Undeletion request notification
[edit]Hi, you participated in a deletion request at commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Wikipe-tan lolicon (2007-01-04). The same files are now being considered for undeletion at commons:Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:LoliWikipetan.jpg. If you're still around we'd appreciate your opinion and feedback. Thanks! Dcoetzee 23:13, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: Whatever's going on here...
[edit]Hi, and thank you for taking notice. By the looks of it, that is a rogue IP used by one experienced blocked/banned user (I could guess who it is, but I don't want to give him the time of day), who known I watchlisted the page and trying to get my attention in the most pathetic way. I think he is gaming the system by posting an insanely crude and inane message then and now (for instance, this one), waiting for the IP to go stale (or changing it), then coming up with tiny reposts to let us know he's still around. If I guessed right about the identity of the user, so I tend to look at this, and then overlook it, in the light of that fact. Dahn (talk) 06:53, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Joke banner
[edit]I'm not going to revert your removal of NWA.Rep's joke banner from his talkpage, as I have already reverted the same edit by Bartsa. But I'm really sorry to see that you think it necessary to kick a guy who is so completely down. The joke isn't that funny, but it's not disruptive by any definition. Removing such harmless things from userpages, which users traditionally have wide latitude to manage themselves, raises the temperature and the mutual hostility in the community, and that is in the long run far more hurtful to the encyclopedia than a silly joke or two (this one wastes editors' time to the tune of what, three seconds?). And no, he can't "fight his own battles", as he has scrambled his password. His one point of pride right now is to retain the banner, which has been there for a long time. I confess I don't think it an important thing in itself, but I can understand how somebody can get very upset about the deletion of his userpage, and try to retain at least this last trace of his personal choice on Wikipedia. Please see the discussion on my talkpage.[1] Bishonen | talk 22:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC).

