Unblocked

edit

Hi. After a discussion at WP:ANI, I have unblocked this account. You're a fairly new editor here, and you'll need some help, so I strongly suggest you talk to User:Piotrus whenever you're unsure of things, or perhaps just to check before you make changes (at least for a little while, until you gain more experience.) Anyway, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:02, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

In particular, several editors have raised concerns that you add information that is already present in the article ([1] - see next paragraph), or information that is irrelevant to the topic ([2], [3]). Other of your edits are confusing because of grammar/vocabulary issues ([4] - words colon cancer is repeated twice, unnecessarily; [5] - is the custom to eat with silkworms in early summer; [6] - cheese made with crude oil...). Please be careful about those issues, and please a reply here that shows you understand our concerns, and that you understand the errors we've pointed out above. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:07, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'll also add that while WP:NOENG allows English sources, it also says: English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when available and of equal quality and relevance. Also, not all editors are aware that non-English sources can be OK, such as in this revert to your edit. Also be aware that English speakers from Western countries are likely to me more skeptical of sites that they are not already familiar with. That's not your fault, but it's good to have proper expectations. Finally, if you need help to determine if a source if reliable, you can post to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, or search through it's archives.

Yeah, such a WP:Systemic bias. — regards, Revi 11:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry!

edit

Hi, SungMinSeung. My name is Swarm and I'm an administrator here. I just wanted to drop by to apologize for the inconvenience. You should not have been blocked. You should not have been accused of vandalism either. Both of these things were honest mistakes, so please don't take it personally. Here at Wikipedia we have a policy of being helpful, patient, and encouraging towards new users. I think we failed you in that regard. I'll remove the warnings and block notices from your page for you so no one thinks you did anything wrong. I hope you were not turned off of the project and decide to stay! If you ever need anything, please let me know. Thank you for all of your contributions to this project! Best regards, Swarm 06:45, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I second this - you were treated terribly and that's not right, and not in the spirit of Wikipedia. Please let me know if I can help you with your editing. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 06:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

A cheeseburger for you!

Another welcome

edit

Hello, Min Seung,

I know you had a rocky start here, for no fault of your own. I'm sorry for the problems that were laid in your path, and I hope that the favorable resolution will allow you to get on with your edits. I am glad you're here, and I hope you will enjoy it, and decide to stay. I do not speak any Korean, but I admire your country and your cuisine, and never met a kim-chee I didn't like! (We have lots of Korean restaurants, where I live; my current favorite dish is Dolsot Bibimbap.) Anyway, I just wanted to add my welcome to the other welcomes here, and offer my assistance, in case you ever have any questions about anything. Happy editing!

Problems

edit

Edits like these [[7]] [[8]] still indicate that your language issues have not been dealt with. I think it would be a good idea for you to suggest edits to a friendly editor to check before making them.Slatersteven (talk) 13:16, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I agree. You should try to make other type of edits, ones that don't require specialist vocabulary. As I said earlier, while Korean sources are acceptable, their use on English Wikipedia requires sufficient English skills to make a correct translation. Instead of using Korean sources, you could use English ones, which will contain correct terminology. Alternatively, there are many edits that don't require English grammar/vocabulary, such as fixing references, uploading images, categorizing content, etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:09, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
There also still seem to be an issue with duplicating material [[9]].Slatersteven (talk) 10:19, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
