RE: What

The photos you uploaded were taken from the internet. As explained at {{Di-no permission}}, [at Commons] "you must ask the copyright holder for permission to release it under one of the allowed licenses, and the written permission" [and at Wikipedia] "t is sourced to someone other than the uploader, or to an external site which the uploader claims to represent or own, and while a copyright tag has been applied, there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license" (both via WP:OTRS). Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 19:14, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

For the record!

As I know with who I have to deal with I should keep everything hidden. And stop with your sarcastic comments cause you know I have sources here also. — Tomica (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

But you do realise that it doesn't stop people from seeing it?? It wasn't a sarcastic comment, you just decided to interpret it that way, I can't help that. And what do you mean "sources". Well, I know what you mean, but I know you know that's not true. Aaron You Da One 23:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, and I knew that you would probably see it, cause you study my contributions very well ;). And what's not true? I can't understand the last sentence, its a bit confusing.— Tomica (talk) 23:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't study your contributions. You wrote the article, I only knew because you was linking it in other articles. I have better things to do in my spare time. But it did surprise me that you said you "created" the article, because I'm pretty sure that was me. Lol, I'm pretty sure you do understand but know that you wouldn't be able to give me an answer. Aaron You Da One 23:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hahah. You RE-DIRECTED THE ARTICLE. Difference, between created and re-directed. And in the end of the day, is it really important that? And btw, NO! I don't understand. Trust me If you do it more clear for me, I will respond you.— Tomica (talk) 23:27, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I had to create it in order to re-direct it though, didn't I. Lol okay, who are your "sources". Pretty sure you have none. Aaron You Da One 23:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Maybe I have the most important one, the direct ones. I wouldn't be so sure... (Illuminati eye xD) — Tomica (talk) 23:31, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
What?? And I'm pretty sure you don't. However, I do! Aaron You Da One 23:32, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Hey

No problem! I already fixed those four issues you addressed by the way. :D lol - Saulo Talk to Me 23:29, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Drunk on love (Rihanna song) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Drunk on love (Rihanna song) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drunk on love (Rihanna song) (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Aaron You Da One 14:20, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Please don't open AfDs just because an article title is capitalized incorrectly, as you did with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drunk on love (Rihanna song). Incorrect capitalizations and plausible typos/misspellings (e.g., "Rhianna") are perfectly legitimate uses for redirect pages, and the issue with the Drunk on love (Rihanna song) title was easily solved with a redirect. Implausible typos can be deleted under speedy deletion criterion R3 or at redirects for discussion. —KuyaBriBriTalk 14:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to Florida 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Question

