Necroshine95

Just a thought - it might be better to hold of any more reverting until the SPI result is in, just to be sure we have a solid case and a block. (I don't really have any doubt, but it would avoid possible wikilawyering and counter-accusations) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 02:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

No surprise, the SPI confirmed the socking, and his latest account has been blocked. I've reverted his edits - some of them might have been good, but we don't reward socks by allowing them to edit. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:50, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

NPV issue

Thank you for updating the section →First name on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9. The reason why the two boxers were removed previously was because literally every other line in the article was a boxer! Most of these were one-liner articles, which clearly did not reflect an NPV regarding the usage of the name itself globally.

In the meantime Nobel Peace Prizes, statesmen, major figures from the literary world and from the sciences were simply missing; and this is an encyclopaedia entry after all...

I have a PhD in History and Philosophy, I have done some boxing in my day, and I'm not acquainted with any of the two links you included. But I am just concerned that in previous versions, half the name list was being used to spam advertise fighters. Again, every other line was a Hispanic boxer. Two of the fighters weren't even 21yr-old. I did leave two notes on the Talk page at the time. And again, this is not an article about boxing! It's an article on the name José. 94.170.99.72 (talk) 00:55, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Just read your message on my talk page. Thank you for that. You'll notice that I have kept the changes you made. Sorry for the mishap. Cheers. 94.170.99.72 (talk) 20:12, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Sourcing Videos

Yes, I see that I had written of music videos on pages and you deleted them, so do I have to put links to the video on YouTube for it? Caughtinmosh88 (talk) 13:39, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Judgement/Judgment on POI

The correct spelling of the word judgment and the episode title are the same -- no 'e'. We hashed that out a while ago. Evidently there was a press release with the erroneous (or alternate) spelling early on which some media sites pick up (and I believe at least some have subsequently corrected), and some WP:SPA made a HUGE stink about it, so a couple other editors and I did some research to sort it out. CBS and the DVD as well as the TV Guide and TitanTV (which sends descriptions to your cable box) listings have the spelling Judgment. Some of the discussion may still be on the talk page, but I'll have to double-check; it got a little weird and a lot was removed because of WP:NPA violations. If not, I can direct you back to roughly where it is in the page history if it matters. --Drmargi (talk) 18:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Under the Influence

Is it considered unreliable because it's in another language or is it just flat out unreliable? Caughtinmosh88 (talk) 16:16, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Megadeth

Megadeths website also says that Cryptic Writings hit Platinum[1] which isn't the case. Unfortunately, not everything on Megadeths website is correct. The originals Dates were right Caughtinmosh88 (talk) 01:26, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

How bout allmusic then? Is that ok? Caughtinmosh88 (talk) 02:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
I get what you're saying about trusting the bands website but as you'll see in the link posted above, they say Cryptic Writings hit Platinum in 1998 but here at the RIAA database it's still gold [2] not only that it also shows the release date for the album which matches the one that was originally put. I think the band is wrong on this one unfortunatley (as much as they deserve that platinum record) and I would think that RIAA could be trusted. Caughtinmosh88 (talk) 10:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Rock Hard

Hi there! "Rock Hard magazine not on the list of approved professional reviews per WP:ALBUM/REVSIT." Rock Hard meets every guideline listed here. Thanks. LordRapture (talk) 17:56, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Youthanasia

I just did it because there are only two extra tracklisting templates, and most of the rest of the articles on Megadeth's albums have the bonus track things shown. If you want to hide it though, that's fine. If you do, please just put a hidden note there though so that i don't inadvertently unhide them in the future at some point.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

It's about the album. Can you expand the lead or you think it summarizes all aspects of the article in its present state?--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 15:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the little corrections and advices pal. I'm sure the article will pass the GA review.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 15:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Boxing

Why shouldn't I respond? I simply use the names as used in BoxRec. Isn't that good? claudevsq (talk) 07:42, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

First of all, "Carlos Molina" points to the American boxer. Carlos Amado Molina points to the right one, the Mexican boxer. "DEU" is the abbreviation I found here on Wikipedia under Template:flagicons... As for accents, they are commonly used in spanish names, but accents create problems in BoxRec systems... Saul Alvarez is not chamion for the moment anyway... As for Sergio Gabriel Martinez, threre is an ongoing dispute between two editors at BoxRec (not me), it should soon be resolved...

Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 17:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

File:Brad Fiedel - 1994 - The Terminator The Definite Edition.jpg

This image is too extraneous and essentially equivalent to standard album cover. Can I remove it from the page? --George Ho (talk) 04:18, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Release date of So Far, So Good... So What!

Hi Mac! I noticed that you've adapted the songs duration according to the album's booklet. Since you have the CD, can you check if there is exact release date in the liner notes? RIAA says the album was released on 13 January 1988, but from previous experience, I know that they tend to push the release date one week earlier.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 22:02, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Redirects

Have you read WP:NOTBROKEN?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 23:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

... continued from User talk:SaskatchewanSenator#Re:_Redirects

Well, I certainly am not prepared to concede free rein for anyone to mess up the boxing champions article again, seeing as I had to (figuratively) claw and scratch for nearly a year to get the current level of consistency to stick ("De La Hoya" without the accent, "Mayweather, Jr." with the comma and period, etc). If accents get removed or redirects introduced, I'm reverting that shit without question. If there are indeed discussions to be made, I'll happily sit back and allow that to take place elsewhere on WP. Should any consensus be accomplished as a result, lemme know. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:45, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Claude's edit warring made it difficult. I've had similar frustrations with him in the past and I hope he learned something from being blocked.

Omar Figueroa/Mikey García

Omar Figueroa and Mikey García both represent México a they come to the rings with Mexican flags ONLY.

The case of Figueroa is even clearlier as he has the nationallity and grew up in México, he even says it himself that he is a Mexican from Tamaulipas:

“Yo estoy ansioso de ir a pelear a México, que la gente conozca a ‘La Panterita’ en México, que es un país hermoso, estoy bien orgulloso de ser mexicano y mi hijo tiene sangre mexicana y aunque nació en Texas mi esposa es de la misma colonia, del callejón donde vivíamos en Río Bravo y se puede decir que ‘La Panterita’ es también de Río Bravo, es Tamaulipeco."

70.42.157.5 (talk) 22:46, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

That last remark of Figueroa was made by me, who I have just logged in. Daalo194 (talk) 22:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Cryptic Writings

Hey Mac! If you got a copy of Cryptic Writings, can you check whether some citations in the main article are correct? The second paragraph of the section would require some minor input, and the booklet might be helpful. See you.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 23:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Taking Over

Rat Skates was only on 2 Overkill studio albums, Feel the Fire and Taking Over. Feel the Fire was released through Megaforce only. Megaforce formed a partnership with Atlantic records in 1986 to distribute their albums in the United States. Taking Over was Rat Skates' first (and only) studio album released on Atlantic records. Overkill's next 5 albums would be released on Atlantic but Kundrat left after Taking Over. Paranoid90 (talk) 16:59, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Did you even read it? They ask him what he would like to know and he says "Who has my royalty checks! How I could have sold over 100,000 units on Atlantic records and not received one penny!" It's the final question asked. Paranoid90 (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
The readers almost never care about the source, they just read it. If they don't understand they can read the explanation I wrote. Paranoid90 (talk) 21:16, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Second diff at SPI

Per Deskana's comments at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Necroshine95 could you please provide a second diff that demonstrates why the two users are likely sockpuppets? NativeForeigner Talk 19:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Megadeth

Hey Mac, if you're not too busy, can you post an opinion at Megadeth's talk page regarding the genre issue. Thanks in advance.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 10:50, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Mac, how are you? Wanted to ask if you can upload a new version of the cover art of Megadeth's Thirteen? The current one has higher resolution (460x460) than usual (300x300). Appreciate if you can handle this one. Bye.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 07:42, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

reverting

Please stop reverting my edits without explanation. There's absolutely nothing unconstructive to revert, and no guideline is being breached. Caper454 (talk) 21:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. Explaining your position from the start goes a long way towards avoiding conflict, rather than reverting an editor's work en masse without proper explanation. Cheers. Caper454 (talk) 21:47, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

