2012 Dnipropetrovsk explosions

Hi Prisonermonkeys, I write you concerning a removal on the page on the 2012 Dnipropetrovsk explosions, motivated because implying blasts were political demonstration in favour of Yulia Tymoshenko, and similar unsourced section that security forces had staged several other blasts elsewhere. I agree with you that some claims might not have been adequately sourced (e.g. concerning the Minsk Metro bombing responsible) but I cannot agree with the full deletion of the paragraphs of the background section recalling the Timoshenko case. I do not think that the text inserted implied blasts were political demonstration in favour of Tymoshenko, but if you feel so, I invite you to help by editing the text in a more NPOV way. I will reinsert the text, with edits, and I look forward for your help too. Bests,--Dans (talk) 10:15, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Re:DTM season page

Unless you've already fixed the problem, it is appearing alright now on Opera. Don't know about the other browsers are appearing like that, but that's how it is appearing at my end. Craig(talk) 11:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll have a look on Firefox then! Craig(talk) 11:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Got it; just a problem with the rowspan levels. As long as it covers every row of the table, you only need it in the top row of the table, rather than at the top and the bottom. Craig(talk) 12:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

HIMYM

Regarding your diff, it may be because some bozos have been putting up plot details before the ep aired. --Eaglestorm (talk) 02:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

F1 circuit maps

I agree that it's an issue, but I'm far from an expert when it comes to maps, or graphics of any kind. Sometimes I see people adding them, but I never recognise the editors as regular posters, like this chap . Maybe try to tap up someone like that? Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:14, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Prisonermonkeys. User:Restu20 left a message on my talk page offering to make corrections to F1 circuit maps. DH85868993 (talk) 13:16, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Actually I don't create and edit F1 circuit maps, but i've found some references (like this and this) and I use it to indicate to other users how to edit circuit maps (when they are wrong) or how to create them (if the track image doesn't exist). For example you can see here what I've said.

Your idea seems to be nice, but for first I've thought that we must have a correct circuit map for every F1 track. Once we have all maps, we can decide to standardize all the circuit map to the same style. What do you think about this? Restu 09:54, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Race abbreviations

Hi Prisonermonkeys. FYI, I have reverted the race abbreviations in 2012 Formula One season to the WP:F1 standard abbreviations, which are used in all the other season summaries, driver & team articles, etc. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 09:48, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Peer review instructions

Hi. I posted a note for you at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#2012_Formula_One_season. It tells you the best process to follow to get a Peer Review started. --Noleander (talk) 13:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Misplaced Pages's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Gareth Roberts

In 2012 World Rally Championship season you said: "this doesn't need an explanation - we don't go into detail as to why drivers swap co-drivers mid-season every time they do it"

I wonder if you really are that cold guy that the death of G. Roberts means you just a co-driver swap to Craig Breen. It's not about Breen's co-driver change, it's about lost of a life.

That crash probably ended Breen's career. For example, if Loeb died, would you say it's just a driver swap to Elena and should not be mentioned?

I hope you don't remove the explanation why Roberts is not reading notes anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FinnishF1Fan (talk • contribs) 09:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

RE:Quote dumping

Alright thanks. If there is any way where you can help me improve the article, then just give me a heads up. Anyways, thanks again. Fanaction2031 (talk) 18:44, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 15

Hi. When you recently edited 2012 Silverstone GP2 and GP3 Series rounds, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victor Guerin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello

Please change dark knight rises as An 'American Superhero Film' From british American Superhero Movie Because The Worldswide Controller And Rights Holder Company Of dark knight rises IS 100% American-Warner Brothers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.226.238 (talk) 07:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

The nationality of the film was decided by consensus. It can't be changed without a new consensus being reached. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:23, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello

learning about the origins of bane in the prison is the most important part of the film. without it the film has nothing to stand on. learning about the origins of bane and ras al ghul and the league of shadows and then finding out that it wasnt bane but it was talia that escaped is central to the movie. if its over the word limit then something else should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pierreleone (talk • contribs) 14:14, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello

the story about the mercenary and the warlord is the most important part of the movie. everything else is just 'person went from A to B'. the most important part of a story is the question 'why'. whether its a news story or a movie everybody wants to know why. for you to sit there and say the origins of bane talia and ras and league of shadows is not important is outrageous. carefully sit there and think about how the movie would have been if Nolan took that whole scene out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pierreleone (talk • contribs) 10:04, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Kim Collins