Thanks for leaving some of PJH's edits in place. One of your reversions confuses me, though: This edit has an edit summary of "unsourced", but it shows you restoring a grammar error and introducing inappropriate material into the lead (as any comment about the "entire run" will become false in time).—Kww(talk) 13:21, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Not all of his edits were unconstructive, but many were completely superfluous. He hasn't learn't anything, again, and is still not helpful. Aaron You Da One 16:32, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Which doesn't respond to my question. What was this specific edit intended to accomplish?—Kww(talk) 17:04, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
It was unsourced in the prose. And I am extremely irate at the moment at what he has been doing to If It's Lovin' that You Want. Aaron You Da One 17:05, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
But it was you that added the unsourced material. He had taken it out, and you put it back in. Why? As for If It's Lovin' that You Want, please remember that being a GA is absolutely meaningless. It's an arbitrary stamp of approval given by one editor to another, without review. The articles can (and should) still be edited, and the "GA" designation can be taken away by any editor at any time. Please don't expect people to accord the format, styling, or text of a GA any special respect.—Kww(talk) 18:03, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I have NEVER added that it has been in the top ten since it's release. Look at the history, it's riddled with IP edits. I'm making the article a GA, so a lot will be cut. Aaron You Da One 18:06, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Please read this edit. Carefully. Note that you, Calvin999, make the inappropriate statement "The song has managed to stay in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 for its entire run" and insert a grammatical error. Now that you have carefully read your edit, then please answer these questions:
  1. Why are you adding inappropriate material to the lead?
  2. Why are you inserting grammar errors into the lead?
  3. Does it have something to do with it being PJH that is making the original correction?
  4. Why are you making getting a simple answer to a simple question such an ordeal?—Kww(talk) 18:12, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm confused. It showed that Phoenix had added that in? I never actually wrote that, the history proves that. It must have just been in the edit I was undoing. It's not just because it is him at all, it is the fact that he makes such unnecessary edits. He tries to find things which don't need changing. Several of us don't understand why he has been given so many chances when he is still not learning. He edits for edits sake, not for improving. Aaron You Da One 18:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
No. It shows that you reverted a perfectly good edit for no reason at all. He had made a correction, and you reverted him with a completely bogus edit summary. Why did you do that? Read the edit, read the summary, note that it was you that made the reversion, and please explain to me why you did that.—Kww(talk) 18:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I've told you. I don't know what else there is to say. I saw the most recent edit had the statement about it not having left the top ten, and he made the last edit. I thought he had added it, so I reverted as it is unsourced. You are wrong to say I wrote it, because I never did. Aaron You Da One 18:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
This has gotten ridiculous. Both parts of the edit you were undoing were good, and, by result, both parts of the edit that you made are bad. You have to stop reflexively reverting PJH. The next unjustifiable reversion I find you making of one of his edits will result in a block, and whenever you revert him, the edit summary has to provide a clear justification. Not an insult. Not a "no". An actual explanation for your reversion. Any reversions without a clear edit summary will also result in a block. Your edit warring has become too disruptive to allow it to continue.—Kww(talk) 18:32, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm not reflexively reverting, a lot has been left intact, as you know. I only revert what he does as bad. My edit warring? There wouldn't be an edit warring if you did the right thing and what everyone else thinks you should do and keep to his "indefinte block" which always gets lifted. Notice how when he is not on here, there is not disruptive edit warring? That says a lot in itself. His past history if horrific, and it still is. I don't see how this is justifiable. Aaron You Da One
I've asked over and over why you made this reversion, and you have been pretty evasive. "I screwed up" is an acceptable answer, but you won't seem to say that. There's nothing at all unreasonable about me asking you to only revert when you can provide justification for doing so. That's pretty much the basic courtesy we ask of all editors.—Kww(talk) 18:51, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I've said several times, so I don't know what else you want me to say. Okay I will provide clearer and plainer summaries for you, doesn't mean it will reduce the amount of times I will have to revert him though. You also avoided my points about having him blocked. Can't believe you are supporting a well known sock who is useless at distinguishing when to edit. Priorities need to be sorted, and there is no way I should be first on your list. You ought to look more closely as the source of this problem, the editor in question. Aaron You Da One 18:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I haven't seen one time in this discussion where you said anything to the effect of "I made a mistake, and I didn't check to see what the actual result of my reversion was" or "I shouldn't have added bad material to the lead and inserted a grammatical error", or, best yet "PJH had made a perfectly good edit and I shouldn't have reverted it". If you did, please point it at me. I know PJH is a troublesome editor, that's why he is on such a strict editing restriction with such severe consequences if he screws up. That doesn't mean that everyone that he struggles with is necessarily a saint.—Kww(talk) 19:01, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I've said what I thought happened and I've said several times that I have said. He clearly isn't on a "strict editing restriction" though is he. Can't even reference properly. Either way, I'm sick of it. This only happens when he is about, yet you keep him here. Can't believe you are supporting a sock puppet. Aaron You Da One 19:04, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I occasionally try to rehabilitate some of the more enthusiastic editors, and I'm just trying to make sure that he actually gets a chance to learn. Like I said, you can feel free to revert him if you can justify the reversion. He still isn't permitted to re-add material at all, and he's just coming off a 30-day block from his last violation. I'm certain that you would consider a 30-day block a severe consequence if it happened to you. It will surprise me if he lasts 72 hours, but I want to see him given a fair chance to do so.—Kww(talk) 19:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Remixes

I'm currently working on a list of songs based on your fantastic List of songs recorded by Rihanna, and was wondering if the person who rearranges something (or remixes it) should be credited with a footnote or in the writers box. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:19, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I've been told to only include ones which are rearranged, yes, as in a different production with different vocals. However, I have also included remixes with non-recorded vocals, as they appear on the album. Aaron You Da One 17:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Okay. Although the lyrics were the same, the vocals were quite different... rhythm, tempo, and everything. Thanks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:13, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
As in re-recorded like what Mariah Carey does or just re-worked original vocals like other artists do? Aaron You Da One 17:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Completely rerecorded. For example, the original "Pelangi" was recorded in a small studio in Jakarta. The new arrangement was done in Australia, with an orchestra, and a different tempo. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's New York City Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions) and United Kingdom Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, England Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Bavaria Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) and Bavaria Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi there. I saw that you posted a couple copy edit requests for Hard (song) and Rude Boy (song) back in December here, but it looks like someone did some copy editing on those articles.

