To start here, please start the message here below. I will be archiving all the messages every month even few messages.
May 2016
[change source]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to change things here, but talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion. Deleting or changing good comments, as you did at User talk:GTX1975, should not be done, even if you meant it well. Even fixing spelling and grammar in others' comments is usually advised against, because it can irritate the users whose wrote them. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about how you can help build this encyclopedia. Thank you. User:Rus793 (talk) 15:41, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Guideline
[change source]Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you made, Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2016/User:GTX1975, did not meet our rules for new pages, so it has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any tests. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about changing. Thank you. If you really want your user page deleted, please use the appropriate quick deletion option. Besides that, I believe creating this page violated the restriction that you are not to create pages. @Chenzw: Did you intend for your restriction to include all pages, or just articles? --Auntof6 (talk) 09:03, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: the restriction applies to mainspace only, where most of the problem is at. Chenzw Talk 10:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Archiving Advice
[change source](this was an active conversation so has been restored to this talk page)
Please read Wikipedia:Talk page. You should not be archiving every message. Archiving is for when the talk page gets too large to navigate. Some editors get so many messages they see the need to archive their talk pages every month or so. Other editors may archive two or three times a year. The purpose of a talk page is for other editors to communicate with you and you with them. It is also so other editors can see what has been discussed already. It is a record of conversations you have had with other members of the community. It is not a good idea to start a new topic as an answer to an earlier topic. It confuses everyone. Try to keep all the messages back and forth in the same thread (series of conversations on the same subject). Other editors may also wish to join a communications you may have had with others. They may have a comment even weeks later. If you have questions about how to keep your talk page in order, please ask here. Or, you can post a message to Wikipedia:Simple talk and ask for help from the community. Please leave this and other threads in place on your talk page for the time being. If you have any questions or comments regarding this subject, please answer directly below under this same topic. Please indent and sign your comments so the conversation is easier to follow. Thanks for understanding. User:Rus793 (talk) 14:34, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- Each year I need 24 archives in 12 months, and I will usually archive all those messages if they do not reply to me. Because I may find it very messy, because if I got so many messages like 50 messages, when I say Change Source, I have to scroll and scroll. Because sometimes I may edit two or more discussions to save time.GTX (talk) 15:05, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oh come on, is going to end of April 2016, i have to archive. And my time is Singapore Time then yours. Which my time is 8 hours ahead from yours. And I will usually archive every one week to one month.GTX (talk) 15:07, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- This is still an active thread and belongs here on your talk page. Please stop archiving active conversations. And please stop changing the discussions that are archived. Discussions are held here on the talk page, not in archives. Again, you do not need to archive every month, every week, or every conversation. Archiving is generally done when a talk page gets too large to comfortably navigate and the conversations have reached an end (for example, as in both parties agreeing to something). When other editors want to comment on your talk page you should politely reply back. And please give other editors—who are often busy or do not edit every day—a reasonable period of time to respond back. As in days or even weeks, not minutes. This isn't instant messaging. What you are doing is very disruptive. Other editors are trying to help you understand how things work on this project. Ignoring their messages (which is what you do when archiving an open discussion or a new comment) is not at all helpful and is not being collaborative. See if you can answer each editor as they offer help or have concerns. Please restore the rest of the recent postings back to this talk page as they were written. This is not only for the purpose of other editors communicating with you but also so other editors who may wish to add a remark can see what has already been said on a subject. If there is any part of this you do not understand, please ask. Thank you. User:Rus793 (talk) 15:35, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I have read your comment about having to 'scroll and scroll'. If you will allow several sections to say on this talk page (I believe it is four) a table of contents will appear (see my page: User talk:Fylbecatulous). Then you can just click on the section you need to edit and you land right there without scrolling down. You can also add a command: __FORCETOC__ at the top of this page and you will have always have a table of contents for any number of sections. I rarely archive and yet have been involved in many discussions over three-and-a-half years. Please pay attention to what instructions are given and do them. We are a small group of editors and we all notice what each other is doing. If one continues to cause disruption, it will not be long before there is a more formal complaint. This is because we do this for the enjoyment and to make good edits. Thanks, Fylbecatulous talk 16:35, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
┌─────────────────────────────────┘
(change conflict) I agree with Rus. Please stop archiving so often. There is no need to archive on a specific schedule.
You mention people not replying; you have to give more time for people to reply, because most people aren't on Wikipedia all day long and have things to do in real life that keep them from getting back here for a while.
