Removal of trivia

edit

I'd removed it per a comment from another user as one item is inaccurate and the other lacks context. I'll try to work them back into the article at some point in the future—the article's been something of a project of mine—but for now I hope you'll understand my actions. Also, trivia is not intrinsically encyclopedic, nor are miscellaneous facts. If you'd like to integrate them into the main text, be my guest; otherwise, I'd appreciate it if you'd re-nix them.

Fair use rationale for Image:3village.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:3village.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:3village-Wikify.png)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:3village-Wikify.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Category:3VCSD Project Helper

edit

Hi. I recently encounted Category:3VCSD Project Helper, which you created as a membership category for participants in the Three Village Central School District Wikification Project. In general, project membership categories are reserved for active WikiProjects, and not needed for personal 'works-in-progress'-type projects in userspace. Until such time as it does become a formal project (if you intend to pursue that option, I encourage you to have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals), would you agree to deletion of the category?

No evidence has been provided, not plausible reason to doubt the veracity of the uploader that this is in fact entirely his own work.

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:DFProd.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reverting vandalism

edit

Hey there :) . Thanks for helping out with reverting vandalism and keeping Wikipedia reliable. In the future, be careful not to double warn users, like you did here. I recommend adding Gracenote's amelvand script by adding importScript('User:Gracenotes/amelvand.js'); to your monobook. The script tells you if you reverted the last edit so you don't have to worry about double warnings. Thanks, Mønobi 23:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Removing AfD messages

edit

Hi. I just wanted to drop you a note to ask you not to remove AfD messages from articles until the AfDs are closed. When an article is legitimately tagged for speedy deletion, the admin who deletes it should close the AfD as well. If for some reason the reviewing admin should decide that the article is not a good candidate for speedy deletion, the AfD will likely be left to run its course. I happened to be reviewing Benefit of a Doubt when you edited it, so I did not miss that there was an outstanding AfD, but under other circumstances it might not have been properly closed.:) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

January 24

edit

Compwhizii, the re-revert I made to I Am Sam was an accident, okay? I'm using User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool, with "rollback" option. It is very clear that I accidentally clicked on rollback next to I am Sam. It re-reverted the bad edit originally made by 207.112.48.231 I was about to revert the vandalism by 207.112.48.231, but somebody else already did.

It was never my intention to create disruptive edits to Wikipedia. I know Wikipedia about three years ago. Always My goal in Wikipedia is to help fight back vandalism, so that's why I installed the anti-vandal tool. Why? Because I believe the tool would help find and revert vandalism easier. I recieved comments from other users, saying that I need to refrain from unconstructive edits, but it was accidental edits. The first one I got was from User:Elaich. When first made a major edit in Ed, Edd n Eddy, the alleged vandalism was meant to be helpful. I thought it was helpful, but literally, it was unconstructive.

Every user in Wikipedia is encouraged to be bold when it comes to editing articles. That's not vandalism. Sometimes, users say that some good edits are considered vandalism immediately. Just because good edits found in any particular article, does not mean they should be considered disruptive and harmful. Users have to realize that good contributions does not depend on perfection, and no history of vandalism. It's like creativity: it doesn't depend on proper spelling, flawless grammar, or even perfect artwork. So, there is no right or wrong answers.

I believe other users in Wikipedia shouldn't be afraid in updating pages because they might create harmful edits. It's not like someone's going to say, "You have to be perfect, or you will be blocked from editing." And I'm hoping this "be bold" on editing will encourage users to try to assume good faith when improving the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered. Thank you. --Healthykid (talk) 22:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Alright. Sources:

So if you deem this enough for me to include two lines back in that original aricle, can you please revert your change? Otherwise, I consider this unreasonable of you. 58.161.213.202 (talk) 16:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Matchday Soccer

edit

Compwhizii

Hi, recently you reversed an edit to the page Matchday Soccer that I made - I have to admit that I am no expert at editing wiki pages but as the world foremost expert in this field I thought I should give it a go - If I could I would just delete the entire article as it is wrong in almost every aspect - I should know as I designed and created the game and a simple google search on either my name or the game will confirm this. My name is Jon Ritman and I wrote a game published by Ocean Software in the eighties called Match Day (not Matchday). There is a mainly accurate article for this game under it's correct name Match Day Here is a copy of the short article and my comments to every line (my lines have JR> at the start):


Matchday Soccer is a soccer franchise created by Gremlin.

JR> No it was an Ocean title, if gremlin had attempted to publish a game called Matchday Soccer we would have had them in court so fast their 22 legs would never have touched the ground.

