Hafthor

Maintain WP:NEUTRALITY in the article. You have added a lot of trivial and tabloid style content as well as WP:FANPOV in the article. The quote box in the bottom of personal records section and the detailed explanation and POV in the boxing career section. Also avoid using YouTube as source, except when mentioning lifts. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:02, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to use quotes, write it verbatim as said by notable personalities (fellow strongman, notable reporters, etc), separately and use WP:Independent sources instead of YiTube videos. Do not write personal commentary. I've removed it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:15, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Fylindfotberserk. Much appreciated and thanks for the advise. Will amend accordingly. Nir007H (talk) 08:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. Also try to minimize/avoid YouTube videos since they are WP:PRIMARY sources. Wikipedia prefers WP:SECONDARY sources, so this addition is unnecessary, since we already have better secondary sources. Please remove it. Also keep the number of sources less (2 sources). Wikipedia is not a directory of links (See WP:REFBOMB). Happy editing

Hafþór retired from strongman officially per these sources [1] [2]. His own words in the interview, "I’m 32 years old, so I’m not getting any younger so I have to start thinking about my health and my future. That’s the main reason I retired from strongman. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to be on Earth longer for my family.". Unless he comes back to the sport in future, do not change former professional strongman from the lead. That would be going against sourced content per WP:SYNTH. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:22, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are right. Nir007H (talk) 16:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fylindfotberserk, How come the Personal Records section of Hafthor is tagged overly detailed? It's a perfectly well researched and complete section in my eyes. All of those listed lifts are word class performances and all should be included. Nir007H (talk) 11:56, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please go through WP:NOT and WP:EXCESSDETAIL. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, only the most important things need to be put in a WP:BLP's section, doesn't matter whether sourced or not. We can't list each PR/WR in each event of all the years/championship. The details of all these lifts are/should be covered in the respective event articles, Similarly for gym lifts. Try by keeping only the best, for example in the case of 'Axle Deadlift', I'll only keep the Axle Deadlift (for reps) – 380 kg (838 lb) x 6 reps entry since it is from a more recent event and he used a greater amount of weight. If we try to get this article to 'Good Article' status, these things have to be taken into consideration. Editors who specialize in GA/FA articles would remove/severely truncate that section. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fylindfotberserk, I'm working on improving Hafthor's article to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards as indicated by those template messages. Can you guide me on below points:

1. Personal records - shall I summarize about 5 or 10 best ones and then link the others to a separate article tiled 'Main article: List of Personal records by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson?

2. What do you mean by 'This article contains paid contributions'? Can you please advise me how to rectify this problem?

Trust by rectifying above 2 points we can remove these template messages which indicates issues. Please advise... Nir007H (talk) 06:50, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fancruft would mean trivial things as well as content written in a subjective manner. For example, the sub-section on his 'Tattoos' and the sentence: "Hafþór and his former girlfriend Andrea Sif Jónsdóttir have spoken about his occasional sleep troubles after a heavy meal due to his body weight" - looks trivial and fancruft to me. On the other hand, Bell's palsy part is important. The personal records section requires cleanup since it is too detailed making many of the things redundant and trivial, thus going into fancruft territory. As I've explained above with the Axel Deadlift example, you can keep the best lift from a specific event.

Fancruft (trivial and subjective manner of writing) can be observed in the Personal life section, sentences that I'd modify, severely truncate, or remove altogether include:

"In an online video interview by the Mulligan Brothers published on 21 December 2019, Hafþór lamented not having seen his daughter for three years"

"The two met when Hafþór was in Alberta, Canada for a strongman competition and visited the bar where Henson worked. The couple garnered attention for the difference in their respective heights, as Henson is 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)"

Other sentences that would require copyediting:

Hafþór met Icelandic strongman Magnús Ver Magnússon at his gym "Jakaból" in 2008, and Magnús said that Hafþór seemed a good prospect as a strongman ← This one requires rewording

but the troublesome ankle forced him to retire from basketball after the season, at the age of 20 ← Kind of tabloid style writing.

