Talkback

Hello, Amortias. You have new messages at Steel1943's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

CatchPhrase celebrity section.

Hi I just had a question about the CatchPhrase Misplaced Pages page. Recently, SolomanMckenzie added in a section about the celebrity episodes being broadcast and the winnings. and the like. There recently has been a crackdown on game shows like The Chase UK or Tipping Point Lucky Stars, where certain other uses have deemed episode guides and lists of celebrities to be fancruft and NOTSTATS (you can check the edit histories of both programmes). Even after this has been mentioned on both programmes, users like Soloman McKenzie likes to add in lists of Celebrities or episode guides which do get reverted. Would this section that this user has added be considered fancruft as well? This is an article for Deletion discussion that occured for a similar game show discussing it. any advice would be appreciated. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Hollywood_Game_Night_episodes 184.160.203.195 (talk)samusek2~

Batch file

Please explain how I can properly add the link to www.BatToExeConverter.com to the batch file page. My compiler is my lives work. It started a software category in 2003 and it adds many useful commands to batch files that cannot be found elseware.

It also allows users to hide their batch file code and add an icon. They can raise code to ADMIN level execution status and embed their company name and copyright/version information in the file properties.

I was also trying to remove the part of the article that contains malicious batch file code in order to prevent ignoarant people sharing malicious code to hard working people. This can cost time and money to thousands of people if it is not removed. Someone could potentionally lose their job or even worst. Why was I blocked from making these changes.

I am new to editing wiki articles but I feel my changes are necessary. Please help me make these changes.

Always here to help.

Milton Keynes

Hi there, you recently removed edits I made to Milton Keynes. The population number does need changing though, as it has been updated on the Town Council website.

http://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/your-council-and-elections/statistics/population-statistics

From the site: 255,700 people were estimated to be living in Milton Keynes in 2013.

semir osmanagich

What I really put are FACTS, which are always OBJECTIVE, because they are true and what is subjective is somebody's opinion... I am open to different opinions and I also included some of negative or critical opinions in a text! I have no problems with that... But, if Your whole text is based on negative opinions or few years old information INSTEAD of facts, maybe because facts include for example this person's success in some area or rewards or so then I wish to ask You: does it mean that "objectivity" in case of Mr Osmanagich for You or for the wiki? is that HAVE to be given exclusively NEGATIVE "information" and opinions about that person? Because it is obvious that ANY positive FACT, not to talk about opinion is not tolerating at all... Or?

February 2015, Pierce Brosnan

Well, sir, if you noticed as I've submitted modifications on the page GoldenEye: Rogue Agent and anything regarding to that of Pierce Brosnan's presence is absolutely a myth started by the fandom. In fact, Brosnan was never collaborated either with likeness nor voice in that video game. It all is a subject that belongs to Jason Carter instead who handled the role of Bond/007 in that entry. Feel free to reply. Thank you, and much obliged for the notification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroMinusTen (talk • contribs) 13:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, if the information is incorrect then please feel free to remove it. The reaosn it was reverted is that no explanation was given in the edit summary to explain why the information was removed. Even better if you have a source that shows this was Jason Carter that would pretty much prove it. Amortias (T)(C) 13:05, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Greetings, sir. On this page, that I do have a link to, shows footage of the character with the name 'generic' sculptured upon. I don't currently have a footage of the credits that appear on the video game where Jason Carter's name was enlisted. But, it is written on the game's IMDB page, in voice. As for the link, it is an interview with one of the writers who never mentioned Brosnan's existence in the project at all. Howeverm that single image, if compared to Carter's portrait, will be a proof, in my honest opinion. An interview with the game's writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroMinusTen (talk • contribs) 13:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

No Way Out (Chocolate Watchband Album)

Sorry, you can't use A7 on an album. You can use G12 on a copyvio, however, and I've just tagged it for that. The style was too professional-reviewer for my liking, so I Googled a bit of it... Always worth a try with things like that. Peridon (talk) 18:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Narmer

I happened across your reversion at Narmer, and I don't think it was justified. The IP editor did cite a source, and although it may not have been perfectly formatted, it is recognizably a journal article. BIFAO (though the IP misspelled the acronym) is the Bulletin de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale, a prestigious Egyptological journal. The particular study that the IP cited is visible here. I can't read the French, but it looks like it probably supports the IP's claim. A. Parrot (talk) 21:13, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi A. Parrot, I couldnt find the study that the IP had mentioned (probably as the acronym was mispelt) so reverted it as unsourced and left the IP use advice on how to reference. If your able to restore it with the correct place cited I'd have no issue with that. Amortias (T)(C) 21:16, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Just to confirm (as I can read French): this is a valid journal article reporting very important discoveries concerning Iry-Hor, Narmer and Memphis. This article is also cited in the articles on Memphis and Iry-Hor. Iry-Hor (talk) 09:02, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Rewards Of Do It Yourself Aquaponics

Interesting one. Definite art-spam - but when I went to the author's page, it read

Hi, everybody! My name is Leonore.

It is a little about myself: I live in Netherlands, my city of Sint Joost.

It's called often Eastern or cultural capital of LI. I've married 3 years ago.

I have two children - a son (Alena) and the daughter (Lashay). We all like Roller Derby.

