Welcome
[edit]Hello Beatgr and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,
- Wikipedia:Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly,
- Wikipedia:Tutorial is more in-depth, and
- Wikipedia:Topical index is exhaustive.
The following links might also come in handy:
Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. You can write new articles, add to existing ones, or edit any and all pages that appear. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles, but they may not interest you. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy more, but Wikipedia is the most popular by far.
There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildas like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! Draeco 21:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia Notes
[edit]After 3 or 4 WikiBots that seem to have a mind of their own -- of both writing "new versions of history" and censorship of ideas of the "bots" creator -- User:Carnildo being the most noticable. Now an administrator and is now against censorship (what a change in attitude).[1] This web article by Larry Sanger, one of the Wikipedia co-founders, Wikipedia credibility & management problems-- summarizes the current problems very well. Some respectable institutions have informed students -- they now discourage Wikipedia for source material. [2]
I am reducing my volunteer contributions and time to Wikipedia. My limited time can be better spent with more rewarding projects and initatives. Too bad, seems like a nice idea - but Wikipedia is attracting too many "Spin Control" editors - and will not receive my financial support. Beatgr 16:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Sadly, some the best people (and contributors) -- Draeco being one -- have also left, taken a long break or reduced their contributions. Beatgr 02:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
School officials unite in banning Wikipedia
[edit]Comments that an "open - anyone can edit philosophy" is both bias and flawed in structure.[2]
Illinois State Routes WikiProject created!
[edit]Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I've created Wikipedia:WikiProject Illinois State Routes so that all Illinois state route articles can be standardized. Let me know what you think on its talk page. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 18:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
5 Year Break Ends
[edit]Beginning in October 2006, I took a break from Wikipedia due to its chaos (Elonka Dunin, demoted to semi-active admin) and lack of control for robotic editing and nameless, unqualified editors.[3] Wikipedia editor Oden was one editor that built a "bot" that posted notices about images uploaded over 12 months ago for various articles that I originally wrote. It was a poorly written program that did make mistakes, and destroyed thousands of entries. Since I was on extended "break" at that time due to work and holidays, I did not see these messages. He has "left Wikipedia' permanently as an editor (I don't know why, don't care).[4] I can find few articles that he actually researched and wrote. Beatgr Updated 24 February 2012
Live each day - you may not be around tomorrow. Beatgr 23:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC) My break is over and I will return on a periodic basis. Beatgr 03:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Nice work on the Space Launch System page
[edit]The article desperately needed the information you added, so as a rocketry enthusiast and habitual editor of the page, thank you. Boundarylayer (talk) 03:19, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Vandalism
[edit]I have noted an increase in Vandalism to Wikipedia entries. In one instance, due to repeated issues from the same individual, I submitted the incident information to his ISP and enforcement authorities.

Deletion discussion about SpaceX Crew-3
[edit]Hello, Beatgr, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Alexandermcnabb, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, SpaceX Crew-3, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SpaceX Crew-3.
You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Alexandermcnabb}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!

Article of the month. ![]() Apollo 12 was the sixth crewed flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched on November 14, 1969, from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, four months after Apollo 11. Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad and Apollo Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the southeastern portion of the Ocean of Storms. | Image of the month. ![]() This is an image of the ISS from December 9, 2000.

