==Winged Cat==
The information I added to ] was properly referenced, and so far as I could tell complied with Misplaced Pages's ] policy. I find your claim that my original edit was not properly referenced to be incorrect, as said edit which you reverted included a Time.com source (granted, I did not label it as Time, but the URL went to time.com), which you agree is reliable, regardless of any disagreement we may have about the quality of the other references (which I would not have included if I did not believe them reliable - but you agree that it is properly referenced even without those, as evidenced by your removal of said extra references). If you disagree with this, I invite you to check the page history, and look carefully at my first edit or your reversion of it.

While I appreciate the spirit in which your reversion and warnings were done, you did them in error in this case. I urge you to take more care before you revert edits in the future. ] (]) 20:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

==Your Caution==
Firstly, if I have behaved in any way inappropriately by reversing your removal of a source, please accept my apologies.
I reversed it because I could not understand why on earth anyone would remove a single reference from an article that is ostensibly one that uses all its sources to document the history of a phenomenon.
However, given the length of time you have been editing, I naturally defer to your authority.
In the light of that, could you please explain to me why you singled out that specific source as unreliable, as to me it is no more or less so than many others.
Thereby, really I ought to strip the article considerably.
Many thanks.
PS: Cautioning was unnecessarily aggressive in my view.
I have never behaved in any way with malicious or ill intent, and have made considerably thorough contributions to WP in the single year of my membership. You could have found a more compassionate way to respond without losing your ground.

<!-- Start of message -->
Hi Otterathome, Thank you for your review of the First Draft I ever did on Misplaced Pages. I have to admit that it is very complicated and different platform for me..I created websites and used Dreamweaver ( long time ago), however I found that this platform is not easy. As for my 'article/Bio/Draft" on Djordje Djordjevic I know I missed external links and some validation. The problem is - and I have no idea how to resolve it - he came from former Yugoslavia to Canada before Internet time!! In a meantime former Yugoslavia doesn't exist, all publications about him are not in their archives anymore... I have all published articles( originals) with me but I can't find it on Internet!!!! Also, two galleries where he used to have exhibitions are closed now with no track record here in Toronto, Canada!!! I have his awards, his name published on invitation cards etc. but nothing, or small part is kept on Internet. I have just a few records about him that I will soon put on my Draft. It would be a pity not to have his name in Misplaced Pages - he was one great man and amazing artist. The whole Serbian community here in Toronto knows him. Any Advice will be highly appreciated.
There is so many links in every Misplaced Pages "how to do" sentence - that I simply don't know where to start.
Please help me.Thanks a lot!

<!-- End of message --> Hello Otterathhome, thank you for your guidance, I'm going to make a more thorough reasearch again. I am not sure if my references aren't too detailed. Before I started creating the page I had had a look at Misplaced Pages articles about other comparable instrumental musicians and I saw just a few references, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/Jake_Clemons. Another thing concerning instrumental musicians is that they are often sidemen of other, more recognizable musicians and therefore the possibility of finding very substantial referances may be a bit limited. Let me know what approach I should take, because I feel a little confused after the second rejection.

This article is actually a quasi-translation of a Chinese wikipedia page of the same topic. https://zh.wikipedia.org/%E7%A9%86%E6%96%AF%E6%9E%97%E7%9A%84%E8%91%AC%E7%A4%BC

If you just google the Chinese title "穆斯林的葬礼" you will see a lot of discussions from different sources, in recent years and in the past.
I do not think notability is an issue because this novel received the Maodun Literature Award, the most prestigious award of literature in China.
The book sold well in the 1980s. A movie was also made from it.

Edit warring over minor talk page commentary is stupid. It doesn't help you accomplish anything.

