Orphaned non-free image File:Cmalogo.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cmalogo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica Dykstra

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 Jessica Dykstra requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 20:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Rob Delaney

The article Rob Delaney has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Minor league player, not really notable

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Non-free rationale for File:UsaBaseball.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:UsaBaseball.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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jessica Dykstra

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jessica Dykstra, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/46584-jessica-dykstra/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica Dykstra

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 Jessica Dykstra requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/46584-jessica-dykstra/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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.

I made Jessica Dykstra's page a while ago. When she reached a stage where I thought her notability increased, I made it a second time. When I heard that she was in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I contacted people who confirmed for me that this did indeed make her notable. She is or she isn't. I just did what I thought I was being told. I'm not sure what the reason is for the deletion. Someone thought I plagiarized the content of the article when I resored it. In actuality, someone else plagiarized what I had written. Regardless, I'm at the "whatever" stage of the game.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 21:07, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Dave Freisleben

Hey, sorry for the delay in responding (I'm at the "been here so long that I don't really come and do stuff anymore" phase of my wikicareer). While it is interesting that that's his only image online, since he's still alive having a fair use image is a non-starter. As for Gromek, since they did not have any comments on the FFD and they did not note it happening on the image in the article (which they're supposed to and we both would've seen it there) I just restored it, which is allowed as a contested prod and fine-tuned the rationale to be safe.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:20, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Spasm, OK, but this is not the first time, right? When the edit filter pings up an alert about blogs, please don't just carry on regardless. You're just one of a million editors and blogs and other crap sources are being added at the rate of hundreds per week, which creates a mountainous backlog of work to clean up.

Why do I feel like I'm being scolded? Regardless, I added the blog as a source because there really isn't much about Powell on the net, and thought anyone reading this article might be interested in further readings on the guy. I compared the information used in the blog to other more credible sources before I added it, and saw that it checked out.

A whole boatload of issues

I've been cleaning up your edits to not just Bobby Floyd but Danny Napoleon, Dick Tidrow, Tom Underwood, and Cass Michaels at least. There are persistent problems in your edits. Not in any particular order

1 Your use of self published blogs as references such as this one[1]. That violates WP:SPS. Note- You have been asked not to do this beforeUser talk:Johnny Spasm#Blogs. @JzG:

2 Putting a reference on a sentence on a sentence that doesn't corroborate the sentence. Like this one[2] for Bobby Floyd coaching for the New York Mets in 2001 and 2004.

3 original research like putting in Tidrow's article that he was only traded for pitchers. That's not referenced too.

4 Neutral point of view. What is a player's best year or not what their career highlight is an opinion and unless referenced don't belong in the article.

5 Totally unreferenced material like the bit about Danny Napoleon's family.

I'm seeing these things over and over again....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why you insist on starting an edit war with me. I cited the sentence about him being a coach with the Mets, which by the way, was a fact in this article BEFORE I began working on it. Everything I've added to this article I've sourced. The one other fact in this article that I didn't add, the bit about pitching in the minors for a game HAPPENED. I looked on Baseball-Reference.com, as could you. Instead, you remove factual information. Just leave the article alone. I know what I'm doing. Look at my edits of Jerry Mumphrey, Chuck Hiller, Tom Underwood, Ray Burris, Mike Torrez or any of the other countless articles I've expanded.Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:18, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Read what I wrote above....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gimme a break; I haven't touched Cass Michaels' page in 5 years! And is it really all that much of a stretch to say that an 0-6 pitcher on a last place team's most memorable start came when he pitched against his brother in his major league debut? And Dick Tidrow WAS only ever traded for pitchers. I listed all his trades and sourced them. Look at his trade history if you don't believe me. As far as using Centerfield Maz as a source, anytime I've ever used a blog as a source, wikipedia never allowed it. If it's a blog, unbenounced to me, fine, take that out. I really don't care. Beyond that, you're being absolutely silly.Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's an exaggeration to say you've sourced everything you've added. The bit about Napoleon's personal life was not sourced and contained information about presumably living persons. You also made several unsourced or partially sourced edits to Bobby Floyd. Whether something can be found easily on Baseball Reference is irrelevant; it's your job to add a reference for new information you add. WilliamJE's other points are over some more minor things (like whether he's only been traded for pitchers), but they're valid. Either a source says something, or it doesn't. I don't think anyone here is accusing you of being an incompetent editor ("I know what I'm doing")—but you are not applying the rules consistently. (On top of all of this, it would be pretty useful if you added edit summaries for substantive changes.) --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 21:01, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On Danny Napoleon, source #1, the link to Napoleon's Hall of Fame article, states that he's an assemblyman. Also, what did I add that is not sourced to Bobby Floyd's article? Again, the bit about him pitching in the minors was in the article before I ever touched it. Talk to the person who added it, and tell him to source it. All I did was not remove it because when I looked it up, it turned out to be true. Add a link to his Baseball-Reference article if you find it necessary.Johnny Spasm (talk) 21:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're very funny. You edited into Napoleon's article 'where he became a state assemblyman'. The Hall of Fame article you keep citing[3] says 'Napoleon retired from baseball and has worked as a car assem-bler for General Motorsin Wilmington, Del., for the past 25 years.'...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:00, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a 2 page PDF file. Page 2, box right in the middle.Johnny Spasm (talk) 23:57, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A couple observations I'd like to make:

