Seriously? Again? I thought you'd stopped. Ravensfire (talk) 15:01, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

User pages and user_talk pages

Hi. Please don't move your user page and user talk page to another user name, even one that doesn't exist yet. If you want to rename your account, go to the WP:Changing username page. Otherwise, please remove the redirect from your user page to another page. You can redirect your user page to your talk page if you wish. Thanks. Ravensfire (talk) 22:18, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Ravensfire, I was just about to ask what is going on with this editor's signature going to User:Browniee and User talk:Browniee. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 12:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello D'SuperHero, Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! I must take issue though with your nomination for speedy deletion of the page I created, Deadly Buda. The article is clearly not about a musical recording! Thus, you cannot use that criteria as a reason for speedy deletion. It is about a person's role in starting a music subculture, backed by good reference material. It is also about that person's role as a noted visual artist, also well referenced. Also, I am just starting the article and plan to add much more to it. DonFrenzi (talk) 10:36, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Deadly Buda

Hi. I've replaced your speedy deletion tag on Deadly Buda (A9 -> A7) as the tag you used is only for musical recordings and the subject of the article is not a musical recording. 823510731 (talk) 13:24, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Timuçin Şahin

Please stop re-adding db-a1 speedy tags to Timuçin Şahin: context is well established. Please review Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#A1._No_context for clarification of what db-a1 is for. Thank you. Norvoid (talk) 10:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

You've re-added the tag again, with the edit summary "until no contestion please stop removing template". I did not create the article, and I am contesting the deletion. Please see WP:CSD, which says " The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. " Your continual reversions are probably in breach of WP:3RR: please stop. Norvoid (talk) 10:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

You have speedy tagged this article, but this was contested, repeatedly, by different, very respected Wikipedians. There in no point for you to keep re-adding your tag. Your opinion has been heard and addressed already.
Just a friendly reminder.
Greetings. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your speedy deletions

I've just removed the speedy tag db-g11 you added to MLG Counter-Strike:Global Offensive Major Championship: Columbus. This is in no way promotional: please read WP:CSD carefully before you resume adding speedy deletion tags to new articles. Norvoid (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Stop being disruptive, Jin

Jin, PLEASE stop being disruptive and listen to the feedback your getting above and stop ignoring it. It's just causing more and more problems, taking up more and more of other people's time. Ravensfire (talk) 14:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Formal warning re: speedy deletion tagging

Please stop your disruptive editing. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.

Stop adding deletion tags where they do not belong, or find yourself blocked. —Swpb^talk 16:06, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Mistaken warning message

This edit, in which you warned an editor about making an unsuitable report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, was evidently a mistake, as the editor has never made a report there. I suggest that you remove your message, and perhaps you would also like to post a message explaining that it was a mistake. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:58, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Please stop biting new editors

Please read Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers. Your actions toward new editor UndergroundDarkSkull are a good example of how not to deal with mistakes by new editors. UndergroundDarkSkull created Gabriel Delmas. You speedied it A3, then when they tried to remove the tag and create the article, you slapped a level 4 warning on their talk page. There was no welcome message, and little clue given of what they should do next. Next time, use a level 1 warning, and if there's a problem, then talk to the editor before beating them over the head with a level 4 tag. They will certainly not be blocked from editing after one removal of a deletion tag while trying to create their first article, and jumping straight to level 4 warnings as some sort of time saver to get them listed on AIV is a violation of both the letter and spirit of Wikipedia policy. You need to learn to WP:Assume good faith, and quit going all Robocop on new editors. Thank you. Norvoid (talk) 12:44, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Aamir Khan: On Intolerance

Hi,

I had recently made some edits to the Aamir Khan page. I had added a quote from him which clarified why he made the comments on intolerance. Now, that quote is gone and the most immediate deletion, citing vandalism, was done by you. Can you confirm if you removed that quote? If so, why and what was the disagreement? Please let me know so that we can make that article better. Note that there was no vandalism on my part, I think that quote makes the intolerance argument more balanced.