I'll move this discussion to Talk:Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, since it is more relevant there. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

Hello, I'm Fylindfotberserk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Žydrūnas Savickas, 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. Do not change sourced content. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:45, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are reducing stats a little here and there in all strongmen articles except for Hafthor's. Refrain from POV changes like that. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:49, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oleksiy Novikov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Squat. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Arnold Strongman Classic moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. John B123 (talk) 19:13, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll add the references tomorrow. Thanks for the instructions. Nir007H (talk) 19:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References are now added and awaiting your approval. Thank you very much, again. Nir007H (talk) 10:18, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, further references are now added to 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic + new qualifying criteria are also added. Awaiting your approval. Thank you very much! Nir007H (talk) 12:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article was missing, I created it and linked it to the 'Lifting stone' and 'Strongman (strength athlete) pages'. Thanks again for the instructions and support. Nir007H (talk) 10:19, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

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

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Do not remove sourced sections. Have issues? seek WP:CONSENSUS[ in the talk page. See WP:NOTCENSORED. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is it customary to have negative aspects also in Biographical articles? I think it's very discriminating to have sections: Steroids and domestic violations in Hafthor's page. There's not a single thing about hard work, training or nutrition but steroids and domestic violations.

I don't see anything negative in any other Strongmen. Can you please comment? Nir007H (talk) 18:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTCENSORED. If there are reliable sources about this, then we cannot deny them in the article per the said policy. Also, if such things are not mentioned in other articles, it is simply because those things are either not covered in the press or are not added in the article, which you are free to add (with source). See articles like Hulk Hogan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Things about steroid use and other controversies are well covered. In the case of Hafthor it is covered by multiple source in which he admitted. Anyway you can seek consensus in the talk page of the article. Can't delete sourced 'longstanding' content based on personal judgement. You are welcome to expand other parts of the article. His acting career specifically which seem lacking. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the advise. Nir007H (talk) 18:35, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. Also use this syntax → {{ping|XYZ}} where 'XYZ' is the user's name. Write your comment. That way I, or any other user will get an alert on your comment (anywhere in Wikipedia). Signing is important after pinging, otherwise will not be notified. Also, if you publish your comment once and then again edit it to add your signature, ping will not work. Hope that helps with the communication part. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Gill (Strongman)

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

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Pikavoom ^Talk 13:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well noted and I agree. Will be more careful in future. Nir007H (talk) 13:36, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Nir007H. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created Michael Gill (Strongman) has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see User:Deepfriedokra/promo for examples of content to avoid. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat

Could you please reconsider? Because he is one of the best boxing Coaches in Europe who has trained many champions and I have provided sources written by boxing journalists also to back it up. It has no advertising either.

Thank you. Nir007H (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is it a raging advert, it's sourced to interviews and not independent sourcing to confirm his statements. CUPIDICAE💕 16:42, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Can you go to below video, specifically to points: 7min 2sec and 7 min 36sec onwards which clearly indicates Billy indeed is the coach of Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, and change the wording from "He has stated he was the trainer and coach" to "He was the trainer and coach"?

Here's more proof that Billy is Thor's coach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTl_jzHw8O4 (full press conference), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX1-6cfjWuk&t=26s (1min 19sec onwards...) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWSJFNGny6k&t=96s (12min 25sec onwards...).

Adding POV commentary to captions

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Additionally, I've reverted two of your images changes, as the images you added were not an improvement over the previous images. Please discuss image changes on talk pages. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:23, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and shall comply with the first two points. But the last one is not agreeable. Ronnie Coleman in 2009 is past his professional retirement. You should use pictures of his prime. Can I at-least change the one in his own Wikipedia article? Nir007H (talk) 19:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're saying that this photo is your own work? That photo appears to have been taken by a particular professsional photographer. You're saying you are that photographer?

You don't get to claim other's people's work as your own; that's a copyright violation, which is not taken lightly here. Please don't do that again. It's not my responsibility to secure rights to photographs. Don't upload images unless they were created by you personally, not just found somewhere on the web.