1) Before I edited it, there were 2 references on Dick Tidrow's article. There are now 54, including articles to every trade he's been involved in. He'd been traded for a total of 7 players. The fact that every one of them is a pitcher, while not "HOLY CRAP!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS A PITCHER" significant, is significant, and worth a mention.

2) Danny Napoleon is dead. The way his article currently reads, one wouldn't know that.

3) The Toronto Blue Jays lost 109 games in 1979. Tom Underwood went 9-16. He wasn't on the mound for Carl Yastremski's 3000 hit or anything like that. He pitched against his brother making his major league debut, the only time it has ever happened in major league history. I don't think calling it his "most significant start" was a stretch. Especially since it turned out to be a very impressive pitchers duel.

4) I know the difference between an opinion and a fact. Every time I've referred to a player's best season, it's been when that opinion has crossed over into fact, and I've included facts to validate that it is not really an opinion (I hope the way I phrased that makes sense). Every time I called a player's best season his best season, I've also included the facts that he had career highs in X, Y & Z.

5) I've been going through Larry Hockett's list of veteran stubs, and I've been enjoying it. I worked on Kevin Elster's article. I've corrected quite a few incorrect statements in articles over the years, but his was the first article that I found 3 separate incorrect statements in. I take pride in the level of research I've put into all of my articles, but if someone is going to shadow my work, and make major issues over what I consider minor issues, it takes the enjoyment out, and I'm not going to bother. Seriously, take Jerry Mumphrey as an example. He had a 4190 bytes article with only one real source before I got to it. It now has 35 sources, and is over 5 times the size. I need to be told that there are "issues" with this article because I referred to him as a "speedster"? I said that at the point in his career where he came up from the minors with a reputation as a speedster, and had only ever been used as a pinch runner. "Speedster" seemed accurate, but whatever. If someone can look at that article, and that's what one takes from my work, I don't see a reason to continue to put this work in. Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:35, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For a editor who has a large number of edits around here, your lack of knowledge of WP policies or your intentionally ignoring them is significant. You say you know them but

1- No source says Tidrow says he was always traded for a pitcher. Even if you have six references for six trades, WP:SYNTH aka WP:OR applies. You can not use multiple sources to draw a conclusion none of them say.

2- Your edit was not referenced, he has never been a State assemblyman, and the bit about his son is a violation a WP:OR if you got it from the son.

3 and 4- Read the part of WP:NPOV known as WP:Subjective. Which reads- 'Wikipedia articles about art and other creative topics (e.g., musicians, actors, books, etc.) have a tendency to become effusive. This is out of place in an encyclopedia.' 'And their is WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV which reads- ' Biased statements of opinion can be presented only with in-text attribution. For instance, "John Doe is the best baseball player" expresses an opinion and cannot be asserted in Wikipedia as if it were a fact. It can be included as a factual statement about the opinion: "John Doe's baseball skills have been praised by baseball insiders such as Al Kaline and Joe Torre." Opinions must still be verifiable and appropriately cited.'

