User talk:SwineHerd

Hello, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like it here! Here are a few important links for newcomers:

If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.

Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.

Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Comma after year per MOS

Just a heads up - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump&diff=750592793&oldid=750590912]. ―Mandruss ☎ 18:55, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Closing AfDs

If someone other than the nominator has supported deletion, the nomination can't be withdrawn. The nominator can change his/her !vote, but the discussion stays open. AfD is typically a difficult, fraught space, and someone with as few edits as you have closing a discussion means there's always good cause to raise an objection if anyone disagrees with you. I'd strongly recommend participating in many more discussions before attempting a close. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Let's reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement!

Hi SwineHerd, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 15:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Old Arkansas City High School]]

Hi SwineHerd. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but with only 123 edits to mainspace you are almost certainly not yet sufficiently informed of Wikipedia policies and guidelines to be commenting in maintenance areas. Get more experience by patrolling for vandalism: when you have made 200 mainspace edits you can enroll at the WP:CVUA and learn all about it and how to obtain a special user right. Happy editing!

A survey to improve the community consultation outreach process

Hello!

The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.

The privacy policy for this survey is [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation_in_Partial/Temporary_Office_Actions_consultation_2019 here]. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.

Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:45, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

World oil market chronology from 2003

I didn't understand why you made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_oil_market_chronology_from_2003&type=revision&diff=952703446&oldid=952694229 this change] until I read [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1056#Weight_of_scientific_opinion_over_lore this]. I didn't see how what you did was an improvement, but this makes it clearer.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
