Help uploading

The first person ever to ask for my help. Anyway, click on the link on the left hand side marked upload, which will take you to the upload screen. Scroll down to the source filename and click the browse button. Find the relevant place where you have saved the image on your computer and attach it. The name that you saved it under will automatically appear in the destination filename box.

When uploading a film poster you need to go down to the licensing box and scroll down until you get to movie poster, which will tag it with the copyright status and also the http:// address where you found the poster which you put in the summary box.

Hope that clears it up for you (Quentin X 11:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC))

Stop reverting edits without discussion

Is there a reason you reverted all my edits with no edit summaries and without contacting me on my talk page? Please revert your edits. You need to take a look at Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories#Topic article rule and the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television. Those categories belong in the article, NOT the category. All the work I did is wasted because you have chosen to revert everything without discussing it with me. --musicpvm 07:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

As Time Goes By

I've noticed that you have moved As Time Goes By to As Time Goes By (TV series). There was a semi-discussion on the TalkPage about this and I think its a shame you didnt discuss it first. However, more importantly you didn't correct the links. All the As Time Goes By links that went to the TV article now go to a disambuation page, and it would have been nice if you had corrected these (using Special:Whatlinkshere/As Time Goes By) rather than just move the page and leave someone else to fix the links. --Berks105 15:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Useful tip

Hi, since you are working on company related info for films, I just wanted to say it would benefit more the articles if such info is entered in the main article body, instead of in infoboxes (like in Heidi's Song). Even if the article is not developed enough to have an appropriate section, such info can be just entered as a line. It's no big thing, but it helps in the long run. Cheers!

News Time

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter Issue 012 – April 2007
Beatles News On Friday 30th March, a deranged fan was held after attempting to force his way into Paul McCartney's mansion. See here for more details. Apple Corps continues to make news, after the recent settlement with Apple Computer over the use of the Apple trademark. On April 10th, the company announced that long-time chief executive Neil Aspinall had stepped down and had been replaced by American Jeff Jones. It was also announced that another long term dispute, this time with EMI over royalties, had been amicably settled prior to Aspinall's departure.[1][2] Project News The article "Jeff Jones (music industry executive)" suddenly becomes of top importance in the Apple sphere of Beatledom. User:Kingboyk has created a stub on the man, but the article needs urgent beefing up (including basic biographical data such as date and place of birth) and, if possible, a photograph of the new Apple chief executive. Mimi Smith promises to have the last word over John yet again; her article is currently a Featured Article Candidate. Brian Epstein is a current GA candidate. See the Status board for more article news. 2 new articles have been listed in the Project Log since 1 March: Tony Barrow and Jeff Jones (music industry executive). With the debate over "the Beatles" vs "The Beatles" continuing to cause ill feeling and a number of resignations from the project from advocates on both sides, Kingboyk attempted to diffuse the situation by blanking the Project Policy page and tagging it as {{historical}}. Although this unilateral action hasn't been reverted as of the time of writing, the reaction was mixed, with two members rejoining the project and others stating their disagreement. With the issue still not resolved, the page was sent to Miscellany for Deletion, for the wider community (and WikiProject The Beatles members) to consider the issue. Member News The membership list has been trimmed, with inactive members listed seperately to help gauge the status of the project. If you've been incorrectly listed as inactive, please don't be offended - just move yourself back to the main list.	The Rutles: The legendary group who inspired lesser imitators like "The Beatles".

Reprodding a deprodded article

Don't replace {{prod}} tags once they have been removed from an article (like you did here). Anyone can contest a proposed deletion; the system is not for controversial deletions, and once the tag's been removed, please don't replace it. You can nominate the article at articles for deletion instead if you want it deleted. Hope that helps! --ais523 16:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I was complaining about. You mustn't replace removed prod tags, as that's the method provided for in policy for contesting a prod; a {{subst:prod}} tag indicates that nobody has objected to the deletion, and its removal indicates that someone has. See WP:PROD for more details. --ais523 13:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Momentum Pictures

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Momentum Pictures, by TexasAndroid (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Momentum Pictures seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Momentum Pictures, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Momentum Pictures itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Kiss singles

Regarding the Kiss singles template you created - I'm curious as to whether or not such a template is currently being used for other bands, since all the other ones I've looked at incorporate the singles in the main template. Thanks. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 11:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for the reply, I hadn't seen those. Looking at the ones for the Beatles and Aerosmith I do actually like the look of them better than the Kiss one (no offense intended). I don't suppose you'd be up for altering the Kiss one to resemble the others? --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 22:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• I can help with formatting, but recommend we stick with listing them by year. With templates like these, the idea is to make them as small as possible. Besides that, albums are already listed in the main Kiss template. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 23:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Long Road Out Of Eden

Hi I moved the above page and I see you've re-moved it to "Long Road out of Eden" . I was wondering why?

