[edit]Hi, I just wanted to respond to your edit comments and clarify that winning awards at competitions does not make some subject notable. Only if that resulted in significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, does it make a difference. I cannot see any qualifying sources being cited in these particular articles, which is a common presumption to establishing notability. Also please don't say that other people are "trolling" without solid reasons, it does not help future communication with the persons, per WP:AGF. -- intgr [talk] 21:34, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
I disagree here and it looks like you're trolling too. Go bait someone else please, thank you! MEP MEP1697 (talk) 23:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- When Wikipedians say "notability", they're talking about the notability guideline, not a general concept of notability. If you disagree with Wikipedia guidelines, you're welcome to propose changes on the guideline's talk page. But until those changes are incorporated (I wouldn't bet on it), the current version of the guideline is in effect. -- intgr [talk] 23:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tristar and Red Sector Incorporated, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. freshacconci talk to me 22:01, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
I've reverted your change for being unconstructive. I'm sorry I forgot to add a comment, but waltzing into an article and proclaiming something is not demonstrating notability, when in fact there are multiple claims to such in the article... *That* is disruptive, unhelpful, and far from constructive. Thanks though. MEP MEP1697 (talk) 23:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- There are no third-party sources at all in the article, so notability is not established. You've received a final warning for removing templates without a valid reason. Either find sources that establish notability or leave the template alone. freshacconci talk to me 00:21, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Spaceballs (demogroup), without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. -- intgr [talk] 23:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Tristar and Red Sector Incorporated. freshacconci talk to me 00:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
"trolling"
[edit]Thank you for your interest in improving wikipedia. If I may be so bold, may I gently suggest that calling the actions of others "trolling" or calling other users "trolls" is not constructive to wikipedia, and additionally makes your communication ineffectual. One of our core policies is Assume Good Faith. It is fine to disagree with other editors as to what is or is not notable, but please approach the communication assuming that your fellow editors are here to improve the encyclopedia. Thanks! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:51, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
