An offer

I am about to reply at a talk page to you, but I wanted to say this first: I would be happy to help you learn how to contribute here. Please contact me at my talk page with any questions. I think my talk page comment may disappoint you, as you are a new editor and the paragraph in question at Death of Wang Yue is one of your most significant contributions thus far. Jesanj (talk) 20:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome! I'm actually not new to Wikipedia, I just don't make edits very often. I have responded to your concerns on the talk page you mentioned. Badon (talk) 21:05, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Giant panda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chinese Panda coins (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.

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative

Hi Badon,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

So their opinion is welcome as long as it is support. Great. Prodego talk 05:55, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Instructions

I'm fine with having them, but they MUST be equally applied throughout the page. We can't have instructions on one section and not on others. Please don't revert me again. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 06:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to add the instructions for Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action, or should I? Do you think they should go in each section, or at the top of the page? Badon (talk) 06:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They should go at the top of the page, if they must be there. There are sufficient examples to follow, don't you think? This type of discussion is immensely preferable to blind reverts, especially when you could be accused of starting an edit war... Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 06:18, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
PS - and they can't lean toward one side or the other. So simply "support" is insufficient. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 06:21, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the top of the page is the best place to put the instructions. Since there is no explanation of the examples, there is nothing sufficient about it. Especially the automatically generated signatures. I added the instructions when I saw people trying to type out their signature. MediaWiki markup is one of the biggest barriers to participation, so a set of basic 1-liner instructions is not too much to grant to the newbies. Go ahead and move the instructions to the top of the page, so everyone knows how to add their vote. The people most affected by blackouts are readers who are completely clueless about editing, so engaging them is important. Badon (talk) 06:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Instructions have been removed again, but not moved to the beginning of the page. Did you want me to do it, or are you already working on it? Badon (talk) 06:35, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits by Badon

In one of your edit summaries you refer to the removal of fact-less phrases. Some of those you removed do refer to facts though. What is your rationale for removing the following:

'Several possible methods of wireless communication were considered, including inductive and capacitive induction and transmission through the ground, however the method used for radio today exclusively involves the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves'.

This states two facts: that EM waves are how radio works today but other methods were considered.

'After early speculation on the subject...'

Oersted's work did not come out of the blue there had been speculation on a connection between electricity and magnetism before him. Martin Hogbin (talk) 12:50, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