AWB

Hmmm, I didnt realise there were different fields etc. It's probably easier to go to WP:BOTREQ and let someone else write and run the bot, and pick a simpler task. Templates with different fields etc can be quite complex. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 06:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: How do you do it

Hi FMAFan1990, about the AWB question, what I did was to first make a list of all transclusions of the template, and then use find and replace functions of AWB to replace the template name and related fields with the new ones. Of course I needed to check every edit to make sure that they look right and manually edit some templates for which the automated process did not yield expected results. Best, --Kudret abi 06:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EBot Task2

FMAFan1990, you may be interested in the request for an additional task that E (talk · contribs) has submitted for his bot. If approved, his bot will achieve your bot's purpose in toto, as {{Infobox Guitarist}} has already been deprecated. If you're interested in deferring to him as the more experienced bot operator, the requested task can get off the ground that much faster.

Cheers! — madman bum and angel 12:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Please note that your bot request was denied by Mets501 (talk · contribs). However, EBot (talk · contribs) has been approved for trial and will perform the task you requested. For the BAG, — madman bum and angel 12:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Replacement of deprecated templates

Could you please see the request at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EBot Task2 in which you suggested at WP:BOTREQ. More information is needed for the change as bot errors occured with the template syntax. Please comment or the request will not be fulfilled. — E ^talk_bots 11:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Breaking Template:Infobox Band

Yes, I'm well aware of your attempts. Updating all transclusions of {{Infobox Band}} to {{Infobox musical artist}} is indeed a very good idea. However, that change breaks the existing articles using the band infobox. It should be entirely possible to have a bot update the articles without breaking the band infobox. If you cannot figure out how to do this, perhaps you should leave this task to someone who can. I've reverted again. --PEJL 04:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's see if I can get some bot to make the {{Infobox Band}} look like this:

{{Infobox Band
| band_name       = 
| image           = 
| caption         = 
| origin          = 
| country         = 
| years_active    = 
| actual_status   = 
| music_genre     = 
| record_label    = 
| us_distribution = 
| current_members = 
| past_members    = 
| website         = 
}}

FMAFan1990 04:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll just have the image size done away with entirely for now as well. FMAFan1990 04:24, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't put too much effort into it, because any bot that can convert inconsistent formatting into that formatting, can just as easily convert it directly into {{Infobox musical artist}}. However, a bot that would clean up existing formatting of musical artist infoboxes would be nice. Something similar is discussed for the album infobox here.

Another issue is that in most cases the image size that is in band infoboxes can just be dropped entirely when converted to the musical artist infobox. Band infoboxes need an image size to avoid using a full-size image (which is often way too big), but the musical artist infobox defaults to a suitable size, which is often better than the more or less random size in the band infobox. There are a few other such finer points that need to be kept in mind when converting these infoboxes. --PEJL 04:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Double albums

Hi, I noticed that you re-added Blood Sugar Sex Magik to the List of double albums, which I had previously removed. There was a discussion with a few editors on the talk page about guidelines for inclusion in the list, and one of the ones that was proposed was that if it takes up more than one unit of the intended format, then it's a double. Regarding BSSM, it was released in 1991, after compact discs had become the standard packaging method, so we can assume that the album was intended to be on CD. Once CDs became the most common product, an LP release of the same album generally had to be either trimmed down to fit on a single record, or issued as a double LP, so by that token, the list would need to contain a HUGE number of albums from the past couple decades, which fit just fine on a single CD. For a few examples, Tori Amos' Boys for Pele, The Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and Soundgarden's Superunknown and Down on the Upside were all released on LP, and even though there are two pieces of vinyl in each of those, they really aren't double albums. — Wwagner 14:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

infobox band and user pages

You asked about replacing infobox band on user pages and talk pages. Here's my advice (and what I've done myself in a few cases). On a user page, check if the user seems to be active. If so, leave a note on the user's talk page explaining and offering to help. Otherwise, if it's the user's main page, and they're using the infobox to refer to themselves, I think upgrading to the new template is ok. If it's on a user sub page, and it's some sort of work in progress, consider proposing the page for deletion ({{prod}}) instead, because an inactive user is unlikely to ever complete the work. If you don't think a prod is appropriate or justified, then upgrading should be fine.

