The reason 411Mania.com is used is that a better website does not have a review up. The usual site Slam Sports did not place up a normal review. So 411Mania.com is its substitute. The Ice T thing is in the event section. It isn't notable enough to be in the lead. Ice T's fame has slowly died since the early 90s.--WillC 21:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The project has stated that 411Mania.com is a relable source. Which means it is good enough to use as a source for a reception. If Slam Sports did a real review then I would use that one. Plus no one in the project has said that 411Mania.com isn't alright to use it the lead. Ice T is on Law and Order SVU. Yeah he is a big name but him not being there isn't notable enough to be in the lead when he was only pushed by promo videos. He wasn't at a Impact or anything along those lines and TNA didn't even acknowledge him not being there. That is a footnote. Reception is more important than Ice T not showing up.--WillC 22:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your insults about me being a so called fan boy do not matter to me. That are irrelevant and mean as much as the flying spaghetti monster does to me. Slam Sports do not have an official Hard Justice 2008 review. As a result, 411Mania.com's review of Hard Justice has been placed as its substitute until Slam loads a official review or a better source comes along like a star rating by Dave Meltzer.--WillC 02:02, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A link to Alberta Highway 2 is not required at the top of the QE2 page. It is not the only thing that can be called the QE2...something, see List_of_titles_and_honours_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II#Structures. For an explanation of what can and cannot be there, see WP:DISAMBIGUATION, and note that QE2 Highway is not even the current title of the Alberta Highway article.

Hello. I noticed on two occasions over the last two days you have reverted this version of the "I'm on a Boat summary from:

"The video opens with Andy Samberg pouring cereal into a bowl. To his delight, a coupon for a "FREE boat ride for 3!" falls out of the box. As he is deciding on whom he should bring, the shot opens to reveal his breakfast companions, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. Samberg first choses Schaffer, but skips over an anxious Taccone in favor of the previously unseen rapper T-Pain, who is also eating with them.

to

The video opens with Andy Samberg pouring cereal into a bowl. To his delight, a coupon for a free boat ride for three falls out of the box. While selecting who will go with him, Samberg chooses bandmate Akiva Schaffer but skips over bandmate Jorma Taccone in favor of the previously unseen rapper T-Pain.

I am willing to the concede on the spelling change (which was taken from the video) and the briefer phrasing. But, the sentence "While selecting who will go with him, Samberg chooses bandmate..." is not grammatically sound. To select and choose are synonymous, so you cant do one while doing the other. Additionally, this phrasing doesn't really make clear the first sight gag. I made a minor adjustment to the wording to be grammatically sound while accurately describing what occurred. It reads as follows:

The video opens with Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer eating breakfast together. When Samberg pours cereal into his bowl, a coupon for a "free boat ride for three" falls out of the box. Samberg ultimately chooses Schaffer to accompany him, but skips over Taccone in favor of the previously unseen rapper T-Pain.

In the future, I am humbly and honestly open discussion over reversion.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 20:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message and for your willingness to communicate. I read what you wrote and like your revised wording, which, for the sake of discussion, is:

The video opens with Andy Samberg, sitting at a table with bandmates Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, pouring cereal into a bowl. To his delight, a coupon for a free boat ride for three falls out of the box. While selecting who will go with him, Samberg picks Schaffer but skips over Taccone in favor of the previously unseen rapper T-Pain.

However, I still take exception with the "while selecting...he picks," which is the basic version of that sentence. When one says "While," they indicate something else occured, like "While selecting, Andy rubbed his chin," or "While selecting, Jorma was smiling". But really, Andy's selection or choice was instantaneious, just pointing his finger. He decided for a while, though, in the moments preceding his selection or choice. But they were two concurrent events; he didn't select the guys while he decided; he selected the guys after he decided. So I just as soon leave that out since there would be little point to saying "After deciding who will go with him, Samberg picks Schaffer..." Even though I think its not necessary, I wouldn't be opposed to the following wording:

The video opens with Andy Samberg — who is sitting at the kitchen table with bandmates Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone — pouring cereal into a bowl. To his delight, a coupon for a free boat ride for three falls out of the box. After pondering who will go with him, Samberg picks Schaffer but skips over Taccone in favor of the previously unseen rapper T-Pain.

Request reason:

was civil, simply pointing out hypocrisy of other editors (who engaged in attacks of non-registered users) who were also violating policies with zero punishment. It was WLU who was violating deletion policy and making personal attacks on "anons" and MuZemike who started making demands and acting uncivil. Plus the block time is far too long- a WEEK?? There were no slurs or other blatant personal attacks that would call for even close to that long of punishment.