Thanks, Vvnmithun (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Vvnmithun, I had added that quote into the quotebox being not in vandlism category and i didn't removed it. In addition, the quotebox is given already so need to worry enough. Thanks. D'SuperHero (talk) 05:37, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Arundalmia

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 Arundalmia, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. TJRC (talk) 23:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Looks like this notification went to you because User:Arundalmia created it by moving his talk page there, and since you were the first person to post on his talk page, Wikipedia shows you as technically the creating editor. Sorry about the false alarm. TJRC (talk) 23:18, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

December 2015

Hello D'SuperHero. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Dreamyproject. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. The article seems a bit promotional to me, however it doesn't fit to A1 since it was created just 1 minute ago. You should wait around 15 minutes and then you can tag it. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 06:39, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I noticed a similar issue at Wound healing assay. In that case, there was over an hour between the article creation and the A1 tag, but WP:A1 says, "If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, A1 is not appropriate." The subject was clear to me, and with only minimal effort, I was able to confirm the notability of this subject, fix some formatting problems and expand it a little. EricEnfermero (Talk) 09:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to pile on this a bit but your tag on মিসিসিপি মহাসড়ক ৪৭৩ for speedy deletion under WP:G1 is also invalid. G1 specifically does not include coherent non-English material, or poorly translated material. As has already been said, thank you for page patrolling, it is important but it is also important that it is done correctly. I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but please take time to read the patrol instructions and especially the criteria for speedy deletion. Incidentally in the is case I have deleted মিসিসিপি মহাসড়ক ৪৭৩ but under WP:A10 and will be leaving a message for the page creator. Nthep (talk) 09:51, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

2018 Election pages

Hello. I don't mean to be aggressive nor stepping your toes. I just want an explanation why

1. the 2018 election pages are "inappropriate"
2. What policy it is a violation of.

Thank you in advance for the explanation.

Winterysteppe (talk) 16:30, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Winterysteppe First of all, the pages you've made doesn't have any claims of significance rather creation of 1 liner article. Moreover get to know that Wikipedia doesn't act like a crystal ball as future events, which have been specified so earlier prior its date do not have any Wikipedia page. Marvel has a total line-up of films until 2019 but still it do not have their own Wiki page. Read the guidelines and edit the pages with accuracy. D'SuperHero (talk) 05:35, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

So more or less, the pages should have more than 1 one of text to it,,, and more or less should be created when the draws nearer? Winterysteppe (talk) 14:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Winterysteppe my friend an article must have good citiations, well written without copyvio. Plus as for future articles, i told you to read this WP:Crystal. And follow up with these guidelines. Single text articles are highly discouraged. D'SuperHero (talk) 14:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation! Winterysteppe (talk) 14:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

PSO

Hey can someone please make the playstation originals page. Its making a ratchet and clank movie and it has a show called powers in 2015. Crazybob2014 (talk) 17:39, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

One question. Is it too early to create the page for Star Wars 8?

Is it too early to create the page? i know its slated to be released in 2017 May 26th but i was wondering if there is a "general timeframe" for creating of early pages. Winterysteppe (talk) 21:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Winterysteppe: Read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If you finished reading and still don't understand the answer, then the specific answer for your question is when filming has begun for it. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 21:09, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: By that reasoning, its fine to create the page since some filming has occurred, as evidenced by this Telegraph.co.uk article. But thank you. Winterysteppe (talk) 21:13, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Winterysteppe: Hm. Not sure if this is considered reliable because it is 'rumors'. Read the WP is not a crystal ball if you want to be sure. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 21:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: true true. i'll not bother until confirmed filming occurs. Winterysteppe (talk) 21:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Danhostel Copenhagen City