For transclusions on talk pages, I think subst: is probably the best choice in most cases. Generally, you don't want to mess with the historical record of old discussions. However, there may be cases where upgrading makes more sense. You'll just have to use your best judgement.

As for non-transclusions, I would leave talk pages alone, but for user pages, it can often be handy/helpful to replace the link in someone's "list of useful templates" with a link to the template they should be using. I've done this in a few cases, and nobody has complained. Yet. :) cheers, Xtifr _tälk 09:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Their page was in dire straits 4 months ago and a lot of hard work is beggining to pay off...but I'm the only guy doing much. Not just the main page, but the whole WikiProject I guess (Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen and some singles would all benefit from extra work)...it's almost there.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SSBB box art.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SSBB box art.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

You worked on the article 1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game. Nice job!

This article needs to have the references placed inline, and a tag has been placed on the article. I'd love to do it myself, but it would be easiest if the original resarchers would take care of it. Thank you very much!--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:59, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Plane Daffy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Plane Daffy.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to The Spirit of '76 (1990 film), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 02:56, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

It is inappropriate to link to Amazon.com's product listing for the film in an attempt to use that as a source. Please do not add this material back again unless you can cite a secondary source that satisfies WP:RS and WP:V. Cirt (talk) 03:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: This

The above edit violates our WP:NPOV. It's completely your opinion that they're speed metal. You need to back up all things on Wikipedia with reliable sources. Genres on Wikipedia are very touchy, and it's wise to discuss genre changes on an article's talk page before changing it at all and gain a consensus for your change. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 21:33, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Warnings

Do not leave warnings on the talk pages of regular editors of long-standing good repute. Read Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars and do yourself a favour. Take those ridiculous warnings off Wikilibs' page. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, looking at the edit you accused him over, he was reverting something which looked ridiculous, and something which you yourself have since reverted, so obviously Wikilibs had a point. Leaving "welcome to wikipedia" templates on his page makes you look like a troll. If you have issues with another editor that can't be sorted out, take it higher up. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

There's WP:DR and WP:ANI, but I really doubt that Wikilibs is harrassing you. Your edits were very much WP:OR and unsourced as far as I can see. Making claims over music genres is a very hot subject right now, and references are all important. The speed metal edit you made at "Achilles Last Stand" was a real sweeping statement, unsourced and not really based on any concrete information at all. Nothing personal whatsoever, but I have to say I'd have reverted you as well. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Shirley the Loon

Yes, I thought it might be. I remember thinking it a rather ambiguous debate that was rather boldly closed as delete. The Dominator^Talk_Edits 03:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

re: Jack Warner

I note that you indicated your change to the article was based on information from the book You Must Remember This: The Warner Bros. Story. The problem with your edit is that the content is inserted in front of a citation to a different source and not the book you indicate. That implies that it comes from the Bob Thomas book Clown Prince of Hollywood: The Antic Life and Times of Jack L. Warner and therefore creates a false citation. If you have content from the book you note, then it has to be added based on its own merits and under its own citation. Since this is a featured article, it is really held to a higher level of citation correctness from the moment changes are made. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Rock ballad?

Hello. I invite you to look up the definition of "rock ballad" before you revert my revert to the 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' page again, because this song is about as far from a rock ballad or power ballad or any sort of ballad as you can get. The very first line of the wiki article for rock ballad states that it is "a type of song typically characterized by having a slow tempo, long voiced notes, electric and/or acoustic guitars, and deemphasized percussion and bass." Given that the song in question is basically a dance track driven by a prominent synthesized bass line, I think it's pretty safe to say it falls outside the criteria. Thanks. --MemoriesFade (talk) 01:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Friday the 13th