:It appears that an offhand comment of mine caused this block after Otter deleted it SIX TIMES, so I feel compelled to explain the context for uninvolved readers. The comment at issue: "I ''knew'' you guys love the beautiful music of deletion. :-) --Milowent (talk) 14:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)" Last month, Miami33139 and JBSupreme were putting up a host of software and IRC related pages for deletion, and I jumped in to scrutinize the mass AfD and to rescue some of them. Otter got wind of it (perhaps by checking up on my recent contributions, as we've sharing opposing opinions before in AfD matters), and added his thoughts to a few. On ] for ], which is a freebie i-tunes clone audio player, i suggested that miami and otter could make "beautiful music of deletion" together, since they are like-minded on AfDs, and it was a music related AfD. Then Miami at some point happened by ] and commented. Tubefilter has become a bit of an obsession for Otter and resulted in some other blocks recently for him, I believe. That elicited the comment I made. But even Miami saw that Otter had blanked my comment about four times by then, which kept being reverted by other editors, and commented above that Otter should "fight good fights" and leave this one alone. Otter commented on my own talk page about this edit at some point and "This isn't Myspace or Match.com, and isn't going to become anything like it due to the many idiots like you on the site." (Apparently wikipedians are dumber that myspace members, a question we'll leave to other fora) After being told repeatedly not to keep blanking my comment, I am sure Otter knew full well that he would be blocked if he continued to do so.--] (]) 20:12, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

This user may have left Misplaced Pages. Otterathome has not edited Misplaced Pages since 19 November 2017. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.

I am Otterathome, I registered in March 2008 and have been editing since. I have made over 2,000 edits.

There are a few users I dislike, namely and this user, but I put up with it.

Hello - Just curious, what was it about the edit at Techno Viking that you found incorrect? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:51, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Winged Cat

The information I added to Shia LaBeouf was properly referenced, and so far as I could tell complied with Misplaced Pages's living (or recently deceased) persons policy. I find your claim that my original edit was not properly referenced to be incorrect, as said edit which you reverted included a Time.com source (granted, I did not label it as Time, but the URL went to time.com), which you agree is reliable, regardless of any disagreement we may have about the quality of the other references (which I would not have included if I did not believe them reliable - but you agree that it is properly referenced even without those, as evidenced by your removal of said extra references). If you disagree with this, I invite you to check the page history, and look carefully at my first edit or your reversion of it.

While I appreciate the spirit in which your reversion and warnings were done, you did them in error in this case. I urge you to take more care before you revert edits in the future. Winged Cat (talk) 20:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

I was in the process of fixing this article, when I noticed in the history that you had merged it into Epic Meal Time#Cast and crew back in 2012. An IP editor re-created the page March 3 with a generally bad version of it (messed up cites, etc..) Wonder if I should just revert to your version, or you feel if a merger discussion is needed? — Strongjam (talk) 20:04, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Northamerica1000. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash. However, Misplaced Pages is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Misplaced Pages to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. North America 15:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

You'd think that if an unreliable source was used throughout a page, at least one editor would see it and remove it.--Otterathome (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Sure, but your edits made a relatively stable page unstable, per the multiple errors that were left after the edit. North America 15:51, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
A productive editor would've noticed what I attempted to do, and repaired it, not just bang on the revert button.--Otterathome (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Please consider fixing your own errors, rather than expecting others to do so for you. Thanks, North America 17:04, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Your Caution

Firstly, if I have behaved in any way inappropriately by reversing your removal of a source, please accept my apologies. I reversed it because I could not understand why on earth anyone would remove a single reference from an article that is ostensibly one that uses all its sources to document the history of a phenomenon. However, given the length of time you have been editing, I naturally defer to your authority. In the light of that, could you please explain to me why you singled out that specific source as unreliable, as to me it is no more or less so than many others. Thereby, really I ought to strip the article considerably. Many thanks. PS: Cautioning was unnecessarily aggressive in my view. I have never behaved in any way with malicious or ill intent, and have made considerably thorough contributions to WP in the single year of my membership. You could have found a more compassionate way to respond without losing your ground.

