Sorry

Good call on Athul noble (talk). I'm glad the admins agreed. One addition here and there would have been one thing, but this guy was really spamming that site. Thanks for inviting my comments. I sincerely appreciate that. —Josh3580talk/hist 07:09, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Josh3580: Yeah! I appreciate that you took a moment to toss in your chips. That doesn't always happen, so thank you for the assist! Going to RSN was a formality. It's clear that it is not a reliable source, and the shady behaviour of the main actor, who appeared to be here only to spam his site, was offensive. And his defense of "Why my website is considered as spam all others are doing the same." is just face-palmingly pitiful. I've reported the site for blacklisting, but I have no experience doing that, so I don't expect much, especially since this was essentially a manageable spam campaign. I've gone through a bunch of articles and reverted all obvious instances of the site. Hopefully the two of us will be able to remember that "r4rating=crap4ever". Zing! Thanks again, m'man. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:23, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- No problemo. Any time. And crap4ever it is. —Josh3580talk/hist 08:22, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I saw the blacklisting was denied but only because it was from one user. If you see it being added anywhere else (and remember you can use the linksearch from the spam report!) by another user, put it back on the list and reference that previous report! I so despise spammers ... Ravensfire (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Ravensfire: Yeah, that's a bummer, but I wasn't too surprised. I didn't know about the link search! I'll bookmark that, thank you. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:39, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Best regards, Sunjerbob Sunjerbob (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Well, well, maybe the troll will fall in the well
Thank you for removing the troll post that claimed to have planned the Battle of Kuwait. I warned the IP that trolling is a way to get blocked, and did not respond, so as not to feed the troll, but removing the troll track is also a good idea. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:23, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon: Thanks for the acknowledgment! I went bold on that one and figured it was in vio of WP:NOTFORUM, though it did cross my mind that I would be depriving my fellow HD lurkers from some of the scandal. :) I checked to see if he posted elsewhere, including the Schwarzkopf article, but I dinna see anythin'. Have a great weekend, m'man! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, I had the same encounter earlier. I put on the TSO article, "On Aug. 1, 2008, at 7:35 AM, The Sims Online was officially closed by EA.", only to find out that was took down by a vandaliser named GSK. He was like,"Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to The Sims Online. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you." gsk 07:29, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
And I was like:
Um, I saw the records of it a second ago, and I saw your name and that red Vandalism sign. Either you're a vandalizer, or Misplaced Pages is acting funny. Sunjerbob (talk)
Anyways, I hope this vandalising thing goes away! :)
Ciao!

re: D-styles
Thanks for the help. I think it must have a link that's triggering it not to save. Is there a way for me to figure out what link it is? D-styles is certainly notable altho the genre is admittedly niche so I don't know how that effects it. Altho considering the other turntablists with pages it's rather shocking he doesn't have an entry since he's considered one of the 3 best scratch/turntablists in the world. I'm going to try the articles for creation route and see if that works. Thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djdiggla (talk • contribs) 19:34, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Djdiggla: You're welcome. I would imagine, though I can't say for sure, that there is a fairly specific message reported to users when they do the thing that you are doing, and it should indicate whether you're triggering the spam filter, or some other filter. If you happened to save the article on your computer, you could try pasting it in your sandbox to see if it gets tripped again. As a work-around, you could either set up the article (via AFC or in your sandbox) without specific references, then add them back in one-by-one to see which one is the offender. Or, you might be able to avoid the filter by removing the "http://www", but of course we couldn't leave the article that way. You could also just search the Spam-blacklist for your links. Take care, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

There is proof
There is proof that the movie exists. On March 6, 2014 Ben Bouquet confirmed that a Gumball movie titled The Amazing Movie of Gumball was to be released in cinemas on March 10, 2016 about Kenneth from the Microwave returning and planning to eat everybody in the entire universe and Gumball and Darwin having to stop him. A sequel was also confirmed titled The Amazing Movie of Gumball 2 and will be released in cinemas on March 11, 2021. It is about Sal Left Thumb the footprint guy from the Spoon returning to get revenge on Nicole by killing her for knocking him unconscious with a frozen sausage and telling him not to call people suckers. This is definitely correct it has been confirmed. http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/The_Amazing_Movie_of_Gumball. 118.92.41.133 (talk) 16:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- 118.92.41.133 Wikia does not count as "proof". IMDb doesn't count as proof. Misplaced Pages doesn't count as proof. They're all user-contributed. Proof comes in the form of coverage in reliable sources like newspapers, magazines, or trade websites like Variety or Hollywood Reporter. Wikia is where children go to spread hoaxes about shows they love or hate. By the way, you've misspelled the creator's name. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
118.92.41.133, I don't think you're right. Sunjerbob (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

- These links don't list any helpful references. What exactly are you trying to prove? That some dates appeared on a Misplaced Pages page? Of course they did, but that doesn't mean they were accurate. If you're trying to prove that the episodes aired on a specific date, you'll need to provide references from reliable sources.