Please join discussion at Talk:Controversies at the 2012 Summer Olympics#Kim Collins - Where's the controversy?. I don't want an Edit war. HiLo48 (talk) 05:59, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Manufacturer drivers in WRC

Hi Prisonermonkeys,

You asked me to prove that the priority 1 is not the same as scoring for manufacturer. Here's an example from Monte Carlo rally this year: List of Manufacturer entries and the whole Entry List. There you can see most of the World Rally Car drivers have priority 1. Only van Merksteijn Sr., Maurin and Neuville have priority 2. And that's because they have no previous (good) results from WRC with a WRCar. I couldn't find anywhere what is the actual argument for which priority the driver has. I think Delecour got his P1 because he is a former winner in a WRC event.

Hopefully this made you understand the priority thing. FinnishF1Fan (talk) 10:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

God, you may have a point. It does all look a bit familiar, as you say. I'm for abandoning the race link discussion and leaving Eff Won to themselves - it's not going anywhere right now because nobody agrees with him/her. If he/she pops up again elsewhere, we'll have a closer look at it. If so, I'll inform Pyrope as well, he has good experience of it too. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:11, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

That's certainly the way she works - if she feels like she's being ignored in one argument, she'll start another by edit-warring. I particularly noted the "please try harder to please the readers" edit summary, which seemed a mighty familiar sentiment. It's that "I'm making so much sense and you're just being disruptive" argument... Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:20, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that... it's showing all the signs. Hopefully it's been knocked on the head for tonight. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:49, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

I had the same thoughts as you, although I do feel it's DeFacto again. I explained on Bretonbanquet's page. QueenCake (talk) 20:50, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Whoever it is, please stop having your own little war with him/her. This is not helping matters at all, and the more you provoke, the more he will respond. I know it is annoying to have someone making mistakes, we've certainly had a lot of new people in the project the past week or two, but you need to keep a calm head and handle things in the appropriate manner. It is far easier to handle one person being out of line than it is two. The5₉ (Talk) 07:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

My response was not directed at this discussion, I just felt this was the best place to put it rather than to start another section. In my view some of your edits have been made with the assumption that it is indeed a sockpuppet, and although I agree the possibility exists, I think your edit warring is not helping the situation. Building a sockpuppetry case when someone is questionable is fine, but edit warring is not. The5₉ (Talk) 08:30, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

I know you feel you're fixing things by reverting it, but I'm also sure you know that 3RR and cases on Edit Warring doesn't give a damn about who was right and who was wrong. If Eff Won wants to hang himself for forcing his edits without having consensus, then let him. Attempting to put the page back to the way it originally was can still make you appear just as guilty in the eyes of an administrator who will see two editors reverting each other over and over and having their argument in edit summaries rather than, or even concurrently, on discussion pages. I myself have had to suffer a 24 hour block for such overexuberance. As I said, leaving the page his way for a day wont kill anyone, so long as it avoids edit warring, escalation, and further troubles for people. The5₉ (Talk) 08:48, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Ground Zeroes

Please do not remove information that clearly pertains to the game. Readers should read what's currently available about the title, even if it's based off a demo. Over time we will replace such content, but this is now. We live in the present. --AnddoX (talk) 19:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I have discovered what you are up to

No wonder you objected to me adding the useful links to the specific GPs in the calendar table in the 2012 season article! I see you have an irrational hatered of these links, evidenced by your actions on June 11, 2012 when you deleted similar links from both the 2010 and 2011 season articles long after those seasons had ended. I have restored the links in those articles and plan to add them to the 2012 article, they are invaluable in such long articles. Please refrain from deleting them all again as they will be useful to other readers, if not to yourself. Eff Won (talk) 20:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lotus E20, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DRS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jerome d'Ambrosio

I'm according with your opinion, but there are 2 sections for it. In the section drivers you can put a driver before take part in a race. For this reason the page of 2013 season have the drivers with contract for this season before the kick off. In the section standings, you only can put the drivers who have raced in the season, in this case in the 2013 season this section doesn't exists. Phósphoros (talk) 15:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Eff Won

Thanks for the message. It will all come out in the wash. Remember that ANI is always available should fast action be needed. Mjroots (talk) 05:59, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Please restrain yourself

I have commented on your latest, and frankly unacceptable, edit at Talk:2012 Formula One season. Eff Won (talk) 06:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