Your submission at Articles for creation: 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic (July 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dege31 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Only routine coverage(results)

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:2018 Arnold Strongman Classic and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bobby Thompson (strongman)

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 Bobby Thompson (strongman) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://generationiron.com/strongman-series-bobby-thompson/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Eddie Hall

Hi, with regards to the Eddie Hall article, I am not sure why you keep removing aspects of the fight that are verified in the source, the fact Hall put Thor down twice is confirmed in the source that is tagged and these were notable highlights of the fight so there is no real reason to exclude this information, furthermore the term "bludgeoned" is a bizarre statement to make a for a Boxing match, certainly one that went the full length and didn't result in a knock out. If you want to modify the statement feel free too, but lets not remove verified information. Thanks Footballgy (talk) 09:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I rephrased. However I disagree with you on 2 points:

- Martin Domin, the Sports Editor of the Irish Mirror reported: "The Brit has put Thor on the canvas, but that knockdown wasn't scored". I added the source.

- The term 'bludgeoned': Britannica defines it "to hit (someone or something) very hard" and Merriam-Webster defines it "to hit with heavy impact". The fight was taglined the heaviest and the strongest boxing match in history and I don't see any reason why the word should not be used. Additionally, Eddie Hall was hit until he bled, hence I kept the word. Have a look. Thanks.

Additionally, the footnote is with refer to his Strongman career, so I moved it from the Boxing section to the Strongman section. Nir007H (talk) 22:33, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cinema of Sri Lanka

Hi, can you kindly explain this edit please. I search the claim but came up with nothing. Therefore, the statement cannot be verified. See WP:VERIFIABILITY. Chanaka L (talk) 07:07, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arnold Pro Strongwoman moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Arnold Pro Strongwoman, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson

Hi @Nir007H, you and I are engaged in a disagreement about how to properly write numbers on the Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson page. This is fine, disagreements can be worked out, but I'd like to point out that you have now launched an edit war with me by repeatedly imposing your version of how the article should appear. I can see that you are a new editor, so you may not be aware of this rule, but on Wikipedia, once you have been reverted, you are not to revert again; instead, you need to discuss the issue on the talk page. I encourage you to undo your latest change and to take up the issue on the Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson talk page. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:49, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, the dispute is only with refer to the introductory para. Not in subsections. Please check pages of Žydrūnas Savickas, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Brian Shaw (with Hafþór who are the 4 most decorated strongmen). See how their number of wins are depicted in numerals... Please check some other strongmen as well, the page 'Strongman' will give you a comprehensive list. In other sports also, the standard is the same. For instance please check how the numbers are depicted in the pages of Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, Babe Ruth, Aleksandr Karelin, Donald Bradman etc. Do you spot 32,292, 23, 29, 887, 99.94 or thirty two thousand two hundred and ninety two, twenty three, twenty nine, eight hundred and eighty seven, ninety nine point nine four? Nir007H (talk) 17:47, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are under the impression that there is a standard method of writing numbers on sports-related pages, but to my knowledge, this is not the case. My guess as to why this has occurred so broadly is that people prefer writing numbers as digits rather than as words. I generally follow the Chicago Manual of Style, which recommends spelling out numbers from 1 to 100. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:44, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nir007H, in your latest edit on the Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson page, you made a casual accusation of vandalism, presumably towards the previous editor. This type of accusation is serious and shouldn't be made unless you are sure that an editor is in fact engaging in vandalism rather than simply being wrong, inexperienced, or even disruptive. Please try to always assume good faith before jumping to the worst possible conclusion. By the way, I reverted the edits you made, as I didn't find them constructive. The language the previous editor removed was redundant, in my opinion, perhaps even confusing, as they suggested. If you disagree with my revert, please discuss the matter on the article talk page. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Let me ask a question. Who are those several ex-girlfriends? The sources name only his first wife and one more previous girlfriend. The current wording implies that he had been accused by several ex-girlfriends on domestic violence. It was only first wife Thelma Björk Steimann who feared for her life once during a vacation because of a single incident who has given statements about previous girlfriends. These are media gossip articles. The investigations have clearly found that there were no grounds for action. Hafþór has also charged her with slander. Nir007H (talk) 02:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nir007H, please do not ignore what I said about your accusation of vandalism.