Stale ANI report archived
This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please replace the code {{admin help-helped}} on this page with {{admin help}}, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
Howdy, I filed a report at ANI, but the issue was never resolved (I don't think an Admin ever even weighed in) and the report was archived in this edit (It is the topmost report regarding an editor's competence.) What is the protocol? Do I start a new report, or copy the old one back to ANI, or is there another preferred approach? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:20, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Kumud Pant sock
Please check my warning on the sock's user talk page here. Hope I did not mess anything. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:21, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, if you don't intend to file a Sockpuppet investigation report, but plan to template instead, I think you should probably be using the {{sockpuppet|username}} template, and I believe that goes on their USER page. (I say this having perhaps mistakenly applied it to a sockpuppet's talk page recently by mistake.) Although when the "sockpuppet investigation" link is red, it's kind of a bummer, so maybe it would be best to open an SPI in the future if you're feeling inclined? Personally I don't notify socks, because they typically know they're socks, and because fuck 'em; instead of feeding the poor or purifying drinking water in developing nations, they're only here to waste your time.

- Darthcon Huh? Part of why your edit was reverted is because it contains grammatical errors. It is important that article content is written in a professional tone. If that's not something you are able to do, you may wish to wait until your writing skills improve. Repeated submission of problematic content will likely be considered disruptive.

Infobox television episode
There are some issues with proposed parameters for {{Infobox television episode}}. I've left a message at WT:TV about this but unfortunately the templates used in the TV project draw little interest, even though they often cause us grief. Because of this I'm approaching experienced editors directly, with a view to getting some more input. The discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Television#Infobox television episode provides an introduction to the issues.

User:Upperhouse01 blocked, Junior Writers Awards page deleted
Hi Cyphoidbomb, De728631, I was blocked, since you think I am doing some Advertisement or Promotion. But I would like to let you know the Junior Writer Awards is hosted by Norton House Global Education Initiative - a non-governmental organization (NGO). We would like to get more people knows it is a charity event for all students in Hong Kong and Macau (may be more countries next year). They all free to join. No hidden charge. JWA is a multi countries and high level English literacy competition. Some of the advisors and judges are very famous in Hong Kong and Macau. Some of them are government officials. I hope you can understand the Events and guide us to do well in Wiki. Please unblock me and restore the related doc. Thanks

- Hi Gordonreg, I think you might have missed my pre-emptive response here: Apparently some of you are having difficulty understanding that "promotion" isn't restricted to "for-profit" organizations. Promotion can also involve the advertising of non-profit events. In your statement above you say, "We would like to get more people knows it is a charity event for all students in Hong Kong and Macau" Surely that would strike you as promotion, no? Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:08, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Cyphoidbomb, sorry for any inconvenience caused. What I can do now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gordonreg (talk • contribs)
- Gordonreg What you can do now is not promote. If you want to present the Junior Writers Awards as an encyclopedic article, then you should read Your First Article and you should probably go through the Articles for Creation process so that you can get the article up to speed with references from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If your sources are mostly in Chinese, you might consider asking the Reference Desk for help translating the content or with providing some balance to the article. You are at a disadvantage because you are talking about a writing award event that hasn't happened yet. So the SIGNIFICANCE of the event probably hasn't been established yet. An important thing to remember is: not everything deserves a Misplaced Pages article. And if you want to advertise, buy local advertisements. If you plan to copy/paste promotional content from the main site, you might as well turn your computer off, because it's not going to make the cut at Misplaced Pages. This is an encyclopedia, not a billboard. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Adventures of Little Carp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ringleader (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.