Rihanna GAT

Hey congrats on the first Rihanna GAT for Music of the Sun. Hope we soon collaborate on other era :). Btw yupiii for "Where Have You Been". It performed great this week on the Hot 100. — Tomica (talk) 19:31, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :). Yeah WHYB has done really well. Wish they'd of given the update on the Dance chart though. Aaron You Da One 19:37, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
They will, don't worry. I am so addicted to this performance. She was sick, but give it some good vibe to the song and sang it perfect. — Tomica (talk) 19:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, just surprised they didn't because it is a dance song. Yeah I love it too, she lowered they key of the song by a half note, like she did with Only Girl and CKB performances. She always did What's My Name in the original key though. Aaron You Da One 19:43, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
I think they are pretty hard to sing in original key since a lot of computerization is used in them. And "What's My Name" is pretty easy to sing, I think :). Great perfo anyway. — Tomica (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
The bridge of WMN is harder to sing than the others. It's the same vocal key as OGITW but she holds the C#5's for longer. Aaron You Da One 21:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Deleting "publisher" field from "Cite web" templates

In a citation, how exactly does a reader gain any benefit from being told that, for example, Time magazine is published by Time Inc, or that the New York Times is published by the New York Times Company and (surprise!) is based in New York, or that USA Today's publisher is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, or that Billboard is, or was at one time or another, published by Billboard Inc, or by Prometheus Global Media or by Nielsen? All of this information is available to anyone who really wants it in the articles for each of those publications, but has no relevance to a citation. I'm not removing useful information, I'm removing useless (and often outdated) clutter. Colonies Chris (talk) 22:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Because it's not about your personal opinion, it's about the rules, so end of discussion. Continue, and you will be blocked for it. You're lucky I haven't reported you yet. Aaron You Da One 23:14, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm with you Calvin - Chris shouldn't be removing publisher information from citations. If he continues after being warned it's vandalism and he can be reported at Wikipedia:ANV. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 23:37, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Please provide a link to support your claim that publisher parameters are required for GA review (or for any other purpose, for that matter). As long as the publication is cited and linked, the publisher is superfluous in the citation. And let me remind you again that if you continue to characterise my good faith changes as vandalism, and make threats on my talk page, you will find yourself at ANI. Colonies Chris (talk) 23:49, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Why do you think there is a publisher parameter in the first place? Please, try and use your brain and put two and two together. Aaron You Da One 23:59, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Chris, the publisher field isn't required for GA, but that's no excuse and you shouldn't be removing it from properly formatted citations. Please stop being disruptive. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
OK, so you admit the GAR claim was a fabrication, and you still haven't answered the question I asked at the top of this section. How does a reader of a citation benefit from these superfluous publisher and location parameters, when the publication is wikilinked to its article which states these facts? Who says that a citation of a publication has to have a publisher parameter to be 'properly formatted'? Please provide a link to support this claim. The publisher parameter only has value for publications that don't have their own WP article. And if you still think my edits are vandalism, I recommend you carry out your threat to take me to WP:ANV. I'm confident that they will send you away with a flea in your ear. Colonies Chris (talk) 00:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Chris, the publisher field tell readers which company or individual published the referenced text; in the absence of a working web link, researchers can use the info to track down texts in public libraries, online searches etc. It can also be used to gauge the reliability of texts. If the field is present in citations you shouldn't remove it just because you don't like it. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:50, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

You don't seem to have understood that I'm only removing the publisher from citations to well-known periodicals that have their own WP article. If I find a citation link is dead, I first of all go to the dead url, strip it back to the base website name, then try to navigate or search from the homepage. Failing that, I run a Google search for the cited text. The publisher's name is not likely to be any use at all. If I needed it for some unfathomable reason, it's available in the WP article for the cited periodical. No useful information is being lost by my cleanup. Colonies Chris (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
It's not a complete fabrication. I've been asked in my own GANs before of why there are missing publisher fields. I wouldn't have said it otherwise. It's something that would definitely be picked up on at FLC/FAC anyway. Aaron You Da One
Please supply links to either to where this question was asked by a GA/FA reviewer, or any sort of GA/FA policy that states these things are required. BaffleGab doesn't support your claim that they are needed. If you're so sure that I'm "DISOBEYING Wikipedia RULES", you should find it easy to provide a link to a statement of those rules. On the other hand, here is a quote from Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Newspaper_articles:
Newspaper articles
Citations for newspaper articles typically include the name of the newspaper (in italics), the date of publication, the byline (author's name) if any, the title of the article (within quotation marks), and the city of publication if not included in the name of the newspaper. Page number(s) are optional.
Notice that it doesn't mention publisher at all. The same applies to journals. (Compare with the equivalent paragraph for book citations, which does mention publisher). Colonies Chris (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I know what I've been told in my GANs. We use publishers in citations, everyone does, on all (GA/FA) articles. In the mean time, stay off my talk page. Aaron You Da One 14:13, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not really a huge fan. He doesn't do anything to make me like him lol. I do really like Leona Lewis "Don't Let Me Down" which he co-wrote and provided background vocals for. Yeah it looks good. For the release history though I'd try and do it so the dates, CD, Jive, RCA etc aren't on every line. You know what I mean? Aaron You Da One 22:33, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Scotland Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, New York City Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