One of the articles says (in translation) "Three of them describe physical and mental violence at the hands of Haftór". Which one of us is misreading the sources? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:37, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Last para of source 116: "Hafthór's lawyer, Kjartan Ragnars, has repeatedly contacted the newspaper since Saturday. He says Hafthór is completely free of violence and neither men nor women are violent. He says it can be very expensive to slander Hafthór, as his image is very valuable. He says that possibly three women are out for revenge against Hafthór." Nir007H (talk) 02:45, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, there's two things happening here: the first one is that you continue to ignore the point I made about your accusation of vandalism. If you choose not to address the points I am making, it will be difficult for me to continue having this discussion with you.

The second thing is that you are quoting a lawyer.... do you know what lawyers are paid to do? Defend their clients. One of the news sources points out that three women have accused Hafthór of violence, and yet you would rather believe what Hafthór's lawyer says.

In my view, the claim should remain in the article, unless you can demonstrate that it is false. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So does that mean anyone can make a random account and do alterations to articles which have been there for some time? I honestly think that is vandalism by maybe an enemy. You can correct me if I'm wrong. Also why can't I make the sequential correction? I put the current family first and the previous relationships next. The heading says family and relationships. Do you have a personal agenda to make his profile look negative rather than positive? Nir007H (talk) 03:23, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please familiarize yourself with what does and doesn't fall under the category of vandalism on Wikipedia.

To answer your question, yes, anyone can create an account and make edits to any Wikipedia page, regardless of how long the content that they are modifying has existed. If their edit is deemed inappropriate by other editors, it will either be reverted or changed.

The conclusion that someone who edits content that you prefer must be an enemy is not a rational one. Please think about this carefully.

I explained why I reverted your edit. You reversed chronological order.

Not only do you deem other editors to be "enemies", but now you're accusing me of having a personal agenda. If you continue along this tack, I will not engage with you further.

By the way, it is a good rule of thumb to tag the editor you are conversing with when this takes place elsewhere than on their talk page, where they are automatically notified. I will now unwatch your page, so if you wish to address me, please leave a tag. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I of course was planning to notifying the person who did the edit, but then realized it's his/ her first edit which made me assume it must be vandalism, because it's towards a negative aspect. What kind of a person would make your very first edit, a negative aspect of someones personal life? I have also noticed several derogatory remarks on this page before and all of them were from new editors with no previous editing background. So once I restored the previous wording with my remark (which was based on all above elements which I stated), you came to the equation defending the first time editor. I don't intend to address you in future (no problem) but please advise whether I can or can't move the family first and relationships next? What prevents me to bring the positive aspect to the top and negative one to the bottom of the subsection? Thanks for you support. Nir007H (talk) 03:53, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unsourced nicknames

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ronnie Coleman, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, I was checking the profiles of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, Dorian Yates and Phil Heath. Will you delete their nicknames also since there are no references to any of them? Nir007H (talk) 04:09, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If they are unsourced they should be deleted as well. You also just changed Coleman's weight to a figure that doesn't match the cited source; please don't do that again. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:11, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the reference: ^[1] which is mentioned under the section Physical statistics. Please re-quote if for the 2nd time if required and update his peak weight. Nir007H (talk) 04:14, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove or change content, as you did at Ronnie Coleman, when a reliable source is already provided. Thank you. Nir007H (talk) 04:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please carefully read WP:Verifiability. Including a source (that clearly doesn't meet WP:RS guidelines) on your own talk page is not how you cite a source. If you change those figures again without citing a reliable source, you will be blocked from editing.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:26, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is honestly unfair. Can you please explain how that source from Fitnessvolt.com doesn't meet guidelines? Fitness Volt is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to Strength Sports. For more than 12 years, they have worked hard to create and refine their curated library of comprehensive and trustworthy information. Their 30+ team of writers and editors are fitness experts, including registered dietitians, nutritionists, personal trainers, athletes and certified coaches, who write and continually update their 4000+ article library. Also, this source was not mentioned in my own page, but was there from March 30, 2022 until you deleted it from the info-box today after your last edit. More proof: it's still there under section Physical statistics. It's the 37th reference in the page of Ronnie Coleman. Here is the link to the article: https://fitnessvolt.com/ronnie-coleman-330lb-mass-monster/

