User talk:Grapefanatic

I check this page often, any sections will be read and will most likely reply. Due to my curious nature I do check the user page and talk of everyone who edits my sandbox and talk page. I am usually only active from 12:15 UST-19:10 UST on the weekdays, and am almost never active during the weekends. Yes, the colouring of my signature is intentional.

Would you please provide your best guidance for citations/references? Thank you! --Transportation17 (talk) 23:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have personally never reached a situation in my editing time where I've added anything that needed a citation so the best I have is WP:CITE. Sorry. -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 12:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I create a citation that is accepted by Wikipedia's terms? Thank you! --Transportation17 (talk) 00:08, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I've given you all I could. I wish I could help more, but I can't. I'm truly sorry. But if you ask the same question at WP:TEA you will probably get better help. Sorry. -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 12:08, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Gardendcs (20:37, 12 April 2024)

Hi! I submitted an article for view. I am a member and have volunteered at Gibbs Gardens, not sure if that is a conflict of interest to disclose. the concept of 'conflict of interest' is confusing. there is so much more I could say but worked hard to keep things neutral and fact based and have lots of sources/citations. Any feedback is welcome. Thank you --Gardendcs (talk) 20:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taken from WP:COI, Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest. Someone having a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith. There are two "types" of COI; the first type is general (which is what was just described), and the second type is paid COI. Paid COI when you are being paid to edit an article. -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 13:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General COI is disclosed by using this template --> {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}} . Paid COI is disclosed using this template --> {{Connected contributor (paid)|User1=Username of the paid editor|U1-employer=Name of person/organization that is paying for the edits|U1-client= Name of client|U1-otherlinks=Insert diff to disclosure on your User page.}} . -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 13:51, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Yostgreen39 (00:18, 24 April 2024)

Wondering how to point out and correct inaccuracies in an article that are not based on published facts when the correct facts are published and can be verified? --Yostgreen39 (talk) 00:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hmm {{cn}}> should point out that there are citations needed. That unfortunately is all I can provide you at this moment in time. In the meanwhile, you can go ask WP:Teahouse. -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 12:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about how to revert vandalism/how to block a user from vandalism.

Hello! I only just recently started editing Wikipedia pages, and I have gotten to the point where I have begun to make larger edits or edits on larger pages.

I am just curious about how to handle pages/text that gets vandalised. Is there a quick way to reverse the damage, or will you need to copy/paste the info again?

I have also seen that some users have been blocked from their wiki account for vandalism, so I am just curious as to how it happens/who can do it!

Thanks for reading! FreckleTheCat (talk) 00:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah!! This is a very good question and I would be glad to answer it for you. You can undo vandalism with the "Undo" button, in which it will show you what you will be undoing so you can be sure that you wish to undo it, the next step is to type in an edit summary for the reason of removal, and finally you can click the confirmation button. -- Grapefanatic (Talk) 12:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