Beatgr (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I have been informed today, June 13, that Wikipedia administrator MER-C has indefinitely blocked my future editing on Wikipedia. This appears to be due edits to articles: Shooting Star (spacecraft) and Crew Dragon Endeavour. There was NO intended plagiarization or willful copyright violation in my editing. Referencing four (4) earlier Wikipedia articles of 2012 and 2017 are not relevant in this discussion and does not support MER-C conjecture of “multiple copyright violations”. Those two (2) articles were 5 and 10 years ago. They were amiability resolved, based on Wikipedia policy and facts by Wikipedia administration at that time. An EDITING BLOCK was NOT necessary to resolve this administrator’s (Mer-C) objection. Based on my past 15 years of article creation, “WikiGnome” for multiple articles, and Standardizing Article Framework and Clean-up of: Progress MS-4 to MS-19; Crew Dragon, starting with CRS-21; and NorthropGrumman Cygnus since Cygnus NG-12 over the past six months — it is difficult to justify this action. The article Shooting Star (spacecraft) has been a difficult entry to add to Wikipedia. It sat in my “draft space” for almost 2 years — due to insufficient reference sources (number, quality) and based on Wikipedia’s guidelines of not writing an original work (unreferenced). I do not remember “lifting text” from referenced sources, since I do not write in that manner. The SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour article was not created by me. I remember clean-up (WikiGnome) on the article, due to poor & missing references, and adding results from NASA / SpaceX Crew-2 pre-launch news conference. It covered spacecraft safety updates before the Crew-2 launch. I am aware of the Wikipedia copyright policy, and adhere to that policy. No willful violation was intended. Lastly, an appeal process requires an impartial body to hear and consider an appeal. This statement by MER-C : “I will oppose any unblock appeal you make.” removes objectivity from Wikipedia’s appeal process. It actually states that an appeal process will not occur. Beatgr (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Thank you both for your comments. Ultimately, I've declined to send it for AN review at this point, because the user's phrasing seems to suggest that in the event of accidental copyright breaches, editors should just state needed improvements. While of course this is true to start, every time it occurs it both drains limited specialist editor time and is a copyright breach. You state it's the first warning you remember but there were numerous warnings, once the extra ones were provided, albeit with a significant recent gap. I didn't say that doing a major edit wasn't (excessive quotes/copyvio aside) good, but the fact that you indicated it was otherwise suggests a certain carelessness in high-sensitivity areas (which both copyvio and unblock requests are). It is not beyond the bounds that a different reviewing admin may be convinced - I suggest demonstrating a good awareness of how to avoid any accidental copyvio occuring, including quotation issues, and improving communication Nosebagbear (talk) 23:54, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- I came here to review this block. However, this block seems too complex for me to handle personally. I suggest that you request a review at WP:AN, it may get the attention it deserves there. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 00:53, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Firstly, to Beatgr, all regular reviews are carried by admins with no prior involvement in the case. Mer-C is stating they will contest that admin unblocking you. That in effect rules out discretionary unblocks if the reviewing admin felt it was warranted, but just means that the appeal would be heard by the broader Community at WP:AN - blocking admins don't have any veto, as your appeal seems to believe
It actually states that an appeal process will not occur.
. - Secondly, @MER-C:, an individual with appreciable non-copyvio history (in this case, 4 years and around 1500 edits) would not normally be direct blocked in this case, especially given that one of the pages you flag you marked as a case needing review rather than, say, direct G12ing it (although that latter aspect is somewhat a wash as I'm inclined to agree).
- Thirdly, back to Beatgr, your appeal doesn't seem to note the level of recklessness present - comparatively few copyvio breaches are wilful, it's not a necessary component on copyvio blocks to protect the encyclopedia. You state you were wiki-gnoming Crew Dragon Endeavour except that this 450-word set of edits (admin review only) is a major substantive edit - in no way gnoming. The time since previous warning suggests AN review would be reasonable, but your lack of consideration of recklessness and mischaracterisation of areas of work and issues makes me disinclined to send it that way.
- Given these clashing aspects, please both feel free to provide some additional thought - and I'll decide whether to either decline the appeal or escalate to WP:AN for fuller review. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- This appeal is without merit. "I do not remember “lifting text” from referenced sources, since I do not write in that manner." Yes, you do. This [5] isn't something I'd expect to see from an editor with 8000 edits and 15 years tenure, especially the bit with the registered trademark symbol. The copyvio is obvious - I only posted it to Wikipedia:Copyright problems to give someone the chance to rewrite it (if not, I will delete it). Copyvio is a habit, often resulting from insufficient proficiency in written English, communication and/or clue. The warnings prove this habit stretches over seven years. I expect the contributor copyright investigation to turn up more.