18:26:54, 30 July 2017 review of submission by Rproctor721


Hello, thanks for reviewing my page. I am new to submitting articles to Misplaced Pages, so I am trying to do it correctly. As best as I can tell, this article was rejected because it cited the university's athletic web site too much? I have added another newspaper reference and removed the facilities section which solely referenced the university's athletic web site. Rproctor721 (talk) 18:26, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

User:Rproctor721 All third-party sources are from Daytona Beach News-Journal. You need more, ideally non-local sources.--Otterathome (talk) 18:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Otterathome There are references from The Sun Conference, the Sunshine State Conference and the NAIA besides the local DB paper. When I look at all of the other pages of the teams in their conference, they don't have nearly the references that my page has. I guess I'm confused. Rproctor721 (talk) 02:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Request on 22:36:13, 31 July 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Maya MaxMara


Hi Otterathome, Thank you for your review of the First Draft I ever did on Misplaced Pages. I have to admit that it is very complicated and different platform for me..I created websites and used Dreamweaver ( long time ago), however I found that this platform is not easy. As for my 'article/Bio/Draft" on Djordje Djordjevic I know I missed external links and some validation. The problem is - and I have no idea how to resolve it - he came from former Yugoslavia to Canada before Internet time!! In a meantime former Yugoslavia doesn't exist, all publications about him are not in their archives anymore... I have all published articles( originals) with me but I can't find it on Internet!!!! Also, two galleries where he used to have exhibitions are closed now with no track record here in Toronto, Canada!!! I have his awards, his name published on invitation cards etc. but nothing, or small part is kept on Internet. I have just a few records about him that I will soon put on my Draft. It would be a pity not to have his name in Misplaced Pages - he was one great man and amazing artist. The whole Serbian community here in Toronto knows him. Any Advice will be highly appreciated. There is so many links in every Misplaced Pages "how to do" sentence - that I simply don't know where to start. Please help me.Thanks a lot! Maya MaxMara

Hello Otterathome, thank you for re-reviewing the page about tenor saxophone player Jimmy Roberts. I've already made some alterations in references using advice from the previous reviewer and I thought that would be enough. Could you please specify what else I should do to improve the reference part and make it acceptable? I will be very thankful for your advice.


NataliaWozniak (talk) 19:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)NataliaWozniak

User:NataliaWozniak the sources are not very substantial, mostly mentions of the subject in articles about bands.--Otterathome (talk) 19:45, 6 August 2017 (UTC) 
Hello Otterathhome, thank you for your guidance, I'm going to make a more thorough reasearch again. I am not sure if my references aren't too detailed. Before I started creating the page I had had a look at Misplaced Pages articles about other comparable instrumental musicians and I saw just a few references, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/Jake_Clemons. Another thing concerning instrumental musicians is that they are often sidemen of other, more recognizable musicians and therefore the possibility of finding very substantial referances may be a bit limited. Let me know what approach I should take, because I feel a little confused after the second rejection.

Hello! Thank you for getting back to me regarding the submission I made for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. You had responded that you declined my request and that I should make an edit to the existing Rainbow Bridge page. I did that on 8/6/2017 but I do not know if the edit went through properly. Please advise, as this process is honestly quite confusing.

20:16:34, 9 August 2017 review of submission by Blueslushie92


I am not asking for a re-review yet, for I plan to add more links verifying the subject's significance according to Misplaced Pages's standards and apologize for not doing so on the first pass. However, I was wondering why you said WP:Autobio's not welcome here when I am definitely not Adam J Kurtz. I have made or linked to several other Wikipedias for people related to him but am simply a fan. I do admit to getting his input as his Misplaced Pages publicly reflects him but I have no intention of not being objective in my submission. Let me know what I can do to correct this problem specifically. -ZH

21:32:24, 9 August 2017 review of submission by Mengyl97


This article is actually a quasi-translation of a Chinese wikipedia page of the same topic. https://zh.wikipedia.org/%E7%A9%86%E6%96%AF%E6%9E%97%E7%9A%84%E8%91%AC%E7%A4%BC

If you just google the Chinese title "穆斯林的葬礼" you will see a lot of discussions from different sources, in recent years and in the past.

I do not think notability is an issue because this novel received the Maodun Literature Award, the most prestigious award of literature in China. The book sold well in the 1980s. A movie was also made from it.