You were reverted for two reasons. First, there is no source that proves that Warner Brothers intentionally spoofed Friday the 13th. Given that the animated film was made in 1990, they could have spoofed any aspect of the franchise (e.g., Jason, the first movie, the second movie, or the concept behind all of the movies), either way a reliable source is required to show that it is true. Finally, that is not something for the LEAD. The LEAD summarizes the article, it doesn't introduce new facts that are not mentioned anywhere else.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Warner never owned Friday the 13th, they only held distribution rights for international sales. That has nothing to do with the statement that you keep inserting their name into in the lead paragraph. Please read what it is saying, as it has nothing to do with international releases. Also, please stop inserting personal observations that are neither backed by sources (that is considered original research), nor immediately relevant to the article. New Line (before it went under) has owned Friday the 13th since the 90s. Warner Brothers bought New Line years go, so none of that is new news, nor does it affect this film in any special way that it needs to be noted.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Actually, you need to read the policy on verifiability and original research, namely the parts that say should you not provide a source for your information, or provide your own personal observation than your edits can be removed on the spot. If you continue to add unsourced, original research to the articles I will be forced to report you to an Administrator.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

What facts, you have provided no source to back up your claims. So, you have no facts. The "fact" that Warner Brothers is taking over distribution of New Line films is something for the New Line page, not something for all of the New Line film pages. Unless it was unique to Friday the 13th (which it isn't anyway), then it doesn't belong on the page. Simple as that. What reasoning to have for believing that it needs to be there instead on on the New Line page (with a source attached to it...that is the key ingredient that you are missing).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

We do not assume good faith with regard to sourcing information. Again, this is clearly stated in the policy on verifiability. You MUST provide an actual source for your edits, not just say "it's out there somewhere" and be done with it. That isn't how Wikipedia operates.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

February 2009

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to If U Seek Amy.

FMAFan1990, just because something seems obvious to you, doesn't mean that it isn't original research. It's when things seem most obvious to you is when you should take the extra time to find a reliable source before adding it to an article.. I mean, if it is indeed obvious, there should be plenty of sources, right? - Please keep this in mind when editing. You seem to be getting a track record for adding original research. --Versageek 05:20, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Please heed this comment by Versageek (talk · contribs), along with the multiple above warnings by others for adding unsourced content to articles and violating WP:NOR. I agree with Versageek that this unfortunately does seem to be developing into a pattern of adding original research to articles. Cirt (talk) 05:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

If you wish to change the policy then that is a separate discussion you could start at Wikipedia talk:No original research. But the policy at present is established community consensus and violating it repeatedly may result in a block. Cirt (talk) 05:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Watchmen

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Watchmen (film). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Home advantage

Please stop adding links to "home advantage" to the bowl articles. Being near the bowl site does not necessarily amount to any advantage, so linking to it is inappropriate.

KAL 007

I understand that you made a good faith edit, however I've reverted you again for several reasons: trivia sections are discouraged, your edit was unreferenced (indeed where inserted, it separated another detail from its reference), appears also to be original research and lastly, does not add any information about the KAL 007 incident. Please discuss on the article talk page should you disagree, however please avoid starting an edit war by simply reverting again. Thank you. Socrates2008 (Talk) 13:57, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello. When contributing to an RfC, please keep discussion on the Talk page. The individual "view by..." sections are for those agreeing with the stated view. Thanks. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 19:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

• Another important point - and one which bit me in the past - is that a second editor needs to "certify" it. If there isn't a second signature (and a description of attempts to resolve the issue) in the section Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Either way#Users_certifying_the_basis_for_this_dispute by 48 hours after the page was created, an admin will probably delete it. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 13:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

No offense intended

Although the discussion is still ongoing, I wanted to drop you a personal note to let you know I meant no offense from my comments. I know you mean well, and you're here to contribute to the encyclopedia. I just don't think you're going to get the results from this RfC that you're hoping for. If you don't mind me giving you some advice, sometimes, you just have to let things go around here. If you make quality contributions, they'll stay up, and if you have problems in the future once you've got a firm handle on what belongs in the wiki, just drop me a line on my talk page and I'll try and help.

He will come out smelling like a rose to bash, intimidate, berate, belittle, and threaten us some more so I have decided not to comment on the RfC.

I would recommend bringing back the RfC with proper certification and more information and linkage added. I would recommend that...but it would probably get deleted at the protest of Either way/Metros. I would let it go and if you have any problems with him in the future, keep track of those problems (with links) and then take it to RfC or ANI. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 07:51, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Editing Style

Hello, Please can i ask that in the interest of courtesy and for ease of understanding when making edits like you have done to Doll Domination can you provide an WP:edit summary. this helps other editors identify what changes have been made to articles.