Therefore can you kindly unblock my editing option? Nir007H (talk) 10:14, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nir007H (talk) 10:17, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The 330 figure mentioned in fitnessvolt apparently comes from Coleman's comment on his own video, which seems shaky to me. While we do allow self-reported data in some cases, it seems shaky to me that we'd use an offhand video comment in an infobox about atheletic stats. Nonetheless, you're clearly acting in good faith here, so I'm going to unblock and start a conversation in Talk:Ronnie Coleman. Please be more mindful of WP:V (nicknames, other things you've been warned about, etc). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:01, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate. Nir007H (talk) 16:31, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. 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. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was no reply because you didn't tag me! I clearly explained to you that I am unwatching your page and that if you wish to continue communicating with me, you should leave a tag. You disregarded that, as you have disregarded various other things I have written here, and you proceeded to breach Wikipedia policy by edit warring.

Your perspective on the motive of other editors, including mine, is irrational and biased. Stop making insinuations and accusations of motivated behaviour and focus on improving Wikipedia and being a good Wikipedian.

I've also explained to you that the reason I reverted your reordering of the chronological order of events in the Family and relationships subsection of Hafþór's page is precisely for that reason: it is chronologically backward. It has nothing to do with positive or negative aspects of the content, nor should it. You are entirely focused on the wrong thing when it comes to presenting encyclopedic content.

So far, your edits on the page have been mostly disruptive. Please reassess your attitude and your biases before proceeding. Any further disruptive edits will be reported.

Lastly, if you wish to discuss content differences, please do so on the article talk page, as I am NO LONGER WATCHING YOUR USER TALK PAGE. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nir007H! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sinhala Cinema Database

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 Sinhala Cinema Database, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 10:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I've declined the G11 request specifically, as it's not the type of blatant advertising G11 is for, the article definitely should not be in mainspace at this time. To demonstrate notability, articles should use material which is reliable and independent. Currently, all the citations in the article are to the site itself. We don't care what it says about itself, we care about what reliable sources unaffiliated with it have to say about it. If there is not a substantial quantity of reliable and independent reference material available about this subject, it is not appropriate for there to be an article about it. If there is, the article should rely on what those sources say, not on what the site itself or those closely affiliated with it say about it.

Hi @Nir007H, I normally don't wade into afd discussions, but having read the page on Canelo, I must say that, despite the publicity he received, the case just doesn't strike me as being very noteworthy. Sorry to disappoint. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:22, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Revirvlkodlaku, appreciate your intervention, and if you notice in List of individual dogs, they've listed 24 special dogs including Canelo under "Faithful dogs" category, and we need to carry forward their legacy in my opinion. The street is named after Canelo and his bronze plaque with his sculpture which reads "To Canelo, who for 12 years waited at the hospital gates for his deceased master" is not only a popular tourist attraction but also commemorates unconditional love. Like Dżok, Fido, Greyfriars Bobby, Hachikō, Kostya, Ruswarp, Seaman, Shep, Theo & Waghya we need to add Canelo to this elusive list. Nir007H (talk) 03:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria for lists is lower than an independent article. The dogs you mentioned have better sources and more obvious notability with statues. One of them doesn't have it's own page for example. A street name can go to notability as many notable people have streets named after them but so do many unnotable people. If it's a popular tourist attraction there should be some sources talking about the attraction such as the tourism article about the Hachiko statue. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongman event pages

Hi, I was just wondering if you could maybe start both 2024 European Strongest Man and 2024 Shaw Clasic articles. I know I should've done them but I've been massively pre-occupied with the olympics, World U20 athletics champs and now paralympics so I haven't been able to get round to doing them. If you're also too busy to do them it's fine but if you aren't I would appreciate it as I should've done them ages ago. Thanks! Brandon Downes (talk) 03:43, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of Lundstrom Stones to Lifting stone#Lundstrom Stones