You mention having to scroll a lot to get to a message you want to edit. You should be able to edit an individual section instead of the whole page. Look for [ change ]
to the right of the heading for the section you want to edit, and click on that.
Did you know you can set up your talk page so that a bot automatically archives it? The bot archives individual sections based on how much time has gone by since there were posts in them. For example, you can tell the bot to archive sections that haven't had posts in two weeks. Let me know if you would like help setting that up. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Could anyone please protect my userpage?
[change source]Hi, that IP which I didn't geolocated yet has vandalized my talkpage. I'm Tax not Sex and i'm only 22 years and I didn't born in 2090 i born in 1993! And I didn't live in Brazil, I lived in Singapore!!!!! Admin, please semiprotect my userpage for 1 month.GTX (talk) 03:04, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Chenzw for blocking that two IP users. And i gelocate they are from Kenya, Africa.GTX (talk) 03:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have semiprotected your user page. You asked for 1 month, but it's OK to have it permanent, so I made it permanent. If you really want only one month, let me know and I will change it. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I hate indefinitely semipotected, changed it to 1 month instead. 1 month is the maximum for my userpage to be protected. And i'll request you to change to 1 month protection.GTX (talk) 04:35, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- OK, I have changed it to one month. I only made it permanent because that's what we've done with all the other protected user pages. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks!GTX (talk) 04:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The only person who is supposed to change your userpage is you (unless someone is fixing a problem or vandalism, of course). Since you are still able to change your userpage while it is semiprotected, and given the amount of vandalism it recently had, it seems odd that you would not want to leave it protected against vandalism.

RfD nomination of Template:Pp-sock
[change source]An editor has requested deletion of Template:Pp-sock, an article you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2016/Template:Pp-sock and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much. Chenzw Talk 06:37, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- But how would they know on my userpage was protected, because some people may thinks that no protection lock can still edit, including those semiprotect the Pages, that previously Admin have protect my page for 1 month. And no padlock.GTX (talk) 08:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- If people think that they can still edit even if there is no protection lock, that is their problem, not yours. If a page is semi-protected, only registered users will be able to edit that page. Chenzw Talk 10:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Archiving: new restriction
[change source]GTX1975, I am giving you a new restriction. You are not to manually archive your talk page any more. I am making this restriction because your last archive removed information about the restriction that Chenzw placed on you. Removing talk page content about current restrictions is not allowed. If you violate this restriction, you will be blocked from any editing here. If you want to set up automated archiving, that would be fine as long as the archive waits a reasonable amount if time before archiving. I think waiting at least two weeks would be reasonable. --Auntof6 (talk)
- As it was stated on top of the talkpage, or shall I modify my duration of each archive? Which choice you want me to choose?
- 1. 2 weeks, as normal
- OR
- 2. Monthly
- Which want you want me to choose? I'll change it myself. Your choice is now my decision now.GTX (talk) 09:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure you understand how automated archiving works. You would add code at the top of your talk page saying how old a section must be before it is archived. The archiving bot would see that code. If you specify two weeks, the bot would archive any section that hadn't been posted to in at least two weeks. You can read more about it in the documentation at User:MiszaBot/config. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:26, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oh so that's what you mean, Well well well, my archive duration says Archive 1 is 14 April to 30 April while Archive 2 is 1 May to 15 May and Archive 3 is between 16 May and 31 May. So now's the meaning. So now i have to choose which one, 15 days or monthly. So now's that is the meaning.GTX (talk) 09:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oh come on, Sandbox I have to have many sections. Each archive for sandbox is 30, if is 30 sections and users still never read. I best to wait ot put other thing else. So mean only Admin can create pages?GTX (talk) 09:44, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oh well, this section will keep it for the long time. I don't know when can I removed this section because they says if i remove it, and I'll get blocked?GTX (talk) 09:53, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- And i want to get back to my own English Wikipedia, because it cannot edit own talk page on my original Wikipedia which I have been edited.GTX (talk) 09:57, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Blocked
[change source]Once the block has ended you can make helpful changes. Please read Wikipedia's blocking policy and remember that adding spam, making changes that do not have a neutral point of view, making personal attacks on others, not respecting other people's privacy, and vandalizing pages are not allowed. If you do any of these things, you will be blocked again.
