Minor Edits

Why did you mark [1] as minor? Of course, you were right to make the revert, but please read Wikipedia:Minor edit. It states that you shouldn't mark an edit as minor if it changes any substance, and that in any case reverts should not be marked as minor. Cheers, David.Mestel 18:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Deletion review/The Game

Deletion review: The Game (game) Thanks for removing my accidental comment from that page.

I intended to modify: Articles for deletion: The Game (game)(4th nomination) ... Quite confusing after 4 nominations ;)

--roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 08:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

The Game

Hi. I've added to your comment about sources on Talk:The Game (game). I hope you don't mind. I can see the possibility for a very long and effortful conversation there about valid sources, and I was trying to pre-empt it with some links to policy. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 15:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Three Revert Rule (3RR)

Please have a read of this page. This is an important policy that we have to prevent on-going revert wars. You have actually violated this rule recently but because you are relatively knew here and have not been warned about it before ~~you won't be blocked~~. Make sure that you are well aware of it for the future.--Konstable 13:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Something funny with your block log. It shows no blocks. But I see you have indeed been blocked. Tough luck, you did violate the policy. Make sure you are aware of it in the future to avoid futher blocks.--Konstable 13:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

A question about stopping spammers

I've been trying to stop the spam that the ip 70.121.189.173 has been persistantly leaving on the lonelygirl15 page. I noticed that you also deleted this person's spam once and added a spam warning to their user page. The user continued to leave the spam and eventually I got all the way up to the last spam template. My question is, does me leaving this template on someone's page actually block from editing wikipedia, or do I need to go through another service to put them on a list of blocked users? The template is on their user talk page, is that all I need to do? thanks, Criptofcorbin 08:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

The templates that declare a block are only to be used by admins when they are enacting a block...Admins are the only users that can block people here. If a vandal has been given a final warning and continues to vandalize pages, take it over to WP:AIV and follow the steps to report them there. An admin will take a look at it and decide whether a block should be issued. I reported them just now. WarpstarRider 08:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

your revert on the game

i understand the reason why new content is discouraged in this article due to its constestable nature but why is it that listing a country which does play it should be removed? I simply dont understand why. I DO understand that its (likely) not sourceable, is that the only reson? —(chubbstar) ^{— talk | contrib | 05:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)}

Essentially, yes. The only thing that's allowed in the article is information that has a reliable source behind it, and the only reliable source we have is that one newspaper article. The list of countries used comes directly from the DM article, as the start of the sentence states; you can't add a country that wasn't listed there. WarpstarRider 06:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but that there is no specific mention in a german zeitung that The Game is played elsewhere does not preclude its existance there. I don't need some ivory tower scholar to tell me that the sky is blue to know that it is blue. I only need to know what the sky is and what blue is. Reasoning fills in the rest Pokowpane 09:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Criticism of MLB on FOX

The whole point of this particular article is that its a point-of-view article. And what's wrong with me referencing various message boards (from actual baseball fans rather than pundits) to justify these claims? If I didn't then that would have been a problem within itself since it would all fall on my personal opinion. I dare you to do this amount of research!!! TMC1982 20 October 2006 (UTC)

A random person posting on a forum is not a reliable, verifiable source, and certainly not something to build an entire article around. Also, Wikipedia is not the place to be conducting research. That article is on very shaky ground. WarpstarRider 08:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Well then, I guess we have a whole lot of "random people" posting on a whole lot of "random fourms" to complain! http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/462450p-389056c.html TMC1982 21 October 2006 (UTC)

The vast majority of the article is based on forum posts. An opinion piece regarding one event isn't justification for all of the junk. WarpstarRider 21:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

This following link that's critical of Fox isn't from a message board: http://www.nypost.com/seven/10202006/sports/falls_foul_ball_sports_phil_mushnick.htm And what do you mean "regarding one event"!? The "MLB on FOX" program has been around for ten years as opposed to simply 2006.TMC1982 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You continue to miss the point. Bringing up a newspaper article and saying "this is critical of FOX" does not change the fact that the vast majority of what is written on the Criticism of MLB on FOX page is based on stuff written on message boards and blogs. These are not reliable sources, and should not be the basis for an encyclopedia article (and a rather large article, at that).

Really, my talkpage isn't the place for this. If you want to debate the merits of your article, take it to the AfD page. WarpstarRider 00:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm taking it to you personally, since you see fit to nominate it for deletion. And excuse me for actually being somebody who's willing to get in a debate! And unlike you, I'm a real baseball fan, who works hard to back up a point!!! In fact, I'm willing to bet that I hardly watched a minute of Baseball on FOX to understand where I'm coming from and what I'm talking about! TMC1982 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Debate over the status of the article belongs on the AfD page, that's what it's for. You'd have much better results taking your arguments to the appropriate place rather than continually badgering me here. WarpstarRider 06:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm "badgering" you because it annoys me to no end whenever I work so hard and passionately on one particular subject (to give as much information and points-of-view as possible) only to have it completely disavowed! TMC1982 30 October 11:04 (UTC)

Reggie Fils-Aime

Sorry about that, I had realized my error and requested another editor revert just to avoid the 3rr. Also apologized to the anon who had been removing it. --Gregorof/(T) 10:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

lonelygirl15

i put a protect on it quite simply because people where taking out the 'notable youtube members' paragraph out on their own wim, without making a point in the discussion page. that paragraph apears in all youtube personalities articles. Lonenlygirl15 should be no diffrnt. 82.39.9.197 15:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Just putting up the template doesn't actually protect the article. And you can't try to protect an article just because someone removed something that you put in there. WarpstarRider 22:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion: Why do you care so much?