Here is my page xxxxx.xxx

That sort of thing on a user page normally means spambot. (Note that the name given doesn't match the user name which was SabinaMorrow.) They often just have the user page, but some do post an article too. I've indeffed it without allowing talk page access, and deleted the user page too. The 'personal details' are almost always as banal as this. Peridon (talk) 22:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I have noticed a higer than (what I normally see) number of spam creaping up over the last week or so. Think were going to need a bigger mop. Amortias (T)(C) 22:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Reverse Translatase as a mechanism for generating antibody specificity

This may not be a great article but could you explain what you think the copyright issue is?©Geni (talk) 23:56, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, the page itself reads (to me) as an introduction to a piece of work or potential journal article. This seems more likely with the specific method that the article is signed off at the bottom. I havent had chance yet to go looking for the page in question. I can probably have a look shortly but figured it was better bringing it to the attention fo peple a bit more experienced in this matter. Amortias (T)(C) 00:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Can I suggest using Template:Cv-unsure for that in future cases? In this case I think the style issues are just due to the way the author writes.©Geni (talk) 01:02, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Noted, wasnt aware of that template. Amortias (T)(C) 01:04, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Donner60 fan

Two minutes after you left your message on my user page, I replied there: "I am not sure about the first but must say that you are correct about failing to meet WP:GNG." As it turns out, my notability was quite fleeting because the article was deleted at the same minute I left my reply! Donner60 (talk) 03:55, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Don't revert my edits.

You may not revert MY edits. Yes, some will be stupid, but I don't need a net now that I've fallen through the hole.

Hi, as an editor i am able to reverty any edits that fail to meet the criteria for inclusion. If you are unsure how to edit here then there are many places that can be of assistance to you and I can point you in these dirctions if you wish. Amortias (T)(C) 18:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Diamond and the Fosters Novel and Feature Film

Hello Amortias. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Diamond and the Fosters Novel and Feature Film, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I don't think we can really apply A7 to this; the film could come under "web" as it's on Youtube, but it has also been shown at festivals, and there is a book. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 22:10, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks for the update. Amortias (T)(C) 22:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I'll probably AfD this, unless you get there first - the book is vanity-published, and the "feature film" on Youtube is half a dozen segments of ten minutes or so, with a few thousand views each. JohnCD (talk) 22:13, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Will let you have this one. Am busy partolling abuse log at present. Amortias (T)(C) 22:14, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Eagle Scouts Ref

You messaged you changed my edit based on no credible references. I cited the peer reviewed journal article that confirms the notable aspect of the entry. What about that was insufficient? Thanks. Wolfvet

Wolfvet (talk) 18:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Wolfvet. Best practice when dding people to these lists is that they require an article of thier own before being added to prevent the lists being full of red links. If you can create the article then add him to the list that would suffice as the individuals notability would then be suitably confirmed. Hope that helps but if you need anything else let me know. Amortias (T)(C) 18:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

@Wolfvet: Red links are fine but all red links are not. Check WP:REDYES and WP:REDNOT to understand what to add and what to not. --QEDK ♠ T ♥ C 16:27, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, can you please provide some explanation with reards to the edits you made on the article.

The addition of the word man to the end of his name.
The addition of the word daick to his birthname.
The addition of the phrase these nuts to his place of birth.
The addition of the phrase diackk to his date of death.

Ok, its probably best to stick to serious editing while your here as it could be considered vandalsim which may end up with you getting blocked, if you want to try things out use the sandbox link near the top of the page where you can do (as long as its legal and not in breech of any wikipedia policy) pretty much whatever you want.

Talk:Gibraltar

Hi there. As one of the recent editors of Gibraltar who recently (knowingly or not) participated in an edit war over how much prominence to give to a certain item in the lead of the article, I am inviting you to comment on a proposal at Talk:Gibraltar towards unprotecting the article. Can I also take this opportunity to cordially remind you that it is both more collegial and more effective to discuss in talk than to join in an edit war? Thanks a lot. --John (talk) 23:29, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Addison Lee

Hi. I assume that your speedy deletion nomination of Addison Lee was a mistake? I cannot see any way in which it is an attack page, nor in which the "courtesy blanking" was appropriate. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 22:43, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah was my bad not checking the page history, if it has been a new page it would have looked like a fairly ambigious negative attack on someone but looking at the history was simple vandalism by an IP, page blanking was done when I tagged it as an attac page on Twinkle so was all part of the same. Will count this as todays cock-up. Amortias (T)(C) 22:45, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Alisha Heng Page

You said I created it and I didn't create it also if I find sourced material can I revert the edit since Vanessa Kirby didn't play the role. Also, I am going to change it on imdb so be patient.2607:FB90:240E:DC2C:3C59:9538:5DD:7E98 (talk) 02:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

IMDB isnt considered a reliable source as anyone can change it, you would need something similar to the official movies website, a press release confirming she played this part or something in a newspaper article. Your additions are also not being referenced correctly so please see this page for advice on how to include inline citations to back up the claims made by an article.

User:Mabelina

Hi there: ever since I fell out of favour (a propos of PurpleHz) with French Wiki my edits have been interfered with. I can't explain why - maybe you can? M Mabelina (talk) 12:35, 15 February 2015 (UTC) PS. PurpleHz's edits are dreadful btw....
PS. not sure how this interlinking is supposed to work?

Hi Mabelina, unfortunatley as I'm not an administrator i cant review the article that was previously deleted. What might be a useful way forward would be to request its undeletion as per this page this will give you the process to have the article recreated as a draft that will allow you to work on it without the risk of it being deleted. Once you are happy with it as a draft it can then be submitted for review to allow experienced editors to give you advice on its development (if nessceary) or move it to the main wikipedia pages. This will give you as much time as nessecary to get everything in order prior to its publication.

With regards to interlinking are you referring to the method used to create links between pages, if so guidance can be found here comonly referred to as Wikilinking.Amortias (T)(C) 12:41, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

No I'm not really referring to that -I'm simply referring to the fact that ever since I had anything to do with French Wiki it has been a nightmare - despite the fact that French Wiki is majorly deficient - but they won't be helped.... M Mabelina (talk) 12:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
