User talk:Unbroken Chain: Difference between revisions

You have come here because you need help, probably because I left you a comment that you find puzzling.

First: Don't panic! Wikipedia is not on a deadline. There are few things that can't be fixed by a dose of calmness and reasoned debate. If something looks wrong to you, instead of demanding it be fixed, try asking nicely why it was done. You'd be amazed how much more effective that is.

Here are some useful places to go:

• I'm confused! → Wikipedia:Help, the ever helpful help page.
• I'm being attacked! → Drop me a note and I'll see if I can help.
• My article got deleted! → Wikipedia:Why was my article deleted?; consider deletion review (please ensure that you bring credible arguments for restoration and resist the temptation to overdramatise the importance of the issue)
• I've been blocked! → edit your user talk page and add {{unblock|reason}} (that's a double curly-brace, the template name unblock, in lowercase, then a pipe character and the text of your request)
• My article is being vandalised! → you can request page protection, but remember that it's not actually your article.
• No, it's the article about me! → That's a big, serious problem. Go to Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem/Factual error (from subject) and send email.
• I need an admin! → There's not much an admin can do that a regular user can't. admin can delete articles (but only under limited circumstances), we can delete edits from history (but for permanent deletion of personal info or libel you need oversight, not a regular admin), admin can protect and unprotect articles and we can block users. admin block for:

• breaking the three-revert rule (report this at WP:AN/3RR)
• credible threats of harm (report this at the incident noticeboard)
• making substantive legal threats (this can go to the incident board as well)
• tendentious editing (but please, please go to dispute resolution first).

• Yebbut, I need actual help! → Well why didn't you say! :-) You can ask the members' assistance team, add {{helpme}} to your user talk page or try the help desk, it's only a click away...