A question for you

Hi, is acoustic a genre of music? Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:39, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply, do you think it should be included in this aspect Damnation, I don't think it should be labelled as acoustic but another user does! I don't want to get into another edit war so your opinion would be very welcome. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:48, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment, but may I say, the one source about.com is classed as an unreliable source and the other source which is reliable actually is a link to a different album Ghost Reveries, doesn't that give me a plus? Lukejordan02 (talk) 00:12, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

'I Am the Night' and 'Power Metal'

Hello, I see you have reverted my two previous edits, noting that the band's (Pantera's, in this case) nationality is on their bio page and that it doesn't need to be included in the albums descriptions. I thought that all albums must include a band's nationality in their description, regardless of wether it's described in their bio or not. Would you care to explain this to me? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teh Thrasher (talk • contribs) 19:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Track list numbering

There is currently a Rfc and discussion at Template talk:Track listing#RfC regarding track listings, about how the songs in a track listing should be numbered.

Bret Hart

Hi its Y2Joel here is this the best and only way to talk to you and leave messages on wiki?

I'm wondering why you deleted my editing on Bret Hart's wiki page when I added the date he was entered into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Hall of Fame (pictured under legacy)

That is the correct date, I don't know how to tag sources.

I didn't make up Bret Hart being known as The Best There Is The Best There Was And The Best There Ever Will Be, it's a world wide known moniker that Bret has officially gone by since the mid 1990s which is part of Bret's legacy.

The additional information I added were sufficient accurate and relevant.

Is there a specific reason why you removed my information? Specifically with the date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y2Joel (talk • contribs) 05:41, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Create another infobox fields

Maybe you should add another infobox fields for Ski Flying titles, Ski jumping titles (1996-2000) and Nordic T. titles to complete it.Sportomanokin (talk) 10:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Can you repair the seasons field which doesn't wanna show up? Sportomanokin (talk) 12:08, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok you just reverted everything but at the same time you deleted two fields that I created: official website and ski jump titles. Can you put those two back.

Kill 'Em All credits

Hey Mac, can you check in the CD booklet if Mustaine had written lyrics for "The Four Horsemen" on Kill 'Em All? I think he wasn't listed there few months ago, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, please check if the other credits are fine. Thanks and all the best.--Retrohead (talk) 13:06, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Infobox double winter world cup

Hey. It's been a long time!

Can you revert back Template:Infobox Wintersport World Cup the way it was if you are not already doing it. It will be need for seasons before ladies were performing.

Dave Mustaine Credit on Metallica Songs

Sup Mac, Dave Mustaine did not write the lyrics to "The Four Horsemen" on Kill 'Em All and, if you check the album, the lyric writer always gets first credit on Metallica songs. Hetfield's name always comes first (on EVERY Metallica song other than "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth") and other song contributors come afterward with Mustaine's name coming last on the songs he helped write. Mustaine's name comes last on ALL songs that Metallica gives him credit for. Just like on Metallica's Wiki http://metallica.wikia.com/wiki/Kill_%27em_All_%28album%29 and on all of the albums.

Hi from Kyle & Andy - Employees of Steve Vai (outreach)

Hi Mac D,

Kyle P. and I (Andy A) work for Steve Vai and recently had a 3 hour (!) conversation with him about getting the facts correct on the current Wikipedia page. They range from correct dates to fixing statistics, such as Grammy nominations. During the conversation, we made notes and then had the edits approved by Steve himself for validity. Our next step is to reach out to you and share that we'd like to collaborate with you on updating the entry. We have several proper citations and we can also be reached through email at andy@vai.com for verification. For example:

