Dearest Atcovi

I am very sorry, I can't do that. I'm just trying to teach little kids facts. They need to know that future generations (in billions of years) will probably die from the lack of moon.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Hi, no problem. Happy to know your intentions--but writing on wikibooks should be formal and not informal (saying the "moon is made out of cheese. jk" is not acceptable here), see Wikibooks:Manual_of_Style. Also, do you yourself have a source for this claim? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Atcovi,

I do understand why you blocked me. But I beseech you, my contributions are helpful. Though it may not seem like it kids need entertainment. Now, I understand this isn't the point of your website. It's meant to teach them something. But remember this isn't Wikipedia! You are not trying to appeal to a general audience, but instead a specific one. Kids ages twelve and younger need stimulation in their brain. Without it, learning is boring. Because of this, add in jokes. Don't be bland. I mean, you say that everything write here should be "formal," but come on! Kids aren't formal! They want something that to make them laugh. Sure, teach them in the process.

When you were a second grader, would you walk in the room and be delighted by a teacher with a straight face who said "let's flip open to page 203 kids."

Know I'm not trying to change how you run this website, but please consider what knowledge I have to offer.

Sincerely,

Hi Anonymous Helper. I don't have time as of right now to provide a detailed response (I will do so in the future), but I can say that changing a cookbook to Bear Spit is not appropriate. "Cookbooks" are not necessarily aimed for children, so I don't understand your point of "jokes" here. BTW, this is not my website. Rather I'm only a regular volunteer here, just like you. Looking forward to more responses from you :) --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 18:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Atcovi Essay Corrections

Key Points

Not to turn down user’s

Actually, it's users'. This is because it is belonging to more than one user. User's would be implying that only one user had an opinion.

for their opinions, or call them “immature” for their opinion, whether against Wikipedia or not. Unless they are just throwing out insults or hostile.

DISCUSS issues with editors, rather than revert there

You used the wrong their. You said there, when really it's their. Their is talking about something owned by them, while there is describing a location or existence of an object.

edits and threaten to block them. In とある白い猫's essay on Wikipedia, it stated that User’s

Same thing as before. Words that end with s have to have the apostrophe after the s. Also, users can't be capitalized because you're not addressing them directly. For example, "I'm coming Mom!"

would add France, Italy, and Spain under Germany or Nazi, then their edits be reverted and the reverter would warn the user/threatens to block them with no discussion whatsoever. 

• Common Sense
• Civility
• Be able to help.
• Forgive and Forget.
• Friendly towards new comers,

Newcomers is one word.

don't bite them for there wrong/incorrect edits.

• Any signs of children editing WMF, they should be tutored in a patient, sensible environment.

Examples

Atcovi is patrolling the Recent Changes, then finds this edit by Haslantis.

Errors

Atcovi did not provide an edit summary to his revert. Without a reason, Haslantis might look through this revert. He probably doesn't know what he did wrong. Since this user is new, he possibly thinks it's an accident and add's his reverted changes back. It's always needed for a reason why you reverted an edit so the user (when notified about the revert) can see what he did wrong, and maybe discuss with the user.

Good Choices

Atcovi founds out that Haslantis has added his reverted changes back to the page. This is a wrong part on Haslantis's part, but since he is new, he probably did not know what to do. And seeing that Atcovi did not give a reason to his revert, Haslantis might've thought that he reverted the edit on accident.

Now in response to this, he didn't revert his edits and dropped a warning template on his head. He instead left it there, then discussed with the user on what he is doing here, and why it's important. The best part is, Haslantis responds to his question. There, Atcovi gives him the "ok' text.

Who knew? If Atcovi was a stubborn editor he might have reverted his edits and dropped a warning template repeatedly on his talk page. Haslantis might have gotten frightened by this, and leave Wikibooks.

But maybe if Atcovi didn't bite the newcomer, this "newcomer" could've turned into one of the best editors on this site. Helping with a lot of the maintenance, involved in discussions, and started over 5 wikijunior books.

Plans

• This essay be acknowledged.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Did you mean, may this essay be acknowledged? Or maybe, this essay is acknowledged?

Ideas

1. Patrol ] to find any signs of PoV users who violate Wikipedia's PoV policy, child "vandals", and editors who are just clueless, then leave them a message suggesting that they take there editing "bags" and move over to Wikiversity, where they can write articles from there point of view, which is permitted on Wikiversity, or (for clueless editors) learn the "Wiki Ways" at Wikiversity.

Haha, yeah. My grammar back then wasn't the best--and it still isn't the best! Thanks for the corrections! I don't pay attention that essay no-more, really. It's just there for historical purposes. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Also, I saw your recent edits on the big cats book on Wikijunior. Please note we don't tolerate copyright violations here. Your own words. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
