Dead entertainer categories

[edit]

Why did I create the dead entertainer categories? Because I find such lists interesting and know many others that agree.

Short stub articles

[edit]

Hi! Short articles are fine, but many of the ones you're leaving aren't long enough for inclusion. Simply saying "X is a writer for Dark Shadows" and not giving any further history of the person isn't really an article. If you're planning to expand these, please do. Have fun and give a yell on my talk page if you need a hand. - Lucky 6.9 23:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category names

[edit]

I noticed that you have made a number of categories (Greenvillians, Ashevillians, etc.). The correct naming standard is People from Greenville. CG janitor 05:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of categories are being renamed this way. A few exceptions are being made, but I think this is a new standard being formed. CG janitor 04:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm MAD at you for removing my image of KLS from DS??? WTH you remove it???? Why you did it???????????????????????

Spencer Karter

What image are you referring to? --Carnildo 08:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That screencap of KLS as Maggie from 1968 DS episode.

Spencer Karter

I haven't a clue. My bot's handled approximately 47,000 images in the past four and a half months, so without knowing the filename, I can't figure out what image you're referring to. If you don't know the filename, but know what article the image was removed from, I can make a guess as to what image you're talking about. --Carnildo 21:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Permission"

[edit]

Here you asked another user not to revert your edits without your permssion. Sorry pal, but that's just not cool. Most everyone can edit Wikipedia, and no one requires your permission to change or remove your contributions. I'm sure that you put a lot of work into your edits, and that it hurts to see them removed. But no article here is "your's". Thanks.--Sean Black (talk?)

I STRONGLY DISAGREE with you and I DISAGREE with your comments

Spencer Karter p.s. I do not like my articles to be removed, and this is supposed to be a free wikipedia?

Sean Black,

I apologize for my last comments, but I don't like my articles to be removed.

Disagreement

[edit]

I noticed that you tend to respond to criticism with "I STRONGLY DISAGREE" in all caps, and that your responses indicate that you have not heeded the advice of your fellow editors. Whether or not you agree with Wikipedia policy, you must abide by it if you wish to continue editing. Please make an effort to work constructively with other editors and to take their advice when it is offered. For starters, consider reading WP:OWN as it is clear from your above comment and recent edits to April 1 that you do not understand the boldface note at the bottom of each edit page: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. Isopropyl 05:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my message again. The point I am trying to get across to you is that you should be listening to other users and taking their advice when they give it to you, such as signing your comments with four tildes (~~~~) as others have told you before. I suggest (again) that you read [{WP:OWN]]. I'm not sure what your complaints about this being a "free" encyclopedia are in reference to; anyone can edit Wikipedia, but everyone must also abide by rules.

Your Additions to Date Pages

[edit]

Hey Shkarter1985 - I notice that you've been editing date pages to add dates of television program premieres and that sort of thing to the Events sections. Many Wikipedians who actively work on Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year have discussed making some guidelines for what should be listed in Events and what should not, and our proposal can be found here: Wikipedia:Notability on a global scale over time. As you will find if you read the proposal, dates of television show premieres and other entertainment events may not be notable if they were not significant firsts globally and/or did not have a significant impact on a global scale. We will be going through the date pages soon and removing items that are not notable according to this criteria. Please be aware that some of your additions may be removed - I hope you will be understanding in this process. I notice on your edits you write "My info I added should not be removed" - by submitting any edits to Wikipedia, you are putting them up for deletion and merciless modification. One editor alone doesn't make a great encyclopedia - the value in Wikipedia rests in the fact that editors collaborate to make educational and interesting works. If you have any comments, please reply on my talk page. Fabricationary 06:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: WSPA-TV

[edit]

Sorry about that. Per the fact that Wikipedia is not a fansite for WSPA, this section can be counted as listcruft, and I believe other editors can agree with this fact. Remember, you do not "own" these articles, as I have seen evidence of this on the other messages on this talk page. Please do not "demand" an explanation, as this does not come on as being polite. I'll leave it up this time because you asked, but don't be suprised if someone else removes it. -Whomp 12:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DeGrassi parody

[edit]

I stand by my comment that this is probably not a parody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and is not worth noting, but it's far too trivial a point to have an edit war about. --Poetlister 11:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ramse Mostoller

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ramse Mostoller, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Notability WP:BIO. I could not find any secondary refs other than this person is a costume designer. See talk.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Shkarter1985! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 6 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 295 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

  1. Sam Hall (writer) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
  2. Jack Sullivan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Sybil Weinberger

[edit]

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 Sybil Weinberger 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 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.