Decline reason:

It was not civil, and your request is pointing the blame at everyone else. Please also see WP:NOTTHEM after thoroughly reviewing WP:NPA. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 00:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus at WP:PW was that finisher nmames are note italicised in prose, only in list. As it turns, out, this isn't reflected at WP:PW/Style Guide, so I'll mention it over at WT:PW. That being said, almost no articles here use italics for finisher names in prose, and consistency is needed. Any occurences of finisher italics in prose should be be removed. Thanks, Gavyn Sykes (talk) 21:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I've made a fairly large jackass out of myself, haven't I? Could have swore you had added the italics, not removed them. Checking again reveals otherwise. So again, sorry. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 23:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly I apologize, While using Huggle I rarely read what dosen't show up in red and your edits looked to wrong. They were not vandalism. However, calling the other "unintelligible" and telling me I need to have my "head examined." Goes against WP:CIVIL. You should comment on the contributions, not the contributor.

Thanks for your efforts to improve Oxygen bar by adding internal links. However, all but one of the links you added were inappropriate and have been reverted. Please read WP:LINK#What generally should be linked, WP:LINK#Year linking, and especially WP:LINK#What generally should not be linked:

... it is generally inappropriate to link terms whose meaning can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia, including plain English words, the names of major geographic features and locations, ... common units of measurement (particularly if a conversion is provided), and dates ...

Hope that helps. --RexxS (talk) 19:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you weren't able to understand our conventions regarding linking. If there's something there that you don't understand like "Year articles (1795, 1955, 2007) should not be linked unless they contain information that is germane and topical to the subject matter" or "major geographic features and locations" or "terms whose meaning can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia", please feel free to ask and I'll explain it to you. Proper nouns are things that we capitalise, simply being a proper noun is not a reason for linking. --RexxS (talk) 22:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to respond, and sorry I "threw out the baby with the bathwater" with the reversion of "U.S.A." - I do agree the full style is better and I ought to have spotted that. As for linking currency, I guess you could make a case that some other English-speaking readers, (like Australians for example) might not appreciate how much $1 is, but does the link to the article USD actually help them? Maybe a section link to USD#Exchange rates could help some readers - but not the Australians! When considering linking pounds, the article provides a conversion of sorts, by supplying an equivalent rate in pounds sterling for us Brits - so absolutely no need for a link there since the readers it's intended for already know what pounds are. It's the same kind of reasoning as when we provide conversions for feet and metres - we don't link those since one or the other will be familiar to the reader. Happy editing! --RexxS (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was making valid edits to articles, which were being reverted with no reason. I even began discussion w/ editor Clarince63 over Bikram Yoga, which was been deleted from his talk page. They responded to me that they were sure Bikram Yoga isn’t' called hot yoga, even though hot yoga redirects to Bikram Yoga!! All my other edits (this is a shared IP, I'm talking about the edits done today) are totally valid- like removing crystal balling from LA X, which is apparently what I was banned for. To be banned for any length is ridiculous, an entire month seems like a slight exaggeration considering I didn't even break 3RR.

Decline reason:

You appear to have engaged in an edit war. Whether you technically breached the three revert-rule is not relevant. The only exception to the edit warring policy is reversion of blatant vandalism. Unfortunately, this ip address has a long history of disruptive editing, and it is impossible for us to tell if you are one of the previous users who caused it to be blocked or not. Blocks are escalated over time, and given the block log from this address a month is a reasonable length of time. You could avoid that particular problem by creating an account.

Actually account creation was blocked also, so no I can't! So the facts that the edits in question that caused the block were not blatant vandalism by any sane rationale is also irrelevant? And the abuse of the admin for falsely declaring something vandalism will also be ignored? Can one consider the last edits to get a warning (ex- "fuck my asshole") to the ones involved today (ex-"commonly called hot yoga") to be in the same universe? The first is obivously vandalism, the second is obviously NOT. Yet the blocked occoured on the latter under the false charge of "vandalism". Even so, you can't give someone the penalty for something they did previously (or possibly didn't do)- there's a reason they didn't give OJ the sentence for muder on the robbery charge. It's called logic. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 23:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The last warning was a month prior. The last edits done around the time of the block was 1 good edit which still stands (Cabin Boy), one good edit that was reverted by Djsasso thus making that article incorrect(TNA TV title, you might want to fix that btw if you truly care about the site and its quality), and one apparent good faith edit (Gretzky, wasn't me so IDK if really done in good faith, but it appears that way & I follow WP:AGF). None of those edits, nor any of the previous dozen+, appear to be vandalism as Djsasso claimed was the reason for the block. I'm honestly curious, do you guys actually do a real review when these blocks are contested because it seems one admin will do it and everyone else just follows in lockstep. I would really like to know your thought process on why this block should remain because the last actual vandalism according to WP:VAN I can see on this shared IP out of the last 50 edits over almost a monthlong period was from the Supertramp edit 7/16. Especially for a shared IP I'd say that was pretty decent, hardly deserving of any ban let alone a THREE MONTH one.