Honestly, I'm not personally that interested in every celebrity to come out of YouTube, although I was browsing those articles because I was a bit curious about them. But I don't understand why you are crusading so hard for deletion. It's one thing if an article isn't factual, or is badly written. But if the article is OK, and people want to have one, why should it bother you? Some of the objections you raise seem like very minor quibbling over the exact letter of the rules. I think your real objection is that they aren't notable, right? But why do you care so much? JudahH 17:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There are plenty of other people you can ask the same thing; these recent couple of debates haven't really drawn much of the usual crowd, though. There are policies here for a reason, and every article has to adhere to them; we can't just ignore them and allow articles for every minor fad just because a small group of people wants to write about them. We're supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a dumping ground for internet fads. (And I wouldn't call the entire verifiability policy, one of the core policies of Wikipedia, "minor quibbling.") WarpstarRider 18:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikilogos

I've noticed you're very involved here, you might be interested in my proposal for Wikipedia use logo variations created by members of the wiki community to mark national and international awareness days, Remembrance Days, notable anniversaries, and observance days. Please comment on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Logo Variations and on my talk page. Thanks! frummer 03:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

YouTube

Thanks for checking this out. I'm not an editor of the article but something did seem a tad thick on that entry. I did not want to be penialized for editing out something that might have been substantial but glad to see you reviewed it and spotted it as possible vanity. Nice work.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 23:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

NRSNVNA

So remember that whole Flash Flash Revolution debacle a few weeks ago? I was on the side of "keep." I was an inclusionist then. After reading a bunch of Wikipedia policy trying to find arguments and counter-arguments, it became clear to me why the whole verifiability policy exists. I've since become a deletionist. I remembered one of your sayings, "No sources means no verifiability. No verifiability means no article." I liked it and I thought it was catchy, so I wrote an essay on it. You're welcome to comment (and, of course, edit.) It's at WP:NRSNVNA. Thanks! (Also, if you don't mind, could you tell me how to add formatting to four-tilde signatures? It's something I've been curious about for a while now.) - Chardish 08:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks good so far. I'll give it a closer look later.
And to edit your signature, just go to Special:Preferences and put what you want into the "Signature" box. Be sure to read the guidelines at WP:SIG#Customizing your signature to get an idea about what to avoid, though. WarpstarRider 09:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Spongebob Squarepants (character)

Hi. Why did you remove the list of aliases? I think they are probably there for a reason. They are mentioned elsewhere in the article, but I think having them there makes it easier to read as a list of nicknames. They're not all one-time nicknames, as some have been used frequently. I have not reverted your edit, but is there a good reason why it should not be there? Thanks. A stroHur ricane 00 1^{(Talk+Contribs+Ubx)} 14:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Ys III

Nice job on starting the article. This page is super old and I haven't even looked at it in ages, but if you happen to find anything useful in there, feel free to nab it. - Ojaxis 12:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

William Sledd

OK, it is time We Tubers had our own wiki. I am starting a wiki just on YouTube guys with more than 100 subscribers. I need ten good sysops. I've seen your contributions and that you realise there is a problem here on WP with too many mems being added in. We need to broaden the idea of wikis. I would like to appoint you as admin 2. Please let me know by emailing me. frummer 08:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Mark Zuckerberg page and others

Hi,

Curious to know why you removed an external link from the Mark Zuckerberg page that led directly to a profile article on him. It was clearly of value and relevant. A couple of less valuable article links remain on that page.

This also goes for a couple of other entries on different pages with links to relevant information. A lot of this info is of great interest to users who come to the respective pages.

Thoughts?

(Babar54)

The fact that you've been posting links to that site in various articles makes it look an awful lot like spamming. Please review the external links guideline. WarpstarRider 22:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Internet Phenomenon and you

Hey! I noticed you deleted the segment about 300 from the Internet Phenomenon list. Just wondering why you felt to do this when a simple citation tag would have been more suitable. Just as a matter of civility it's the better way to go. Unless you've hidden under a rock for the last 9 months, you'll know that the information in the article was true, it cimple lacked sources confirming it in the encyclopedic sense. They are now there in all their glory. The page is certainly subject to some questionable memes and such, but this is certainly one that cannot be overlooked due to its social impact for its short time. --linca ^linca 03:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll

I have no idea where to talk on this thing, so I'll just put it here. Please stop deleting the sections on Snake Rattle and Roll. Despite the fact that I'll never get any credit for creating the concept behind the game, I do know the information there is acurate, and if you would really, truly, positivily like me to provide you with the letter from Nintendo, and a couple copies of my concept art, I'm sure I can dig them out of storage. Otherwise, don't assume that because you think a statement sounds false, it actually is. Nintendo ripped me off, but what can I do about it? Nothing, except maybe mention the truth on this site. Thanks for your understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfenzer (talk • contribs) 07:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