The first game Matchday Soccer was made in 1984 for most console in that time. It had a power bar for kick strength and was one of the first good football games. It had good graphics for its time and great ball control.

JR>> Whilst Match Day II (published several years later) did use the power bar (as far as I know this system has never been used elsewhere) Match Day did not.

It was followed up by a sequel Match Day 2 released in 1986. One criticism was the lack of numbers and had a bad screen contrast. The cover originally was planned to have Diego Maradona on the cover but Gremlin never actually approached him about this.

JR> Notice the correct use of the name this time, again this was a game I designed and programmed. As mentioned above this did have the power bar system. There were no plans to have Diego on the cover, the artist was just given the brief to do a soccer cover. He tells me he just found a magazine and used a photo in there to create a painting with - by chance I found out who that photo was a few weeks after it was released - it was none other than Gary Liniker and I only found out because a few weeks after MD2 was released a Liniker licenced game was released that used the same picture, fortuantly nobody noticed at the time or it would have been nasty. I have the original painting hanging in front of me right now.

Matchday Soccer may be getting a 3rd game called Matchday Football 2008 for the PlayStation 3, possibly being developed by SCE London Studio (The developers for SingStar). The game may only feature a League style Club Championship and a knock-out Cup called European Club Cup and Rest of World club Cup. The game may only feature around 30 clubs and 15 Countries. The game might be like Sensible Soccer, which also had a current-gen update. Matchday 08 will have the same style as Sensi with Big Heads or something like that.

JR> No idea where this came from, the franchise is dead and since anyone owning the name would have to pay me lots to use it I very much doubt they would bother - the current owner of the name is Infogrammes/Atari

The 3rd and possibly final Matchday Soccer is currently only a rumour, but may actually be in development.

JR> not even a romour :-(

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Unconstructive

edit

I'm new to this, so not sure what is meant by this term - I am assuming it is just placing a comment with my changes. So I did just that to the Idaho article - hopefully it is worthy. Let me know - the change was made to reflect actual US Census bureau numbers. The original number for Idaho 2007 estimated population was way too high. Just trying to make it accurate.

Copyvio image on Jimmy Page

edit

It is not a good idea to restore these because it generates pointless extra work for editors monitoring these things—this process is not entirely automated, nor can it be—and while these images are in use they expose Wikipedia to potential litigation from copyright owners.

It has become standard operating procedure for some editors to upload new copyvio images immediately once the previous copyvio image is removed. I think it would be a good idea for editors watching these articles to make a point of not rewarding such tactics. / edg 00:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you are right, I do know.
However, once pointed out to them that their behaviour is unacceptable, most teenagers modify their behaviour.
I am somewhat unconvinced by your statement "Ether way i am sorry for any inconvenience" when I not only see no signs of you modifying your behaviour, but see you continue your thoughtless behaviour.
Further, twice I politely suggested you delete your unjustified and unsubstantiated accusations, but you did nothing.
I will be more explicit: Your behaviour is unacceptable.
Should you continue such thoughtless behaviour, you are likely to end up being prevented from editing WP.

Blocked

edit
 

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating 3RR on Dominican Day Parade. Since the changes in question were clearly not vandalism (as shown by the user's use of cites and his attempts to discuss the matter here) your reverts were part of an edit war. This edit shows you were aware of your violation but chose not to revert yourself despite having been given several hours in which to do so. Everyone gets carried away sometimes, but it's important for you to understand the difference between vandalism and a content dispute.

I know you're a quality editor and this is your first offense - if another admin wants to lift the block early they can feel free to do so without asking me; I will not contest it. Whether the block runs its course or expires early, please remember: there are no emergencies on Wikipedia. Sometimes warnings are warranted, but sometimes (like this time) disagreements call for genuine discussion. Apologies, Kafziel Take a number 07:59, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dear Compwhizii, the reason why I decided to leave Wikipedia is because I just receive an e-mail from Dkendr saying that I'm a serial meddler that if I continue to alter people's work based on your my own opinion of what is "constructive," I'll be banned from editing articles. I thought it would be safer to forget Wikipedia and try to edit my own work. Here's the message:

You are incorrect to revert my edits; you do not have the right to

decide what is "unconstructive," and it appears that you are a serial Wikipedia meddler. I have therefore restored my edits to the Eric the Midget page as you had no right to revert them. Should you continue to alter people's work based on your own opinion of what is "constructive" I will petition to have you banned from editing articles.

People like you give Wikipedia a bad name. I strongly urge you to take

up another hobby.

