E

does infact equal mc^2.

I don't know if you directly contributed, but one of your previous messages at the Teahouse really helped me out. Thank you so much, L.E. Rainer 04:05, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @Luke Elaine Burke nice to hear that I was able to help! I have been seeing you around the wiki and the Teahouse, you're doing great. Your welcome, and feel free to ask any questions. CF-501 Falcon (talk) 14:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to propose deletion

Although I "fixed" the article you brought to the Teahouse, I didn't really answer your "how to" question and that won't help you in the future. WP:PROD gives instructions for proposing a deletion. To make that task easier (as well as many other tasks), have you considered enabling WP:TWINKLE? It's an incredibly useful tool for (1) proposing deletion (prod), (2) nominating for deletion (AfD), (3) reverting multiple consecutive edits, (4) warning or welcoming other editors, (4) adding maintenance tags to articles, (5) nominating for speedy deletion (CSD), (6) requesting page protection, (7) reporting an editor for vandalism or edit-warring, and (8) reporting a possible sock-puppet (SPI). Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 17:58, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will look at the Twinkle tool. It seems helpful. Once again, Thank you so much. Do you recommend anything specific to get used to the back-end of Wikipedia? Thank you, CF-501 Falcon (talk) 18:30, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I spent my first active year reading everything—following every link someone mentioned in a discussion, going through tons of talk pages, digging into archives. Other than that, the only thing that helps is time (experience). There's the written back-end (policies, guidelines, etc.) to learn, but also the communal back-end (how the community interprets and applies those policies, guidelines, etc.). You only have to get as involved as you want. Anyway, feel free to ping me anytime you have a question, I'll do my best to help. Schazjmd (talk) 18:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then, Thank you for the advice. I will definitely ping you if I have any questions. CF-501 Falcon (talk) 01:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Still in school?

You still in school? If you dont mind me asking, which grade are you? (Dont answer if you feel uncomfortable). I'm in school too. Warriorglance (talk) 07:40, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Warriorglance Yes, I am in school. I won't tell you specifics but I am in highschool (Second Standard, Plus One and Plus Two.). Which grade are you?
I have exams and won't be able to guarantee a speedy response, hence the notice. I will still keep chugging away at the Syriac Orthodox Church article (It isn't going to get itself to GA). CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:03, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@CF-501 Falcon I was just curious becoz your exams kinda coincide with my class 10 boards. I kinda have to start studying, but it's hard to get out of wikipedia!

Agreed, I might be a addict to Wikipedia! CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 21:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