A good faith discussion about trivia

I'm assuming good faith here with you, and I'd like to try and make you see why some editors are having problems with your edits. Much of what you are adding to the articles is either unsourced, trivial, or both. Just because some information exists on what production company may have distributed a show, or what other programs might be associated with their company, that doesn't make it worthy of inclusion in wikipedia. If you feel something like that is beneficial to the article, please don't take offense when someone else reverts or changes it later.

On Wikipedia, everyone here is free to edit everyone else's work. If that bothers you, then this wiki isn't for you. It happens to everyone, so please don't take it personally. Dayewalker (talk) 02:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

In regards to this response [5] where you wrote "knowledge is power," trivia isn't knowledge. It's trivia, which doesn't have any place in an encyclopedia. There are all sorts of facts and random bits of knowledge we could add to articles, but we don't because that's not what a general encyclopedia is for. There are specific wikis out there that can go into far greater detail, perhaps you'd enjoy working on one of those instead. Dayewalker (talk) 02:43, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

my edit summary was merely a parody of others used by the contributor. FMAFan1990 (talk) 20:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

A really short block

Please do not remove AIV reports upon yourself. The admins are quite capable of deciding if policies have been violated, and what - if any - action requires taking. I would comment that my first reaction to seeing you remove the report was to consider how long the block should be, because previously the only persons to remove a report were vandals attempting to stop or delay the inevitable sanction that their editing was likely to incur. Upon checking how long you had been editing Wikipedia, and the number and type of comments on this talkpage I decided upon a block of a few minutes to drive home the point that deprecating the process of AIV is really inappropriate (and to prevent further disruption in the future, of course). One "benefit", ironically, is that anyone who was minded to revert your edit will now find the report removed by a bot since you are now blocked... However, I would very seriously suggest that next time, if there is one, that you should simply note a comment under the report so the reviewing admin may consider it as part of the process. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Admins are quite capable of noticing these things - if people persist in making vexatious reports, they do get sanctioned themselves. If a report is invalid in future, please leave it so an independent party can make that judgment. ~ mazca ^t/c 20:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I can tell you this much: between your removing comments you don't like from your own talk page and elsewhere, and that nonsense on your user page, you may as well hang out a sign that says "I am a disruptive edit warrior." If you want to continue editing here, you will need to change your approach. Wikipedia requires collaboration with other editors. Friday (talk) 21:09, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Four columns/Celebrity Jeopardy!

Why do you guys insist on there being four columns for the contestants? I instead favor three, and then Burt Reynolds as a note. And why do you keep undoing my revision??? Purplebackpack89 (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Higher Ground

I am reverting your brazen disregard for consensus in the merger of "Higher Ground". You clearly did not read the talk page, where two discussions on the topic have found that the articles will remain separate. A simple, quick check of the talk page was all it took. Please refrain from executing any edits of this caliber without first checking talk pages as it could be in direct violation of pre-established consensus. NSR77 ^T 17:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Just a note to let you know that not all editors agree with above. It strikes me that if it is an article about a song then all the information should (generally speaking) be on the same page. The objection to the merge is probably more based on Wonder/RHCP and petty fandom than anything to do with the song or the contents of WP. As far as I know there is no direction regarding notability of versions of songs. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Former "CBS Corporation" subsidiaries

Your inclusion of Sony Music Entertainment in the category of "Former CBS Corporation subsidiaries" was reverted again because the name "CBS Corporation" is misleading. The corporation was called "CBS Inc." when CBS sold the record company to Sony. I would approve inclusion in the category in question only if the category name is renamed to "Former CBS subsidiaries." Steelbeard1 (talk) 10:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scary Movie 5

A tag has been placed on Scary Movie 5, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Fair use rationale for File:Gruesomegorillamrsgruesomebaby restored.jpg

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 02:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Sniffles article

Couldn't help noticing that in the body of the Sniffles article you credited three women (Gay Seabrook, Bernice Hansen, and Sara Berner) as voicing Sniffles in the 1939-46 theatrical cartoons, whereas in the infobox you credited two other women (Margaret Hill-Talbot and Colleen Wainwright). Why the discrepancy? Incidentally, in the IMDb.com listing of all 11 Sniffles cartoons, only Berner, Hansen, and Hill-Talbot (but not Seabrook or Wainwright) are credited as voicing Sniffles. However, in the IMDb.com article on Seabrook, she is so credited. What is the true story? Grammarspellchecker (talk) 06:58, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