I merged Lundstrom Stones to Lifting stone#Lundstrom Stones because I could not find significant coverage of the stones in reliable sources. If you disagree, please feel free to revert the redirect and we can start a proposed merge discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Voorts, I got your reasoning. But my main aim was to develop the Lifting stone article (which I was doing over the past few days) and thought the info. I have under Lundstrom Stones is too much to be included in the main article - hence decided to open a separate page. Have to ensure more prominence to be given to the Husafell and Dinnies (tier 1) and then Dritvíks and McGlashens (tier 2) and then to all the others. I would like to request your permission to have it as a separate article and then to have only a 3 line basic description of it in the Lifting stone page. Thanks a lot for considering, and support on this. Nir007H (talk) 17:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nir. If the amount of information is what has already been merged to the Lifting stone article, then I don't think it's too much to be merged there. How much more were you planning to write about the Lundstrom Stones? voorts (talk/contributions) 17:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping to develop it and Ardblair Stones to the level of Steinstossen, Voorts. Lets say at last upto 80% of Steinstossen's level. Give me some time, I will get it done. Nir007H (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to tag you @Voorts. Nir007H (talk) 18:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I'm just not seeing enough sourcing about these stones to meet WP:GNG. Proceed how you see fit, but I can't guarantee that I won't later start a proposed merge discussion if you do restore the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:09, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Voorts I will keep you updated with the progress. Could you assist me with reinstating Lundstrom Stones article? Nir007H (talk) 18:23, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All you need to do is restore the revision prior to the redirect from the page history. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts It says "The edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits; if you wish to undo the change, it must be done manually". Could you please help? Nir007H (talk) 18:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. For future reference, here is what I did:

Press "View history" next to the "Edit" button.
Click this revision by BoyTheKingCanDance.
Click edit while on that revision.
Enter an edit summary and submit the edit.
Page restored.

I will make a note to return to the Lundstrom Stones article in one week and if I still think it doesn't meet GNG, I'll open a proposed merger discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:00, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot @Voorts. Much appreciated. Nir007H (talk) 19:12, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a proposed merge discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Powerlifting Question Re: Paul Anderson article

Good morning Nir007H,

Quick question for you regarding an unofficial record mentioned in "Paul Anderson: The Mightiest Minister" by Dr. Randall Strossen:

At the Region 3 Power Lift Championships in 1965, Paul deadlifted 750 lbs (face value) and squatted 905 lbs (face value). He did not, to my knowledge, perform a bench press at this event.

The squat actually weighed out to 929 lbs (421.4 kg) due to the inclusion of 4 100 lb plates that weighed 106 lbs each. There's no mention of the deadlift being weighed but if the same plates were used it would have been ~774 lbs (351 kg).

As far as I know, no drug-tested lifter has done a higher squat+deadlift subtotal until Ray Williams in 2015, whether we're talking 929+750 or 929+774. Since Paul was a guest lifter this was only an unofficial record, but are you aware of anyone who exceeded this feat before Ray?

Additionally: earlier that same year at a powerlifting contest in Silver Spring, Anderson clean and pressed 420 lbs, squatted 900 lbs 'very easily,' and deadlited 710 lbs 'without much trouble' for a total of 2,030 lbs/921 kg with clean and press in lieu of bench. (Not sure if this is the same exhibition Marty Gallagher talked about wrt witnessing Paul squat 900 lbs for 5 reps.) Don't think this feat has ever been exceeded either, but it is admittedly very niche. Best, The Pittsburgher (talk) 14:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @The Pittsburgher how are you? Between 929+750 (1679)/ 929+774 (1703) and Ray in 2015, all I can think of is Mark Henry, specially the 948 squat and 904 deadlift (1852) on July 16, 1995 but the squat was done in wraps.

2,030 with clean and press in lieu of bench (if it happened in the same comp) - I'm sure has not been surpassed since. Nir007H (talk) 20:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message; I'm doing well and hope you are too. Mark was all I could come up with as well, though as you mentioned he wore wraps for his squat. Still, given his grip strength in the deadlift I don't doubt he had it in him to exceed Paul's performance even without wraps. The Pittsburgher (talk) 18:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Episode table

You deserve a medal for fixing that Robin of Sherwood episode table. The original was horrendous. - X201 (talk) 08:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. Nir007H (talk) 08:49, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