Maybe he's right, I am a meddler, and I don't really know how to make constructive edits. I really should take up another hobby. And I'm not experienced on contributing. --Healthykid (talk) 15:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reverts of my edits to spider

edit

I would be very interested in knowing why You consider my edits to the spider article unconstructive. I provided full explanations for both in the edit summary. The first was the removal of a nonsense comment that 60 cm spiders exists (!!!), which also had a request for references attached, and, as noted on WP:REF, it can therefore be removed (which only seems sensible when dealing with such comments that so obviously are way off). Of note that this claim evidently was vandalism, as evident by the directly following edits by the same editor (this and shortly after this). My second edit to that article was a warning regarding a photo where someone handles a Brazilian wandering spider - something that no sensible person should do (consider checking the specific wiki article if not familiar with this group) - a warning was therefore only fair in my opinion (just in case someone without knowledge of this genus of spiders were to see it, and get a mistaken idea. Wikipedia might not be censored, but you still can't find bomb-making descriptions on it!). Regardless, I would be very interested in knowing why my edits were reverted, and do hope you will seriously consider restoring them. Thanks. 212.10.93.196 (talk) 03:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've re-added the edit, as I, based on the amount of edits you've made over a short period, can see that you're a pretty busy wiki editor, so I presume the revert of my edit simply was a mistake. I have, however, also changed the photo of the Brazilian wandering spider to a photo where the issue of someone foolishly handling this dangerous species isn't an issue, and as such the warning below the photo can be left out. Should there be anything you disagree with in that edit, I do hope you will add a response here. Otherwise I presume the earlier revert was a mistake (... it happens, no prob.). 212.10.93.196 (talk) 06:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dear Wizz Person- I dont know what your problem is, but you have re edited the Christmas tree Lane page to be inaccurate. I happen to be the Lane Historian and have only corrected the glaring innacuracies on the page that anyone from Altadena would recognize. How is it that you believe you are more qualified than I to tell the history of the lane? Do you have the slightest idea of the long History ofg the Lane or Altadena? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.66.54 (talk) 03:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rollback

edit

Please be more careful with your rollback tool; here you restored vandalism to an article that an IP had removed. I see this does not appear to be an isolated incident either given the discussions above - if you continue to rollback constructive edits, your rollback permissions may be revoked. :/ krimpet 23:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately it seems you have been continuing to rollback constructive IP edits, even within the period of the last few minutes; I have removed your rollback permission, and disabled your access to the tool Huggle for 48 hours. Please be more careful in the future; rollback is not to be used on constructive edits. :( krimpet 00:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Youtube Poop

edit

Is there any particular reason why it should be removed, or are you removing it just because it has "poop" in its title?

As I said on the talk page, none of that section is of any way vandalism at all. You can search on YouTube yourself for proof, or visit http://www.youchewpoop.com for the official site. 85.232.209.158 (talk) 21:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism

edit

Please take into consideration the validity of my edits before blindly accusing me of vandalism. If you disagree on the content I have added, then lets discuss on the talk page of the article. I found it interesting that your talk page is filled with comments of people who think you have accused them hastily of vandalism... seems like you have a bit of a history of this. 71.65.254.179 (talk) 22:49, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

re: Tool or no tool

edit

I don't believe they should... just a difference of opinion I guess. Back when I was still an "account" I was a VandalProof user as well as popups and Lupins tools etc. I was very diligent that I did not use any vandal tool to revert an edit that caused a link error or went against known consensus or anything else that wasn't clear vandalism. For those rv's a correction with a proper edit summary was more appropriate. I have zero tolerance for vandals and trolls. But I can AGF a spelling mistake and not use something like popups to rv... because I think that's ill use of the tools. It makes not difference to me now. After I rolled over 20000 edits I abandoned my user account for the purity of anonymous editing. Which means that now... I have no tool :D don't tell Wiki alf that I said that... he'll never let me forget it Have a nice day! 156.34.213.177 (talk) 23:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Compwhizii.

I noticed that you're reverting 71.122.222.95's edits on the Talk:Czechs page. I took a look and I think that his edits are well-intentioned but misguided attempts at cleaning up the page. Continually reverting them may not be the best way to settle this, as his edits appear to be made in good faith.

regarding Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research

edit

Please read this version of it. Also please note how it says: Do not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue.

To write a new article without infringing material, follow this link to a temporary subpage. State that you have done so on this article's discussion page. Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be clearly identified and the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. An administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

It doesn't appear you are an admin. If I am wrong, I apologise.--Rockfang (talk) 15:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