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre
[edit] Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed between 12-14 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the initial messages I sent out went to only WikiProject members and users that had over 15 reviews). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
NOTE: If you are interested in becoming a recruiter but do not meet the 15 review requirement, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters and put your status as "Not Available" until you have reviewed enough nominations.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 21:05, 10 June 2013 (UTC) |
PAs
[edit]Despite having no prior interactions, you have made a string of personal attacks and you assume bad faith. Please stop that realize that I am not alone in my disagreement with MOSAM. And note that I didn't even start the discussion or go to the policy fact itself. I have worked tirelessly to improve A&M topics and I've got many articles to GA levels in the last month alone. Your characterization of me as malicious and with a "vendetta" is very rude and I ask you retract your statements and assume good faith. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:19, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Stay off my page. Thank you. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:16, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Relevant diff. Also, talk pages are for public communication with editors. So, in short, no, not if there's something that needs to be discussed with you. --erachima talk 15:29, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Anime- and manga-related articles, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. You've already been warned. This is your final warning. Stop making personal attacks on me. I don't even know you! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 21:14, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
- I maintain that I have not personally attacked you, and you are simply abusing the warning process to try to scare people you don't like into shutting up. --erachima talk 21:46, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:13, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Totally agree, good work. Thx. 88.104.27.75 (talk) 03:23, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Reverting out
[edit]You cannot revert out pages like that, especially during a discussion. Multiple editor OWN and localconsensus does not make your actions correct. Revert your removal and let the process continue. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:32, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
- Your personal attack has been removed. Casting aspersions is a violation of NPA. Even your final statement is inaccurate because of CWW and condescending. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:48, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.
[edit]This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:16, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Bleach (anime) for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bleach (anime) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bleach (anime) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:25, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Personal attacks
[edit]This is a personal attack and clearly inappropriate. I have reverted it. Your preceding comment isn't much better. You may want to redact parts of that yourself. I fully understand that there are longstanding disagreements with ChrisGualtieri about various anime- and manga-related articles, but personal attacks of this type only poison the well and do not help at all, least of all yourself. Huon (talk) 03:42, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- I, obviously, disagree that it was unwarranted or I wouldn't have said it. The division between a standard disagreement and a WP:TEND case is that it's the editor, not just the editing, that has become the problem. --erachima talk 04:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Instigating
[edit]Please stop baiting and making more bad faith and/or insulting remarks at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Anime-_and_manga-related_articles#Refocusing_discussion. You were warned about your comments and I find your incivil comments to be disruptive. It serves only to foster more problems. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:35, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
- Remove your post where you twist my words and reinsert it under the false guise of "vandalism".[2] I removed my own post because you were likely to make it into NPA when I am tired of these trolls. WP:DENY all trolls is best. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:09, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing/responding to your posts anymore. Have someone message me when you need to interact with me. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:16, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
AN talk
[edit]I'm not sure that this sort of thing is at all helpful, especially as the user in question is blocked and can't say anything in protest. I'd also suggest that it's probably fairly impolite to modify another's signature, even with a (presumably intended to be) humorous edit summery, and quite likely to be outside policy too. Perhaps you'd like to go back and revert yourself? Thank you, Cheers, LindsayHello 08:19, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Unwelcome Interjections
[edit]Hi,
Did you have time to go through the AFDs and DRVs as I requested? Or are you making pronouncements on the life of a horse having not examined the animal? Barney the barney barney (talk) 15:44, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Erachima. It's an impressive work; a B, for sure. A matter of preference but I'd go with {{gnr}} for citations of the manga itself. It's cleaner, visually-wise, in my opinion. Instead of citing everytime "Kubo, Tite (2000). Zombie Powder vol. 01. Shueisha. pp. XX. ISBN 4-08-872828-9," it's okay to have the complete citation once and then only use the chapter. {{rp}} is also a good option. The difference is that you cite the chapter with gnr and the page with rp. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 18:53, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
GAN
[edit]I replied to your idea at WT:GAN and I like it. Though I was wondering about a collaboration on something. I'm not to picky on the topic or area, but I think it'd be good to work together on an article. I've always found that to be a fun way to get to know each other better. Would you want to do that? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:30, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
Well closed
[edit]Hey, erachima. I actually edit-conflicted your close of the Historicity of Jesus charlie foxtrot on ANI with a close of my own, which would've said more or less the same thing. Thanks for closing it; that thread was way off, as far as venue. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 06:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
Historicity of Jesus
[edit]Thank you for closing. The basic problem appears to be well-meaning but very bad advice at WP:DRN. The issues were taken to WP:DRN, where the volunteer editor said that the issues involved both content and conduct (which was correct), and said to take the content issues to requests for mediation and the conduct issues to WP:ANI. The latter was well-meaning but bad advice, because, although there are conduct issues, none of the contentious editors have put together diffs or made a specific case. (Also, it isn't, in my opinion, a good case for formal mediation, but that is another question.) There are conduct issues, but they aren't formulated for admin action yet. (I don't think that they will ever be dealt with at WP:ANI anyway. I have the feeling that the case will eventually go to arbitration, but that is my opinion.)

Hey I got an "on hold" notifications for the GA review. Now that Crisco inserted the revised Lead, I think we should be all set to continue the review?

[edit]Hey Erachima, there's a message for you at Talk:Mordin Solus/GA1, when you have a moment czar ♔ 01:52, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Czar, Erachima's last edit on Wikipedia was back on August 19. If there's no response soon, you may want to find a new reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset, wasn't my review—was just checking in czar ♔ 02:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Erachima, the same applies to your review of Talk:Yelp/GA1, which you started on August 15, and where the issues were addressed by CorporateM later the same day. There have been significant edits since then, too. If you're around, it would really help for you to post whether you intend to continue with these reviews; otherwise, we may have to find someone else.

DYK for Uzumaki
[edit]On 30 October 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Uzumaki, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the horror manga series Uzumaki was adapted into a live-action film and two video games in 2000? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Uzumaki. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Ƒ/8 and be there; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. ——SerialNumber54129 09:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
