking for. When they are looking for article about "thesaban nakhon Trang" or "Mueang Thap Thiang", many of them don't realize that it is a "city" that they are looking for. --Ans (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- I am not quite convinced that Mueang Trang District belongs in the list. If, as you say, it is often referred to as just "Trang", it would be fine, but in that case I would expect this to be mentioned in the target article, which it is not. In that case, the entry should read something like
Trang, sometimes used for [[Mueang Trang District]]
. - Your solution for Trang River is fine. If anything, I could suggest a piping of the bluelink like this:
[[Trang River]], a river in [[Trang Province#Geography|Trang Province]]
. - Your arguments for including the descriptive additions does not really hold water, especially the "thesaban nakhon Trang" part. This is English Wikipedia, meant for people who understand English. If they do not know what a city is, why should they be looking for an article in English language?
- Your edit summary
"Trang, Thailand" is the title that ambiguous with Trang province, that article should be moved to "Trang (city)"
is an argument for moving the article to a new name, but not for going against WP:DABPIPE. You may, of course, try to change the title through a "Requested move", see WP:RM, but the piping[[Trang, Thailand|Trang (city)]]
is not in line with MOS:DAB unless you get a consensus for such move. --T*U (talk) 20:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
