January 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

TV.com is a fan-run site, and thus does not count as a RS. Multiple sources list the episode as airing on January 30. Ωphois 16:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Wizards - Release

Why are u keep changing the table?? any reason?? if yes, please write them down in the comments field. thx FFall1986 (talk) 21:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you please let us know why you would want to change the release table of Wizards?? FFall1986 (talk) 13:01, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Your edits

I have noticed an allarming amount of edits coming from you, that most likely involve reverting other users, without explanation first. When someone reverts you back, they at least give their explanation, but you reverting them with no explanation does not make a good Misplaced Pages editor. For instance, in List of Sanctuary episodes, I use the Series<br># thing because several other episode lists use this (Lost, Fringe, CSI: NY to name a few), and that there are several variations of this, and none of them are the wrong options. But then you change the tables with virtually no explanation, other than "The lock is without witdh is better" which I don't understand (and not that I want to offend, but your English doesn't seem that good).

In other instances, several fellow editors seemed to be against you on several other episode lists, so you seem more like a one-man army out here. Discussion is important if you have a disagreement, so that a resolution can come to this. If you don't start discussing the reversions you made, I may be forced to report you to the Administrators' noticeboard for your disruptive editing, and they'll take action (probably giving you a temporary block). I'm trying to help you out here, so you can become a better editor. Thanks. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 03:52, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been edit-warring across a number articles - most recently List of Sanctuary episodes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Wizards of Waverly Place (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - but other articles too, over the past week. It is not acceptable to use reversion in this manner and it is doubly unacceptable when you have not once attempted to resolve the disputes on a discussion page. For this reason, I have blocked you from editing for 48 hours. If you do not modify your approach to collaboration with other editors, it may be necessary to look at longer term measures. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} CIreland (talk) 13:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Breaking Bad episodes

Why do you keep changing the table formating of the article when it's the one most lists use?–FunkyVoltron 17:46, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Rosie, you're back to not using edit summaries, and being inflexible about your edits. You're going to be blocked again if you're not careful! Drmargi (talk) 15:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

DVD Extras

The extras on a DVD are the things above and beyond the featured episodes. So, for the new iCarly DVD, the "iFight…" and "iDate…" episodes, even if they are classified as special episodes because of their length, are not extras/bonus material. —C.Fred (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

List of Castle episodes

I have created a new section to discuss the current edit war over the table headings at List of Castle episodes. Please join the discussion here before making further edits. We need to come to a consensus. Your constant warring is not productive. Thanks.--Logical Fuzz (talk) 20:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Rosie, we've been here before! Let's discuss. You're using Sanctuary as an example for your version, but have warnings for edit warring on that page, so I'm not sure it's the article that best supports your edit. My way or the highway isn't the best way to edit; it tends to get you blocked, as you well know. Drmargi (talk) 21:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you.

Rosie, please remember to include edit summaries unless you are reverting vandalism. Specifically, explain your reasons for changing things that are fine the way they are. Your edits to tables often make them more confusing to novice editors, rather than making them more self-explanatory. For example, your edit here reverted an edit to change code from "aux1" and "aux 2" to "written by" and "directed by." This is a good thing! Please try to err on making things obvious, not more difficult. Thank you. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 14:42, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

In addition, your claim here that the reason for your change was that the "informations for season 2 are incorrect" is ridiculous. You know you changed a whole lot more to that table than just that information. If the season 2 info is an the issue, revert that only. PLEASE, not only leave edit summaries, but LEAVE ACCURATE ones! --Logical Fuzz (talk) 14:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Aaron Stone?

Why do you keep reverting my Season 2 updates on Aaron Stone. One, there no reference that Season 2 is premiereing February 10, 2010 but February 24, 2010 by my source. Two, I followed all the rules by posting the info and a reference. You should probably post a DISCUSSION in the Talk Page and not just keep it to yourself so we can discuss the issue as said in the Wikipeida Rules. - Alec2011 (talk) 20:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again for opening a discussion (which you didn't). Next time, please open a discussion after 2 reverts so you don't get in trouble for the 3-revert rule. - Alec2011 (talk) 21:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Again you broke the 3-Reverting rule. I asked you to open a discussion in the talk tage (which you are doing in the View history tab NOT the discussion page). If you do not reply back to this message or open a discussion in the Talk Page, I will be happy to report you to the administration and you will be blocked. - Alec2011 (talk) 21:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I added the episodes with a reference and under it's own section "Upcoming Episodes." The episodes are referenced as episodes not season 2 episodes. - Alec2011 (talk) 22:31, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Constant reverting without a reason

Rosie, you must learn to give edit summaries explaining why you revert someone's edit. This is really getting old. I do not understand why you insist on entering into potential edit wars by reverting pretty much anyone's edit to anything. It appears that, in your mind, your way is the only "right" way. This is especially frustrating when an editor gives a reason for their edit, yet you give no reason for the reversion. An example of this is here on the List of 10 Things I Hate About You episodes page, where I gave a reason for my edit, yet you did not give one for the reversion. So, what is your logic? Do you have a reason?