Decline reason:

Good edits do not balance out vandalism edits, you cannot make 100 good edits then have "fun" on 5 pages. As more vandal edits are made so the warning level increases, when we get to level 5, it's a block. As for the length, in nearly all cases, vandalism block lengths increase with each block, this is now the forth block and the length is not unexpected, I would expect the next block to be 6 months and then 1 year - there are plenty of IPs blocked for a year on Wikipedia. And we do look at the edits made when there is an unblock request, we don't just follow the result of the last request (although we will read the reasoning in that as well). As for Gretzky, I don't think for one minute that is a good faith edit - the data was referenced, and was then changed without any reasoning given. Note that blocks are not there as a punishment, they are to protect Wikipedia - there are limited amounts of resources to revert the vandalism that some editors persist in making. Where you find yourself blocked from editing then the only way forward is to create an account.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:00, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The article Air Line Pilots Association, International does not use the abbreviation APA, it uses ALPA.
• The website ALPA uses ALPA in the name, logo, website, and all correspondences.
• MOS:DAB applies - the name is not used in the article, it should not be used in a DAB page

Please stop adding it, it's just not appropriate. If there is ANY evidence that the name APA is used, it should first be added to Air Line Pilots Association, International, and only then to APA. --Muhandes (talk) 21:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The point of the flags for the various non-American chefs on Iron Chef America is to better inform the reader about their origins, but as their culinary influence. We had a similar issue with Susur Lee: do we flag him as from China (where he was born) or from Canada (where he nationalized)? In the end, given his food, China was the better choice. Similarly, the Canadian flag misses a key element of Hughes' culinary style, thus the use of the flag of Quebec. It isn't a political statement, does not intend disrespect to the Canadian flag, and certainly doesn't intend to mislead, just to better inform. If you have any further issues with the flag in use, the standard procedure is to leave the edit intact and open a discussion on the article's talk page. Thanks!

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Živilė Raudonienė. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. 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; 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 21:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello good friend! There's really no point in vandalizing Wikipedia... countless users have tools and programs that spot vandalism, and we have almost a constant lineup of users who volunteer to monitor harmful edits, as well as automated bots that can locate vandalism and change it back almost instantly. Vandalism just like yours has been done countless times in the past, and we know how to deal with it. Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit, and sure, it might be tempting to totally fuck an article up, but that's not what we're here to do. If you'd like to edit Wikipedia in a constructive manner that doesn't make you look like a complete idiot, feel free to do so, otherwise, it's best to just leave it alone. That saves you the time of making pointless changes, and saves me the time of reverting those changes just as fast, if not faster, than you make them. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy using, and maybe editing, Wikipedia.

And if you have any questions, feel free to direct your inquiries to my delicious talk page; where we can sit and make banter over a lovely cup of green tea. BelloWello (talk) 00:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to The Climb (song). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines.

I love the line "I was born ready. I'm Ron Fucking Swanson." as much as anybody else. It's a funny joke. But I'm sure you understand that Ron was not implying that the word "Fucking" is his middle name, and citing that episode as a reference does not work as a source. It's not his name.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 17:54, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

But then you wouldn't be notified of my reply. I just clicked on the link that said "TALK to ME" since I wanted to talk to you, not myself. Since I'm here, why is the initial "tar sands" moniker not require a source but my edit does? The only source in the header is called "The Oil Sands Of Alberta", why the double standard? --208.38.59.163 (talk) 18:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, I would be notified of anything posted on this talk page because its in my watch-list. Second, there are multiple sources in the article that refer it as the "Athabasca Tar Sands", just no inline citation on that exact sentence in the article. I suggest you take this to the talk page of the article if you feel so adamantly that it should be changed. Once a consensus is gained, then it can be changed. Until then, please don't make POV edits to the page as that can get you blocked again. Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 13:32, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tad creepy you're watching my talk page, but whatevs. You'd better not falsely accuse me of vandalism again though or it'll be you that may get blocked. Be sure to reread WP:VANDAL before throwing that label around again. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 15:47, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

POV edits without sources can be considered vandalism. So its not a false accusation. Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 15:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stating that a place has no tar can't possibly be a POV edit. It's not an opinion, either it has tar or it doesn't. If it does that makes me wrong, not POV. Hilarious because the whole "tar sands" name is nothing but a POV term. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Fernando Zylberberg, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

Hello, I'm N2e. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Inspiration Mars Foundation, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. N2e (talk) 05:38, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Hwy43. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ponoka, Alberta, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Alberta  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Justino Bambino, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:34, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 208.38.59.163. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Justino Bambino".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Justino Bambino}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 10:00, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gpkp 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

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 when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Everett Drozd and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Everett Drozd, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, 208.38.59.163. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Everett Drozd, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