- As the other editor said, all my points are valid. You need to change your editing style....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote my last comment before going to work. I had the whole work day to think about this, and I'm done. Seriously, I'm done. I've put hours of research into the articles I've worked on. For all that work to merit a section in my talk page called "A whole boatload of issues" says a lot about how little anyone cares about the effort I've put in. I get enough "Are you on Wikipedia again?" from my in the next room. Now on, I'm gonna be in the next room with her. Peace.Johnny Spasm (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chicken Dance in He Said, She Said (film)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Chicken Dance, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In particular, please review WP:IPCV, and please don't add disambiguation links to articles. DonIago (talk) 03:26, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added a youtube video of the Chicken Dance in the movie He Said, She Said. I kinda think that should count as a source. I couldn't find anything to substantiate that the last performance by Legs & Co. was the chicken dance, other than an interview with one of the dancers in which she says that & a blog. I know blogs are a no-no, so I didn't source it. I don't edit nearly as much as I used to because wikipedia's admins piss me off. Nothing personal if you are one. Anyway, do what you must. Johnny Spasm (talk) 01:41, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A YouTube video simply showing the dance being performed won't satisfy WP:IPCV; you need to provide a secondary source for "in popular culture" items. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 03:32, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know a youtube video doesn't count as a source, and that is part of why I find wikipedia so silly. We're talking about a scene in a movie. I post that scene in the movie, and the reference & link is removed. "Nope. Doesn't count. It's a youtube video. You need a source saying they did it. You can't show the scene where they actually do it." Backwards silly logic.Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:47, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you review WP:IPCV? Because a source that simply said "they did it" would be equally unacceptable for "in popular culture"-style items. DonIago (talk) 13:48, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure I understand your point. I didn't add a link saying they did the Chicken dance in He Said, She Said. I added a link to the actual scene. For some reason, in Wikipedia logic, that isn't a credible source. OK, you removed it. Johnny Spasm (talk) 14:25, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, did you read WP:IPCV? For "in popular culture" items a secondary source is required. A link to the scene is not a secondary source. If anything, a link saying they did it would be more likely to satisfy the requirement. DonIago (talk) 14:48, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, and I didn't find that secondary source. You removed my work from the article because a video of what I said happened happening isn't considered reality on Wikipedia. I think it's stupid, but I don't make the rules. Nice people like you follow the rules, and you removed a fact from an article with a youtube video as a source because that isn't considered a source. You did an admirable job in Wikipedia world, and I suck. I don't know what else to tell you.Johnny Spasm (talk) 01:43, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I removed it because, as WP:IPCV discusses, the point isn't whether it happened, the point is whether anyone considered it significant that it happened. I don't really understand why you appear to have trouble comprehending this, but I'm running out of ways to try to explain it, and you're not providing any indication that you read the linked information. DonIago (talk) 04:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is the fact that it appeared in Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius more relevant? If anything, I would think that the appearance in He Said, She Said is more relevant, as it happened there first. It's the first appearance of the dance in a movie to my knowledge. I consider that relevant, you don't. You removed it. What do you want from me? Johnny Spasm (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't more relevant, and the source provided also didn't satisfy IPCV, and as such, I've removed it; thank you for bringing it to my attention. If the appearance in HS, SS is really the first appearance of the dance in a movie and you can find a source that says that, then by all means add it in with the source that makes that statement. DonIago (talk) 01:38, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the first appearance to my knowledge. I'm not certain it is the actual first. As to whether or not I've ever reviewed WP:IPCV or any of wikipedia's other rules, the answer is no. I write what I write, and if a video of an event happening isn't enough evidence to prove that it happened in wikipediaverse, then someone else can take it out. I bet Derek Chauvin wishes he was tried on wikipedia. Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:39, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd link you to the policies concerning why your viewpoint is problematic, but you wouldn't read them anyway, so it seems I'm just wasting my time here. DonIago (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fascism. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. YBSOne (talk) 16:16, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Fascism) for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024 II

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Your statement: People are acting like fascists on fascism's page[4] is a rather severe attack. Making such an attack is particularly unwise during a related block. O3000, Ret. (talk) 01:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is laughable. If you know fascism, this is classic fascism. Do something, then accuse others of doing what you are doing. All I did was add a request for citation. Is that too much to ask on Wikipedia? No, it isn't. Right now, there is an insulting attack on my ideology that is uncited, and I'm being criticized for pointing that out.Johnny Spasm (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not fascist to revert users who are changing a long-established lead to an article without prior discussion. — Czello ^(music) 11:45, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I want to question this: there is an insulting attack on my ideology that is uncited. Are you admitting to being a fascist, or to being far-right? Either way, that's a problem. — Czello ^(music) 11:45, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness, I assume the ideology in question is far-right-wingedness, not fascism. Based on some of their edit summaries, I wonder if OP has misunderstood the sentence in question; some seem to imply that they think the sentence means that "far-right is fascism", i.e. all far-right ideologies are fascist, which to be clear is not what it's saying. The sentence says the inverse: "fascism is far-right"; i.e. it says that all fascism is contained within the far-right umbrella, but not all far-right things are fascist. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 12:19, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, that seems like the likely explanation. I think Johnny admitting to being on the far-right would also be an issue, but I suppose we're going to see if that manifests in his editing. — Czello ^(music) 12:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Czello proves my point. He says that being far right is a problem. Please don't tell me that I am the problem on Wikipedia when the actual problem on Wikipedia wears it as a badge of honor.Johnny Spasm (talk) 01:47, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given Johnny's suggestion that the Biden administration is far left, there may well just be a general misunderstanding around ideological labels and what they mean. But then, I have a one sentence user page, so what do I know. CAVincent (talk) 04:49, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are 22 sources within first 7 references. How many did you check? You cannot expect people to do your homework for you and leave a request, a demand for it on the main article, do you? YBSOne (talk) 13:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
