Template:Non-free reduced

Hi, Koala15. Could you do me a favour. The template {{Non-free reduced}} is supposed to be substituted; this means you are not supposed to place it directly on the file the way you have been doing. The way you are doing it is adding incorrect time and date stamps on the images, which is placing them in incorrect maintenance categories. Please use the code {{subst:furd}}, and the wikimedia software will add the appropriate time and date stamp to the file. Further information can be found here. Thanks! -- Dianna (talk) 03:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

A discussion thread has been started regarding your proposed addition of this source to the article for Wreck-It Ralph. Please feel free to add your thoughts to the discussion here. --McDoobAU93 15:53, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Pipelinks

] is a useless pipelink. Click The_Hobbit:_An_Unexpected_Journey; where does it go? Now click The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey; where does it go? Cresix (talk) 04:12, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Changing timestamps

Why are you changing the timestamps like ? Legoktm (talk) 00:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Ah nvm, figured it out. Thanks for doing that :) Legoktm (talk) 00:48, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Edit to ASAP Rocky discography

Please refrain from making unsourced changes to articles, as you did to ASAP Rocky discography. Misplaced Pages should not feature unverifiable speculation about future events, such as "to-be-announced" content that you added to that article. At the very least, a reliable source should be cited if it is indeed confirmed. Regardless, this still falls in with making unsourced changes in general, so please stick to the sources. Dan56 (talk) 00:05, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

RE: Well then how do you know about it? Is there an article online or the artist's YouTube feed? Please do not restore your addition without this kind of proof. If this is an exceptional claim, that still requires something. Dan56 (talk) 00:07, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Looking through your contributions history, you made this change with the edit summary "... on 106th & Park". Is this where the video was played? Dan56 (talk) 00:10, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I just googled "ASAP Rocky Fuckin Problems" with the setting on "past hour" () and found this confirming that the video was premiered on the show. Next time, just research the topic. These days, any kind of news is instantaneous. Dan56 (talk) 00:12, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to ASAP Rocky discography and ASAP Rocky. This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Dan56 (talk) 03:29, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Alternate cover

Please check page histories (located at the top, the "view history" tab) to see a log of edits and changes to an article. The removal of the alternate cover is shown at the page history for Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors; explained in this edit: per Template:Infobox_album#Template:Extra_album_cover: "Covers that are essentially similar, despite differences in colouring, poses, text, etc, should not be included." Dan56 (talk) 21:46, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

This isnt up for discussion. The cover clearly fails the criteria, and further changes against will be considered disruptive. I dont know what you mean by "handbooks", but you're editing too close to vandalism by continously disregarding WP policies. Dan56 (talk) 21:53, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

You really want to get an admin involved? Dont think they'll appreciate some off-hand comment like "old handbook". Read the criteria. It's self-explanatory: what encyclopedic value does an "essentially similar" cover add to an article on the topic? And which articles are you referring to when you say they have an alternate cover that also fails this criteria? Dan56 (talk) 22:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

And if you're continuing to make disruptive edits, i.e. edits you know are against policies and guidelines, you may be blocked; you can be reported at WP:AVI having continued to make edits you know are incorrect, and be blocked, so I am in a better position, albeit not an authoritative one, if you want to bring that up. There's a reason this welcome was made to you, but did you even bother to review any of those links? Dan56 (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

They are clearly the same, other than a coloring difference in the background around the head. Essentially the same cover. Dan56 (talk) 22:26, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

They are essentially the same cover besides the coloring difference so per Template:Infobox_album#Template:Extra_album_cover its pretty unnecessary to have both in the article. STATic message me! 23:12, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed your recent edit to Rick Ross does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. They also let other editors understand your intentions if you make potentially challengeable edits to an articles (WP:FIES). Thanks! Dan56 (talk) 09:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