As I said in MY edit summary, the automatic current date information at the top of the episode page gives the reader a false belief that the page is up-to-date. The current date is not necessary, nor is the number of total episodes that have aired. The table tells you the answer. It is not a requirement for an episode list, especially one that is so short. This code is completely unnecessary and gives the wrong impression to the reader. So, Rosie, I am waiting for your answer. What is your logic for your reversion? Please enlighten me. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 23:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to add that you need to give honest, truthful edit summaries. Saying you are reverting vandalism when you are not is called lying. I truly believe you do this to draw less attention to your constant editing to have it "your way". If someone has a different opinion than you, that does not make their edit vandalism. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 00:17, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. You are well aware of the need to provide edit summaries, and accurate ones at that, this requirement having been discussed with you several times. Do not simply revert. Explain the resons for your changes. If you do not, your edits can be seen as vandalism. AussieLegend (talk) 13:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes, you will be blocked from editing. Please stop edit-warring. You have been asked to provide accurate edit summaries and yet continue to refuse to do so. Please explain why you wish to change the table on the article's talk page. DO NOT simply keep reverting other people's edits. AussieLegend (talk) 14:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. You have been warned numerous times about reverting without an edit summary, as well as edit warring. This must stop! --Logical Fuzz (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes

Regarding this edit, you were asked to discuss your proposed change on the talk page. In your previous incarnation as 1989 Rosie, you were advised of the necessity to do this several times and finally acknowledged that you understood the requirement. You were also advised that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a flimsy argument to use. You seem to have forgotten all that you have been told and what you agreed to, just as you did when you received this warning. I'm not going to bother to tell you not to simply keep reverting others without explaining why because you've been told that many, many, many times and just continue to ignore it. All that's going to happen is that you're going to end up blocked again for your disruptive editing. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit Warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Life Unexpected. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 20:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet case

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Misplaced Pages accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/1989 Rosie. Thank you. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 21:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Fall

Sie werden von sockpuppetry vermutet, also bedeutet es, dass jemand vermutet, dass Sie der Anwendung von mehrfachem Misplaced Pages verbotene Zwecke erklären. Bilden Sie sich bitte vertraut mit den Anmerkungen für den Verdächtigen, dann reagieren Sie auf den Beweis an Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/1989 Rosie. Danke. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. How many times do you need to be reminded of this? AussieLegend (talk) 14:01, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

There is also an active discussion of the placement of the table of contents on the List of Leverage episodes article. Do not make changes to the placement of the TOC until consensus is reached for placement as you've edited. Drmargi (talk) 14:14, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Copying from article to article

Hi. I note that you recently performed a split of material to the article List of Southland episodes, and I just wanted to drop you a note to point out a few things about the procedure. As Misplaced Pages:Split sets out, when we split material, we have to provide a direct link to the source article. This is necessary because Misplaced Pages's contributors do not release their material into public domain, but retain rights to authorship under the terms of our licenses, CC-By-SA and GFDL. This wikilink satisfies that requirement by allowing readers to access the history and see who contributed what and when. Usually, we put into the edit summary something along the lines of "Split from Southland (TV series)". Then, we note the split as well in an edit summary at the source article. That would read like "Material split to List of Southland episodes", in this case. This helps make sure that the article is not later deleted, as it cannot be as long as the article to which the material has been split remains. We also have an optional template for the talk pages of both articles at {{Copied}} (instructions for using it found there). I have fixed the problems with this split, but I wanted to let you know for future use. Thanks, and if you have any questions about this, please feel free to leave a line at my talk page.

February 2010

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as The Vampire Diaries (TV series)‎. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 18:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Having reviewed this sequence of edits, I don't find Coral Bay's indicate any ownership of the article, and certainly no more than your own. I generally find that's an argument used by editors determined to have their own way, and is very, very hard to prove. As for the edits themselves, the standard for episode count, per the infobox guidelines, is to elevate the count as the episodes run as we cannot be sure that all episodes produced will be broadcast, nor do we know the firm order or pattern of broadcast. To insist on listing 22 episodes when only 14 have been broadcast violated WP:CRYSTAL as we have no advance knowledge of future plans of the broadcasting entity, just what the stock of episodes is. That it's been done in other articles and gone unchallenged doesn't make it right. Moreover, when you saw a potential edit war develop, you had the opportunity to take this issue to the discussion page, and chose not to. I would suggest you look to your own editorial decisions in this circumstance rather than to lay blame solely on Coral Bay. Based on what I've seen of each of you here and elsewhere, you both could stand to revert less and talk more. Drmargi (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)--Drmargi (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Please familiarize yourself with WP:CRYSTAL, your edits to Pretty Little Liars (TV series) asserting a "first season" are premature since no episodes have aired, and only a pilot has been confirmed to have been produced. Yes, ABC Family has announced an initial pickup of 10 episodes (and this is noted in the article), but anything can happen. There is no value to adding premature information to this or any article. Thanks.— TAnthony 21:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I also just realized that our recent back-and-forth reverts may be construed as a violation of WP:3RR. I'm going to let your last edit stand in good faith to end this situation, but I wanted to point this out to you in case you are unfamiliar with the policy so that you may avoid being blocked in the future.— TAnthony