GA

Originally when I had nominated this for GA status it wasn't going to be a single, though I am fairly confident it won't be. Plus it's an urban single and not expected to blow up, it really won't be getting any bigger than its current state.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 16:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

It's still far too early, the album was only released 2 months ago. Aaron You Da One 17:18, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
What do you mean? An TTT article with a GA status could still be released, though unlikely, yet there are many of them--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 17:20, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
The album was released 8 months ago though. It's only been the past few weeks that some have been promoted to GA, after 5 singles had been released. Point is, more information becomes available. Aaron You Da One 17:23, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Let It Go

Hi,

Can you please re-check the credits you have entered for "Let It Go". Mads Nilsson (not Mads Nillson btw.) is a mix engineer not a musician, so it doesnt make sense he's credited with "Percussion". On the other hand Cutfather is usually credited with "Percussion" on his release. Can you verify this for me? --z33k (talk) 17:02, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Mistake

I sure hope this was an accident and that you'll quickly revert. Toddst1 (talk) 21:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

As it doesn't appear that you're active, I've reverted. I'm sure you're aware of the hard stand we take here on unsourced or poorly sourced information regarding a living person. Toddst1 (talk) 21:27, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
No it wasn't a mistake, and no it's not unsourced, if had of bothered to read the article. How else do you think it was approved at DYK? If there wasn't a source, it would have been rejected, but it wasn't. Aaron You Da One 22:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
There's a big difference between saying the song is about "the desire" and "her desire". You'll have to come up with some strong sourcing to say it's her desire. Toddst1 (talk) 23:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Well it is her song. And having "the" instead of "her" is hardly a good enough reason to have me blocked. It's a petty and shallow thing to do. Aaron You Da One 00:10, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Too bad you can't see that it's a huge difference. I strongly encourage you think about it more.
BTW, your last comment is a personal attack which can also lead to you being blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 13:32, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:OWN and bullying

Calvin, I remain concerned about your editing in the context of ownership of articles and bullying those that you don't agree with. In addition to the issue above, I came across this edit which was clearly not reverting WP:Vandalism. Rather, it looks like edit-warring over an unsourced claim and once again, ownership of articles. I've been around long enough to know about the long-standing disputes about musical genres, sub-genres, micro-genres and made-up-genres.

I see in your editing, a general pattern of article ownership and bullying other editors. If comments like this continue, or you continue to unilaterally assert your opinion on articles through reversions like you did here, you will find yourself blocked, for a much longer period than last time.

I strongly suggest you start discussing such changes on article talk pages and get consensus before you continue such reversions. WP:BRD is great, but Bold editing is not a justification for imposing one's own view or for tendentious editing without consensus. BRD is good in articles where a "discuss first" method of consensus is unlikely to lead to quick progress. That is not the case here. Toddst1 (talk) 21:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I really don't see your case here. Other people change things dramatically (without saying), then I change them back because they didn't need to be changed. Then you say I need to ask before changing things back to how it was anyway? I don't see the logic. Surely someone should post first before they change, which would stop things like this happening. And it's true, we don't use that table of presenting things anymore, at least not in Wikiproject Rihanna. I'm actually really offended that you are saying that I am bullying a person, when he reverted (without any form of edit summary) just as much as I reverted him. Aaron You Da One 22:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
In that case, I expect that you'll be seeing additional blocks. Toddst1 (talk) 23:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
For saying my opinion? Says a lot for people then doesn't it. Aaron You Da One 00:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