(Current) “Steven Siro "Steve" Vai (born June 6, 1960) is an American guitarist, songwriter, singer, and producer who has had career sales of over 15 million albums. After starting his career as a music transcriptionist for Frank Zappa, he recorded and toured in Zappa's band from 1980 to 1982. He began a solo career in 1983, and has released eight solo albums and won three Grammy Awards. Vai has recorded and toured with Public Image Ltd., Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, and Whitesnake. He has been a regular touring member of the G3 Concert Tour, which began in 1995. In 1999, he started his own record label, Favored Nations, intending to showcase "artists that have attained the highest performance level on their chosen instruments”.[1]”

Revised (as noted by Steve)

Steven Siro "Steve" Vai (born June 6, 1960) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer, born and raised in Long Island, New York. Vai is recognized for his master innovations and virtuoso guitar playing in the realm of the music industry and has a career sales of over 15 million records. The 3 time Grammy Award winner and 15 time nominee started his music career as a transcriptionist for Frank Zappa in 1978 at the age of 18 (while attending Berklee College of music in Boston), and, shortly after his 4th semester, moved to California to record and tour with Zappa from 1980-1983. Vai began his solo career in 1983 after leaving Zappa, and has since released 18 solo albums. Vai has recorded and toured with Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, and Whitesnake, has recorded with artists such as Mary J. Blige, Spinal Tap, and Ozzy Osbourne, and toured with G3, Zappa Plays Zappa, the Experience Hendrix tour, as well as his own extensive solo tours.

Vai is an acclaimed pioneer in his field for his innovative guitar technique, eclectic music, and industry changing contributions. In 1985, Vai designed the JEM guitar, which at its genesis incorporated a series of unique and groundbreaking features that have since become staples in design throughout the guitar industry. Vai also designed the first commercially produced 7 string guitar, the Ibanez Universe, which has gone on to inspire an entire generation of nu-metal artists. With his first solo album “Flex-able” (released in 1984), Vai created a new genre of virtuoso guitar music that revolutionized what was believed possible on the guitar, and in 1990, his release “Passion & Warfare” gained the acclaim of both the press and his peers as one of the most important and influential rock instrumental albums of all time. Over his extensive career, Vai has amassed a large catalog of diverse and colorful material on various platforms, including solo albums, multiple DVD releases, a plethora of orchestra compositions and performances, and a host of collaborations that have won him 3 Grammy Awards and 15 nominations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kav2015 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

December 2015

This edit invited another editor to contribute in a discussion you were having at Talk:Joe Calzaghe. As an experienced editor you should (and do) know better than to canvass editors whom you know will be sympathetic to your viewpoint. Furthermore, you have made an accusation against me that is untrue and, having been invited to strike you have refused. Both behaviours are unacceptable, and must not be repeated.

Professional boxers & flags in their record boxes

I've removed the flags from a couple of American boxers articles (Larry Holmes & Mike Tyson), per no flags reasoning. Their's were nothing but virtually walls of USA flags. I edit articles randomly, so whenever I come across any professional boxer bio articles, I'll remove the flags. However, if I'm reverted or the community wishes me to stop & discuss further? I will stop. GoodDay (talk) 15:57, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

You may indeed be reverted, but since you're providing an edit summary—a perfectly reasonable one at that—I'm more than happy to lend a dissenting voice to the cause and point them in the direction of the various discussions that have been had. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:07, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

We've a second discussion in progress, aswell. In the location section, do we use sovereign states for all? or do we make exceptions for the UK's constituent countries. GoodDay (talk) 22:53, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

I've already stated my preference, in that I think the US and UK should be given special mention as the supranational entities following E/S/W/NI, Texas, California, etc., but User:Daicaregos disagrees. Therefore that should be discussed further with some kind of agreement/compromise reached before any mass-edits are made. I'm not too bothered about it, though. The main thing for me was getting those flagicons zapped. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 23:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, I'll have to wish you good luck with removing flags. An IP has begone to follow me around, reverting my deletions. I won't be getting into any edit-spats across numerious articles. Meanwhile, I still agree & support your idea. GoodDay (talk) 05:10, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Wow, that was quick! Only a few days, so they're clearly on patrol. However, they haven't got a leg to stand on unless they weigh in at the discussion as invited. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 05:13, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
I'll leave it to you to deal with the IP or any other IPs. I've my reasons, for not wanting to get into edit spats. GoodDay (talk) 05:16, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Understood, appreciated, and much thanks for boldly getting the ball rolling. I'll see how long I can stick with the idea before it either gets shot down by other editors, or finally accepted as a rule. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 05:19, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Ok ;) GoodDay (talk) 05:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