I added some ref & one source to the article, do you thimk it was improved enough to be un-tagged?--D.mod.61 (talk) 13:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@D.mod.61: Although I am not the user, I will take the tag off since the sources are WP:Reliable and enough for a stub article. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 13:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Please go back and review the speedy deletion criterion before doing anymore speedy deletion tagging. I just declined three speedy deletions that you tagged as not having enough context to understand what the article is about. All three of them had plenty of information to understand what they were about. -- GB fan 14:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I just declined another A1 speedy deletion nomination you did. You obviously do not understand the criterion. Do not tag any more articles with A1 until you have reread the criterion and understand it. -- GB fan 12:33, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I also just saw that Mike Rosoft declined another one for the same concern. -- GB fan 12:35, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

DYK

Hi: I noticed that you promoted the Beer jam article at Template:Did you know nominations/Beer jam and added the DYK talk template to the article's talk page (diff), but I don't see it in any of the DYK queues. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:14, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for following up. Note that I have removed the DYK talk template from the Beer jam talk page (diff), because the article did not appear as a DYK on 28 December. DYKUpdateBot typically performs the addition of the template when DYK entries appear on Main page, so you don't need to add the template in advance. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:03, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I notice that you have now removed the entry from prep area 1 and have reverted your comment above that was previously here on this page ("The article has been added in prep area 1", diff). Since you're a new user, I strongly recommend that you abstain from promoting DYK nominations, because when you promote them but don't properly list the hooks, you are throwing away people's hard work. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I have corrected the matter by adding the entry to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2. Again, please consider the advice I suggested above. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:16, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect CSD on User:Ved_save

Hiya. I saw that you tagged User:Ved_save as nonsense under the nonsense criterion. This criterion applies to pages that are illegible or otherwise truly unreadable.

rollback

Hi D'SuperHero. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Katie^talk 17:44, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

complaint against User:ARNAB22

This is a complaint against User:ARNAB22 ...Sir i just found out from the talk page of this user that even u have asked him to behave. But he simply refuses to do so. For instance, on the Bollywood wikipedia page, he has been posting a new pic of Shah Rukh Khan even though there is already a pic of Shah Rukh given there. And in the caption he writes that Shah Rukh has won "most number of awards", without giving any citation. Every time someone removes this pic and citation, he again posts it there, despite being warned against this. He recently did this on 20 Jan, 2016. In addition, he uses poor English in many of his other edits, and has been warned on this too by other users (see his talk page). I request you to take action against User:ARNAB22.

Improper use of Rollback

Please do NOT use Rollback for anything other than obvious vandalism. This edit is clearly NOT vandalism yet you used rollback to revert it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charas (2004 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hariharan.

D'SuperHero, a notice was posted to this talk page on February 3 about issues with the hook you've proposed for this nomination. You archived the notice on February 16, yet nothing has been done to address the issues that were raised.

You need to do something right away to respond to the review. If you don't, the nomination will probably have to be closed soon. Please take action very soon. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, could you review this list which I intent to nominate for FL. I had submitted it for peer review and received some comments from a user. He suggested me to call for more reviews from other users. --Inside the Valley (talk) 18:34, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Fan (film)

Hi there, I don't think I understand this edit. The reference you provided, this, doesn't say "psychological thriller". It doesn't even say "psychological" or "thriller". I've restored "thriller" and provided a reliable reference. Note also, that I don't care what genre the film is in, I only care what can be reliably sourced and agreed upon, and frankly since the film hasn't been released yet, it's definitely too early to get nitpicky about subgenres. Genre is subjective and we have to be sure to present the broadest representative genre. After all, one man's thriller is another man's suspense... Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb And what about first female billing?? Waluscha & other female characters credited before SRK using a 2013 source. I had even mentioned this on the film's talk page. SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 05:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

You've changed the subject. I'm asking about why you've asserted genres that are not supported by the reference you've provided. Do you not see a problem with that? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

I know i had agreed to the claim. But im asking you for billing discussion. SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 06:05, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

