elcome to Wikipedia Depthburg, from WikiProject Editor Retention | |||
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.
Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you. | |||

At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by pressing or in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Reference errors on 30 November
[edit]Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
- On the Townville Elementary School shooting page, your edit caused a URL error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:26, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Duplicate ref definitions
[edit]Hello. You are creating duplicate ref definitions at 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. There is no reason to do this. I will revert your edits. Thank you. ―Mandruss ☎ 04:15, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Now I see you have been doing this in lots of articles. I will try to locate and revert all of what you have done so far. Please don't do any more. You are accomplishing nothing except increasing the size of the wiki code and creating duplicate entries in the References sections. Thank you. ―Mandruss ☎ 04:40, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Okay thank you!

December 2016
[edit]Hello, I'm John "Hannibal" Smith. I noticed that you recently removed some content from List of school shootings in the United States without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If you're not sure what something is, then don't revert. You need a good reason to delete that much text. Monasteries have schools within. Hannibal Smith ❯❯❯ 03:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Alright thank you, that was my main doubt with the text as I didn't know monasteries could be schools.

Hi
[edit]I've deleted your Draft, but under G7 (one author request) rather than A7 (db-person). The A class criteria only apply in article space, and not in user space or Draft: space. Your draft looked quite well constructed, and if the notability level rises, just ask me to restore it. Peridon (talk) 12:00, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, I won't be asking anytime soon. Depthburg (talk) 12:15, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Onision
[edit]Articles in general and Biographies of living persons in particular should be based on reliable sources. Citing youtube videos from Onision himself is using WP:Primary sources, which is generally a bad idea, but more so in the case f a YouTuber not renowned for hislove of the Truth in all its majestic glory.

Southern California Edison shooting
[edit]Hello, I have a question about the motive for this shooting. It involves SOX. I am having an issue and think you could help me resolve it. Also let me know if we could speak over the phone it would be good. Thank you! lohmeyel Lohmeyel (talk) 18:00, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hello there, unfortunately we can't talk on the phone but I'd like to clarify with you the motive. Andre Turner had a civil lawsuit on his hands (a lawsuit that involves contracts and stuff) and he was being sued. He was also reprimanded by his boss for a Sarbanes Oxley Audit finding which sounds super complex to debunk. But that is the simplified overview. I'm sorry if it sounds like I repeated the Wikipedia article (his motives are very complex!), check articles on it. Depthburg (talk) 10:39, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you so much for responding. There is reason to believe that some SCE managers use SOX against employees that question managers or that they blame employees for SOX violations that they themselves have committed. I would like to know if this was the case with Andre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lohmeyel (talk • contribs) 14:46, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Andre was accused by his boss according to Los Angeles Times. Depthburg (talk) 11:13, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