FWIW, you're never going to persuade the Keep the flags editors, to change their stance. GoodDay (talk) 14:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Probably not, but if they can dig their heels in, so can I. Despite my eagerness to get the MOS finalised, there's no rush. Something will have to break, and I've still got MOS:FLAG to fall back on—it trumps what they're all saying. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:07, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
On the assumption that the flags will end up being kept, I've asked the 'flag keepers' if they'd agree to using only sovereign state flags. I've known Daicaregos for years, so I didn't bother to ask him ;) GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Yup, and that's likely the next best thing to come out of this—that we at least get it set in stone as to which flags should be used, and with consistency. Thus avoiding any future UK/E/S/W/NI vs US/TX vs CAN/ON edit wars. As sick as I am of seeing flags, I'm becoming even sicker of discussing them, heh. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:17, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

The new major changes

Can you bring me up-to-date on making boxing records look tidier? Basically, the sentence summarising the amount of wins and losses should now include the number of fights, flagicons go, and notes and locations that repeat should have a rowspan. Just a couple of queries; should divisions that have two words include a hypen, should divisions be non-capitalised, and should bouts with no notes have no box at all? Or are there dicussions currently taking place discussing these? ChrisMorris1234 (talk), 5 December 2015, 23:50 (UTC)

You were in a discussion which is relevant to a RfC I started see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing#RfC: Flag icons in professional boxing record tables 92.237.211.110 (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Boxing MOS

I like what you have done with the Boxing MOS and as you say its not that different from MMA which is good for consistency. How much longer do you think it should be up for debate. I kind of would like it moved now but that might be premature even though I don't think there will be that much comment. How about December 15th.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:03, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

I did not realise that Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing/Style existed which in effect is the MOS. It looks like the new much more detailed MOS has been moved to main space but the two need to be merged and one chosen. I think the title should be Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing/Style.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
I just wanted to say well done with this project you two. Excellent work and is much appreciated. It will help article development greatly. Thank you. --Donniediamond (talk) 11:25, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

White Zombie - album name change

I don't know how to do this or else I would do it myself. The correct title of the album is LA SEXORCISTO: DEVIL MUSIC, VOL. 1 (numerous sources confirm this, including the album cover, but what I just posted is a copy and paste from the Rob Zombie website).

Not only is the actual title Vol. 1, not Volume One, but there is a comma in there.

Please undo your redirect and send it to the page with the proper title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noneof yourbusiness48 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Recent Steve Vai Wikipedia Page Change

Hello Mac Dreamstate, In regards to the recent changes made to the Steve Vai Wikipedia page (requested by the subject himself), we would once again like to ask for your help in reaching a middle ground between encyclopedic accuracy and well written entries.

The changes to the Introduction section of the page were reverted due to the information being rather random and not pertinent to the overall subject, as it disrupts the flow of the entry and would be better suited in a more specific category (perhaps an awards section).

As well, please excuse our small mistakes as we get acclimated to this platform. We will be continuously checking in and adding information/fixing edits, with larger approved entries that more accurately portray the subject. If you could act as liaison between us and the rules of Wikipedia, that would be most helpful. Thank you for your work so far in maintaining the page, it does not go unnoticed! For ease of contact, please feel free to email us at andy@vai.com .

Thank you, Kyle & Andy

That new image with the G clef is probably copyvio? Karst (talk) 15:42, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Not sure. A cross-check on Google Images brings it up, but I've never been too good at figuring out WP's image policy when it comes to situations like this. How could it be proven/disproven that User:Kav2015 legit owns the image? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:51, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Update

In view your input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing#Notability guidelines I have made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Boxing clarification. Since you gave input at the project page, then I thought I would let you know about the general page. RonSigPi (talk) 00:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