When have I edit warred today exactly???? Where have I reverted on an article more than three times today?? I haven't. UNFAIR. Notice "Todd" hasn't been blocked. I've been blocked for merely replying to someone on my talk page about why he thinks I am being unreasonable which I find completely unfair. Where have a bullied someone? Give me an example of where I have maliciously victimised an editor; good luck with that, because you can't find an example because it's not true. I think it's a big mistake to block someone like me who has put so much time and energy into so many articles (35 of which are now GAs) over the past 12 months. All of this has come about because of the actions of what another editor was doing (removing content and adding original research) which I was trying to not let happen. Instead of blocking me, perhaps emphasis should be placed on the IPs who get off scot free even though they vandalise. I think some people clearly do not have anything else better to do than to try and victimise someone like me, who works hard on here. No one can deny that. Aaron You Da One 23:57, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Unblock reasons need to address your behavior. Your request gives me no confidence that the edit warring would stop were you to be unblocked. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:13, 12 June 2012 (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.

The fact that before the other day, I had never in the past 12 months of enhancing articles been blocked clearly accounts for nothing, nor the fact that I work hard on Wikipedia to make articles the best they possibly can. I'm just really annoyed, I'm sure you would be too. Aaron You Da One 00:18, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

The amount of work you have put into articles have no relevance to the type of behavior you have been displaying. Statυs (talk) 00:24, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Calvin, you have been showing extreme signs of article ownership over the articles you edit. You go on and on about you are always right "since I have 35 GAs, I know what I'm doing". Let's not forget this conversation, in which, you claimed to be "right from the beginning", but later realized I was in fact correct in the matter. You then went and bullied another user who decided to leave a comment about it, telling them nobody likes them. Just taking a look at his edit summaries alone are cause for alarm. You were blocked for edit warring, you do not have to pass 3 reverts to be blocked for that. He explained to you not to basically say "Rihanna wants some quickie sex", and you reverted him anyway, saying "it was fine for the DYK". Which, if you take a look at the DYK, it doesn't even say that. The song is about quickie sex. Statυs (talk) 00:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
    Hardly. Actually, with regard to The Silence, you was wrong saying that it wasn't a promotional single, when I proved that it was. And I removed Amazon for arguement's sake, it still said "The Silence" on that webpage. I haven't bullied anyone. People don't seem to know what bullying is. People don't have a problem saying they don't like me, but it's not okay for me to say people don't like someone else? I know exactly who has said things about me. But how is this relevant Status?? So I get blocked for 2 reverts, Todd doesn't even get told not to do it even though he also reverted and edit warred with me. Hmm, real fair. Aaron You Da One 00:15, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Again, where did I say that it wasn't a promotional single? I told you that it wasn't released as a promotional single on that date. What does not liking people have to do with anything? People are entitled to not like other people, but to publicly display that and additionally tell a user that nobody likes them is ridiculous. Especially since said user barely even edits. You're comments on Z33k's talk page discouraging him from editing. That is bullying someone on Wikipedia. Your comments: "Stop making these edits. The table is supposed to have the shaded box. I've promoted 33 articles to GA, I think I know how to do an article. Judging by your talk page, you do not. Continue, and I'll report you for vandalism." Perfect example of "I am always right because I have 33 GAs". It's pathetic. You need to cool your jets. Todd reverted you for a WP:BLP issue, which he explained to you. You reverted him because "it was alright with DYK". Perfectly fair in my eyes. Statυs (talk) 00:23, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Because he kept removing something that shouldn't have been removed! Are people blind to that? Clearly. I know exactly why you don't like me, I'm not stupid. I saw what was going on. Anyway, goodbye. Aaron You Da One 00:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't believe that anyone on this project has ever said they "don't like you" (not that it would matter anyway: this is the internet). Your behaviour is contrary to the policies you agreed to on this project. Athough many of your edits are great - and commendable - those positive contributions should never come at the expense of civility, referencability, or indeed, community action as a whole. As you have been advised, unless you become more community-oriented, and STOP the belief that you have special abilities to be a WP:DICK towards other editors simply because you've made a few good edits, then I also expect future blocks, unfortunately.

"No critical or substantial commentary on the deluxe cover, so it must not be included" << Could you perhaps explain to me what this means? Not being rude, just honestly want to know what you mean is all! MusicFreak7676 TALK! 16:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

You are only mean't to include the deluxe cover if critics or reviewers have specifically commented on it, otherwise it has no notability for inclusion. See Talk That Talk; it might help you see what you need in order to include it. Aaron You Da One 16:51, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
You mean if they haven't? Oh, see, I never knew that. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me Aaron! I'll try and look to see if they commmented on it. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 16:53, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
That's okay. Aaron You Da One 16:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