- I had pasted the wrong diffs in the comment after the block template. The duplicate diffs should be [6][7][8]. MER-C 16:29, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Nosebagbear A willful disregard of copy-write was never intended and if mistakes were recently made in the two articles noted (reckless?), corrections could have been made. Based on additional thoughts requested by Nosebagbear (below) and HighInBC comment, I would ask for the next step of [WP:AN]] review.
The suggestion that I have Copyvio habit that stretches over seven years
and a reckless editor is an unfounded accusation. This appears to be the foundation of MER-C block action and possibly a personal objection to this writer (unknown reason).
As a Wikipedia administrator, MER-C could have addressed the issues by: “Greg, I find this section of article inappropriate due to copyvio, please correct”. OR “I have deleted this section of article, due to my determination of copyvio. Please review.” I do not visit Wikipedia on a regular basis, nor am I a ‘Wiki writer for hire’, so posted notifications (talk page) are not immediately seen by me.
MER-C has stated … insufficient proficiency in written English, communication and/or clue.
Recently retired, I wrote 60-100 pages (weekly) of professional technical analysis with supporting data/charts for seven years delivered to Global 1000 clients. In addition, I served as deliverable review for final reports (to clients) submitted by the firm’s other consultants for accuracy, grammar and clarity. This is a projected characterization, that is not an accurate assessment of this writer.
I looked at the two paragraphs of the Shooting Star, where a near 100% match to the citation/reference was noted, two paragraphs are “quoted text” are from original source (reported by the citation). Is that not allowed? not sufficient? Changing quoted text, from an original source, is a writing/article violation — as I was taught many years ago. I believe that it is also a violation of Wikipedia rules. Today, the overall article is too long, and could be edited for brevity with some loss of details and facts.
Yes, as noted by Nosebagbear, the Crew Dragon Endeavour was a larger addition (and corrections) than my normal “clean-up, janitorial” activities over the past few months. Changes were made to the article after NASA’s pre-launch news conference, where many ‘first time’ revelations were made by SpaceX officials regarding refurbishment of this spacecraft. In effect, invalidating paragraphs of the article.
Did I rush to make changes and additions to this article, based on those revelations? Possibly rushed. In hindsight, a citation to the actual NASA video with quotation from the SpaceX official, would have been “more appropriate” based on the stated copyvio objection. As stated by Wikipedia guidelines, that I have read, video or Twitter “tweet” citations are not encouraged.
This is the first copyvio warning, that I remember, in years. So a systematic copyvio violator, I am not. As I stated earlier, the Merodosia bridge article was removed, by mutual agreement in 2007.
Those specific details, from 10 years ago, are: I was incorporating additions to earlier work (research, writing with Richard Carlson, retired IL police sergeant and 9-1-1 commander) for the Illinois section of WikiProject U.S. Roads. It was a very large Wiki project (months, years) requiring coordination and assignments of many writers. In 2007, I desired to capture information of an old Illinois road bridge, but insufficient independent Internet sources existed in 2007 (mutual decision was made to delete). A new bridge opened at the site in June 2018. I have not revisited the subject, since the old bridge has since been demolished. I do not remember who the copyvio administrator was, at that time, but it was a positive exchange without hate. Beatgr 22:55 14 June 2021 (UTC) Beatgr (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Explorer 52
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Explorer 52 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20050118105032/http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/explorer_ie-d.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Heart (talk) 06:49, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Article of the month. Shuttle-Centaur was a version of the Centaur upper stage rocket designed to be carried aloft inside the Space Shuttle. Two variants were developed: Centaur G-Prime and Centaur G. The powerful Centaur upper stage allowed for heavier deep space probes, and for them to reach Jupiter sooner. However, neither variant ever flew on a Shuttle. | Image of the month. ![]() This is an Extreme Deep Field image taken from the Hubble Space Telescope, released by NASA on September 25th, 2012.