The instructions for the |starring= parameter in the infobox is Template:Infobox film. Starring roles are determined by the billing block on the film's poster. If that's not available, as it typically is not in Indian cinema, the film's onscreen credits can be used. If that's not helpful (i.e. if no distinction is made between "Starring" and the rest of the cast) official production websites are sometimes used. WP:FILMCAST covers the rest. Shahrukh Khan isn't in charge of Wikipedia, so his preference that women's names should be listed before his isn't something we need to adhere to, however, (and this is very important) if a film's theatrical release poster puts the female lead actor's name first, or if the credits give the female lead a starring credit first, then absolutely we should observe that without question, because we always go with the official ordering. Wikipedians have to be vigilant to avoid conscious and unconscious gender bias, which means we need to constantly be evaluating the content we submit. Wikipedia is frequently criticized as male-centric and anti-feminist, and we have to be sure we are taking all opportunities to promote equality while still being faithful to the sources. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 12:27, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

What was your rationale for removing the Plot section at Fan (film)?

Regarding this edit, what was your specific objection to the inclusion of plot in the article? "no need please!" doesn't quite cut it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:29, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Cyphoidbomb first let the film release. There was no point of adding summaries or even plot. Only silver lining is the film's small chunk of story that "a FAN turns a nightmare for his STAR". So anything else on it? SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 13:57, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Plot is integral to film articles. If a general plot line can be identified and supported by reliable sources, a simple sentence about it is surely warranted at this stage. There's no requirement at MOS:FILM that a single sentence about the plot be suppressed until the film is released. It doesn't need its own section just yet, but absolutely something like "The film centers on a young man, Gaurav, who becomes obsessed with, Aryan, a popular Indian movie star" in the lead is completely suitable if that is what the film is about. We should be editing based on established community norms, not arbitrary preferences. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:56, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Rock a Bye Baby Nursery.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rock a Bye Baby Nursery.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SabreBD (talk) 16:39, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Read more closely, please

Surely you don't honestly think this content is suitable for inclusion, do you? This source you provided does not declare definitively that Fan is based on the other The Fan. Might it be? Yes. Is it very possible? Well, considering the rampant plagiarism in Indian cinema, absolutely! But can Wikipedia make that declaration based on that speculative, comparative write-up? No. Please read things more carefully. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:19, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb That "indeed" was my last edit on that page. If you are re-assessing it for "GA" of "FA" then it's fine. Already, the page has a protection and talking about plagiarism, many sources says this from relevant sites as a "copy" (slang for unauthorized remake), including Deccan Chronicle, DNA India, India TV and from a British-based The Huffington Post. Aaand kindly have a look on these sources (probably you wont believe the sites as independent sources, i bet) [1], [2], [3] and [4]. Neways thanks. SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 05:48, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea what you mean by "If you are re-assessing it for 'GA' or 'FA' then it's fine." What's fine? Making a controversial statement that isn't adequately substantiated? You still seem to miss the point. People noting similarities between a trailer and a film is not the same thing as saying definitively "this is an adaptation" or "this is a remake" or "this is a copy". The various sources you've provided ask, "Is this a copy?" They don't say that it definitively is. And even if they were all convinced (after the film was released) that it was a copy, it still is an opinion, not an incontrovertible fact that a conscientious editor would slap into the |based_on= parameter of the infobox. How are we keeping a neutral point of view when a Wikipedia editor has taken a side and decides that an opinion is a fact? This source that you provided says, "We are still unsure if this particular movie inspired Maneesh and SRK to make Fan". Does that justify your addition? Obviously not. I don't know how to make it any clearer. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Not to mention, an article on an upcoming film will NEVER be a FA or even an GA. Ravensfire (talk) 16:35, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Birdman live.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Birdman live.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Josh Milburn (talk) 02:26, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Agnostic Atheism Mark

Just curious, where did you find File:AgnosticAtheismMark.png. Do you know what website you found it on? You said on the image page that it was to be used on Tu Tu Main Main, but it does not appear that it was added there. It is currently used on Agnostic atheism. The image page probably should be updated. Thank you (please ping?) Jim1138 (talk) 19:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