Stub sorting
Hello Cyphoidbomb. Thank you for tagging an article as a stub. I noticed that you used the {{stub}} template. In the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could sort the article to a subcategory by using one of these templates instead. For example, you can use {{US-novelist-1960s-stub}} for an American novelist born in the 1960s. Of course, if you can't find a proper category, you can always use the {{stub}} tag and someone else will sort it for you, or you can propose a new stub template or category here. Thanks!--I dream of horses @ 01:34, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- I dream of horses Hiya, do you recall which article this was? My guess is that I stubbed it with the default suggestion from AWB. I'm still a new AWB user, so I'd need to figure out better ways to use the automated tool. And if you know of various plug-ins or whatever that could help improve my ability, please let me know! I'll also look around. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:58, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Why did you withdraw the AfD? The consensus was quite likely to be merge and turn the page into a disambiguation page. --Stfg (talk) 17:00, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Stfg - I'm kind of having shit luck with my AfD decisions lately. I was withdrawing the "deletion" aspect since I was getting criticism about using AfD if I was open to other options like merge or disambiguate or whatever. I still think the article should change and I'll fully support a merge (since I think I originally proposed that). I started a discussion on the talk page. It's been a rough week. Sorry if that messed everything up. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:54, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Fescal
Hi Cyphoidbomb,
The information in the article is legitimate and so are the references. Many other artists in the same genre as FESCAL have cited the same source and nothing has been said about there page? So why target this page? Surely if it's consistency that is sought after then all pages should be flagged, not just this one. I see this as a malicious attack for no reason other than to degrade an artists profile.
If you want, I can send you a lot of links of other artists on wikipedia with the same citations. Further, I would hardly say that ABC Radio National. is an unreliable source, which is stated twice in the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimoninIceland (talk • contribs) 19:15, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, SimoninIceland according to the nomination, the nominator's objection is about the subject's notability. Notability criteria for musicians can be found at Misplaced Pages:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. The fact that other articles have similar problems is not a valid reason to keep the article. The problems with each should be resolved. If you want the article to remain, you should respond to the deletion discussion at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Fescal. But more importantly, you might consider providing more indications of the subject's notability. Some of the sites used as references look like blogs, to me. Those aren't typically considered reliable sources as any well-funded publicity company could slap together a bunch of blogs, hire people to write reviews, and use them to promote their clients on Misplaced Pages (which we frown upon, by the way). There are a lot of squirrely paid editors out there who litter Misplaced Pages with articles simply to promote. If you want the article to remain, I would encourage you to find mainstream publications that speak about the subject significantly. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:26, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Cyphoidbomb,
- I feel that bringing this artist into doubt has been done with poor judgment and a lack of research, not to mention respect. The notability is with a ring of truth. I can agree with you to some extent that his existential mainstream limelight is limited, but this is not to say that this artist has never featured in the public eye, refer to references for proof. So I'm afraid the flags you raised of "Notability" are fallacious and it is hoped that folk can see this.
- With respect to your other flag of "unreliable sources", I'm afraid that I can not agree because I know of all the sources and have seen them figure in the area of music for over a number of years as an admissible place of publication about music (if you want to know the who runs the magazines and what is their editorial policy, I encourage you to make contact with them). I do agree that from one's first impression that they can look very amateurish, but the reliability of the sources should not be brought into question and can be sought after if required.
- Further, I find your comments about myself being, to quote "And if you have a close relationship to the group, or to a company that might have been hired by the group, etc., please read WP:COI. It's somewhat peculiar when a brand new user leaps into a the fray on a 2 week old article, and starts deleting other people's edits and making accusations of vandalism." condemnatory and unwarranted. The reason I joined wikipedia was to show people the truth and to revoke the ill will that has been done towards this artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimoninIceland (talk • contribs) 20:10, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi SimoninIceland, If another user has a problem with a subject's notability, editors can either work to better establish that notability, or do nothing and the article might be deleted. Your best bet is to find more "mainstream limelight". You are welcome to disagree with me on the reliability of the sources, but your opinion doesn't preclude me from adding those flags. The article belongs to the community, and the cleanup tags are used to communicate to the community that there might be problems with the article in need of improvement. Misplaced Pages has a culture and established guidelines for the type of content that goes into articles and the sources that are used to support that content. That's why I keep trying to draw your attention to WP:RS so you can read up on what type of resources qualifies as a reliable source As a new user, you are understandably unaware of these things, and that's fine, and I'm happy to provide you with some information. But you may wish to reconsider the inflexibility of your position, as the sources may not endure the scrutiny of the reliable source noticeboard and may wind up impacting other articles. No disrespect was intended by suggesting you might have a conflict of interest, we see those all the time and we try to educate people appropriately. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:27, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Dear Cyphoidbomb,
I understand what you say and at the same time I accept that there is a lot to learn about Misplaced Pages, and this is something that I'm prepared to learn. Nonetheless, I feel people should open up a conversations about a subject before condemning the article for deletion? Surely, it would have been better to get some kind of consensus on the subject before making the decision to flag it for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimoninIceland (talk • contribs) 20:42, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- SimoninIceland Discussion will occur and consensus will be established during the Articles for deletion process, which typically lasts 7 days. You don't need consensus to start an AfD. If consensus already thought the article should be deleted, it would probably have been deleted by that point. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Your request for adminship
Hi Cyphoidbomb, I have closed your request for adminship as unsuccessful; there was no consensus to grant you adminship at this time. Fortunately, most people in opposition provided you with excellent feedback on how you can improve and many had praise for you. Given how your responses to people throughout your candidacy indicated your willingness to learn and improve yourself, I'm sure you'll work on said concerns and will easily pass your next request. I do hope that this result hasn't discouraged you. Good luck. Acalamari 22:23, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Acalamari thanks for your work and for your input. I do feel discouraged, actually. The worst aspect of it is that it means the community has decided I have to continue to spend more time than necessary repairing unnecessary problems created by disruptive editors. Anyhow, thanks for your note! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:46, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Second that. Six months of solid AFD and/or CSD tagging and you'll be all set. Best of luck! §FreeRangeFrog 22:37, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

- Try hard and in six months, I'll definitely support you the next time around. Keep up the good work! I will look forward to seeing you become an admin when October rolls around. Epicgenius (talk) 01:17, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
