User talk:Acnh Player

Welcome!

Welcome to Nookipedia, Acnh Player! We're glad you've taken the step to create an account and edit our wiki! With an account you'll now be able to easily edit pages, participate in discussions, watch pages, track your edits, and have access to additional editing tools. You can also create and edit your own user page. If you intend to continue editing, here are some things to keep in mind: Read our wiki's general use and editing, and privacy policies. Preview your changes before saving them to avoid the need for making corrections afterwards. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes instead of undoing or reinstating changes repeatedly without discussion. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This code will automatically leave your name and a timestamp. You can find editing tutorials and further information about our policies on the help pages. Where to start? Check out the The Roost for the latest discussions, or consult the to-do list on the Main Page to see tasks that need to be worked on. Questions? Feel free to ask a member of staff directly, post your question on the The Roost talk page, or ask about it on our Discord server. We're always happy to help! Thank you for your contributions, and have a great time! -- Nookipedia Staff

Avoid second-person writing

Hello, I've noticed several of your edits (such as this one) include second-person writing in them (i.e. usage of the words "you" or "your" when referring to the player). Just want to let you know that the Manual of Style states that articles should never be written in the second-person (or first-person, for that matter); in any context that refers to the "player", they must be referred to as such instead of saying "you" or "your".

To give an example, instead of:

"You must buy 15 items to upgrade Tom Nook's shop."

It should be:

"The player must buy 15 items to upgrade Tom Nook's shop."

Alternatively, you can avoid referring to the player altogether if applicable. For example:

"A total of 15 items must be bought to upgrade Tom Nook's shop."

Hope my advice helped. The Jacketed Terrapin 22:55, March 8, 2024 (EST)

Okay I will do that Acnh Player (talk) 23:38, March 8, 2024 (EST)

I will fix the poki article Acnh Player (talk) 14:04, March 9, 2024 (EST)

Please read The Jacketed Terrapin's reminder again carefully. Some more of your edits today have included second-person writing including this one. Thanks for your co-operation! Drago (talk) 14:16, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

Repeating information

Please make sure to read through articles before adding information to make sure you're not repeating something that is already there, as you have done in several of your edits. Thank you for your understanding. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 15:16, March 9, 2024 (EST)

okay Acnh Player (talk) 17:20, March 9, 2024 (EST)

What does the Status mean?

It says that my status is "inactive" even though I edit every day. What does inactive or active even mean? Can someone answer my question???Acnh Player (talk) 12:41, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

It looks like you haven't added yourself to Template:Activity. Hope this helps! Drago (talk) 14:03, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry, I don't get what you are saying. Acnh Player (talk) 14:07, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

Nookipedia staff have their status automatically determined by {{Activity}}, which is why the syntax |status = {{Activity|user=username_here}} normally outputs "Active" for {{Infobox User}}. For normal users, you can just write |status = Active if you want it to display the word "Active" instead of "Inactive." HylianAngel (talk) 17:09, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

Signing messages

Please remember to sign your messages (this includes messages you leave on noticeboards, such as Nookipedia:Staff_noticeboard). Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 01:44, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry to have to intervene again, but Nookipedia:Signature policy requires your signature to contain a link to your user page, and yours currently doesn't. Thanks! Drago (talk) 12:13, March 26, 2024 (EDT)

Excuse me, what in the world are you talking about? Am I in french class? I don't get what you are saying.Acnh Player (talk) 12:21, March 26, 2024 (EDT)

Template:Vandalism-only Account

As much as I appreciate it when users look out for vandalism, I've unfortunately deleted this template you created because I don't think it's necessary to have. We already have Template:Block, and under current procedure, creating talk pages for obvious trolls isn't recommended anyway. Basically, it's best not to give trolls too much attention or they're more likely to return and vandalize again. Thank you for understanding! Drago (talk) 13:44, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

Moving pages without consensus / Reminder for previous messages

Please do not move articles without first starting a discussion on that article's talk page to gain consensus. Also, as you have been told previously, please make sure to check if the information you are adding is not already there before submitting your edits, and do not use second-person writing ("you") in articles. Continuing to ignore these messages and make these kinds of edits will result in a warning. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 23:55, March 26, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry, I will try to remember next time. I am not ignoring the messages, I am trying to remember. Please don't think I am ignoring them. I just forgot. Please don't give a warning.😥😥 Acnh Player (talk) 00:01, March 27, 2024 (EDT)

Even if you intend to follow these reminders, what matters is actually following them. Your actions speak louder than words, so your future edits—not talk page promises—will determine whether you receive a warning. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 00:23, March 27, 2024 (EDT)

Do all your small edits at once

Hello. When making several small changes to a page, you should do all them at once rather than separately. Making several consecutive edits to one page (like with your edits on the "Balloon (item)/Gallery" page) can clog up its edit history page, as well as the Recent Changes page. Not only does this make your edits more cumbersome to review, but it can potentially make it more difficult to spot a bad edit or two in the Recent Changes page.

To avoid this, you should edit the entire page rather than edit each section one by one. This can be done by clicking "Edit" near the top right of the page.

On a side note, if you want to make sure your edits look good before saving them, you should make use of the "Show preview" button, which is right next to the "Save changes" button. This button allows you to further proofread any edits that can't be checked with the wiki editor, such as if a link or an image is working properly or not.