If you think this block is unfair, you can ask to be unblocked by adding {{Unblock|your reason here}} below. If you cannot do this or the reason is private please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. Auntof6 (talk) 09:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Then writing Sandbox sections is the best right?
[change source]Well, if I cannot allowed to create pages for meantime, then now my sandbox have to create a lot of archives just in case if they are free. The sections for each archive is 30 sections. So if I were unblocked. And i'll prepare to set what sections as a pages. Let me think first. Making it to edit and improve. I don't know when can I create an actual article on Wikipedia?GTX (talk) 09:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- You should not create archives for the sandbox. I am not sure if you even understand what "archive" means. If you want to have different articles in your sandbox, then create multiple sandbox pages. Chenzw Talk 10:13, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Well archive means remove it from the mail well archive means transferring things to another place. Now i cannot create Wikipedia pages anymore! That's my problem, you mean only Admins can do it? But anyway my archive always takes about 15 - 16 days.GTX (talk) 12:03, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Creating multiple sandbox pages? How to do it? That's sounds interesting.GTX (talk) 12:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- It may sound interesting, but please don't create more than a few of them. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Why can't wikipedia can create pages, i want to have 1000 creation pages for the next few months or years. And thanks for replying me.GTX (talk) 03:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to say, but your grammar isn't very good and I don't understand what you're saying. You definitely don't need to be thinking about creating a lot of pages, especially until your grammar improves. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:04, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

My Grammar is improved!
[change source]Hello you don't know my grammar is improved. And what do you mean don't need to create a lot of pages? I want to help the younger children to know because their young children may be complicated to read. And you know now I'm restricted from archiving. But my archive always takes about 15 - 16 days to be archive. Not One month, this year i need 17 archives and following year is 24 archives. And my grammar was already improved!GTX (talk) 04:23, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- This user needs to many restrictions, and I need to get back to Normal English Wikipedia, because all these users stop me from doing it. Did you know this is very important!GTX (talk) 04:25, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Look, I'm going to speak very plainly here. Your English grammar is not good. If it's better than it used to be, then congratulations -- English is a difficult language to learn. However, right now your grammar is still not good enough to write articles here without having them checked by other users.
You also don't know how to do some things here correctly. For example, this section on your talk page should not have been a separate section. It should have been part of the section above, because it is a reply to something there. Another example is that you don't know how to archive your talk page correctly. You should not archive conversations that are not finished.
If you really want to contribute to articles here, then first learn how to write in simple English, and learn how to format articles here. Then work on the articles you have already written. They need their grammar fixed and they need to be changed to use our standard formatting.
If you don't do those things, you might end up with an indefinite block here, just like you have on English Wikipedia. According to our policy, you could be indefinitely blocked here right now, because you are indefinitely blocked on another Wikipedia and you are causing problems here. However, we are trying to work with you to help you make good contributions here. I suggest you cooperate if you want to continue editing here. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:32, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: thank you! But actually you're wrong, on English Wikipedia because of sockpuppetry of Profile101 but i'm not. But anyway I write in Simple English. But which section are you referring to? Ok never mind, duration maximum for this section is 5 days. After 5 days, i'll close this section. But don't forget on 15 May 2016, at the end of the day i'll archive it. I'll set the duration now. And properly my English Wikipedia is Blocked due to sockpuppetry not No Good. Actually i will set the template User:En-N. I'll update my userbox again. Since you're 15 hours ahead for this season, so i know you're sleeping.GTX (talk) 06:32, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for reverting, and reply to meGTX (talk) 07:06, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not wrong. I said you were blocked indefinitely, and you are. Account GTX1975 on English Wikipedia is indefinitely blocked. I just looked. The reason doesn't matter.
- As for the "duration maximum" for a section, there is no such thing. You cannot close a talk page section. Furthermore, you have been told not to manually archive your talk page because doing that is disruptive.