Hi. When you recently edited WMYA-TV, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC-TV (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Bob Clark (television reporter)

[edit]

The article Bob Clark (television reporter) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP

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. -- Patchy1 03:06, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Webclient101. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Sam & Cat that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Webclient101talk 06:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've also reverted the message you added on Orlady's talk page since it was a personal attack as well. Sam & Cat was fully protected because there was an edit war. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to talk to me on my talk page. Cheers, Webclient101talk 06:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you understand it's supposed to be a FREE encyclopedia. Protected articles on Wikipedia aren't FREE encyclopedia, it's false advertising...Since it's non-commercial. If Wikipedians had a union, we would go on strike. It's time to put the free back into the free encyclopedia! End of story! >:( Spencer H. Karter (talk) 06:56, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, let me this straight. If there is a disruption going on in a article such as an edit war or a massive vandalism attack. You think articles should still not be protected. I think that is absolutely ridiculous and illogical. If there were not any article protection, Wikipedia would be in utter chaos.

Your are not being charged to use or read the encyclopedia, nor are you being charged to edit the encyclopedia. It is indeed FREE and there is no "false advertising".

I have no interest in an edit war, so I fact-tagged your statement about "Open House NYC" rather than removing it again. Please document that "Open House" is a network program rather than a program which airs in localized versions on the NBC-owned stations.

2014 in American television

[edit]

Generally only the most notable of cancellations for long term series should be mentioned in the top section of the article. This cancellation wasn't notable; Nick has a long list of one-season series, and the circumstances weren't that unusual beyond kidvid and entertainment blogs overhyping a general 'grown out of their role' dispute that it needs more than a mention in the regular 'cancelled series' section. As for your assertions I was personally out for you? I didn't even know when it was added, or who, and I have no vendetta against any editor here, nor do I feel like I'm a 'rival' to anyone. If you want to edit here, you have to know that you're working with others, and be WP:CIVIL about it; don't attack me for editing if you don't feel like I was right.

Soapboxing

[edit]

Hi, I'm an administrator on the English Wikipedia. Please stop soapboxing on article talk pages. If you wish to have an article's protection reconsidered, the place to go is WP:RFPP. Posting rants [1][2][3][4] on talk pages isn't constructive, since talk pages are intended to be used to discuss specific improvements to articles, not as a forum for you to blow off steam. These rants also reek of trolling. Your general thoughts on One Direction were also inappropriate, since talk pages are not for general chatter. Thank you.

Oh, and please stop misusing the minor edit checkbox. This is not a minor edit. This is not a minor edit. Neither are these: [5][6][7].

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Miriam McDonald.

Shkarter1985, I want to stress that this is not a matter of debate. You run the risk of violating a person's privacy when you publish a birthdate or any other personal data in a global encyclopedia. I'm sure you would not like it if your personal data were published without asking you. Similarly, Wikipedia only publishes birthdates if they can be attributed to reliable sources, like an interview, where it is presumed that the subject doesn't object to that information being released to a wide audience. Now that you have a clear explanation, if you violate WP:BLPPRIVACY again at Wikipedia, I, or Yamaguchi, or another admin will block your account to prevent harm to the encyclopedia and to prevent harm to the article's subject. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:17, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about month or day but this might serve as a cite for birth year:
McDonald, Miriam (30 May 2005). "Miriam McDonald Exclusive Interview". Now the whole Degrassi empire if I can call it that, has been around for 25 years, but because I was born in '87, I missed a lot of those years
This at least supports that the info about her being born in 1987 is reliable. Any objections to adding it? Another source would have to be found to verify the month/day if she ever mentioned it in an interview though. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 04:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Soapboxing again

[edit]

I've mentioned this to you before, but you need to refrain from soapboxing on talk pages as you have done here. If you want to discuss the suitability of IMDb as a reference, you are free to do that, but once you start up with the meandering diatribes about how you want to "MAKE WIKIPEDIA GREAT AGAIN!" you are simply just wasting talk page space. Wikipedia is not a forum for off-topic ramblings. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:52, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Terrayne Crawford

[edit]

The article Terrayne Crawford has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 09:35, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Time and Again (TV program) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

[edit]

The article does not say that retransmission consent is "controversial," just that cable operators don't like it, which isn't the same thing.

Regarding your comment P.S.S. I don't like rival Wikipedians who remove the categories., editing Wikipedia isn't a competition. Ideally all editors are here to make the entire project better. Please reconsider your view that you're fighting against other editors. Thanks. Trivialist (talk) 16:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you feel that way about Wikipedia. Perhaps this isn't the best place for pursuing your interests. Trivialist (talk) 18:28, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Henry Kaplan

[edit]
Notice

The article Henry Kaplan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:BEFORE comes up empty on virtually any sources. The name is fairly common so it's difficult to sift through the other people by the same name, but there's no indication of independent notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

You can't erase history, how dare you Qwaiiplayer! You're not a real Wikipedian. (talk) Spencer H. Karter (talk) 17:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