- You can user the User:En-N template if you want, because there's no rule about using it. However, since your English is nowhere near native level, it would be misleading, so I recommend that you don't use that. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Then what template level should I use? My first language is English. And doing that is disruptive? But on Wikipedia:Rules do not talk about archiving. Well doing that disruptive is not true.GTX (talk) 07:13, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I would say to use level 1 or 2. As for archiving your talk page, the way you have been doing it is disruptive. That is because you archived conversations that were not finished. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:28, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Then what template level should I use? My first language is English. And doing that is disruptive? But on Wikipedia:Rules do not talk about archiving. Well doing that disruptive is not true.GTX (talk) 07:13, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I noticed from enwiki, The Wikipedia:Rules didn't state about archiving and creating new pages. So what's a point for doing it? GTX (talk) 09:10, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I don't understand whst you're asking. Can you say it a different way? --Auntof6 (talk) 09:28, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Uh, Level 3, i will placed the Template now. The coversation for each section is non stop.GTX (talk) 10:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Well, as I said there's no rule that you have to use the correct template. Just know that your English is not at level 3. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Articles
[change source]Hello, GTX. Welcome back from your block. You might remember that you were asked to work on improving the articles you have created before you create any more. That should also be done before you add more information to any articles. Please just work on fixing the ones you have created before you do anything else. Thanks. Let me know if you would like me to tell you specifically what needs fixing on a specific article. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:32, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- You tell me more! My grammar was ok, and my English was my first language, so my english was suppose to be good about that. I'm not good in understanding other languages which was a little bit confusing. And please tell me more. And same thing in 9 days time', i'll archive all of them because my dates were shown above.GTX (talk) 05:37, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- OK. Which article would you like me to look at?
- As far as your other comments, I'm sorry, but I'm telling you that your grammar is not good enough to write articles here by yourself. I am willing to help you a little bit with it, but I can't help you if you keep insisting that it is OK. I don't know what other languages have to do with anything. As for archiving, you are still not allowed to do manual archiving. If you do that, you will be blocked again, maybe permanently this time. I suggest that you set up automated archiving as I have mentioned before. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:42, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Holy crap, All of them, all of the articles, English is my first language. Wow, i cannot allow to manual archiving, who will do it? Me or Other Users?GTX1975 (talk) 05:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Auntof6, can you please reply. I try out the tag of automated archiving but no response.GTX1975 (talk) 05:59, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- The archiving doesn't happen right away. The bot that does it only runs once a day. It last ran about 12 hours ago, so it will probably run again in about 12 hours. I see that you added code to archive sections that are three days old. That is too short. It should be at least a week, and longer would be even better. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:11, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- So far is two weeks each, so when can I put that the archiving tag? Hope my each archive that the bot will be ON TIME, hope each archive don't delay.GTX1975 (talk) 06:13, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- You can put the tag on now. The bot will archive when it runs again. It usually runs at the same time every day, but it might be a little different. It might also not find anything on your talk page to archive every time, Your archives will not be two weeks each any more. They don't need to be exactly two weeks worth, and they don't need to run at exactly the same time. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:27, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- I know! Maybe look at the dates better, the archive dates were the dates given which they have signature the day which they have done. It is NOT the day when will be completed. So now i renoticed.
- If you set up the archiving system correctly, the bot will look at the signature dates for you. Again, I don't understand why you are so insistent on archiving every 15 days. Why can't you be more flexible, and just place all the messages in one month into one archive? That will give you one archive per month, and 12 archives per year. Chenzw Talk 06:33, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

- If you set up automatic archiving, a bot would do it. By the way, you do not have to leave me talkback messages. I am watching your talk page, so I will see when you leave a reply.
- Here are some general things I see in your articles besides the grammar:
- You included reference sections when there were no references. The articles should have references, so you can add some of those.
- The "Related pages" section should be before the references section.
- In section titles (also called headings), all words except the first one should be in lower case.
- Most of the transit station articles should start with the name of the station, without "The station" before it.
- I have left you some comments at Talk:Tampines MRT Station. Look at those, and either make the improvements needed or ask me questions if you don't understand something. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:06, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Nice one, but for example like Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT Station was start with the <STATION NAME> MRT/LRT Station which was we always do. And i'll revamp all the pages. We just leave the References eventhough is nothing, because we can update again when the future events was about to come.GTX1975 (talk) 06:10, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Additional Talk
[change source]Well thanks User:Chenzw, ok, since my Archive 3 never created yet, but initially was used 15 days for first and 15 - 16 days. Ok now let me changed my archive duration section. You wait!GTX1975 (talk) 06:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

- Messages do not have to be removed by a certain date. That's not how archiving works. What if a section is started on May 31, but there aren't any replies yet? You wouldn't want to archive that section yet. Each section should be archived when the conversation in it is finished. That doesn't happen according to the calendar. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:41, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Simple, archive all except those sections starting on May 31, we will keep in either May 2016 or June 2016. If still continues, i'll choose Archive 3.GTX1975 (talk) 15:19, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
